O morn of golden splendor—
Day of the lowly King.
With mem’riea sad and lender.
We hail "toe light you bring!
You seem a door of beauty
That opes on hinge of gold.
Through which there streams Thy glory
Os story sweet and old!
And yet. as round us glowing.
We bathe in blessed light.
There sweeps a wave of f-cling
Too sad for pen to w rite.
Another golden Christmas day
Once dropped from heaven down.
Whose spleu-lor seemed the very light
That beamed from C.dv’ry’s crown.
With eye of seer and poet’s soul.
There walked these streets along,
A man whose deeds resplendent were—
Whose heart was full of song.
And of that day hr sang in prose
A poem rich—sublime!
Its t< nder strength and brightness rare
Still on us sweetly shine!
• ••••••a
A year! Another Christmas day!
The south’s sad heart was wrung!
For broken lay his peerless pen
Amt stilled his blessed tongue.
O Grady! dear, beloved dead!
We see you through our tears.
As crowns this golden Christmas morn.
The pyramid of years.
WILL D. I’PSHAYV.
We have been specially requested to re
print the beautiful “prose jutetn” of Mr.
Grady’s, alluded to in the altove piece by
our friend. “Earnest Willie." ft is now
siw years since it was written, and five
since th*writer left us. No doubt the nail
ing of “A Perfect t'hristmi’s Day.” will
awaken many pleasant, though sad memo
ri- a.
A Perfect Christmas Day.
No man or woman now living will see
again such a Christmas day as the one that
closed yesterday when the dying sun piled
the western skies with gold and purple!
A winter day it was. shot'to the core with
sunshine! It was enchanting to walk abroad
in Its prodigal beauty, to breathe its elixir,
to reach out the hands and plunge them
open-fingered through its pulsing waves of
warmth and freshness. It was June and
November welded and fused into a perfect
glory that held the sunshine and snow lie
math tender and splendid skies. To have
w.nnoweu such a day from the teeming
winter was to have found an odorous peach
on a bough whipped in the storms of win
ter. One caught the musk of yellow- grain,
rhe flavor vfpenefl »«t*. *He «»r
strawberries, the exquisite odor of violets,
the aroma of all seasons, in the wonderful
day The hum of Lex's underrode the whist
ling wings of wild gi-e.se flying southward.
The fires slept in drowsing grates, while the
people, marveling outdoors. wat< tied the
soft winds woo the roses and the lilies
Truly it was a day of days! Amid its
riotous luxury surely life was worth living.
Worth living to hob! up the b» ad and
breathe ft In us thirsting men drink water;
to put every’ sense on its gracious excel
lence; to throw the hands wide apart and
hug whole rrmfuD of day close to the
heart, till the heart itself Is enraptur’d and
lllumln* <L God s benediction came down
with the day. Flow-dropping from the skies.
God’s smile was its light, and all through
and through its supernal beauty and still
ness. unspoken but appealing to every heart
and sanctifying e'ery soul, w is His invoca
tion and promise.'Tea. e-on earth, good will
to men!’’
Christmas Greeting.
Tin* rears roll so swiftly by that we can
almost imagine we can hear the ex ho.of
our last Christmas greet ng yet rexeioei
attng when we come again to w. ii you a
merry and happy Christmas and new year. ,
Th«* Chrisrtm-tn Rift of the balw i»« i n ■
the world no many centuries ago. -while the ,
shepherds watched their flocks at night
makes this always a season of giving, and
to the little ones the brightest time of all
the year.
If wc will give sensibly the season 1* a
pleasure, but if v.e do n>t it often proves I
a burden. Think first of those who have 1
nothing, and 1-t your gifts bring pleasure •
to desolate bonus. Instead of going to
those only who are able to return them. ‘
It seems to me that God has so constituted
us that our hearts expan 1 at Christmas j
times, and w< would gladly give to all. but
many of ti* are debarred this privilege j
and no we must be content to do what w«* j
can.
One of the most beautiful sights that :
Christmas brings Is to l»e found in the big '
Flores atoiind the toy counters. Old hearts ,
grow young and glad watching the bright |
ryes and chubby handy that look and grasp 1
•nd see the joy that beams in every little i
face.
Ixmging little hearts are almost bursting 1
with the desire to 1* *so«« some beautiful
toy. The characteristics of the two sexes -
are plainly read as we watch the leoys i
who stand around the drums, herns, en
gines. bicycle*, etc., while the girls • •n- ,
gregale about the ’lolls, tea sets, cooking
stoves, etc. There is *omcthing for all. and
the children never w -ry of looking. Hut
the brightest pictures of all are the dear
e rger little ones who surround the w indows
and counters of the stores.
It is a pleasure to take a peep also at the
markets during Christmas times. For the
substantial* we see whole venisons sus
pended ready for sale, young pigs waiting
forth«- apple in the mouth, beautiful la-es,
birds upon bird*, turkeys, geese. ducks and
chickens, so nicely dressed and waiting f r
l.»e ov’ it. li'h of ell d-strlptions. some
frozen in blocks of ice, oysters, crabs, lob
sters and all sorts of things that live in
the sea—lndeed, there I* nothing that one
ran wish for that cannot l»» forthcoming.
Th* fruit stands an- simply lovely.de. •■•ra
ted with holly wreaths and brain lies ”f
mist! -t-»e. among which n-pose the bright
red apples, golden oranges, grape fruit.
Malay 1 and Tokay grapes and many other
luscious fruits. Indeed, everything put*
on h’didy attire and the crowded streets
attest the appreci’sti ti in which all these
good things are held by the gazing throng.
If I were a Santa <lnus there would l«e
no sad hearts at Christmas. but every
heart should be tilled with gladness.
Ix»t us at least meke the little ones
h.ippv —p-il our ear’s aside and stand brave
ly before the shadows that surround us
«nd cast only sunshine on our children.
Then. Indeed, will our I” arts joyously cat-h
up tie- angels’ song and long and loud will
•eho the refrain. “Peace on earth, good
will to men.”
The < Imiilniitia.i Message.
A Christmas message it is to be. “Aunt
Susi’-” says. Do.-s Christmas come to chau
tauquans just as to other people?
Ah! yes, indeed, unless it be different

