Carol of Seeds and Roots.

ON the Westminster Gazette.
What is the song that buried flowers
Sing through the dank December hours
10 Keep their rooted patience sweet
IN they and spring together meet:
An. no one knows, or none will say
But come the dawning red or gray
That ushers in the Childrens day
HE song comes soft as coo of dove,
A song of joy, Il song Of love:
An, gay ah, gay!
This Is the song Of Christmas day
The root of larkspur has no doubt
How hluely she will open out
Her prick -hecled blossoms when the sun
And rain their pleasant tasks have done;
The poppy seed 10 frost diSmays,
Her trust is in the autumn days
When she shall set the fields ablaZe
The sunfiOwer in her secret place
Dreams of the suns unshadowcd face.
Alb. gay. ah, gay!
This is the song OF Christmas day.
Black hellebore bids back the SHOWS
With the white wonder of her rose,
The yellow acOnite can bring
Gold stars 10 give the Baby King.
But buried flowers can only sing
In sweet and secret undertOne
The homage that is all their own.
But He who Is at Christmas come
Can hear all creatures, even the dumb.
Al, gay! ah, gay.
This Is the song Of Christmas day.

Fiction and Morality.

Mr. Hall Game in Worlds Work
One would have thought that the parallels
themselves would have dealt for all time
a death-blow to the idea that the very sim
plest fictitious narrative may not, without
violation Of art, be made a vehicle for the
exposition of eternal truths. But certain
II is that in a large class of by means
the least intellectual section of readers,
the idea still exists that the novel is a
puppet show as immoral as Punch and
Judy 1t will not surprise that part of the
public which has done me the honor to
look at my own novels that | rebel with all
the strength of my soul against this latter
form of objection.

The matter of tips is most serious one
with younger sons, who feel it uncommonly
hard that they have to give up shooting
with their acquaintance because of the
immense fees in the way of tips to servants
and keepers that it involves. However, the
many people in England, as well as Ire
land, have for some time past tried to
invent plans as to circumvent the in
ordinate expectations of highly-paid me-
mails.

Specialized Soldiers.
From the New York Tribune.


The proposal to permit the use of spec
tacles to British soldiers is a reminder that
from their prohibition came the monocle,
according to the Buffalo Commercial. About
a century ago an army order was issued
forbidding officers to wear eyeglasses or
spectacles. But a short-sighted officer be-
longing to crack regiment had no mind
to resign his commission or stumble blindly,
and he invented the single eyeglass. When
called to account by the authorities he
claimed that the monocle being of the
singular number, did not contravene the
order against spectaces and glasses in the
plural. Red tape accepted this literal rem
oering of the law, and, becoming popular
III the British army, the monocle was
adopted by civilian beaus.

According to Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates, the

The principal exercise consists Of lying face down

Miss White yesterday, and every time that you
wake up during the night and find yourself lying

One reason for the rigid observance OF the rules
that she has made for herself is the character Oe
the corset. You know corSets now much
