As b child the worM's Redeemer Claspt his Mother's hurtd to-nlfiht, And his Infant brow is shinintr With that radiance, softly bright. Making once In Bethlehem't stable oold and darkness fire and light. As a child among the children Ot his Father's house he Ptands When the Christmas-trees are kindled By the buty aneel's hands : Swiftly on glad inlssion speedinp:, to and fro, the white-winged bands. Echoeth throneh the courts of Fleaven Sound of unchecked childish mirth, Keeping, with a soft-voiced clamor, Holy day of happy birth When a child , to win man's loving, came the Lord of Heaven and earth. Stands his tree among the others, Tall and strong and verv fair ; Sweetest scent of earthly forests Filling all the heavenlv air. Lifting, as it were. In "incense, grateful earth's adorning prayer. But scarce lighted are the tapers On the Christ-child's cross-bonghed tree, And the angels, as they pass It. Scarcelv"seem Its want to see Through the myrlari lights that sparkle like the son noon the sea. And the hosts of little children, Happy-hearted, scarcelv mark In the light of Jesus' smiling That his tree alone is dark ; That where lights should burn tha brightest, shineth but the tiniest spark. Till one little sonl that, nestling Lovingly at Mary's feet Finding thought of earthly mother In her hand's carestes sweet Questioning words of childish wonder doth with grieving heart repeat: "Why hath none our Lord's tree lighted T" Soft he speake'.h, unafraid. Th.n unto him Mary answering: "Tender heart, be not dismayed, Though thy tree like star be gleaming, and my Son's seem dark with shade. "AH thy tapers God's dear angeis Set with heavenly love a)ow. But the flames my Son's to kindle) Mo?t be horn on earth below, Mast ascend from each soul's altar bought with love so long ago. "Fvery thought of him uprising From a loving human heart Swift shall make dark -seeming taper Into golden shining start: So he wills his earihly brothers in his Christ mas shall have part. "Fvery kindly thought for others, Every loving action wrought, Every sigh of soul's contrition. Shall with kindling flame be fraught. And the burning candles ytnbol earthly love in deed and thought. "Lonelv were my Son in heaven, And in neart nnsatified. Did to-night amid earth's aladness Rise no thought of nim that died. Rise no thoneht of her that worshipped Bethlehem's manger straw beside "Royal gifts to men he giveth. And hi angels on them wait ; Bnt the Lord of men and angels Chooseth ever hnmblest state, And In lowliest hpart that loves him seeks his own love's thirst to sate. "So he ehoosfth that no angels Light to-night his Ohritms tree : neavenlv service for his brothers, For himself earth's charity t And the brightness of his Christmas measure of earth's love shall be." On the Christ-child's tree the tapers With a glow, ri'er deep'ning shine Pravers or grateful heart ascending. Sin o'erthrown in some soul's shrine. Loving thontht in noble action grown more like to love divine. Then the Christ child, smiling softly, irszetn m nis aio.ner s eyes. Listening to the angpls singing Sounding through the starlit skies. "Gloria in excelals Deo" as of old the strong words rise. With the song of angels mingling Earth's glad Christmas harmony. And the Peace of G"d descending In hparfs warm with charitv. While far down the streets of jasper shines the Christ child's Christmas-tree. Edith M. Cook in Catholic WoriA for January. ONE CHRISTMAS. I did not expect any company for Christ mas, yet could not allow the day to pass without some .!ight observance, such as deck ing; so my servant and myself had decked the rooms with evergreens, and were busily engaged making mince pies, ernllers, and other Indigestible delicacies, when little Ben Shafer rushed into the kitchen exclaim ing: " Miss Bronson, I bin down to powtoffice for pap, and Miss Lippencott give) me this letter for yon 'cause she tho't it might be frm some of yer folks who're errmfn to Christmas with ye !" ne threw the letter across the table and ran out again in the same breathless way. It was from my sister, Mrs. Elwood, who wrote to inform me that herself, her daugh ter Lucy, and Mr. Mayhew, the gentleman lo whom Lucy was engaged, would spend Christmas with me. I had not seen my nleee