IX THE MBBABY BI A COAL-FIRE.
BT GEO BOB 8. BURLEIOII.
When all the year's Imperial show
In bud and leaflets trunk Is furled,
And sullen winter's frost and show
Shut out the buzzing, work-day world,
We gather round a fiery core
Thai throbs with suns of long before:
The summers of primeval time
Give this bright nook their tropic clime,
Till the old ardors glow and flame
Through all our tingling hearts tbe same.
In vain the lances of the frost
".Invade tbe sun-god's genial reign;
The mltrallle of tbe storm Is tossed
Against tbe leaguered wall In vain;
For, deep and dark, the centuried glow
Was chilled In starless caves below:
At last In mellow air to bloom,
Through the solt twilight of our room,
Where, at oar altar, with wlerd runes,
December's solstice weds old June's.
So. darkly traced In silent books.
The tropic wisdom of tbe pant,
Tbe birds that sang like dancing brooks, 0
Or roared like forests In the blast.
Come from their dusky mines to pour
Their wealth for eager souls once more;
The fires of Homer, old and strong;
The morning red of Chaucer's song
Brave thoughts, and high, heroic dreams,
Shed on our souls their primal gleams.
The "Wizard of tbe North" returns,
Again his legend lore to tell;
We pluck the daisy bloom of Burns,
With sweet tears welcome "Little Nell,"
Borne by tbe lord of lyric prose
The deathless by tbe dead; and glows
Nn redder hearth seraphic fire
Than throbs In Barrett Browning's lyre;
For us the eldest graves are rent;
O'er us tbe Eden skies are bent 1
Men die; the granite hills decay;
Stars perish out or heaven, and gods
From mouldering altars fade away
To mark dissolving Deriods.
But great thoughts, from their silent tombs,
nurn, ana rexinaie tne aeaa Diooms
Of wintry worlds 1 In them we live ;
All else Is cold or fugitive;
By tbein we light the Inmost shrine,
And wait tbe coming year divine.
The Law's Injustice.
Looking over the tax rolls of this
county and city, for lS7o, 1 Hud tbe fol
io wing figures:
Total assessed value of all property
In this county $31,707,928
iouii amount assesseu to women in
this county,
. 1,881,150
Total assessed value of all property
In this city.
10,991,051
Total amount assessed to women In
Nn. of men In this county who pay
only a poll tax
913,101
1,115
The above amounts assessed to women
are only approximate, since a great deal
of property owned by women is taxed in
tile name of various male persons, such
as husbands, guardians, executors, etc.
Moreover, iu many instances, it is not
indicated on the tax roll whether prop
erty holders are mule or female, since
their names are Riven in initials only.
The real amount of property assessed to

'1 he Claim of suffrage for women is
viewed with distrust and aversion by
some people, and with indifference by
many more. They do not understand
why the question should be raised:
they do not see the good of It. What
practical and adequate principle is at
slake? To them, the matter seems at
war with the repose of .domestic life,
witii the ideal home and society. To
them, the agitation seems to lie merely
tbe restlessness of a class of unattractive
women who want to pull the skies down
upon us and precipitate doomsday at
once. IToni such a standpoint, resist-
a uce and distrust are natural. But this
Is really a wrong view of tiu matter.
.Most, excellent women are identified
with the movement women who love
their homes and keep them inviolate; nished the original and model of Dick
women who shrink from publicity and ens' descriptive manner, and mentions
s. :t ..I, - .i i- i -
uiavc n, an, lor a uear principle;
womeiv to whom the fine proprieties of
personal ana social nie are as dear as to
any in the world: women who. let me
say, are fighting a moral battle for great Christmas revival which came in Beaverton, Cedar Mill, Cornelius, Dliley.For
which they may be stigmatized now with the Chrislmas Carol, and all of a?eSrMountaiSefaGa." p'eakho"';

women will bless their memory as
surely as the present generation bless troduced Christmas to us. That is, he Amity, Bellevue, Carleton, Dayton, Lafay
the brave stand made by Luther of old, recalled and vividly reproduced the ette, McMinnville, North Yamhill, Sheridan,
or Garrison of late. Here, too, is being
represented the Historical experience ot
stoning the prophets and then building
their sepulchers.
From many tangible points, which
may be made in favor of Woman Suf-
frage, let us take this one involved in
the relations of property to government
a point inmcatea oy tne aoove ngures
in tne tax rolls oi uauJose. As stated
aoove, ine total assessment oi this city
is, in round uumoers, leu million aoi-
lara. Of this amount women are as-
aessed for about one-tenth of the whole,
Now, the practical question Is this:
Why are the nine millions politically
represented while the one million is not?
Why have tbe nine-tenths an active
participation in making the laws and
electing tbe officers who assess it, while
tbe one-tenth is wholly ignored?
Let us suppose that the owners of the
nine millions were approached with the
proposition to abandon their uolitical
rights and let a few men tax their prop-
erty as they should see tit. Would not
the proposal be rejected with indigna-
tion? They would emphasize the un-
reasonableness and strangeness pf the
juca. nu, mum peruieAes uie is iu uu-
derstand why the reasouine of the nine
millions Is uot precisely as good for the
one million; why the rights aud du-
ties oi tne latter are not Just as urgent

dodge the moral law, common sense,
and Republican principle. The usual
reply is that woman has a proxy in her
busband. But this is an awkward ex-
pianation. wnen she violates a law,
she, not her husband, is held respnnsi-
ble. And what shall be said of women
who have no husbands? What just rea-
son for withholding the guardianship of
ner own property irom a woman who
pays her own taxes? Has she not
equally with man every right, and by
the principle of our government every
Dolitical richt to a franchise which elects
officers and makes laws affecting her

