FRS and Evergreens for Christmas.
The trade in Christmas trees and greens
grows lar ger year by year. Thirty years
ago a Christmas tree was seldom seen, ex-
cept in some homes of the richest class, and
the adornment of churches for the festival
season was confined to the Catholic and
Episcopalian denominations. But the i'm
mense increase of our German population
has p~opularized the Christmas tree through
out the length and breadth Of the land and,
with the waning old puritan ideas, the dec
Grafton of churches Of all denominations
has become customary. The extent to which
materials for these purposes are now re-
quired is shown by the fact that a single
dealer in New England last year disposed
of IL 1000 Christmas trees, $4,000 yards Of
wreathing, and 800 barrels Of evergreen
spray. The smallest trees that are sold
bring on the ground 10 cents apiece, while
the largest-twenty-ive to thirty feet in
height-bring from 81 to So.

FROM BEThLEHEMTo CALVARY.
From the Cradle Of the Savior to His
Cross.

From the Cradle Of the Savior to His
Cross.
The Holy Places of Palestine-w who can or
would be insensible to their wondrous spell?
They are the truest commentary upon the
Sacred Scriptures; they illuminate and
vivify, as nothing else can, the old, old
story, which we all read eagerly anew at
the lime when the bright star Of the kalends,
the Christmas festival, is rising in its annual
glory. Believer and skeptic alike gaze with
awe and emotion upon the paths which
Jesus trod, the places where He preached,
the solitudes where He wept and prayed
upon hillside bethlehem where He was
born, and dome-crowned Calvary where He
died. None but would make the pilgrimage
thither If they might-none but feel the
spell, when they gaze on the scene.
Antiquarians dispute, as well they may,
many Of the sites fxAd By the vargue
local tradition or BY to zeal Of the
numerous sects who now occupy the holy
ground; bnt the natural features and gener-
al topography, at least, remain fixed and
eternal. There still stands Zion ''by hills
surrounded" There, beneath the walls,
are the two valleys Of Hinnom and Jehosha-
phat. To the eastward, over against the
city, rises the gentle slope Of Olivet, where
the Man Of Sorrows walked alone; and to
the southwark, only a few miles distant, lies
Bethlehem, whose identity with the ancient
town Of Judah has never boon questioned.
IT present Bethlehem is q ruined-look-
ing Oriental town, with a population be-
tween three and four thousand Greek and
Roman Christians and Moslems. In the
crypt of the church supposed to have been
erected by Helena, the mother of .Constan-
tine, early in the fourth century, Is shown
what is called the Grotto Of the Nativity.
There is a small semicircular apse, hung
with golden lamps, and foored with a mar
bic slap, bearing an ornamental star in its
centre, which is pointed out as tho spot
where Christ was born.
The Mount Of Olives, ever a favorite
place Of pilgrimage, is reached from the
city by a rocky path, leading from st.
Stephens Gate, and past the garden Of
G~ethsemane. This path Jesus took, when
according to the Scriptures, He sat upon
the Mount of Olives over against the Tenn
ple." Here, too, He wept over Jerusalem.
There Is still a sparse grove of olive-trees on
the monnt. A mosque and a Greek chapel
crown its summit; and the Russians are now
erecting a high tower, in which a chime of
bells is to be placed, which will command q
view Of the Dead Sea and the distant Medi-
t~erranean. From this spot, one may also
look down into the Garden of Gethsemane,
where, amidst the numerous shrines and
chapels, several i~mmemorial olive-trees
gently wave their gray-green foliage. The
Garden is kept by the Latin monks, who
have a convent there, and who nave built a
wall around it.

CHRISTMAS c~ONFIDENcES.

