With a message of peace to the nations, ring

Bringing joy to the souls that are sighing in

There is life there is life lor he dying in tbe

Far off in a land that is lovely for the tender,

In the light of a glorious morning rang the

And still in the heart of creation au anthem

At that memory sweet of the ringing of the

They rang o'er the hills and the valleys, they

From regions of night to the radiant light of

And forever and ever and ever a wonderful

In the tender, sweet ringing and singing of

Independent and reliable The Oregon-
? WHEAT. . ;"
Monday's Oregonian says:
The movement of wheat from
this port for the week was up
pretty close to the record ship,
moots made during the remarkable
month of December,-;1897, but as
these heavy shipments were to a
considerable extent due to the non
anival of tonnage last month, they
nave no direct beating on. the pres
ent situation, so far as buying and
selling is concerned. There was
undoubtedly a large amount of
high-priced wheat sold early in
the week. By "high-priced wheat
is meant wheat which brought 55
cents and even more per bushel,
and a strange coincidence, the high
est prices for wheat were paid on
the day that cargoes sold at Liiver-
pool at the lowest price of tbe
week, for; while 55 cents was boing
reely paid for Walla Walla, at
least two cargoes sold for 28 6d,
and on Friday, with wheat back
to 54 cents locally a cargo sold at
28s 9d. The actual value of the
cereal based on existing freight
rates is about 53 to 54 cents. For
the first time in many weeks,, it
was possible to ascertain the exact
value of a spot ship, the Blairhoyle,
which missed her cancelling date,
being recbartered at 42s 6d, while
the Bame rate was paid for a ship
about due on Puget Sound.
There were a number of factors
in the mar feet during toe past
week which were sufficiently un-
avorable to prevent much, im
provement in the Eastern markets.
rhe Argentina crop reports do not
brighten very much, but the fact
that that big country keeps on
shipping at a fairly good rate
makes tbe trade suspicious of. some
of the reporta of damage that are
in circulation. The decrease in
the American visible was of pretty
fair proportions on Monday, but
so long sb the visible figures per
sist in remaining in excess of 60,
000,000 bushels the sentimental
effect on the market is of consider
able importance and strength is
not lasting.

GIFT-GIVING.
The charity which gives away
only what it does not care to keep
is of a poor sort. - And yet it ; is
foolish to conclude . that because a
thing has do value to us, it is use
less to others. The toy you used
to play with would look as beauti
ful in the eyes of some child as it
did in yours a few years ago. That
outgrown winter coat should be
warming some chilled little boy,
instead of being , reserved ..tot
mcths. The little pictures and
knick-knacks which have outlived
their day as far as your home is
concerned, and are packed away,
might brighten and beautify some
other home which has little in the
way of adornment
. One of the beauties of the Christ
mastide is that its giving has no
sting. - Charity loses that shade of
meaning which has made it almost
an unpleasant , word, and is only
another name for love. The sen
sitive pride of that poor widow,
who would almost rather starve
than take a cent of what she calls
"charity," will not be wounded by
a ton of coal or a turkey on Christ
mas day. She will sot be hurt if
somebody gives her little daughter
a half-worn coat, or a pair of shoes,
or some toys that have made one
child happy without reaching the
limit of their usefulness. On
Christmas day more than on , any
day : of the year, people should
realize that they are brothers and
sisters, and the false pride so un
fitting' between children of one
Father be quite forgotten.
, THE TREE.
3 Christmas trees were used to
place gifts upon as early as 1632.
France adopted the Christmas
about; 1840, and Prince Albert in
troduced it into England the first
Christmas after his marriage. The
Queen still keeps up this custom,
having a tree for her, own gifts,
one for her children and grand
children, and one for the house
hold. Since then the custom has
become world-wide. The "tree of
candles" is of more ancient date.
There is an old French romance of
the thirteenth century in which
tbe hero sees a tree whose branches
from top to bottom are covered
with burning candles, while on the
top is the figure of a child shining
with a still greater radiance. This
tree symbolized humanity the up
per lights being the sonls of the
good, those below of the wicked,
while the child represented Christ.
The poetic idea of the Christmas
tree as a symbol of tbe renewed
life of nature, which begins with
the lengthening of the days, comes
from Germany. From the Norse
mythology comes the suggestion of
the Christmas tree as typical of
the new-born sun in that it was
bedecked with . lights, and was an
emblem of spring on account of its
rich green. Probably the Norse
mythology was the origin of the
"tree of candles" more than of the
present Christmas tree. , On the
introduction . of Christianity the
Ohristmas tree, although not
known then by that name, became
the type of Christ.
WEALTH OP WA-WA.
, Sam Phillips and Rev. Mr. Mc-
ntosh are having a red-hot contro
versy in the Weston Leader. The
atter is being Bbown up for cruelly
beating a horse. In the last letter
Phillips says:
Mr. Mcintosh says that I would
balk tbe Christian race if it was in
my power. I will say that there
is one thing I do hate, and that is
hypocrite; a wolt in sheep s
clothing; a man who professes to
be something be is not We have
just such a man on Dry creek.
"Mcintosh says 1 bad better

