To those who enjoyed bountful dinner
Christmas Day 1t would have seemed incredible
that n little family the West Side Of this rich
city should have been comparatively happy over
the food which was purchased at an expenditure Of
only Is cents. This is the story: poor widow in
that section OF the city has long been member Of

seemed almost like a visit of Santa Claus TO the
furnishing family. The recording angel must have
written down this humble act OF kindness one

IT'S love that makes the world so bright
And takes away nfe's care;
1t plants the blooming roses. too.
On Cheeks 10 make them fair;
And bids the 4ustre in the eye
To shine with wOndrous light,
And drives the GOODNESS from the heart
To warm IL with delight
It clothes the criticsing tongue
With words of mercy sweet, .
And little faults will be unseen
When loving hearts SHAH meet;
The whole world brighter seems to grow
When love appearing speaks,
And lOve-warmed hearts find peace and rest,
For which mankind e'er seeks.
