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

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."
