OLD PETER’S CHRISTMAS. BI MBS. M. A. KIDDER. "Oh, what shall I do?" questioned Peter, the tramp, "My stomach is empty, mv garment’ are damp; Mv ol heart is h av. ith sorrow and woe; I’ve no one co care so me, no where to go. Far up In the st epie the merry bells chime— They tell all the world Tis the a -eet Christmas time; The old Iks and vonag folks n harmonv m et. But what is the Chrisuna- time, pray, to old Pete? My last friends went down in the treacherous Mv sou and my daughter, so dear unto me; My r ch- s took wing’, aye, mv silver and gold. And left me a wanderer out in the cold ” Old Peter trudged on through the snow and ths sleet, The fr- z n '.<>rs dTopiffna ’ike ‘ ail nt bis feet, Whde wintry wind?* lilted his ir>n-gray hair. And bo cawiftiy irpw .rd iis half n< ure 1 prayer: "bear God. iriv me shelte to-night, if no crust; Fur bread on the morrow Thy bounty 1 11 trust. Ilatk! List to that sweet, welcome music so near! The lowing of cattle breaks soft on his ear; A bam. with its aener us door just ajar, Poor Pet .r de-cries by the 1 ght of a star. Th? farmer within -nging snatches of cheer—- " The Cbrtotmas is coming! the Christinas is near!" “Yes, come in, and welcome, old man, take your rest,* The farmer replied to poor Peter’s reqnest. "God honor■» your couch, so forget not to pray; The bun oi Man once made His bed in the hay." Old Peter slept sound, and of bright angels dreamed. Till the sweot Christmas morn on his restingplace iMjamed; Then wo c with a start, for an angel was near— A sweet little cherub, with eyes blue and clear. She laughed till the tears gemmed her sweet baby face; She ci ied: “aho is here in this musty old place? In burning for eggs for the pudding to-day I've found me a grandpa asleep in the hay." Old Peter looked up, and the red blush of shame Crept rp to his forehead in patches of flame — "I’m only a beggarly tramp, as you see." "And /," said the cherub, “am Bonnebel Lee. You've interduced you. and I've interduced me " "Lee! Lee " Said old Peter; “oh, tell me. I pray, Your father's firs, name!" “Papa's coming thia way; He’s b ought yon a roll and a cup of hot tea. The-el tell my new grandpapa, sir, who you be." "Isaac! Isaac! My son! Ah! I know by your iac-!" And the two men were locked in a loving embrace The sun icred had met on the manger's low bed. For . oe--.ii had cast up the living, not dead. The sweet little prophetess, fair Bonnebel. How h ppy she wa- never m rtal cou d tell; She always declared that her grandpa was born A very oid uwtn, on a sweet Chr.stmas morn. The Widow’s Surprise. A Chtistinaa Story. A California mining town, away up am d the snow-clad, rock-bonnd peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The town was irregu ariy laid out, and was sea tered along a creek which emptied into the Cosumnes river several miles below. Both the dwellings and business houses—or, more properly speaking, cabins—were constructed of unhewn pine logs, tue crevices between the timbers being “chinked” and plastered with mud. The town contained at leas' a dozen saloons, or saloons and {Tumblin.--houses combined, and in these hells much of the hard-earned money of the m ner parted company w ith uim, to take up its temporary abode in the saloon till or the pocket of the profession I gambler. The dwellings of the town were scattered along the creek or built on the side of the m intain, the majority of them being rough “bachelor dens " for women were scares in the newly discovered d gg'»gs. In a small cabin in the upper end of the own sat a woman in widow’s weeds, holding upon her knee a bright-eyed sunny-faced little sir. about 5 years old, while a little cherub of a boy lay noon a bearsk n, before the open fire-pl.ice. It