To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-dntcd flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize.
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From oat the viewless air.
There is no death i The leaves may fall.
And flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of May day.
There is no death 1 An angel form
"Walks o'er the earth with silent tread
And bears our best-loved things away.
And then we call them "dead I"
He leaves our hearts all desolate.
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers ;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn Immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose Joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife,
BIngs now an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Where'er he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice.
He bears it to that world of light.
To dwell In Paradise.
Born nnto that undying life.
They leave us but to come again ;
With Joy wo welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
Tho dear, immortal spirits tread ;
For all the boundless universe

HIS TTJEtf.
It was the afternoon of the 24th of
December, and John wrapped up in
his new overcoat, was goiug down
town, with a hop and a jump to spend
his last coppers for a Christmas pres
ent. He was six years old, and as be
went along he tried to whistle "Shoo
Fly," like the big boys, and wonder
ed to himself why Christmas didn't
come more than once a year, and if
they'd ever get to coming oftener, and
If they'd been going on just like this
before he was born as lie dodged the
mothers hurrying home witii dolls'
heads peeping out of newspaper par
cels, and fathers with a fat turkey by
the legs, and market women haggling
over their poultry, and workmen car
rying green Christmas tree, and stop
ped to look into gay shop-windows
and at the crowd of good-humored
buyers and sellers. He was bound for
the silversmith's himself, to buy his
"mother a real silver thimble, to save
her gold one, and because he had
Smelted the other in the shovel over
the dining-room fire, in order to turn
It into plowshares and pruning-honks,
with the aid of a bowl of cold water,
thinking she didn't ueed two thim
bles and a sewing machine. He was
going to put his purchase into her
stocking; and when she waked up in
the morning wouldn't Bhe be surpris
ed and laugh to find another silver
thimble there, just where her toe
ought to be! After he had bought
his present, the confusion street lamps
and early twilight and the jostling,
hurrying crowd bewildered liirn, and
he struck out, by mistake, into a nar
row alley, where he stopped, attracted
by a ragged urohin, who was gazing
wistfully in at a bakers's holiday dis
play of smoking loaves and tarts.
I eay, don't you almost taste 'em?'
said the urchin, capering first on one
foot, and then on the other, to keep
himself warm.
They ain't anything to my moth
er's tarts,' answered John, remember
ing the pantry at home.
You ain't hungry, I'll bet?'
' No, but I'm going home to sup
per.' Wish I was!'
Why don't.'you go then ?'
Cause there ain't any to go to.'
' No supper! Why, everybody has
supper. It's Christmas Eve, you
know!'
Christmas Eve? What's that?'
Why, don't you know ?'
The night before Christmas,
"When all through tho house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
quoted John, laughingly. When
you hang up your stocking and Santa
Claus comes riding over the housetops,
when you are asleep, and puts pres
ents in it! Christmas Eve, when the
bells all ring, when when
"When Shepherds watched their flocks by
night.
All seated on the ground.
The angel of the Lord came down.
And glory shone around.
"Why, you know it, of course. Every
body knows it. It's in the papers
It's been ever since ever 6ince I
was born. Last year I had a top, and
a drum, and a hqrn of candy!'
4 1 say, where'd you get 'era?' ask
ed the other eagerly.
' Why, Santa Claus, he brought 'em.
What did he bring you?'
Not a red! Where does he live?
He's the chap for my money !'
' Oh! he lives 'way off somewhere,
'mong the icebergs and things.'
'Oh! I 'spose he's an uncle of yourn,
Jim, in our alley, had an uncle who
brought him a guinea pig onct.'
' Don't you know who Santa Claus
Is?' laughed John, not quite clear in
his own mind about the matter, but
anxious to enlighten the darkened
mind of his neighbor, 'He isn't my
uncle any more than he's yours or any
body's.'
He ain't nothing to me, no way,'
said the other. 'I ain't never put eyes
on him.'
' Neither have I,' said John. 'No
body 6ees him. He always comes af
ter dark, when the children are in bed
and the lamps are out and nobody's
looking. But he always puts some
thing into your stocking Christmas
eve, doesn't he?'
' I dunno. I never found anything
there but holes.'
Neverfoundanything Inyourstock
Ing?' cried John. 'Perhaps you didn't
bang It up in the right place.'
Never hung It up at all.'
'Oh! couldn't vou reach ? Who
didn't you get your mother to do it for
.you v
I ain't got any mother. Nothing
but a Granny Patch who ain't no
Granny of mine neither where I
sleep in tiie garret.'
No mother! Howdoyon get along?'
gaped John. 'Who tucks you into
bed and hears your prayers, and puts
out the light for you, and gets your
Sunday clothes out of the drawer, and
makes the Chrletmas pudding?'
I guess nobody makes any pud
ding for me, and I ain't got any oth
er clothes in the drawer.'
'My!' said John beginning to doubt
his ears. 'But you have the wishbone,
don't you?' brightening.
The what?'
' The wishbone out of the Christmas
turkey. Don't you know?'
Don't have any turkey. I reckon
Christmas ain't any different from
most any other day down in this alley.
Dunno nothing about it.'
