CHHINTM.VN Before another issue of IV Chronicle (ho happy yule-tide will have flowed aud ebbed, tM-aring on (lie crest of lU waves, wo hojM1, h full measure of pleasure and genuine happiness to our reader*. liut whatever blesaLngn it may bring, we kn?w that it will be redolent with the memo ries of Aul I>aug-Syue. "Friends of long ago who have seemingly punned out uf our IK'es shall l>e pictured in faaoy. and the rosy dreams of youth again tpau our horiaou like a beautiful rainbow, as we iweive the gifts or greetings from tho.se who the winds of chance have waft ed far away. Silence nor absence have caused u>. to forget them ; they still buhl their own place in our hearts, aud for this day at least, they come to claim it. And again in fancy we live over our yes terdays, and the Christina^ twilight m I>coplt-d with thorn' we knew snd loved iu the days that are uo more. We do not a*ree with the great Burns when he t?aid : "Pleasures are like the poppies spread You seised the flower, the bloom is shed; Or like the suowdrlft ou the river, A moment ?een, then gone forever." Keul pleasures like true friendships are lasting, for we never forget the drinking from a cool spring, seeing a brilliant suusct, watching a glorious dtiwu, breathing ihe perfume of a flowei. And so it is with all that is good, bright and beautiful in life, its loves and its friendships, for they are evergreens in .a garland of years that time or condi tions cannot wither. We wish for our readers not only fc Merry Christmas, but one filled with brightness and beauty, ttfoughtfulness and love ? a Christmas unmarred by acts of forget fulness, indifference, selfishness or sin. so that each succeeding yule-tide may bring a rush of happy nieiuoriesr suuny memories to make sunshine In l'h? shady* places that, may be awaiting us in the path of life, memories over which remorse or regret can never cast a lingering gray shadow, for remember that "The gold must die from minuet skies. The purple from far ' hills. The foam-flowers fajle from opal waves Drought hush the bnbbling rills. The earth grow <?>ld and passionless 'Xeath winter's bitter blast. Hut the heart will hold its memories Till life itself be passed." DeLO ACHE-TH t'RMA N CARDS Mr. and Mrs. II.
