ALL A MISTAKE.

And So the Poor Fellow Lost His Christ
mas Present
On Christmas morning three or four
years ago started out for hunt with
Mississippi planter, and when we had
gone about half mile from the house
we came full upon a colored man who
had killed pig weighing about one
hundred pounds and was dressing it.
He had no warning of our approach,
but exercised wonderful nerve. As
soon as we came up he removed his
hat, bowed very low and said:
''Kurnel, war jist comm up to de
house to restore you my thanks. Low

guide HIM rightly for many day he'd
sought,
And there was not single volume on the
shelves above or below
That could throw any light on the problem
that puzzled and vexed him so.
For the harvest season was over, and Christ
mas was close at hand,
And the glow of the rising splendor already il
lumed the land;
And there on the desk before him, in orderly
neatness. lay
The sermon he meant to deliver to his people
on Christmas day.
So twas not this that disturbed him. nor was
he q moment vexed
BY any doubt or delusion in regard to his
chosen text;
For he preached but a simple gospel, in Ian
guage as terse and plain
AS the smooth. round pebbles that David took
when the mighty giant was slain.
The pastor thought of his little flock, the chill
dren great and small,
And great was the loving kindness with which
he regarded all;
And yet a wave of trouble ran over his heart,
because
They thought much less of Jesus Christ than
they did Of Santa Claus.
For one and another whispered-their words
had an eager ring
What shall get on Christmas? What will
Santa Claus bring?'
And as everywhere and ever the thirst for
gain increased.
The charm of kingly presence was missed
from the royal feast.
The pastor sat in his study, when his good
wife opened the door,
And together they held communion and talked
the trouble DER;
And she, being quick Of fancy, in moment or
two had planned
A better way for keeping the day that was now
so close at hand.
The pastor gave the notice from the pulpit
next Sabbath morn,
And to brain and heart, like swift-winged
dart, was the startling message borne,
For he spoke in words of fire the truth they
must all believe:
'aThe Master has said: 1t is far more blessed
to give than TO receiver
And if at the Christmas season you'd be richly
and truly blest,
Bring hither your votive offering,-and let it
be of your best
And give to the poor around you with generous
heart and hand,
That peace and goodwill to men may fill tie
length and breadth of the land"
'Twas early in bleak December the barrels
came rolling in,
The farmers sending their choicest from we'll
stored barn and bin:
There we're apples and pears in plenty, and
pumpkins, yellow as gold,
And nuts and potatoes, together enough for a
vessels hold,
And bags on bags of flour and of coffee, and
chests of tea
And strings of onions and peppers,-oh! twas
goodly sight to see.
And the work of nimble fingers to such an
amount was there,
1t seemed as if the collection outrivaled the
County Fair.
There were dolls of assorted sizes, and some
that had been much used,
For the little folks had nought else to give and
not gift was refused;
For the pastor would teach the lesson to chill
dren of tender years,
That the gift that secures a blessing must be
consecrated with tears.

That carried blessing with them and lifted
their souls to Heaven:
For out of this rich abundance the hungry were
sweetly fed,
The naked were clothed, and the sick and sor-
rowful cheered and comforted;
And so great was the joy of giving. that pastor
and people felt
AS if with the wise men of the east at the
Savour's feet they knelt
Oh, never brighter Christmas had dawned on
the dull old town,
Never had richer blessings been scattered so

And taught by the Holy Spirit their selfish

All hearts rejoiced--and on Christmas day was

New time for toll and new space for winning
The guerdon of happiness free to all
New hope for the souls long clouded over
With possible SORROWS and actual pain;
New joys for comrade, and friend, and lover,
The year is bringing them all again.
New days and hours for the patient building
OF noble character, pure and truei
For faith and love, with their radiant gliding.
To make the temple of life anew.
A Happy New Year, and truce to sadness,
Its every moment by God is planned;
Whatever may come, whether grief or glad
ness,
Must come Alright from a Fathers hand.
He blessed the old in its dawning-thenceforth
His love was true to US all the way.
And now in the hitherto shines the henceforth,
And out of the yesterdays smiles to-day.
We would have power in this year to brighten
Each lot less blessed and fair than ours;
The woe to heal and the load to tighten,
The waste soul-garden to plant with flowers
May every day be royal possession
To high-born purpose and steadfast aim,
And every hour in it's swift progression
Make life more worthy than when it came.
