A Pleasant Sight. Among the blessed observances and customs of Christmas-time, that of gathering the members of the family together is not the least beneficient. To draw togethtr the ties of kindred on one day, at least, of the year—to reknit the family bonds, to revive the sancti ties of mother and child, and reunite other diverging relationships—is surely one of the most fitting modes of com memorating the advent of One who, though He came on His Heavenly Fa ther's business, and invited, as lie still invites, all men to become 11 is breth ren. was none the 'ess dutiful and lov ing to Ifis earthly parents and relatives. What more beautiful sight can be imagined than that of a family of three generations, affectionately assembled on the morning of the hallow d day, and entering their village cliureli to gether—honest country folk mindful of the sacred meaning of Christmas, in thus making attendance at the appoint ed religious service a prelude to the homely enjoyment and ft siiye merry making they will afterward share. In their Sunday and holiday best they rev erently enter the cbutchpoieli aftei the walk frem a neighboring farmstead. The little procession is headed bv the grandfather and grandmother—a h ppy touch of reverence for age characteris tic of true filial p etv. lint b fore these toddles tlie youngest meml>er of the family—the representative of the third generation. How charming is this mystery of'ave between tlie youngest and the oldest —this meeting of ex tremes I It strengthens the chain, so to speak, that unites our race in one lest a link should be dropped out ; a chain stretched back through countless past generations, but which, for near two thousand years, has been conse crated by the sentiments of the Christ mas Festival. A New Year'e Wish. At midnight on New Year's Eve, an old man stood at the window, and with eoes full of despondency loosed up to an immovable, ever-blooming heaven, and out upon the still. pure. white earth, upon which no one was so unhappy, so sleepless as he. His grave was so near him, covered with the snow of age, no longer the green mantis of youth, and be brought out of his whole long life nought but erring, sinfulness and sick ness, a wasted body, a desolate soul, a breast full of poison, an old age of soi row, paiu and repentance. The sweet days of his youth come be fore him to-night as apparitions and carry him back again to that morning wheu his father set him upon the peril ous highway of life.theeclipticuf virtue, on whose right lay the quiet land or light and harvest, blessed by the angels ; on tbe left the mole-tracks of vice and crime led to the dark pit of dripping poison, darting serpents and black,stif ling vapors. Ah I the serpents hung at his breast, the poison-drops were on his tongue ere be knew where he was. Senseless, and with his uumutterable grief, he called to heaven : "Give me my youth again ! Oh, father 1 set me again on life's road that I may choose the proper course I" But his father and his \ outli had long passed from him. He saw the will-'o the-wisps dancing and sinking in the God's-acre, and cried : ' They are my misspent days !" He saw a star fall from the heavens, and his bleeding heart murmured : "It is I !" And t e serpent's teeth sank deeper into the wounds they had made. In his wild imagination he saw him self flying through the night air, over the roofs of the houses ; an old wind mill raised its long, gaunt arms as though to strike him down; a slnoud in the desei ted dead-house took to itself form and shape. In the midst of thp conflict came sud denly the sound of New-Year's music from a turret, like distant church-song, and be was gently moved. He glanced around the horizon aid over the wide earth, and he thought of the friends of his youth, of those who were better and happier than he —teachers ain*ng men. fathers of happy children, blessed peo ple—and he said, fervently : "Oh, I could, too, like you, slumber with dry eyes if I had but wanted to! Ah, I could be happy, dearest parents, had I heeded your New-Year's wishes and advice I" Again, in his feverish longing for the leturn of youth, came the vision of the shroud in the dead-house, fie saw the spirit of the new year enter in, and in his superstition saw it take his form, a child. lie could no more. He covered his eyes and the hot tears flowed. He groaned softly, disconsolately : 4 Re turn again, oh, my youth .return again !" And youth came to him again, for that night he had a wonderful dream. He was s til a child ; but his erring had been no drearn and he thanked God that he was not yet too old to re-enter the ecliptic and choose the road that leads to the Land of Harvest.
