THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
BY E! e. Kelley.

What has become of the Christmas
tree?
Back Yonder-O blessed Memory
that brings so clearly the old Back
Yonder-was a little brick church
with a white steeple and a sonorous
bell. And in the days when all the
geese we're swans and the pot OF
gold was yet at the end of the rain
bow and God heard the little prayer
YOU said at night, and saw and was
sorry for the mean things you did
through the day, why, there used to
be a Chris mas tree each year In the
little brick church with the white
steeple and the deep-toned DELL
And never since was a tree ike
unto it! The big boys brought 1t
from Pine creek and put it in place
nm the church rostrum, and the big
girls festooned it with gay coloreo
paper ropes and popcorn snowflaKes'
and adorned lit with shining tinsea
stars: and they hung the gifts upon
It or heaped the heavier presents
around its base; and when the hun
dred candles were lighted among us
branches It was a tree in the won

derful garden of Aladdin TO tne
Youngsters and foretaste OF Apo
calyptic glory to the elders.
And the Sunday school sang ~
Bethlehem" and the superintendent
led in prayer and the circuit rider
told in simple language the story Oh
tho wise Men who came out OF the
East. And then there was a jingle
Of sleigh-bells and old Santa Claus
came in at the door and up the aisie
in furry snow-flaked coat and-oi
all tbings!-he began taking pres
ents off the tree and gave them
away, right and left! and everybody

The right old woman got heaVS

the silk handkerchief of Persian rug
nattern and the long scarf, knitted
in shell stitch of brilliant coloreu

the preacher got a new suit ana MS

Lawsy, lawsy, but that tree was fine!
Wonder If there is anything ike II
now? If there is, 1t is back IN d
country neighborhood where folks
rejoice and sorrow together and eV-

And If you are approaching Chris