since she had grown to womanhood, and Mr. Mayhew was an entire stranger, consequently arter reading the letter I waa thrown into a flurry of excitement at this threatened invasion of my quiet home. "Mary," I said addressing my servant, "three visitors are coming to spend Christ mas with us." B" Tes'm," was the laconic answer. " I really believe If I should announce ths expected arrival of Queen Victjrla von would answer yea'ra in the same indifferent tone." I observed in a slightly irritated voiee, for the cool reception of the, to me, exciting news annoyed me. Hf-r face flashed for a moment, hut she made no further comments. Mary was a comely-looklngyoung woman, with large, soft, browu eyes and an abund ance of brown hair slightly tinged with red. She was reinai kabiy neat in appearance, re served and ladylike In manner. She had been with me nearly three years, and durin that period I had nverseen even the shadow of a smile on hei face ; yet abe waa by no means sullen only very sad. When she Grst came to live with me her melancholy demea nor bad b most depressing effect upon ray spirits. Her predecessor bad been a rollick ing Irish girl, who made the whole house ring with her merry laughter ; therefore I louna it nimcuit to accustom Mary's sad ways. myself to Once I spoke to her about her dejected air, telling her she should always try to look at the bright aide of life. ShB answered in a rolce quivering with suppressed sobs. " Liters no bright aide for me. Miss Bron son. All ths brightness died out of It years ago." "Ton are too young to be to utterly hope less. Life should hold many attractions for yoa still." She shook her head sadly. T am twenty-six, but to Binch numbing, heart-breaking sorrow, has been erowded Into the past few years that it seems aa If I had lived a century. Before that I was, oh, bo happTso happy." She uttered the worda la a Trailing tort f way, and raiiael her Byes heavenward as if appealing for aid to endure her burden of sorrow, then, clasping her hands convulsively over her forehead, she stood for a moment like a marble image of despair. "Oh, God. help me to bear it pa tiently !" she sobbed, and hurrying out into the garden she walked for an hour or mora up and down the graveled path. When she returned to the house her violent agitation had subsided and her face assum ed its expression of intense sadness. Her arrange actions terrified me, and ever after I carefully avoided referring to the grief which overshadowed her life. Certain days In the year she would appear more dejected than usual. These days, I soon learned, were an niversaries of some dead joy or overwhelm ing affliction. I finally grew accustomed to her peculiar ways, and finding her so thor oughly good and faithful, treated ber like a companion, or friend rather than a servant. When my guests arrived everything was ready. Mary and I had done our utmost to make the house appear Inviting, and the ta ble covered with a snowy cloth fairly groaned nnder the weight of templing viands. She was In a remarkably cheerful mood, and looked really pretty in the dark blue dress, white apron and white muslin cap donned for the occasion: The cap was exceedingly becoming, but greatly altered her appear ance. It was a fancy of hers to wear the cap when strangers were present When we were alone we took ourmeals together. As soon as our Christmas greetings were over I led the way into the dining-room. Just then Mary came in with a platter of broiled chicken. I observed Mr. Mayhew glared at her with startled expression. She went ont again without raising her eyes. Then yon were bom in Trenton," said my sister Helen in answer to a former re mark made by Mr. Mayhew. " Tes I was born in Trenton, and lived there until I was twenty-three." At that moment Mary returned with the dinner-plates. She stopped suddenly and stared at the speaker In a dazed sort of way, apparently forgetful of her errand, until I whispered : Put the plates on the table." "Tes'm," she answered. Turning to leave the room she staggered and caught the door frame. 1 thonzht nothing of the move ment, supposing she had tripped against the rug. When mv gnesta left the dining-room I went into the kitchen to tell Mary that the dinner was a decided success. I found her sitting op an old settee with her head thrown back against the window ledge. