Luke XII, IA.
The warriors crash from land to land,
The cannon crush the living spark,
Nor love nor fear can stay the hand
That browns the sailor in the dark.
The shepherd cannot watch his sheep
(The shepherd, Lord, so dear to
Thee),
Who, when the world was lost in
sleep,
Hailed the fair star that set US free.
The shepherd cannot tend his flock,
The farmer in his barren fields
Sees birds of prey that feed and
mock
The orchard leaden apples yields.
The children call their fathers name
On this the gladdest of all days;
They call in vain-in fire and flame
The sun sends forth its morning
rays.
The mother puts her boys gift by,
On earth that child is hers no more.
His kiss her tears will never dry,
His foot will never touch her floor.
The Christmas dawn was. of all hours
The happiest in Gods great world
From heaven fall death-dealing show

Death and despair are downward
hurled.

Which knows not Christ" Their

work;
Change Thou our hearts, and thus
shall cease
The hates that kill, the lusts that

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Irish Standard extends to its
readers and friends the seasons greet
ings and hearty good wish for a
Merry Christmas. The greeting never
loses its charm and the message Of
Christmas never loses its cheer. How
ever gay and however sad may be the
hearts of individuals they never fail
to respond in some degree to the wish
of a Merry Christmas. Throughout
the world on Christmas day there are
many, very many who will feel as they
have never felt before the pangs of
poverty and experience in the melan-
choly thoughts of bereavement, where
war wings its wide desolation there
will be much sadness on Christmas
morn. But with all this the message
of Merry Christmas will go forth as
of old. Peace on earth to men of
good will toward men" means a pos
session of the friendship Of God. There
is a joy that is valueless and hilarity
that is not merry and contentment
that is not real. Christmas comes
only through that peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding. Chris.

The message of Merry Christmas

old priests plate and the old man care
fully putting them aside. Sometimes
Margery succeeded by clever little
stratagems.
".Most people don't eat that, faith

eat it.

reply as he gobbled up the dainty.
And then he would gravely shake his
head.

"And Margery, with her hands fold
ed under her scapulary, would silently
pray that her grand brother might
some day be even as this poor de-
spised old priest"

quite as normal as Margery, whose

are just cheerfully busy women with

AN IRISH CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

BY T. D. Sullivan.
oh, come, we'll Irvine the holly boughs
And deck the house again,
And let the glist' ming berries, red,
Lay 'gainst the window pane;
And when the golden dawn appears,
They'll sparkle in its light,
Whilst you and l told times recall
This Irish Christmas Night. o..
Now fix the trailing ivies, dear,
In garlands 'bove the door;
And don't forget the mistletoe-
Loves mystic wreath, astoir!
Hand down the tile from off the shelf,
Mavrone, it must be bright;
IT'S old, but sacred in the cause
OF Irish Christmas Night.
All, me! if that old tile could speak,
'Twould tell of years gone by,
And generations passed away
That in the graveyard lie;
OF blood-stained times and martyrs
OF hunted Soggarth's flight
The mountain cave, the Midnight Mass
And Irish Christmas Night.
The Yule-log's blazing on the hearth,
And in its ruddy glow
l still can see two faces dear,
We loved long years ago.
There's Nora baum and blue.eyed Kate,
Oft made the burden light;
God rest them in far-off land
This other Christmas Night.
Astoireen, but you're weeping now,
Sure we are left alone;
Your heart beats for the crathurs
still
There's grief within my own.
But they are safe from earthly vile
From care and sorrows blight;
Ger you and they'll vigil keep
This Irish Christmas Night.
For you and are old and gray,
We've borne the load for years;
Together we have lived and loved
And shared Life's joys and tears,
How gladly would we rest us now
Meath Winters snow-fakes, white,
'Longside our dear ones, ever more,
This Irish Christmas Night.
