The next he knew it was morning.
The sun was Just sending his first beam
of light into tie room. Pussy had
jumped into the bed, and Teddy took
her into his arms Then Teddy rubbed
his eyes, and looked very sharp in the
pla where that little beam was shin
ing on the floor. For there, sitting
straight up, with legs and arms sticking
straight ont, was the funniest little man
you ever saw.
1t took Teddy full minute to make
up his mind whether it was real little
man or only a make. believe one. Then
lie rolled out of bed and caught the
funny fellow by the coat.
BY this tine he had looked him all
over, another beam of light was peeping
in at the window, lighting up all the
dark corners of the room. And then
such lot of things as Teddy saw can
not begin to tell you.
You may be sure he was glad that he
went to sleep in time for santa Claus to
come. For you know he never comes
until little boys are fast asleep. Re-
member this on Christmas Eve. -Tleas-

Teddy'S Merry Christmas.

Never in his life did Teddy have
such hard time going to sleep. as on
that last night before Christmas. The
more mamma sang to him and told him
stories, the more his eyes would not
shut.
"Why, am afraid Santa Clause won't
have a chance to come here tonight, "
his mother said, as the clock struck nine.
"Oh, dear / will go to sleep this
minute" and Teddy put his hands over
his eyes to hold them shut
mamma, what did you tell Santa you
wanted him to bring to you" The hands
came down, and the eyes flew wide open
again.
ooh, never mind; I'm too sleepy to
think )" ard mamma put her head down
on the pillow beside her wideawake
boy, and kept as still as if she were
as eep.
Teddy rated her check, pinched her
nose. and felt of her closed eyelids for a
minute or two; then he put his face down
close to hers, and-and--

In these latter days, the Christian
world seems to be getting back TO the
more tender solicitude of early times in
its care for the identifying of our
churches. There is now what m ght al
most be called science OF decoration.
Volumes are published upon the subject,
profusely illustrated with every sort of
device to please the eye and inspire the
devotional feeling cross feurie, the
cross patonce, the quartre fol. the
cinque foil, the vesica, the four five aud
six pointed star, the illegible Greek
characters, bands, shields, drapers and
medallions, things requiring great neat
ness of design aud Carefulness Of eIecI-
tion. There is all the difference in the
world between many Of our churches at
Christmas and what they were a gen
Grafton ago. The time has gone by
when a crowd of young and old used to
go out in the damp, cold woods, cut
down the snow-lld trees, or pull up
miles Of ground-pine and then sit for a
week of nights in a freezing church, to
make the trimmings for Christmas.
The work is done now in many instances
by professional decorators, and so il is
no more a labor Of love on the part of
the congregation, as it certainly should
be.
1t will not do to leave our subject

half groan. "Christmas Eve, and nary
bite in the locker nor a nickel in the
pocket It's blasted hard-blasted hard
for a man that's seen better days"
He crunched the pipestem between his
teeth and made another round of the
deck, but stopped when he had reached
the old place again.
"There's some as 'ud say twas mis-
fortin did it, And some as 'ud croak
bout ill-luck. 'Twusn't neither. Twas
rum. Rum and me own mulishness. III
/ dadn't driv that boy away, he'd be now

what wus about, and she wouldn't be
in there dyin'-dyin' for a bite to eat"

The man groveled down upon his
knees beside the box and his head sunk
upon his hands. He was that moment t
the veriest picture of humiliation aud re-
morse. But she before whom he hum
bled himself did not seem TO see him.
Her eyes were fixed on vacancy and her
lips opened and closed as though she
were speaking to some one unseen.
Then she rose with a cry of Edward,
my husband, whom / would have
wronged by doubling, come to me; come,
or l will die" and fell on the floor in a
swoOn.
The old man, all in tremble, crept to
her, raised her in his arms, dashed water
into her face, laid her down again, and
rushing to a shelf, felt for bottle ard
held it to the light. Empty! A curse
upon the fiery brew that had brought
ruin and was gone when it might do
good lie knelt again, beat her hands,
wrung his own. and then starting up
like a madman, dashed out into the air,
leaving the woman lying in the cabin as
though she were dead. Over to the pier
and across it he hurried. He ran to the
side OF the big bark. There was no
gang plank there, but he sprang for the
lower rigging, grabbed it and clambered
on the deck.
He saw a figure pacing up and down
in the dark, aud the yellow light for
ward showed a couple of seamen who
had risen from coil of rope He turned
toward them, and with hands stretched
entreatiDgy, he called out
'For Gods sake, mates, let me have a
drop of grog, or somethin'. Me gal
me daughters dyin' over on the boat
there, and I've nothin' to bring her too.

without mentioning the Christmas tree,
popularly so called, though only of late
years has it been naturaized in England
or our own country. 1t is a gift from
Germany, yet one who is curious in such
matters might perhaps trace it back TO
the toy pine tree, hung with oscilla,
which boys and girls in ancient Rome
looked for on the sixth aud seventh days
of the Saturnalia, and one of which
Tiberius gave to his nephew Claudius.
The Egyptians had their palm tree, and
the Buddhists their tree Of votive gift',
and possibly the custom drifted west
ward, until Germany Christanized it in
honor of st. Maternus, who first pro
claimed the good tidings of Christmas
in that land. 1t has become popular
among us, and long may its verdant
branches wave with lovely fruit for
young and old.

