WELCOME CHRISTMAS.
Thrice welcome, day of days! The skies
Ope wide their gates at thy command
And Heaven's aubllmeat symphonies ,
Roll craudlv over ftea and land.
The dwa of charity distill
Their Incense everywhere, and cornea
A unlvetsal Joy to fill
The highest and the humblest homes.
Thy son doth bless with holler klssl
Thy breath a grander these doth hymn!
Thy wings do close the black abyss
Of evil, and no longer dim
Are valleys of eternal peace.
Or land where Its. own restores.
But akies uncurtained show Increase.
Of glory on thy crystal shores!
And thou dost light for me again
The yule-log on the homestead hearth.
The grarea where long the dead have lain
Do oped, as a vernal garth.
And bloom for me once more the loves
That roseate made my youthful days;
Within thy firelight lives and moves
My mother, haloed with the rays
Of Paradise, and as. her twin
Lips with the olden fondlings part.
And 1. enraptured, cuddle In
The velvet haven of her heart, .
I see the pail of doubt unfold.
And on the pathway of the sun
God's finger writes In lines of gold
The words, "For Home ana Heaven I
one!'-
Then, too, thy chimney glow reveals
My father's face: the old armchair
i again, and Lulu kneels
Beside him with her Christmas prayer;
The sweet-voiced pleadings uttered
d eaaines uttered a
are.
And grandpa's lips do part to say.
"Thank God the gates are all alar
Twlxt Home and Heaven on Christmas
Dayl"
Then, welcome, day of days! Thy dawn
Is vibrant with familiar tones,
The veil that dims our sight is drawn.
The farther shore thy sunlight tones.
No growth of skeptic fancy now
Our faith In glad reunion leavens.
For 'tis engraven on thy brow
That Heaven Is Home's, and Home
Heaven'sl
Century.

and. the loved ones
is a dreary period of
the year. At least
so thought Chailes
McKeena, as ho tra
versed the top of his
nine c.irs of pota
toes en route for
the Southern mar
ket. He wus one of
the you ag dealers,
and, as his opra'
tions were not extensive it was impera
tive for him to personally "fire" his own
cars. If none of the potatoes were frozen
before he reached New Orleans, a hand
some profit would await him there, for
there was a big margin just at this time.
It was lonesome . work .it the best, not
without an element of danger, anil work
which required constant attention in or
der to keep the fires from going out,
Seated before the fire n one of the cars
he rested his head on his hands and med
itated about his wife and the two little
ones. The fire glowed brightly a. id his
heart was filled with hope, energy and
ambition as he gazed .nto its ruddy
depths. The train was speeding along at
a normal rate, and the steady rhythmic
sound was resumed upon the rail) and
then he fell esleep
How long he rested in h chair he did
not know. Then he came to himself with
a start, being r.iaiost thrown from bis
chair by a jolt as the train again stopped
on a switch. Drawing out his watch he
consulted it, and then gave an exclama
tion of alarm. He had overslept himself;
the bres were probably out by this time;
the frost had entered the potatoes, nnd
he was ruined. Hastily making his way
to the next car, to his surprise the fire
In the stove was burning brightly, and
the interior, if anything, was too warm,
He hurried irj"xt car. . There It

The next five cars were In a liko con
dition and he was Immensely relieved
and more puzzled than ever. Who in
the world could have fired his stoves for
him? He entered the last car, and was
surprised to see a tramp seated uear
the stove, toasting his toes to his heart's
content.
"Hello," said McKeena.
"Hello,"' responded the tramp to M
Keena's exclamation.
For a moment they stood there, and
then McKeena, waving his hand, said:
"Don't mind me."
"All right," remarked the tramp, and
"HELLO,1 said m'keena
with that he seated himself again before
the stove. McKeena also drew up . a
cbair. Then he took a cigar case from
his pocket.
"Smoke?" he asked.
"Thanks." .
After a few whiffs the tramp remark
ed:: y
"Be you the feller that runs the pota
toes?". ' -
"I am."
McKeena himself lighted a weed and
then said: ... , : - '

IN ENGLAND.
AMONG all"Hhe Germanic nations
Christmas has ever been the most
popular of all church festivals.
In England it was, and is, the one great
national feast, and in the Anglican
church and among the Lutherans of Ger
many the exclusion of many minor festi
val from the calendar has only concen
trated the popular affection upon Christ
mas. The Furitans made a vigorous battle
against what they thought a supersti
tion, and in lt!52 it was ordered by Par
liament "that no observation shall be had
of the five-and-twentieth day of Decem
ber, commonly called Christmas Day, nor
any solemnity . used or exercised in
churches upon that day in respect there
of." A little before. In 1S47, the town
crier of Canterbury proclaimed that
"Christmas and all other suerstitious
festivals should be put down, and a mar
ket held upon Christmas Day." But none
of these orders had much effect. In
Scotland John Knox did succeed in pretty
effectually suppressing the observance of
Christmas, in the Lowlands, at least, but
he simply transferred the popular cus
toms and superstitions to New Year's
Day. There is an English rhyme of this
period that illustrates the popular feel
ing on the subject:
Ail plums the prophets' sons defy,
ALd splce-broths are too hot;
Treason's In a December pye.
And death within the pot.
Christmas, farewell, thy days I fear,
And merry days are done;
8o they may keep feasts all the year.
Our Saviour shall have none.

