There ere thoee ptrobanoe who will
sey there ie not a syllable left to be
uld kboat the Id, old holiday which
t* rang In this morning, that haa not
been said and tang and rhymed and
“wiehed" before. The enn lean old

will teal. If Mi morning my ebould
come Into tba boaae to* day, that there
ie anything old-fashioned about that ?
The precious oeoret of Christmas le
that It Is ae fresh and new every year
as the sun Is every day. There Is no
reason to suppose that the festival
will ever fall while seedtime and har
dest last. The etc 's of all thiu good
Intent are planted pretty late some
years, but no bcan*sta!k of fable ever
grew faster, once set. Yet tho mar
vel remains that the C rUtrnas feel
ings are in tco many oases what boat
ing men would oil “a spurt.” They
are strong,^rd warm aDd trur; and
In no better oauee did men and wo
men ever wear ou: shoe leather thau
In this untiring quest; these many
-days put in the street, for some token
for remembrance — something that
will speak from each to eaob, of hew
really lovable, indispensable and
worthy to be loved and remembered
are all these folks—from humblest
to highest. The more helpless they,
the sur r you of ycur feeling.
And yet must it be said again that
a [art of the Christmas glow ie often
but a "flzs” of fliewoiks; and that Ie
just the very personal part between
those held together in the nearest
the. Why can it not always be bo
«esy to feel at peace and in go d will
with yoor friends u you do (his
morning? H >w very good they are—
come to think o(. it—how they have
•laved these w eks put to give you
this pleuure. It is like a brand new
world Inde d, into wbloh you rise
out of your bed, with soft words
and happy looks everywhere
All ie consideration, thought
fulness; the note of in
jury or carping has quite gone out of
the volost; tbe frowu or the sneer
qulokly smoothed from the face. I:
would not De lespectebie to be frown
ing, and sneering ana fretting over
tne whole of Christmas day, or any
part cf it, so notody will begin. And
It is not acting. They all feel con*
vi need that the true solvent for cares
and hot temper has been found la
the gracious werds that go round;
mot mere Itpservice, either, for every
body means It, and means it well It
Is almost a pl'y that there Is not
* new and similar salutation for
•very day in tbe year—could
we but live up to our “blue
china” of speeoh and no
ernaeh it on the tbreshboid of the
d.*y’a affairs. F <r to day, at least,
the pledges of these gree iugs will not
be broken, though pie-crutu and seals
and wrappings and toys will be. Per
haps it is too high a strain t<> k - pup
all the year, such thougmfuluess tor
clhers, this i.hliteratiou of self; uch
ovtrfl w of good will, this Iruniug
aauruuce that all ihe rest are well

easily last year the lips returned to
their old habit, tha tones to their
customary strain, the sharpness to
the retort 1 Yet there are men and
women who live always In this
healthful atmosphere; whom to meet
ts perpetual good chesr; who speud
themselves lu the daily bestowal of
eympathy, and who ar inexhaus