was Christmas eve, and the woman sat gaz ng abstractedly into tt e fire. She was yet young, and as the glowing flames lit up her sad face they invested it with weird beauty. Mary Stewart wasthew-idow of Aleck Stewart, and but two years before had lived comfortably and happy in a c mp on the American river. Aleck was a brawny miner, but the premature explosion of » blast in an underground tunnel had blotted out his life in an instant, leaving his family without a p o- . tector, and iq straitened circumstances. His d .ily wages had been their sole support, and, now that he was gone, what could they do? With her little family Mrs. Stewart had emigrated to the camp in which we find them (all Western mining towns are called camps), and there she earned a precarious livelihood by washing clothes for the miners. Hers was a hard lot, but the biave little woman toiled on, cheered by the thought that her daily labors stood between her darling little ones and the gaunt wolf of starvation. Their clothes were patched and ahabbv, tu»d their food plain, and sometimes scant, yet they were never reduced to absolute suffering. Jack Dawson, a strong, honest miner, was passing the cabin this Christmas eve, when the voice of the little girl within attracted his attention. Jack I possessed an inordina e love for children, and. although his manly spirit would abhor the sneaking practice of eavesdropping, he could not resist the temptation to steal up to the wind >w just a moment to listen to the sweet, prattling voice. The first words he can lit were: “Before papa died we always had Chr’wmas, didn’t we minima?” ’’Yes, Tottv darling, but papa earned money enough to make his little pets happy at least Once a year. You must remember, Totty, that we are very poor, and, although mamma works very, very hard, she can scarcely earn enough to support us with food and I clothes.” Little bright-faced Benny raised its | curly head from its soft nest in the warm bear-skin and cheerfully said : “Des’ wait till J dit to be a man, marnma. an* ’oo won’t have to wort. I’se doin' to be a dreat bid miner, ’ike papa was. an’ dit 'oo ever so much money, | but T won't do near 'em hateful blastin’ fines and dit tilled, 'ike papa did.” Jack Dawson still lingered mon the out ide. lie could not le ve, although he Mt ashamed of himself for listening. “Why, bless my little man, what a brave future be has planned! I do hope and pray, darling, that you wilt grow up a strong and a good man. and one who will be a blessing and a comfort to mamma when she _ ets old." “We hnng up our stockings last Christmas, didn’t we. mamma?” “Yes, Tottv, but we were poor then, and Santa Claus never notices real poor people. He gave you a little candy then, just because you were such good children.” “Is we any poorer now, mamma?” “Oh, yes, much poorer. He would never notice us at all. now.” Jack Dawson detected a tremor of Badness in the widow’s voice as she uttered th» last words, and be wiped a susp cious dampness from his eyes. “Where's our clean stockings, mammi? I’m going to hang mine up anvhow; maybe he will come like he did before, just because we try to be good children," said Totty. “It will be no use, darling. I am enrn ho will no’ com •,” and t ars gathered in the mother’s eyes as she thought of her empty purse. ”1 don’t care—l’m going to try anyhow. Please get one of my stackings, mamma," pleaded the little g rl. “Your clean stockings are on the line outside, and I cannot go ont and hunt for them this bitter cold night. You mar hang up your old ones; but, oh! darling, I fear you will be so terribly disappointed in the morning. P! -isa let it go till next Christinas, and then we may be richer." “No, x&ai&ais, I'a go«ag to try anyhow.