Christmas flattens out many a fat wallet.
Santa Claus forgets all the bad things we
do.
We always like best what the other boys
get.
It is a bad boy who ties his now tin rattle
to the dogs tail.
At Christmas both the turkey and the
stocking hang high.
A very appropriate Xmas present is the
bill with an K on it.
We are not made happy by saying we
received more presents than we did.
The destructive boy who pokes a hole in
his drum won't annoy his neighbors.
The gambler doesn't mind you giving
him the deuce when it fills up his hand.
The bad boy who doesn't grow good at
Christmas is beyond all hope in this world.
The cute boy always looks to see if there
is q hole in his stocking before hanging it
up.
Don't beat your boy for making a noise
If you have given him q drum for Christ
mas.
Nothing is worse than too much of a good
thing-the noisy boy can beat a hole in the
head Of his drum.
There is nothing mean about the woman
who borrows money from her husband to
buy him a present.
It is as bad to have too much Christmas
as none at all, but we never appreciate
this until the next day.
The big hustle will never go out of fash
ion as long as the small boy can find one to
hang up instead Of his stocking.
"What a lot Of things1 Santa Claus
brings into the house, unused a little fol-
low, since father failed in business"
II have no presents for the children
who need them the most" sighed Santa
Claus as he few over the poor mans house.
II guess poor old Santa Claus must be
sick" remarked little Johnny, 'because I
see he sent a boy around this afternoon
with all the things in a big basket"
lit was very kind of Mr.. Lavish to take
my two girls out for a sleigh ride," philos-
ophized the butcher, ''but I wish be had
! given me the ten dollars the sleigh cost on
account of his meat bill"

lessly, as IL uf2ble to move without her as
s~istance, while the fiery steeds, completely
beyond control Of their driver, bore down
upon him. Horace uttered a cry, of horror
at the tragedy he could not avoid witness
ing and which he was powerless to avert.
AS the horses reached the man, the driver,
by an almost superhuman effort, swerved
the now frantic animals to one side, but not
soon enough. The beasts dartei past, but
the heavy runner Of the Sleigh threw him to
the ground n passed over his head.
Horace left his place at the window and
sped to the street, where already a crowd
had gathered round the PROSTATE and ap-
parently lifeless form. The girl had quickly
knelt at the side Of her father, and was
chatting his hands alternately with wiping
the blood from a wound in his forehead.
"Send for an ambulance" said some one,
and just then an officer hurried up and
pushing back the crowd, gave orders to
take the man to tho sidewalk.
BY this time Horace had worked his way
into the center Of tho throng, and as two
stout men picked the limp body from the
snow, he pushed ahead Of them to clear
away toward his home.
"Take him in here" said he, opening the
door Of the magnificent dwelling.
Tut, tut, p" said the policeman, "that's
no place for a beggar. The hospital wagon
will be here in a minute and they'll take
care Of him."
But the boy had spoken with such an air
Of authority that the men who bore the
load had entered tAe door before the officer
could prevent, and they followed Horace up
the grand staircase with their CHASTITY bur
den.
Straight into his own room he led them,
and they stopped not until they had de-
posted the mangled form on the boys bed.
Then turning them away, he informed the
household of the occurrence and sent for a
physician.
Mrs. Gregory was Mortified at having
brought into the house two beggars, one ap-
parently dead or dying, and the other

Youthful Skepticism.

Young America (who has %outgrown old
Taditions)-Now what I want to Know is
t his-if there is a Santa Claus, and he is as
big and fat as you say, how can he come
down the chimney, with all those things on
his back without getting stuck some
where?
Puzzled mamma-Oh, he packs the toys
very carefully, you know.
Young America-And do you mean to
tell me he never gets a bit Of SCOT on his
clothes, nor nothing' Huh! go tell that to
the baby!

so double, redouble your labors, no trouble
Is wasted: the cauldron shall presently bub-
And the pudding shall boil till his coat is as
brown
AS the last lingering leaves which the North
Wind blows down.
Then tomorrow wen dine, yes, we'll glor
iously dine, .
And when we have finished the turkey and
chine,
The pudding shall enter, all bathed in blue
hig her?

Too oft Life saddens toward it's end,
Yet helping hand Of child or friend,
And Independent means, may lend
SOme compensation:
But when Old Age, %bereaved, distressed,
Crawls to the Workhouse for its rest,
Existence then must be at best.
A desolation.
Most days are sad. but not quite all.
For even the cherries Workhouse hall.
When dawns the Christmas festival,
Looks bright and pleasant;
And then the kindly fairy's last
Best gift-the tea in teapot cast.
May bring to mind a far-on Past,
Awelcome Present!

PRETTY Near It..

Brown had invited his brother, IN old sea
captain, to dinner on Christmas, and little
Johnny seemed licked to death over the old
fellows red nose.
"Say, Uncle Jack, " remarked the enfant
terrible, 'did Santa Claus give you that
red nose when you were a little boy9"
"No, my young shaver" replied the
captain, good-naturedly; cit wasn't Santa
Claus, but a mate Of his named Santa
Cruz"

said.
