Peter at the Peerly gates of the New Jew rilselen, when he Is asked if he evver ex- peryenscd the joy on this earth of erav'inr- out of Led at ? p. X, on the nifa befaas Christians and filling up nine pail 8
 int sized stockings with stick c a day suckers, and Roming cal lIe thinks he is getting sum reel pleasure oa. of this life when he sits round his club soaking up hy-balls, hot punches and filling his system full of the deemun Rum until he becums as nutty as fruit cake, but it IS d snare and deelusion He is not happy not neer so happy as the felIer who has looked forward to the joy he will give his five or six little kidletts, and who has de- nied himself a new ovvercoat so that each of them may have sum muchly desired trinket on the day of all days.
 The Yuletide brings it's joy and it's sad ness. Its joy to the yung and the thought less and Inc gay. They can see nuthing in the hOrrizun but the varrigated collors of joyful career and a life full of soft moon lite mites with nise tremmolo muslck. Life 10 them is one glad sweet song with brass band accompanyment and whoop lem up Liza Jane delivery. The few yeers they have seen have not as yet bowed them with responsibilities, dissappontments credl- turs, bunyons and rumatsm. Up to this time Cvvery thing with them has been as cheerful as pay day, and they have newer shaken hands with a finansial strngency. They have vague idear that mummy grows on trees and the high cost of ivving is sumthing that the polytisians talk about just because it is interesting. But to the rest of us it is differint-Oh 50 differint The Yuletide simply reminds us that an uther milestone down the grate whiteway to the muchy discussed and unknown hence is passed and that we air getting ball -heded as a door knob, and that we go to bed now with our teeth in q glass of water instead of in our fase. We have seen, one by one, the cherished ambisions of yuth disappear into the gloaming ard stay disappeared permanently. One by one we have renounsed and givven up as not practical sum of the skeems of our yutllfll brane and the surrender of each and ev- very one of them cost us much. Instead of being grate power in the hnansal world and having menny base minyons and varletts at our beck and call. we would now be satisfied with consderabullv less cash, and considerabully fewer varletts. Instead of being Ambassador to the Cort of St. James, we would be satisfied with the postoffice at Punkin Senter. Thus does time assuage the gnawing and vaulting ambisions of the yung and teech them as they grow older that they should always pay there taxes, and live so that they can look an undertaken in the fase and newer shudder.
 Emmy how may we all live to see menav moor Yuletides, and may evvery body feel as thankful to a kind provvidense that they still have keen appitite for Turkey and as keen enjoyment of the brte things of this life as, Yours trooly
