Vor the HundMy Sentinel. A 1II.RKY CHRISTMA. BY 1! HLUI A. KAJ1AOK. There is hard ly a home ho bare and cam- ' fortless that something of the blessed Christ mas time will not tnter if it is not driven . away bv nerlect and anger. There is hardly a heart so cold and friendless that somewhat of the rrecfcra pirit of the Master will not : abide in it r nd wirm it with its genial glow. if the door be opened to welcome its coming. But there are those who feel the stings of . poverty, who most economize as never be lore, and to them there will be nadncss min - rled with the gladness of the holidsy season. for they ran not lavishly bestow splendid rifta upon their krved one. There are many homes where economy and ingenuity most be exercised to render the time as agreeable as ever to the inmate. But there are so many articles that the swift, deft fingers of " women can make -with but little ex- . Knse that there will be scarcely an - excuse for tfeera to be remiss in the pleasant - remembrances cf the time, and we can lmag. ine that somebody will be obliged for a few 4 timely hints, even if to many they are mere - repetitions. Scraps of silk, worsted, perfo- - rated al plain card board, bright pictures. . zephyr. beads, autumn leaves, pressed ferns, and almost everything possible to handle, can be ised ia some way to make a pretty, ornamental, or oseful present for friend or ' loved one. It is always most difficult to fix , pifts fcr gentlemen, unless you have at your . command vaned resources, and yet even these fastidious mortals can be pleased. We t do not refer in any instance to presents re- - quiring any : coneideraDie time or money to ' make, but to those devisoa ana cxecutea oy ingenuity and the artistic sense of appropri ateness. Kmokinc iackets of dark blue or erav merino or cashmere, nicely wadded. quilted ' and ' lined, are thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable, and will be appredated by brother, father or friend. The material need not .be expensive, warm, sott colors and pretty eontraatintr facings being the most important items. If you give a pair of slippers to a centleman. always pay i of the expense. I must use italics to be forcible enough. If possible, have them exJ act fits, made by your friend's shoemaker, ' and when you offer them have them positive gifts no bills tobe settled afterward to mar Vie pleasure of the time. Hut a word of advice: Do not let your friendship for any one force father or brother to pay unpleas ant bills. He proud euougti to be too honor able to give presents that you can not aß'urd. If you are "handy" with your crochet nee dle, a scarf is sea-onaide and durable. Dark brown and cardinal red tephyr, or gray and Boft bine are pretty combinalions, and - if finished with the .' bright stripe of the Roman sashes will be very effective. Tho handsomest have , innge-ol the principal tints ol the zephyr. Wnstleta can be made in the same way either plain or in variegated colors. Many persona, for the sake of the extra warmth, line them with canton nanneis; others pre fer the single thickneas of the crochet work These are nice for ladies also, especially those who have cold hands and wrists, and I who are forced to be out much in the cold In fact, the lit cf croch-ted articles is al most inexhaustible, and fashion books and notion rtoree will suggest the patterns. If yo -can embroider handsomely, a half dozen white neckties will be a nice present, especi- . ally if the gentleman enjoys evening amusement A fashionable bow is made of tJieer white, with a spray -or flower in each corner, cnioroiaereo: in wiute siik nooa. Fine tinn handkerchiefs, with monogram or wreathed initial embroidered in the . . , corner, wui snow gooa taste as well as nice . , handiwork. And when these are neatly folded in a handsome box, they are bnly maie the more attractive. And a hint now as to these same handker chief boxes. ( If you buy them they will be tolerably costly, at least for pretty ones, but : you can make them cheap, tret an ordinary bor Ol pasteboarrt of the site you want, be ' ing careful that the wdes are clean. In the center 01 me outside ot the top paste a bright, pretty picture, a bunch of autumn leaves, a spray of delicate flowers, or a sweet lace -of a girl, but never anything coarse or ottensive. Then frame thüj in an edge of neutral tinted, heavy paper, will the cxtrence marvin ei gilt une the box with tisj, pot a bottom of thin wadded silk. quilted.

