S~ A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.
NCE upca a time long,
, : long ago, when the
| &5 wonderful things told
AR of in legends hap
% 5 pened, the smiling
= ecountry of Avignon
i‘_ e in France was not as
- beautiful as it is' now.
=% < No white cottages and
green vineyards adorned the hillside. l
Only a shepherd’s hut was to be secen. '
Here lived Eudes, his wife and two |
children.
One cold, stormy Christmas night,
as Eudes was plodding homeward
after sheltering his flock, he was a
prey to the most melancholy reflec
tions. He thought of his hard lot,
his poverty, and felt that the future
held nothing in store for him. As|
he neared his home the north wind |
redoubled its fury, and he heard the!
chimes of the nearest church ringing
out through the frosty air.
“Christmas chimes!” he thought.
“Christmas is for happy and rich peo
ple, not for poor shepherds like me.”
His dark humor did not escape the
notice of his wife when he entered
his lowly hut. She sent the children
to amuse him, and soon saw him
smile as he listened to their prattle.
As the evening wore on the storml
increased, but seated before the fire
blazing in the chimney, Eudes forgot;|
his discontent, happy at being shel
tered from the raging tempest. When
the family were about to sit down to
their evening meal they heard a loud
knock, and a voice outside cried: ™ =
- “Open the door, my good man, for
the love of the living God, whose
birth we celebrate this night!”’
. “Who are you?” asked Eudes.
! “I am an old man who has traveled
many a weary mile in this terrible
cold. lam at the end of my strength
and can go no further. Open the
door, if thou hast any kindness in thy |
heart!” ‘
Now, Eudes had a great deal of
kindness in his heart, so he opened
the door at once. On the threshold
stood a stately old man, beautiful to
‘behold, with luxuriant white beard
and clear, blue eyes. There was
nothing sordid in his dress. He car
ried a heavy cane, upon which he
leaned with dignity and grace. l
| “Welcome, old man,” said the
shepherd, cordially.
“I thank thee, my son. My bless
ings be upon thy house.” The vis-‘
itor spoke slowly, and his voice was
like soothing musie. |
“May I ask you to share our frugal
meal?” asked Eudes. :
“I thank thee again. Thy repast
will be indeed welcome, and on listen
ing to thy words of welcome my heart
1s already cheered.”
Going up to the cradle where the
children were sleeping, he paused,
and contemplated them. “The
cherubs! How peacefully they sleep,
and how sweet their dreams must
be! On this Christmas night visions
of the Child Jesus doubtless smile
apon them.”
Eudes and his wife felt themselves
‘moved in a mysterious way as they
‘listened to the sweet voice:
“Long ago the Redeemer was born
in a far-away land, where the air is

light and pure, and where lilies grow
‘on the mountainside. The skies were
not overcast on that night, and the
‘stars sang together.”
Soon after they sat down to the
humble meal. The guest praised the
‘order and cleanliness which he saw
everywhere. On hearing this Budes
began to lament because of his pov
-erty and his laborious life. He spoke
“of his discouragement and failure,
A Christmas Litany
By ALICE CRARY.
Oh Christ, thé true and living Vine,
As Christmas garlands we entwine,
Adorn for us each heart’s true shrine s
We pray Thee, Holy Jesu.
Oh Christ, of all this world the Light,
As Christmas tapers we ignite,
Shine on our lives and make them bright;
We pray Thee, Holy Jesu.
Ch Christ, the heavens were arift
When Thou didst come, the Father’s Gift,
Through Christmas tokens souls uplift;
We pray Thee, Holy Jesu.
Oh Christ, threugh every path the Way,
Thy Cross shines through the Star to-day,
Lead on until the perfect day;
We pray Thee, Holy Jesn.

