The Country Boys.

About sixty years ago Vermont boy,
q afarmer's son, was sent to East Poultney
by himself to sell q load of potatoes. 1t
was great event for him-the proudest
day of his life. He sold out his load,
then drove around to the tavern, put up
his horses, and went in to dinner.
How grand he felt, ordering a dinner on
his own account, and paying his own
bill
A good many people were in the din
ing-room, among the resta distinguish
ed-looking man, no less parsonage
than the sheriff of the county, who had
been formerly a member of Congress.
But pretty soon our young fellows
eyes fell upon "tall, pale, white-hair-
ed, gawky boy" sitting at the further
end of the table in his shirt-sleevcs,
paying attention to nobody, and eating
as if upon q wager. "This is a pretty
sort of a tavern, anyhow, to let such a
fellow as that sit ut the same table with
all these gentlemen He ought to come
in with the hostler," thought our proud
potato merchant.
Before long the conversation turned
upon some political subject, some act OF
an early Congress, and there was a
difference Of opinions as to how certain
members voted upon it. All at once the
sheriff turned to the whitc-haired, half
dressed boy at the end of the table, and
asked:
"Ain't that right, Greeley"
"No," said the boy, "you're wrong"
"Thcre J" said one of the other men,
~ told you SO J"
"And you're wrong, too" continued
the boy, and he proceeded to give the
history of the measure in question from
beginning to end.
Our dealer in potatoes was astonished
out of measure, the more so because the
whole company took these statements
as law and gospel, settling the whole
dispute ut once and forever.
The "gawky boy" Was Horace Gree
ley, who was there at work in 4 print
ing-oftice at East Poultney. The othel
boy became prominent New Yorl
physician. The two did not see eacl
other. for many years. Then the ia
NOUS physician met the famous cdito
one day in the street, and told him thi
story, to his great amusement.

No Lunch Between Meals.

A prominent physician and surgeon
once said to me of his three children
who were then well grown youths,
and the picture of health: "We never
allowed our children to lunch between
meals, and they are all good eaters; we
meyer allowed them tea and coffee,
and they are all good sleepers." ALI
those same children have since grad
uated from colleges and are holding
high positions to-day in the profession
al world, robust and of excellent
habits, though inheriting frail consti-
tuition from mother who died young.

Christmas.

NY little child comes to my knee
And tugging pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale he loves so we'll
A tale my mother told to me,
Beginning "Once upon time
It is tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
Or that great host, serene and white,
The shepherd saw one winter night
And the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon time.
This story of the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
OF one who prayed alone and wcpt
While his awearied followers slept
And how his blood and Mary's tears
Commingled, once upon time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes Of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back to me
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And Of the gentle Christ that died
For sinners, once upon time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderouS tones or fluent rhyme,
Like misty shadows fade away
But this sweet story 'bides for aye,
And, like the stars that sang Of old,
We sing of "Once upon time"

Give not q hair-breadth of truth
rau for il is nnf vnurs. but Gods. ~

Give not hair-breadth of truth
away, for it is not yours, but Gods.
Any one who desires to serve God
need not be day without work to do
and plenty of it.
The best characters have mixture
of infirmities, and the worst have
some redeeming virtues.
Hang I'D everything that will hang
in the kitchen. 1t will save time
when you go to sweep it.
Keep your bread pans and pie dishes
free from i'll flavor by always washing
them in hot water after using.
Christ, and Christ only, has revealed
that he who has erred may be restored,
and made pure and clean and whole
again.
He is happy whose circumstances
suit his temper; but he is more excel
cumstances. ...a
The sacred Scriptures teach us the
best way of living, the noblest way of
suffering and the most comfortable
way of dying. .
Fight your own battles-ask no ia.
vors. You will succeed thousand
times better than one who is always
beseeching patronage.
The true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues its noiseless track and
everywhere leaves the effect of his
beams in blessing upon the world
around him.
"Ordinarily, the very sin about
which men are most sensitive is the
very one which demands attention and
exposure. The place in the body that
is most sore to touch, is the place that
demands most clearly the surgeons
art and firm hand"
A Quaker lady, who is herself the
best known recommendation of her
prescription, suggests the following
cosmetics For the lips, truth; for the
voice, prayer; for the eyes, pity; for
the mind, charity; for the figure, up
rightness for the heart, love.
If we know of kind act which we
might but do not intend to perform, if
we be aware that our moral health re-
uuires the abandonment of some pleas
ure which we do not intend to aban-
don. here is cause enough for the loss
of all spiritual power.
1t is not when we are conscious of
our faults that we are most wicked; on
the contrary, we are then less so. We
see brighter light: and let us remem-
ber, for our consolation, that we never
perceive and feel our sins until we be-
gin to cure them.
Jesus never taught His disciples how
to preach, only how to pray. He did
not speak much of what was needed to
preach we'll, but much of praying well.
TO know how to speak to God is more
than to know how to speak to man.
Not power with men but power with
God is the first thing.

