CHRISTMAS.

Christmas, whether conducted under the
Lord of Misrule or the Abbot of Unrea-
son, should flavor of mirth. He who on
that day preserves good will to men"
will help to speed the joyous festival on
its course. Be you agnostic or humani-
tartan, for that day take the tale as it is
told. Let good fellowship gladden. your
right hand, but let it not know that your
left, reaching out from your heart, is
pouring the sweets of Christmas charity
among the needy, assuaging, at least for
that day, the sorrows of the year. You
should not be too practical in your re-
membranes of the day. The wife may
present the husband with rug or a
parlor chair, but he never remembers
the gift, while some little trinket, value.
less in itself, is treasured for the sake OF
the donor. Be judicious not practical al
Christmas time, and remember
This grand old earth will borrow your
mirth--
1t has trouble enough of its own"
