Judge Gary Sustained.
The Supreme Court of this State
sastaiued Judg* Ernest Gary's
*/?*?*'. . - ^ j- _/ ll...' (Cl_"
.cisi?n that Magistrates "have
jurisdiclior," and auuounced that
?'the reasons therefor will be filed
later." Wo must confess that we
were in 1 he outset prejudiced
against Judge Gary's decision. But
afier reading his reasons we are
satisfied that they are sound, and
it may bo that the Supreme Judges
might not do better than adopt th?
earne, with a little elaboration, as
their own.
A Christmas Reminiscence.
As the closing days of the dying
? year glide swiftly by mid the fes
-tive joys oi! Xmas times, the jing
ling * toys the blazing fireworks
the shouting children, the beam
ing countenances of ihe older ones,
tell of the joyful advent of the
birthday of our Kiug. Oh bliss
ful season Oh happy hour when
the hearts of the young aud old,
blend iu th3 choral glory of a
woilfc jubilee. How sweet kind
rear/ "Nihen the Xmas fires are
" row, when the silent bouse
hold is roftly sleeping dreaming
perhaps, of the morrow, of Xmas
and of Santa Clause how sweet
as you gaze on the dying ambers
on the hearthstone, to fly on the
. wings of memory to the happy
days that were, to exist for awhile
in?dreamland, and to live again m
the scenes of tong ago.
21 years ago, I was a pupil of the
Georgia Institution for the blind.
The autumnal winds had died away
December's month had well ad
vanced. Already the sound of
horne, tho blaze of bonfires and
the explosion of firepoppers an
nounced the near approach of
Xmas, Eager were our anticipa
tions, subdued and many were our
mutual questionings.
Brightly dawned that Xmas Eve.
I So mild tho weather, you would al
most deem it spingtime. So blithe
the song of the birds, so genial the
merry sunbeams, But oh! the
odor o? fruits and sweetmeats
that filled the air. Wbar did it
mean? It wa3 said that Misses G.
and K. had gone down town. It
was whispered that they had actu
ally seen Ss.nta Claus. The day
was gone. The twilight had faded
. into night when the bell called us
topcyer. Ch?ery were the words of
Principal that night. Santa
1 would leave narc?ls
h. W. affectionately v*r6?mt?Bed us
to rest.
I was told that in the past the
aonse was roused on Xmas morn
by the merry song of the girls as
they marched through the chapel
^and corridors. On this occasion
^?^f^as to be different. It was
agreed by the members of our or
chestra, that we would rise early,
and as ike girls commenced their
song. andvmarch we* would aston -
ish them by blasting forth the stir
ing strains of,,"Josephine polk
er." Yes, they were to meet with a
great surprise. But did they? O
woman, even in the days of thy
childhood, how hard it is to out
wit theo.
I said that on the night of Xmas
eve, our principal after prayer dis
missed us to bed. The bustle of re
tiring over, in peace the house
was silent my roommates softly
sleeping. Vainly I closed my wak
ing eyes, oblivious slumber was
to me denied. In meditations sweet
I wandered back through tho cen
turies gone. I thought on the star
of Bethlehem, that led those east
ern sages to the cradle of the in
fant blest. It seemed that the
scales had fallen from my sight
less orbs, end through the cloak of j
darkness, I beheld the light. Oh
star of Bethlehem, star of hope im
mortal, lull many a weary traveler
hast thou'et guided home, Pilgrims
many and tired bast, thou bidder
rest. Shine on thou glorious star,
shina on til! all the millions from
their guilt redeemed, bow the ki.ee
in worship to the Saviour born.
Through Fancy's eye, I saw the
distant plain. The blazing watch
fires and the sleeping flecks. Thi>
peaceful shepnerds meekly stand
ing by perhaps with heavy hearts,
conversing of a Cation's WOBS. I
heard with fancy's voice the angel
choir, with barp and song to praise
attuned, the first Xmas carrol oi.
the BLores cf ?imo, "peaceon earth,
to men good will. Glory to God iii
the highest." Thus musing, I whiled
the time away, till lost in eweei
forgetfulness I slept.
Longer? tho morning star h;
course had run. our slumbers end
ed by the call of Burkes, each rog'
in haste, and in haste his instru
ment grasped, and like pale spet
tres, dark and flitting, softly t<
the chapel stole. There on th
stage, the orchestra its position
took and stood like guardian sen
tinelit of the night, on the ran.
parts of some fort besieged. Scare
one short hour had passed, when
bark, at tho door a sudden crash.
The beating drum, the jingling
tambourine the merry shouting o
the girls, all told of our secrel
known. As suddenly our orches
tra blasted, but right onward came
(he girls through the chapel,
round and r?uqd tho corridors,
theywondedtheir triumphal way;' ]
