The first to come was "No. 231" mite chest in hand; he say a: Dear Aunt Beckie: Christmas eve is hero. The mite box yields $916 bnt (adding a little thereto) inclosed plea&e find nine dollars and fifty cents as a Christmas offering for "The Atkinson Cot." These days being with tbemlh the business world increased work, the. hands and brain are on a strain. We gladly close our ledger, lock our safe, and start for .home, for what! Only to work in another direction. The Sunday school Christmas trees must be jessed, the attendance on church to-morrow, the poor and needv must be helpedthe encouring word spoken, and jiyoaa good wishes for all man kind. May each Meenger rejoice Tor the Ctiriatmts of 1883. Oar tym Iathv is with you. Sincerely If you ar) as faithful and devoted in every duty as yotfare in keeping faith with the Cot, my dear sir, yours must be a very busy life, and I have the Divine warrant for believing that you are equally truetotall. "He that is faithf al in that which is least, is faithful in all.'' I hope the Christmas was a happy one to yon. Thanks for Your sympathy. It has been an anx ious and heartsick time to us, but I am thankful to say that mv brother is steadily, though slowly recovering from his terrible injuries. vNext on the list was my nameless friend from Wilwington. 'Ddar Miss Cameron: Enclosed please find 25 cents for the Cot. Your friend. - " As 1 told you my good friend, the 25s. grows into dollars after a while, and I would rather get the small gums oltner, than to wait several months for a dollar. x The frequent givings en courage ,;mo, and others too. So never let pride stand in anybody's way and keep back the shillings, nickels and qua ter?, "all is grist that comes to my mill." " Thenext letter I have standing orders not to put in print. So I can only say thank you to. both" mamma and the bonny maiden, who are both Such goad friends to the Cot The next offering was a thank of fering for my brother's life having been spared in the late murderous, and wholly unprovoked assault that was made upon him by one of his negro tobacco bands. I am not al lowed to connect his sister's name with it, however. I Then this tireless No. 281 comes again. He is as good as a calendar to me, for every Tuesday morning brings a letter from him. "Dear Aunt Beekie: One dollar for the Cot. Sincere wishes for your health and happiness for the year 1890. Yours, Thank you very much. You will certainly have part in making my Cot year a htffcpy one, for you are the soul of faithf al giving. The memorial for the little Joseph . 1 .1 comes next ana ms moiner savs Itnougn 1 am doc suresne meant me to print it) "I am grieved that the .con tributions stand so far apart. (Twenty five years ago this Christmv-, little Joseph was enrolled as Christ's faith ful soldier and signed with the cross in token theieof. He rendered his little life in the first battle,, and I would the many twenty-five years that past us wirejstrewed with good deeds in mem ory of "his brief lite here, and in 'thankfulness for his blessed release from sin, and sorrow in the life be low.7 j "She hath done what she could," and I do not think you need desire to do more. There is other service be sides giving that yon do. I am sorry you have had to stayjanxious about my brother Marshall so long, but I could not possibly write, and the Messenger letter I wrote Christmas night was not printed in last Sunday's payer. Next to come was dear little Will Remy Kerr. " He says; Dear Aunt Becky: Enclosed please find 10c, my monthly offering-to the Cot, and also 25c as a Christmas of fering. Again I must beg your for giveness tor being half month late, but my birthday was just at the time that mammy should have sent my offering and she neglected it. Wishing you and the Cot a happy and prosperous new year, I am lovingly yours:? Ah, Will, you always tell on ' your sslf. I did not know that you were a little late. Pray ' who could expect mamma to remember anything but your birthday? 1 Yon' are by, far the most important part of all creation to her. I hope you will be very well and therefore very happy in ,'this new year. One of the "Busy Bee" hire sends 'this: .. i'.