Ja< k Dawson’s creat generous heart swelled until it seemed breaking from hi ■ bosom. He heard the patter of little b ire feet on the cabin floor as Totty j ran about hunting hers and Benny’s stockings, and, after she had hung them up. heard her sweet voice again as she wondered over and over if Santa Claus really would forget them. He he ird the mother, in a choking voice, tell her treasures to get ready for bed; heard them lisp their childish prayers, the little girl concluding: “And. oh Lord, please tell good Santa Claus that we are very poor, but that we love him as much as rich children do, for dear Jesus’ sake. Amen!” After they were in bed, through a small rent in the plain white curtain, ha saw the widow sitting before the fire, her face buried in her hands ami weepi ing bitterly. On a peg, just over the fire-place, hung two little patched and faded stocking-, and then he could stand it no longer. He softly moved away f’ 0111 the window to the rear of the cabin, where some objects fluttering to the wind met his eyes. Among these he searAed until he found a little blue stocking which he removed from th* line, folded tenderly, and placed in his overcoat pocket, and then set out for the main street of the camp. He entered Harry Hawk’s gambling hell, th largest in the place, where a host of miners and gamblers were at play. Jack was well Known in the camp. and. when he got upon a chair and called for attention, the hum of voices and the clicking of ivory checks suddenly ceased. Then, in an earnest i voice, he told whit he had seen and I heard, repeating every word of the conversation between the mother and her | children. In conclusion he said: “Boys I think I know you, every one | of yoti, and I know what kind of metal I yer made of. I’ve an idee that Santy I Claus knows jist whir that cabin’s sitii wated, an’ I’ve an idee that he'll find it I afore mornin’. Hyar’s one of the little gal’s stockings thet I hooked off'n the i line where I heered the widder say she'd ; hung 'em up with the washin'. The d iddy o’ them little ’uns was a good, ha <l-workin’ miner, an’ he crossed the range in the line o’ duty, just as any of j us is liable to do in our dangerous I bus'ness. Hyar goes a S2O gold piece ' right down in the toe, an’ hyar I lay tins stockin’ on this card-table—now chip in much or little, as ye kin afford.” “Hold them chec s of mine on the ace-j ck,” said Brocky Clark, a gambler. and, leaving the faro table, he i picked the little stocking up carefully, j looked at it tenderly, and when he had laid it down another twenty had gone into the toe to keep company with the one placed there by Dawson. Another and another c.ime up, until the foot of the stocking was well filled, [ and then came the cry from the gambling tables: “Pass her round, Jack.” At the word he 1 f ed it from the table and started around the hall. Before he had circulated it at half a dozen tables it showed signs of bursting beI neath the weight of gold and silver I coin, and a strong coin bag, such as is i >i-ed for sending treasure by express, | | was procured, and the stocking placed i I inside of it. The round of the large hall was made, and in the meantime the story had spread all over the camp. , F om various saloons came messengers s ying; “Send the stockin’ ’round the camp; ( the boys are waitin'for it.” With a partv at his heels Jack went from saloon to saloon. Games ceased, I and tipplers left the bars as thev entered each place, and miners, gamblers, speculators, everybody, crowded up to tender their Christmas gift to the miner's widow and orphans. Any one who has lived in the far Western camps and is acquainted with the generosity of i Western men. will feel no surprise or donbt my truthfulness when I say that i after the round had been made the I little blue stocking and heavy canvas bag contained over SB,OOO in gold and silver coin. Horses were procured and a party ' dispatched to a large town down on the Cosumnes, from which they returned i near daybreak with toys, clothing, pro- , visions, etc., in almost endless variety. Arranging their gifts in proper shape, ‘ and securely tying the mouth of the I bag ol coin, the party noiselessly repaired to the widow’s humble cabin. The bag was first laid on the step, and the other articles piled up in a heap over it. On the step was laid the lid I of a large pasteboard box, on which I was written with a piece of charcoal: “Santy Claus doesn’t always Give poor fo.ks The shake in this camp.” * • • * • * Christmas morning dawned bright and beautiful. The night had been a I stinging cold one, and when the rising , sun peeped over the chain of mountains I to the east, and shot its beams upon | the western