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes closed. j Are you ill, Mary ?', I asked, taking her i hand, which was cold and limp. Receiving i no answer. 1 called nelen, and together we succeeded tn restoring her to consciousness. c , , a a . . . . one; inoKrn arouna nor in a newlldered wav, then pointing toward the dining-room, said in a gasping voice : "Tell him-I forgive Tell him I have gone, to ''aby I hope he" between the struggles for breath I caught the words. ' will happy." " She's fainted again," remarked Helen, applying the restoratives once more, but this time without success, for we saw no signs of returning life. I was thoroughly alarmed, and sent Mr. Mayhew for the doctor, who, fortnnately, was at home, and obeyed the summons in stantly, ne took Mary's hand, placed his ear over her heart, opened her eyelids and examined her popils, and then said slowly : "She is dead. The question is, what has killed her? Heart disease, probably, accel erated by a severe shock." I was completely nnnervpd, and wept sin cere, heartfelt tears over the inanimate form of my poor Mary, who died as 6he had lived, making no moan over her burden of pain and sorrow. In the room Mary oectfpled was a small box. which I carried down to the parlor, after the first excitement had subsided, thinking that by examtnlning the contents I might gain some clew as to the whereabouts of her friends. The feox contained mementoes such as wo men treasure. There was a package of yel low letters tied together with a bit of faded ribbon, a little blue shoe, still bearing the imprint of a baby foot, a lock of dark hair and a goldVs curl held together by a band of crape, and several photographs. "All the letters were evidently written by the same person," said nelen, who had been examining the dates, "and this seems to have been the last one received. It is dated Christmas Eve, 1872." It Is addressed to My darling wife,' and signed Tour affec tionate husband.'" " Here is a photograph with something written on the margin. Perhaps yon may be able to decipher It, Mr. Mayhew. The words are almost effaced." I held the picture toward him. LTe was seated on the sofa, some distance from the table, but came forward and took it from my band. I saw him start and turn pale, while great beads of perspiration broke oat on his forehead. "George Mayhew, died March. 1873," he read. In a low, tremblinp voice, while his strong frame shook like an aspen. ne covered his face with his hands and sobbed in a dry teailess sort of way that made my heart ache with pity. Lncy and her mother looked at him In blank astonishment. Let me see her. Miss Bronson. She was my wife," he said, in tones of the deepest anguish. I took the lamp, and silently led the way to the room where we had laid her. He threw himself on his knees beside the lonnge and placed his cheek against the cold still face. I put the lamp down and turned away, leaving him alone with his dead. "Aunt Ruth, what does it all mf n ?' demanded Lucy, with an lnjnred air. " It means that Mary was Mr. Mayhew's wife. Doubtless when his grief is spent he will explain. Such grief is surely born of love." I responded. Lucy'a face grew pallid. She clenched her hands and walked to the other side of the room. I wondered if she waa Jealous of his dead love. Despite my remonstrances be passed the night in the room where Mary's body lay. Before I retired he told me the brief story of his wedded life ; how he had married Mary Corson, the name I knew her by, when she was a mere child and he had not reached man's estate; how happily they had lived together for three years, and about the baby that had come to strengthen the bond of af fection between them. Then sorrow marked them for Ita own. He lost his situation, went to Philadelphia hoping to better bis fortune, and. at a last retort, shipped en a tailing tstal tarrying eargoes from ene ort to an other; waa wrecked and ail on board were reported lost. But be and two companions were rescued by a ship bound for Liverpool. Through the kindness of the captain who had saved his life he obtained a position in a Liverpool shipping-house. He wrote to his wife apprising ber of