You know your messenger told you last

“The Laniers.” Sidney battler, "the canon

For The Constitution.
And now Sam Jones gives it out that he
is going to start a new church —suinelhing
between the Protestant Methodist and the
Methodist Episcopal, 1 suppose.
Brown insists that he and I should arise
and exclaim, ”1 told you so!" This I re
fuse to do in the boasting manner pre
scribed by Brown, but us a fact, in an
humble way, 1 am willing to state that we
did predict this very state of affairs sev
eral years ago. Time and again, through
these letters, we warned the ‘.’hristian peo
ple and the preachers that such men as
Mr. Jones would some day retuse 10 be
disciplined and would start a religion of
their own it’you made them mad. Our very
words at that time were “they will start
a church of their own if you fool with
’em.”
Many accused me then that I was spite
ful, a crank and was just afraid that “our
Sam” might curtail my morning’s toddy, j
and that 1 was mad with old Mrs. Lease ■
just because she was from the grand state ;
of Kansas. Os course it was like unto .r
fly lighting on an elephant for me to
tackle Mr. Jones—he dident know a thing
of it and will never know; but our Sam
had many warm friends in our settlement
who t’id knew of what 1 wrote ami who
defended their friend and gave me haii
Columbia.
The truth is that .1 have always been an ;
admirer of Sam Jones’s ability, and noth- ,
ing I said was felt against him pers mally,
but against the "style” of which he was ■
the most brilliant !■ presentative. The same ,
applies as to what 1 said of Sam Small. |
Mrs. Felton and some others. As for Mis. j
Lense, she should have remained in Kan- I
san, the hotbed of more deviltry than any .
country 1 have ever studied. A* tor Dr. ■
Hawthorne, with his themrieal didoes 111 '
the church, as he is not trying to start a ;
church of his own just yet, 1 w ill say |
nothing at present, but when the proper |
time comes 1 shall Jun Blown in his loud- '
e.-1 acclaim to the Baptist b:ethren —"1 told ;
you so! I told you so!”
To return to Mr. Jones. How far a
mail can go in making departures without
being vviong is a question as 10 what is
wrong or what is right Is a question. One
generation may bang a fi-llow; the
generation may tmil.l a monum» nt to th •
same teiiow’s memory. -.Surely 1 will agree
that something i needed to save and
purify the church—l have *aid that for a
long while but 1 do think vie should avoid
tearing to pieces the dear old churches
around vvhi-h so many happy memories
cluster, if we possibly ean. Suppose we
try getting back to the good old-time ways.
This would he no experiment. Move out
the organs, the horns, the choirs no use
111 talking, vv.- all know wuat is needed to
get buck into ways under which the
church was sacred, and Mr. Sam Jones is
Ho mure rcspansible ter the conditions of
which he h.mseif is a victim than ate thou
sands, except according as he is smartei
than others.

