UNDER THE HOLLY BOUGH.
Ye who have scorned each other,
Or injured friend or brother,
In this fast fading year;
Ye who, by word or deed,
Have made a kind heart bleed,
Come father here.
Let sinned against and sinning,
Forget their strife’s beginning,
And join in friendship now;
Be links no longer broken,
Be sweet forgiveness spoken,
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have loved each other,
Sister an 1 friend and brother,
In this fast-fading yetr;
Mother and sire and child,
Young man and maiden mild,
Come gather here.
And let your hearts grow fonder,
As memory shall ponder
Each past unbroken vow;
Old loves and younger wooing
Are sweet in the renewing
Under the holly bough.
Ye who havenourished sadness,
Estranged from hope and gladness,
In this fast-fading year;
Ye with o’erburdened mind
Made aliens from your kind.
Come gather here.
Let not the useless sorrow
Pursue your night and morrow;
If e’er you hoped, hope now—
Take heart uneloutl your faces,
And join in our embraces
Under the holly bou;h.

Romance of a Husking.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.
'ARMER JENKINS’S
husking bee the other
night was the rollick
i ingest, jolliest, mer
r 74t. riest and gayest, fn
the first place, the far¬
mer has the biggest
' 'AfST-. 'er
xl§- daughter barn and the prettiest
jry in the whole
township, and, in the
second place, his wife makes the
sweetest doughnuts and the thickest
pumkin pies aud the richest molasses
cake of any one near here. And, in ad¬
dition to all these attractions, a pretty
little romance was brought to a charming
finale in a most original and quaint man
ner just before the husking was done.
Janie Jenkins is a most bewitching
bundle of wilful womanhood, with do
licious, demure little ways that win your
heart, but with a certain proud dignity
that commands your respect. If ever she
lifts her long, dusky lashes and reveals
the wistful depths of her wonderful eyes
you feel like taking her in your arms as
you would a baby that is sobbing; but
if you so much as touch the tips of her
fingers she fiasnes a look of scornful de
fiance from those same depths that would
right about face a wnole regiment of
men . Even in her childhood’s merry
games of forfeits no daring rustic laddie

kissing and nonsense and would have

and thought no more of going out in

eared her or heeded her pretty imperious
lys at all. Perhaps it was the care that
tu« father’s death brought to him as a
child that develoDed his strength and
firmness and fearlessness; perhaps it was
only the dignity of his great love for
Janie that made him her master. Thu
day they buried the kitten he told her not
to cry, for she would be his little wife
some day, and when she indignantly
lisped her vow never, never to be any¬
body’s wife, he only laughed and said:
‘r.iat'sall rigut, Janie, for n>,v, out
you'll change your mind some day.” l
Every one in Wilton thoug it Janie

could pull her skiff steadily and still to
where there were schools of bass hid in
the cool waters of the lake, and land the
gamiest of them without a scream, and
when she cleared a five-rail fence on the
wicked little pony which he had seen her
saddle and mount, his respect grew into
wondering, piquant interest. He liked
the proud reserve with which this little
r.ral beauty met his advances, the pretty,
scornful curl of the red lips at his finest
compliments and the haughty poise of
the small head as her eyes flashed charm¬
ing negatives to his proposals. He
fancied what a wonder she would be
once she learned her power; what a
queenly beauty in the apparel which his
wealth could give her; what a strong,
tender woman once herspirit were broken
and her heart melted.

FtCED TIIEM TAKE A FRIGHTENED BIRD.
Ihirrison looked on grimly at all this
wooing, ground his teeth sometimes as
she rode by with the handsome stranger
on the horse he taught her how to ride,
but always smiled at last in confident con
tent, and said to himself: “She will flirt*
with that city chap to the end of the
chapter, but she will be my wife at last.”
lie told her so the dry of the husking,
when he was helping her fasten the cedar
festoons. Her laco was tem itiuglv near
ais as she raised it to lift to him some
more of the greeus, and they were just
beneath the kissing wreath, too, but
when he would have claimed his just and
lawful dues she stopped him with a pretty
protesting “please,” anjl as she turned
her flushed face away he could sea the
full white throat quiver a little as with a
sudden contraction, and the lips trembled
strangely. They were all alone in a big
fragrant place just for a iniuute, and he
stooped suddenly and caught her with a
noose of the green rope he was draping
and asked if she bad forgotten that she
was to ba his wife some day, and when
iustead of the usual spirited protest, she
only laughed and told him softly that
when she was quite sure she was ready
she would give him the kiss she owed
him, he freed her and went on with his
hammering aud whittling,
That had been a trying day for Janie,
She had h elped her mother with the

most for. It was
too had of Harrison to say what he did
when she had so much to do and no time
t0 think it out at all, and after she had
oce proposal.
But already the people were coming,
and there was no time to think then, so
she flew into a dark blue gingham dress,
with a broad collar turned back from her
soft, white throat, ant knotted with
scarlet ribbons, tied a red apron arounl
her trim waist, and trippsl lightly down
the stairs and through the moonlight to
the barn, where sjje met her guests with
her merry, glad greeting, and there
seated herself on a big corn shock, with
her small, shapely head outlined against
the yellow corn heap at her back, and
hot blushes sweeping over her face,
Something evidently was the nutter with
Janie, for the lithe, brown bauds that
usually were swiftest of all at the wor e
trembled provokingly as she tore the yel
low husks away, with the soft eyelashes
resting against her warm, flushed
cheeks.
Sucu a laugh as arose when Jane, of
all others, found the first red ear, but
the girl her*elf grew strangely pale for
an instant ; thyu vyith a bound nhe flew as
fleetly as a deer round and round the
room, in and out among the workers,
One by one the pursuers dropped out of
the race, except Harrison and Adolphus.
The people knew pretty well th; state oi
affairs between the three, and watched
with breathless interest the result of the

