Awake, today, in spirit strain, The song that never dies! Find out that glittering tar again, The scales dropped from our eyes! For God's dear love is potent now As when His reign began; The chanting of the seraph band Shames restless heart of man. Here, in our midst, the Heavenly Dovo Seeks an eternal rest; Descending from His throne above To hide within each breast Wake! Better Natures, sleeping long! Cast off the thralls of sin! List to the choiring angels' song And let the White Dove in! Mute by the graves of vanished hates. Greet all in love today! Lift up your brows with hearts elate, And meet Him on our way! Richard Henry Savage. HERB did the Christmas tree or iginate? This is a question that doubtless would puzzle most people to answer. It came to us from Eng land, and it is pret ty well settled that it was taken there from Germany, for the custom of setting up a tree hung with gifts at Yule-tide was by no means universal in Britain until after the marriage of Queen Victoria to a Ger man prince. But prior to this there was a sort of Christmas tree in England. The "Wassail bob," a bunch of holly or other evergreens on s. pole, decked with ribbons aad hung with oranges and apples, and sometimes bearing a pair of dolls, was"1 carried about ia York shire at Christmas nearly a century ago. Aad until 1830 the "besant" was escorted by a procession with music at Shaftesbury it being a tree-shaped framework covered with ribbons, flow ers aad peacock feathers, on which were knag Jewels, coins and other ar ticles of value, loaned by the local gen try. Hatcklns' history of- Dorset states la lMt that the decorations of this "besaat," or "byiant." or "beson." as it was variously called, were sometimes worth as much as 1,600. Tmsse and kindred customs prevail ing la the Eaglaad of a century ago are generally regarded by archaeolo gists as sarvirals of tree worship, which seems to have existed every where. Germany probably received the tree from Scaadiaavia. where the ancient legend tells of "Tggdrasll." the ash. which Mass together heaves, earth aad hall; Its branches spreading over the whole world, and reaching above the sky; Its rootaraaalag in three di rections, oas to the Asa gods ia heav e. one to the Frost giants, aad the third to the nndor-world. ia the mx SB k y r books, written a dozen centuries ago, relate how the gods puiled up by the roots on the mountain Kager the Saka tree, on the branches of which they bung Jewels, a mirror and blue and white peace offerings to the shining goddess of the heavens. The Hindoo Parijata and Kalpavris ksha yielded all the objects of the de sires of gods and mortals, and so, too, did the Iranian Harvisptokhm, "the tree of all the seeds." At cremation ceremonies in Bud dhist Siam a framework representing a tree, to which are tied limes and nut shells containing money and lottery tickets, occupies a prominent place, and after the ritea these "fruits," which are called "karaphruk," are scrambled for by the crowd. In Upper India the scavenger caste carry In processions, in honor of their god Zahir, a bamboo framework deck ed with bright colored cloths and pea- "THE WASSAIL BOB." cock feathers, and hung with fans and bunche3 of cocoa nuts. Luclan described trees covered-with ornaments and sacred attributes which were brought each year to be burnt offerings to the goddess Atergatis at Hierapolls of Syria; and he told also of great trees, loaded with goats, sheep, garments and gold and silver objects which were burned before the Syro Phoenician gods. Conventional, or "made-up" trees are pictured on Babylonian cylinders, and one of the bilingual hymns trans lated by Prof. Sayce describes how the "Place of the Tree" (of which these pictured trees were undoubtedly sym bols) is the central spot of the earth, while its fruits obviously the stars are of brilliant crystal and reach into the liquid vast." The pine of Cyuele and Attls is still to be seen on the ancient bas reliefs, hung with bells, a reed flute, a wheel and other objects, and there are sacred birds among the branches and a ram and a bull standing beneath, ready for sacrifice. Pictures and other votive objects were attached to the laurel of Apollo. Summing up all the evidence, it cer tainly seems that the Christmas tree hung with gifts has descended to us from the -timed when decorated trees laden with offerings were worshiped as representatives of the abstract "Universe tree," whose trunk was the cosmic axis, whose loots were in the under-world, and whose branches, lift ed aloft into the skies, bore up the heavenly hosts. The custom of decorating the church es with greenery at Christmas had its origin in a pagan ceremony. The great feast of Saturn was held in De cember, when the worshipers hung the temple with such green things as they could find; and the Christians adopted the same method to celebrate the birth of the Savior, giving it an emblematic turn by referring to the "righteous branch." and justifying it from Isaiah 55: 13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the, pine tree and the box together to beautify the place of my sanctuary."

