Twos ths ere before Christmas; "Good night"
had been said.
And Annie and Willie bad crept Into 1d;
There vera team on tbtir pillow and tcart in
their eye,
And each little boaom was heavy with alpha
For to-night their stern father's command bad
been given,
Tint they shoalel retire precisely at seven,

Now we know there is, and it can't bo denied,
For he came every year before mamma died;

And perhaps bIio asked Him to fend Kanta

With the Back full of present he brought

'Well, why tan't wo p'ay dost as mamma aid,
then.
And ask Him to send him with present aden?"
"I've Ix-on thinking ao too." And without a

Tour little feat bounded out on the floor,
And lour little knees the solt caavot prisscel,
And tno tiny baud were clasped cIuho to each

"Now, Willie, you know, ne must llrmly be

You must wait just ah ftill till I aay tho 'amen,'
And by that you will know that jour turn ha

Scar Joans, look down upon my brother and
me.
And grant us the favors we aro asking of
Thee :
I want a wax doll, a tea-set and ring,
And an cb'iuy work-box that shuts with a

Blcsi papa, dear Jesus, and cause Jinn to see
That Hmita Claim loves us hotter than he ,
Don't let him get firtlul and angry again

On Sunday last, says the Drovers' Journal, of
Chicago, December 10, Mr. W. C. Mver, of
Aahland, Oregon, reached the Union Htock
Yard with two imported stallions, one three
and one four'year old; 'one more, ten years old,
bred In Ohio, but a full blooded l'erelieron; a
filly, one year old, lacking one-sixteenth of full
blood.
We have sever seen Xoer animal f the kind
than these were.
Mr. Myer's engaged ear for the special pn-
poae of transporting these animals over the line
of the Union Pacific Itilfroad and on Thursday
last the car left the Btoctr Yard for Keading,
California, with the horsev referred to.
Their transportation by rail will cost $100 and
after leaving the term in aa of the railroai they
will liave a considerable land journey to sake.
Wa have heretofore referred to the npid
manner In which these Freneb horses are being
introduced in all parts of tJe country. They
aio no donbt the best horses in the world for
heavy draught service and thirfact is getting-to
be generally known; they are sowerfully brdlt
anil all have a fast, easy walking gait for aab-
nials of their weight and size.
At the sales stables here at t&e Union Stock.

highest favor with parties wishing to bnjr
draught hones; tbes are very hard in constitu

capable of great endurance, and wo are cer
