An old-Time German Christmas Eve.

There is a Christmas custom here which
| pleased and interested me. The children
make little presents to their parents, and
to each other, and the parents to their
children, For three or four months before
Christmas the girls are all busy, and the
boys save their pocket-money to buy these
presents. What the present is to be is
cautiously kept secret: and the girls have
a world of contrivances- as working
when they are out on visits, and the others
are not with them; getting up IN the morn
ing before daylight, etc.
| Then, on the evening before Christmas
day one of the parlors is lighted up by the
children into which the parents must go;
great yew-bough is fastened on the table
at little distance from the wall, multi
tude of little tapers are fixed in the bough,
but not so as to burn it till they are nearly
consumed, and colored paper, etc. hangs
and fiutters from the twigs. Under this
bough the children lay out, In great order,
the presents they mean for their parents,
still concealng in their pockets what they
intend for each other. Then the parents
are introduced, and each presents his
little gift; then they bring out the re-
mainder, one by one, from their pockets,
and present them with kisses and en-
braces.
When | witnessed this scene there were
eight or nine children, and the eldest
daughter and the mother wept aloud for
Joy and tenderness; and the tears ran

A Christmas Carol,

The Sky can still remember
The earliest Christmas morn,
When in the cold December
The Saviour Christ was born,
And still in darkness clouded,
And still in MONDAY light,
1t feels its far depths crowded
With angels fair and bright.
No star unfolds its glory,
No trumpet's wind is blown,
But tells the Christmas story
In music of its own.
No eager strife of mortals
In busy field or town.
But sees the open portals
Through which the Christ comes down,
O never fading splendor!
O never silent song!
Still keep the green earth tender,
Still keep the gray earth strong;
Still keep the brave earth dreaming
Of deeds that shall be done
While children's lives come streaming
Like sunbeams from the sun.
0 angels sweet and splendid,
Throng in our hearts and sing
The wonders which attended
The coming of the King;
Till we, too, boldly pressing
Where once the angels trod,
Climb Bethlehem's Hill of Blessing,
And find the Son of God.
Phillips Brooks.