range, the sparkling frost I flashed from the snow-clad peaks as though their towering heads were sprinkled with pure diamonds. Mrs. Stewart ar se, and a shade of pain crossed her handsome face, as the empty stock rigs caught her I maternal eye. Siie cast a hurried glance toward the bed where her darl.ngs lay sleeping, and whispered: “Oh, God! how dreadful is poverty.” j She built a glowi: gfire, and set about preparing the frugal breakfast. When ' it was almost ready she approached the bed, ki- < d the little ones until they were wide awake, and lifted them to the floor. With eager haste Totty ran to the stockings, only to turn away, sobbing as though her heart would break. Tears blinded the m ther, and, clasping her little girl to her heart, she said in a choking voice: “Never mind, my darling; next Christmas I am sure mamma will be richer, and then Santa Claus will bring us lots of nice things.” “Oh! Mamma!” The exclamation came from little Benny, who had opened the door and ! was standing gazing in amazement upon I 1 the wealth of gifts there displayed. Mrs. Stewart sprang to his side and looked in speechless astonishment. She read the card, and then, causing her I I little ones to kneel with her in the open j door-way, she poured out her soul in a torrent of praise and thanksgiving to God. The family arose from their knees : and began to move the stores into the cabin. There were several sacks of j I flour, hams, canned fruits, pounds and pounds of coffee, tea and sugar, new . dress good', and a handsome warm i woolen shawl for the widow, shoes, ! stockings, hats, mittens and clothing i for the children, a great big wax doll ' that could cry and move its eyes, for Totty, and a beautiful red sled for Ben- j ny. All were carried inside, amid alternate laughs and tears. “Bring in the sack of salt. Tottv, and I that is all," said the mother. “Is not I God good to us ?” “1 can't lift it, mamma; it’s froze to the step.” The mother stooped and took hold of I it and lifted harder and harder, until she iai.-ed it in from the step. Her cheek blanched as she noted its great weight, and she carried it in and laid it u on the breakfast-table. She untied the bag and emptied the contents of it j upon the table. Gold and silver—more I th in she had ever thought of in her : wiliest dreams of comfort, and almo t bnried in tl>« pile of treasure lay Totty's little blue stocking. We will not intrude longer upon such aappuie**, but Ibbvw the joyful (tally

sounding praise to heaven—and Santa Claus. The whole story soon reached Mrs. Stewart’s ears. She knew Jac, Dawson bv sight, and when she next met him, although the honest fellow tried hard to push by her, she caught hold of his coat and compelled him to stand and listen to her tearful thanks. The tears shed were not ail hers, for when Jai'k moved away 'here were drops of liquid crystal hanging to his ruddy cheeks. Four months front that “Mei lie Christmas” Mrs. Stewart became Mrs. Jack Dawson, and every evening, when the hardy miner returns from his daily labor to his comfortable and happy home, Totty and Benny will climb upon his strong knees, and almost smother him with kisses, wl ile tiny lovingly addres - him as “Our Santa Claus papa.” POULTRY ITEMS. Secure the roost from depredation. Rules must be observed as well as read. Do not breed your fowls in-and-in till you spoil the stock. Provide a few heads of cabbage for your fowls in winter. Sever in sm ill detached houses are preferable to one large one. Now is the time that breeders go about to “see what they can find.” Above all, see that the hen-houses I are clean and always well ventilated. Provide dust baths in the sun, where thev w ill be dry, made of road dust • mixed with a little carbolic powder. There is no way of securing perfect j cleanline'ti so effectually as by remov- ' ing the poultry buildings to a fresh spot of ground. i None of the Asiatic fowls mature early. Brahmas, esjieeially, do not arl rive at full size till a year old. They I increase in weight by the acumulation of internal fat for several years after ' that. Permit us again to urge all breeders of poultry, who wish healthy fowls, to t be liberal in supplying their fowls with i charcoal. It is one of the best prei ventives of disease among fowls that can be named. To throw meal dough, mashed potatoes or any moist feed upon the ground, | or upon a board, where the feet of the ' sow ls can trample it, is not economical, i Enough is saved by the use of a feed | trough to pay for it in a little while. There is no live stock on the farm that needs warmer quarters than hens. Have the hen-house so arranged that the hens may have a well-lighted room for protection during the very