In Baltimore last week there was
a protest to the Mayor against
granting permits to peddlers and
beggars, and blind ones at that,
when the argument was used that
in Massachusetts the laws we're so
and so. History and statistics show
that Massachusetts is model christ
ian State, with the beggars chained
and the devil at large. Christ said
that the poor you have always with
you, but modern christianity tries to
lump them as much as possible in
poor houses, jails and warehouses;.
The suppression of poverty and
vagrancy is not so easy. They are
elements found in every country
that ever existed, and we (who may
be so Fortunately will be apt TO find
them in the kingdoms to come
That's what worries some people,
but no need, Baltimore and Massa-
chusetts' relations to Heaven are
like New jerseys to the United
States,-O-u-t.

THE WATCH ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

Close by the chimney, on Christmas eve,
Are huddled two tiny forms
The rafters creak and the windows
shrek.
And the night is wild with storms.
lis lonely watch, for the spector doubt
Has entered childish breast,
And faith tonight must be lost in sight,
And the spirit laid at rest.
. Are you sure he'll Gomez" says tiny
voice,
: Oh, say you are certain quite
Oh. what could we do if it shouldn't be
true,
And nobody came tonight !"
But the sweeter tones of childish trust
Break in on the others doubt;
"Oh, never you fear, you ii see him here
When the midnight bells ring out. "
" Perhaps they told us story, though,
You see we're such little boys;
I should feel SO bad, if thought they
had,
That I hate the Christmas toys.
Do you think lie II care for the wind and
rain
They say he's getting old
With that heavy pack on his poor hump
back,
And the night is SO very cold !"
6 tell you the reindeer brings him here,
And the load of toys is light;
His coat is warm: and he laughs at storm
know he come tonight.
There never can be doubt, say,
Oh, never cause to fear
Our watch we'll keep while the others
sleep.
And we're to see him here.'
But the minutes drag, and the small heads
droop,
When soft through the parlor door
Two shadows creep, while the bright eyes
sleep,
For the bold night watch is o 'er.
They cram the stockings with loads of
toys,
And then, with stealthy tread,
They lift each form in its night-gown
warm,
And put the watchers to bed.

have had a hand to hand encounter
with life they feel so strong and con-
fident they believe they can do any,
thing, and this very belief, mark
you, is what makes the phenomenal
successes we so often admire and
wonder at. The Spaniards have a
proverb, "He who expects good
luck will get it," and it is as true a
sentence as ever was penned. Be
lieve you can do anything, and you
can, if any one can do it. Success
