Also, for a quantity of cakes and schnitzbrod. . —The exercises attending the distribution of the presents on the Christmas tree at the Christian church, on Monday evening, was a complete success. 'The tree was loaded down with articles of every description. At the Methodist church a concert was given by the members of the Sunday school, Both churches were crowded, the music was fine, and everything passed off pleasantly. It was a credit not only $o the churches but to those who were instrumental in getting up the affairs. . G —A contributor to the columns of the Crawfordsville Journal raises a point that should be better understood than is generally the case. He says: “We do not wish to appear hypererit--Ical but the word “temperance” strictly construed is not the correct one to use as it is usually applied. Itisdefined by Webster to mean “moderation; particularly, habitual moderation in regard to the indulgence of the natural appetites; restrained or moderate indulgences; as, temperance in eating and drinking. Temperance in eating and drinking and other indulgences to excess.” Under this definition all the “moderate drinkers” can justly claim to be temperance men. A more proper term to use would be “total abstinence.” And this is in accordance 'with the Murphy pledge.” il e Communicated, . : ; -Christmas Reunion. The members of the family of Mr. & Mus. J. C. Johnson, of Perry township; met at the residence of the *Squire,” two miles south of Ligonier, for the double purpose of enjoying the society of the whole} family for a short time, and to partake of the festivities of the Christmas tree. The family Christmas tree was heavily laden with appropriate gifts for ‘each member, and all enjoyed the meeting ‘beneath the parental roof; and will remémber it with pleasure through life.. = : - As all pleasures of life must cease sooner or later, so with this meeting; and the sons, daughters, grand-sons and grand-daughters, at the close of the meeting thought, surely, there is no place like the old, old home,

THE POOR BOY’S CHRISTMAS EVE. . BY WILL S, HAYS, T “Mamma, why don’t you smile to-night, For this is Christmas eve? This is the time for joy and mirth, And not a Llime to grieve. . Hang up your stockings; come; be glad; Put mine beside it. too; ’ If old Christ-Kindel don’t fill mine. He may lill yours for you.” ] “For me, my child; ah, no, not me; ' ‘The wolf is at our door. : Christ-Kindel only knows the rich, * And we are very poor.” . : At that the poor mother bowed her heart With woe and grief oppressed. She kissed her boy and folded him Still closer to her breast.

*‘'Well,” said the child, mamma, don’t weep; I know we want for bread S And other things which we would have If papa was not dead. ; It is 80 cold ; see how it snows, ‘Mamma. your face and ears. ; Are jnst as cold as ice—don’t cry: ! The rich don’t care for tears!”

The musical convention at theßroadway Chapel,:which closed on the evening of the 21st, was certainly a grand affair. The attendance was larger than it ever was at any previous session, and consisted of the leading musical talent of the county. Among the local vocal teachers and choristers in attendance we noticed more especially Mr. John Hontz, of Cromwell, who.is an old experienced teacher, and his' presence added.much life and enthusiasm to the convention. Also Mr. James Wilson, of Salem Chapel, and Mr. Wm. Knappe, of Broadway, both of whom are choristers of more than ordinary ability., The lady instrumental teachers in attendance were Miss Emma Reed and Miss Rosa Maggart, of Cromwell, and Miss Rebecca Wilson, of Salem. The leading bass in attendance were Mr. Jasper Ohlwine and Mr. James Bouse. In the & selection of Trof. J. F. Kinsey for di.reetor of the convention, we feel safe in making the assertion that no better choice could have been made, as he seemed to infuse more life and spirit in the class than ever before.— This being the fourth time he has been called to conduct the annual con- ’ vention at this place, Mr. Kinsey can certainly feel proud of the position he ‘has attained as a convention director. The concert passed off pleasantly on Friday evening, the 21st, with a good attendance,” considering the almost ‘impassable condition of the roads.— Prof. A. C. Miller, of Locke, Elkhart county, was present and pronounced it a grand affair.’ Eld. Thomas Whitman made a few appropriate remarks’ for the occasion, all of which seemed to be appreciated by an attentive audienée, after which the teacher and pupils parted with a reluctant good bye, but with the happy anticipation of meeting again in convention one ‘year hence. At the close of the Broadway Musical Convention on December 21st, 1877, the following resolutions were read and adopted: ! Resolved —That we, the members of this 'association, tender our heartfelt thanks to Prof. J. F. Kinsey for the able manner in which he l'(\as conducted this convention. / " Resolved—That we recommend him as one of our most able and efficient convention conductors. ey

WHAT 1T COoSTS.—Qh, ‘it is a small thing after all, only 10 cents a drink, says many adrinkingman. Well,let’s see; you take three drinks a day—then 30 cents a day is $109.50 a year. This is the interest on $1,564 at 7 per cent. simple interest. This 30 cents a day will amount in ten years to $l,171.95. All this is wasted. A family of five persons will consume 4 barrels of flour, Good flour at $7 per barrel will be $2B; 30 cents a day for drinks then ($109.50) is $81.50 more than the bread for afamily of five for one year. Perhaps you take but two drinks. Then you pay $7B a year; only $45 more than will pay for the bread of a family of five. This will pay for your -sugar and coffee.

The protracted meeting at Pleasant Grove is still in progress. The great cure for hog cholera was as great a swindle as thatof the Western Gun Works of Chicago. But there have not been so many swindled by the former as in the latter. Suffice it to say that both have seen their best days, and if not they should be sent to States prison for life. However,there are more than one of them. The firm of the Western Gun Works has been sold out under a chattel mortgage and is now called the Excelsior Gun Works, and are prepared to cheat and swindle, as much as under the old firm.
