D PLUMBING CO. E CHRISTMAS BELLS HarkI Hark I I hear a distant bell, And now a chime-they softly ring; What Joyful tidings do they tell An back and forth they swing. 'Tis mid of night-who rings those .bellb? Perhaps so o doves there nestling, And while each little bosom swells, And warm, they touch with gentle wing The tuneful metal, and It feels -- do Incubated It would swing To life, and wake the world with peals Of gladnear as for new-crownei King. Those midnight bells, how sweet they chime; The welkin vibrates with their sound; To hearts attune they are sublime, Nor spread they dread alarm around. Lol now I see, from East afar A light shines through the steeple's frame. 'Tis brighter than the brightest star, It gilds the bolls with golden flame; There, too, I see some cherubs cling Fast hold the ropes. How fair they bet They swing the bells and sweetly sing "This is the Christ's nativity." Wake every heart, join in their song Of praise to Christ, our new-born King; To him our sweetest strains belong, And his, our richest offering. When wakes the god of day, and shines Athwart the heavens, what of glee Will wake as well? With box and pines And flowers gay, yon house will be Adorned, and while the anthem nw'ells With organ's voice, all Christendom Will vibrant be as are 'those belle That Christ's nativity has come. -J. William Pope. ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS Dolls That Delighted Children of Rome and Greece in Early Days Re cently Excavated. Rag dolls are as old as the hills and so are dolls with movable arms and legs, toy dogs, rock'ng horses and a host of other things that bring de light to the children on Christmas morning. Recent excavations in the ruins of ancient Rdme, Greece and Egypt have placed the British museum in posses sion of an interesting assortment of these relics of early Christian days, some of which may possibly have been given to the children of the fol lowers of Christ at a time when the observation of Christmas day was an innovation. In the nursery of a newly excavated house at Behnesa, Egypt, a fairly well preserved rag doll was found with arms and legs still Intact and painted face. The doll is by no means a beau ty and does not compare with the Christmas dolls of today, but neverthe less It mrust have brought joy to a lit tle girl's heart nearly 2,000 years ago. The jointed dolls of long ago were , made to sit down, stand up and move their arms, but they didn't close their eyes or squeak "mamma." Among the toy dogs, horses and donkeys are some made of stone and baked clay and others carved out of wood. - A CONVENIENCE. I4 "So ou hin th Sana Causmyt isa oo tin?
