President of Browns Cotton Gin Com

gists for bottle of Constitution Water,
and insisted on my taking it, saying that
he, and others he knew, had been troubl-
ed the same way. 1t seems Incredible,
but in two days began to feel better,
my appetite improving, and in few days

And the news goes forth on sea and
land,
Old Christmas comes again.
There never WAS cheer like the Christ
mas cheer,
The last, best gift of the dying year
TO tho weary sons Of men.
The bells are ringing the story old
From out their brazen throats,
And millions listen to hear IL told
AS over the world it floats.
The wanderer hears the joyous sound I;
God bless the bells! | am homeward
bound,
For Christmas comes again.
In the city's glare he has dwelt alone,
Alone in tbs "madding crowd"
And ceaseless labor no rest has known
Till the bells ring out so loud.
Then over the snow his footsteps glide,
For Joy comes back with the Christ
mas tide,
And peace to the souls of men.
The joyous call that the bells have
rung
Is summons to love and home
The same old song that the angels
sung
Who ventnred on earth to roam.
Goodwill and peace where the loved
ones wait,
An eager hand on the cottage gate =

Christmas.

Here comes old Father Christmas.
With sound Of fife and drums;
With NiStletoe about his hrowS,
80 morrily he comes
His arms are full of all good cheer,
His face with laughter glows;
He shines like 4 household fire
Amid the cruel SHOWS.
He is the old folks Christmas;
lie warns their hearts like wine,
He thawS their winter into spring,
And makes their faces shine,
Hnrrah for Father Christmas,
King all the merry bellsl
Aud bring the grandSireS all around
To hear the tale he tells.
Here comes the Christmas angel,
So gentle and 80 calm,
As softly rs the falling flakes
lie comes with tlute and psalm.
All ina cloud of glory,
As once upon the plain
To shepherd boys in Jewry,
Tie brings good news again.
lie is the young folks Christmas:
lie makes their eyes grow bright.
With words of hope and tender
thought,
Bnd visions of delight.
Hail to the Christmas angel
All peace on earth he brings;
lie gathers all the youths and maids
Beneath his shining wings
Here comes the little Christ-child,
All innocence and joy,
And bearing gifts in either hand
For every girl and boy,
lie tells the tender story
About the Holy Maid,
And Jesus in the manger
Before the oxen laid.
Like any little winter bird
lie sings this sweetest song,
Till all the cherubS in the sky
To hear his carol throng.
He Is the children's Christmas;
They come without a call
70 gather round the gracious child
who lrllgeth joy to all.
But who shall bring their Christmas
Who wreStle still with lifeY
Not gramdsires, youths, nor littl,
tOlkS,
But they who wage the strife;
The fathers and the mothers,
Who fight for homes and bread,
Who watch and ward the living,
And bury all the dead.
Ali by their side at Christmas-tide
The Lord Of Christmas stands;
lie smooths the burrows from theil
brows
With strong and tender hands;

Merry Christmas.

"Christmas comes but once d
year" and that once, this year, is
to-day. Readers all, we wish you a
Merry Christmas and many Of
them after this one. 70 some few
of you this greeting will come on
Christmas Eve, and TO some few
not till after the commencement Of
Christmas week-and this reminds
us that Christmas is the longest day
day Of all the year In many re-
gions its festivities and obseryances
are prolonged through the succeed
ing week, and III nearly all countries
where observed it begins the day
before. Christmas Eve is as univer-
sally kept as the sacred day itself,
and most Of the legends and ira
ditions that cluster around the
occasion refer US back to that holy
Eve when "on the plains Of Judea,
the shepherds watched their focks
by night" Truly the best Of
Christmas is not Christmas, at all,
but the night before Christmas.
The greatest charm Of the annual
celebration Of the birth Of the Child
that was cradled in the manger OF
that poor inn nearly two thousand
years ago, Is that it is the high
carnival Of childhood; the time OF
all the year, when that fairy land
that the little folks constantly live III

II was Christmas Eve. The
night was very dark and the snow
was falling fast, as Hermann, tho
charcoal burner, drew his cloak
tighter around him, and the wind
whistled iiercely through the trees
of the Black Forest. llo had been
to carry a load to castle near, and
was now fastening home to his
little hut. Although he worked
very hard, he was poor, gaining
barely enough for the wants of his
wife and his four littlo children.

heard n faint wailing, Guided by
the sound he CROPPED about and
found little child scantily clothed,
shivcring and sobhiug by itfelf in
the snow.
why, little one, have they lcft
thee here all alone to faco this cruel
blast?"
The child answered nothing, but
looked piteously up into the char
coal-burner's face.
"Well ] cannot leave thee here.
Thou woulds't be dead before tho
morning"
So saying, Hermann raised IL in
his arms, wrapping il in his cloak
and warming its little cold fingers
in his bosom. When Inc arrived no
his hut, he put down the child and
tapped Mt the door, which was
Immediately thrown open, snd tho
children oil rushed out to meet
him.
Here, wife, is u guest TO our
Christmas Eve supper said he,
leading in the little ono, who held
timidly to his finger with It's tiny
hand.
"And welcome ho is,r said the
wife. Now let him come hero
and warm himself by tho fire"
The children MI pressed around
to welcome and gaze at the little
newcomer. They showed him the
pretty iir-tree, decorated with
bright, colored lamps in honor OF
Christmas Eve, which the good
mother had endeavorcd to mako
a fcte for the children.
They sat down to supper, each
child contributing Of lis portion
for the guest looking with admira-
tion Mt its clear, blue eyes and gol-
den hair, which shown so rs TO
shed n brighter light in the little
room; and ms they gazed, il grew
into Il sort Of halo round his head,
and his eyes beamed with u hcav-
emily luster. Soon two white wings
appeared ut his shoulders, and he
seemed 10 grow larger and larger,
and then the beautiful vision van

Hermann and his wife fell ON
their knees exclaiming, in awe
struck voices: "rhe holy Christ

children in joy and thankfulness
that they had entertained tho
Heavenly Guest.
The next morning. as Hermann
passed by the place where he had
found the fair child, he saw clus-

dark green leaves, looking as
though the snow itself had bios

and carried them rcycrently home