'How awful!' said John. 'I'm
dreadful sorry. I thought there was
enough Christmas to go all round.
Perhaps,' thoughtfully 'perhaps I've
had more'n my share. I didn't mean
to.'
A I103' with no mother, and no oth
er clothes, who don't hang up his
stocking, nor have any Christmas din
ner, nor any golden dream of Santa
Claus, nor any Christmas promises
how did he contrive to live?
But you are going to hansc up your
stocking to-night, ain't you?' a-ked
John, not fully pursuaded that he un
derstood his own ears.
"Twouldn't be no use, unless they
was wet,' said the urchin.
' Anyway, you'll have a cake aud
some walnuts to-morrow. Everybody
does, 'cause its Christmas, you know.'
' I guess Christmas don't come down
tills way. I'm going to help the ba
ker carry home his beans and bread
to-morrow, though; and he's going to
give me a loaf, and maybe he'll throw
in one of those tarts. Who knows?
T say, I wish 'twas to-morrow now.'
' And you ain't going to have any
Christmas, but a loaf of bread? And no
turkey, nor wishbone, and nothing in
your stocking, and you're going to
wear your every day clothes, and
they've irot oil dear! I clionlil hate
to be I mean I'm dreadful sorry? I'll
tell you what I'll do! You bhall have
a Christmas. I've had lots of 'em,
and I guess it is 3'our turn now. You
shall go and have my Christmas, and
I'll stay here and have yours, and car
ry the baker's loaves for him.'
'Oh! I wouldn't besodurned mean!'
said the urchin ruefully.
' It ain't mean to take Christmas
presents, I tell you. Here, yon just
put on my overcoat 'cause there ain't
any other overcoat at home; and j'ou
run up to my home you'll know it
by the fountain that doesn't
splash any more in the yard ; and
you walk in at me end door 'cause
may be yourfeet will besuowy I do;
and tell my mother you're going to
have your turn, anil you're going to
be me till after Christmas, and I'm
going to be you;' taking the silver
thimble out of his pocket gingerly,
'perhaps you had better say I sent
this. Butthen it wouldn't be all your
Christmas, would it? No, you may
give it to her your own Felf. and I'll
carry the baker's loaves, and '
' I'm afraid it will seem wussa-com-Jng
back afterward,' sighed the ur
chin.
And juEt then John's father and
mother, who had just begun to miss
him and to worry because he staid so
late, suddenly pounced upon the two
chatting before the bakery window,
and carried them home to keep Christ
mas. Aud the urchin's turn had
come indeed ; and he npver failed of a
holiday after that, though he once said
it seemed as if every day was Christ
mas dnce his turn had come.' In-pendent.
Church and State.
The Church must be content with
being protected in its worship, and in
the enjoyment of its own opinion;
but it must be taught to beware how
it attempts to interfere with the prop
er functions of the State. If it seeks
to become a political party, it must
expect to he treated as a partisan ; and
any political party which is willing
to use the seotanan zeal of a particu
lar church to promote its political
power, becomes justly obnoxious to
the suspicion of all other ohurches, if
not to their opposition. The Demo
cratic parly, at the present time, lies
under that imputation. If that party
and the Catholic Church have con
spired to acquire and share political
power, they cannot complain that
other 3ects or any other par
ties are becoming jealous of their
rights.
The Kecly Motor.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, editorial
ly says : "We have just visited and
seen the Keely motor in operation.
The secrets and the workings of this
new engine, as well as the capacity of
this new motive power or new force,
have not been, and perhaps for some
time will not be fully described. One
thing, however, is certain. ; the pow
er used is cold vapor; it is generated
without heat, without light or the use
of ohemlcals. And it may be stated,
and it is stated absolutely, without
fear of contradiction that the force
generated from a quart of water is suf
ficient to propel an ocean steamer.
Nor can it be limited except by the
strength of the materials composing
the engine in which the force is gen
erated and applied."
The Republican party is the ad
vance guard of ail reform, and of ail
great improvements that benefit hu
manity. It is the educator of the
people; this is apparent, from the
fact, that to-day all the measures it
advocated fifteen years ago, nay, even
ten years ago, are associated by the
people, and admitted to based on those
principles that underlie human justice
and human happiness.

THE LEGEND OF THE MISTLETOE.
Old Santa Claus woke, one bright cold morn,
In righteous indignation,
And swore, in a way, wc blush to say,
"Was shocking beyond relation,
That he could not, would not, should not btfar
This state of things any longer;
He'd soon find out, by his saintly beard,
"Which, he or Cupid, were stronger 1
It seems that our Sairit had eirtliward peefed
Through stirrirt iH his palace,
And Sten a sight that with reason might
Enkindle a good saint's malice :
Young Love had come from his tropic home,
With flag and banners flying,
To boldly reign in the Saint's domain,
AH right and might defying.
The snow-drifts, catching his smile of light, with sunset hues wercglowing;
The brooklet, echoing his soft low laugh, from wintry chains was flowing;
The icicles shone on every tree with hues of prismatic splendor;
The very sky took a softer blue, the sunbeam a radiance tender;
But worse than all oh, far, far worse
Thin all thit trihulation !
