"If all the mothers in the world were dying
that hard old pine would not care" said the
boy, bitterly "Let US go back into the val
ley, sister; there we will find good people,
with kind hearts, while here there is no one
to care for u.s.
There is one who cares for us even here,'
cried the sister, spying the Christmas roses,
and in moment she had scraped away the
snow and plucxed them. "We had forgotten
the Christ child, and that tomorrow is His
birthday. Let us take the roses to the
church, and there pray that our mothers life
may be spared
So they hastened down the mountain to the
village church, where they found the good
pastor busy trimming the altar for the Christ
mas festival He took the flowers and put
them, with some feathery moss, into tall
white vase. Then he lxnelt with the children
and prayed for their mothers life, and the
roses nodding on their stems smiled as though
the gift asked for were already granted.
When they returned home their father met
them at the door and exclaimed joyfully,
"The fever has turned and yom mother is
better Thank God.N
The Christmas rose had fulfilled its destiny.
All, mel the black pine was right. We were
all made for wise purpose, and we shall
learn what it is in Gods own good time.
sThe Christmas rose is not rose. it belongs TO
the family Hellehore, black Hellebore, so called
from the color of it's roots. It's large white
flowers are produced In winter, and il grows only
in cold climates. The flowers are white or tinged
with red

CHRISTMAS.

Hang up the vine and the holly,
Sign the cross over the door.
That joy coming ia with the Christmas,
May go from the place uevermore.
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 aud ring out glad song,
The stars OF o Bethlehem desert
Looked down on a Christ happy throng.
Go we in bowel and highway.
Guests to bring in to the feast
Angels shall unawares greet ye
In those the world couutetli az least.
Sound the sweet Christ loving anthem
Echoes will bear IL on high
To the angels made ioyor forever
BY Christmas OF love III the SKY
Bow down and worship the spirit
OF the feast, the invisible King
10 He conleth in scarlet and purple
To gather worlds offering.

Washington, Aug. 23-The Star says:
Political prophets are practically un-
animous ia the prediction that 1883 is
going to see MIR. Cleveland and Mr..
Blaine again in the field opposing each
other. Democrats agree that MFR. Cleye-
land is almost certain to be renominated
1t is believed that the president himself
is no longer IN doubt about entering the
lists, and that he has abandoned the
idea OF serving but one term. The popu-
larity he has gained among the people
at large, his SUCCESS on holding tbs favor
Of the mugwumps without altogether
alternating his own party leaders and the
fact that he has no rival il the field seem
to point to his denomination. The APP
pointment of Magcne as the collector OF
the port of New York, and the apparent
change OF policy in the treasury depart
ment has sllenoed much OF the most BIT
ter opposition to the administration,
| Mr.. Blaine's friends thinks his chance
for securing the republican nomination
is greatly increased by his being out OF
politics Just now. Being out of the way
Blaine has not irritated his rivals by OBJ.
strusive ambition, and he has been left
alone, while Sherman, Logan, Edmunds,
and the rest were cutting each others
threats. The issues made in Mr.. Nc
Pherson's campaign book are said to
represent Mr.. Blaine throughout, and
arc practically what he will make 8
point on in his speeches in Maine this
fall. The campaign this fall, it is said
will follow o line marked out by Mr.
Blaine, and he will bring to the from
questions upon which he is PARTICULAR,
