A Christmas Prayer, The Christmas bells are ringing; the holly berries gleam in the soft waxen lights of the dim cathedral and a wo man kneels before the fair white altar alone. ’Tie the hour before the mid night mass; the vast cathedral will be thronged, so now she has come—alone, before they begin to assemble, to wor ship and to suplicate in silence. As she lifts her face, we might think an angel had written there peace and joy. The pure brow, the faint sweet smile, the tender curve of the lips all reveal the womanly soul within. For whom are her prayers ascend floating upward with the incense be fore the altar? He is far away from her at the. holy Christmas-tide, but he is not forgotten and the angels will surely hear and bless him where'er he may wander. For years she has not seen him and though he never knew, she has loved him. She has been too proud to tell him so after that hasty note, the last she had ever written him. z Now when all ie]“peace on earth” the pride of years has broken down, and her prayer is for him alone. All around are emblems of Christ’s birth, the holly and ivy twined everywhere and over there the Baby in the man ger is lying with tall waxen tapers on either side. She rises and her light footsteps echo down (he aisle as she passes out the great door. —There in the shadow of the tower, the stars looking down upon her she sees a figure, advance as though to enter the cathedral. She stops—is it he? It can not be surely; the bells ring out and he raises his head to listen. They meet face to face after years have rolled away and in a moment her hand is tightly clasped between his strong brown ones. The bells have ceased to ring—but not the joy-bells in their hearts for they are ringing still. Josephine Coulter.
