THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Cold must be the heart that has no
response to this great Christmas senti-
ment, barren indeed the home into
which no recognition of the Christ
child enters, no thought of that ines
Unable gift that has made all man
kind brethren. To the poorest and
humblest of us this Christmas message
speaks. The wise men required the
guiding Of the star, but to the watch
ing shepherds the angel spoke face to
face, and there is a Christmas senti
ment in all these gay streets and jost-
ling crowds that the wise men of our
day were not always the first to under
stand. In few days more the ever
green's will have faded, and we shall
be going about our business with all
the stern realities of the new year be-
fore us. But we shall carry something
over from this great holiday that will
not fade if we care to keep it green, a
new impulse of faith and love thas
will will the world still growing
brighter and better because of Christ

HANGING THE HOLLY.

The English holly is finer in quail
ity than that grown on American
shores, says the ST. Louis Republic
The leaves are better green and the
berries larger, and before the holiday
season sets in great hampers of it are
shipped from the English ports to de-
light American eyes and hearts. An
attractive manner of using it is to tie
big punches with long satin ribbon
loops and ends, matching in shade the
hue of the berries, and place them
over pictures or mantel shelf, or
fasten against the wall, especially in
some picturesque nook or corner.
Underneath the mantel where there
is no fireplace, the space may be-
banked with masses of the spiny
leaves and bright berries; jars or vases
may be filled with them, while holly
wreathes and ropes are another form
of decoration very effective both in
large ana small apartments.

Mince pies and plum porridge,
Good ale and strong beer;
With pigs, goose and capon,
The best that can be,
So we'll doth the weather
And our stomachs agree.
Observe how the chimneys
Do smoke all about;
The cooks are preparing
For dinner no doubt;
With holly and ivy
So green and SO gay
We deck UP our houses

With bays and rosemary
And lawrel compleat,
And every one now
Is a king in conceit.

Who will not be free,

On the three-legged tree.

to be in the shop at the time might
have seen the empress enter with her
children, each provided with his own
purse, and completing his purchases
aside so that the others might be sur
prlsed. The younger three princes de-
manded the advice of their mother in
their selections. The princes investi-

the price generally found it too dear

thing quite nice for the required
amount. But now the brothers and
sisters have exchanged thanks for
their gifts; the first impetuosity of
the Christmas rejoicings has given
place to more tranquil examination
and inspection, and ladies and gentle
men of the court have made the
rounds in a general state of admira-

THE WEST Lake MASSACRE.
Account Of the Death Of the West LAX,
Pioneers, and the Flight Of
tho Survivors,

One day in July, 1859, some Scandi-
navian families came into this country
to settle here. They took land in the
neighborhood OF Norway Lake, rather
far apart from one another; the In-
dians thereabout, however, seeming
friendly disposed: toward them, they
had no fear oftrouble on that account.
They found the Redskins experts in
pilfering and begging; yet they shared
their bread with them, and thus made
them b2ehaYe peacefully. They lived
in peace and safety until August, 1862.
The harvest of that season was so
plentiful that they hardly had room
for it, and the farmers looked forward
full of hope and confidence. The civil