''Please, sir" said one of the sailors,

wants somethin' to help her out"
"Send him to the steward" said the
voice, and the form melted in the dark
ness aft.
Up and down, up and down it went
over the smooth deck--a manly figure,
but with STOPPING head and a solemn,
thoughtful face. Once or twice the lat
ter turned to the big city, and the eyes
roamed over the black profile of the
buildings and the tail brick phantoms
far off in the air as though they would
pierce to the heart of that throbbing hive
aud pluck from it some secret hidden
there. A glimpse of the moon showed
overhead for a moment, and the spars

The words stole out into the air from
the open companion and Old Tom
Saunders, who had uttered them, came
up with a bottle and pan. Once he
stumbled in his haste, but quickly re-
covering himself, he came on to the
deck. The silent figure had paused and
turned toward the voice. 1t moves to-

DREAMS.

Who can tell us whence they come,
What mysterious regions FRONT
In what fairy country lies
That strange city of surprise
Whittier we in slumber go
BY path we do not knowl
Is it near or far awayl
And the people, who are theyl
Once when was there the town
Seemed as il 'twere upside down;
Roofs of barns and houses stood
Where the stone foundations should,
And the streets all seemed to run
Straight as arrows TO the sun,
Where, like ribbons, they were wound
On its golden spool around.
All the men and horses there,
Topsy-turvy in the air,
Walked and trotted on the blue
Pavements of the avenue.
But i'm morning when l woke
l discovered twas joke.
For the first thing l found out
Was that l had turned about.
How to go there, who can tell,
Where these fairy people dwell,
Strange it is that mornings light
Cannot show the path of night;
Stranger yet that we can keep
Itso surely in our sleep;
But the very strangest seems
Being wide awake in dreams
-Frank d Sherman in Young People
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1888-12-19

very likely derived the practice either
from the Celtic nations or from the
Saturnalia of the Romans, possibly from
both. Wherever Druidism existed the
hoAses were adorned with evergreens, so
that the sylvan spirits might find there
safe shelter from the wind and the frost.
The oak mistletoe, an essential element
in the bloody ceremonies of old magician
priests, has become tenderly significant
of the happiness and love that should
abound at the Joyous Christmas season.
When st. Augustine arrived in Britain
hee ,waas wise enough to utilize
the Tagan customs by giving them a
Christian significance, preserving such
parts as were innocent in themselves,
and thus it is probable that the practice
of decorating the homes and temples was
continued. such method has been fol-
lowed successfully by modern mission
aries, notably in the Sandwich Islands
and travellers tell us the delight with
which these overlooking children bring
their tropical berries and flowers to help
in the beautifying of their humble
churches. We think it is unquestionable
that the wise spirit of accommodation
shown by Augustine, in adopting va ious
Il
worship, was not only the cause of his
success as missionary, but also the
reasons why, especially, we twine at this
season the holly and the bay, and turn
winter into summer.
1t is an historical fact that the ! oman
Saturnalia were celebrated at the same
time of the year as the feast of Christ
mas, but whether the former had any
thing to do with the latter, by way Of
cause or common origin, it is not easy to
decide, nor, indeed, essential. The
Saturnalia began late in December, and
when we comp9re the Christmas orgies
and mummeries INDUCED in up to com.
paratively recent times, the resemblance
between the two feasts Is striking, even
in particu lar details.
The time came, however, when in the
strife for the ascendancy, Christianity
determined to fight paganism with the
latter's own weapons, and the customs
and revelries were carried to such an eX-
treme that several early church councils
forbade, among other things, the decora.
ton of private houses after the manner
of the Roman Saturnalia. But the prac-
tice of adorning churches with flowers
was not condemned, as extracts from the
writings of the early Christians will
show. In his work "De Civitate Del, y
the African Augustine speaks of floral
decorations, and of a miracle wrought
by flowers brought from the shrine of
st. Stephen, Gregory of Tours pra ses
the holy Confessor Severns for having
been in the habit of decorating his
church with lilies. Venantius Fortuna
tus, a poet of the fifth century, sending
to Rhadegund and Agnes now and then
bunch of violets, cluster of rosebuds,
or spray of lilies, is severe in his CON
ira between men who crowd their
houses with exotics, or women who deck
their breasts, and the more devoted and
pious who bring their choicest floral Of
ferings to Gods house. And this con-
trast is very evident in these days of ours,
when vast sums are lavished on flowers
only doomed to wither in the hot air of
the ballroom, or 10 mingle the.r fra

One of the most prominent South Jer-
sey 'industries' is the preparation of
evergreen decorations for Christmas and
New Years. The festoons are the handi-
work of women and girls, the raw mate
rial being furnished by the male portion
of the family, and the product is shipped
in barrels to New York and Philadel-
phia.
