chfistmas Day has come and gone

Christmas day has come aud gone,
bringing with ii bIissfuI, hallowed,
neyer-to be-forgotton scenes, with its
merry-making, its glad surprises,
and many kindly influences. Moth
ing is more lovely than the giftgiv-
ing which custom has made specially
appropriate to the holiday period
Affection never seems SO lovely as
when il seizes especial occasions to
express itself in appropriate tokens.
Love cannot be pent up within the
chambers Of its own individual life.
It must 60 forth into the world, where
are the needy and the sad, with a
smile Of good cheer lighting its face,
and with its hands filed with boun-
ties. But the best giving-that
which affection prizes the most-not
Of rich and costly gifts, but of the
heart. A smile, a look of welcome,
a warm grasp of the hand, a kindly
word, these are better in the eyes Of
those who love us, than gifts that
money can buy. Amid all our joy
and merry-making, thoughts of the
"dear-departed' would steal over us,
and tender sympathy was felt for
all who missed from the family circle
those who joined in the festivities
one year ago. The empty chair, the
vacant place at the table, the corner
where the tiny stocking was hung
last year, were sad reminders of
blighted hopes, and opened anew
many a wounded, bleeding heart
And thus it is through life, joy and
sadness go hand in hand, and will
till the end.
