Hymns Y0u Ought to Know
BETHLE HE NJ.
By Phillips Brooks.


Phillips Brooks (Boston, Dec. 18th
lS35-Jan. sd, 1899 was more than the
Bishop OF the Episcopal Diocese OF Mas
sachusetts he was the Bishop of the
whole American people. They have not
yet ceased to grieve for him. Perhaps
admiration for the authors personality
had much to do with the popularity OF
this hymn. 1t was written for the
use OF Trinity Sunday School, about
1880, and sent out anonymously. But
the people soon found it out. Though
evidently intended as Christmas hymn,
it is used at other times. and may be
counted as one of the few new hymns
that have taken their place along with
the old ones. 1t is already found in all
the standard collections of church hymns.
as well as in many of those of less per.
manent character.
0 little town OF Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars 90 by;
let In my dark streets Shlneth,
The everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep and angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together,
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
SO God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world OF sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
o holy child OF Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!

HIBTORY OF THE PEACElTES,

And it came to pass that the young
man Theodore tarried awhile in the
place called Oyster Bay, which is over
against Hardshell Baptist division of
the Standard Oil Company.
And while he tarried there, the Rus.
sites and the Jspanites passed by, on
their way through Gotham to Ports.
mouth.
Now Gotham is the place where the
bookmakers and the Depewites revel
in the early mornings, and is wicked
even beyond compare.
And the Russites and the Japanites
we're wroth at each other, and in their
own countries, hard against the Phil.
istines and the Chinks, there was much
blOodshed, duly countenanced by the
world.
And when Theodore saw them go
by, he spoke and said: "Cease, o.
cease your scrapping and quit ye, for
there is glory enough for ALL" But
they needed him not" for they were
furnishing much desirable copy for all
the magazines.
Then Theodore spoke again and
said: "Wait ye little while and be
reluctant, for every day that passeth
gives me q chance to be advertised
more and yet more. And in the
meantime, 1 will advise my people on
several matters of much Importance"
So Theodore arose in the morning
and set the fashions, and talked on
temperance and baby-culture and ath-
letics and crochet-work and everything
else he could think about.
And all the time there was great
commotion among the people, and
they demanded to know what the
stock market was doing.
But still the Japanites aud the Rus.
sites fingered, until Mars, the san
culinary god, waxed wroth, yea, ex.
ceeding wroth, and he said: els it
for this that ye have come together?
Do az Theodore says, or ye shall suffer
the consequences"
And they came together. amid great
rejoicing. After which Theodore was
1t.
And the Gothamites and the Bos-
tonites and the Pennsylvaniates and
all the people round about, including
the Graftites, did him honor, saying:
/" Theodore is indeed the Real Thing
and the Whole Show, and We will bow
down before him."
And it was even so.

In the photographers family were a
wife. three daughters, two sons, and,
just as an afterthought, the photogra-
pher himself. All of this happy num-
Der have been photographed frequent
ly, yet. strange to say, mono of their
pictures bears the stamp of home in
dustry.
"How is this?" asked an inquisitive
friend. "Why don't you people have
your pictures taken in your own stu.
dio?"
"For the same reason" replied the
photographer, that a doctor calls in
another practitioner to treat his fam.
lily when ill, that q lawyer generally
fights shy of arguing his own case, and
that . dressmaker, no matter how
competent, hires somebody else to fit
her gowns. They are afraid they can.
not do justice to subject in which
they take such vital interest. That
is why all Of my brood patronize q
rival concern when they want really
fine photographs. In my own studio

satisfactory sitting to strangers than
to my own children"

eral new ones concerning the foodstuff
crops out shortly. The advance in
formation is already in and points to
big yield of corn, wheat and oats.
The corn crop it is expected will be in
the neighborhood of 9, 2,716, 600, 600 BUSH
els. This is far in excess of any pre-
vious corn crop and few days more
will put the whole of it beyond the
danger of damage from frost. The
forecast for spring wheat is 2S5,33l 900
bushels; the winter wheat crop will
also be large and both will be consid.
erably in excess of the crop last year.
Oats will be about five per cent. better
than last year and the only crop to
show decrease will be potatoes.

Two friends started out in life, each
OF them resolving to pursue his own

And one Of them went out to see
the world, and the other became q
hermit.
After many years they met again.
And the hermit said: "There is
only one thing that am very curious
about-women. Have you met any"
"Have l met anyl" exclaimed the
other, smiling. "Why, women have

"Dear me, yes!"

"Are they extravaganza"

"Have they any good points?"

"What are theyf"
"Well, they can be unselfisb."
Indeedp
"And they can hold their tongues
when the object warrants it,"
"You don't say"
"And they can save, if they love

"How interesting"
"And they are good nurses. In
fact, differ widely in their capabilities.
They are constant and inconstant,
fiokle and true, small and large, char
liable and uncharitable, good, bad and
Indifferent"
The hermit grasped his companions
hand eagerly.
"My friend" he said, "this is all
very wonderful to me-your knowledge
of woman is evidently extensive. And
now, tell me how many OF them you
have lived with"
And the friend replied:

AN ANEcDOTE OF JACKSON.

A correspondent, in a private letter,

prominence OF the parties adds to its
interest and gives it permanent place
in his Anecdotes of Public Men,"
the parties being Gen. Jackson and

his respects to Jackson, who he found
in his private apartment, in dressing.

a corn.cob pipe. Mr.. B., in due course
of time, said he had a fair English
lady of high standing, who he was
quite anxious for the President to
meet.
"Well," said Jackson. al shall be
glad to meet your acquaintance"
Mr.. B. then suggested to the Presi.
dent that he make himself little
more presentable in dress.
The old warrior rose with his long
pipe in his hand, and thundered forth
in BY the Eternal" tones:
Buchanan, l want to give you q
piece of advice. / knew q man once
who made his fortune by minding his
own business. Tell the lady 1 will
see her presently"
The man who became President in
1856 was fond Of saying that this re-
mark of Andrew Jackson humiliated
him more than any rebuke he had
ever received"
The President presently walked
down stairs in full suit of black, with
face cleanly shaven, his stubborn hair
forced back from his remarkable face,
and was presented to the English lady.
