The Puritans' Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day has been called the Puri-
tan Christmas, says DR.. Bonner. The Puritans
tried their utmost to abolish Christmas, and
made point of working on the merry day just
as usual. Nor were they altogether in the
wrong, for the best of all holidays has been
misused and made the occasion of gluttony
and debauchery. There were Christians who
thought it right and becoming on Christmas
to commit egregious excuses OF all kinds, and
to engage in conduct too silly and boisterous
for belief
So the Puritans made it an article of their
creed not to observe Christmas at ALL But
human nature proved too strong for them.
Families soon fell into the way of coming to-
gether on the annual THANKSGIVING Day, and
enjoying the family feast of love and good
cheer, as their fathers had done on Christmas
for untold generations. The result is that
Americans are now blessed with two Christ
masses. one in November and one in Deem
Der. This is one of the many advantages we
possess over other nations, and we trust that
all our readers will make the most of it. AS
we work harder than other people, it is but
reasonable that we should have an extra
Christmas.

She was far from strong, however. In fact
her devoted father saw that she was CROWN
weaker and weaker After all she was but
child, and ought to have been that night in
bed. but 1t was too late to think of that now.
The pantomime began and both old Ned and
little Edith were received with favor, the lat

ton joyously, and for awhile went through her
part with all her wonted grace and glee. But
then she seemed to grow faint and weak, to
her poor fathers infinite chagrin and sorrow.

bled for her. While he was maxim his faces

cry that sounded terribly strange in its con-

bitter cry went up from the heart and voice of
old Ned Herring, the clown.
For he saw his daughter and he saw that
she was dead Those around noticed it not.
The audience, Of course, could not perceive it;
but the fathers heart guided the fathers eye,
and he saw the awful truth that had escaped
all others. AS the curtain fell upon the gilt

IN THE RUSH OF CHRISTMAS MORN.
By LOUISE NJ. ALcorT.

In the rush of early morning,
When the red burns through the gray,
And the wintry world les waiting
For the glory of the day,
Then we hear fitful rustling
Just without upon the stair.
See two small white phantoms coming,
Catch the CLEAN of sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies stealing
Rows oflittle socks to fillH
Are they angels floating hither
With their message of good-willH
What great spells are these elves weaving
AS like larks they chirp and sing2
Are these palms of peace from heaven
That the lovely spirits bringp
Rosy feet upon the threshold,
Eager faces peeping through,
With the first red rays OF sunshine,
Chanting chcrubs come in view;
Mistletoe and cleaning holly,
symbols of blessed day,
In their chubby hands they carry,
Streaming all along the way,
Well We know them, never weary
OF this innocent surprise;
Waiting, watching, listening always
With full hearts and tender eyes,
While our little household angels,
White and golden i'll the sun,
Greet us with the sweet old welcome
Merry Christmas. every one!"

A little SOCK of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time,

Sat robed in white upon my knee,
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
Tell me, my little golden head,
If Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright,
What treasure for my boy ?" said.
And then he named the little toy.
While in his honest, mournfrn eyes
There came q look of sweet surprise
That spoke his quiet. trustful JOY.
And as he lisped his evening prayer.
He asked the boon with childish grace,
Then toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
Bhat night, as length'ning shadows crept
/ saw the white-winged ass me
With heavenly music tour home.
And kiss my darling as he slept.
They must have heard his baby prayer.
For in the morn. with smiling face,

And found the little treasure there.

Our public school has now a, library of about one hundred volumes. The books are rare ones and have been well selected. The library Ia at all times open to the patronage of the public. The pay tor the use of books is consider ably small, and it is querry to us, that the school library has not been better patronized by the people of this district. The monies received for the use of books go into the library fund and 1t is hoped that the library will grow larger in a short time. We trust that the next school trustees will give this matter their attention. Any man who takes no interest in public schools should not be elected a school trustee and this should we'll apply to every other candi- date for county offices. At the end of the scho ol year the SENTINEL will gratul tously publish the list of subscribers to the library fund.
