Vase Worth S75.oOO.

Another family treasure of great
value which has since passed into the
keeping Of the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited in the British
museum. This vase comes from
Italy, and what it's age is No man
knows. though it has been proved that
in 235 A. D. it was deposited in a
sepulcher under the Monte del Grano,
three miles from Rome, and is believed
to have contained the ashes of the
Emperor Severus. But, whether or no
Pope Urban VIII, had it dug up; and
for more than two centuries it re-
posed in the Barberini palace at Rome.
In 1876 the duke of Portland purchased
it from Sir William Hamilton for L.
029 guineas and deposited it in the
British museum fifteen years later.
The vase is only ten inches high. In
lS45 a man named Lloyd, employed
at the museum, picked up a stone and
hurled it, in fit of frenzy, at the case
which contained the precious relic.
The vase was smashed into hundreds
OF pieces, but with great ingenuity
they were all put together again, and
as it now stands is said to be worth
at the very least 6 10000 Westmin-
ster Gazette.

With few days of gayety the
world tries to efface the record of a
sordid and self-seeking year.
To the philosophical mind Christ
mas has it's chief Importance in
emphasizing this very contrast, but
to the multitude it's lesson is lost
in the enjoyment of it's material
pleasures. Even so, it is the most
admirable of our holidays-p perhaps
the best gift of the Christian church
to men. 1t alone, among the worlds
holidays, shows no sign OF passing
out of observance, but rather is of
wider and mole general celebration
as the gospel of Him whose birth
day it commentaries is epitome of
Christianity; it's celebration an an
nual reminder that sord1dness and
selfishness are the two greatest
obstacles to universal contentment
So, a Merry Christmas to all the
world, and, as Tiny Tim said. "God
bless us, every one."

CHRISTMAS NOT FAR OFF.

Again another year has rolled
around and Christmastide is with
!, Us. The season of giving and re-
ceiving tokens of endearment to
loved ones and friends. The sea-
son when all chickering's and past
differences should be forgotten,
when the great human family
should unite and lift their voices in
one grand hosanna to the Savior of
the world; to Him who was born in
"a lowly manger in Bethlehem.
To the children the day has a
significance that all remember,
when that great and important
parsonage to the infantile mind
Santa Claus-makes his annual pill
.grimage throughout the land muf-
He'd in his furS and seated in a
sleigh drawn by the fieet-footed
reindeer; jumping to the housetops;
edown the chimney with bound,
he distributes his presents, then
away with clatter. To the aver
age youngster it is the season of
which for weeks previous visions
oof candy, nuts, turkey, etc, float
across his mind in rapid success
asion. To the old, to the rich and
poor it brings It's joys as well as its
sorrows.
Christmas comes but once a year
ito show the Christian world what
might be the conditions of life if at
all times self was set aside and our
Obligations to our fellows given
first place. 1t is the one time when
we really give effect to that Golden
Rule which we admire and evade.
"A children's holiday, it helps us to
Imagine what the world would be
if we could carry into manhood the
alnselfish and CHEEKY disposition of
the child. For day or two the
world seems to be born anew.
At Christmas we think of charity
and set ourselves to alleviate some
what by generous doles distress
caused by denial of justice the rest
&of the year.