anc referred to the future with utter
hopelessness.
Butt he old man consoled him. He
spoke of the charm of a life so full of
liberty.
“The shepherd, dreaming on the
mountainside, is not an unfortunate
being,” he said. “Think of those who
are pent up in palaces. It is in these
splendid abodes that people die of
weariness and disease. Those whom
thy imagination pictures as nowerful
and happy are often infinitely un
happy and unfortunate.”
As he spoke his head was sur
rounded by an aureole, and 'a light
emanated from his entire person. He
continued: i
“Happy the humble man who, like
thee, Eudes, walks peacefully along
the pathway of life. I have wandered
far over this world, and have seen
many strange things. I have lived
in splendid palaces of marble and in

the cottages of the poor, and I have
found the greatest happiness under
humble roofs.”
As he ceased speaking the room
was suddenly flooded with light. The
poor shepherds recognized their di
vine guest and prostrated themselves
in prayer.
“Have no fear,” said the guest.
“l am He who brings peace to all.
Live in happiness and contentment,
and thy children shall bring thee joy.
I will take envy out of thy heart;
also, the desire for what thou canst!
not have. And I will adorn thy land
with flowers and frults, so that thou
shalt praise My name every day.”
Eudes and his wife were speechless |
with awe, and when they recovered
themselves their divine guest had
vanished. s {
* They never forgot His words, how- |
ever, and contentment and peace
reigned ever after under their lowly
roof. They never forgot that the lot
of the humble had been called blessed
by the Lord on that stormy Christmas
night.
The legend runs that the land of
Avignon blossomed like the rose ev
ery year after that eventful night.—

Hora Christi.
I, Mary, trembling wait
The hour so soon to be;
I shall have played so high a part
In His nativity.
Oh, wonderful, thrice wonderful,
My God hath been to me!
For this mine ho.ur of pain,
The travail I must know,
| There shall be gladness through the years;
And where my tears shall flow
The bloom of Loeve shall burst in flower,
For God hath told me so.
' How gladiy shall I bear
{ All sorrow for His sake!
iI only tremble lest with love
Mine eager heart should break,
| For He shall rest within mine arms
Ere the white dawn shall wake!
—Charles Hanson Towne, in Christmas
Number, Lippincott’s Magazine,
CHRISTMAS CHIMES FROM MANY CLIMES
e e e iy . ‘s
Christmas is always a season of
good wishes and loving kindness.
In America almost all children
hang up their stockings on Christmas
eve, to be filled by kind old Santa
Claus. In Germany they make more
of Christmas than we do in Ameri
ca. Everywhere the Christmas-tree
is used. i
If .a family is too poor to have a
whole tree, a single branch only will
stand in a conspicuous place, hung
with the few simple gifts. :
A week before Christmas St. Nich
olas visits the children, to find out
who have been good enough to re
ceive the gifts the Christ-child will
bring them on Christmas eve.
It is a very usual thing to see on a
German Christmas-tree, way up in
the very topmost branch, an image
or doll representing the Christ-child,
while below are sometimes placed
other images representing angels
with outspread wings.
After the tree is lighted the family
gather round it, ana sing a Christmas
hymn. §
In France may be almost univers--
ally seen representations of the man
ger in which Christ- was born, with

figures of Mary, Joseph and the
child Jesus, and cattle feeding near
by. Often these representations are
decorated with flowers, and lighted
candles burn softly.before them.
In Norway the people have a de
lightful custom of putting on the
roof of the barn, or on a pole in the
vard, a large sheaf of wheat for the
birds, who fully appreciate their
Christmas feast.
In England almost every one who
can do so has a family party on
Christmas eve. Young and old join
in the games, many of which belong
especially to Christmas time.
From the ceiling of one of the
rooms a large bunch of mistletoe is
hung. If any little maid is caught
standing wunder it the one who
catches her hag a right to take a kiss
from her rosy lips.
In Holland the little Dutch girl
puts her wooden shoe in the chim
ney-place ready for gifts, just as the
little American girl hangs up her
stocking. -
And so in some way all over the
Christian world on the eve of the
twenty-fifth day of December the
virth of our Lord Jesus Christ is cel
ebrated. Everywhere the Christmas
chimes are ringing out the message
the angels brought to Bethlehem—
“ Peace on earth, good-will to men.”
