The Childlilke Mind.

Christmas is not only the mile mark
of another year moving us to thought
of determination, it is a season, from
all its associations, whether domestic
or religious, suggesting thoughts OF
joy. A man dissatisfied with his en-
deavors is man tempted to sadness
And in the midst of the winter, when
his life runs lowest and he is remind
ed of the empty chairs Of his beloved,
it is we'll he should be condemned to
this fashion of the smiling face Noble
disappointment, noble self-denial are
not to be admired, not even to be par
dOned, if they bring bitterness. 1t is
one thing to enter the Kingdom Of
Heaven MAIN; another to MAIN your
self and stay without. And the King
dom of Heaven is like the child-like,
of those who are easy to please, who
love and who give pleasure. Mighty
men of their hands, the smiters and
the builders and the judges, have lived
long and done sternly, and yet pre-
served this lovely character; and
among our carpet interests and two
penny concerns, the shame were in
delible if We should lose it.-From a
Christmas Sermon by Robert Louis
Stevenson.

Christmas in the country forty years
ago was a different affair from what
il is now. | never think of Christmas
in those days without thinking of a
lovely winter day, bright with sun
shine, and snow everywhere; large
drifts, through which the horses floun-
dered as they drew the stout sled, on
which was the wagon-bed filled with
hay, and covered with blankets and
buffalo-robes, where we cuddled down.
as we rode merrily away to spend
Christmas at grandpa's. We could
hardly wait till the horses stopped, so
eager were we to wish grandpa mer-
ry Christmas; but he was generally
ahead of us with his greeting OF

to a present instead of us; but kiss
all around was usually the way we paid
off our Indebtedness, while some strip
ed sticks of peppermint candy, laid up
| for the occasion. were given us. Our
aunts, uncles and cousins came next
, for their share of good wishes and
merry jokes.
A bright fire burned in the fireplace,
and there, suspended by stout string
| from the ceiling, was a great turkey
packed full of dressing, and sending

round and round, gradually browning

a great pan on the brick hearth; and
| from this pan grandma occasionally
| dipped the juice with a huge iron spoon
and poured it over the crisp sides OF
| the turkey. Other preparations were
| going on meanwhile in the kitchen,
where a cooking stove held the place
of honor, as cooking-stOves were very
rare in those days. The neighbors had
come miles to see it, and express their
fears as to the probability of its blow

was not equal to cooking such large

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH
German Writer Says the Chancellor
Speculated on State Secrets,

1T processes to give some curious de-
tails in regard to the present fortune
OF the eX chancellor and how it was
acquired. After the German war of
1870 the prince received from the coun-
try two estates of no great value, which
coupled with his own paternal estate,
brought him in a fair revenue. He
then left Bleichroeder TO look after his
private monetary affairs, with the re-
suit that he now has a fortune amount
ing TO 150,000,000 marks. This. the
author contends, can only have been
made by stock exchange speculations.
based on the knowledge that the
prince derived from his position at
the head of the German government.
and which he cOnfided to Bleichroeder.
That, with the cares of empire on his
shoulders, he left his monetary affairs
in the hands OF his banker is very
possible. and equally possible is it that
his banker did the best for his client.
But | should require a good deal more
evidence than is afforded in this pam
phlet TO believe that the prince specu-
lated on state secrets in partnership
with a Hebrew financier or that his
fortune is now anything like 100000
900 marks.

Reliable Data About California.

An American geography printed in
1872 contains this interesting informa-
ton: California is a wild and almost
unknown land, covered throughout the
year by dense fogs, as damp as they
are unhealthy. On the northern shores
live anthropophagi and in the interior
are active volcanoes and vast plains OF
shifting snow, which sometimes shoot
ND columns to inconceivable heights. -
The book adds that some of these
statements would seem incredible were
they not so well authenticated by trust
worthy travellers.

Yet when Miss Dimsdale came rome

victoria which had seen better days,
drawn by a pair of cobs which, let
use mercifully hope, would never see
worse than they enjoyed in sleek COM

description of the party. How Lady
Jane had specially asked for her and
had sent her dear love to her; how
sorry she was, and everybody else, that
Miss Dimsdale had had to go and see
that tiresome lawyer on that particular
afternoon; how Lady Jane had told
her that her new white frock was eX-
Quisite, and that she ought always to
wear full sleeves because they became
her so well, and finally how there had
been one of the officers from Colchester
at the party and she had been his part

NO Auntie, he wasn't" Dorothy
answered. You see, Lady Jane does
not like David Stevenson very much. =
Il know that" said Miss Dimsdale
shortly.
On the whole Mss Dimsdale would
have liked Dorothy to marry David
Stevenson, who was young and a good
enough fellow to make good husband.
He had a well-kept valuable farm of
four hundred acres mile or two from
Graveleigh, with a convenient and
spacious house thereon, of which he
was very anxious to make Dorothy
mistress. But Dorothy had, with a
strange perversity, said nay over and
over again, and she seemed in no desire
to change her mind now. Miss Dims-
dale gave sigh as she thought of il
for David Stevenson's mother had
been her dearest friend-but all the
same. she was not the woman to try
to force the childs inclination.
Mr.. Harris asked me if he might

said Dorothy presently, after a
pause.
Mr.. Harris! and who is Mr.. Har-
ris?" asked Miss Dimsdale, startled
out of a reverie about David Steven

sciously and dear friend as she was Of
Marion Dimsdale's, had stepped in AMI

She began then To tell Dorothy all
about her day in Colchester. What the
lawyer had said. now she had been TO

dler's TO say that the harness of the
little cob which ran in the village
cart must be overhau!ed and generally
looked to- Then how she had found

had bought one or two new things IN

this had been offered to her at such a
reasonable price that she had been

"Auntie," cried Dorothy.
''Oh, | did not say it was for you,
child" said Miss Dimsdale promptly.
Dorothys face fell, and Miss Dims-
dale laughed. There, child, there, |
won't tease you about it. There it is

And Dorothy naturally enough
jumped up and ran TO open the box in
which the belt was packed, opening it
eagerly, and uttering a cry of delight
when she saw the beautiful ornament
lying within. 1t was lovely thing,
and in her pleasure and pride at the

that she hardly liked to turn back to
face the gaze of her aunt's calm, far
seeing eyes.

From every spire on Christmas eve,
The Christmas bells ring clearly out
Their message of good will and peace.
With many a call and silver shout.
For faithful hearts, the angels song
Still echoes in the frosty air,
And by the altar low they bow
In alteration and in prayer.
A thousand blessed mem'ries throng,
The stars are holy signs TO them,
And from the eyes Of every child
Looks forth the Babe of Bethlehem.
But there are others, not like these,
Whose brows are sad. whose hopes
are crossed,
To whom the season brings no cheer,
And life's most gracious charm is
lost.
To whom that story, old and sweet.
Is but fable at the best;
The Christmas music mocks their ears,
And life has naught Of joy or rest.
Oh. for an angels voice to pierce
The clouds of grief that DER them
rise,
The miSts of doubt and unbelief
That veil the blue of Christmas skies.
That they, at last, may see the light
Which shines from Bethlehem and
unfolds
For Christ the treasures of their hearts
Richer than spicery or gold.
Hope of the ages, draw Thou near,
1, oil I,
And when Thou reign'st in every heart.
1t will indeed be Christmas day.
