he Star of Bethlehem.


When. marshaied On the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky.
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinners wandering eye.
Hark bark, to God the chorus breaks
From every host. from every gem!
But one alone the Saviour speaks;
1t is the Star of Bethlehem
Once on the raging seas I rode:
The storm was loud. the night was dark.
lie ocean yawned and rudelS bowed
The wind that tossed my founueti.is
bark,
Deep horror then my vitals froze:
Death struck | ceased the tide to stem.
When suddenly star arose;
1t was the Star of Bethlehem
II was my guide, my light, my all:
1t babe my dark forebodings cease,
And through the storm and dangers thrall
II led me to the port of peace.
Now safely moored, my perils DER,
Il IL sing, first Iii nights diadem.
Forever and forevermore
The Star-the Star of Bethlehem!

The Christmas Gift.

William Dean Howells, In Harper's
Bazaar: Just when she was at her Wits
end, a sudden inspiration seized her.
She pinned OH her hat, and put on her
new winter jacket, and went out and
bought the last number of "The Book
worm" At the end of this periodical.
she had often got suggestions for her
own reading, and she was sure that she
should find there the means OF helping
her poor grandfather to a better taste
in literature than he seemed to have.
So she took the different letters from
Chicago, San Francisco. Denver, Cin-
cinnati, New Orleans, Cleveland, Buff
falo, Boston, Philadelphia, and tip-
town and downtown in New York, CIV
ing the best-selling books OF the month
in all those places. and compiled an
electic list from them, which sfe gave
to her bookseller with orders to get
them as nearly Of the same sizes ana
colors as possible. He followed her In
structions with great deal Of taste
and allowed her 25 per cent. off, which
she applied towards wedding present
she would have to give shortly. In this
way she was able to provide her granGf-
father for the new year with reading
that everybody was talking about, and
that brought him up to date with q
round turn,

Propagation Of Yellow Perch.

The propagation of yellow perch, from
eggs taken at the Bryans Point station OF
the fish commission was very successful
this year. about 100000 OF the eggs hav.
Ing been Matched there.
The work on yellow perch has now been
stopped and the propagation os shad has
been started.
While the hatchery on the fish commits
sion steamer Fishhawk was unsuccessful
with yellow perch on the Chester river
near Chestertown. the Maryland state Ash
Ing force at the Tuckahoe station, on the
chester river near its headwaters is re-
ported to have been successful. 1t Is claim
ed that 2OOOO0,OO0 young perch hatched
there were few days ago put overheard
In the river few miles above Chester
town.
The failure Of the work on the steamer
Fishhawk has settled one point that the
eggs cannot be Matched In salt water. The
steamer was working where the waters of
the Chester river are salty, and used water
taken from the river in its Matching tanks
At Tuckahoe and Bryan's Point the water
Is fresh and the experiments were a sue
