the legs out sideways with amazing
rapidity, and above all, doing the real
work from the hips. Moving thus, it is
n sight to see them do half mile burst
at the rate of 30 miles an hour. Not
many years ago the Lincolnshire volun-
teers performed the feat by which a
Dutch army once repulsed force of
Frenchmen on the Scheldt-with rifle
in hand they sl1ated the same distance
in "fours,n with the "captain at their
head, majestic and wonderful to behold"
There is tradition that Benjamin
West was able to trace in his skate on
the ice the outlines of any statue that
might be named to him. | am quite
unable to imagine such artistic skating,
and can only take refuge from the OPP
pressiveness of the idea in theconfidence
that it can't be true. In fact, if had
not moral convictions against the per-
instability of betting | would not hest
tate to "bacl" the audacious pirouetters
and marvellous figurantes of Central
Park, New York, against the lords of
the Serpentine, the Scheldt, Neva, or Of
all the world besides.
Skating is healthy amusement,
hearty, seasonable, social and full of
opportunities for good will and good
fellowship and with an undoubting
conscience we may wish all knights and
danes of the ice this winter free roll
of water, the wind blowing fair from
behind, the ice firm as marble and
smooth as glass. AMELIA L. BARR.

CHRISTMAS EYE.

IAN un1nlshd poem from the pen OF the late
Fannie L. hIlchener of this city, who died De-
ceinber 10th, 1882, aged 10 yealsl
Twas Christmas Eve, and the bells were
ringing,
The street-lamps their brilliant lights were
tlinging
Across the pavements of spotless white,
Relieving the dark of the winter night,
The rich, in their furs so warmly drest,
Were hurrying home to the dear home
nest.
The poor, neither richly clad nor warm,
Were battling weakly against the storm,
For the snow was falling in gusty whirls,
Robing the earth in dress Of pearls;
Powdering the streets with snowy white,
And adding a charm to the winter night,
Twas Christmas Eve, and the bells were
ringing;
Inside the churches were music and singing.
Singing the anthems for Christmas morn,
That glorious day when the Christ was
born.
Little Leons fingers were numb and cold,
And powdered with snow Were the curls of
gold.
A beautiful child so thinly clad,
With wistful eyes So dark and sad;
And angel face and a slender form,
Too frail to be out in such storm,
He had been to many house that day,
For some to sing, for some to play.
He has now turned from his weary chase,
With a pitiful look on his childish face.
For only five pence in his pockets lay;
1t was all he had earned that wintry day.
Poor sad little orphanl His mother was
dead
No home-not even place for his head.
Poor child with uplifted face to the sky
He thought of the One that could hear his
cry.
He thought of the One in the low cattle
He thought that Child had no place for
His head.
SO he prayed, as he struggled on through
the snow,
Father, lead me where should go"
A burst Of music comes over the street,
A ray of light streams down at his feet,
While Glory to God!" floats to him
there,
And Glory to God T. rings on the air.
The music ceases; he gropes for the door
And steps, half frightened, along the floor
And enters a pew and bows his head,
For Z Let us pray, the minister said.
When the prayer is over he raises his face;
There are people there in jewels and lace,
Again bursts forth the glad refrain,
Over and over and over again
Glory to God Z the orphan sings;
" Glory to God /" the anthem rings.
Curled in the pew so snug and warm,
The child thinks not of the raging storm,
Till the glorious anthem dies away,
And the hours move ON toward Christmas
Day.
The people pass through the open door,
