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 incaleulable
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 tluer are we in friendship,
warmer in the home loves, more pa
:tient with the mistaken and the bad ?

gled up toward the sky, whether

a scene Of falryland their house was
at Christmas for the little girl and
for her troops of friends, for all that
love could suggest and wealth could
secure was brought and laid at the
feet of their darling.
And what dreadful change when
the fifth Christmas came. In the Sep
TENDER before, the little girl, bright
and beautiful child, suddenly sickened,
and within week she slept on the
sunshiny slope of gentle knoll look
ing out over the beautiful blue river r
sweeping by with a murmur as OF
angels wings. For weeks the father
and mother refused to be comforted,
nor would they go away to other
scenes. There the little one had
filled their hearts and lives and there,
thew insisted, should the empty shell
remain. Elsewhere in the world there
was nothing; in that spot were, at
least the memories of their idollzed

she opened her eyes and her arms, and
the baby, with satisfied coo, cuddled
close to the mothers breast
:That was the crisis, and as 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"
Down there Santa Claus establishes
headquarters early in December and
until past New Year. The broad
quay looks then more like clearing in
pine forest than 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 greens jostle each other with
good-natured banter-nobody is ever
cross down here in the holiday season
it is good to Aake a stroll through
"the Farm if one has a 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 Waterman smokes his
lonely pipe upon the bulwark, that
''the Farm" has a mood and an at
mosphere all it's own, full of poetry,
which some day a painters brush will
catch and hold.