It is plain that the property rights of
women are lis aanrpii na rnnqik nr mon
As quoted above, in the county of Santa
Clara are some fifteen hundred men
voters who pay no tax save a poll tax;
and yet there, with no property inter-
ests at stake, are indulged with a privi-
lege denied to women who are assessed
on three million dollars. How any
roan witn a spars 01 justice in nisnreast
can look upon this complacently, I do
not understand. It is a piece of inius-
tice no terms can describe. There are wise critics who think that

trary will or one person, or of a privii
ejgea lew, is tne law. sut our political
mlmiiilstration is avowedly based on the
rights of the Bov;ruet'. When, one
hundred years no, our forefathers re
bel leil against Kins George, it was in
behalf of the very principle which we
now inconsistently ueny to women, tin
taxed the Americans arbitrarily and
disrespected their protest. Such a course
wounded the sell-interest and the sense
of justice of the colonists. The rebel-
lion was an expression of outraged nat-
lural rights. We in these Centennial
days t.oast of that resistance; but do we
know that what we praise our ioretatu-
ers is the very thing we condemn in
some good women, who respectfully
claim a voice in making the laws which
trovern and tax them T Then a promi
nent motto was, "JNo taxation without
representation." That is an issue here.
Why should not women property-hold
ers feel the wrong of arbitrary taxation
now as Keenly and as justly as the fore'
fathers then ? Indeed, the case now is
greatly aecravaled. Then, the British
government made no pretensions as
lours does to a strictly representative
system; to a respect tor the "conseut oi
the governed." The Declaration or
Rights, which preceded the Declaration
of Independence, denied the right of any
sovereign power "to dispose of the life,
liberty or property without the consent
of the people." The Declaration of In-
dependence itself expressly asserts that
irovernments derive their iust nnwersl
from the consent or the governed, it
this be true, the principle legitimate!

personal protection, or of political Con-
sistency, gives it likewise to woman.
At least this much is clear: livery tax-
paying woman should either be enfran
chised or exempt from taxation.
Tins taxation oi women without al
lowing them any voice in the disposi
tion of such tax. is a wrontr whose cross

largely out of that fact. I knew an ex-
cellent woman in the East, who, while
her husband was living, had no word of
charity for tills suffrage agitation. Her
husband died leaving her with a large
estate. Now she managed her own af-
fairs and paid her own taxes. Tills new
experience enlarged her sense ot justice.
She now began to reel the keen personal
wrong which government was inflicting
on nerin tatcitig ner money aim ignor-
log herself; in assessing her estate anil
fnrbiddiujr her any voice In the expendi
ture of that assessment. When I talked
with her last, a revolution had taken
place iu her convictions. To stand at a
distance and criticise earnest women
asking simply that their rights might
be respected, was one thing to her; to
bear injustice In her own person had
proved iiuite another thing.

"But is old, old, good old Christmas
I none? Nothinir but the hair of hi;

Well, I will have that, seeing I cannot
have mure of him." These are the
words, quoted from "Hue and Cry after
Christmas," which Irving prefixes to
his papers upon the holiday in the
Sketch-book. Horace Binnay Wallace,
of Philadelphia, said, in his severe crit'
icistn upon Irvinir, that his works fur-

the same series also the nreludeof the
uiCKens aim inacKerays on nsimas
books? Certainly Irving In a sense In-
I spirit of heartiness, of universal hilarity
laud hospitality aud good feeling, which
are traditionally associated with the
old. old. uood old Christmas to which
lie appeals. Thackeray says that there
is no doubt Dickens' holiday stories
were tlie causeof an amaziutr convivial-
I lty aud good-fellowship, and Irviug's
sunny ana cneery description oi ine
Christmas games aud dinner and gen-
eral lestivity immensely quickeued the
observance or the day In this country.
When it was obiectmi that his lipscrin-
tion was antlouateil. and that his storv
lost probability because the customs
were obsolete, Irving replied that he had
seen almost evervthlnir that he had de-
scribed in the country on tbe skirts of
Derbyshire and Yorkshire, where he
passed the holidays of one of his years
iu England.
The Puritan element in this country
long held old Chrismas at bay. In VIr
leinia. however, and wherever -the es
tabllshment was paramount, there were
relics of the traditional day. But as the
Puritan rigor relaxed, and the national
influence of the ereat Irish and German
immigration began to be felt, a more
i lemai spirit was ueveiopeu, a more evi
dent fondness for pleasure and enlov
ment anneared. until now New York, at
least, observes the day not less than any
other or the great capitals of the world.

Now it is a great and universal holi
day, the happiest of the year. It is the
feast of brotherly love, which is the es-
seutial doctrine of the religion which it
commemorates. And what eating and
drinking! What immense good cheer!
That comes from our .Northern blood.
