A CHRISTMAS CAROL.



Dark are the days, the nights are long,
Blithe summers Joys are done.
Yet in orr hearts we keep the sun,
And raise cheerful song;
Bare is the world, or deep i'll snow, ff
Yet are our souls aglow;
What spell is this, what still mysterious
voice,
That calls Rejoice Rejoice"
1t is. that on the weary earth
With every dying year
A great hope dawns glorious birth,
Returns our souls TO cheer;
Again, ngain, the Eternal Child,
The Virgin.mother mild,
Ring ioy-bels, ring clear through the
frosty air,
Ring gladness everywhere,
Sound. gracious as that heavenly word
OF old, in Bethlehem.
BY night of wondering shepherds heard
When angels spake with them.
Peace, peace on earth to faithful men,"
This be our strain as then;
To-day, to-day let all rejoice indeed
Whate'er their form of creed.
Peace be and joy! Ay, though it seem
To world worn eyes and ears
Across dark gulphs Of strife and tears
Only Il heavenly dream.
Divine, divine our souls shall hold
Those precious words of old;
Good viii and peace to men-the halt, the
blind,
The poor, nay all mankind.
Therefore we raise our cheerful song
A strain of solemn mirth;
Our hopeis clear, our faith is strong
In u regcnerate earth
No doubt shall come our eyes to dim
Or check our faithful voice:
| To peace on earth, we raise our Christmas
hymn
Whose burden is "Rejoice"

Unexpectedly Oh the queer notion that
toward the end of life there is n reverse

supposed to become little again. The
first instance of this was supplied me by
the Worcester collections of Thoughts.

mother, "When am big girl, and you
are little girl, shall whip you just as
you whipped me now" At first one is
almost disposed to think that this child

seems too improbable, and l have since
found that she is not by any means the
only one who has entertained this idea,
