THE GIFTS OF THE POOR.

A poor man plodded through the snow
One golden hour on Christmas Day,
And pondered how he might bestow
Some blessing OH his neghbors way.
"I have no gold to give" he sighed,
"My own poor home is small and bare;
Not cen AT blessed Chrstmas-tide
Have l shining coin to spare"
But while he sorrowed in his heart,
This sudden thought forbade his tear:
Though poor, may not yet impart
The priceless gifts of hope and cheer?'
He turned and hastened 10 the door
or one whose lot was poor and sad
He spake kind words that healed once more
An aching heart and made II glad.
Then, filled with joy, he paused and thought
OF one by him not yet forgiven,
Remembering how the Master taught
That only mercy enters Heaven
And straightway with the gift he sped
The gift of pardon for the wrong;
Those few frank words of peace he said
Were sweeter than an an sels song.
And thus he spent the holy day,
Bestowing gifts OF hope and love;
And when the twilight ebbed away
And nights pure stars were grouped above,
He found within his own glad breast
The gift OF Gods approving grace,
A heart with all the world al rest,
Its Saviours chosen dweling-place.
Oh, sorrow not, ye kindly poor!
A loving deed In Heavens view
VIII, like the very stars, endure
While glittering riches melt like dew,
For there is not gift more grand
Than simple love that grows not cold.
The clasp OF friendly hand with hand
Is better than a shower OF gold.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas - cries the shiv
ering urchin at your door, as he rubs
his chilled hands to keep them from
freezing. Merry Christmas says
your smiling and opulent friend, as he
buttons his comfortable cloak more
closely around his form. Will it ever
cease 10 be the InoSt musical key OF
greeting 10 unlock the door of affec-
ton and generosity? Shall We ever
cease TO associate il with warmth, and
comfort, and blazing fires in broad
chimneys, and merry groups of chill
dren: and somewhere the branch Of
green, in memory of the never-dying
love Of Him whose natal day we cele-
brate.
How beautiful it is that the sweet
faith il, year by year, renewed in our
children, as they look forward with
love and trust to the joyful time . How
the wonderful spirit of the time has
touched the hearts of great writer's
and gloritied the literature that deals
with it. Christmas storytelling has
become one of the loveliest arts of
modern writer's and 10 Dickens We
owe much of the beautiful Christmas
sentiment. OF all the minstrels Of the
day. his songs have left most music in
our hearts. How could any one har-
Dor selfish and narrow feelings after
reading those shining pages, through
which we seem 10 hear the chimes Of
bells, the Christmas carols, the song
of the steaming kettle, and the pleas
ant chirp of the cricket; over whose
pages we see 80 many kindly faces and
hear such loving words. We do not
care to shut out the kindly and simple
cheer OF these Christmas friends for
the brave and knightly romance Of
King Arthur in his baronial halls,
keeping watch beside the yule-loS be
meath the shadows of the mistletOe
The old yule-log has burned TO ashes
long ago and has become only II ira
dition; but thank God for the love
which never goes out of fashion; the
gracious sweetness Of the Christmas
time is just as bright as in those olden
days.

A New Start

A. We begin the New Year We feel
as if We were taking new start Dur
ing the last days Of the old one we
should have cleared away good deal
Of rubbish that mad gathered about
us; and now, with all rearranged and
Strengthened up, we should address
ourselves TO the coming duties with n
heart full OF hope Discouragement
and forebOding are bad preparations
for any work. One is not utopian
when he sees the good side instead Of
the bad one. He is only sensible,
showing also appropriate faith, and
encouraging himself with that spirit
Of hopefulness that is part Of the
Christian religion. a. it il also, in its
measure. characteristic Of healthy
mind and body.

