The auctioneer had been proclaiming Slaley's reckless bid of thirteen twenty five, and tho crowd was eagerly taking in tho unusual sight of the two Put nam brothers in close conversation.

It makes papa awful proud, although he hates to show it. The thing is not so very big, but money couldn't buy it ; If any fellow thinks it could, I'd like to see him try it. It's half a dozen things at once a dove, a love, a flower; Mamma calls it a hundred names, and new ones every hour; It is a little music box, with tunes for every minute; You haven't got one at your house, and so you arc not in it. It puckers up its wee, wee mouth, as if it meant to whistle; A gold mine weighed against it then were lighter than a thistle; Papa said si the other night; I thought it sounded splendid, And said it to myself until I fell asleep and ended.

"There's no such thing as real Christ mas now," sigh elder folk, white and black, whose memories run back to the gay, good days of slaveiy. Then in truth, it was a two weeks' Saturnalia.

The pious among the slaves sang and Braved the night through. But their pietv did not take the form of a prohibi tion sentiment.
