The father talked wildly to the way.

Ihe father talked wildly to the way
farers who came now and then to lift
his latch-string for q nights shelter by
the cabin fire. He repeated. in wretch
ness, that retribution had overtaken
him. AS cruelty as he had fed from
the wife of his youth, his girl had gone
from him. Not all his love or care
could prevent her from giving the blow
which fate had reserved for him. Nut
tering, or silent and glowering, the
weeks and months found him, until ut
last he disappeared from his home and
wa lost forever to human view.
This is the story the guide told me as
we stood by the f~ireless hearth Of that
deserted home.
She died, poor girl-died of a broken
heart.
For those who dwell in lowlands, the
roses bloom; for creeping things there
are the MOSES and the %violets. Each
plane in life has it's own corresponding,
accomplishing loneliness. Let him who
lives in rose-thickets be content, nor
seek to pluck the blossoms of the crags;
nor he who roams the SHOWS think to
keep in its freshness the rose that nature
left in warmer climes.
She died, SO the story runs, on Christ
mas Eve. Many years ago ut Christmas
time, in the dazzling radiance of a
moonlight night, wanderers on the
snow slopes saw q phantom gliding On
pearly snowshoes over the glittering
peaks. She was shroudod in white,
and out other pale face her eyes gleam-
ed like midnight stars. From oun
tain to mountain she wandered, and her
hands were full of blood-red blossoms,
that she kissed with lips as cold as they.
Every year since her earth life ended
the dead girl r~evisits her early home.
On those fields of snow, fit for IN an
gels feet, before the Christmas morn
breaks in the East, this unforgetting
spirit walks on high. Sometimes she is
seen mufiled in clouds; sometimes the
blossoms in her hands make rudy
patches in the wintry sky. Her voiceis
heard in the wailing songs of the rest
less winds, and the fall of her snow
shoes echoes like silver sleet down the
mountain side.
That the Divine Jesus, whose birth
day We celebrate, brings holy thoughts
to men by devious means is not unlike.
Whatever makes men lift their eyes
raises the soul; whether the sweep o.
wings that startled the shepherds, cl

turns the face upward to the gaze Of
God.
Lo, not unmeet is it that at the time
when, ofold, the angel-heralded Christ
child came, all along the sides of the
solemn Sierras. the lowly, the lonely
the wretched, the wicked, gaze upward
for the form of the pure maiden, wht
loves and haunts the snow-range of tn,

Children are told to be good that the,
may see the beautiful lady who wa
taken from her home on high, treated
so cruelty, and killed by wicked men
And at midnight, along the western
peaks, eyes dim, patient or blearedloo
upward into the lonely night for til

tain of the children Of the parish. In
the early ages the bishops sang them
among their clergy.
In all these things children have their
share, being the principal ones to enjoy
them; while with the "Mummers" q lit
tie girl goes, having no other part than
that OF carrying q branch of Christmas
green. The Christmas.trec, which is
the most positive feature of children's
Christmas nowadays, was not much
known, if at all, among the English
speaking children till after the good
Prince Albert came to England.
The very fact that Christmas mea a
rite celebrating the day of Christ's birth
gives children an especial claim upon
the day which belongs to the Holy Child,
and one of the appellations of whose
patron saint is Kriss Kringle, which
means the Christ Child.

the 800 and handed it to Crockett, who
for the first time began to realize his

of a friend, he got up, dressed himself,
and tried to stand on his head in the

Crockett never had $500 at one time

fireman to the reporter. "To be sure he
gets $40 a month as engineer, but he
isn't much of o hand at saving. The

THE FLIGHT OF SOULS.

Like the riso and set of the starry host
Earth's myriads come and go;
But whence VIC speed through the infinite
spaces
Speed as the light and leave no traces
And what the calm on the pale cold faces,
And whittier we pass to our shining places
By far celestial isle and coast,
lord, we may not know.
In the hush of the holy Christmas tide
1 think of the fight of souls;
And over the doubts our faith denying,
The prayers and tears that bewail the dying
The hearts wild sorrow, the fruitless signing
For forms beloved in the lone grave lying
Sweet as it rang by Bethlchem's side
The song of the angels rolls.
And the peace of God-thy pe~ace-descends
Asthe strain floats high and free;
And, all my fears to the darkness throwing,
l know that the stars the azure strewing,
And the souls, like q river ceaseless flowing,
Forever and ever to Thee are going
To the love that life and death attends,
And the glory thati is to be!

sometimes to other dark eyes like them,
which in his early manhood had been
lode-stars of destiny; if the fond name,

mentioned his old life to no one. He
spoke of his wife and children but once

The air was still DER Bethlehem's plain.
A. u the great night held it's breath,
When life eternal came to reign
Over Q world Of death.
All nature felt a thrill divine
When burst that meteor on,the night
Which, pointing to the Savior's shrine.
Proclaimed the newborn light.
Light to the sheperds and the star
Gldea their silent midnight fold
Light to tho wise men from afar,
Bearing their gifts of gold
Light to o realm of sin and grief;
Light to o world in all its needs:
The Light of life-a new belief
Rising DER fallen creeds.
Light on a tangled path of thorns,
Though leading to o martyrs throne:
light to guide till Christ returns
In glory to His own.
There still 1t shines, while far abroad
The Christmas choir sings now, as then;
'Glory, glory unto our God!
Peace and good will to men!"

maiden was stirred deepest, when on q

into the frozen crater of jewels. Then
the valley shone in a white SPLEEN

hung dumb and m%otionless, suspended
by an unseen hand, trailing miles of
crushed jewels, opal and sapphire, and
emerald. Ell Captain lifted his white
plume among the army about him. The
exquisite Bridal Veil swept i'll frosty

Cathedral Spires rose crystal clear into
the blue sky, and ON Clouds Rest, the
white drifting nimbus of the sky
