But at Christmas II always Is young.
Tho heart OF tho jewel burns lustrous and fair.
And its soul full OF music breaks forth on tho
air,
When the song Of the angels is sung
Il IS coming, old earth, Il u coming tonight
On the snowiiakes which cover thy sod
The feet Of the Christ child fan gentle and
white,
And the voice OF the Christ child tells out with
delight
That mankind are the children Of God.
On the sad and the lonely. the wrciohed and
poor,
The voice OF the Christ child shall fall
And TO every blind wanderor open the door
Ola hope that he dared not 20 dream of before.
With a sunshine OF welcome for all.
The feet OF the humblcst may walk In the hoid
Where the feet OF the Iloliest have trod,
This. this Is the marvel 20 mortals revealed
When the silvcry trumpcts Of Christmas have
pealcd,
That mankind are the children OF God.

A LIVELY OLD PAIR.

Harders Flint, Esq. lawyer, sat alone
in his bachelors den in big easy chair,
his feet incased in pair of dilapidated
old slippers, resting on the fender, his
hands thrust half way into his trousers
packets and his head bent forward until
his chin rested on his breast. On the
table beside him lay couple of newspa-
pers and yellow covered law book,
open at the page he had been consulting.
Lawyer Flint was deep in perplexing
thought, to judge by the expression of
his face, for his brow was clouded and
his lips compressed, and occasionally he
turned his head toward the open volume
as if inclined to seek further aid from
it, but with slight shake of the head
relapsed again into his former attitude.
He had sat thus for long time when
there was knock at the door,
"Come in" said the lawyer, without
looking up.
A servant girl entered, handed him a
note and withdrew.
Lawyer Flint opened the note, read it,
uttering an exclamation of impatience,
arose and paced up and down the room.
$50 ROlingOld can't meet me tomor-
row because it's Christmas" he NUT
tered, as he stalked across the floor; "ev-
cry day is important in this matter and
yet he, the one most interested, delays
proceedings twenty-four hours simply be-
cause it happens to be Christmas Gadl
| can't see how u business man like ROl-
ingold can be sa-fooHzls Well" he con
tinued, 'let him take his holiday and
enjoy it if he can; l couldn't. It's many
and many long day since Christmas
interfered with my business"
He returned to his chair, but the train
of his thought had been interrupted and
his face now wore cynical, hard look
as he gazed into the cracking fire. Once,
long ago, his Christmas days had been
bright, too, but their brightness was OBJ
scured by more vivid recollectlons OF
| other Christmas times in later years,
when ambition and disappointment and
poverty and greed had steeled his heart
and left no room for Christmas thoughts.
Oh, the years that he had worked and
starved and boarded to reach his present
condition of comfortable independence
AS he looked back upon them now his
lips closed tighter and the bitterness
deepened in his face.
From a distant part of the house came
the sound of music, and the laughter O.

The stock of merchandise may be va

in the most seductive manner possible,
hut the measure of success will be very
small if the salesman is inefficient or I'M

that the halls of congress are his proper
sphere may be correct; it is pretty GER
tain that clerking behind the bingham
counter is not. 1t is better to be a good
lawyer or constable than an Indifferent
ribbon or cheese dispenser. A merchant
should be a good salesman himself
courteous, genial, obligins, well inform

should have only good clerks about him.
Better no clerks than poor ones. And
the clerk who is not a success should
either quickly improve or quit the bust
