Some years after the closeSof the war
had permitted our material development
to go forward with great leaps and
bounds, it began to be discovered that
there were no limits to the power Of
railroad corporations. There were act
ually those who asserted that the
making Of rates was an exercise Of the
sole power Of the railroad; and that.
although the people might protest, they.
could not ii any way limit or interfere
with this power without denying the
right Of private property and endanger-
ing vested interests. Itswas as q protest

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

CHRISTMAS CHIN EB.
What Music floats
upon the midnight air
AS sweet and SOL
emn as an angels prayer I
What message to the
world, of joy and peace
What promise that the
reign Of wrong shall cease
What word of hope to
those that watch and weep
What blessed balm to
bid the work. worn sleep,
To soothe the sufferer
on his couch pain,
To cleanse the sin. sick
spirit from its stain ?
The mother kneeling
by her dying child
Remembers how
the Holy Mother mild
Wept DER her Sa-
cred Son in Palestine.
The poor remember
how the One divine
Had not place where
to lay his gentle head.
The wretched Magda-
Iene recalls who said
To one like her. "For
loves sake be forgiven"
In evil haunts the chains
of vice are riYen,
The oath is hushed,
and the repentant tear
Dims eyes that have
been dry for many year.
1t is the music of
the Christmas chimes
That, like an anthem
of the oldeu times
When men still lived who
saw the Christ on earth
And heard the seraph
choral at his birth,
Repeats the gracious
promise yet again.
Where shall be peace on
earth, good. will to men,"

Minnie rose from her chair and stood
before small mirror.

as she took her seat by the table again.
Her mother looked silently at the
dimpled peach-bloom face with its sun,

its wealth of golden curls nesting about
the childlike forehead.
Life is full of disappointments, she
said sadly.