For there is not a gift more grand
Than simple love that grows not cold.
The clasp OF friendly hand with hand
Is better than shower OF gold.
THE CoNvlCT's CHRISTMAS EVE.
The term was done /; my penalty was
past;
| saw the outside Of the walls at last
When | left that stone punishment Of
sin,
Twas most as hard as when ! first
went in.
1t seemed at once as though the swift
voiced air
Told slanderous tales about Inc every
where:
AS if the ground itself was shrinking
back
For fear 'twould get the Gains mark
of my track.
Women would edge away, with shrewd
she guesses,
As if my very glance would spoil their
dresses;
Men looked me over with close, care
less gaze,
And understood my downcast, jail
bred ways
Ny hands were so grim and
detiled,
! wouldn't have had the cheek to pet
a child;
If | had spoken to a dog that day,
He would have tipped his nose and
walked away;
And so | wandered in u Jail of doubt,
Whence neither heaven nor earth
would let he out.
The world itself seemed to Inc every
bit
As hard a prison as the one I'd quit.
If you are made of anything but dirt,
If you've a soul that other souls can
hurt,
Turn to the right henceforth, whoever
passes
It's death to drop among the lawless
classes.
Men lose, who lose the friendship OF
the law,
A blessing from each breath Of mir
they draw;
They know the advantage of good
square face,
When theirs has been disfigured by
disgrace.
So | trudged around appropriately
slow
For one with no particular place TO
go.
The houses scowled and started as il
to say,
You Jail bird, we are honest, walk
away"
The factory seemed to scream when
came near,
stand back! unsentenced men are
working here
And virtue had tn appearance all the
time
OF trying hard to push Inc back to
crime.
1t struck me strange, that stormy,
snow -bleached day,
To watch the different people on the
way,
All carrying bundles, of all sorts of
sizes,
As carefully as gold and silver prizes.
Well dressed or poor, | could not un-
derstand
Why each one hugged bundle in his
hand.
asked an old policeman what it
meant,
He looked me over with eyes shrewd-
ly bent.
While muttering in a voice that fairly
froze,
Its cause to-morrow's Christmas, |
suppose
And then the fact came rushing over
he,
How horribly alone man can be!
don't pretend what tortures yet may
wait
For souls that have not run theirreck
nninc-c Ct
1t isn't for mortal ignorance to say
What kind of a night may follow any
day:
There may be pain for sin some time
found out
That sin on earth knows nothing yet
about;
But don't think there's any harbor
Worse for wrecked soul than to be
alone.
Alone-there may be never has oc-
Cured
a word whose gloom is gloomier than
that word!
You who can brighten up your Christ
mas joys
With all affections small but mighty
toys,
Who fancy that your gifts of love be
rash,
And presents are not worth their price
in cash,
Thank God, with love and thrift no

A hungry, sad heart-hermit all the
while,
Ny rough face begging for friendly
smile.
Folks talked with folks in new-made
warmth and glee,
But no one had a word or look for me;
Love flowed like water. but il could
not make
The world forgive Inc for my one mis-
take.
An open church some look of welcome
wore;
| crept in soft, and sat down near the
door.
I'd never seen mongSt my unhappy
race
So many happy children in one place;
| never knew how much hymn could
bring
From heaven, until heard those chill
dren sing;
never saw such sweet breathed gales
of glee
AS swept around that fruitful Christ
mas tree.
You who have tripped through child
hoods merry days
With passionate love protecting all
your ways
Who did not see Christmas time 90

JOY its birth,

was set;

And so | sat and saw them, and con

Felt all tn unhappier for their happi-
ness;
And when u man gets into such a
state,
He's very proud-or very desolate.
Just then the cry of Fire amongst
us came;
The pretty Christmas tree was al
afame
And one sweet child there in our
startled gaze
Was screaming, with her white clothes
all ablaze.
The crowd seemed crazy-like, both old
and young,
And very swift of speech, though slow
Of tongue.
But one knew what to do, and not tc

And he a convict, just let loose that
day.

strife;
| wrapped my life around that child's
sweet life:
/ | choked the flames that choked her
with rich cloaks
Stol'n from some good but very fright

| gave the dear girl 10 her parents
sight,
Unharmed by anything excepting
fright;
tore the blazing branches from the
tree;
/ And all was safe. and no one hurt but
me.
That night, Of which | asked for SLEEP

That night, that tossed me round on
