emotions of HIS own being, in the hope
of their becoming tell-tales of all he so
wished. How tenderly He would carry
the weaklings of the herd down the
sleeps and over the stony places! He
loved them and they loved Him. The
herdsmen of Nazareth were ignorant
and poor; still they complied with the
law, and at least once every year
went up to Jerusalem after the Gus
tom of the feast. In theprocession on
one such occasion there was family,
the head of which was a plain,
serious-looking, middle-aged man,
with whom the world has
since become acquainted as Joseph
His wife, Mary, was then about twen-
ty-seven years of age, gentle, modest,
sweet-spoken, offair complexion, with
eyes ofviolet-blue, and hair half brown,
half gold. She rode a donkey. James,
Joses, Simon and Jude, full-grown
sons of Joseph, walked with their ia
ther. A child of Mary, twelve years
old, walked near her. 1t is not at all
likely that the group attracted special
attention from their ow-travelers.
The peace of the Lord be with your

return in kind. More than eighteen
hundred years have passed since that
obscure family made that pious
pilgrimage. Could they come back
and make it now, the singing
shouting, and worship that would go
with them would be without end;
not Solomon in all his glory, nor
Caesar, nor any Or all of the modern
kings, would have such attendance.
Let us single out the boy, that we
may try and see Him as was-afoot
like His brethren, small, growing, and
therefore slender. His attire was sim
pie; on His head whitehandkerchiet,
held in place by a cord, one corner turn
ed under at theforehead, the eother cor
ners loose. A tunic, also white, COW
cred Him from neck to knees, girt at
the waist. His arms and legs were
bare; on His feet were sandals of the
most primitive kind, being soles of
ox-hide attached to the ankles by
leathern straps. He carried a stick
that was much taller than Himself.
The old painters, called upon to
render this childish figure on
canvas, would have insisted up
on distinguishing it with a nimbus

thing of natural boyish freedom; to
have little playmates, run races with
the youngest of the focks, deck Him
self from the anemone beds on the
hills, and watch the clouds form SLOW
ly about the summit of old Hermon.
1t must be noted, however, that this
period was shorter with Him than with
our lads, for the terrible Talmudic
rules fell upon Him early, after which
there was small chance to enjoy boy
hood according to our ideas of it's en-
joyment. By overwhelming men,
women, and children with duties, they
put existence in iron jackets. To neg
lect the rules, or the least OF them, was
to invoke perdition. And besides"
Uncle Midas drew his gray cap we'll
down, and meditated O. moment. I
was about to say he then continued,
"that there was another cause to cut
short the jocund marginal period of
our Lord which must not be over
looked-a cause peculiar to Himself,
and, in my judgment, more infuen-
tial even than the Talmudic rules.
His precocity was miraculous. At
a time when other children are
muling in their mothers arms, the
cells of His understanding began to en-
large and fill with knowledge. The
process must have been like the grad
ual rise of water in the basin of q
spring; at all events the knowledge was
of a kind to make Him prematurely
serious, and it was not derived from
books or schoolmasters."
"You think the angels waited upon
Him?" interposed Nan.
The question was asked with such
artlessness that Uncle Midas, who had
been talking with self-concentration,
looked at her half startled.

was lost to all the claims of boyhood.
In the good old language so nearly de-

grace of God was upon Him.
"Well, if He did not play as other
children He at least went to school,"
one of the auditors said; and Uncle
Midas hastened to reply:
eff Nazareth had school-and the
better opinion is that the village was
not so favored-it is to be kept in
mind that scholars could not be ad-
mitted before the age of six, and that
all instruction was limited to the
law, and was entirely oral. The
master sat on a raised seat; the chill
dren, on the floor, simply repeated
what he recited to them until they
knew the lesson by heart. After six
years-certainly after He came to
know Himself-our Lord was taught,
1 think, by His mother. She may have
initiated Him in the alphabet earlier;
anyhow delight in imagining the two
at work. The torah is spread upon
her knee. He has a hand over her
shoulder, she an arm about His waist;
He is quick to apprehend; their voices
are low and sweet; at times they turn
to each other, and it is the old story.
Soft eyes looked love to eyes that spake

blonde hair, which the wind has
taken liberties with and tossed

leaving doubt whether they are
brown or violet, like His mothers;
yet they are large and health
fully clear, and still retain the paral-
lelism of arch between brow and up
per lid usually the characteristic of
children and beautiful women. The
nose is of regular inward curve, joined

At the feet of the Sistine Madonna,
beyond peradventure the most di-
vinely perfect Mother and Child in
group, there are two little cherubs in
imitably suggestive of mischievous
urchins; but examine them closely
next time, and see what knowledge is
conveyed in the expression of their
countenances. Raphael painted them
con amore, meaning that he believed
in them-and so do I. do not think
such ministers go with us common
mortals. Goodness help them if they
do! That they went with the divine
Child, however, l am quick to believe.
They watched Him with jealous care;
they foated on the clouds above
Him; they trod the air in His chamber;
they. gave color, direction, purity
and strength to His thought. His
mother may have taught Him the AL
phabet, but neither she nor the teach
ers in the synagogue could have helped
Him to that other rarer and higher
learning in the light ofwhich the hearts
of those about Him were as primers
for easy reading. Through what hui
man agency was it that before Hewas
a man He was master of a lore which
Hillel had not been able to obtain
with all his one hundred and twenty
years of studious life? X

"Well," he answered, ''let us see.

and deepening wonderful,

such man should be so
beggarly of authentic incident!

the generality of poor Jewish chill

II can't believe that, uncle" said
Puss, with show of indignation.
The old gentleman looked at her
benignantly.
"Nor can l." he said. 'They say
that Joseph, to whom as a. child our
Lord was subject, was a carpenter
who piled only the humber branches
of the trade, and that Mary, his wife,
spun the flax and wool for the family,
and was housewife. These are the
circumstances chiefly relied upon to
support the theory that the econidtion
of the child was poverty. Now while
I admit the circumstances, deny the
conclusion. That Joseph was a car
penter signifies nothing, as the law re-
quired every Israelite, rich or poor, to
follow some occupation. Then was it

There was a decided movement
amongst the audience at these words.

be carried away again. The rustic,
however, brought him back to his
subject.

it becomes impossible for me to think
they did not te Him all they knew
about him. I prefer to believe the
story came first from her. She knew
it best; she loved Him most; and as
to the time the tale was told, exact

we may be sure, was auspicious; she

lay upon her breast; from that soft,
