1t is Christmas To-day.

To-day, in every language nder the sun,
man will meet man with one universal greet
ing, "a Merry Christmas !"
Millions will throw aside the toll of the year,
families will unite who have not met for many,
many day; sons will return from afar off to
sit once more at the home table; animosities
will be softened, arrangements bridged; for it
is Christmas Day.
The celebration Of this day, incomplete, hui
man, as it will be-must be at best-is vital,
earnest evidence of an innate longing for some
thing better than the span of earthly life, an
aspiration toward something that is purer,
nobler, higher.
To those whose heads are bowed before the
shrine of Him who brought the glad tidings,
will come holy calm, peace to the troubled
soul-a solace to the weary and comfort to
the sorely-tried, that nothing on earth-that
nothing which is of the world can bring.
There are hearts to-day, awaiting patiently,
broken down in sorrow that time cannot heal,
for the summons to rejoin some so loved that
the light of life is already extinGuished, and
the motive for existence is taken away. To
them, to all who are weary and heavy-laden, let

What Johnny Got for Christmas.
A BOYS TROUBLES AT THIS SEASON OF THE
YEAR.

What to give Johnny has been bothering
Aunt Sophia for month. Pa generally says
! that what Johnny wants most is good old
fashioned trouncing with lath, such as Grand
pa used to give him, but Aunt Sophia always
contradicts Pa on such occasions, except when
Romeo is concerned who is Aunt Sophia's cat.
Well-Aunt Sophia went downtown bright and
early to get Johnny off her mind. But what to
give Johnny bothered Aunt Sophia.
Johnny has velocipede and three skates, u
bag of marbles, four jack knives which Aunt
is keeping for him until he grows up and fid-
die with one string broken, which Pa says will
be the death of him yet. Besides these he has
a silver watch which Aunt Sophia gave him last
Christmas, and which he broke the crystal of
cracking nuts, and then swopped with the
butchers boy ON the next street for a pea
shooter until Pa found it out and trounced him,
and got the watch back by paying the butcher
So, and threw the pea-shooter in the fire. Then
that same evening, when Johnny put spring
clothes-pin on Romeo's tail, and Romeo ran all
over the house like mad and broke two OF
Helens plaques and Mas cologne bottle skir-
mishing for fresh air ON the bureau, and
scratched Aunt Sophia's hand till it looked like
a sausage while she was trying to take the thing
off-why, then, before Pa came home and
trounced him, Aunt Sophia sat down and had
good cry, and said she knew Johnny was going
to grow up and be murderer some day and be
hanged, which made us all feel very sad. Last
week, however, when Johnny brought home
three blue tickets and a white one for recent
punctuality at Sunday-school, where they are
going to have Christmas tree and give away
nice tracts and chromos why Aunt Sophia
frightened up and said she always did believe
Johnny would be President one of these fine
days before Pa knew it, and that Pa was wrong
to discourage Johnny by saying 'pooh !" and
that Johnny could run up stairs now and find
nice apple on her table.
Well, Aunt Sophia went down town bright
and early, and spent five hours looking around
for something for Johnny. She gave him a
pictorial hymn-book last Christmas, but he PEN
cied mustaches on all the angels and had the
Apostles smoking pipes before the evening was
half through, which, of course, was very
wicked though it made Pa laugh when Ma
showed it to him. So Aunt Sophia determined
not to give Johnny anything pious this year,
and of course, had trouble. She went to toy
store first and spent ten minutes in choosing be-
tween cast-iron bank made so that fat man
would flip nickle in his mouth and roll his
eyes, and magnetic fish-hook which would
catch tin fish in glass of water without
trouble. She compromised, however, by buy
ing Johnny green and red monkey who
would throw surprising somersaults over blue
stick when gently pushed at the heels, and
little wooden man who would dance a jig when
wound up.

The Christmas Toys.

Where toys are purchased for Christmas
presents to the children, care should be OBJ
served that selection be made of articles
which not only amuse but instruct The books
now published for children afford never-fail
ing source of instructive entertainment
Boxes of paints, games, dolls and dolls pat
terms, carving tools, printing presses magnetic
and mechanical toys and embroidery patterns,
with worsted and silks for working them, are
few of the many gifts which it pays to buy for
the young. The children in their treatment of
presents teach lesson under this head. They
Immediately divide their presents in two classes
those sufficiently valuable to be stored away
in their repository for precious things and
those tacitly condemned to be destroyed in the
least possible space of time.

Visions of Christmas-T Tide.

