DECEMBER 23.1807 BLESSINGS OF GHRISTAVAS. Why It Is the Day of All Days In the Christian Calendar. A IMPRECISELY nine- teen cent u r les I have passed since there fell upon the ears of a verv i y mother the most ryk gladsome sound YlfclU that ever comes to 1 mortal the first ! wail of her first- I 1 " born child. She was scarcely more than a child herself, being: but about 1G years of age; but tradition attaches to her most excellent judgment, and a maternal instinct in calculably strong. Besides did she not know her boy had been foretold by the j angel? "Thou slialt call His name ! Jesus, because He shall save Ilis people from their sins." She might not love lliin the more because of His illustrious destiny, but her heart could not be j but lifted up in commendable pride at this reflection, as she gazed for the first time into His dear, sweet face and His tiny blue eyes looked wonderingly into hers. Then the news quickly went abroad, angels from Heaven bearing about the tidings of the birth of their King. They told the shepherds upon the plains of Salem und the wise men of the east and all of them entered the lit tle caravansary of the village of Bethle hem, and saw the babe and its mother lying down in the same room where were the camels and horses and oxen of strangers, who had come up to I Jerusalem to be taxed. Angels sang j the praises of the newly born and a new ; star appeared in the sky. The wise men brought gifts and laid them at the feet of the mother. This was the first Christmas and Mary was the person in all the world to receive a Christmas gift, and hers was infinitely greater in value than all combined, that have been since received by all the people who have lived or died. Her gift, the Christ- , child; she honored above all the wom en who have lived or died, in being made the mother of Him who should "be called Jesus, because lie shall save His people from their sins." The angel song to the shepherds had for its burden "peace to men of good will." One could scarcely think of a Christmas that is other than gladsome and joyous. The clouds may be thick overhead, while in north countries the earth may have a sheet of snow, and in tlie southlands there may be thunder and rain. But there are warmth, sun light and gladness in the heart—the best place in all the world for them. In the heart birds sing carol songs of joy; • in the heart flowers bloom, leaves are out upon the trees and velvety grass covers the hills. O, the Christmas tide—Christ's birth day, day of all days in the calendar. How hearts glow on this day and warm each to the other. How strifes and bit ternesses end, and all cares, from with out and from within, take on quick wings and fly far away. llow self is swallowed in love for those about one. and all become, like the Magi who visited Jesus, hearers of gifts—glad heart gifts that make radiant the cheeks of donors as well as recipients. O, the Christ day. Would that the cheer of the family board, the joyous home-bringing and the gladness of the heart might be in every day of the year. That, indeed, would be a bring ing down of the New Jerusalem from Heaven to earth; for then there would he no more sorrow or tears, and wicked ness and sin would end in the land.

I "Bother a cold j opportunity, was it not?" said one of I the gentlemen, regarding her with re spectful admiration. "A little fresh, but I can't let my youth slip from me unimproved," and smiling she stepped lightly, but with quiet dignity, into the elevator. "That's a woman in ten thousand," | said the gentleman who-had spoken to ; Mrs. Peabody. | "Yes," said his companion. "'The \ worldly Mrs. Peabody,' as her family j and friends half in jest, half seriously, ' call her. is an exceptional woman. Her | son Harry is 40. But years don't count ! when aw oman is as charming as Mrs. Peabody. Give me a worldly woman of j the right sort every time. It will be j time enough for angels when we reach i the Klysian fields." "You're right. Didn't she look a ' picture, though, in that natty bicycle j suit?" In the meantime Mrs. Peabody had j donned a modish house gown and scaled j herself in the circling window of her sittipg-room. It was one of the hand i somest apartments in the hotel and its windows commanded a superb view of water, shore and distant city. Al though the holidays were near at hand the first snow was just beginning to fall in large, far-npart flakes that poised and fluttered in the air as if determined to finish some eerie game before p< r- j mitting themselves to sink finally. As -he took up some gold and green satin which she was fashioning into a got- ! •jeous sofaetfsliion.shecaught n glint} - e of the marvelous picture which wrack ng silver-gray clouds, bits of sky. the water and floating snow were forming ?T; PJP ill! J WWWk : V..V . ' 'V\ W-:W : W v < I! MRS PF./.nODY FOUND NORA. from shore to sky line, and she paused and enjoyed it as only a person gifted with fine appreciation could. Mrs. Pea body knew that she possessed tl.'< gilt and she i.ever attempted to belittle or exceed it. P.er appreciation of the efforts of oihers was cordial at.d intelli gent and wholly unmixed, with a weak lesire to imitate th-etn. For this reason she was a favorite with artists, musicians and literary workers, who valued her opinion and regiiruea tier HOC as TNC vronchy Airs. Peabody, but quite one of themselves. St ill, M. rs. Peabody was a society woman to the end of her finger tips. She i would no more have missed a social function from choice than she would have broken the decalogue, and she certainly would not have done that, for she was not only a member of one of t lie most fashionable Presbyterian churches in the city, but her husband was one of its elders, and in her way she lived the religion she professed. Indeed she was in all things wholly sin cere. There was not even in her youth ful appearance a single note of arti ficiality. The Peabodys were not rich, but they were able to have many of the luxuries of life. On the wall above Mrs. Pea body's work table was one of Cazin's vivid yet delicately ideal interpreta tions of nature. Further on was a small Corot, a brilliant bit of Vibert's realism, a Landseer, a Gibson girl and a gay, impossible poster, for Mrs. Pea body's appreciation was of the all around kind. Still, there were some things