wog sailing throwth storna and strife For the harbor of nevermore' "Man's but a vapor Full of woes lie cute a caper And down he goes" The reporter asked the friend of the tramp how she could afford to feed every tramp that comes along for by this time the tramp was sitting at a table on the porch with a bowl of soup steaming before him while two large slices of bread lay beside the bowl "Oh it don't cost much" said the lady "to keep a pot of bean soup boiling on the stove and you can buy three loaves stale bread for a dime The tramps got to bothering me so and I hated to turn them away cold

country by the Dutch settlers of New York his dominion has been in until to-day his votaries are to be found in every settlemenL Each year the believers in Pante Claus become more numerous and the faith with which 'nearly every little child that has learned to thipk asks to have its little ertocking hung up by the fire place is an example of that belief in things immortal by which the world is saved "Little things on little wings Bear little souls to Heaven" wrote the poet and though the intelligence of people 'in the nineteenth century is far alead of that in which St Nicholas was cannonized the unimpeached faith of little children in Santa Claus is great as it ever was and the good saint's dominion is a far more extensive one to-day than it was a year ago and in the same ratio it is greater in this country proportionally to what it was when the good natured subjects of Goy Yon Tromp drank their schnapps and ate their oysters over the burning yule log telling some of the weird stories that Washington Irving has since made immortal Although Knecht Rupert with his high buskins white robe and long flaxen hair did not go from house tohouse in this city crackers were fired guns discharged and tin horns were blown until the most unsentimental person in the city was aware that Christmas was at hand Meeting the Buzzard Orator on Cherry street yesterday morning a reporter of the American asked him what 'Christmas was Mr Cockrell refilled that it was a season of the year when everybody bought tin horns and fire crackers and made as big fools ot themselves as they possibly contd "Has it no other significance?" asked the scribe of the orator "Not since the war" replied Cockrell "Before the war de niggers used to git presents from de white folkes but dat is played out pow De white people spend all their nyney on their own children" "What is your definition of Christmam Mr Cockrell?" asked the scribe of the reputed orator "It is a lime" replied the orator "when people who have money goes around buying everything they can to make poor people feel paean" HARP'S CHRIBTMAS Mrs Harp got her Christmas and was very thankful for it Her husband who left her several nights ago because she taunted him for being drunk returned lasts night and told his wife he really had meant to leave her and his little girl but Christmas Eve finding him in Louisville with all of the country people rushing back and forth with bundles for their little ones be thought of his little girl too who used to lead him around and peas the cup for pennies for him after he had played a tune on his fiddle 1 Without knowing exactly what he was doing his heart was so full John Harp went into a toy store and bought a beautiful doll After he had bought it the blind fiddler tried to gel the toy merchant to take it back but that be would not do He then took the doll and commenced wandering about the city in a listless manner and finally arrived at the Louisville di Nash-villa depot Before he was well aware of it he was award the south-Pound train counting Out his fare in silver to the conductor There was a happy scene at 229 North Summer street last night when Harp presented his little girl with the beautiful doll and both his wife and himself pledged each other over a sup of egg nog that it should be their Very last "nip 1VEN THE TRAMPS were remembered he
