Another child says:
Those Christmas bells so sweetly chime
AS on the day when first they rung
So merriy, In the olden time,
And far and wide their music flung;
Shaking the tall, gray, ivied tower
With nil their deep, 1nelodous power,
They still proclaim to every ear:
Old Christmas comes but once year.
Thomas Miller.
A third child repeats the following, from
Dickens: "Chrstmas is the only holiday In
tho year that brings the whole human family
into common communion; the only time In
tho long calendar Of the year when men and
women seem, by one consent, to open their
shut up hearts freely" The fourth child
says:
Again the Christmas time Is here,
With all its wealth Of happy cheer;
Bright burns the fire. and on the wall
The holly shines in hut and hall,
And merriy from steeples high
The bells ring out to earth and sky
Their message Of Good will and peace
May love abound-Inay love increase"
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
Your silver voices come md go,
And fill the hearts of those who hear
With reverent thoughts. while Christmas
cheer
Swings wide the door, and says Come in;
For one brief day all men kin"
To oil this day Good will and peace,
Let love abound-lct love incrense''
AS the last words arc uttered tho Fairy of
Joy glides in, and the children look aston
ished. The ringing OF bells Is again heard,
and the fairy says:
Clash. clash! peal the bells;
Christmas joy their welcome tells;
Wealth Of sunny days to be.
Sing the joy bells gleefuly:
Golden hours and days we give
Hours and days in which to live
In the ways Of truth and right
So the bells ring forth with might
Heraldng future bright.
Clash. clash! peal the bells.
&C. Weatnerby.

coming to see you tonight and will show you
sights that will delight you. I ON the Fairy

happy, but who is filed with Christmas joy.
AS the fairy waves her wand colored

inner curtains can be drawn without notice.

very ragged clothing, with basket by her
side, holding doll In her arms She Is
smiling and apparently about to caress 1t.
In minute another light shosld be burned,
under cover of which the curtains may b.

the Fairy Peace entera at once and says;
Hush! the Christmas day ID ending,
Angels on the earth descending
Bless the world tonight;

Peace unto mankind Is given
Through the light 5;ssst
That came down from heaven above,
Lighting all the world through love.