which Mrs. Peabody wanted very much which she did not have, and one of them was a pair of diamond solitaires, ller ears had been pierced when she was a child. She never would have thought of wearing anything less handsome thau fine genus, and the small, vacant punctures were an ever present thorn in the rose of her satisfac tion as she viewed herself costumed i and ornamented for the many functions | she was never weary of attending. She would not have told just how it was that desiring them so much she had al ways missed having them, but so it was. As she sat stitching she found herself wondering if possibly the coveted solitaires might not be among her Christmas gifts. She had confided to an intimate friend, with whom Mr. Peabody invariably consulted when he | gave her presents, how much she want ed them. As she sat sewing and think | ing there came a soft knock at the door followed l>y the announcement: ! "It is just Annie, Mrs. Peabody. It's I about Nora I'm after comin'," she said i as she came in. "It's very bad she is, mum. The doctor says she must have a operation that costs a dale of money, ! have her leg took off or die. Nora says | she will go lo Heaven on the two legs of her, but won't be livin' wid a stump. Nora's savin's are all gone, and Biddie Sullivan's too, and all they have now is Biddic's earnin's, Nora's mother, poor old dame, can do no more than take care of her. I thought, mum, if you would see Nora you could be chance in juce her to have her leg cut off." Nora had at one time been Mrs. Pen body's favorite maid, and she did not hesitate about going to her at once, although she knew the snow, so beauti ful as a part of her window picture, was making a most disagreeable slush on i the streets. | When Mrs. Peabody and Annie reached the tenement where Nora i lived.and were mounting fhe stairs.they heard n strong melodious voice singing to the strokes and clicks of n fiat iron as it was used and placed and replaced i on a inetnl stand: ! "Be not court In' of woes by tonkin' 'em up, j Just work and be merry and drink of youi I cup. Not oarln* about what to-morrow may bring: IPs to-day. my laddie, that's bavin* Us fling: What good at all are you If you're alway? a-carin'? For carin' It Is that leads to despalrln'." "I wonder who that philosopher is?' said Mrs. Fen body. "That's Biddie Sullivan. She's alway? a singin* lo keep them cheered." "She is Nora's aunt, isn't she?" "No, just a friend from the old coun try as always lives with them." "And she supports them?" "Yes, what else could she be doln under the circumstances?" Mrs. Peabody found Nora not onlj very ill. but wholly determined not 1< have her limb amputated. To nil thai .she could say Nora persistently de> dared: "It's me two legs HI be Ink in* tr Heaven wid me. mum. I'll never bf ifter carrying n stumparonnd wid trie.' "Don't be too sure," said Biddie Sulli van. "it may bi to the bad place you'l. be taken' the two leg's of ye. It was onlj last Sunday that Father Moloney said, quotin' the Uolv Schriptures: 'lf yer leg be bad cut it off and cast it from ye, for it's better to be halted and maimed than hnvin* two legs all right to go to hell.* *' But it was all to no purpose. Nora was obdurate. Airs. Pea-body saw several physicians end found that nothing but a difficult operation which could not be under taken for less than SSOO could save both the girl's life and limb and she de- I termined if possible to have it per ! formed. To that end she asked her hus -1 band if he thought they could spare SSOO to help some one in great need, and he j had replied: j "I think not this year, mj* d>ear. I ! never knew more trj'ing times. I have | ex en withdrawn m} r subscription from the Relief and Aid." j It was but three days until Christ ' mas. The weather was cold, crisp and tine. Mrs. Peabody had all her gifts | ready and everything seemed to prom j ise an unusually pleasant holiday sen ; son. But a cloud which constantly ob- I truded itself on Mrs. Peabody was the ! thought of the little household where Nora waited for death, and'brave, faith ful Bid die Sullivan was at her wash tub and ironing board, early and- late, to keep the wolf from the door. "I've decided to take you into my con fidence," said' Mr. Peabody, "and I think I'M do so before I look over the evening • paper. As the worldly Mrs. Peabody has ! perfect taste, I want to know what she thinks of these as a Christinas gift for | my best girl? Will they suit her? I've only taken them on approval," and' he ; handed her a dainty open ease in which were a pair of brilliant and exquisite ! ly matched solitaires, from the very j best house in the city. This latter | fact, the "hallmark," meant much to j Mrs. Peabody, for nothing but the best ; from the best satisfied her fastidious j taste. ( "How very beautiful! Ah, how good you are, Erastus!" she exclaimed, her face glowing with pleasure, j "I have wanted them so long. You don't know how they suit me," she i continued, as she adjusted the beau ! tiful gems and viewed her reflected | self with the utmost satisfaction. | "They do suit you," said l Mr. Peabody, , regarding her admiringly. Then sud denly the light went out of Mrs. Pea i body's face and she turned from the mirror. | "Erastus," she said, "don't think me rude, but will you tell me how much you are to pay for my solitaires?" ! "Certainly, Josephine, just an even I $1,000—" "Erastus, will 3-ou take them back and give me the price of one." and she explained that she proposed to have the "ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED TO DO THIS?" operation performed which would re store Nora, "and you take the price of the other and renew your subscription to the Relief and Aid." "But, my dear, you say you have wanted a pair of solitaires for a long ! time," said Mr. Peabody. "And haven't I had them?" asked Mrs. Peabody. "But you are sure you are satisfied to do this?" "Entirely sure." "And this is the 'worldly Mrs. Pea body,' " said her husband, putting his arm about her. "Yes, it is," she said-, throwing back tier head and smiling. "I am worldly. | I love the world, and I was never hap j pier in it than I am just now." "It was for love of the world," said I Mr. Peabody, softly, as he bent and kissed his wife, 'that the Christ whose 1 birth we celebrate came to teach, suf fer and die among us."
