when suddenly the hall door opened
and the fOOtman, veNed at the sight OF
such a rabble, drove them away with
angry words.
Thad started to remove his aWk-
ward bundle, but in his haste the child
slipped from his grasp andfell scream
inc to the area below. Thad followed
him over the railing, almost head
foremost, and carried him away,
speaking many words of comfort. AS
his bruises were not serious, the
thought that tomorrow would be
Christmas brought the smiles again to
his face, especially as Thad carried
him to the corner to take one more
admiring view OF the painted soldier
which for months had been the chief
ornament in the window of the little
shop at the corner and which 'Ihad
had promised to purchase as a Christ
mas gift for the little boy.
Christmas day dawned brightly.
Thad, as usual, rose very early and
started to purchase his morning pa
pers, but no fumbling could bring
from the depths of that ragged pocket
the little bag containing his money. The
evening before, when Thad went tum-
bling over the railingin his haste to res
cue little Willie, the ragged purse had
fallen to the pavement and there tire
manned through the darkness OF the
night. Itcontained but small sum
only the amount daily invested IN
the papers, a dollarfor the week S rent,
and the little sum which was to pur-
chase the painted soldier and perhaps
an orange or a stick ofcandy for little
Willie's Christmas. But to Thad this
sum was fortune; it hewas hap
Ply and independent; having lost 1t he
Morris tribune., 1885-12-23

ers. He easily recognized the descrlp-
ton of his forlorn costume. Hoping
to find him in the usual place at the
corner, he took the purse in his hand.
Several boys who had papers to sell
were eager to inform him that Thad,
having lost his money, had retired
from the newspaper business. From
these boys, however, he received
directions by which he found his way
to the court where Thad lived and ar
rived there just as the poorfellow was
screwing up his courage to tell grand
mother of his loss. You can imagine
how his face frightened at the sight of
the lost treasure, and when dollar
was added as q Christmas gift from
this kind gentleman, his Joy was too
great for utterance, and the tears,
which until that moment he had man
fully restrained, coursed down his
cheeks
So this day, which seemed so dark
in the beginning, proved to be the very
happiest of days, the opening ofa bet
ter and happier life for this whole fam
lily. Through the influence of this new
friend the boys became members OF a
Sunday school. Thad was furnished
with respectable clothing and with q
place in a warehouse, where his faith
full services we're rewarded by rapid
advancement. Willie soon entered
the public school and by his amiabil-
ity and intelligence won the esteem of
his teachers.
And now years have passed. Thad
has boys and girls OF his own. Sever
al of them are pupils in the school, of
which Uncle Willie is the principal; and
always on Christmas eve, as they
light the candles on their own Christ
mas tree, he tells them the story of
his first view of Christmas tree, and
thanks the kind heavenly Father
for sending the help of that kind
Christian man IN that time of great
need. GRACE.

The "Star of Bethlehem

Professor c. A. Grimmer, Of Kings
ton, Jamaica, who is a scientist OF
fame, recently made some wonderful
prophecies in connection with the
planets and other heavenly bodies.
He SAYS of the "Star of Bethlehem"
In 1887 the Star of Bethlehem will
once more be seen in ''CaSSeOpia' s
chair,' and will be accompanied by a
total eclipse Of the sun and moon.
The star only makes its appearance
every three hundred Years and fifteen
years. 1t will appear and illuminate
the heavens. and exceed in brilllanCy
even Jupiter when in opposition to
the sun, and therefore nearer to the
sun and brightest. The marvellous
brilliancy OF the Star OF Bethlehem"
in 1887 will surpass any thepreVious
visitations. 1t will be seen even in
noonday, shining. with a quick, flash
ing light, the entire year, after which it
will gradually decrease in brllllancy
and finally disappear, not to return
to our heavens until POOP or 81
Morris tribune., 1885-12-23

We live as if we should not die
Blindly, but wisely, too;
For if we knew death, always nigh,
What would wesay or do,
But fold our hands, and close our eyes,
And care no more who lives or dies?
If death to each man il his turn
Is coming, soon or late,
Be ours the soldiers unconcern
And his courageous fate;
Better to perish in the strife,
Than to preserve the towards life.
Before my hearts fire bordering long,
AS twere a bivOuac,
| heard last night this solemn song,
Which have summoned back.
1t seems my somber mood to cheer,
And is my greeting to the Year.
New Year, if you are bringing Youth,
AS you are bringing Age,
| would not have it back, in sooth;
have no strength to wage
Lost battles over. Let them be.
Bury your dead, . Memory.
You can bring nothing will surprise
And nothing will dismay.
No tears again in those old eyes,
No darkness in my day.
You might bring light and smiles instead
If you could give me back my dead.
I l have beheld your kiss, New Year,
Full fifty times and none
That was so happy and so dear,
wept when it was done.
Why should we weep when years depart,
And leave their ashes in the heart?
Good-by, since you are gone, Old Year,
And my past life good-by,
shed no tear upon your bier,
For it is we'll to die.
New Year, your worst will be my best,
What can an old man want but rest?

January gray is here,

The idea seems to be that the old
year has not thoroughly and satisfac-
torily departed, carrying with it all
that was unpleasant about it, until
"May's fairest flowers have been
born. Shelley and Wordsworth are
therefore at loggerheads on the ques-
ton of the date of the commencement
of the poetical new year. The former
thinks it commences with Mays flow

Come back to me when Joy bells ring
With sweet and cheering sound,
Those bells that say "a year is dead;

Aye. king, ere yet the echoing chime

And though the wintry winds oft sing
The dead kings funeral song
We know that round the newborn king

Very early in the morning the purse

and the commencement of the new.
He Observes
THUS times do shift.
Each thing his turn does hold;
New things succeed
AS former things grow old"
LOngfelow deals with the calendar
as he finds it, and sees in the shorten
ing of the days as December advances
and the growing intensity of the
frost as January approaches the
dying struggles of the old year. He
says
eyes, the yearis growing old,
And his eye is pale and bleared!
Death with frosty hand and cold
Plucks the old man by the beard"
Four poets, therefore, favor four
different months as the starting points
of each new year. Longfellow selects
January; Herrick, February; Words
worth, March; and Shelley, May. 1t is
evident that calendars cannot be reg
ulated by poets. Like doctors, they
disagree on the very first point gov
erning the preparation of an almanac.
The fixing of the date of the opening
year must be left to prOsy men, and
by prosy men January l has been
selected, January let it be.
