And the master, at the table’s head. Stood up tn speak the blessing word Which should hallow the supper to the I .ord; Rut. ere. he had uttered -a word of prayer, A twitter of protest filled the air. A twitter? A hundred at the least. Krom guests uninvited to the feast! •p to the stoop high roof they rush— ' arrow and robin, flinch and thrush, .’awing old erows, sententious rooks. And glossy blackbirds, with strange, wise looks; i lure they sot, on the high roof-place. And tin it noisy protests drowned the grace. Then tiie master checked the unuttered And said. •‘My friends, they are right, these birds; they have helped us fill the harvest train, For their tens of thousands -h** have slain yt flies that sting, and slugs that spoil. And worms that burrow beneath the soil, they have labored with us the summer through. And ’tis meet that they feast when their masters do. Go. choose me a wheat-sheaf tall and brave. And fasten it to an oaken stave; This on the gable you shall place Before I utter a word of grace. Then, the Lord’s birds satisfied ami fed, Wc may sit at ease and eat His bread; For He g-ivelh His gifts to the great and small.

I'htre war never a. truer statement than -omeonc. lias made in regard to scolding, that it ‘kills love; it kills respect; ft kills happiness; it destroys beauty, and 1: dct-iroys homes. ’’ Every one who has given this subject a thought must idmit the above statem- nt. It has been ■ mipared to a snak-—and one would not willingly admit a snake into their home .hat ‘ would bite viciously, insidiously ami venomously’ the ones you loved best in the world. That is what scolding is like-just what it does.” Hid you -ver ob-eive th. difference in ili'jien who are constantly scolded and those govi-rr-ed by kindness.

There is always a fascination attached to a beautifully decorated store window, and especially at Christmas times. Yes terday as I slowly wended my way along the crowded streets 1 was entertained by looking in the store windows. It is strange how oar wants multiply under such eiic'imstanccs. First. I came to the window of a largo crockery store. There were displayed beautiful cases and out glass and bric-a-brac of every kind. Also sets of china, decorated beautifully— all having a. hundred pieces to the set. and ranging in price from fifteen to six dollars. Such offers are dear to the housekeeper's heart and very apt to make her as the little one expressed it. "crai k the tenth commandment.” The next win dow had such a crowd around it that it was hard to oven get a peep, but by b'-ing 1 itie.nt I at last succeeded. It takes very little to amuse a crowd, for in this window was only toys, and a lit tle boy was working one of these me chanical toys that yon wind up and it runs all around; great grown men were enjoying watching it. Now here is the window of « bakery. My! don't It make you hungry to sbe those piles of nice pies and cakes? Fruit cake, pound cake, pulls and all sorts of small cakes; bit we must not linger too long here—there lis so mu h to see. Next is a jeweler s i store, and my. wiiat a gorgeous window, 1 Silver and gold ami diamonds that sparkle I until your eyes hurt you. Don’t cost I anything to stop and look at them, but | there don’t seem to be any “eager, anxo is ' crowd” going In to buy them. Here is ; a window lull of flue shoes, both for grown folks and children, and next to J it on? with fine furs -some that cost two | or three hundred dollars and others as I low as fifty dollars; only very rich, sash -1 lonable ladles linger here [ What is this we see? Loo-ks like a I poultry’ yard; a lot of little turkeys with | heads down as if they were picking up 1 corn. We have to look some time be t fore we discover they are boxes for I c indy- you lift up a wing and there you | see the turkey is hollow and filled with ■ candy. Then there are boxes made 10 I look like real hand satchels that are i filled with candy. All sorts of nice candy I in tlilr. window. ' Wh.tt pleases me more than all the I rest is to watch the dear children as 1 they .-top nt the toy windows. There I are any number of them, tilled with all I sorts of toys. An immense Santa Claus ! stands in one loaded down with pretty I things; in another is a circular revolv ! Ing figure and on ft dolls animals, teams and everything that can delight the In-.irt of a child. To stand fit one of these, windows and hear the children 'express their delight is pleasure enough. One little child came up and said. "Oh. my! ain't they pretty?” Others ar. so overcome with d'light they have no words to express it, and stand 1 and gaze in silent admiration. I The host part of it .ill is. this pleasure ; is shared by rich and pour—the child in 1 velvet and ! . -e .-lands by the little one ■ in rags. witi. a shawl ov» r her head; a: d I the little, darky pushes f II to get a ! ‘glimpse into fairyland.

Sermons such as Dr. Bradley’s go straight to men’s business ami b -soms. They have the rate quality of intellec tual and moral saneness. They are healthy and human. Unconventional, from tiie homiletic standpoint, they may >T pear to some lectures rather than <dd fa.-Tii'med discourses, but, for that very reason, more attractive to the general reader. Occasionally one may discover, perhaps, tiie man of science unconscious | ly elbowing the theologian out of ven i viable tradition and •- -eleslastlcal prec'-- I dent, but nowhere, as it seems to tit'.-, is l tli'.-r? any break with substantial and en i during orthodoxy.
