Christmas Cards.

The Christmas card as we know 1t has
an origin easily traceable, and it is doubt
less at least sixty years since the first
was designed. The artist who claimed
to be It's originator and who was, at any
rate. the first to see its possibilities was
". G. T. Dobson, r. A., who, when quite
a young man, in 1874, was prompted at
Christmas to make little sketch sym
bolie of the seasons joys and festivities
and to send it to a friend. 1t seemed
to give great pleasure, and the next year
Mr.. Dobson determined to follow up the
idea on a larger scale, and by having his
card photographed was enabled to send
copies to twenty-five or thirty friends.
The delight with which they were received
was so great that Mr.. Dobson was quick
to perceive that he had found out new
pleasure for Christmas.-New York Mail
and Express.

Christmas Every Day.

Christianity should make every day in
the year sort of Christmas day. This
time of love and gladness and good will
was never meant to be confined, to one
brief festival. This burying of old
grudges and reconciling Of estranged

gladdening the hearts of the poor, and
sharing our plenty with those in need, are
some of Christianity's everyday duties

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.

Come sing hale heigh-o
For the Christmas long ago.
When the old. log cabin homed us
From the night Of binding snow,
And the rarest Joy held reign,
And the chimney roared amain,
With. the freight like beacon
Through the frosty window pane
All! the revel and the din
From without and from within,
The blend Of distant sleigh bells
With the blinking violin;
The mufied shrieks and cries..
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes
The driving storms Of greetings,
Gusts Of kisses and surprise.
Sing in again the mirth
OF the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic Sinbad telling US
The strangest tales on earth!
And the minstrel bard we knew,
With his "Love-li-er so true"
Likewise his young House-k' yarpenter,s
And Loved Henry" too!
AND forgetting ne ef tnlng,
Lift gladder voice and sing
OF the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start to pigeon wingr
Sing the glory and the glee
And the Joy and jubilee
The twirling form-the quickened
breath
The sigh Of ecstasy.
But eyes that smile alone
Back into our happy own
The leaping pulse-the laughing blood,
The trembling undertone!
Ho! paid US off once more,
With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in heaven,
As they were in days of yore.

Christmas and Motherhood.

On that Christmas night God honored
motherhood. The angels on their wings
might have brought an infant Saviour to
Bethlehem without Mary's being there at
all. But, no; motherhood for all time
was to be sconsecrated, and one Of the
tenderest relations was to be the maternal
relation and one Of the sweetest words,
mother" In all ages God has honored
good motherhood. In great audience,
most Of whom were Christians, 4 asked
that all those who had been blessed with
Christian mothers arise, and almost the
entire assembly stood up. Don't you see
how important it is that all motherhood
be consecrated ?-Talmage.
