HANG UP THE STOCKINGS.

For 1t Is Out Of Them That the Great
Christmas Fun Comes for tho Children.
The Christmas tree is all very well,
it is splendid" in fact, and how
beautiful it looks with the candles
lighted and the bright tinted balls and
bells and eggs and hearts and stars
shining all oyer it; but it is nothing to
the stocking in the chimney-place on
Christmas eve. Have the tree by all
means. But if you want to make the
children happy don't omit the stock
ings 1t is English and fashionable to
have the tree, with all the aunts and
uncles and cousins asked, and gifts for
everybody, and music and dancing
and games, and cakes and oranges and
candies and lemonade and funny reci-
tations, and all sorts of things. But
oh, the stockings! When everyone has
brought pair of the longest and big
gest, and papa has taken pains to hang
them SO that they are strong, and all
is quite still in the street and it is bed
time, what wonderful ideas come into
the little minds, and what pleasant
memories into those of the grown-ups.
What mother would like to miss the
little exhibition of hope and faith.
The child who trusts most ardently in
the benevolent Santa Claus will be
most likely to put faith in Heavens
mercies in his after life; for Santa
Claus always comes when he is expect
ed, and when mother and father hang
the stockings up he is sure to put
something in them.

what you had for your three-year-old
baby-and upstairs Baby Beth was
dying. All week long, with the fierce
ness of tigress fighting for her
young, Margaret Thorne had fought
for her child's life. From the moment
that the first hoarse cough smote upon
her ear and Beth had said: Mamma,
it hurts me here when toff," she had
lost no time. All that doctors, nurses,
servants, friends-even mother-love
itself-could do, had been done, and
now in her darkened chamber the
mother sat with her baby on her knees
and waited. Towards night change
had come. The harsh cough ceased,
the painting breath came more quietly.
Didn't she seem easier?" she had
asked, and the doctor had answered
briefly: EYES," Then, after an interval
of waiting: "Wasn't her breathing less
labored?'' The doctor made no reply.

It is curious to see the effect, upon
different temperaments, of such a
shock. Some receive it with cries and
lamentations; others with silent tears;
some with blanched faces and tighten
ing lips; while few shut the teeth to-
gether and make no other sign. And
under it all is the mother heart and
the same wound, and who shall say
that there is great grief, but here is less?

shed no tear-she would have ''to-mor-

She glanced furtively at him. He
rested his head on his right hand. his

fixed on the child as if he would in
these few moments left feast his fam
ished heart upon that which had been
so long withheld. Something in his
position made Margaret think of one
other night when they had sat like this
and watched Beth through the Group,
and how they had felt that If God
would only spare her they could have
nothing in life to trouble them again.
How gentle and tender John had been
that night!
And then there was the time that
Beth was burned and John had walked
with her the whole night long and
would not even let the mother rest
him, because ''she was weak and he
was strong" he had said. How the
memories came thronging upon her

herself here tomorrow, but Beth
would be gone-downstairs would be a
baby that would look like her, but il
would not be Beth. And then there
would be the funeral. And then the

said he should never take from her and

Who comes dancing over the snow,
His little soft feet oil bare and rosy?
Open the door, though the wild winds blow:
Take the child in and make him cozy,
Take him in. and hold him dear;
He is the wonderful New Year.
Open your heart, be it sad or gay,
Welcome him there and use him kindly;
For you must carry him, yea or nay,
Carry him with shut eyes so blindly.
But whether he bringeth JOY or fear,
Take himl God sends him-this good New
Year.