Christmas paints many pictures on the can
vas of the mind, some of them bright, joyous,
full of sheen and dazzle and glitter, while
Others alas are sombre and sad and luridly
tinted with that unutterable despair begotten
Of the 'tmight have been." Christmas is sea-
son whereon, to those who have passed many of
the milestones on the great highway, it becomes
necessity to pause and gaze back and count
the halts by the wayside. 'What a glorious
Christmas that was when we were all with
father and mother at the old homel" "What a
ghastly Christmas that was when poor darling
Mary's chair was for the first time and forever
vacant !" "What strange Christmas that was
when Rosie appeared so cold and was so mis-
erable." Thus ring the bells of memory, now
joyously, now sadly, and thus will it be at
Christmas-tide till the crack of doom.
Christmas is a season of bounty. The very
birds are cared for, and their carol is all the
blither in this gracious and hallowed time. 1t
is season of cOquetting, too, and firtations
that commence in the once-a-year kiss beneath
the mistletoe, ripen as the year grows older.
See that charming girl, how deftly she arranges
sprig Of holly in her raven tresses, the red
berries showing warmly in the folds of her dark
hair Christmas is golden time; and if, as
we gaze back, there are some hating places on
the roadside where we suffered and were not
refreshed are there not others as radiant with
happiness, and are there not many yet to
nnnao

HIS CHRISTMAS KISS.

Close to the hearth hung two little socks
OF two chubby boys, with curly brown
locks,
Who had just crept into their beds.
They rolled and tossed, and prattled like
boys,
OF tops and sleds, and childish toys,
And then they covered their heads.
One FASTENED on to the City of Nod,
Where Father Time, with his magical rod,
Sits ON his kingly throne.
The other one waited, with wide-open eyes,
Then slipped out of bed, in glad surprise,
To find he was all alone.
Two little bare feet marched over the floor,
And their owner glanced at the open door,
Then tiny sock pinned to the wall;
"This ones for mamma"-the clock struck
eleven
And give her this kiss; you'll find her in
Heaven,
No matter how late you call"
If old st. Peter would tell all he knew,
He would say that an angel his gates passed
through,
And left heaven of bliss,
To go to that room, to that chubby-faced
child,
And look in his eyes, 80 tender and mild,
AS she took for herself that kiss

The Most Kindly of Seasons.

When Irving was reproached for describing
an English Christmas which he had never seen,
Geo. VIM. Curtis tells us, he replied that, al
though everything that he had described might
not be seen at any single house, yet all of it
could be seen somewhere in England at Christ
mas. He might have answered, also, that the
spirit of what he had described was visible
everywhere in Christendom on Christmas Day.
" Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long
And then, they say, no spirit dares stir
abroad
The nights are wholesome, then no planets
strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to
charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time"
This is the Christmas sentiment of to-day, as
it was of Shakespeare's time. 1t is the most
human and kindly of seasons, as fully pene-
trated and irradiated with the feeling Of hui
man brotherhood, which is the essential spirit
of Christianity, as the month of June with
sunshine and the balmy breath of roses. Santa
Claus coming down the chimney loaded with
gifts is but the symbol of the gracious influence
which at this time descends from heaven into
every heart. The day dawns with benedic-
tion; it passes in holiday happiness; and ends
in soft and pensiye regret

They Would Celebrate.

The difficulty of repressing the joyous frolic
of Christmas Day even at the farthest winter
outpost Of extreme Puritanism is shown by
Gov. Bradfords record Of Christmas time in
the Massachusetts, colony In November, 1921,
about year after thesarrival of the Maytower,
came the little ship Fortune, of fifty-five tons,
bringing welcome addition to the settlement
of thirty-fve persons. Bradford sententiously
remarks, ''Most of them were lusty yonge men,
and many of them wild enough" and then
proceeds "Ard herewith | shall end this
year, only shall remember one passage more,
rather of mirth than Of waight. One ye day
called Christmas-day, ye Gov'r called them out
to worke Gas was used), but We most of this
new-company excused themselves and said it
went against their consciences to worIe on We
day. So ye Gov'r tould them that If they made
it matter of conscience, he would spare them
till they were better informed. So he led-away
ye rest, and left them; but when they came
home at noone from their worke, he found
them in ye streete at play, openly; some pitch
ing ye barr, and some at stoole-ball and shuch
like sports. So he went to them and tooke
away their implements and tould them that
was against his conscience that they should play
and others worke. If they made ye keeping Of
it matter of devotion, let them kepe their
houses, but ther should be no gameing or revel-
ling in ye streets. Since which time nothing
hath been attempted that way, at least

Looking Forward.

How eagerly do the different members of the
family look forward to Christmas Even when
the belief in a ''real, live Santa Claus" is BAN
ished, half regetfully, among the childish
dreams of the past, the mystic charm which
fingers about the day makes old and young
eagerly long for its appearance. None should
esteem it above them to revere and celebrate
the day, no matter how exalted their station.
Parents who do not make it a practice to be-
stow some little gifts upon their children, will
ever regret that they did not give them this
opportunity to look back upon these Christmas
days as bright spots in their childhood. Do not
destroy the beautiful illusions of holiday-time;
douot become 80 fixed and hard in your opin-
Ion Of the importano of practical reality as to
lose wight of those things about which life's
reeolleetions will cluster in after years.
