\CL XXVIII. A Song of Christmas TWINE the bittersweet and holly Arched above tho hearthstone's glow. Joy, not melancholy, Come, tndrifting with tho snow. In each face the frost's u-tlnglo, And afar on dying wing Comes the slplghbeil's rhythmic Jingle Through December Journeying. Set the board and ask tho blessing For tho bounty amply spread. In tho simplest words expressing What a loving Father said? "Pence on earth"?for this Is nearest When tho. snows with us ubldo And tho winter air is clearest In the hush of Christmastlde. 5?ii?

Bund ihe fairest down tho middle While the lilting music swuys. ldght of foot and quick of laughter, Swing the dancers,' too and heel, As they pass or follow after in the quaint Virginia rool. Make a welcome for (ho stranger Should Ills footstep cross the door, liy the memory of the manger And the Christ that was of yoro Gather children's faces round you, As he gathered them iotig syne, 7f It be ihe years have crowned you With their radiance divine. Deck the tree and light the candles, Let the stockings all be hung, For a saint with furry sandals O'er tho housetops high lias swung, And ills reindeer steeds are prancing Through tho star bespangled rime, And the moonbeams pale are glancing In tho merry Christinas time. ? Ernest McGaffey. Croup and Cough Remedy. Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks chi'dren so suddenly they are very apt to choke unless given the proper remedy at once. There is nothing better in the world than Dr. Kind's Nov Discovery. Lewis Cham berlain of Manchester, Ohio, writes about his children: "Sometimes in severe attacks we wore afraid they would die, but since wepvoved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup, coughs and colds." Sov.anyou. 50e and $1X0 A boit'e should be in every home. At all Druggists, 11, E, Bucklen & Co,, l'hila. St. Louis, Adv, Services at Bayboro Church.