Tbet are articles for which your work baket will furnish the materials," but when you begin in the list needing your purse you will have plenty of gifts to eelect from. Shall I give a few.eai h one of which is always coimne ( favt in good society? A gold pen or iencil for a gentleman w ho rites much, a han-isome inkstand or xrtfolio, orone of Mark Twain's new scrap books for the "saving." Dooks. ranging from the modest paper covered editions of Dickens and the many volumod Harpers' library, to the superbly Dore y lust rated poems and tiavels, are ready for you to choose from, And nothing i needed but a fine appreciation of the tastes of the receiver and of the state of your pocket book. A stereoscope and pictures, beautiful photographic views, a erfectly tinted chromo are. each and all nuitable. "Or if you prefer gifts of silver and gold, the jewelry stores are glibtening with beauty. Caff buttons, studs, scarf pine, watch chains, seal rings are abundant and vary as much in price as in loveliness; but I imagine a lady would not consider a present of this kind appropriate only to a relative or to her betrothed, but opinions differ. For Christmas gifts for ladies and young girls there are many articles which are both pretty and useful, and mothers, sisters and friends will add much to the value of their presents by considering the utility of such things. Work basket, je'welry cases, pin cushions, toilet mats can be made so easily and cheaply that they are neither a tax upon time nor money. Card board cut in shape, covered with bright silk or worsted, forming a basket, edged with ruches of ribbon, and having tiny ocketa for trinkets and needles, will be serviceable and nice for an industrious friend, and would be treasured by a öchool püH earning the art of making button holes ''and plain sewing. A novel jewelry case, or "catch all," can be made by cutting three pieces of card board similar in shape to the quarters of an orange, covering them inside and out with silk or scraps of any bright goods, leaving them plain or embroidered, at your pleasure. Close all but one warn, fatten the bottom with a small, flat button, and suspend by cordd, owning the case by pressing on the top. A pin cushion of pink or blue silk made in square form with a heavy head fringe, has resting on it a tlipper of white satin, entirely covered with tiny glass beads, making a nice jewelry case. This made entirely of white silk or satin is such a nice bridal present. Would not "a Cinderilla pin cushjoji" be a good name for thif A young lady whose friend has a toilet set of delicate pink is making as a gift a set of toilet mats of No. 6, white "tidy" cotton, crocheted in afghan stitch with an incii deep border of pink zephyr, matching exactly the toilet articles. To complete this is a watcli pocket in hlippt r shape of pink patin embroidered in beads, and a pin cushion the same material similarly ornamented. Glove and handkerchief boxes made of perforaUxl card board and wlk are nice, and inexpensive. Work boxes for holding bits of embroidery or fancy work, are made of small boxes which can be got at any dry goods store, ornamented in any way that will please your fancy. Wail pockets of ca-d board, trimmed with spatter work, or pressed ferns or autumn leaves, are very pretty and are as useful as anything can possibly be. Terhaps I have a mania for nice boxes, and that is the reason why I encourage their manufacture, but unless you have done without them a while vou can ot appreciate them. LadieK will like scarfs, tiny shoulder shawls, coquettish hoods, wristlets, glovee, anything and everything that you can make with a crochet needle, zephyr or cotton. If you are very intiinat neckties, gloves, handkerchiefs, would be suitable for gifts, but I would prefer from any but members of my own family books pictures, music or something of that kind. But above all be discriminating in your remembrances. Try to ascertain what will

give the most plcasure what is most craved, and thti, so far as it is possible, satisfy the longing, iou will know what to choose out of the stores, for the supply of articles is almost unlimited, and you will need to be careful in order to make your allowances cover your desires. Let me add one word of advice: With all your good, practical.useful gifts, now and then add something dainty and bright. Because mother or aunty is always at the sewing machine or mending basket, do not infer that she can not relish a cheery picture or a pleasant book or a pot of a i . i . uowrrs tu imooiu, or uecause inena or sisier is an economical housewife, that she will not enjoy a bouquet of brilliant autumn leaves or a bunch of lovely pressed ferns', hhe win nice ttiem me more because