AT CHRISTMAS.
BY j. +. {.

The snow is falling thick and white,
AMI wind blows through the street.
And in the dark and chilly night
Wanders child with weary feet.
His parents dwell beyond the sky
Brother or sister He has none
To Heavens bright shore He lifts His eye,
No friend has He beneath the sun.
Warm clothes protect the rich from cold.
In stately mansions, too, they dwell;
The child unheeded plods along,
To none ares He His grief to tell
To-day all hearts beat with delight.
Comfort, and joy, and peace, He brings
Oh thank God for this blessed Night.
But see, alas the poor sad boy
Who wanders there through wind and storm,
No Christmas gift will bring Him JOY,
BY all the world He is forgot
For, hark a sound of voices sweet.
Like angel-choirs from yonder room,
With heavenly notes His ears now greet -
% holy Night. which hast brought down
The blessed Child to US below,
Who gavsst US the longed Tor peace.
O holy Night, We hail thee now
For He who turns to Jesus Christ
Who trusts in Him in all his woes
To him in life is comfort sent.
Blest who in trouble to Him goes
Boon the sweet song is ut an end,
But still the child stands listening there
He clasps his little stffened hands.
Forgotten now is all his care;
Yet to that window he must 20
How eagerly he greets the lights.
A Christmas-tree his eyes behold,
Covered with dazzling tapers bright.
With beaming faces round the tree
Stand young and old, in JOY and peace:
o happy Night. with what great gIee
Thou ever tllest children's hearts.
The boy is standing still alone
His limbs are stiff with cold and frost,
Weared He sinks down on a stone
From hunger's pangs He suffers most.
Exhausted soon He falls asleep,
His little head rests on the stone:
snowy shroud, all white and deep
Covers the little One all round.
But God, Who never leaves His own,
Has heard that good Child's fervent prayer:
Thus those within now see the boy,
And take Him to their tender care.
Gently the mother on her arm
Bears the poor lifeless little child:
Safe sheltered now from every harm,
She brings Him to the warm, bright Toom.
Warm milk into His mouth she pours
She rubs His little stifened limbs:
Until at last His life returns,
And bright tear His face bedimS.
The Child wakens with delight,
And gazes round the brilliant room:
He thinks He sees Heavens golden light
Though real, to Him 1t seems y dream
All now advance to greet the boy,
And heartily they shake His hand:
Share with US in a mutual joy
The gifts which God to us has sent
Through night and woe He led Thee here,
So wonderfully to our door;
Oh, stay with us, We ne'er will part,
Be Son and Brother evermore'
Upward they lift their happy gaze
To the good Father in the heaven
Him in the joyful song they praise
Who to them all such bliss has given
% holy Night. which hast brought down
The blessed Child to us below,
Who gavest US the longed for peace,
y holy Night, we hail thee now
For He who turns to Jesus Christ,
Who trusts in Him In all his woes.
To him in life is comfort sent,
Blest who in trouble to Hin goes

At the castle Satan mingled unseen
among his friends, like the spirit in the
punch, which steamed in great bowls
on the table, and quickened the pulse
of the guests to keep pace with the
music of the orchestra. The dancers
whirled like dry leaves in the wind
which comes before a thunder storm.
Satan himself, with invisible hand,
snuffed the candles for he meant them
to burn three times as long as the lights
in the cottage by the lake.
The servants in the castle were either
busy with the refreshments, or gazing
in through the open doors of the dane
ing-room. Only the huntsman was
quite alone, down in the cellar, which
ran under the whole building; and
Satan did not think of HIM, for among
SO much company it was easy to forget
one old friend. The old topper would
fain have discovered long ago what
sort of wine was kept in the little side
vault, into which a narrow door opened
from the large cellar. A better oppor-
tunlty Of finding out the mysterious
contents of this vault could never occur.
So he lit the kitchenmaid's lamp, took
the cellarer's bunch of keys, and went
down. The lamp burnt too dimly to
please him he therefore filled a cup
with brandy, took handful or two out
of the cellarer's basket, set fire to it,
and threw it on the spirits. \ great
blue fame now lit up the vault. Then
he opened the little slide door, rolled
out one of the twenty small casks which
lay there, bored hole in it, put in a
tap, and laid the cask on a stand, think
ing to taste its contents at his leisure.
But there was no wine in it; only coarse
black powder, which ran out through
the tap like sand. \ quantity of gun
powder had been left in this cellar since
the time of the Thirty Years War, be-
cause it was too coarse to be used in
hunting, The huntsman stared in as
tonishment at the powder running out
on the floor. But not for long. Down
from the open cellar-door came a
draught of air, and carried spark from
the burning tow into the powder. AT
that moment the angel before the hut
| by the lake saw the copper roof
of the castle rise, and give
place to a great column of
smoke. a terrible explosion followe d.
And now the heavenly messenger knew
why he had been sent to protect the
| dwellerS in the hut, for he had enough
to do to ward off from its lowly roof
the heavy fragments of the ruin. In
deed, if he had not spread out his
wings like hen over her brood, the
fearful shock of the explosion would
have thrown the little hut into the lake.
Frightened at the report, the fisher
man and his son ran to the door, just
in time to see the great pillar of smoke
sink down and spread out over the
lake. The four walls of the castle
were yet standing, and the moon shone
from behind through the vacant win
dows and doors. Not spark of light
glimmered up there now, and all was
still as death. Only the lake was agi-
tated by the fragments which had
fallen into it. Greatly shocked, the
father and son turned back into their
cottage, thanked God for their Won
drous and mercitul deliverance, and
put out their lights.