length, finding . herself in a corner where
there was no escape, she caught one of
the festoons and half climbed^ half drew
herself up to the top of the great corn
heap, where she poised, turned and faced
them like a frightened bird in a snare.
Adolphus would havedashed up after her,
but Harrison put his big, brown hand
commandingly on the other’s shoulder
and bade him wait. “Now, Janie,” he
said, in the old confident, sweet tone,
“come down and take your pick.”
Just for a second she waited, but in
that fatal second came back to her all
the years of sweet companionship, of
helpfulness and trust. Why, of course,
she couldn’t live without him: of coursr
she was to be his wife some day; of
course she belonged to him—hadn’t he
a! ways said so, even by the kitten's grave;
and just then the corn shock she stood
on gave a great slide, and, without any
effort of her own, she was in his arms,
and cverbody was cheering and shouting
in the place. And right in the midst of
it all didn't Harrison say with atriumph
ant gleam in his flashing eyes: “I told
you so, Janie; and now for the kiss.”
She lifted the shadowy lashes just for
a second with a look in her eyes that
made the big, strong fello w feel as weak
as a woman, and kbucJ him 3 .ftly once,
twice, thrice, before them all. Then
she ran away, and he couldn’t get near
her again until after the tables were
cleared and the dancing was to begin,
The stranger disappeared, and uo one
could find him at the supper, but when
the long lines of the Virginia reel had
formed, he mounted the quickly im
provised platform, took Harrison’s
violin, bade him go aud find Janie to lead
the dance, and then ho played such
music as the people had never heard be
fore, and watched Janie trip down the
centre with both small hands held fasl
and hidden in her lover’s broad brown
ones. The next morning he went away
and there’s to be a wedding on Christmas,
and he says lie’s coming back to play
while Janie leads the dance again___

The Christmas Boar's Head.
The boar's head may be served on
Christmas Day, but in our democratic
country it must not expect the ceremony
formerly accorded to it ia England,
when the boar’s head was the chief dish
in the palace and the castle, and wa3
brought to the table with great pomp
and ceremony,
Kings arrayed with crown and sceptre
and clothed iu ermine, surrounded by
their wondering subjects, awaited its
arrival at table. The boar's head was
placed on a large silver platter and sur
mounted with a kind of baldachino or
“castellys” of gold aud enamel.”
The gorgeous fabric was carried bj the
tallest of the king's guard, proceeded by
two huntsmen, one carrying a boar spear
and the other a drawn falchion, and by
two pages carrying mustard, which was
indispensiblc as the boar’s head itself,

Making Sure of Her Epitaph.
“Au interesting experience of mine,”
said a dealer in monuments to a New

The Japanese Massage.
One of the secrets of the fine phy¬

universal use of the mossngc treatment.
The blind men are th;| 'isseurs of Japan.
They are known as ttfi’ shampooers, and
the trade of shampooing is given entirely
over to them. They are organized into
a great trade guild, have their offices,
their fixed prices and their rules of labor,
and they ply their trade in every city and
village of the country.
Every night, says a writer in the
Philadelphia ledger, you will hear a
shrill whistle which forms their street
cry outside your door, and if you are of
the taste of the ordinary Japanese you
will call one of them in and give your
tired body in liis hands. From long
training they understand the location
of every muscle and every, nerve, and
with deft lingers they will go over your
body as it lies on the floor aud press each
atom until you feel as though you were
being mashed to a pulp, but endure the
sensation knowing that you will awake a
new man, with every force revivified and
every muscle renewed. processevC/iday." Exr-y Japanese

An Immense farm.
In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lie* the largest producing farm
in t!;e world, measuring loO miles m>rth
and south, and twenty-five miles east and
we t. It is owned and ojreiated by a
syndic rte of northern capitalits. The
1,500,090 acres of the Tact were purchased
in 1883 from the State of Louisiana and
from the United States government.
At that time it was a vast grazing land
for the cattie of the few dealers of the
neighborhood, over 30,000 jhead of half
wild horses and cattle being hsreon.
Now this immense tract is divided into
convenient pasture stations, or ranches,
existing alone every six miles. The fencing
cost in the neighborhood of $5u
000. The Southern Pacific railway runs
for thirty-six miles through the farm.
The company has three steamboats oper
a'itig on the waters of their estates, of
which there are over 300 miles navigable.
They have also an icehouse, a bank, a
sbijsya**) and a rice mill.

The people at the World’s
Dispensary of Buffalo, N. Y.,
have a stock-taking time once
a year and what do you think
they do? Count the number
of bottles that’ve been re¬
turned by the men and women
who say that Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery Prescrip¬ or
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
tion didn’t do what they said
it would do.
And how many do you
think they have to count.
One in ten ? Not one in five
hundred /
Here are two remedies—
one the Golden Medical Dis¬
covery, for regulating and in¬
vigorating the liver and purify¬
ing the blood; the other, the
hope of weakly womanhood,
and they’ve been sold for
years, sold by the million bot¬
tles; sold under a positive- five
guarantee , and not one in
hundred can say :
“ It was not the medicine for
me!”
And—is there any reason
why you should be the one ?
And—supposing you are what
do you lose ? Absolutely
nothing /
