A Chriafmaa Fable.

The Roots of the old sycamore tree, which extended deep into the ground beside the Brook. were disposed to make merry with it.
 You have no Christmas said the Roots jeeringly. You may have a good time in summer, when you can see and talk with the birds and trees and flowers. but in winter you are imprisoned in dark ness under the ice. and of Christmas you know nothing With us it is quite differ ent. We are part of the great tree, and up above we can see the sun flashed back by the frost and the smoke rising in great curls from the chimneys and the white. furry mantle of ermine earth is wearing. and we can hear the twitter of the snow birds and the tinkle of the sleighbells and the shouts of happy people. Oh, it is fine outside But you,, poor Brook, in your dark prison. you hear nothing and see nothing and know nothing
 But the Brook only laughed. You are very much mistaken" it said, 'if you think I have no Christmas On the con- trary, Christmas time down here is one oi joy and brilliancy. It is neither dark nor lonely beneath the ice. There is a strange phosphorescent light which is sometimes wonderful, and frolic among the stones and crosses in winter just as did in sum mer. There is a jolly group of acquain- tances here too The great pickerel splash about, and the muskrats come down out of their houses, and the mink dives tc drift from one haunt to another in the bank, and the crawf1sh are as sociable as ever l gurgle and dance among them and sing Christmas carol when the time comes, and we are very happy.
 But that is not all,' the Brook con tinued You forget the airholes Through them I look up and see the stars They are far brighter to me than to you because I look at them with nothing earthly in sight. An, but they are always bright on Christmas evel They shine theI with radiance never seen at any othel time, and we gather about the airholes all the company of us, and watch then and their glory. It seems then as if eact star were Star of Bethlehem, telling o1 the coming of the Christ child It is won derful and beautiful, and we are glad. Dt not tell me that there is no Christmas be meath the ice. ''
 And the Brook gurgled by joyously. = Chicago News.

hr%adered with gold At its feet are cloths of dlne lace, and under the cushion stands n Efraw bed, whose projecting thorns call to Iiind the memory of Christ's sufferings Hhe cortege, having traversed the tran a4I3t of the basilica and descended into the Rf1fto of the patriarch, stops in front of the spot where the child Jesus was born. The patriarch places the manager and child in the hands of one of his followers and hagsns to chant the story of the Nativity as FOid by St Luke. Then the prelate takes the child again and, placing it upon sfilyer star, continues the service with mod diflcations of the sacred text appropriate tosfne occasion and the special surround iT1Es As the prelate says the words which tell show the Holy Mother broughe into the world her flrstborn Son he takes the child again, wraps 1t in fine laces and chants:
 "And here they wrapped it in clothes
 Then he walks to the marble manager and places in it the image of the newborn child, at the same time chanting the words:
 And here they laid it in @ manager be- cause there was no place for them at the inn ''
 This service often lasts until 9 o'clock in the morning and is finished by ''Te Deum" and God Save the Republic. ' All Bethlehem watches this night, and the people-men, women and children remain until day breaks with lighted can dies in their hands in the neighborhood of the basilica. Everywhere one hears cries of joy and breathes the fragrance of in cense. The festivities become more and more animated as the hours wear away and it would be difficult to estimate the quantity of candles and hard boiled eggs 1 which are devoured by the participants during the night.-New York Herald.

Christmas Should Be the Happiest of
 Their Holidays.
 In every household special pains should be taken to insure a "good time' for the little ones of the family, and in homes where there are no children the opportu- nifty is afforded to make it a pleasant day for some less fortunate little ones whose parents have not the means of providing lifts and a good dinner for them.

 As far as possible let the gifts be suited to the needs of the recipient. The boy whose toes ache with cold will appreciate warm shoes, and to the little girl who has no other head covering than a summer hat a new hood will be welcome
 A lady once remarked in my hearing that she thought it a mistake to make only gifts of wearing apparel to poor chil- dren, even if it was needed. Children, she said, appreciate toys, candies and nuts, or even ornamental gifts more than they do clothes, and that child would get more enjoyment out of such things, even if he went with cold feet and bare hands.
 Be that as it may, each of us is able to give pleasure of some sort to some child at Christmas time. Let not this joyous season pass while we selfishly lavish gifts upon those whom we have every reason to expect will return the compliment and leave unnoticed those to whom Christmas means so little more than the name Philadelphia Times

Origin of Glftmaking.

The custom of giving Christmas pres ents is said to have originated in Spain. During the revels of Christmas eve. when the booths and bazaars were thrown wide open, the madcap revelers were accustomed to going from booth to booth, purchasing such articles as struck their fancy, and in the high carnival which followed these purchases were exchanged indiscriminate- ly The opportunity thus afforded of ex changing secret love tokens gave rise to 2 greater discrimination in the presents Sc. lected and is the earliest record of Christ mas presents Exchange
