CHRISTMAS OF 1883.

The world moves on. New faiths arise !:
Old theOries..ehALgs; opinions vary;
Not quite the ancient lnster lies
About the infant child and Mary.
The mind-the home. once, Of BELIEF
Now .harbors..Scienee tor season;
Old Time has turned another leaf,
Aud brought US to the age Of Reason,
Now men dare preach to man is given,
Withhold. .ths.ald OF creed or Saviour,
The moral strength to climb to heaven,
Upon the rounds Of good behavior.
They holl IL true that We within
Ourselves ust.seek the spark to light
Awayifrom paths that lead to sin,
Or not all heavens great hosts can
right US.
They argue less Of hnal doom
Aud more Of everyday conditionsi
They ply the intellectual broom
And sweep away all superstitions.
"Tear down the cobwees Of all creeds,"
They cry, "thick NTH the dust Of ages,
Aud give US facts and noble decis."
Alas ye rash, destructive sages'
Great faiths, great arts, must die one
death
Oh, direst Of all dire disasters;
1t was their grand ecstatic faith,
Which made the worlds immortal mas
ters.
Their lives were'all one cesseless prayer
Their spirits seemed to scorn thel
bodies;
And rise above all earthly care
Aud penetrate the realm where God is
They did not pause to question why,
They did not doubt tho Christms
story;
On wings Of faith they scared so.high
They saw the wonder-world of glory.
Their brushes, dipped in heavenly 6re,
Left colon which endure forever;
oh. let not unbeliet aspire
TO equil faiths inspired endeavor
The skeptic mind may coldlv plan;
EThe scofier may perform his duty
But only the praycrful-minded man
May find the secret truths of beauty.
The grandest genius comes to grief,
And leaves no impress deep or lasting
Unless It's builded ON Belief,
And nurtured oft by prayer and fasting
SO much that's beautiful aud bright,
Rare truths to which 1t was stranger
The world has learned since Bethlehem
light
Shone DER the infant jesus manger,
That Christmas tale in which appears
The child God and the mother human
Has left for eighteen hundred years
A luster on the name of woman.
Let all the enlightened hosts Of earth
Our gratitude be voicing;
And let this time OF Jesus birth
Remain a day Of glad rejoicing.

Beautiful Answers.

What is gratitude !?
Gratitude the memory of the
heart.
What is hope ?
Hope is the blossom of happiness.
What is the difference between
hope and desirep
Desire is the tree In leaf, hope is
the tree in flower, and enjoyment is
a tree In fruit.
What is time?
A line that has two ends--a path
that begins in the cradle land ends
in the tomb.
What is God /?
The necessary being, the sum of
eternity, the merchant of nature, the
eye of justice, the watcher of the
universe, the soul Of the world.
Does God reason2
Man reasons because he doubts,
he delberates, he decides. God is
omnicient. He never doubts He,
therefore, never reasons.

Kiss Me Good Night, Dear.

That is the phrase heard in the
hallway of many home as the man
of the house hurrying away to ex-
change daily labor for daily bread in
the mart of commerce. Sometimes
it is the wife who says it, sometimes
infant lips prattle the caressing
word, holding sweet'hower face
for the kiss that is its warm sun
shine of life, and the strong man
waits moment to clasp his treasure
and is gone, and all day he wonders
at the peace in his heart at the
nerve with which he meets business
losses, or bears business crosses. The
wlfe's kiss did it, the baby's kiss did
it; and he realizes that it is not
wealth or position or luck that
makes our happiness, but the in
fluence we bear with us from the
presence of those we love.

Far From Satisfactory.

Notwithstanding all the careful
preparations made by the astrono-
mers of many nations to observe the
recent transit of Venus, it appears
probable that the results Of their
work will probably be far from sat
isfactory. An actual observer, Pho.
fessor Hall, the Principal of the
High School of Hartford, where the
German astronomers had their sta.
ton, points out the fact that the re-
ported times of the contacts, as OBJ
served at different stations, vary as
much as two minutes when reduced
to Washington time. or course, I'M
less the contacts could be fixed far
more accurately than this, the time
observations would be useless but
when corrections have been made,
and the work of different observers
has been carefully weighed, accord
ing to it's value, better results will
probably be attained. Many hun
dred photographs were taken, and
these may prove more valuable than
the observations of contacts. Still,
it is no doubt true, as Professor
Hall, of Hartford suggests, that
other methods of measuring the suns
distance will in the future give more
accurate results than transit obser-
vations.

her back.
Instructions were forwarded to

as were there. and if she could he
sufficiently repaired there she would
