Attempt to meet and Know.
Yesterday during all the day a feeble
attempt was made to give us a little snow.
Flakes fell thick and fast at one time, and
we thought a little snow-balling would be
In order, or at leasf that the occasion
would warrant the repubUcatlon of ■’Beau
tiful Snow." But it did not snow much,
neither did it sleet to hurt—but the cold
was bitter and raw. Everything is frozen
over, and the “oldest inhabitant" Is re
freshing his memory as to the time he
saw a similar cold spell. All vegetation,
particularly the grain crop, will suffer.
Wood Is In demand, and steadily rising
in price—which is hard on the poor.

Death to Mmall brain.
The present oold weather Is destroying
the grain crop. We hear of a number of
farmers who planted a fow weeks ago,
and whose oats hsve come up In small
spots. Tho estimate made Is that at least
one-half of the oat crop will havo to bo
replanted.,
Wo are sorry to hear this, for our peo
ple have Just begun to turn their attention
to grain. Our opinion (founded upon the
opinion of tho best farmers) is that grain
should not bo sowed until January’. Wo
think the only advantage to be gained In
sowing In the fall is to get the crop out of
the way, that other work may bo done In
January—and for tho additional reason
that grain sowed In November will make
a sort of half-way winter pasture for light
Stock.

Cbeek In Church.
During kU campaigning tour down
East Bob Ingeraoll one Sunday went to.’a
fashionable church. With characteristic
Western independence he ignored the offi
cious usher, and selecting the finest pew
he could find csconced himself in the
soiled corner. Boon|the great man who
owned the pew came along with his fami
ly and sat down. But such impudence
could not be permitted to pass by unre
bulced, and the proprietor of the box wrote
on a Uy-lcaf of a hymn book, "I pny $2,-
000 a year rent tqr this pew,” and passed it
to Bob. “Quick as thought the ready
pencil Jcamc out, the book was returned
with an additional line, and the indignant
owner read the comment: “D and fine
pew for the price.” The droppings of the
sanctuary fell on one insulted and burning
heart that morning, but it did not beat un
der Ingersoll's vest.
The Yule I,o*.
In accordance with the Scriptiml teach
ing “Christ is the true light which shall
lighten every man that comelli into the
whold," and the “Light of Lights” prom
isctljin the prophseies to the Gentiles,
the Christmas, or Yule Festival was also
called by the early Christians “The Feast
of lights.” In the ancient days both the
Western and Eeastein churches (and to
the present in the Church of liome) large
and highly-ornamentttl wsx candles are
burned in the Christmas celebration. Out
of tins custom, most probably, grew the
introduction of the Yule block, clog or
log, in the rural districts of England,
alter the Christian religion had there be
come established.
Except in Church observances, the use
of the Christmas candle is now obsolete.
The Yule-log, for fire of Christmas Eve,
in many portions of England and Scot
land is still gathered early in autumn
and saved for the purpose, or iu its stead,
when the log or block cannot be obtuin
cn, an enormous lumps of coal is laid by
for the occasion and purpose. The same
custom prevails in certain sections of Vir
ginia and other Southern States the in
habitants of which are of English descent-
This wus notably the case in the rural
districts of Eastern Virginia during the
existence of sluvery. The preservation
of the block for the “back-log” of the
Christmas fire was a matter of no small
concern with plantation negroes; and
white boys and black extemporised
Christmas cannon of large, dry logs of
wood, drilling holes in, and charging
them* with gun powder, and exploding
by percussion or ignition. The first of
these Christmas gnus was usually fired
off at midnight of Christmas eve; and
from this time until morning, bud luck to
the man, woman or child in the vicinity
who could not sleep, even amid the noiße
of battle.
Hints to the Fair Hex.
A photographer gives the following di
rections to his customers: When a lady
silting for a picture would compose her
mouth to a bland and serene character,
she should, just before entering the room,
say “bosom,” and keep the expression
into which the mouth subsides until the
desired effect in the camera is evident.
If, on the other hand, she wishes to as
sume a distinguished nnd somewhat
noble bearing, not suggestive of sweet
ness, she should say “brush,” the result
of which is iufallible. If she wishes to
make her mouth look small she must say
“flipbut if the mouth be already too
small and needs enlarging she must sny
“cabbagc.” If she wishes to look mourn
ful she must say “kerchunk if resigned
she must forcibly ejaculate “s’cat.”