A dreadful spell on young folks fell
In every clime and nation.
The boy, whose hope in its farthest scope
Was placed on his Christmas dollar, .
Now rhymed of doves, and sighed for loves,
And sported a Byron collar;
And girls "Ah, the girls!" the good Saint groaned
'Twas so altogether shocking :
They dreamed of clothes and mustached beaux,
Instead of a Christmas stocking !
"All Cupid's work!" growled the irate Saint
"The graceless, gay young sinner :
I'll lay my rod on that impish god
Ere I eat my Christm?s dinner.
To beard me thus in my domain : "
The rogue is past. redemption.
I'll break his darts, I'll mend his'hearts,
Or I'll " What, we need not mention.
So Santa Claus donned the bear-skin coat
Bequeathed him by Ursa Major,
" Took something strong, for the way was long
(Our Saint is a keen old stager).
His reindeer team shook their silver bells,
And sniffed the northTwind gladly;
"Now," Santa Claus cried, "hurrah for a ride!
These earth folks need me sadly."
They skimmed the frozen polar sea, like a dart from cross-bow spinning;
O'er snow-clad plains they swiftly sped, like swallows southward winging ;
Through forests dim, where ice-clad trees in ghostly garb were bending ;
Through wizard realms, where night and dayinlightand shade were blending
Like flitting dream sped the reindeer team,
The Saint cheering "Onward !" loudly,
Till hoofs struck fire from tower and spire
Where Cupid's flag floated proudly.
Like summer rose glowed the saintly nose
The punchhad been somewhat heady
His brow knit with ire, his eye flashed fire
He grasped his rod and made ready
Then, hiding his sleigh behind a cloud,
And gathering his furs about him,
With stately port into Love's own court
The Saint advanced to rout turn.
The traitor's "court was a crystal hall,
Bedecked with wreaths and flowers;
For Love had breathed o'er the sleeping earth
And wakened the spring-time flowers.
The holly twined round the gleaming dome,
And hung o'er each lofty portal,
While ivy leaves wreathed each taper bright,
Like Love in its youth immortal.
The youth aud the maids of every age
The traitorous god surrounding,
Were hailing 'with joy the saucy boy.
The tableau was quite confounding.
Our good Saint muttered, in heart-felt wrath, .
An unsaintly exclamation;
For Cupid, perched in a swinging wreath,
Was lord of the situation.
"Why, who comes here?" quoth the laughing god.
" 'Tis I," growled the Saint, with paisron :
"'Tis Santa Claus, Christmas' long crowned king,
Though now, it seems, out of fashion.
Begone, young Sir : we've had quite enough
Of your mad-cap court and revel;
Now Santa Claus reigns in his own domains,
And you may fly to the !"
Our Saint here raised his threatening rod ;
The lad only laughed still bolder;
Then leaping right from his garland bright,
Came plump on the Saint's broad shoulder.
"Most potent, grave, and reverend Sir
(I quote a well-known poet),
Though I'm sometimes bought, I am never caught
When I am, just let me know it.
You brought this rod to banish a god,'.
He cried, as he snatched it gayly;
"And faith it stings; but I'm blessed with wings
That save me from trouble daily.
GoodTathtr, your switch shall famous be:
By way of retaliation,
Old Santa Claus rod I now declare
My wand of administration.
Each thorn to a verdant leaf shall grow,
Undying as Love's own bowers ; - r
Each snow-flake to berry waxen white
As Hymen's festal flowers.
The mistletoejough, by Cupid's vow,
Is spell-bound now and forever,
And winter with icy touch shall ne'er
The bloom from the branches sever;
And under its shade each youth and maid . r;
Shall forfeit to Cupid's treasure
The tax that he sips from rosy lips,
And claims at his royal pleasure."
So saying, he waved the mystic bough
Quite solemnly three times round him.
What words can paint the wrath of our Saint !
He found that the spell had bound him.
"You forget, Sir," cried the roguish god :
"I gave you an honest warning.
You'll find the kiss from each bright-eyed miss
Most certainly not alarming."
In vain old Santa Claus stormed and swore :
What would have been maledictions
Were lost 'mid the curls of threescore girls
And changed into benedictions.
They kissed him on lips, on cheek, on chin;
His saintly old beard was bristling:
They kissed, though he scowled- they kissed, he growled,
Young Cupid in glee was whistling.
"Grace, grace!" at length roared the poor old Saint,
In utter desperation ;
"Confound that bough ! it would peril, I trow,
St. Anthony's reputation."
"My arctic friend," cried the roguish boy,
"I'm not so easily banished."
Then flinging his rod at the laughing god,
Our Saint up the chimney vanished.
MORAL.
A moral is always at least they tell me "
The key of the archway, the pith of the tree, tV- ""
The dark, rugged root whence the bright blossoms 'grow,"
The strong, bitter suds whence the soap-bubbles blow;
But not being much of a moralist's mind,
It takes some hard thinking a moral to find.
Our saint's sad experience just leads me to say,
Young Love $$ a despot; so don't say him nay..
Our wills are his plaything pur hearts are his throne:
f2.c t ragcal must rule tjs, why let him alone.
