Time rolled on, and a fortune rolled. In. Children grew up around thein, and they all became affluent. One, a member of parliament, in a public place declared -that his success -came from that'prayer of his mother in' the dooryard. All of them were affluent. Four thousand hands in the factories. They built dwelling° houses for laborers at cheap rates, and where they were invalid and could not pay they had the houses for nothing'. One of these sons • came. to this country, admired our parks, went back, bought land, opened a great public park and made it a present to the city of Halifax, Engliind.

The Christtnas Stocking.

And at my cries Of glad surprise The others all came flocking, To share my glee And view with me The contents of the stocking. Years sped—I left each well -loved scene In Northern wilde to rosin, And there, 'mid tossing pine trees green, I made myself a home, We numbered three And blithe were we, At adverse fortune mocking, And Christmastide By our fireside .

GOTHAM'S Nothing In the Old World to Match the Charm of the City., RARE BEAUTIES. , I do not think that as a class New York- ers have taken a just pride in their city in the past, and I am sure they have thereby lost something well worth having, Per- haps in a measure this failure can be jaid at the door of the official corruption that has disgraced it; perhaps in even a larger gorse the failure is to blame for the cor- ruption. .Let that pass. I have seen some of the world's great cities, some of thein famed for their beautya'and this I know— that I have come back each time more im- pressed with the conviction that there is none of them that can compare with New York in point of natural advantages. and real attractiveness.

Their social -position, like that of the line,and other branches, is based on a com- mission in the United States navy, and beyond that is precisely what each indivi- dual makes for himself. They enter the navy for certain duties, and they bear titles which indicate those duties.
