CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Tho earth has grown old with it's turden Of
onfa.
But at Christmas II always Is young.
The heart Of the Jewel burns lustrous and fair,
And ~ soul full Of music breaks forth on the
cir,
When the song Of the angels is sung.
It's coming, old earth, Il Is coming tonight
On the snowfakes which cover thy sod
The feet Of the Christ child fall gentle and
white,
And tbe voice of the Christ child tells out with
delight
That mankind are the children Of God.
On the sad and tho lonely, the wretohed and
poor,
The voice OF the Christ child shall fall;
Aud % every blind wsnderer open the door
Ofn hope that he dared not TO dream Of before
With a sunshine Of welcome for all.
The feet Of the humblest may walk in the fold
Whore the feet Of tho Holiest have trod,
This, thle " tho marvel 10 mortals revealed
When the silvery trumpets Of Christmas have
neaied,
That nankind are the children Of God.

Why the Shark Is Always Hungry.
As it is a source of wonder how the
flea manages TO exist in the sand, where
his chances of obtaining a meal may
not occur once in a lifetime, so natural
lists are puzzled as to how the shark
maintains himself. The ocean is wide,
and the number Of men who fall over
board small indeed in comparison to its
area. The vast proportion of sharks,
then, must 60 through their lives with
out remote chance Of obtaining a meal
at the expense Of the human kind.
There is no ground for the supposition
that the shark can exist upon air; he is
not like the whale, provided with an ap,
paratus that enables him TO sweep up
the tiny inhabitants of the seas. He is
too slow in swimming, and infinitely toe
slow in turning, to catch any fish that
did not deliberately swim into his mouth,
and unless we suppose that, as it is said
of the snake, he exercises a magnetic in,
| huence over fish and causes them TO rush
| headlong TO destruction between his
jaws, it is impossible TO imagine how he
obtains a sufficient supply Of food for his
sustenance.
Indeed, it would appear that it is only
when he gets the good luck to light upon
a dead or badly injured fish that the
shark has ever the opportunity of max
ing a really square meal. His prolonged
fasts certainly furnish an ample explana
tion and excuse for his alleged savagery