cold and stormy days. Keep the floor covered with fresh dirt. In whitewashing the interior of a poultry-house do not leave a spot even as large as the head of a pin untouched i anywhere. Splash the whitewash liberally into every nook and corner, crack and crevice. If the hennery has a floor of cement, stone, brick or boards, whitewash that also. Farmers and poulterers at the present day have none of the old-time difficulties to contend with that ia former ; years were current in forwaiding their . surplus stock to a good market. Such are the railroad and express facilities nowadays that but little time is lost in | transit even to a distant market, and the cost for transportation (in bulk) is but trifling on freight trains, in almost any direction. See that your poultry-houses have perfect ventilation, as it will soon be time to confine your fowls from the frigidity of winter. No matter howlimited may be the number of birds thus confined, a poisonous gas will quickly form, and, if there le no i chance for it to escape freely, sickness I or death soon ensues to the inmates | that are compelled to breathe the foul i air. In cold weather, d iring the midI die of each day, the fowl-house should j be thoroughly ventilated. There is on many f irms a quantity • of milk which, after it is skimmed, is , I of no further use, and is often thrown ‘ away. Attempts are sometimes made ( to utilize it by feeding it to the cow; but the propriety of such a course is questionable, even if “M<x>ly” can be I persuaded to “repeat herself” in that way. Sometimes a pig is bought tw consume the surplus lacteal fluid; bir I the care of the shoat involves a good deal of unpleasant abor. and additional food must be provided to k-'ep him in ' growing condition. Meanwhile, the hens are suffering for a taste of tha i milk as drink or food, when curded. Fowls are as profitable as any other stock the farmer can keep, nd mo: e so. I provided he pays to them the same attention, and is as much interested in them, as in his other stock. In a majority of cases fowls are merely kept on I : the farm because they cannot well be dispensed with, and not because the I faimer wishes to reap any profit there ! from. As a general thing you will find that poultry on farms bel< ng to no : special breed.but that they are a mixedup mess. Unless the farmer keeps birds that come of a good stock, and feeds them regularly, he cannot expect any profits. Farming. It seems to us the future of farming has never looked so prosperous as at present. Agriculturis's are realizin r more freely every day the fact that theirs is the foundation rock of all prosperity, and that they are the mediums, j or motive power, that runs and sus'ains all industries. Learning and acknowledging the fact is a long step toward improvement, and when they come freely to recognize the necessity of education and the assistance this will give them, a marked change cm l>e looked for in the financial and social condition of the farming community. It is not enough tlmt we know how to plow a straight furrow, or swing a scythe or cradle, there mnst be a general change 1 of social life and intellectual culture, a ! broadening and expanding of mind, a better knowledge by reading, study and social contact; not so much living alone I with the plow and the hoe handles as I principal company, but seeking contact ' more with the world. The welfare of ' this country is in the hands of the farm j ers, if they knew it; its commercial as ; well as political management might be subject to their will, if they would only country will be unprecedented. There are all sorts of rnmois of railroads tc ; be built across that country, but it ap- ; pears pretty well settled that the l Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Company will extend their line from AberI deen to Pierre, through the center of Faulk and Sullv counties, the coming : season. If so, Pierre will have such a i boom as no city in the Territory has yet enjoyed. At any rate, with its water communication, and as the key to I the Black Hills and the great Sioux I country soon to be opened up to settlers, Pierre, in my opinion, is destined to be the metropolis of Dakota—the Kansas City of the new Northwest. Were I to make trial of any person’s qualifications for a union of so much delicacy, there is no part of his conduct I would sooner single ont than to observe him in his resentments. And this j not upon the maxim frequently ad- ■ vanced, “that the best friends make ' the bitterest enemies," but on the conI trary, because I am p«rsuaded that he who is capable of ':>eiu a ’utter enemy can never possess the uecesTii-v virtue* | that constitute a true fiieau.—.Ve.'ntoth.