his safety and told her he would send for her and baby aa aoon as possible. She never received the letter ; for, after waiting week after week for a reply, his own letter was returned to him. Then he asked for leave of absence, and came home only to learn that hit child had died about the time he was wrecked, and his wife had gone away, no one knew whither, ne employed a detective to continue the search and went back to Liverpool. Later, the de tective sent an account of the death of a woman, the name and personal description answering to that of his wife, and for yeata he had mourned her as dead. He remained in Liverpool, became a partner in the firm, and now had charge of the New York branch. Poor Mary bad believed him dead, and when she recognized him In Lucy'a betroth ed, her sorrow-stricken heart could bear no more: nad ehe lived a half hour longer she might have .earned that he had been faithful for many years after their separation ; but she died believing him false doubtless thinking he had deserted her. Mr Mayhew and Lucy were married last July, and are going to spend Christmas with me. A Christmas Legend. A pretty Gor man legend of the Christmas time Is told In many of the cottage homes of that country, suggestive of kindly Impulse and unselfish ness. It relates how, on one Christmas Eve, when the night was dark and the snow was falling fast, nerman, the charcoal burner, drew his cloak tighter aronnd him and ap proached hi lonely hut In the woods, while the wind whistled fiercely through the trees of the Black Forest, ne was poor and work ed hard tosnpport his little farnilv, and many were his cares and his trials, which did not, however, permit his kind heart to forget the misfortunes of others. Before he reached the little hut, where he had tolled at his work through many a dar. he on this stormy night, heard a low, plaintive call, as of a child In distress. Guided by the sonnd. be groped about, and found a little one, alone, and shivering In the cold, scantily clad, near the door of his own hut. In reply to the kind mac's tender words of sympathy at finding the forsaken child where it must needs have perished o? cold and hun ger, the little one could utter no reply, bnt spoke with beseeching eyes the gratitnde he felt for his deliverance, as the good man j wrapped his cloak aronnd his shivering limbs , and carried him to his cottage home. I When he opened the door, he exclaimed, Here, wife, is a guest to onr Christmas ! Eve supper ;" and he led the new-comer by his tiny hand to the blaring hearth-fire, where he soon regained the needful warmth and comfort. And welcome he Is." said the wife. " Let him share with us the gifts which Christmas Eve has brought ; in which child ren and all agreed. A Brave Irish Lad. In the French Ar my, the bugler of the 18th Royal Irish Regi ment, at the recent battle of Tel-el Keblr, would have received the cross and bugle of I nonor. 'i ne youngster, a mere lad, was j breast to breast with Major nart at the head j of the attacking force. Turning, as he scrambled up the face of the works, to sound the charging call, a hostile rifle butt came down on his head, and be was tnmWed back into the ditch. T e staggered to his feet, picked np his bugle, and followed the red wave, which had rolled by daring his disas ter, ne got to the front, while the rank and file were treating the foe to th cold steel, according to thB prescription of Sir Garnet Wolsely. nere he raised a brazen note, but in the midst of It was bayoneted in the shoulder by a Nnblan. The Irish boy haaj lost his sword in his fall, but he held his bu gle in his fist, and with this he joined battle with bis black antagonist, whom he put down in no time with that "point of war." called in Ireland "a band and foot." Then, standing over the prostrate captive, he blew a triumphant blast. The performance is related by Lieut. Drummond Wolff, who adds In his letter that the drollery of the per formance set the soldiers laughing even In the very thick of the carnage. The feat had more humor and not less valor in it'than that of the French drummer at the battle of the Pyramids, who had his right hand slashed offibya horseman of th6 desert, but kept hammering the sheepskin with his left Belfatt Examiner.

