Saved too Late.

A young rat once fell into pail Of
pigs food. Six of its older mates, after
taking counsel together, hit on plan
of rescue which they put into force in
spite of human spectators. Twining
their legs together, they hung down the
side of the pail like chain. The lowest
rat then seized the young in its fore
paws, and the pair were both pulled up
The rescued rat was found to be dead, a
fact that seemed to fill its friends with
genuine grief -Littie Folks.

CHRISTMAS.

Cow shall I tell of the ages,
When Christmas was never kept;
1 When the earth, in dark revolution,
Bided her time-and slept?
How speak of the tardy unfolding
OF morn in the crimson East
When loi for the Heavenly Infant
There waited the solemn feastG
The shepherds sing
In slow accord:
ais born our King,
The blessed Lord"
A quiver-as II down the ages
Mortalitys cry echoed still;
So long had 1t voiced every heartbeat,
1t fingered the daybreak TO fill;
Each bitter, discOrdant, low earth-wau
Shocked Heavenly air as it rang;
The Babe breathed; Divinity woke,
And the angels in rapture sang.
The shepherds say,
1--WE seek Him, all.
Look at the Star
Ger Bethlehems stall
The Babe enwrapped in the manger,
His tiny hand folded soft;
That hand, to be put forth for others
In loving strength, so oft;
To be, even in willing submission,
Extended from Calvary,
Now rests on the Mothers bosom,
In beautiful infancy.
The shepherds whisper,
On each knee,
awe bring our gifts,
Lord, to Thee"
That head, on its pillow so tender,
Must wear thorny crown,
Before, the earth-life ended,
Its sacrifice lays down;
-ss5ifT now, oh. gracious promise
OF kingly power and might, {
T. sends out from the little brow ~,
Rays of divinest light.
The shepherds vail
Their faces now;
"To Thee, o Lord,
We humbly bow"
Oh now the pRans rolling,
The anthems meet and blend;
- Give praises, OH give praises,
Forever, without end"
- The Christchild ne'er shall leave rs,
The angels soft do sing;
. But always folded in our hearts,
The Christmas joy shall bring
The shepherds then
Stole soft away,
"The night has flown,
Look! break of day."
What does it mean, this Christmas,
Down from the ages sent?
Out of the lips of a little Child.
What is the message meauty
into one word it is prisoned,
Struck into life and light;
Love is the Christmas-tide message
or Heavenly power and might.
The shepherds far
Upon the plain,
Adore the Lord
OF Love again.
Sing IL in Heavenly chorus,
Sing it in earthly strain,
Wake the dark places with music,
To call down the Lord again.
Sing it mid Christmas jangle
OF bell and childish voice,
And sweet confusion, sing it:
- Our Lord is come! Rejoicew
The Christmas bells
Ger hill and plain
Take up the shepherds
Sweet refrain:
"The child is born
To bring us Love
And Light and Peace
From God above"
