For Before he set out on his midwinter trip, I Or made up h's pack or adjusted his "grip," 'Twas his fashion and practice thuswise to survey The people and realm over which -he held sway: Ilis favors requiring due discrimination, Each year he went through with this same operation Of listing and tabbing the good and the had And supplies estimating, that needs must be had.

S With a sigh at the distance he still had to go, He gazed down at Terra's faint twinkle be low; Then suddenly clapping his hand to his pocket, A spy-glass he drew, and he wrenched off the socket. And placing the instrument close to his eye, Gave Terra a thorough, all-over good spy; Then snapping the glass to, and just barely keeping His temper, said he: "Why, those rascals are peeping!" HSB lie pulled down his mask ere pursuing his route, And 'twas just at that moment the comet "went out." He tightened his girths aud sped ou till, full soon, He was quietly perched on, the rim of the. moon, Whence he took observations, his sentiments spoke, Ana slipp'd out. now and then, a quaint, old fashioned joke. Thus circling about In the moon's brilliant - glory, Old Santa himself tells the rest of the story. "It is just as I thought, and the p33p Tom are there; I wonder what is it impels them to stare: Whatever it is they don't seem to devine— I'm sure they'd be glad of this spyglass Of mine; But no matter!

With alarm I note that it is become more and more fashionable, says a Lon don correspondent, for brides to give j their bridesmaids presents. Once the bridegroom would as little have expected to escape the half-dozen gold bangles or initial brooches, which usually fall to the share ot the attend ant damsels, as he would have dreamt of failing to present the bride with her bouquet. But the young man of today has care fully weighed all "these expenses, and discouraged, as far as possible, the bevy • of maids with whom brides love to sur round themselves, and the latter some- i times find that if they are to go to the j altar with the regulation number of ' damsels in their train they must them selves provide the customary gifts. This is a bad sign. It is a very bad thing to encourage masculine meanness, and no generously-minaed bridegroom would attempt to shirk the shower of bangles or brooches. Ido not believe either that brides maids believe in or care for gifts from the bride half as much as if "they were presented by the happy benedict" The total abolition of bridesmaids will in evitably result, moreover, if the fashion grows. f SEE THE 1892 MODEL.
