CHRISTMAS EVE.

Clear and bright the stars are shining,
Pure and cold the snow-drifts lie,
Wreathed fantastic round each hamlet,
Nesting vale and mountain high.
From the tower ice-gems glitter,
Sparkling in the frosty light,
While the chimes from out the belfry,
Ring the story of this night
Telling how in ancient Jewry
Once the Savior, Christ, was born,
Lay baby in a manager,
Suffering poverty and scorn.
Telling all his life and anguish,
All his love for sinful men,
How he lived and toiled and suffered,
How he died and rose again.
Year by year they ring this story,
Bringing life and hope to earth,
Rolling back the mist of ages
To the hour of his dear birth.
And anew we deck the altar
With ever living green.
Where so oft, by faith discerning,
Emblems of his love are seen.
So, oh Christ, thy Church has ever
Brought its Savior to its breast,
Asking naught on earth beside Thee,
Thou dear source of all its rest.

Its Grandeur and Dignity.

The grandeur and dignity of Chris
tian work need to be realized by all
who engage In 1t. When Solomon set
about building the temple he evidently
did so with most exalted conception
OF the work to which he had committed
himself; and the resolve to execute 1t
in manner worthy Of the purpose to
which 1t was to be devoted. He cared
not how costly the materials en-
ployed, II they were only suitable, and
he haggled not ovor the wages OF
artisans. II they were only skillful.
He was building a house for the Lord.
In all Christian work we need the
same spirit. We want to do work that
will be solid and lasting, that shall
bless mon and honor God. To con-
secrate TO IL our best efforts, and en-
dure sacrifices. for its accomplish
ment. we should deem only reason
able service. Christian Inquirer.

A DIG in the Ribs.

If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfuliy meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fendish. Look at a mans
countenance ere you poke him under the
ribs. II his skin and eyeballs have sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is furred, his breath apt to be sour
that he has pains not only beneath his
ribs, but also under the right shoulder
blade. Also, that his bowels are irregu-
lar and his digestion impaired. Instead
of making jocose demonstration on his
ribs, recommend him to take and steadily
persist in taking Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest anti.bilious and Alternative
medicine extant. Incompatible Is 1t, also
for dyspepsia, rheumatsm, nervousness,
kidney trouble, and fever and ague.
