TIE CHALIcE OF LIFE.
By EDWIN a. NYE.

The poet calls life crystal pal
fill cbalice or bowl to the brim with
a liquid. Then to make an overflow
you drop something into the liquid.
The overflow is as large as that which
you put into the bowl. So is human
life.
The Lord of life has filed your
earthly vessel to the brim. The chal-
Ice holds your life. If you want life
more abundantly" you must put
something into the vessel. 1t must
overflow. And what you get In over
dow is measured By what you put in
For instance
If you put love into the chalice your
life will overflow in loneliness. II you
put hatred into your cup 1t will over
dow in hatred. If you put into it sin
you will overflow In sinfulness. In
other words, you cannot get more cut
OF your cup of mortal life than you
put into 1t. You may get less; you
cannot get more
A harsh law? On the contrary. it is
a gracious one. 1t puts the powers OF
the universe into your humble hands.
1t commissions you lord of your des-
tiny. You make what you win of
yourself. You measure out to your
self your happiness or unhappiness.
You get what you give.
Moreover, the figure holds in this:
The challce is crystal. transparent.
You can see the process going on with
in the lives of others. You can see
men and women putting into the cup
of their lives love or hatred or envy
or bitterness. and you can see the
overflow in kind.
And your
What are You putting in-money
Then the overflow will be merely mon
ey. nothing more. Certainly you would
| not expect to get an overflow OF happi-
ness. 1t Is contrary to the law. Be

| II you keep on putting in merely
money you will get not only the over.
fow. but you will by and by fill UP
| the precious chalice. and there shall
be no room for aught else but money
And then
Some day Death will come with his
hammer and break your frail bowl OF
| life and shatter it into fragments
And "all you can hold in your dead
cold hand is what you have given
away''-what you have put into the
chalice.
Here Is the cup.

The Winter Orchard.

There is an orchard set with laden
trees;
1t reaches row Oh row across the
land,
A magic orchard-frost nor wintry
breeze
Can spoil its fruitage beckCning
every hand.
No pact with summer does this Or
chard keep
The springtime never saw its open
ing flower;
But when the scar is at its silent deep
The trees burst into plenty for an
hour.
Now down the orchards vista do
see
The joyous young, the care-disbur-
dened old;
Tney gather, and they strip each laden
tree,
Till hands and hearts are rich with
all they hold.
Look east, look west-oh, look!-on
every side
The Christmas Trees! The orchard
Love bath planned!
Through wintry wastes it reaches far
and wide
Oh happy harvesters throughout the
land!

on reaching the mans shoulder, the

did Dot appear to mediate an attack.
"Having made signs to several eth

Simple Decor ations FOR Table.

As Thanksgiving is n national Gus
tom II becomes us 10 treat IT hand
somely and make it not only a feast to
the palate, but to the eye. Nothing
can do this 30 well as the adornment
Of the table with flower and leaf and

tury whose curious flowers of red

But If you have foregathered none
OF these things you can purchase lit
