This Is very good advice, girls, If you

you are certainly in hard luck, for what
good is he except to wear your life out

Give US the man with the sound stomach,
plenty OF blood In his veins, smile on his
face and a pleasant word for all. We
would take him If he hadn't dollar In the
world were we looking for husband just
now. Health Is better than riches, you
may depend. However, If you have the
III luck to own an invalid husband make
the most OF II. We can suggest means
OF helping him out. Burdock Blood Bit
ters, for the man with dyspepsia, for the
man who Is bilious, for the man who Is
debilitated, or for the man with an enfee-
bled circulation, are better than a gold
mine. And remember, girls, this splendid
medicine Is just as good for the opposite
sex; for sour stomach, for an Impure
breath and for nervousness we most heart
lily recommend it. Burdock Blood Bitters
are unexcelled in their specialties.
Mr.. X. Gibbs OF Buffalo, N. Y, writes

lady sitting in warm, cozy room, while
the wind whis,led about the house, rat
ting the windows, and piling the snow
flakes in deep drifts across the steps and
against the fences, was thinking OF the
houses up on the Hill, and down at Cor
hams Corner, and in Salem Lane, which
had no steam radiators, no glowing
CRATES, no double windows 10 keep out
these searching winter winds.
She thought, too, Of the little children
in those houses and, as it was December
of the joyous day coming so soon,-the
day for giving gifts all the world over
and wondered if in those houses bare fcei
would spring out Of bed, and dance acros:
to the chimueys in the dim dawn Of the
Christmas morning; if numb, blue fin
gers would eagerly snatch down shabby,
faded stockings, and find that ST. Nicho-
las had really been there; if, later on,
fathers and mothers, with brothers and
sisters, and babies in their high chairs,
"for just this one day." would come gay
ly around dinner tables, where plump
Christmas turkeys lay at one end, and
plum puddings were ready for the other,
and huge stacks of oranges, nuts, and
apples rose in the middle; and if, in the
evening, there would be great mysteries
in the parlOrs, fragrance of spruce, an
exciting rustling of paper parcels, moth
ers slipping slyly in and out of the doors
with hands behind them, general sour
rying about-and then all eyes dazzled
by hundred twinkling candles caught
in the branches of graceful tree laden
with toys.
She wondered if in those houses would
90 up that wild shout of glee, those ring
ing hurrahs and the joyous clapping OF
hands she had so often heard. And as
she wondered, she shook her head sadly,
saying:

less somebody remembers them. Why
can't something be done: l would work,
but one person can do so little alone. /

She thought intently for few mo-

TOYS. They will load a Christmas tree
a. one was never loaded before; they

ringing for Sunday-school. That was

pranced about the hall, taking fright at
everything, and convulsing the house
with laughter as he waltzed in time with
the music some gentlemen sang funny
songs, and told the most amusing stories;
and suddenly who should appear but
Santa Claus himself. He was "clothed
all in fur from his head to his feet and
carried on his back pack containing six
hundred bags of candy.
AS the sunlight faded, tiny ray sud-
denly flashed from the highest branch Of
the Christmas tree, and little voice
cried, "Oh, Bessy, see the star !" Then
another and another twinkling light crept
out, till the graceful Christmas tree stood
transfgured, all aglcam with light.
A pretty device had been to tie among
the branches "sun- bows" as a wee one
called prism, and the tiny candles were
reflected in hundred swaying mirrors.
A quiet awe had rested upon the child
rem as they breathlessly watched the
stars creep out but cloud Of light
burst upon them from the ceiling, grand

sic came soft at first, but soon swelling
into mighty chorus:
Praise God from whom all blessings now
Where are the presents all this time !:
Safely waiting on long tables behind the
tree, where now each rank of twenty is
led by the hosts, who have so cordially
done their duty through the afternoon.
Up the flight, at the left of the stage,
goes the long procession, on to the stage,
and near that glittering tree whose broad
arms stretch out as if to welcome them.
Then present is laid in every hand, and
on goes the line down the steps at the
right, out into the dressing rooms, and
then home.
The lame child, whom we saw when
she came in, receives the doll sent for her !;
and among the fathers and mothers there
not one can keep back the tears.
They slung me pair o skates :"
cried one boy who literally could not re-
strain his joy.
II seemed to be always the right thing
for the right child. Was it because they
have so few that any gift is precious:
But even this is not all; for, after they
are wrapped in their outdoor garments
which are all too thin, apples and or
anges are slipped into their pockets, and
packages Of food for sick mothers are put
into their hands
Thus closes the happy day.
Looking up the deserted staircase, a
little later, gentleman saw, all uncon-

there, with doll--her first doll probably