Hark, etc. THE YULE LOG, Christmas day in the primitive church was always observed as the Sabbath day, and, like that preceded by an Eve, or Vigil. Hence our pres ent Christmas Eve. On the nigbt of this Eve, people were wont to light up candles of an uncommon size, call ed Christmas candles, and lay a log oi wood upon the Are, called a Yule los or Christmas block, to illuminate the house, and, as it were, to turn night into day. This custom is still kept up in the north of England. The size of these logs of wood, which were in fact great trees, may be imagined from the fact that in the time of the civil wars of the last century, Capt. Hosier burnt the house of Mr. Barker of Haghmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury, by setting fire to the Yule log. At the bringing in of the Yule log at Christmas Eve in the ancient castle of England, the great hall of the castle was profusely decorated with ivy and holly berries. As soon as the log was lighted the Christmas festivities be gan. The servants were then given a general holiday and did not go to beJ at all, but rambled about until the church bells called them to prayer at 12 o'clock. The word Yule signifies Christmas, which was called in the Latin or Western church the Feast of Lights, because they used many lights cr candles at its celebration in honor of Christ, the Light of all Lights. Some Holiday UlaU. Don't outgrow Christmas Don't forget that the people whom you owe like to make presents too Don't think that you are too poor to keep Christmas. You can't be so poor as all that Don't give presents that are a pleas ure for ten minutes, and a burden and a worry for ten years. Don't spend so much on Christmas that you can't get even with the butcher and the grocer until March. Don't you women don't buy neck tiea for your men-folks. Don't en courage them in being bigger guys than necessary. Don't give your wife somethlnr she doesn't care for, just because yon want yon want it yourself. This "don't other way juat as well. works the Don't put off buying your presents until the afternoon before Christmas, unless you are of a sociable disposition and are easily satisfied. Don't try to find the price-marks on the gifts you receive. If the gifts are worth having, they seem somtfcfne above dollars and cents. Don't forget that a basket of fruit or a box of flowers is just as nice a present, in many cases, as something that will last a good deal 'longer. Don't forget the Bob Cratchits and the Tiny Tims that is, unless yoa are unregenerate Old Scrooge, in which rase forgetfulness can be explained. Don't check off each gift yon receive against each present that yoa gave, and calculate whether yoa made or lest.' Christmas is not the time to be any smaller or meaner -than yoa can help.

And far above the stormy coast doth bend an inky I'm waiting still to greet my boy who promised ho would come Pve longed and waited many years, I've watched the speechless sea, But somewhere in the distance sails the Seagull far from mc; Each Christmastide I set his chair be fore the chestnut fire. And wait for footsteps at the door to bring me my desire. The rose has faded on the mead, and winter crowns the wold. And in the village Christmas bells ring out the story old, But dear to all the world, how In the ' soft and scented hay, In Judah's land beloved by all, the gentle Christ-child lay. I stir the fire and wait for Joe, for something unexpressed Tells me that I shall feel again the hand so often blessed. That from the tropics far away, or from the lands of snow The missing ship will bring the boy who left me long ago. The gulls are screaming where the waves in fury lash the shore, And Christmas finds me all alone with sorrow at my door, Yet in my heart there blooms a flow'r both delicate and fair The rope of Hope which angel hands have sweetly planted there. Was that the storm king at my door? Or did I hear a hand? Who comes to wish me well today o'er snowy sea and land? r-Thls Christmas I would wait alone within my little home For Joe, who told me with a kiss that some day he would come. It was a knock, I ope the door. What stranger guest is this? Unlike the tall and gallant youth whose cherished voice I miss. What! back at last? it cannot be, yet 'tis his smile, I know, And Christmas brings my darling home despite the swirling snow. Aye, thro' the tempest and the sea he comes to keep his word. And now I know that far above the widow's prayer was heard; There steals into my little room a light like that which fell Upon the plains of Bethlehem when watched the shepherds well. I place him at the table and I look In to his face, The while the village bells ring out their hymns of peace and grace; And Joe gives back the same old smile so full of love and joy, The smile that made me happy when he was a little boy. I read of Cbristmastides within the palaces of old. Where kings and princes merry make beneath a cloth of gold; But I would rather sit today within our little home, And bless the God who brought me Joe across the crested foam. T. C. Harbaugh.

Chrlstmts The Little Children. We love little children. They are the future. No period of life Is more full of interest than that of childhood. We watch the expanding mind of a fine boy as we do the unfolding of a flower. Childhood is the primrose sea son of life; and when we see a clus ter of little innocent urchins around the hearth, if our wishes, could be re alized all their after days should be those of sunshine and happiness. We like children and sympathize in all their little griefs and share in all their hilarious and boisterous merriment. In this season of festivity they should never be forgotten. Send them early to bed on Christmas eve.on good terms with themselves and all the rest of the world, and then fill their suspended stockings for the bounties of St. Nich olas with trinkets and toys, and give them good and useful articles of the season. Ob, the pleasures of these of fices! None but a parent ever did or ever can conceive them. Look at their bright and shining faces in the morn ing and read your reward in their as tonishment and gratitude. Parents, neglect not your little folks at this season of the year. You purchase a large amount of happiness at a trifling rost. Never be unmindful of your duty in this respect.

WESTERN CANADA PRAIRIES. wtara Welfare of the Coatlamt Uea la Their FortUo Melda. The rapid progress that is being made in the settlement of the fertile prairies of Western Canada Is leading to the investigation of its resources by those interested in having provision made for those living In the crowded east, for those who have been strug gling for years on impoverished farms, for the renter who is unable any longer to bear up under the strain imposed by the landlord, and for the farmer who, nnable to purchase farms for his sons In his own neighborhood, has to look around for lower priced lands. The Investigation shows that it Is impos sible to meet these conditions success fully outside of Western Canada. Al ready millions of bushels of wheat are being grown there each year, while as many as 50,000 head of cattle were shipped out this year.