"Much obliged."
"Don't mention it. Tou lemme ride
and I'll call it square, pard."
"Very well. How far are you going?"
"New Orleans."
Then they both smoked in silence. Mc
Keena examined his companion casually.
He was a tall man of athletic figure, and
it was evident that he possessed enorm
ous strength. His face was covered with
a bushy growth of whiskers and with
eyes about as bright as two coals. He
puffed at his cigar with evident enjoy
ment. "How's potatoes?" he said.
"Good."
"Any family?"
"Yes; wife and two, and I miss them
especially on Christmas eve."
The tramp took another whiff, and
something like moisture appeared In bis
eyes.
"I had a wife once," he remarked.
"Indeed!" said the other with a show
of interest. "Where is she now?"
"She was sent to J I mean, she
died. She had consumption."
McKeena attempted to give evidence
of sympathy and. the ragged intruder
tipped back his head and his eyes gleamed
more than ever.
"Had a kid, too," he remarked.
"What's become of him?"
"He's in the reformthat is to say,

"You don't tell me?" commented Mc
Keena, endeavoring to look as though
he believed the other's narration.
'"Pon honor."
Again there was silence, which was
finally broken by the tramp.
"Any vittels?"
"Yes." '
McKeena produced hli lunch-basket
and his visitor ate ravenously, as though
he had not touched food for twenty-four
hours.
"You turn in, pard," remarked the
tramp. "I'll keep up the fires."
The other hesitated, but finally laid
down and took a nap. All the way to
New Orleans this programme was fol
lowed. Early one morning as the train
topped, the tramp said:
"Good-bye. 1 think I'll light out before
we git to town."
Then he turned to the other and hand
ed him an envelope. Before McKeena
could answer he was gone. The former
mechanically handled the envelope and
gazed doubtfully at the new, crisp $20
bill and the following message: ,

In Norway,
One of the prettiest of Christmas cus
toms is the Norwegian practice of giving
on Christmas Day a dinner to the bints.
On Christmas morning every gable, gate
way, or barn-door is decorated .with a
sheaf of corn, fixed on the top of a tall
pole, wherefrom it is intended that the
birds shall make their Christmas dinner.
Eveu the peasant will contrive to have
a handful set for this purpose; and what
the birtls do not eat on Christmas Day
remains for them to finish at their leisure
through the winter.
In France,
In Paris Christmas Day Is kept as a
religious festival, and many who would

days make a point of attending mass on
le Jour de Noel, and the bluze of the
tapers falls on crowded congregations,
men, women and children, kneeling,
standing and sitting on the wide area
of the Madeleine and Notre Dame. Of
late years it has become chic to attend
midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and

The devout of Mexico go to early mass
on Christmas morning. The minority de

come the festivities. These are of all
sorts and arc imbued with a religious

tered the dining-room, Mrs. Piffkins was
apparently unconscious that he carried
a bulky parcel, while he in turn was quite
unaware that a small, queer-shaped pack

"My dear," remarked Mr. Piffkins, as
he set down his coffe cup and rolled up
his napkin, "during our married life there
has been only one serious cause for con

"I have also determined to turn over
a new leaf, as you will presently see,"
and she nodded mysteriously toward the
queer-shaped package.
"I have resolved during the coming
year to discontinue the use of tobacco."
And he awaited the burst of delighted
surprise to follow.
Mrs. Piffkins turned pale, doubtless
with joy, replying tremulously: "I can
not accept this sacrifice; but I have re

Nineteen htiudred years ago, less four,
witnessed one of the most remarkable
epochs known to secular history, and the
most remarkable period of which spirit
ual man has ever conceived. It was by
the decree of Augustus, then emperor of
Home, that the, prophet's words were
verified and the Christ born in the, town
of David. The circumstances were these:
By an official order a census of the tcrri
tory of Palestine was called for, and to
that end from every part of the province
the Inhabitants betook themselves, ac
cording to the Jewish custom, to tho town
from which they claimed their oripn.
From Nazareth in tho north to Bethle
hem in the south was a long journey,
eighty mlleB over wintry rpadB and up and
down the hills of the rolling country. But
Joseph, who was as good a subject as ho
was a Hebrew, obeyed the command,
and started for the city of David at the
bidding. The first stop was; probably at

The Servians have many curious
Christmas customs, half pagan, hulf
Christiun in their origin. There Is the

somewhat to the yule log, cut down and

honey ami butter, in the hope that bees

sort of Father Christmas or Santa Clans,
in the person of a l'oluzenik, a specially
honored visitor, who is the first person
received Into the house on Christmas
morning. Then there is the cooking of
the national Christmas dish. What
turkey is to the American, pork is
to the Servian. Even the poorest fam
ily will save up all the year round
so as to be able to purchase a pig nt

thousand years before Huth gleaned for
Boaz, and where Jesse and David had
rested. The remainder of the journey
was made by easy stages, the humblo
couple stopping to rest at such quarters
as their meaiiB could afford.
They arrived in Bethlehem In the after
noon and found the little city crowded
with a host of people bound on o mission
similar to their own. Every caravansary
was filled. The streets were thronged
with people seeking accommodation, and
after repeated efforts to obtain qnurters
in the city proper, which numbered at
that time only about 3,000 Inhabitants,
and was, therefore, unprepared for an
emergency of this sort, the footsore wan

traveling about a mile they fouud the lit
