I lounge by the Pullman easement
AS the landscape ScamperS by,
But still it defies erasement-
This picture that fills my eye:
A picture of her and the wee ones
And the cunningiest eone-shaped
How / wish were one of the free ones
That their joy could be shared by
me!
am one-poor one, of an army,
Compelled by the fates to roam;
But when l see
Spruce tree,
NV thought run back to my home.
nc my home and her that loves me
And to them we both adore;
But the demon of Duty shoves me
Along with rush and roar.
The hills (they are heaftiess!' are
taunting
And breaking the heart of me
For everywhere they are Haunting
Full many a cone-shaped tree.
am one-bare one, of an army
Compelled by the fates to roam;
But when l see
A wee
Spruce tree,
My heart cries out for my home.
E:ut I-can ] be a jester
Who fret and beWail so sore!
A veteran-aye, a NeStor
In realms of the lightsome lore?
/. preaching to all "Be plucky,
Avaunt with your weight or woe,
Should think of myself as lucky
For home to which to go!
SO I'm one-brave one, OF an army
Compelled by the fates to roam,
But don't let me see
A wee
Spruce tree,
Lest / childiShly weep for nome.

POEMS OFCHRIST MAS.
THE STAR ABOVE THE MANGER.

(Thco. II. Hill, Raleigh, n. Co
One night. while lowly shepherd
SWANS their fieecy charge attended
a light shone Ger Judeas plains un-
utterably splendid.
Far in the dusky Orient star, un-
known in story,
Arose to flood the armament with
more than morning glory.
And Heaven drew nearer Earth that
night, flung wide its pearly portals,
Sent forth from all its realms of light
it's radiant immortals:
They hovered in the golden air, their
golden censers swinging,
And woke the drowsy shepherds there
with their seraphic singing.
Yet Earth, on this her gala night, no
jubilee was keeping;
She lay, unconscious of the light, In
silent beauty sleeping
No more shall brightest cherubim and
stateliest archangelS
Syluphonious sing such choral hymn,
proclaim SO sweet eVangelS.
No more appear that star at eve'
though glimpses of it's glory
Are seen by those who still believe the
shepherds simple story.
In Faiths clear armament afar. to
unbelef a stranger,
Forever glows the golden star that
stood above the manger.
Age after age may roll away, but on
Times rapid river
The light of it's celestial ray shau
never cease to culver.
Light! light. from the Heraldic Star
breaks brightly Ger the bllloW..
The storm, rebuked, is fed afar. the
pilgrim seeks his pillow.
Lost, lost! indeed. his heart must be,
his way how dark with danger
Whose hooded eye may never see the
Star above the Manger.

THE LESSON.
(By R-dy-rd K-pl-ng.o

(By R-dy-rd K-pl-ng.)
From the Chicago Tribune.
Thus spalxc the Sage at Christmastime
his words were full OF heat:
''The only thing I like TO get i'm my
stockings is my feet"
When earth's last present is given,
when the gifts are bundled and
And we've paid the charge to express
them wherever the folks abide.
We shall rest-and, faith, we shall
ueed it; lie down till we gather
strength,
For we know that our Christmas pres
ents are coming to us at length.
We know that for every trinklet that
we in despair have bought
That somebody else over our gift in
worry has thought and thought;
That slippers and smoking Jackets, and
razors and guns and knives
And holiday sets OF ShaWespeare nave
shortened some other lives.
Thus spake the sage at Christmas time:
"Ah, many men have joked
About the box of gift cigars-such men
as never smoked.
And many shall say they are happy
they shall sit in a Morris chair
And puff at Flor de Rubber with a
merry and grateful air;
ana edch or us rather slyly his flatten-
ed out purse shall touch
Ana look at his Christmas present, and
mutter II spent too much
Perhaps when the years have swiftly
away to future flown
Then no one shall give present but
each one shall buy his own
Then each one shall hang his stocking
aloft on his separate star
And pick out the Thing he chooses
and puff at his own cigar.
Thus spake the sage: AT your dis
trcSs It's not for me TO scoff:
III you don't like what fills your hose
then have your legs cut off,

When the sky was dim with shadows,
And the world was white with snow.

Just as the old, my deafie,
In the beautiful PARKWAY!

Over the waste Of years;
And NY hearts in the old time gardens
And still keeps time to tears.

Just as of DID, Sweetheart!

(F. L. stanton.)

Why roam you in the summer isles
Amid the hills of Dcaring,
And / where never summer smiles,
Forever northward faring?
Why roam you where the stars shine

And crown the hills with glory,
And I in loneliness of Night,
With not one stars sweet story?

Where hearts fear not to sever
And 1 where but the black seas chime
Forever and forever"

wH1sr1ER,s BUSINESS SENSE.
Illustration of It Shown in Some New
Letters to Dealer.
From the London Post.

From the London Post.
The LOCKER On" of 1.-The Glasgow
Evening News" has come on some hitherto
unpublished letters of Whistler which show
him in somewhat new light-that of a
shrewd man of business. For instance, it
has been stated that the "Furred Jacket"
was sold for IAN old song" whereas the
real story tells that in 1892 Whistler gave
the picture to a GLASGOW dealer for an adj
vance of f400, on the understanding that If
a sale were effected the painter should re-
ceiye half of the profit. Six and a half
years after the canvas was sold for FL 900,
and Whistler claimed another f300 in full,
though the dealer had expended f209 in in
terest insurance and in regilding the frame
twice. In 1894 he wrote: What is this
about your not reaping and so not Offend
ing? Why, the more you reap the better,
not only for yourself but for me. If
you or Goupil or Kennedy buy picture of
mine for f5 and sell 1t for 5000, up goes
mate is your transaction, and all to the
good. But when these sneakfng amateur
tradesmen, under the cloak of art patron
age, acquire a work for Is pence and sell 1t
for thousands, 1t Is quite different thing
The whole thing. to begin with. is whis
pered in the back parlor. and the less recog-
milton of artist or trace of crime the bet
ter. The people outside know nothing of
II, and the middleman Is In an agony for
fear should find 1t out" In the same letter
he says. THAT you should sell anything you
buy of me for double or treble the money
you give me Is my prayer, and IL you can
afford to lay things down and wait bit,
YOU must eventually sell them for four or
I'VE times the sum they cost you. Mind
