A Sense Of Honor.

The following is taken from an editor.
ial in the Century for December:
"There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to this
generation of Americans by ministers OF
the gospel, by both clerical and lay in
structors of the youth, by all who have
public influence or private authority,
is-a sense of honor! 1t must be shown
and insisted upon that every position in
life where one person is employed by
another to do a certain work, imposes an
obligation to fulfill the duties of the
place with an honorable and disinterest-
ed regard for the interests of the en-
ployer. 1t must be shown that this view
of employment applies to the cook, the
GRAND boy, the cashier, the legislator,
the Governor, the President. This is a
trite, apparently simple, and perhaps
somewhat stupid view of the opportun-
titles of "smart" and ambitious young
American of our day; but unless this
commonplace view Of responsibility is
laid hold of by increasing numbers in
the future of our country, We will not
say that our society will 60 to pieces.
but we will cay that our calamities will
increase, and that we will get into
many troubles, and not soon out of
them, compared with which the dangers
and distresses of the past will seem al
most significant"

strange trees where futtered such bril-.
, liant birds, was spread feast-a Christ
mas feast-turkeys, roast beef. plum
pudding and all. The white dresses OF
the people seemed very strange, and
when Ethel Clement led them to the
improvised table, they thought her some
angel in nuns yelling.
It was indeed reversible Christmas
for the guests were servants and the
strangers from poverty and wreck the
guests. 1t is true one of those Australian
showers came up in the middle of the
dinner and nearly!:drowned the table out,
but it was regarded only as an episode
more amusing than serious. The whole
company, emigrants, guests aud all,
found shelter in the house and outbuild-
ings till the shower passed, and then the
festival was resumed.
Mr.. Clement declared that they must
all stay for St. Nicholas, even though the
tree had to be given up, as it had been
struck by lightning and all the candles
melted. The company laughed at this,
when Mr.. Clement assured them it was
true, for fine tree from the woods had
been selected for this purpose, and the
brush cleared away so that the company
could stand round the living Christmas
tree in the woods Meantime it had been
shattered by lightning.
While he was explaining this solemn
old kangaroo stalked awkward across the
lawn and made bow to the astonished
company.
"This," said Mr.. Clement, els the origi-
nal Australian Santa, Clause, and he has
present for every child"
At once the intelligent animal put its
forepaw in its pouch and drew forth
package and gave it to the nearest child.
Another and another child was made
happy by this delightful marsupial, and.
then it bowed gracefully and hoped
majestically away to the woods and dis
appeared.
One child older than the rest ventured
to follow the amiable marsupial to the
woods. She walked on for q little space
and then spied the creature, standing by
tree, and calmly crawling out of its
skin.
"Why, Mr.. Montague! We never knew
you were possessed ofsuch talents. Didn't
you find it rather warm work"
Eyes. A kangaroo skin is not just the
costume for this climate"
"And you did so nobly at the wreck.

"You are quite right, sir" she said,
with smile, "and I'm so very much
obliged to you for saving the people on
the ship-the Curlew of San Francisco,
think you said it was?"
"Yes. The CUrlew, Captain Simmons,

The Bird of Dawn.

1t may be that the belief in Shakes.
peare's time the story that Hamlet did
''in part believe" that the cock crows all
night long on the eve of Christmas, had
it's origin in the growing of the cock in
that gray dawn when Peter denied his
Lord. The growing was sign that gra-
cious influence prevailed, with which
the bird was in sympathy. The ghost
in Hamlet "faded on the Growing of the
cock" but we are led to believe that it
was owing to it's connection with this
holy festival that the "bird of dawning"
had its charm against evil.
Some matter-of-fact writer's say that
the cock is deceived by the abundant
lights of the festival, for Christmas is
sometimes called in the Latin church the
Feast of Lights, so many candles are
used. In Belgium, from Christmas to
Epiphany the children 60 about carrying
paper stars with a lighted candle in the
centre, commemorating the appearance
of the star in Bethlehem. Whether it is
the artificial light or sympathy with the
season that keeps the cocks awake all
night, their Growing at such unseason-
able hours was sometimes regarded as
an unfavorable omen. The story is told
in country parish in England of poor
woman, in dangerous illness, who was
greatly depressed by this overture of
Chanticleer to the dawn, believing that
it was sign of death. But when the
well-known passage from Hamlet was
read to her, and she was told that it was
written by the cleverest imam in England,
she frightened up and began to recover
Immediately. 1t was the child-like faith
of the Middle Ages that all created
things were in sympathy with the Ma
tivity; the cocks crew, the bees in their
hives made more melodious noise, and
the cattle in their stalls went down on
their knees. In the western part of
Devonshire at twelve o'clock at night on
Christmas Eve, the oxen in their stalls
were always found on their knees. as in
an attitude of devotion. and making a
"cruel moan like Christian creatures"
And it was remarked as singular that
after the alteration of the old style to
the new they continued to do this only
on the eve of the old Christmas day,
which was proof of the faithfulness OF
the OK and his disregard of style.
