Three Angels on the First Christmas
az. -. Morning. sts.-


When God created man He commanded
His angels to visit him on earth and guide
him In his ways, SO that lie might have a fore
Taste of the bliss of the life to come. Eut
man sought after sensual joys in tho place of
those in heaven, and growing greedy of
worldly fruits, began to quarrel with his
neighbors for the possession Of them; and
the guardian angels wept among themselves.
But when the strong oppressed tho weak and
took from them by force The product of their
toll, Justice rose mp Borrowing. and, leaving
earth. flew back to heaven. And when the
weak overcamo tho strong with treachcry and
deceit, and got from them by cunning what
they feared to take by force, Truth rose up
Borrowing, and, leaving Garth, few back to
heaven. And when tho injured went forth
to slay their injurers, and ciimsoned the
plain with their brothers blood, Peace rose
up Borrowing, and, leaving the earth, flow
back to heaven
Thus each bad act scared some good angel
from the world, until Forgiveness, tho 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
roso up Borrowing and said: ...
u win not leave the earth. While my
sister angels were here / might have rested
In my Fathers bosom, for man needed mo
not; but now that they have fled, will seek
to mako man listen to my voice, telling him
that as he cherished forgiveness here, SO that
will cherish him hereafter"
At that moment new and most beautiful
ctar blazed in the heavens. It was the star
of Bethlehem. Pointing to it Forgiveness
said, "Behold, tho light of the world. 1t
shines as a promise that will ever dwell
upon the earth" And Peace and Love, re-
pointing. few back and have never since left
the earth. SO the lovelest angels of heaven
came home to the world OH the first Christ
mas morning.

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

A little way up one of tho Rhcetian Alps,
beneath the shade Of an old black piuc, grew
Q Christmas rose.s The summer had passed.
and the short days had come, when tho wind
blows md the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds "Dear me-"
fretted the rose, II wish I could blossom
when other plants do. There would be some
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
blue Rentian or the pretty eyebright, but
with no ono to admire me, see no use In
blooming ut ALL .as- a
"IIo! hol" laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, @Ho! no! what little grum-
blor. The snow aud win admire you. You
are named after the blessed Christ child, and
ought to DO happy and contented Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
and expand your buds into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for q wise purpose, and we
shall know what IL is when the time comes
If
Just then the north wind blew 90 hard the
old pine was quite out of breath, and for
some reason no never renewed the converse
ton.
"All tho world Is dead except the pine and
me-" murmured the rose, "and perhaps had
better follow his advice. II was made for
Q wise purpose shall not be forgotten so
she took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas tho black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, pcering up
through the white snow.
Now, the two little children Of Klotz, the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbrobcn, for
their mother was sick. aud that morning the
kind ncighbor who had watched by her side
through the night had said, "God pity this

CHRISTMAS.

Hang up the vine AMI the holly,
Sign the cross over the door,
That joy coming in with the Christmas,
HAY go from the place nevernore.
Gather love gifts for the children,
Guard well the mystical way,
. That the Christ child comes at the midnight
TO bless with bright favors the day.
Bring in good cheer and be merry,
Dance and ring out glad song;
The stars OF Bethlehem desert
Looked down on Christ happy throng.
Go ye IN bowel and highway,
t:ucSts TO bring IN to the feast;
Angels shall unawnres greet ye
In those the world counteth as least.
Sound the sweet Christ loving anthem
Echoes will bear 1t on high
To the angels made joyous forever
by Christmas of love In tho sky.
Bow down and worship the spirit
Of the feast, the invisible King
L.! He cometh in scarlet and purple
To gather worlds offering.

In holly and yew bedight;
When the faces of ALL tine young, the old,
Were trimming with sparkling cheer
Aye, those were the times when Christmas chimes
We're the merriest sounds Of tine year!

While the snow was wagering down,
And the iciclcs hung from my beard flung

And wrapped myself in my grizzly coat,
And lit my pipe with coal f5sr
From IIecla's crest, where stopped to rest,
On my way from the Northern Pole. r

And warm with an inward glee;
For thought of the mirths Of thousand hearts,
Where the little ones watched for me.

And the roliiching, roguish boys.
