DONE QUICK;

A Christmas Tale.

"Let the stricken deer 20 weep,

"Let the stricken deer 20 weep.r
The brightly setting sun threw it's
warming wintry rays over the busy
streets of beautiful Goshen. And
where is Goshen ? A geographical
consultation would discern its where
abouts in the southeastern part of
the State of New York /; or il, per-
chance, you have a more extended
knowledge of that portion of the
State, you will know Goshen as the
county seat of Orange.
As we have said, the streets were
very busy and the setting sun filled
them with mellow, golden srlendor,
while the air contained just enough
wintry sharpness to infuse nettle and
spirit into brute and human forms
passing to and fro. Snow covered
the ground, and gaudy sleighs, &C.
companied by merry bells and laugh
ing men and women, flashed by foot.
passengers like flying aerial chariots.
Add to this the banging of street
doors, the barking of ours, the shouts
of robust boys coasting through the
streets, the flashing decorations of
store windows-for it was approach.
Ing Christmas-snd we have a natu-
raj plcture-a picture that we cannot
look upon without a desire to enter
into and be a part of it. 1t would
be rare fan to be in that small boys
place who has his sled hitched behind
that flying cutter; or, if you rather,
to be in his place who holds the "rib
bons" in the cutter itself beside that
fine looking young lady. A mere
matter of choice.
In certain room on the main
street, where, as sign over the door
indicated, lager beer and meals were
dispensated at all hours, stood fine
looking man. He was leaning against
the window casing and gazing into
the street in a listless manner He
might have been twenty one years of
age; was of splendid build in form !,
felt hat carelessly covered = mass
of black curls and was tipped slightly
on one side, giving him a jaunty ap.
pearance. And here he stood, his
hands in his pockets, whistling first a
few notes OF "Sweet by and. by, then
a snatch from the "Devil's Dream"
and keeping time the while with the
heel of his dainty pat Mt leather boot.
With his laughing dark brown eyes
and bis soft new mustache-his easy
self-possession, assurance and natural
grace-Rome Jerome would at any
time and place have passed anywhere
for an easy gentleman.
Though Rome Jerome looked
from the window into the street a,
the moving crowd, be saw them not;
though he whistlei many lively tune.
softly to himself, he heard them not
or IT be saw or heard be sensed moi
these things, for his thoughts and hi,
senses were wandering far avs,
across the States and into the Terri
tories after an absent friend.

Yet think there was no snow"

Tell me how the fields looked then:
Was the sky sll clear, or Loudly.
When the fiocks vent forth again ~
''Sister, shepherds do not lead
Their focks in snowy fields to feedn
"Was it not in cold December?
What time was it that he came?
Were the lovely flowers blooming
When the shepherds heard his name ?.
Little one, we do not know,
Since no Scripture tells Us So"
Johnny, If the flowers were blooming.
Then, | think, some little child
Brought in garlands for our Saviour,
Twined of buds and blossoms Wild
"Little sister, we don't know;

Was that star like other stars
Was il high up, or hanging low,
And like Venus, or like Marsgn
SISTER dear, we cannot know:
Yet think the star hung low
Il don't understand it, brother -
How could the Almighty One
Dwell within helpless infant?
How could He who made the sun
And woke the day-beam when he smiled.
BE here, on earth, the Jesus-child ?n
"Sister, earth is full of wonders;
And the wisest in our lands

Not one grass. blade understands.
What wonder then, if Christ should be

And the magic's errand told,
When they came and worshiped, kneeling.
Of'ring gifts of myrrh and gold"
Little sister, don't forget
We've the same dear Jesus yet.n
Johnny, dear, shall we remember
These sweet Chrstmases, up there,
When we see the same bright angels
Who came down the News to bear
Shall we, Johnny, when we hear
Such sweet music and SO near ?"
why nots Tell ME, little sister;
Would it not add JOY to bliss,
To remember how Our Saviour
Led us through earth's wilderness
Kept US from the snares and woe;
Taught US all the way to GO?
Yes, dear sister am certain,
When that blessed day shall come,
There, beyond the starry curtain,
We shall not forget the home
Where we learned the Christmas song!
We may tell it to that throng."
Brother, shall we, shall we te Il it
To the angels pure and bright?
Johnny dear, perhaps they know it,
And will sing with US Tonight"
"Sister, yes; we know they sing
GLORY, glory to Our King"
Then, dear Johnny, sing the anthem,
Glory, in the highest, glory
Let US sing it now together;
Then you tell the Sweet, Old Story"
"Little sister, though it's old,
Yet 'tis new, and bright as gold"
"Sing it, Johnny, while nestle
Close to you, and lay my head
On your arm, and think of Jesus
On that lowly manger-bed"

Shines like stars of Bethlehem"
