A Merry On ristmas.

9randest of common orative days, Its
every return challenges our inmost Sc
robustness of thankful welcome: On other
days men have been born. whose memo
ries are hallowed within the boundaries
of States and nations they served war
riors, statesmen, discoveries, men of
letters, public benefactors-buto on this
day We hail as Christmas. Divine ben.
efactor, Saviour, was born to the
world. His life and memory we're to be
the blessing and joy of all nations. No
tribe, nor kindred, nor tongue was to
engross HIS love or glory wholly in His
name. Wide as the globe, over all con.
tinents and to all the isles, the Heav-
emily light of that birth was to spread.
until the waste places were made glad
and the desert blossomed as the rose.
Gloriously to this end has it spread
for eighteen hundred and eighty-nine
years, until Christendom Is become tho
heart and life of the civilized world.
Wherever savageisms and barbarisms
have been dissipated, and nations
brought to enlightenment - wherever
man is most developed as a human
being-there Christmas ought to be
most hallowed, for there has the spirit
of Christ most wrought its redeeming
work. Among the nations most blessed
by its divine influences, our own stands
foremost Foremost, then, let US be al
a people in reverently welcoming the
birthday Of Christ-but still more fore.
most in applying to the practices of our
daily lives those blessed precents and
examples by which the founder OF
Christmas is regenerating the world

When Aunt Nancy delivered this mes
sage, few minutes later, to Mrs.
Blake, she was greatly surprised; but
with the patience born of deep suffer
ing, she at once called the children to
accompany her, and went home, won
dering. as she walked along, how she
was to endure the agony of seeing her
home despoiled of it's treasures.
She had dreaded the sight of wagons
and people moving her goods, and, as
she entered the gate, was astonished to
see no one. Only Rollo, the old dog, lay
basking in the last rays of the setting
sun, and bounded up to meet them.
The children ran ioyfully up the walk,
and at the sight of the rooms, when
they entered, cried gleefully: "Why,
mamma, may be dere wasn't no nauc-
toni"
Mrs. Blake gave herself no time to
think, but fastened from one room to
another, seeking the lawyers, until she
came to her own room.
How pretty and homel;ke it still
looked! There was her husbands big
armchair, still drawn up to the table,
just as she had left it; the family Bible
still lay on its seat, but on it lay some
thing she had not left there, and as she
picked it up she read her own name on
the big envelope. With fingers trem-
bling SO she could hardly use them, she
tore it open and read:
my DEAR MRS. BLAKE: When you read the
inclosed letter, written twelve years ago, by
my friend and your husband. I think you will
not deny it is my right to give you the inclosed
deeds, etc, securing to you your home. He
gave me mine.

your children not an unhappy one. am

"A father to the fatherless, a husband

fellfrom the lips of the weeping woman,
who for the second time that day knelt
by the old armchair.
Then clasping her children in her
arms, she cried:
Thank God with me, my darlings;
we have homo once more!'
And is de nauction clear gone away,

'All gone, my treasure; every bit
