to guard a certain narrow pass
through the mountains.
Orders were strict to permit no one
to pass no matter what the errand.
The tension was high; spies were
everywhere.
Not far from the picket post was a
small house, part log and part frame.
There lived young wife and two lit
tie girls. The husband had joined the
Confederate army. The wife was left
with two cows and some potatoes and
corn.
She or her little girls brought the
Union soldiers milk and butter; some
times few eggs.
The names of the girls were Mary
and Susie. They said they liked sol
diers; that their papa was one, and
that they knew he would be glad to
see these soldier friends of theirs if
he could only get off, but he was SO
busy somewhere shooting at the Yam
KEGS that they wouldn't let him leave.
One day as the month was drawing

CHOOSING BRIDES

With the Russian Christmas, which,
of course, is celebrated 13 days later
than the rest of Europe, is connected
a curious custom. in which the young
men and maidens of that country are
greatly interested. This is the choos-
ing of their brides by the young peas.
ants of the land. The manageable
girls of the district at the appointed
time gather in the house of the elder,
and, sitting in a row, have their heads
covered with wells or napkins. When
all is ready the young men are ad-
mitted one by one to make their
choice of a wife.
While seemingly the young men
pick at random, yet really young
couples who are enamored of one an
other generally manage to become
mated, and thus prevent mistakes.
When she has been chosen the girl
uncovers her head, and later on in
the evening conducts her lover to her
home, where her father puts the be-
trothal ring upon her finger.

Qrue Spirit Of Gipin9

The ethics o. Christmas giving Is the
doing of something that represents our
own unselfish natures, and is not rep
resented by the price, but by the bene-
fit to the rec 'ent Of the gift. 1t Is not
the one who receives the gift alone
who will be benefited, but the satisfac-
ton of having tried to help brings to
the donor also full measure Of Christ
mas JOY.
Serving man Is serving Christ, and
every time you take the hand of one
who needs help, and every time you
lift another a little step higher in
human life, and every time you put
a little more hope into a heart that
is almost in despair and death, you
are doing something not merely for
him; you are making Christ's work
easier for him, you are giving him a