tbe danger of losing Bulgarian syra-

A-lde from the touching contrasts
which Christmas places moat palpa
hly before the senses the great mass
of human belDgs who live and eat
turkey in oiviliied oountrie, and an-
ehrer to oateohlsms aod worship one
ever-living God, the Christmas pe
riod furnishes a sultlable as well as
a beautiful ocoaalon for reviewing our
pset actions. It Isa splendid oppor
tunity for overlooking tbs oonduot
of onr friends, neighbors and ene
mies in a not nnobarltsble spirit of
serious, refl otlve criticism It .Is
impossible to be very harsh of heart
as we sit before the glowing Christ
mas firs and morallsa be
neath tbe happy shadows
of the fl tuning Christmas tree. Tbe
seasonable cold without and tbe com.
for able warmth within, joined to
that blessed spiritual communion
that makes the whole world kin for
a day at hast, impress the hardest
natures, and light a d chasten mill
ona of fBccs that are not wont to be
kind or genial. Albeit most of us are
given togusblog at Christ mas, le us
hope and believe that tbe gush 1b
honest, end, be It never so transitory,
that it will eunly come again next
Christmas, and all our lives, as regu
larly as the twenty-fitb of December.
Bo, we may be pround of it ae of an
beir.loom in the family, which we
array Just onoe In a year.
None of us in truth, no, not the
best of us, can lock back and be very
proud of all that we have said and
done tbe last twelvemonth; the little
peccadillos and the large neglects-
whlch apickle and spot tbe blotter of
our lives; tbe unworthy tbonghts
and baMy words we cannot forget,
but would give worlds to reoall; the
petty sins and weaknesses to which
human affections and earthly vani
ties are expoeed. But, bless God, we
may each of as promise to amend,
•nd if the performance go not a foot’s
length beyond, we are, at any rate,
none the worse for It.
We often bear It said that senti
ment Is nothing more than a species
>t maudlin selML'.tery. Be this ss
it may. here is a blessing to Christo
mas and to all who enjoy it and cele
brate It in tbe spirit of tbe geotle,
kindly and peaceful teachings of
Cbrlet! Bless it for what it is and
for what It briDgs to us! Bless It as
a poem and bless it ss s rea lty ! Bless
it for its many-coloted, happy sug
gestions, for Its olden associations,
for tbe dear, tbe loved, the chasten
ing. and the softening memories
which it summons out of a world
that is by gone only for a season, and
will come again as ie 'alnly and as
blessedly ss this blessed sea
son, its spiritual avaut coar.e 1
Through tbe glow which rpresds
over our Inner life aa we look out
upon the day and the objects It dis
closes; as we look into ways that
have been; as we look into laces that
were; as we see hands stretched :o
u from shadowy depths, and ft el
strong gresps ot love at d tendertx tg
mitt our owu, and kisses, pure »> d
trusting, full upon our lip-, tho tears
may cime Inditd ai d blind us.

youths of indulgence in the use of

diff rent to the physical welfare of
the children. The tx'cnt lo which
the practice is now carried has be
come really a'orming It ie not an
uncommon thing to see boys from
four or five years of age pa
rading tbe site a with a
lighted olgarette in their mou'h,
and pv de illy feeling as much elated
as though they were engaged in do
ing something specially meritorious
and worthy. So muoh has been said
and wrl'ten in regard to lhe perni
cious effects of this habit that it
seems almost superfluous to add a
single word, but tbe bad babit 1b
spreading in every direction, snd as
boys are not supposed to be very good

One of the sweetest of Chris'mas
customs come to us from Germs y,
and it will be long before suoh a cele-
bra'lon will become obsolete. Tbis
Is tbe Christmas tree, with its blos
soms of light and tta fruit of toya and
Jewels and loving gifts. Tbs wonder
is tbst we do not welooms tie 'e st
In every home with this radiant re
minder tbst Ibis day is not os other
days. There ta not a obild who does
not thrill with Joy at tie wondrous
sight, and tbe preparation of tbe tree
is a great happiness to tbe older folk
who love tbe children and try to
make them happy.
Let the poor deluded wretches who
are degraded pas' all hope of cure,
represent, the blbulouB part of tbe
‘•good old customs,” if they will; hut
for the sake of all that is pure ai d
blight and happy and good in tbe
suggestions of the te,son, let sensible
people ebun ail excees and be bappy
as only rational beings cao. Then
tbe day will have its sweetest mean
ing to eve y heart, with no aftercome
of misery, and with an unclouded
spirit each array cry to eaoh‘‘A Merry
Chrisimat!"
D n't make Christmas gifts simply
because it is lashi enable to do bo N >
right minded person will thiDk an
other for a holiday present unless as
sured that the presentation wue made
a token of regard. And don’t
value a gift merely because of Its
money cost. That Is J the h west of
all es 1 mates that oould be put upon
It. T.ke the motives of tbe giver
into the aooount, and if they are
f und to be of the right kind cherish
tbe gift, even though its worth be
but a penny.
