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.
