HOLIDAY GREETING.

oct into heaven. He must stand out

it out of a book"
"What did the book say, Arthur"
inquired Tom, with interest.

boy, slowly, and with emphasis; and
then added, as he looked up into his
face, "but it doesn't say word about
CATS" whereat they all laughed.
"What a horrid man he'll be to
marry, cried the lady. Always

of pelting them with flowers. l never

him like a true Narcissus, looking at his
own image in the water"
"Ah, Captain" cried Tom, 'can you
fancy Narcissus in a raging hydro
phobia? At his first sitting mirror

for water, and the brute nearly had fit
of apoplexy trying to get at his own re-
Election and tear it into crumbs"
The Captain laughed, and examined
the picture, praising all he could find in
it to praise. He could do no less while
others did so much more, they even as
suring the artist that her genius would
make her fortune had it not been, most
conveniently, already made.
"Try it," said Tom; "put it to the
proof. Turn out in the guise of ne
cessitous woman artist, and test the
public taste. Earn a pair Of shoes at
it, or a dinner, and will be convinced.
You will find such work brings only the
value of its frame"
But prophet is not without honor"
she quoted, plaintively.
"a prophet true, but you are not
a prophet, but princess at bazar. If
you were freckle-faced, cross-eyed, be-
ing a princess, you could sell button
hole bouquets at guinea piece; while

"A rival" laughed Tom; "but Phlox
will find it hard to beat bloated aris-
tocrat like Narcisse. Did you know"
he said, solemnly, "that Narcisse has
been promised Christmas tree, trim
med with chocolate rats and mice tied
with blue ribbons, and is to have
turkey and sweet-bread for Christmas
dinner? Yes, regardless of the fact that
Irish babies are existing on sea-weed
porridge, and not enough of that"
"Phlox catches real mice and eats
them!" evidently despising chocolate
ones, and ignoring Irish babies and
sea-weed porridge. The lady stirred
uneasily; disparagement troubled her.
"After all, Phlox is merely cat, while
Narcisse is dog. which is much better;
and he is so beautiful that think some
times his tail is a wing that is sprouting,
it looks so much like plume"
Dogs don't have WINGS" said the
child, in marked contempt for her igno-
rance of canine anatomy.
"But perhaps little dog angels do,
and Narcisse is such a very good dog
that he gave half his allowance for neck
ribbons to the poor, and only wears new
one every other day." said his mistress.

~ with unsparing irony. AS for
Narcisse, Tom hated him with
y the utmost frankness. He had
a vague idea that her time and money
might be lavished on worthier objects;
she had an idea, equally vague, that
such objects meant coarse flannel Tor
the poor, and the adoption of an Irish
baby in Narcisse's stead; and bitterly
she complained to the Captain. What
comfort could he give her? Only the
filieree collar, which seemed to answer
every purpose, and which she had ten
derly adjusted upon the animals neck
as he lay on his satin cushion. With
mischievous satisfaction, her brother
noted the look of intense depreciation
upon Arthur's face, and said:
"You don't like Narcisse, do your!
"No," said the child; like Phlox."
"And pray who is Phlox?"
"Phlox is Uncle Harry's cat, on his
ship, and he's as black as black find

he filled her lap, and lifting his brown

The dogs lady, a childless widow,

only gilded oats, and, as she rode, all

for-so that even her bed of roses had

her triumphal chariot, the lady saw
with pain that her brother Tom waxec

A portion OF infnity.

Faith in the nobleness of man.
From her, the saint of holy breath,
From him the martyr strong in death,
i severed self; no more l trOd
The earih, accountable to Goi.
ceased to pray, and lonely grew,
discovered from the future, too
From hope of spirit heritage;
From loved Of youth, and loved Of age
My dead who unexpected went
Tapers brief lit, forever spent,
j ceased to pray; there ceased in me
The health light of divinity,
My knee refused to pay respect.
1 marched to death and nought, erect,
1 ceased 10 pray; the thing was vain,
And pride and thought usurped my brain
Mildness and mirth they sought release;
They missed humility and peace.
The dying Moslem's brutal face
Takes on hope of God and grace,
And I, an heir to wisdom great,
Was lone, cut of, and isolate,
With life too short for mighty schemes
My dead reproached me in my dreams.
Alasl the night ceased to pray
Twas not progression, twas decay,
If needs but point fulfilment's way,
Then hope means heaven to those who
pray.
