greeting--The brightness Of all the year
will dawn next Friday morning will
dawn upon little sleeping children, bring
ing glad morning of tender thought
and loving remembrance; will dawn
gladly for youth and for maiden will
dawn serenely and with happy cheer,
for their elders. And with this thought
comes the memory of a life heralded to
earth by angels, growing to boyhood full
Of knowledge and wisdom and yet sim
pie and loving and child-like; reaching
manhood strong, with reserve force, vet
very pitiful, very gentle, to sin and sim
ners. Enduring, patient, able at any time
to call a legion Of angels to his aid, and
yet he suffered reproach and condemna-
ton to the end, and left this earth, ascend
ing into heaven, his hands spread in
benediction for all humanity. The inf
mite blessing Of his life, the peace found
through love Of him, the good will to-
ward man, because of his infinite COM
passion for man remains with us. Not
any earthly thing can exceed, the pure
happiness of peace, and good will which
his sacred living and his sacred dying
conferred upon passion tost world. So
we are happy because he bids us JOY in
him. and we welcome with solemn and
loving rejoicing the season of his birth,
glad that this gift came down from God
to man,aad making our little human type
Of gifts and good will, to all about us en-
blems of the beautiful life, and the beau
tiful Christ-mas-tide.

At Christmas be merry and thankful withall,
And feast thy oorneighbors the great and the small

Lo, now is come our joyfulst feast!
Let every man be jolly,
Each room with ivy leaves is drest,
And every post with holly.
Now all our neighbors' cbimneys smoke
And Christmas sticks are burning,
Their ovens they with bak't meats choke
And all their splits are turning.
Without the door let snow lie,
And il, for cold, it hap to die,
Well bring it in a Christmas pie
And ever more be merry.
Come, bring with noise
My merry, merry boys,
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame she,
Bids ye all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring.

"Well-yes. 1 think 1 should" said
DR.. Jones, carelessly. His case rather

into a small sitting-room, where he
found Mr.. William Roberts, whose ac-
auaintance he had made the previous
day. Mr.. Roberts gave palpable start
as his visitor entered, but Immediately

CASTOR Foot-Gear.

Hundreds of men, women and even
boys, in New York, are engaged in the
business" of collecting old boots and
and shoes, which they take to the wall
paper factories, where they receive
from FIVE to fifteen cents per pair. Calf
skin boots bring the best price, while
cowhide ones are not taken at any
figure. These boots and shoes are first
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
of, and then the nails and threads are
removed and the leather is ground up
into fine pulp. Then it is pressed
upon a ground of heavy paper, which
is to be used in the manufacture OF
embossed leather" Fashionable peo-
pie think they are going away back to
medieval times when they have the
walls of their libraries and dining
rooms covered with this, and remain in
blissful ignorance that the shoes and
boots which their neighbors threw into
the ash-barrel a month before now
adorn their walls and hang on the
screens which protect their eyes from
the fire. Carriage-top makers and
book-binderS. also buy old boots and
shoes, the former to make leather-tops
for carriages and the latter leather
bindings for the cheaper grades OF
books. The new style of leather frames
with leather mats in them are entirely
made of the cast-off covering of our
feet.-UticG Herald.
