A Few Remarks About the Dying Year.

Once more we are panied to chronicle the sad
fact that the finale of the dying year is near at
hand Its breath comes fast and thick with
malaria and Christmas anecdotes. 1t is rheu-
matte, its joints are stiff and cold, and its pale
and emaciated features are sunken, and the
pumpkin vine that has turned up its FROST
bitten toes, procaims a speedy reconciliation
with its maker. 1t started out full of hope, and
its grand opening was propitious, and all its
clouds had silver lining with gold specie
basis. 1t became more interesting as it grew
to maturity. When it was about five months
under headway the sweet-scented forget-me-
not and the dog fennel began to bloom and
pregnate the ambient air with heavy sighs of
natures rich perfume. The gentle ambhng
goat chewed the italian sunset scenery from
the circus bill board, and was happy in his feed.
The twittering birds trilled their rapturous
roundelays and the enhancing melody of their
trilling notes resounded in echo from the con-
cave shores of ethereal happiness. All the
world was in love with itself, and everything
went merry as could be. Old Father Time
came pretty soon, and with the jack-knife OF
age began to whittle down those things that
had outlived their usefulness. The hyacinth
and hollyhock alike tumbled to the racket, and
soon their fellow beings of other races and
colors followed suit, and Mother Earth folded
them to her fond embrace.

Christmas Dots.

"ScHooLaIRL !" You say the youth you dote
on is almost sixteen years old and you want ia
give him Christmas present which will please
him more than all the rest he can possibly re.
ceive from others. Very well; give him shaw
ing case.
On maiden fair the Christmas comes,
And Christmas snow is fiocking;
Thou hast my heart, sweet one, or else
I'd put it in your stocking.
MARRIED people are generally good mind
readers. Just now wives and husbands are
artfully trying to deceive each other as to whaj
they want for Christmas present.
THE turkey that escaped Thanksgiving be-
gins to tremble for Christmas.
BET you that you get pair of slippers on
Christmas day.
THE belfries Of all Christendom
Now roll along
The unbroken song
OF ''Peace on earth, good will to men,"
LoNGFELLow.
nCUpID !" You ask how you shall best pre-.
vent quarrel with your inamorata? Be still,
Oh loving heart, and draw comfort from the re.
fection that your best girl isn't going to breab
,way from you until after Christmas.
THE child who leaves the rolling pin on the
stairs for his father to step on when he comet
down in the morning may mean no harm,
but won't come out well Christmas.
On, the light, and warmth, and glory
Circling round the Christmas Eve
Eastern tale or fairy story
Never could such magic weave.

A VISIT FROM ST NICHOLAS

Twas the night before Christmas when all
through the house
Not creature was stirring not even mousse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their
heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief and in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for long winters
nap
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter,
sprang from my bed TO see what was the
matter.
Away to the window flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the SASH
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When. what to my wondering eye should appear,
But miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver, so lively and quick,
knew in a moment it must be st. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them
by name:
"Now, Dasher now, Dancer now, Prancer
and Vixen!
On comet; Oh tuplu UH| lIonucI
BlitZen-
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall !
Now dash away dash away, dash away all |"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the
sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys-and st. Nicholas,
too.
And then in twinkling heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof.
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with a
bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his
foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and SCOT;
A bundle of TOYS he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his
pack
His eyes, how they twinhed his dimples how
merry
His checks were like roses, his nose like a
cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a
wreath.
He had broad face and little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like bowl full OF
jelly.
He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old elf
And laughed when l saw him, in spite of
myself.
A wink of his eye. and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave q
whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of thistle,
But / heard him exclaim ere he drove out Of
sight:
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all, good
nightm

When you fold your hands at twilight and

What words, thou small eyangel, fall from thy

Whom do you ask to keep you through the

voice answered low:
'Pease Goddess papa-mamma-and-

To Heaven-and- s'cuse me-if I die be-

"Why, great, big angel somewhere, that's

Somewhere-oh, dear, Use sleepy-a-way up

Poor babe! Twas who taught thee in such ex-
alted mood;
I've held the hay too high, pet-my lamb is
starved for food!
And since thou dost not know Him, who gave
us Christmas cheer
I'll tell the old, old story of his brief tarry
here:
He made the first fair Christmas when he came
Heavenly babe,
In the lowly stable-mapger mid the kneeling
oxen laid
a wee, sweet, dark-faced baby, of Jewish peo-
pie born,
Prince of the House of David, He came that
Christmas morn
He drew all people to Him, this wondrous
manger-child,
The little Savior Jesus, of whom none said
''He smiledp
Who played not among children in merry,
mirthful guise;
But as He grew in stature was patient, grave
and WISE
At twelve He taught the elders and in man
hood, it is told,
How He worked the son of Joseph, in the
humble craft of old;
In the workshop of his father with hammer
and with saw,
As carpenter He labored, till He knew the
Heavenly Law.
And they tell how sore and weary, after days
of toll and care,
He looked toward Jerusalem and saw His
future there,
And throwing down the implements of labor
and of loss,
He stretched forth weary arms and made the
shadow of the cross.
They say the robin-redbreast, a bird that
Christ hast blessed,
With His blood He marked the color on its
glowing crimson breast.
In its bill it brought him water, when He hung
upon the tree,
Where, you know, His people nailed Him,
when He died for you and me.
What not crying, are you darling2 Why you
know each Christmas Day
He leaves His Heavenly kingdom and returns
to earth TO stay
With the good and happy children, who meet
to sing his praise.
He loves to come and tarry, these joyous Christ
mas Days.
And the poorest ones among us, the lowly, the
oppressed
However poor their dwelling-may have Him
for their guest.
This Savior whom you kneel to, my darling.

CHRISTMAS The festival of the birth of
Christ was celebrated by different communities
of the early Christians at various periods of the
year, and it was not until the fourth century
that the present season was definitely fixed
upon. This is said to have been the act of
Julius l., Pope of Rome, A. d. 337352. There
can be no doubt that the end of December does
not represent the true anniversary. and there
is reason to believe that the celebration was
transferred from the last month of the Jewish
year, when the birth was known to have taken
place, to the last month of the Christian year.

Eetter Mothers.

[Dr. J. Fl. Hanaford in Western F4ownan. I
The great demand of the age is better edu-
Gated fe1nales-educated III all respects, thei,
whole capabilities brought into activity,
since the health, vigor, mental and moral
power of the next generation OF least, will
depend on their condition more than all other
influences combined-"each after its kind. u
The sickly mother will rear a sickly Child,
though that feebleness may not at first be
manifest. The peevish mother-so dur
ing the most important period Of har
earthly life-win produce peevishness
in her offspring. The grovelling,
low, sensual, incorporate, and vicious woman
becomes 1ust to that extent the mother Of
just such children, as the future will demon
strate. If these are facts, therefore, 1t is a
matter Of vital Importance that our girls
should be thoroughly educated TO become
wives and mothers, not 50 much because that
is their highest position, as because the
true woman wishes to be wife and mother
from the very aspirations of her nature. If
she is thus to become the mother of the race,
it is her right and the duty which society
owes her, to have every possible facility to
become the highest type of such mother
