A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
BY BARTON GRAY.

Comes it again, the sweet and solemn hour!
Comes with the pomp of power and of peace;
Glory for its garment and holiness its dover,
Love and Joy and comfort and pains sureeaSe.
Pilgrims of time, hasting 10 your haven,
Hearts that hunger for the bread oflife,
Feet pressing on to the streets star-paven,
Hands falling fast i'll the bitter strife.
High and holy hopes in the hushed heart hidden,
Eyes that long for the coming of His feet,
Smiling baby-lips by His lips unchidden,
Old heads bowed in the burden aud the heat:
Look up sad eyes, for the seAm is on the noun
tains,
Faint not, feeble knees. for your rest draws nigh
Stoop, parched lips, 10 the everlasting fountains
Which human want and woe shall not drain dry !
Long have the servants tarricd for their Master
Long have the toilers Travelled without rest;
Rough is the road and the night falls faster;
Weary are the seekers; barren is the quest.
Comes the help at last when the need is sorest;
Cleans the light Of life through the nights dark
dream:
Hear the glad tdings whispered through the forest
Rushing in the whirlwind, lisping in the stream
Behold Son born Behold Child given!
Saviour. Prince, Father, Mighty to release
Wonderful His name on the earth, in the heayenl
Joy His Kingdom, and the end thereof Peace!
Come Thou Eternal Beloved of the nations
Come to the hearts that thirst uusufficed;
Crown human faith and give to human patience
All the peace of God, all the love of Christi

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.
Translated from the French for Romance by Eliza
Lutley Boucher


Translated from the French for Romance by Eliza
Luiley Boucher
1t was stormy Christmas Eve, and the
little town of Tromsoe was completely en-
veloped in the ermine mantle Of mid-win-
ter. Snow had been falling all day, and
as the night approached, large fakes were
still being driven hither aud thither by the
furious wind, which howled and roared in
the chimneys, shook the carefully closed
windows, and died away in the distance
ike the last despairing wall of lost soul
In one of the most miserable houses OF
a wretched street, in the worst quarter OF
the town, woman by the dim light of a
fickering candle watched beside the sick
bed of her last remaining child. She was
weeping bitterly, but strove to stitie her
sobs fol fear OF disturbing the fitful slum-
bers of the sufferer. As the furious tenn
pest shook the dilapidated tenement, she
trembled as if she already felt the dread
presence of the Angel of Death. No
Christmas fagot blazed on the miserable
hearth, the happy voices of laughing chill
dren and kind friends had for her long
been stilled, aud the cold, sorrow and pow
erty which reigned within seemed but
counterpart of the desolation without. Be
hind the lowered curtains of the bed could
he heard from time to time the short cough
and labored breathing of the child, who at
last. suddenly awaking, raised herself on
her elbow, and looked across the room,
where, as in a vision, she again beheld the
Christmas trees of her earlier years, with
their accompaniments Of tapers, bon-bons,
toys and golden stars, cleaning amid the
darkness of that sombre room. She was a
Young girl of twelve or fourteen years Of
age. and the sweet, pale face, although in
the last stage of emaciation, still retained
traces of delicate youthful beauty.
With her dying voice she still continued
to talk of the fete-days of long ago, when
she was rosy healthy little child. and her
brothers and sisters Eric, John, Anton,
Hilda and Bertha, crowded around her
with their pretty Christmas offerings; when
her father danced her on his knee, and her
mother sang sweet lullabys by her cradle
Those days seemed far away. Erie and
her father had persisted in shipwreck
then, one by one, the others had followed
till death had left behind only the grim
sisters, sickness and misery, as the sole
companions of the widow and her child,
The vivid remembrance of past happi
ness had brought strange light into Greta
eyes, and soon these childish "reminiscences
gave place to hope. She spoke Of th'
spring which would bring back the birds
and the flowers, and in giving life to al
else would surely not entirely forget her
self.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

in the rush of early morning
When the red burns through the gray.
And the wintry world lies waiting
For The glory of the day,
Then we hear a fltfTl rHstling
Just without upon the stair,
See small white phantoms coming.
Catch the CLEAN Of sunny hair
Are they Christmas fairies stealing
Rows oflittle socks to ILL.,
Are they angels floating hither
With their message Of good will?
What sweet spells are these elves weaving.
As like larks they chirp and sing?
Are these palms of peace from heaven
That these lovely spirits bring ?
Rosy feet upon the threshold.
Eager faces peeping through,
With the first red ray of sunshine.
Chanting eherubs come in view;
Mistletoe and cleaning holly,
symbols of blessed day,
In their chubby hands they carry.
Streaming all along the way
Well VIC know them, never weary
OF this innocent surprise;
Waiting, watching, listening always
With full hearts and tender eyes
While our household angels,
White and golden in the sun,
Greet us with the sweet old welcome
Merry Christmas, every one !!

"BELLs ACROSS THE SNOW"

o. Christmas Merry Christmas!
Is it really come again,
With its memories and greetings
With its joy and with its pain?
There's minor in the carol,
And shadow in the light;
And a spray of Cypress twinins
With the holly wreath tonight.
And the hush is never broken
by laughter, light and low.
As we listen in the starlight,
To the bells across the snow.
q Christmas, merry Christmas!
'Tis not so very long
Since ether voices blended
With the carol and the song
five could but hear them singing,
As they are singing now,
five could but see the radiance
of the crown on each dear brow.
There would be no signs to smother.
No hidden tears to flow,
As we listen in the starlight,
To the bells across the snow.
o Christmas. merry Christmas
This never more can be;
We cannot bring again the days
OF our unshadowed glee.
But Christmas, happy Christmas.
sweet herald of goodwill,
With holy songs ofglory
Brings holy gladness still.
For peace and hone made brighter
Aud palient loCc may glow.
As We listen in the starlight,
To the bells across the snow.
