A MOTHERS XMAS STORY.

Mother and were sitting by the fire on
Christmas night. Twenty happy years we
had spent together, almost alone, for father
died before 1 knew him; and we had never
been rich and were perhaps little selfish,
for VIC loved each other SO heartily that wo
could scarcely spare time from each other
for the few OF our own class whom we came
and holding themselves atherhigher, seldom
seemed to need our help or sympathy. We
had plenty of poorer neighbors whom we
loved and who loved US, but they In no way
interfered between us or made the happiness
we felt In being together less complete. It
was only in the last year that new strong
interest had come into our Hives, and this
Harry brought; and ON New Years day he
and were to be married. From the first
moment when he brought me home to mother,
having picked me up from the muddy pave
ment, where had fallen bruised and helpless
in the midst of crowd, she seemed to take
him into her heart, and never from that day
did she let one jealous feeling come between
her and me- OF course, she was to 1.-Two with
US; even Harry could not have made home
for me without her, and the only thing she
ever did which for the moment we thought
hard, was when, week before, she had in
sisted ON Harry's going home for Christmas.
"Go to your father and mother, Harry, and
leave Janet with NO." she said. "Yoq and
she hope to be together all your lives; give us
old folks one more chance of feeling you oil
our own" And Harry. with O look at ME to
see what thought ha agreed.

Three Angels on the First Christmas
Morning.


Three Angels on the First Christmas
Morning.
When God created man He commanded
His angels to visit him on earth and guido
him in his ways, SO that he might have FORE
taste of the bliss Of the life to come. But
man sought after sensual joys in the place of
those in heaven, and growing greedy of
worldly fruits, began to quarrel with bis
neighbors for the possession of them; and
the guardian angels wept among themselves.
But when the strong oppressed the weak and
took from them by force the product of their
toll, Justice rose up sorrowing, and, leaving
earth, few back to heaven. And when tho
weak overcame tho strong with treachery and
deceit, and got from them by cunning what
they feared to take by force, Truth rose up
sorrowing, and, leaving earth, flew back to
heaven. And when the injured went forth
to slay their injurers, and crimsoned the
plain with their brothers blood, Peace rose
up sorrowing, and, leaving the earth, flew
back to heaven
Thus each bad act scared some good angel
from the world, until Forgiveness, the most
beautiful Of all, alone remained behind. And
when she heard Anger and Revenge whisper
dark deeds in mems ears, and counsel them
to repeat that had been done to them, she
rose up sorrowing and said:
u will not leave the EARTH While my
sister angels were here I might have rested
in my Fathers bosom, for man needed me
pot; but now that they have fled, will seek
to make man listen to my voice, telling him
that as he cherished forgiveness here, so that
forgiveness will cherish him hereafter.
At that moment o new and most beautiful
star bIazed in the heavens It was the star
Of Bethlehem Pointing to- It Forgiveness
said, aBehold, tho light of the world. 1t

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

A little way up one of the Rhcatian Alps,
beneath the shade of an old black pine, grew
Christmas ross.* The summer had passed,
and the short days had come, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds. Dear me-"
fretted the rose, "I wish I could blossom
when other plants do There would be some
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
with no one to admire me, see no use In
blooming at all"
"Hol ho!" laughed tho old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, "Ho! no! what little grunl-
bier. The snow and will admire You. You
are named after the blessed Christ child, and
ought to bo happy and contented. Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
end expand your buds into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for wise purpose, and we
shall know what it is when the time comes
if"-
Just then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was quite out of breath, and for
some reason he never renewed the converse
tion.
aAll the world is dead except the pine and
me" murmured the rose, "and perhaps had
better follow his advice If I was made for
wise purpose shall not be forgotten" So
she took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white snow.
Now; the two little children of Klotz, the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick. and that morning the
kind neighbor who had watched by her side
through the night had said, "God pity this
home;, fear your mother will die before
night Their father sat by the fireplace,
speechless with grief and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort. So at last they stole out
of the door, and hand in hand, wandered o
short way up tho mountain side, following
the forester's tracks till they came in sight Of
the old black pine.
