Over and over again the old truth
comes back to Us, that no man is good
for much till he has suffered a great
sorrow. The baptism of pain is one of
the instrumentalities which God uses
for purging away the dross Of our ma
lures and making us fit to be partakers
Of the inheritance of the saints in light.
Not those who have escaped the fiery
trial, but those who have gone through
it and come out unhurt and glorifed
are to be envied. God knows what is
Sest for US. Therefore he sends first
one affection and then another upon US
Sometimes, because he sees it to be nee
essary, he lifts the very foodgates and
allows wave after wave of misfortune
to sweep over US If we have the right
stuff in US. we shall be helped and not
harmed by these seeming calamities.

Avery pretty decoration for the table
at the Christmas dinner is tiny Christ
mas tree. Candied fruits and gilded
and silvered walnuts make it bright
and seasonable, while little frosting
with the powder that comes for the pur-
pose makes it a beautiful object under
the glitter of the lights. The tree will
be trimmed and prepared for you by
any florist and should be planted in a
fancy low vase or dish. The picturesque
dwarf evergreens that come from Japan
are most defective when used in this
way, and yet they are such costly treas-
ures that few who own them are will

CHRISTMAS IN TIE ARMY.



The Army Of the Potomac, under
General George y Mcclellan, was
campod about Washington from August,
1861. to March. 1862. and most of il in
Virginia ms far down the Potomac as
Alexandria as far up rs Chain bridge
and as far ont toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
euts and dinners for the soldiers
That year there was Christmas din
ner fer every mess. From the rich
homes Of the large cities had come the
best in the market From tens Of thou
sands Of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters.
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare.
on Christmas, 1868, tho army was
shivering along the rivers Rappahan-
mock and Rapidan, and as far out as Cul
ppper Court House. 1t was too cold. and
the men were too poorly housed 10 en-
joy the day Il was net holiday TO
many--a day Of misery, instead. That
was the coolest Christmas the south
had seen for 30 years, and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order OF
the day in 1864. The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, a distance OF nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
commissions had arranged TO supply the
army with Christmas dinner. Few
men were overlooked. Except that in
1861, il was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began.
There We're many signs that the next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
and so it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 80 to the evening
of April 9. after Grant and Lee met at
Appomattox. -Milwaukee Sentinel.

DearAf. B. Friends:


''The good that a smile may do, was the
line that first caught my eye in the poem
above. Think back in your lives; recall
the smiles that have eheered your way,
and II is such little thing TO bestow on
another.
Did you ever notice what a general NAL
ady seems to affect human kind? 1t is
told in two words: $50 tired' l do not
doubt every one OF those whom | met
one evening Were weary, but the general
complaint was 80 tired, and l wondered
why SO many were in that condition.
Do we undertake more than we ought?
Is this onward rush Of the world, this
hurrying so much into the smallest posi-
bic space of time; this feeling that we
ought not to lose a minute; are these
thing straining our nerves to SO great a
tension that $50 tired" is our usual condi-
ton? II so let US stop and remember that
the Creator of worlds, and systems of
worlds, crested from his labors.n That He
ordained day of rest, and that we are so
constituted that we require and must have
a portion of tired natures sweet re-
storer, balmy sleep, or we die. We say,
1--WE must hurry we have so much to do"
Rather sometimes say, 1--WE must rest be-
cause we have so much to do

milk much of the matter that now
gets in. The constant falling of dust
from the COW into the milk is in
measure checked. If the COW lifts her
foot she is not likely to get it into the
fluid that is to be used as food for the
family. Of course, this must be kept
clean, or the strainer on top will be-
come an element of danger rather than
safety.
The time is at hand and in some
counties is now here when the pas
lures will fail and the cows will either
have to fall off in milk, receive green
crops that have been planted for them
before this time, or will be turned into
the meadows. This latter is not a wise
thing to do in most cases, but is done
to a great extent. The amount OF
damage depends a good deal on both
the condition of the sod and of the
moisture in the soil. If there is good
sod, if the land has been well treated,
the grass will be so thickly matted
that there will be little damage, unless
the ground is so soft that the tramp
ing of the cattle will break the sod.
If the sod is thin and the heritage
light the cropping will do much dam
age to the crop next year; but in such
cases it would be better to turn the
meadow under late in the fall and put
it into a cultivated crop for a few
years. Where fields are to be turned
under either this fall or in the early
spring, the cropping now will be so
much gain. Where it is expected to
keep a meadow permanently it is GER
tainly not good policy to turn the
cattle into it after heavy rain, when
the ground is soft.