three months in the year. 1 think
if he would send those lunatics of
his to the reform school for at
tenet three years they would have
sense enough to pass along the
public road . without blackguard
ing people; and would not throw
the neighbors'; sails pver into the
lane; nor roll stile blocks down tbe
hill; nor untie people's horses and
turn them out of the stable.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
Boston, Dec. 15. There is some
improvement to be noted in the
wool market although prices can.
not as yet be quoted higher. The
demand has increased somewhat
and the business has been more
diversified. The sales are more
generally distributed in the trade,
and the number of manufacturers
who have been buying is larger,
but they are operating very care
fully. Manufacturers are talking
hopefully in several instances and
feel encouraged as to the outlook
for the heavy-weight season. The
colder weather ' has aoted as a
stimulus and this has been accen
tuated by the .tenor of advices
from abroad, where tops have ad
vanced 1 a per pound and wool
markets are generally firmer.
The sales of tbe week in lioston
amounted to 3,845,800 pounds do-
mestio and db7,000 pounds foreign,
making a total of 4,212,800 against
a total of 3,517,500 for the previous
week and a total of 6,664,000 for
the corresponding week last year.
The Bales since Jan. 1 amount to
140,671,300 pounds, against 341,-
467,776 pounds for the correspond
ing time last year.

OLD
SANTA.
There is always a certain pathos
in thinking how little it takes to
make a child happy and how care
less we are of it Ai painted toy,
a handful of sweets, a gay pioture
book, and you have given him, the
material out of which to construct
a . world of delights. In such a
little while we pass ; beyond all
that. , Our toys cease to please us.
Our doll is stuffed with sawdust.
The disillusioning , comes Boon
enough, even to the most fortun
ate, and those . who . would rob
childhood of one Sweet dream, or -darken
its sunshine with a single
doubt, are wicked iconoclasts. In
a way all beautiful tales are true,
and no child ever got any , barm
from believing in the gracious
myth of the jolly old saint, whose
sweet mission in the world is to
watch over little children and
bring them happiness.
MOTHER'S JOURNEY.
There is a hint in the following
incident of the way in which chil
dren may be trained so as not to
regard death as the king of terrors:
That mgbt, before they went to
bed. they were allowed to go in
and kiss their mother good-night
This privilege had been denied
them lately, and their hearts re
sponded with joy to tbe invitation.
Mamma was better, or she could
not see them. The doctor , bad
cured her. They would love bint
or it all their lives! She was very
pale, but smiling, and her first
words to them were: "I am going
on a journey.'
"A jouineyr", cried the children.
"Will you take us with you?''
"No; it is a loog, long journey.'
"Mamma is going to the South,"
said Katy; "the doctor has ordered
her to. Sbe will get well in the
orange groves of Florida."
"I am going to a far distant
country, more beautiful than ever
the lovely Boutn," said tbe mother
faintly, "and I will not come back."
"Are vou going alone, mamma r
asked Katy.
"No, said the mother, In a low,
sweet voice, "I am not going alone.
My physician goes with me. . Kiss
me good-bye, my dear ones, for in
the morning before you are awake
I shall be gone. You will come
to me when you are made ready,
but each must make the journey
alone."
In the morning she was gone.
When tbe children awoke their
father told them of the beautiful
country at which mother had safely
arrived while she slept.
"How did she go? Who came
for her?" they asked, amid their
tears.
"Tbe chariot of Israel and .the
horsmen thereof," the father told
them, solemnly.
People wonder at the peace and
happiness expressed in the faces of
these motherless children. When
aHked about tbeir mother they say,