A Silent Christmas.

The first "Still Christmas" in Eng
land occurred in 1926. Henry the
Eighth was king, and he had not yet
forfeited the respect of his subjects ;
but great political events were at
hand.
In December the king was sick. The
nation was filled with anxiety. 1t was
decided that the Christmas should be
a silent one there were no carols, bells
or merry-makings.
Silent Christmas were proclaimed in
the Protectorate Of Cromwell. The
festival was altogether abolished, and
the display of the emblems of the na-
tivity Twas held to be seditious.
The change was most notable in Lon
don. There was silence on the Stand.
The churchbells were still. st. Paul
lifted its white roofs over the Thames,
and Westminster Abbey its towers,
but the tides of happy people in holi'
day attire no more poured in and out
of those ancient fanes. The holly and
ivy no more appeared in the windows
of the rich and the poor. The Yule
fires were not kindled, nor the carols
sung.
Bells indeed rung out Oh the frosty
air, but how different from the chimes
of old! They were the hand-bells O
the heralds in simple garb passing
from street to street and shifting the
air and crying out:
"No Christmas No Christmas :"
Heads filled the windows and fig
ures the doors. Crowds stopped on th'
corners of the streets and in thu
squares. The cry went on
"No Christmas No Christmas!"
It smote the hearts of those whC
loved the old ways and customs. Blu
the spirit of the time was not lost. II
the silence of the long procession o
English festivals the law of Christ wa
period of great morality and fruitful
plenty. A period when the nation wa
conscientious Ind strong. The Sta
of Bethlehem was still shining.
A great change followed the Restora
ton. The Christmas bells rung OIL
once more. The waits again SUM
their carols at the gates of old feuda
halls. There were merrymakings III
der the evergreens. 1t was at one
the Court Christmases Of these year
that Charles knighted loin of bee
and gave it the name of "Sir Loin."

The farmers life, according to care
fully-prepared statistics i'll Massachu-
sets, is longer than that ofmen engaged
in any other occupation. He llveson an
average sixty-tive years, while the
highest average of any other business IS
ffty-six years. This longevity is not
due entirely to his out-of door life, for
some other outdoor workers are not
long lived. But the farmers outdoor
work is mostly in pleasant weather
In storms he keeps pretty closely in
doors, thus showing the great advan'
tage not only of knowing enough to &c
in when it rains, but of having busi'
ness which allows him to do so.

FOUND IN THE LITTLE DESK
Not long ago little girl in Christian
family died. She was only six years
old. About a year before her death she
had a small writing desk given to her.
After she died, her mother unlocked it,
and found this writing:
"The minute I wake up in the morn
ng, I will think of God.
III will mind my father and my
mother always.
II will try and have my lessons per-
feet. Z,
II will try to be kind, and not get
cross.

Echoes.

Far away, in days agone,
Shepherds heard the angels sing;
Light from heaven round them shone-
Listen distant echoes ring
"Glory be to God on high,
Who givcth peace''-the hills reply,
"G0d giveth peace
"And goodwill to men," Again,
Echoes swcetly sound, "To men,"
If the angels, nee then, never,
Have been heard, by us, forever
Echoes will rebound
Through the hearts Of men: cndearing
Each to each, forever cheering
All around.

A happy Christmas to you
For the Light Of Life Is born,
And his coming is the sunshine
or the dark and wintry morn.
The srandest orient must pale,
The loveliest western glcam must fail,
But his great light,
So full and bright,
Ariscth for thy heart to-day
His shadow-conqucring beams shall never
pass away.
4 happy Christmas to you!
For the Prince of Peace is come.
And his reign is full of blessings,
Their very crown and sum.
No earthly calm may ever last,
"Tis but the lull before the blast;
But his great peace
Shall still increase
In mighty, all-rcjOicing sway
His kingdom in thy heart can never pass
away.