-.: . "Dear Aunt Beckie; Mamma ad vif ed me to adopt the plan of Messen ger "No. 231" and put my bank at. the left, side of the clock, and see how many pennies I could get by Christ mas. Bat we decided not to send them till the first of the year. 80 piease accept the mile. 46c, a my new year' offering to the Cot- Year I affection atelv, imitators. Yon and Margaret Joyner are the only children who have re ported yourselves as following it. I am always glad to hen from yon. little Mary, yonr mother and yours V have alwivs been gcol friends to the Cot. and therefore to me. Tne last letter came from those two eood to count-on boy. Gastin and Tom, who sy. "Dsar Aunt Beckie: Wd will try to collect soiiie m re mney for yon be fore wa seod this. We hope yon had a merry Christma?, njid wishY you a happy new year. With love." As there wa? 55 cents in tho letter, I nappo'e yoar attempt to couec. some was eoccsfnl, thank you very much for your good wishes. If my letter written Christmas night (Wednesday being my cot letter night always) had been printed, you would have seen that 1 certainly did not haye a merry time. I hope though that ail my chil "drea and their families aid friends were happy and j yful, and .that the New year will be a happy one fcto all. The end of the month reminds "me to giva an abstract of what ha j been done in it. Kight enlistments were all we had. 1 think, we need a recruiting ser gant very much in every parish in the diocese. The contributions were $30 2i which is a very good showing, and I wish it was the average. Lovinglv. Aunt Beckie. All contributions for the Bishop At kinson Memorial Cot, St. John's Hos pital, Raleigh, North Carolina, should be sent to Miss Rebecca Cameron, care Dr. WilliamCameron, Hillsboro, N. C. Don t send stamps! .(A Pastor's Reception. The good people of Friendship, (near Warsaw Duplin county) at a new year's day service January 1st, gave their pastor Rev. W. A. Forbes, a very hearty reception upon his re turn to them the third year, and at the close of a very interesting ser vice, tendered to him a very hand some pounding consisting of valuable articles too numerous to mention here, there was one colored boy who wished to take a hand; he was per mitted, and Willis Parker's name was found written on a small pack age which contained a coin for the preacher; the pastor was informed that this variety of substantial and fancy articles, were donated as a token.of the inexpressible love and high esteem, in which he was held by the donors; though but a partial ex pression of their appreciation of his services. On returning home the next . day the inhabitants of the parsonage of course were placed for a time in bet ter circumstances; a surprised yet happy family. At 7 o'clock that night a rap at the Jront door was re sponded to by the preacher; upon opening, to his astonishment the people of the town of . Kenansville have turned out for some purpose; the porch is full of people; they were led by a young lawyer, and the reg ister of deeds of Duplii county,who, in behalf of the ladies and gentle men present, made their business f known and asked access to the din- mg.room, pantry, etc. The oids be ing too great, of course there was no opposition. In a short while every thing was explained except the Pas tor's appreciation for these exhibi tions of love and esteem. The dona tions from each place consisted of a number of hams, sugar, coffee, flour, lard, rice, butter, eggs, poultry, can ned fruits?, soap, soda, potatoes, veg etables, cEewmg tobacco, some fancy articles, etc. The preacher tried to express his appreciation, but suc ce ded only partially. But ne has survired the whole affair, is living a happier man, and determined, by God's grace, to love and serve God and his people better in . the future than in the past. m 'My love, what magic upell is thrown, Upon your face 7 Its charm I own. w nance c Thy rosT . u A V U lence came thv nurn an 1 nariir tootv Thy rosy lips?

A well-known society girl had a queer experienpe with a midnight marauder not long since, says the San Francisco Examiner. She was awakened at about 2 o'clock in the morning by a noise in her room. She is a plucky little thing, so she sat up and said: "Who's there?" No answer. 44 Who's there?" she demanded again. Silence was the only reply. "Why don't you speak?" she cried, nervously. "I ain't got anything to say, " came in meek tones from the would-be thief, as he hurriedly slid out of the door. A Syllable Slip. Dr. Carpenter was noted for the quick ness of his wit, and it was a common saying in the. town in which he lived that he always had an answer when it was re quired. He was once introduced as Dr. Carter. Immediately his friend saw his error and corrected himself. "Never mind, " said the doctor: "It's only a slip of the pen.
