"I should bo very good Indeed.
I'd list to tho heart's voice and pass

And rejolco In my own life's prime,
And would pause to bo kind to tho ones
most dear
If I only did havo tho time."

IF, LONG AGO.
If, long ago,
Tho Christmas bells had nover rung
Across the snow
While Judah's shepherds watched their
their flocks by night,
Had not that wondrous star burst on their
sight
And led them unto where a young child
lay,
Tho world would bo a dieary world this
winter day,
If on that morn,
On Bethlehem's plain, tho Virgin's
son
Had not been born.
How tho bells ring!
And how, lu tho far, frosty sky,
The angels sing!
What Joy, what hopo, what radiance di
vine Shines from that star, and shall forever
shine!
Tho song Is ringing over all tho earth
Today has seen a wondrous sight, tho
Saviour's birth!
But all! the woe
If Christmas bells had never rung
Across the snowl .

life is too short to waste one day of
It sick ubed, grumpy or ailing.
Indigestion, nervousness and rheu
matism make one old before one"o
time, take the heart out of work, and
make one a burden at home and a
bore to one's friends. Everyone owes
it to his family to his friends, to his
success and happiness to get strong
and stay so.
Worn-out nerves bring on more 111
health and disease .than all other causes
put together. In their impoverished
condition they cause the blood to be
come thin, weaken the digestion and
make the heart work with difficulty.
The main factor In eradicating neural
gia, rheumatism, nervousness, head
aches and sleeplessness from the sys
tem consists in making the nerves
stronger. Palne's celery compound is
the ncrve-lnvlgorator par-excellence.
Better nervo nutrition plays the prin
