A Little Chat on the Annua.
Visit Of Old Santa Claus.

Old Santa Claus is on the
way, little children, and will no
doubt have a hard time provid-
ing for the lads and lassies who
spring up like mushrooms every
year. Old Santa is too wise to
complain of that, for if the lads
and lassies didn't spring up like
mushrooms, the old gentleman
would have to 60 out of bust
ness. There are more new fan
gled toys today than there ever
was heard Of before-all sorts of
inventions -buzwheels and BAN
giles, and Jangles, and contrap>
tons and confutements.
The children in this day and
time have more toys, and better
toys than Santa Claus could find
a century ago. Those who
have grown up and have chil>
dren of their own, can tell you
that the children were just as
happy when they had only a
few toys. They were happy
right dry SO. Give them a
bunch Of fire crackers and a tin
horn and they would ask for
nothing more. Even down to
this day, you will notice that a
boy with tin horn is just as
happy as can be. All that is
necessary is that the tin horn
should have a loud voice, and if
anybody ever saw a tin horn
with weak lungs we'd be glad
to have the particulars for pubs
LEGATION.
No doubt, as heretofore, there
are many little children, who
will not have even a tin horn,
this Christmas, and that is the
reason some of them refuse to
believe in Santa Chaus, or who
think he is an old fraud who
only visits houses where there is
money to burn. 1t is pity that
such rumor ever got abroad,
and all good men and women
should make haste to put a stop
to this rumor. Just go quietly
to the hunblest dwelling and
say to those who open unto you,
that Santa Claus was a little
tired and asked you to deliver a
few parcels for him. And then
when you have gone as far as
your purse will allow you, go
home, shut yourself up i'll your
room, and on your knees, thank
God for all he has given you,
and our word for it, you will
spend the happiest Christmas
in your whole lite.

have yassed since there fell up
on the ears OF very youthful
Jewish mother the most glad>
some sound that ever come to
nortal-the first wall of her
first born child. She was scarce
ly more than a child herself, be-
ing but about 10 years of age;
but tradition attaches to her
most excellent judgment, and a
maternal Instinct intellectually
strong. Besides did she not
know her boy had been foretold
by the angel? Thou shalt call
His name Jesus, because He
shall save His people from their
sins She might not love Him
The more because of His illus
trious destiny. but her heart
could not be but lifted up in
commendable pride at this re
Election, as she 9azed for the first
time into His dear sweet face
and His tiny blue eyes looked
wonderingly into hers. Then
the news quickly went abroad
angels from Heaven bearing
about the tidings Of the birth of
their King. They told the
Shepherds upon the plains of
Salem and the wise men Of the
east and all of them entered the
little caravansary of the village
of Bethlehem, and saw the babe
and its mother lying down in
the same room where were the
canels and horses and oxen of
strangers, who had come to Je
rusalem to be taxed. Angels
sang the praises Of the newly
born and a new star appeared in
the sky. The wise men brought
gifts and laid them at the feet
of the mother.
This was the first Christmas
and Mary was the first person
in ali the world to receive a
Christmas gift, and hers was in>
fnitely greater in value than all
combined that have been re-
ceived by all the people who
have lived or died. Her gift.

above all the women who have
lived or died, i'll being made the
mother of Him who should be
called Jesus, because He shall
save His people from their
sins"
The angel song to the shepl
herds had for its burden peace
to men of good will" One
could scarcely think of a Christ
mas that is other than gladstone
and joyous. The clouds may
be thick overhead, while in
north countries the earth may
have sheet of snow, and in the
southlands there may be thun>
der and rain. But there are
warmth, sunlight and gladness
in the heart-the best place in
all the world for them. In the
heart birds sings carol songs of
joy; il the heart flowers bloom,
leaves are out upon the trees
and velvety grass covers the
hills.
O, the Christmas tide
Christs birthday, day of all days
in the calendar. How hearts
glow Oh this day and warm
each to the other. How strife
and bitternesses end and all
cares, from without aud from
within, take on quick wings
and fly far away How self is
swallowed in love for those
about one, and all become, like
the Magi who visited Jesus,
bearers of gifts-gladheart gifts
that made radiant the cheeks of
donors as we'll as recipients.
O, the Christ day. Would
that the cher of the family
board the joyous home bringing
and the gladness of the heart
might be in every day of the
year. That, indeed, would be
bringing down of the new Jeru>
salem from Heaven to earth;
for then there would be no more
sorrow or tears, and wickedness
and sin would end in the land.
