^ .. . ' -. , fc, ? Bethlehem's Star. At shadows cost by clouds and sun Flit Id the Kumraer grass, 80 Id thy sight. Almighty One, Earth's generations pass. And while the years, an endless host. Come pressing swiftly 011, The brightest names that earth can boast Just glisten and are gone. Yet doth the Star of Bethlehem shed A luster pure and sweet; ; > And still it leads, as once it led, To the Messiah's feet. O Father! may that holy star Grow every year more bright, ADd send Its glorious beams ufur To fill the world with light. We bustle, and God works. Great wealth and content seldom live together. Evil is tAlfced of, but good is taken as a matter of course. The highest exercise of charity is to-j ward the uncharitable. The best remedy for our discontent is to count up our mercies. Who hath a greater combat than he that laboreth to overcome himself? A heart unloving among kindred j has no love towards God's saints and I angels. Nothing is so indicative of deepest culture as a tender consideration of the ignorant. Our lives should be as pure 4s snowfields, where our footsteps leave a mark, ? bat not a stain. Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity ; but for that reason it should be moat oureare to learn it. I would rather suffer for speakig the truth, than that the truth should suffer > ' for want of my speaking. m. /' If thou art wise, thou knowest thine own ignorance ; and thou art ignorant if thou knowest not thyself. Perhaps the secret regrets of life arethe weightiest, and chiefly on this ae, count?that they are incommunicable [When Christ came into the world, peace was sung; and when he went out of the world, peace was bequeathed. The seed of sacrifice brings forth the fragrant fruit of love, and love always has in its heart the seeds of new sacri-l flee. When once infidelity can persuade men that they shall die like beasts, they will soon be brought to live like * beasts also. Prayer may not bring us money, but it brings; 4 what no money can buy? a power ^>?eep from sin and becou: tent witfi God's will. There i^ vast difference between a dead conscience and a cleansed one. ^ r\4- Kaaqiiqa If lo rl oo rl fho ntli V/I1C ID ljuici/ wcvauoo iv io uvuu, iuv vww L i er la quiet because it is purged. NothiDgever happens but once in this world. What we do now we do once for all. It is over, it is gone, with all its eternity of solemn meaning. A lew more years shall roll, A few more seasons come. When we shall be with those J . Who rest asleep within the tomb. Seek the chamber of sickness, the abodes of want; then seek your closet to commune with God. Do not believe you are ready to pray until you are willing to work. The reason why God's name is so seldom in people's mouths is not that ^an_^lhevjreverence him, as they say, too much to talk about him, but because they do not think of him. To Bpeak for Christ or to work for Christ is easy and pleasant; but to hear for Christ either pain or poverty or reproach with courageous patience it is a ? * t i- Jl.. l. lar nigner iriumpu ui gouiy uuuievement The coming hours are open, yet pure and spotless receptacles for whatever you may deposit there. Let us start up and live. Here come the moments that cannot be had again; some fewmay yet be tilled with imperishable good. With the same height of desire tbou hast sinned, with the like depth ofsor row thou must repeDt; thou hast sin. ned to-day, defer not thy repentance till to-morrow : he that hath promised VT~ pardon to thy repentance, hath not promised life till thou repent. God loves to come to lonely hearts which other loves do uot fill. Tbis is why bereaved hearts, outraged hearts, hearts misunderstood, hearts that have broken with kith and kin, and native place, aud the grave of father and UJULUCI, aic tuc ucaits ui uis pi cucicution. It is easier to follow the world's counsel than to adhere to our own convictlousof right. But if we do right, we shall never have cause to regret it: whereas, if we fail to do right, we shall to never be without a cause of regret for . our failure. And God will approve our right doing, even though all the world should deem us foolish or overparticular. The Parrot.?Mr. Brown had a "bird dcg," a very handsome hunter, and I must tell you how he was spoiled from hunting; it was a very funny circumstance. His housekeeper had a parrot given to her, and the first time that the dog came into the room where the bird was he stopped and "pointed." The parrot slowly crossed the room, and came up in front of the dog, and look, ed him square in the eye, and then, after a moment, said, "You're a rascal !" The doc was so much, flstnnishpri In hear a bird speak that he dropped his tail between his legs, wheeled about and ran away; and from that day to this he has never been known to "point" at a bird. An egotist will always speak of himself, either in praise or in censure; hut a modest man ever shuns making himself the subject of his conversation. ? ' There are some things a dwarf can't do, but he can catch just as big a cold as a giant. Know thyself. If you can't get the lequisite information, run for ollice. Vt.v v .>'< . v ; .. / ' v ' ' , . - -r' . Christmas. A SONO OK JOV AT DAWN. ! All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near, Sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing. Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. Hark! a voice from yonder manger. Soft and sweet, Do I h entreat, "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come, from all doth grieve yon You are freed, All you need I will surely give you." Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all. Great and small, Kneel in nwe and wonder. Love Him who with love is yearning; Mail the star Thai, from far Bright with hope is burning! Hither come, ye heavy hearted; Who lor sin Deep within. Long and core have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their heidpig! C.:risJjtia? Customs. Eat, UripK ami lie merry would seem to be arf appropriate motto for the festal homes of the holiday season, and the hospitable home is garlanded with Christmas greens and the hustle of social entertainment pervades every nook and goruer. It is a ^ala time with the children, who are on the tip toe of happy expectation, for San la Claus never forgets his little people, but always brings them some good thing, and the Christmas tree will surely be on hand with its foliage rich and rare, a happy custom, for which we are indebted to the "Faderland." "Over the sen there's n wonderful tree; We heard of It first In Germany, But now old England gathers Its fruit, And here iu our soil it lias taken root." In some homes four Christmas trees, one in each corner of a big room, arc used. The parents have one corner, the older children one, the babies the third corner and the servants the fourth. A German Christmas combines a religious festival with the gift giving. The children are taken in to see me uiunuuaxeu nee, uui/ uut iu icceive anything from its well-laden bougbs until they have sung the sweet Christmas carols of their country. They all sit at the base of the tree in their little quaint costumes, their soft hair neatly disposed of in Marguerite braids and their round, grave faces, shining with expectancy, for however I trifling the gift Kriss Kringle brings them they are taught to be thankful, and they are sure of a white sugar apple with one very red side to it, and a waxy green stem, the only part of it they may not eat. There are no waits?boy singers?to rouse us at midnight here, with their weird, sweet, carol singing, and their clamor for gifts. "God rest you, merry gentlemen; Let nothing you dismay ; For Jesus CUrlst, our Savior, "Was boru on Christmas day." But the bells chime at midnight and ring out the old teuder story that eighteen hundred years ago the Clial clean shepherds started on its mission of peace, and everybody makes merry in his or her approved way. It is in England that Christmas Las its full value. There it is both a holiday and a holiday. The roast beef of old England and the plum pudding of national reputation, are renowned in story and song. "They nerve up salmon, venison and wild boars. By hundreds, dozens and by scores, Hogsheads of honey, kilderkins of mustard, Plum puddings, pancakes, apple-pics and custards. The boar's head enwreathed with rosemary is the processional dish of the old manorial halls and the Oxford feasts and is borne in with solemn state upon its decorated platter. Tlfe Christmas goose is a favorite dish of the common people, turkey being more of a New Year's treat. Christmas week is a season of jollity and hospitality. and a culmination of all the blessings is reserved for the day itself. Thp.