"The circumstances I am about to tell diJn't happen within my recollection. I got 'em clean cut from Uncle I should say the late Mr. Peleg Underbill. Teleg didn't know them from personal recollection, either, as he hadn't fell heir to any grandfather at that time, and wasn't in that part of the country. Peleg's grandfather's name was Ezekiel Merry weather. At the age ot twen" ty-two he was a young man living ever on the headwaters of the l-lttle Bushklll. " ne was a romantic sort ot a fellow. He scorned a life of toil, and chose the easy and luxurious existence that comes of living in a brush cabin and chasing the fleet-footed denizens of the dim-lit forest from ridge to rldpe, and bringing home their hide and tal low. He was an original Pike county hun ter, and was known to clear as high as fifty dollars with his gun and traps. Nobody knew where he came from, but he was ex tremely shy and modest. " He had very black hair, and was tall and wiry, and all the girls In the backwoods were struck on him. The fellows were Jealous because he was rolling up wealth so rapidly, and because he cut 'em all out at the stone frolics and husking bees. A family named Jobson had found their way from some where or other in Jersey to that part of the country, and settled near the Monroe county border. There was old Jolnton and his wife and his daughter Mellissa. Jobson had un covered about an acre or earth on his tract, and bnilt him a house, a barn, a wagon shed, a spring house, and ohservatory fifty feet high, and three miles of four-foot wall with the etone the acre yielded. "According to the late Peleg Underbill Melissa must have been a stunner. She was way up in all the accomplishments of the district, which ranged from twirling a flap jack to picking a panther out of a tree with the eld man's flintlock rifle. The pastimes and pleasures of bndding Pige county mai denhood in those days were few, ar.d it were great reward for Melissa to get the promise from her mother that if she would pile so much stone wall while she was resting from turnips he could 'shuck the hide off'n the next wolf that dad fetched in, or if she cut and piled a sufficient quantity of fetrve wood before she went to work hoeing the Haters she might hold the pig at the next Christmas killin' while dad stock it. "It was one day in the fall of 1801 that Ezekiel Merryweatlier first struck the Job son clearing and met Melissa. She was hav ing a holiday and enjoying It In shucking wolves. The wolf crop was good that sea son and old Jobson'a traps were generally full. Ezekiel fell In love with her at sight. She fell ii love with him. too, and he got to tak!ng In the Jobson clearing pretty regn'ar on his hunting expeditions. Finally he ask ed her to marry him. and she said she would. He laid the matter before her old man. " 'Wall, scarcely ; you can't have M'liss said Jobson. 'No young aqulit of a bush whacker don't tie on to her If her dad knows It, an her dad's up to things what's goin on 'round here pooty giner'Iy. When M'ilts goes away from this paster lot If 11 be with some gray-haired old fellow as knows what to treat her to.

Ezekiel struck into the woodt and Melissa shucked wolves with a heavy heart By and by Sim Smith of Poeono r.iet Melissa, ne was on the up per side of fifty, gray as a rat and owned a farm. When he asked old Jobson for Me lissa, Jobson said : " ' Te've draw'd the proper bead the fust time, Sim. Te've bit me plumb back o the fore-shoulder. The gal'a your'n.' "Melissa hadn't anything to say In ths matter, and the wedding was fixed for Christ mas Eve. On that night the population of three townships was at Jobion't tlxtren people in all. Old 'Squire Morgan was there to tie the knot Ezekiel Merry weather was the only absentee. It was a fine moonlight night and as cold as Greenland. The wed ding was to come off at nine o'clock. Every little while the howling of wolvet could be heard on all sides of the clearing. That was nothing uncommon, though, and nobody thought anything of It. About eight o'clock the bowling was more than usually loud and prolonged In one direction. "Wolves Is hungry, to-nlght,' said old Jobton. They're closic In on that deer pooty reg'lar I reckon.' " The howling cams near and nearer. Blamed if I don't think they're goin' to take that deer plumb through our turnip patch, said Jobson. 'Well, let 'em go. We've got other business besides carin for a passel o ornery wolves to-night; hay, Sim?' " The wolves came closer and closer. Their snarling could be heard In the bonse. But no one ever took the trouble to took out of a window. The bowling, and barking, and the wolves were not moving. Melissa went to a window and looked out " Why, dad, said she 'them wolves has treed suthln' in our spring house. They're thick aroun' it, and some of 'em's goin down tha cbimley.' "'Sure enough, says Jobson, -they've druv suthin inter the spring house, sartin. Wall, boys, take your guns. We mowt as well stop this yer noise 'fore we pereeed. "The men took their guns and went out A round or two eettled the business for the wolves outside, but there was a struggle go ing on inside the milk bouse. The door waa forced open. By the light of the moon they saw a man, with his back to the wall, fight ing four hungry wolves with nothing bnt his bunting knlTe. The floor was piled deep with dead wolves. The man was rescued and helped into the house. He was covered with blood, and bit elothes were nearly all torn from him. It was Ezekiel Merryweath er bnt his black hair was as gray at a badger! " ' Z'k'el !' said Melissa. " M'liss !' said Ezekiel. " And they were locked In one another's arms. Then Ezekiel told how he had start, ed to come to the wedding In trite of his feel in pa : how he was c haeed by wolves ; how be fought them for two miles through the snow, and finally sought refuge In the spring j house. The wolves clambered to the roof and let themselves down the chimney and closed in around him. The terror of the situation had turned his hair white, and b had been rescued Just In time. "In the mlilst of the excitement created by Ezekiel's story. Melissa said: "Dad. this yer's the white-haired mam I'm goin' to to tie to. His hair's whiter than Sim's, by a powerful eight "And old Jobson saw the point. The wedding came off at nine o'clock, but Eze kiel was the bridegroom. The late Peleg Underhili used to say that he supposed that the Jobson clearing had a little the Jollleil Christmas Eve that night that ever was known in this country."

