the most independent man in the country
is he who learns good and useful trade.

men need not fear starvation; they will

is dull at one place they have only to
change TO another.
Parents in most countries who are lit

up their noses at the trades, and instead
Of teaching their boys one of these, give
them a first class education, and then
comparatively throw it away by putting
them 10 what they falsely consider the
most respectable employment of a clerk
or salesman, that in general does not com

IHE CHRISTMAS THORN.-There ;s m
old story that one Christmas eve. when
Joseph OF Arimathea was wansYerino ovor
Glastonbury churchyard, OF, perhaps over
the hill, where it afterwards stnod ha
planted his staff It at once took root II
Put lorth leaves, aud the next day it was
covered with mi k white blossoms. After
thls 1t bloomed every Christmas dav.
Whlch In those days came on the 9Th Of
January and not upon the 25th of Decem
per AFTER time, the people from around
London, from Buchinghamshre and other
places' began te take slips from the plant
ana were greatly pleased to find that each
one possessed the miraculous quality of the
parent hawthorn; each rooted at once. and
each bloomed on Christmas onlv. Then il
happened that certain people who like to
rearrange matters began to meddle with
the almanac itself, and they altered the
date OF Christmas, and all other well .estab.
lished holidays. 1t was not a pleas,n
change, and it was troublesome to remain.
per that the first of May now came in
April; out then, as now, no one ever cor.
rected an almanac. When the thorn how
ever, came to be discussed, some of tho
people said it would bloom on Christine.
no matter In what month the day sbould
come, ior II 1t did not, there would be NO
s'ghlhcance at all in it. There were others
more doubtful who shook their heads. and
tne m END OF 1t was that, on the evening of
Zee. "a (ncw style), the people from
Yaainton, Buckinghamshire where the
glastonbury slip had grown and tiourisbed
started out, two thousand strong. and with
lanterns and candles went to see if the
.horn nad budded. The night was clear
ana cold, and the bush stood barren and
ware Ihere was no sign of blossom, and,
no matter what the almanacs said. it was
c'ear that the staff of Joseph of Arimathea
meant to keep Christmas upon its own
gay Ibis at once decided the people. In
oualnton the church bells rang, but the
ulihlster waited In vain-the people did
not come; no carols were sung, the mistle-
zoe ooughs were not hung, and all the
games were put off until the real Christ |
mas day should come. Whether or not
the thorn bloomed on the 9TH of January
or whether, disguised with changes. il left |
on blooming altogether, tradition does not |
tell; but one thing is upon record-the
9uaihton people kept their Christmas old

something had to be done, and the CLERGY
from the country around decided that the
new christmas must certainly be kept if
Ihlhgs were ever to he made even. but
,hlt the old one should also be a holiday
and have its share of festival.

looking back to the bright home fire.
across stormy waters.
The men had come back from theil
work on shore with branches of greer
pine and holly, and the women had stuck
tnem about the ship, not without fearful
thoughts of old home places, where their
chlldhood fathers and mothers did the
same.
Bits and snstches of Christmas carols
were floating all around the ship, like land
BIRDS blown far out to sea.
Down in the cabin Rose Standish was
nushing little Peregrine. the first American
born baby, with Christmas lullaby.
See here, quoth Miles Standish, when
my Rose singeth, the children gather
round her like bees round flower. Come.
let us all strike up a goodlY carol together,
Sing one, sing all, girls and boys, and get
bit OF Old England's Christmas before
tomorrow, when we must to our work on
shore"
Ihereat Rose struck up familiar ballad
metre OF catching rhythm, and eyery
voice OF young and old was soon joining
in it.
Ihe cheerful sounds spread themselves
through the ship like the flavor of some
rare perfume. bringing softness of heart
through thousand tender memories.
anon, the hour of Sabbath morning
worship drew on. and Elder Brewster read
from the New Testament the whole history
OF the nativity, and then gave sort of
Christmas homily from the words of St.
Paul in the eighth chapter of Romans, the
sixth and seventh verses.

