birthdays Instead of Christmas p"


Perish the thought. Birthdays are
birthdays and Christmas is Christmas.
How, then, substitute the one for the
other?
From the holy birth, birthday to be
sure, but one calling for general and
not an individual celebration, gifts
have been given. The first were by the
wise men, remember.
If one is happy he instinctively de-
sires to give. We cannot explain why,
but We know 1t is so. And though many
may be too unhappy or too self cen
tered there are none SO poor that they
cannot give, and generously, of that
spirit which makes "a Merry Christ
mas"
If through the year one sees what
one believes would be acceptable to
his friend, why not buy 1t, If it can be
afforded, and instead of giving 1t on
the birthday keep 1t for Christmas?
There is real pleasure In all that per-
tains to the season, even in the shop
ping. Try to put the spirit of 1t all into
all you buy. That means joining the
| Spugs, so far as useless giving goes,
and receiving from the clerks interest
and courtesy.
Gifts, large or small; cards or words
money or love-nothing matters but
the spirit, the Christmas spirit.

In those good old days and for many

hung gifts for the diners.
Just as the big tree was fastened into

Cbrtstmas Dreams.

Were every Christmas Of which we
have been present at the celebration
painted accordingly to nature, what u
gallery Of pictures! True that same
ness would pervade them all, but only
that kind of sameness that pervades
the nocturnal heavens. One clear
night always is to common eyes just
like another, for what hath any night
to show but one moon and same stars
"a blue vault, with here few braid
ed and there a few castellated clouds? ?
Yet no two nights ever bore more than
one family resemblance to each other
before the studious and instructed eye
of him who has long communed with
nature and Is familiar with every
smile and frown on her changeful, but
not capricious, countenance. Even so
with the annual festivals Of the heart.
Thoughts that like spirits trackless

Lloyd's. But no bird skins, no arrow
pierces the air without producing
some change In the universe. No COM

nor irrecoverable by natures law is

though many one, even the most
blissful, never does return, but seems
to be buried among the dead. But

Wby Santa Lfves.

Was there ever a wider or more low
ing conspiracy than that which keeps
the venerable figure of Santa Claus
from slipping away, with all the other
old time myths, into the forsaken Won
derland Of the past? OF all the per-
sonages whose marvellous doings once
filed the minds of men he alone sur
wives.
He has outlived all the great gods,
and all the impressive and poetic
conceptions which once fitted between
heaven and earth-these have gone,
but Santa Claus remains by virtue Of
common understanding that child
hood shall not be despoiled Of one Of
its most cherished beliefs, either by
the mythologist, with his sun myth
theory, or the scientist, with his heart
less diatribe against superstition.
There is a good deal more to be said
on this subject If this were the place
to say it. Even superstition has Its
uses and sometimes its sound heart of
truth. He who does not see In the
legend of Santa Claus n beautiful faith
on one side and the naive embodiment
of divine fact on the other is not fit
to have place at the Christmas
board. For him there should be nei.
ther carol nor holly nor mistletoe
They only shall keep the feast to
whom all these things are but the out
ward and visible signs of an inward
and spiritual grace.-Hamilton Wright

A Christmas Thought
By LUCY LARCOM.

~ Christmas is coming again.
W And you long for the things
it is bringing,
But the costiest gift may not glad
den the day
Nor help on the merry bells ring
ing.
Some getting is losing, you under
stand;
Some boarding is far from saving.
What you hold in your hand may
slip from your hand;
There Is something better than
having.
We are richer for what we give.
And only by giving we live.
Your last years presents are scat
tered and gone,
You have almost forgot who gave
them,
But the loving thoughts you bestow
live on
AS long as you choose to have
them.
Love, love is your riches, though
ever 80 poor;
No money can buy that treasure,
Yours always, from robber and rust
secure,
Your own without stint or meas
ure.
It is only love that we can give;
1t Is only by loving we live.
For who is it smiles through the
Christmas morn
The light of the wide crsationP
A dear little Child in stable born
Whose love is the worlds salva-
tion.
He was poor on earth. but he gave
US all
That can make our life worth Nv.
ing,
And happy the Christmas day we
call
That is spent for his sake In giving.
