A CHRISTMAS LAMENT.
Aunt Mahaly's and Uncle Pete's
Old-Time Wedding.

1t was a very inclement Christmas
week, and / wondered how Aunt Ma
haly and Uncle Pete were getting along
Picking up few cold remains from our
own delicacies, it did not take very long
to reach their shanty in the suburbs of
Richmond. Quite arespectable volume
of smoke was issuing from their Chin
ney, and on entering, it was indicated
to my olfactory nerve that they would
feast on cabbage if nothing more. Two
fresh tallow dips. trimmed with fancy
papers, adorned the mantel-piece. and
a bunch of scraggy evergreens and
holly berries in a broken china vase
suggested the festive season. Uncle
Pete was smoking comfortable pipe
over the fire, and his wife, with gay
yellow handkerchief ON her head, was
busting about the kitchen, brandishing
a huge pewter spoon in her hand.
''God bless You, honey, for thinkin'
bout your OF auntyr' she exclaimed,
gratefully, when she saw the basket de-
posted on her table. Then. after tell
ing me about the misery in Pete's
chist" and the misery in her side, she
struck pensive attitude, and broke
out in feeling tribute to the Long Ago.

Here she glanced over at her hus-

occasion; and he laid down his pipe,
and nodding his head approvingly, said:

Shaking their fleece of flame!
splendid caravan, from desert depths
They flashed their royal way:
Gold wrought, in all strange charactery and
Their housings caught the ray.
The shining stations arched their necks and
rang
The stately camels stretched like monoliths
Their SHADOWS on the plains.
Treasure of perfumes and of precious stones
OF scarlet cloths, woven at the wane of moon
And at the great seas ebb;
And oils and gums, the ooze of sacred trees
In sun-imprsonn4 fecks,
And In their lamps the fire not once relit
Since priest Melchizedek's.
There little Melchior, King of Nubia, came
With gold to signify
Possession of the empire of the earth
And kingships prophecy.
And Chaidea's monarch, the old Balthuzar,
Brought incense, for sign
That prayer and praise should fnd divinity
In manger or in shrine.
But Jasper, black, and of a mighty make,
And Of rich Tarshisb King,
brought myrrh,
For human suffering.
And With them. and before:them. the great

Outstripping comets and white-bearded orbs,
Came leading heavens hosts.

The young child, who not yet fortnight old,
Among the oxen slept
Where angels hung upon dropping wing
And all the sweet watch kept.
Chiefs Of old heathenry. how long, how far,

What tribute and what treasure did they
To greet the holy guest!
Were theirs too-that great press
Which followed on the way the Magi led
Up from the wilderness!

What hard road do we tread with tender feet
To make the truth our own?
To consecrote our King?
To God, In Christ, or In Humanity,
What tribute do we bring?
We look on the immensity of space
And count all creeds song;
We let the dungeoned prisoner write in
blood
The story of his wrong.
So we but lose no bubble of the wine,
In the rose crush no sting
We care not for the pierced Divinity
We crown the senses King!
Brief empery, that the bubble breaks,