PARENTAL DEGRADATToN-A strikino
instance of the degradation to which love
OF drink will reduce man was brought tc
light yesterday. The case is compare
tlvley trivial one, but it is nevertheless sig
nlticant. A respectable man who for some
time past has successfully combatted his
craving for strong stmuants, finding the
old desire irresistible but not having the
wherewlthal to purchase liquor, robbed
his own child, little girl of three years in
peculiarly heartless manner. The little
one had carefully stored away for "Kis.
mass" in toy bank presented by rela-
tive 26 cents, a large sum to her, This
pltlable amount the man, in general kind
ana loving parent, distracted from the
box, despite the chid's earnest entreaties
and leaving the house sought for some low
grosshop and there spent it, succeeding
with the vile liquor he obtained and the
treats of "friends" in reducing himself to
a degrading state of intoxication, in
which he was after wards found and taken
home by his wife, led by the little one to
the place where "fader had gone. Mon

ALCOHOL AS MEDICINE temper.
ance hospital in London is a complete
success The report at the recent sixth
annual meeting greatly encouraged those
who are undertaking this reform in medi.
cal treatment. With the l40 in n-patients and
l,l7 out-patients under the care of the
hospital, alcohol has not been used in a
single instance, and the death-rate had
been only four per cent. which is much
lower than in the general hospitals, where
the cost of beer alone sometimes exceeds
that of bread. This hospital will do good
work for humanity if it continues 10 fur
nish practical proof that. even as med.
icine, alcohol is unnecessary and often
mischevous in its effects.

PRACTICAL JOKING IN NORwAY.-The
presentation of fChristmas gifts in Norway
is the chief diversion of the season, and in
these many strange customs are observed.
Thus in some districts the gift is hid in a
truss of hay or staw, or sometimes il
placed in bag of chaff. The donator then
watches his opportunity. and silly fixes the
truss OF hay above the door of his friend s
room. When the latter enters, the h,.y
ialls on him. to the great enjoyment of the
kindly conspirators, who are probably
Watching close at hand. Then ensues an
eager and exciting search. The truss ia
ripped open, hands thrust in and out
throughout the straw or hay till the Gift is
found. at which moment the donators gen.
orally disclose their presence by shouts of
delight and the expression of good wishes
for the season and the year to come, The
bag of chaff is also source of endless and
innocent merriment. In its fall from the
top of the door it covers the receiver with
Il cloud of dust, and small particles that
adhere to bis beard enter the fur ofhis coat,
and make him feel as uncomfortable and
look as ridiculous as can we'll be desired
by the most ardent promoters of practical
jokes. But as he opens his eyes he at once
notices lying in the mess around him a
welcome present which has been secreted
in the chat, 1t may we'll be imagined with
what delight children Join the rough play,
and how it materially assists to pass the
long winter season.

A new material for building ha,
been inv ented in Glasgow. 1t is compos.
ed OF two mixtures, the first of which con.
aims coal tar, mixed with small broken
stones or shingle, portion of which is
pulverized or mixed with sand, so that
the interstices between the stones of larger
size may be suitably filled up; the second
mixture is composed of clay and pitch /;
or sand and chalk, either may be used as
substitute for the clay. The first mix.
ture is prepared in mixing apparatus at
a heat which is gradually increased until
the product is adhesive to the touch; the
second mixture is formed by grinding tho
powder thus obtained, and is added to the
first while its particles are in an adhesive
condition. The mixture of these two
compounds is confined in close recepta-
ole, and heated so as to diffuse the vapors
uniformly throught the ingredients. In
the production of building block. the
material, after being tested, is removed
while hot to moulds, and pressed and

THE PERIL OF STRONG DRiNK.-Dr.
Cuyler writes in the Evangelist:
The chief peril in our cities is from
the dram shops, which are the nurseries
of crime, Sabbath desecration, and all
iniquties. Strong drink does more to
hinder the kingdom of Christ than any one
evil known on the glode. Yet this mo.
mcntous question is ignored in church
councils, in prayer meetings, and in a
vast number of pulpits! 1t is seldom
discussed by eminent lawyers and Judges;
it is tabooed as 'ungenteel in polished
circles, and is ostracized as 'finatical' by
the ensy going ethics which allow every
man to be law unto himself without
reference to his neighbor
