Dr. Talmage frames Christmas and New Year as holy days and urges three holiday chapters: the illustrious birthday of Jesus, a season of annual decadence to guard against excess, and a chronological introduction foretelling 1893. He extols Christ’s birth over all historical figures and calls for faith and cheerful family observance.

Useful Dump Cart Made From Old Wagon Parts
A broad-tired hay wagon and a two-horse dump-cart were built by sawing off wagon spokes and adding four inch tires costing about six dollars. Tires fasten with wood screws, no felloes, and are bolted with ends bent back for tension. Low front wheels stay usable by removing one coupling pin.