I wonder how many of the hundreds who look out on the lake every day acd see th crib tower rising up against a blue or gray f-ky, as the case io.y be, know of a scene that took place there nearly three years ago? At the time of which I speak the crib keeper was a Finn named Kaletrom, a gi gantic man and heavy In proportlen to his size. He was known about the wharves as "Big Charlie," and his claim to distinction was that be had, as he said, "gommanded a bark of a dousand duns," In which be hal sailed the North Seas, and in which, Tiking like. he had carried off bis wife, a bright faced Irish girl from Drogheda, one of the east ports of Ireland. She was a small woman, with grav ayes and long black lashes. She had atrongly marked eyebrows and a mass or waving black hair that crept in Utt le carls aronaa her temples and the nape of her neck. She had the piquant nope of her race and a gen erous mouth filled with strong white teeth. It was In March, and the day was one of those soft, treachetous ones that lore unwa ry flowers to their destruction, and sow pneumonia and bronchitis broadcast The sun shone warmly, and the great lake seem ed to dream c? springtime. The crib larder was like Mother Hubbard's cupboard, and Kalstrom took his eroaU boat and rowed ashore. In the few hours bs spent among th e shops and In taking a glass of beer with his fr'erds, the wind charged, and when he reached the shore with his stores, he found the lake churned up to the fury peculiar to inland seas. ne was worried, but had such confidence In his little Irish girl, as he called her. that he spent the night quietlv. The next day day found the storm as wild as ever, and be spent the hours of daylight striding up and down the shore, for by this time he knew the few provisions had given out and that his wife was artnally suffering for food. Twice he launched his boat and twice It swamred. At dark the light gleamed out from the crib top. but to Kalstrom's eye It had a bale ful glare, and morning found him determin ed. "I'll go ev I he? to swim vor It" at he swore with some round Scandinavian oaths. Fortunately the wind was more quiet and after hard work he came under the lee of crib-walls. His wife had spied blm, and the cast blm a rope from the top story of the crib ; for the waves rolled o high tl-.at all the stoim doors and phutters were battened down and the white caps spit at the lantern at they drove beTore the wind. He caught the rope and passed np hit bundle of supplies. She dropped It aseeoni time ; and, just as he got It under hit anna a great wave swamped the boat, leaving him clinging to the wall, blinded and bruised, and depending on the little woman np aloft for his life. She began hauling on the rope, and had drawn him as high as the still frame he thrusting fingers and toet into whatever crevieea offered. As he reached hit light hand up, the wind came round the the cor ner with a yell and tore blm loose, dropping him ito the lake ; but the faithful Irish girl paid out the line as fast as she could, and he found himself with a chance for life stl'l In bis reach. Up he came, hand over band, and at he entered the window he saw her fall, and In the dim light he noticed a strange discolora tion of her fare, and the fact that her drett was torn to rags In front Well, to make a long story ebort, when ha picked her np he found the weddlng-Dngac of her left hand entirely gone, and the ten don ripped ont np to the elbow.