will relate here one of the incidents of old
lx tenzn’s' life as a sugg " ticn of the man
ner of a man he was. as well as to stiinulate
the young to hunt up his life;
Mr. Dow, like "our Sam,” was a great
"evangelist.” XX’ithout price and without
food—not like "our Sam" in this —old Lo

came upon a rail-splitter in th wilderness

lead from Lorenza’s little book ami knelt in
prayer down by th” log or stump. Mr. Dow
would leave an appointment with the vtoods
n<an to he circulated, about as follows; "Lo
renza Dow wiil preach from this stump
upon such anil such a day; at such an
hour." It might be months ahead—tiris
appointment —but old Lorenza was sure to
he there, and tie would preach, if only to
the birds ami trees. The people learned
him; he grew famous and the time cam '
when he never had to prat h just to tlw
trees and birds and flowers. For miles
upon miles the people would gather, and
after awhile little churches were built along
the trail; virtues grew; religion flourished
and the people were happy. There were no
bit kerings. no going to law among neigh

in a stew - upon the occasion of one of the 1
preacher’s visits. There had been a chicken ■
thief among them anil not a “yellow leg j
could be had. 1 suppose old Lorenza was a |
Methodist, for he did not like this absence ‘
of chickens, and he went to work at once .
to find the thief- At the night servi e the ’
congr gation had gathered and was growing ,
a little restless, waiting for the preacher.
But they did not have to wait long. Di
rectly old Lorenza stalked up the aisle with
a washpot U'pon his head, and it was a
great big. sooty washpot. too. In the wash
|x»t was confined a large backwoods roos
ter. Tlje congregation wondered what in
the world old Lorenza wauled with a wash
pot and a rooster at church. But never mind,
he will show tlmrn. After placing his pot
and rooster dewn before the pulpit and
blowing a moment, the p.' va her ordered the
congregation o form in a ring around the
pot. After this the lights wore put out and
old Lorenza i iformed the crowd that when
the chicken thief touched the pot the roos
ter would crow. Th’-n he started them all
in a march arouud the pot and every one
must rub th'ir right hand on it. The
march was taken up; all had rubbed their
right hands against the pot and nut a roos
ter had crowed.
"Light the candles,” said old Dow, and
the candles were lit. , ,
"Now. hold out .votir hands, demanueu
"'laire was one rough fellow that had

suppress his doctrine th -y wtiipped mm
very severely and started him away. 1 wish
to .' top here long -nuugh t” say, as a fact,
that the spot of ground where this old
pr-acher was wnipp-'d -then a pretty, green

was wither'*'! at once. The grass and trees
everyth ng living died as if by a tire and
the little spring dried Up. About an acre us

never, since that cruel whipping took place,

From The Binghampton, N. Y., Republican.
We have heard so much talk throughout
the country of late concerning Mrs. Martha

yesterday a reporter of The Binghampton

and her story, which will interest all wo
men, is as follows;
"I was born in Hartford, Cortland county.
New York, forty-two years ago. I have
been married twenty-one years and am the
mother of eirht children. About two jfiearw
ago I was afflicted with troubles incidental
to my sex, and sutferetl agonizing pain. The
trouble continued to grow worse, until last
winter I was compelled to take to my bed.
I called in a regular physician, but hi]»
treatment did not seem to do me mart
goo I, and only relieved me for a little
time, after which my condition I-eq ame
