In the rush of early morning
When the red burns through the
gray,
And the wintry world lies waiting
For the glory Of the day,
Then we hear a titful rustling
Just without upon the stair,
See two small bite phi n oms coming,
Catch the CLEAN OF sunny hair.
Are they Chri tmas fairies stealing
Rows of little socks to fill
Are they angels flo ting hither
With their message of goodwill!
What sweet spell are thee ewes
weavi z
As like larks they chirp aud sing?
Are these palms of peace from heaven
That these lovely spirits bring?
Rosy feet upon the threshold,
Eager faces perring through,
With the first red ray Of 81. shine.
Chanting cherubs come in view:
Mis- letoe and cleaning holly,
Symbols of blessed day,
In their chubby hands they carry,
streaming All along the way.
Well we know tn m. never weary
OF this innocent surprs;
Waiting, watching, listening always
With full hearts and tender eyes,
While our litJl- household auges
White and golden in the sun
Greet Us with the sweet old welcome
"Merry Chri-tmhs, every one!'

FIRST CHRISTMAS MORNING.


Over nineteen hundred years
ago, on a December night, a light
from heaven bathed the far off
Judeau hills aud out Of the midst
of it were heard voices, saying:
"Glory 10 God in the Highest,
and on Earth, Peace, Good Will
Toward Menu
1t is the order of God that the
evolution of humanity should
regurgiate through ChriSt's APP
pointed ways. As the Christian
principle more and more deter
mines degrees Of manhood, of
civilization aud OF faith in the
eternal trend Of events, the
world grows brighter and better.
The present is the greatest of the
az and Christmas of 1908 will
be the most nearly perfect of all
the ChriStmaSeS that men have
known, and as such will be the
high wafer mark Of human his
tory and human hopeiulnesS.
Yet We have not peace on earth,
nor good will toward men. as we
should have them. BattleShips
are abroad OF the deep, or be
leaguering ports, and heaving
with the hot breath of anger and
thlrSting for human blood. Great
Christian states are CaucusSing
their possibilities to ravage lands
and to spill blood on shore and
sea. The balances OF Justices are
wavering between the interest of
grace ana gold and the secret
jealonsieS Of forms of govern
ment, for which they contest, and
prepared to set at naught the
professional song by an angelic
band in the choir loft of the Pal
eS'ine hills on the first Christmas
morning.
Over all of these contradic-
tions Of Christ mission there
thrills between earth and heaven
the melodies of glad hearted chill
dren, of strong men and pure
women on high places and in
novels, i'll cathedrals and in
heartstone circles, from visited
prisons and smoothed pillows of
pain, praiSing God and lauding
the name Of him who was born in
manger and crowned on cross.
Some day-let us hope, some
soon day-the hearts OF mankind
viii be filled with love, sincerity
and kindness and Christmas. will
be a new festival of brotherhood
and world wide good Will toward
men,

general, but when he enters the
coy sitting room, and sees the
blaze of the fire, and meets his
wife'S smiling face, he succumbS
in a moment TO the soothing in
tluences which act as the balm of
Gllead TO his wounded spirits
that are wearied by the stern re-
alitieS of life. The rough school
boy flies into a rage from the
tauuts of his companions to find
Solace in his mothers smile: the
little one full of grief with its
large troubles finds ii haven of
rest on its mothers breast; and
SO one might go on with instance

that a sweet minded woman has

is connected. Beauty is an in

=.
There is no Sadder sig Ii
than woman who, marrying IA
man to save him, finds that she
has failed in what she sought aud
lost her own life in the struggle.
Have we not all seen the gradual
degradation Of the woman who
is bound TO a di. sipated man!
She loses hope and faith. Shame
and despair covers her as with IA
garment. If she lives with him
her conscience is wIung with the
horror Of bringing forth children
who shall be like him. However
tender and refined her nature,
daily contact with what is coarse
and brutal will debase it If love
for maid will not make a man
see the fOOliShneSS of sin and
abandon it altogether, love for
wife will not help him i'll the
slightest degree, Love is a pow
erful stimulant, it appeals to the
body, mind and soul of man
and bids him strive for the best.
1t rouses his ambition, 1t urges
him to industry, it wakens III
him a passion for the noble a d
beautiful in life. If under the
press and with the help of such
emotion he does not turn at once
with disgust from whatever evil
has been in his past life, there is
no hope for him Corruption has
taken hold of him; sin is SO in
herent that the inspiration of love
cannot save him, nor anything
else save the chaStisement of God.

Birthday Party.

Miss Gertrude Chapman, little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. s.
Chapman, entertained twelve of her
young friends at her home on Pearl
street Saturday afternoon last, on
the occasion of her 18th birthday.
One of the pleasant features of the
afternoon was a guessing contest on
the number of baans in bottle.
Miss Ada Reynolds made the closest
guess and was awarded the first
prize, Miss Verna Grason being
given the BOBBY prize. The favors
received by each guest were NINA
ture boxes of candy tied with white
ribbon. In the centre of the well
laden refreshment table was a large
beautifully iced birthday cake,
decorated with II lighted candles
one for each year of the little
hostess age.

Safe Crackers At Havre de Grace,

Between the hours of 3 and 4
o'clock Thursday morning of last
week, the p, B. & w. passenger
station at Havre de Grace, was
broken into by five burglars, who
blew the safe to pieces with nitro.
glycerine, and, after pistol fight
with Watchman Milton Baldwin,
in which one of the outlaws was
shot, made good their escape with
out. however, securing any booty.
Watchman Baldwin was attracted
to the station by the terrific explo'
sion. AS he approached the build.
ing he saw five men run from it,.
The watchman opened fire on the
men, and it is thought wounded
one as he dropped the cash box
which had been taken from the
safe and which contained small
amount of money. The safe and
interior of the building were badly
wrecked by the force of the ex-
plosion. The burglars entered the
ticket Office by way of the cellar,
and removing the register in the
floor, climbed through the opening.
