Nowadays when young fellow wishes
to partake Of osculatory bliss. he says
let's Hobson or If the kiss is stolen

having been 'Hobsonized ""'.' Then
again there is another and more SER

scientists teit us that disease microbes

other by the act of kissing. This may
all be true, yet observation leads me to
believe that young people, as a rule,

CHRISTMAS EVE ON HAnMAR HILL.

IT'S midnight hour on Harmar Hill.
The city slumbers down below,
Electric lights like fre.fiies glow,
And everything is hushed aud still.
As slow the hours drag away,
Think about the day agone,
And anxiously await the dawn
To usher In the Holy Day.
In rapturous dreams OF baby dolls
Ny little one now calmly sleeps,
While here and there a shadow creeps
Along the dingy cottage walls;
And, as hang her little toy
Upon the tiny Christmas tree.
The distant years come back to me ...
And am but an anxious boy
For while l dream beside the hearth,
seem 70 hear dear one tell
story that loved so well
About the Babe of Royal Birth; IH"

And soft and sweet DER hill and dell,
Comes peace on earth, good v i'll TO men.

Growth of the Soul.

Though times and seasons are not
as important as many would have US
think, still nearly every thoughtful
person at the coming of a new year
remembers how old he is and wishes
he were not quite so old. Let us turn
our minds away from the tabernacle
of flesh, the least real thing in our
lives, and think little of the inward
growing old. For the body every add
ed period is loss; for the soul every
added growth is almost incalculable
gain. How old are we? How much
older than a year, two years, ten years
ago? How much quicker to recognize
the Divine voice? How much stronger
our hand and clearer our voice against
evil? How much swifter our feet to
bear the message of good will to men?
How much gain has there been in pow
er and willingness to serve? How much
more faithful are we in the chaos of
small and common duties and cares?
How much truer are we in friendship,
warmer in the home loves, more pa
tient with the mistaken and the bad?
Round our tree of life, as it has strug
gled up toward the sky, whether
it bear the spring buds or the sum-
mer green, or the dead russet of the

Christmas in New York.

Jacob 4. Riis, in an article in the
Century Magazine on MERRY Christ
mas in the Tenements," says:
In hundred places all over the city,
when Christmas comes, as many open
air fairs spring suddenly into life. A
kind of Gentle Feast of the Taber-
nacles possesses the tenement districts
especially. Green-embowered booths
stand in rows at the curb, and the
voice of the tin trumpet is heard in
the land. The common source of all
the show is down by the North river,
in the district known as ''the Farm" F"
Down there Santa Claus establishes
headquarters early in December and
until past New Year. The broad
quay looks then more like a clearing in
a pine forest than a busy section of
the metropolis. The steamers dis
charge their loads of fir trees at the
piers until they stand stacked noun
tain high with foothills of holly and
ground-ivy trailing off towards the
land side. An army-train of wagons
is engaged in carting them away from
early morning till late at night; but the
green forest grows, in spite of it all,
until in places it shuts the shipping
out of sight altogether. The air is
redolent with the smell of balsam and
pine. After nightfail, when the lights
are burning in the busy market, and
the homeward-bound crowds with
baskets and heavy burdens of Christ
mas green's jostle each other with
good-natured banter-nobody is ever
cross down here in the holiday season
it is good to take stroll through
"the Farm" if one has spot in his
heart faithful yet to the hills and the
woods in spite of the latter-day city
But it is when the moonlight is upon
the water and upon the dark phantom
forest, when the heavy breathing OF
some passing steamer is the only
sound that breaks the stiffness of the
night, and the watchman smokes his
lonely pipe upon the bulwark, that
"the Farm" has a mood and an at
mosphere all its own, full of poetry
which some day painters brush will
catch and hold.

line, and how old we are is being

we press upward, and in all best
