T LEAN back in my arm-chair as tha snow Cukes soft and v.-hit
Clothe the hilltops and the valleys In hatihmenls of white.
While the cutting winds of winter send their music far and wide,
Disputing with the mellow oells the joys of Chr.stmas-tide ;
I seem to catch the echoes of the songs they s;ng on hijh,
Eeyond the mystic beauty of December's vaulted sky, "
And again is told the story of the Christ-child's humble birth,
As I sit and. eager, listen ly the dear old Chr stir.as hearth.
fHERE 's music in the steeples, there are chimes deep In the dells,
And the wild winds mingle gladly with the holy Christmas bells,
And I look beyond ths wincow on the beauty of the snow,
RiCallin- some'sweet Chriitmases In life's tair " long ago ; "
What scer.js come floating back along the winding ws of Time,
Like the fragrance of the 1 owers of an ever-cherished clime ;
Till my chamber fills with faces and I hear the souncs of mir'.h
That brighten with inf-cticus glee the happy Christmas hearth.
SEE six little stockings hanging in a pretly row.
Wo hurf '-' .";mi i lis cherished health one twilight lor.g ago.
And wi, : ii nestled closer 'neath the old roof-tree of home,
And harily slept fir watching for old Santa Claus to come ;
I remember, ah! who does not? how the sunny Christmas morn
Revealed the wealth of treasure from the doll to drum and horn
How the house was filled with laughter till it seemed to shake the earth,
While brighter glowed the fire upon the old Christmas hearth.
fO-DAY there seems to come to me across the fleecy sncw
The beauty and the glory of that Chri .tmas long ago,
Vheti shepherds watched tlieir gentle flocks upon the hills afar,
In the heaven-tinted splendor of the East's transcendent star;
I see a mother bend above a matchless cherub face,
And a radiance not earthly drives ths shadows from the place;
Till Judea wakes to glory and new beauty crowns the earth,
And the choristers cl Heaven sing about my Christmas hearth.
QLD Time seems in his dotage and upon h'j tresses white
Lie thesnowflakesof a Christmas that h;;s filled me with delight;
Far and wide the bells are ringing, and their music, glad and free,
Tells the story of His coining on the land and on the sea ;
And mingled with their anthems Is that chorus all divine
That filled a mother's heat t with Joy one night in Palestine ;
And I bow my head a moment as the children check their mir'.h,
And silence comes to sanctify the dear old Christmas hearth.
I BLESS the glorious dawning ot this queenly winter day,
It brings to ail a gladress from a region far away,
And while the bells are rirglng over aU this fcaiitous earth
I bless the loves that clus.er round tho det.- q; j Cnrtstmas hsarth.

mind to make a fire in the stove just to
picae him; he kept nuking for it so long
tlioiiL'li, conic to think. of it, he hasn't
mentioned, it lately, though 1 always told
him it only made a dirt for me to clean
up and the furnace heated the whole
place anyhow, lie said his mother Used
to have a nice fire in the stove when they
came in evenings. Of course, she did: his
mother never saw a furnace in her life,
and wouldn't have known it from a tele
phone if she had." She paused, with
her hands on her hips, to admire the re
sult of her labors. "Yes, 1 guess 1 will
lig'.it a lire in that stove, anyhow, it will
serve us a text for more remarks about the
cold and a few more hints as to how 1
do need a new set of furs this Christmas.
Josinii is a good niun, but he is as close
when it comes to a question of money as
a potato is to its skin."
She was bustling about as she talked,
making her preparations to light a lire in
the biilliantly polished stove. "There, I
declare," she cried, as she opened the
door, "if Josiah hasn't got this stove nil
filled up with papers and trash, after all
my talking; it does seem as if you can't
teach a man to be careful about a house
any more than yon can teach a hen to
play checkers! Never mind, I'll just lay
my kindlings on top of the trash and not
scold Christmas is not the time for scold
ing, anyhow though when you've got to
live with a man it's best to take every;
opportunity to teach him what's right."
As the fire began to crackle cheerfully,
she left it and went over to, the old-fashioned
cupboard in the corner, reached
carefully to the top shelf and took down
bundle. .
"IU just take a last peep at Josiah'a
present," she said. "I tell you, thpre was
