CHRISTMAS DAY.

Unto you is born this day. in the city of d
i'd, a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord.-t
axe ii. II.
Children, rise Through all the east
Dawns our happy Christmas feast;
Praise the newborn Prince of glory,
Angels harps have rung before ye:
They last night, in joyous tone,
10 the shepherds, watching lone,
While their dazzled eyes grew dim,
Poured their Saviour's birthday hymn.
Come to hail your infant King!
All good men are worshiping,
Where within the church are seen
Brightest wreathS of evergreen;
And the berries. red, that grow,
Smiling through the winters snow,
Like the child who looks so bright,
On world of sin and night.
With glad hearts and cheerful faces
Come to your accustomed places;
Year by year, and day by day,
Here we praise Him, here VIC pray;
Here we read His wondrous story,
Singing to our Lord in glory,
Who came down on earth to be q
Once poor, weak child like We.
From the holy heavenly place,
Where He saw his Fathers face,
Where bright bands of angels watt
To the poor mans mean estate,
Lowry, deSolate, opprest:
To maiden mothers breast;
To the smiles, soon lost in tears,
And the pains of infant years.
By His lowly gracious birth,
Gods Own Son on this poor earth,
From our birth-right here below,
Sin, and death, and shame, and wee,
le are freed and born anew,
Ye must live as Christians do,
Praying Him, to Whom were known,
Childhood's griefs, to help His Own.
Haste We to our birthday feast;
Not the meanest, not the least,
High or low, should turn away
Christ, our King was born to-day.

WHO ARE RICH ?-The man with good,
firm health is rich. So is the man with
clear conscience. So is the parent of vigor-
Gus children. So is the editor of a good paper
with big subscription list. So is the clergy
man whose coat the children pluck as he pass
es them by in their play. So is the wife who
has the whole of the heart ola good husband.
So is the child who goes to sleep with kiss
on its lips and for whose waking blessing
awaits So is the maiden whose horizon is
not bounded by the coming man, but who
has purpose in life, whether she meet him
or not. So is the young man, who, laying
his hand on his heart, can say; 81 have treat

Brodie dropped into East River. The
printers and pressmen employed on the

ingdon, husband OF the famous Countess of
Huntingdon, one night, ut his house in
Downing street, Whitehall, had q strange
dream, which proved in his case to be 81

markable that he was a man of singular
serenity of mind, and of habitua good
health, and had hardly over dreamt ia his
life before. He dreamt that he saw a skel.

after standing willie, untnck ed the bed

der the clothes TO tho top Of the bed, and
lay between him ard the countess, who WAS

THE ROYAL PALACE OF MADRID.-Jhe
royal palace of Madrid is one of the most
colossal and one of the most magnificent
royal residences in the world. The site
which it occupies is said to be that Of the
original outpost Acazar of the Moors, whore

of this by fire on Christmas eve, 1884, Philip
V. set on foot tho construction of residence
which he intended TO make into rival of
Versailles. The first design, by Felipe dc
Jubara. Scilian, was even Of more ambi-
tious dimensions than that actually carried
out afterward by another architect, Giovan
nj Sacchetti, Of Turin. This plan, though
smaller and less costly than the original
one, embraced the formation Of q block Of
buildings 47O feet square and 100 feet in
height, though the wings Of the stapendous
eaiice have never been completed. so vast
indeed, are its dimeutons, SO noble its acch-
tecturnl design, and SO splendid ts internal
decoration, that when Napoleon the Great
paid visit to Madrid 10 SEQ his brother Jo-