they raise her from the dull routine of ordinary life But, girls and boys, little rnd big, above all thing, no matter who e!.e goes without. sec to it that father and mother have their Christmas presents. The day will come when the lond hearts will be still, the wrinkled faces cold, the thin aed hands quiet, and the dear old people w ill be lat nst. Then and never till then will vou 1 1 l I 1 9 learn w nai tneir love lias been lor you, 1 ervhanoe labor and age have made them more quiet and lew ardent than vou. They are a little "old faxhioned,".but they are the ones that uever fail you: theirs the breasts where the aching beads and achin? hearts of children may rest. ,ow ior tne "wee ones '. hat shall vou get for them? Toys? les, by all means, if you can. Not foolishly, but with some re gard for childish pleasure and nature. I re member a lather whose little daughter of tour years wanted fanta riaus to brim; her a doll. She pictured in her baby language the very costume it must wear, the colorof its eyes, the length of its body, and finally proceeded to christen the yet unpossessed trvasure by the name of "Rone." Iitr mother peiid to buy the little china and cloth "baby," but the lather was practical, and Christmas morning he did away once and forever with the illusions and pleasures of the child by handing her a "good solid little saving bank," puttiftg into it, before the child, a silver half dollar, that she could not get out, and giving her her hrst lesson I think in nard Jiearuoness. tiioush he called it riliIi'T!ii " ll:iv rtnlla f..r ia irlu dvssed in clothes that they can take oil" and wuih; a calico wrapper is worth a dozen pint tarlatans. Then tea and dinner sets of chica or wood, little kitchen articles of iron and furniture of plain or oraamental finish, are Lice for them. I saw some years ago complete seta of household goods for these miniature women ma le of iron, and I liked theru very much: they were beautiful! v painted aui many of them really elegant For the boys, anything but shootincrackcrs I abominate that invention of the "Leathtn Chinee" drums, swords, Eiarbles, Ups, balls, games, books, puzzles. iheywill enjoy each or any of them, but hatever you give suit the gift to the age and favorite pursuits of the boy, and if you are in doubt Us "chum" will give you some inklings, uut boys like books better than yon imagine, perhaps, and if they are large enougti to appreciate them, let a few vol umes of travel and adventure form part of your list. Cultivate your boy's fondness for manly sports: for home reading these winter evenings: for fun. if it is innocent. Invite some of his friends one of the holiday nights to come and see him and have somo games and music, and let him be free to oÄ r them apples or cakes, nuts, candy and orangey, if yÜU can tlTurd three.

Christmas evo or niirht have a tree, if you

possibly can. You can make beautiful or naments with litte bits of wire cov ered witn yarn, dipped in a Mrong so lution of alum and hu'.g from the boughs. Festoons of the white, feartiery popcorn will add to the tree, and can be made by the little folks themselves by string ing the popped corn on strong thread. Care fully save the eesrshells from cake and piemakine and pastinc bits of nit paper around the edge of the jerfect half; you can, by gilt bands or ribbon cords, hang them iroru tne tips of the branches. An artificial fiowcr or a little candy will be nice in each. Some ladies crochet little bags of zephyr and put the eggshells in them, then they make pretty ornaments to hang from chandeliers or window curtains after they have served for the tree. Kaisin stems dipped in sealingwax dyed deep with cochineal imitate coral nicely, while fresh geraneum or rose leaves put into alum water represent frost work If around the base of vour tree you make a miniature landscape you will interest the children. On the !oard or table put rocks to represent mountains, little branches of ce dar or painters' pine for trees, Hohensand moss to hide bare, ugly Fpots, and sand and gravel for walks and tue margin of our lake. This you can make with a bit of looking-glass, or betterstill a pan of water nicely edged with gravel and moss. A rustic bridge, a log cabin or card board house, some tiny figures and toy cattle will complete a pleasant pic ture for the children. Make little stockings of mosquito bar or coarse tarlatan, fill with candy and hang here and there among the branches, and you will then be ready for the larger presents. You have everything fixed for your loved ones, from grandfather to the baby, for friends near and far, but there are sonic who will have no "merry Christmas, unless you, busy as I know vou are, remember them. The last winter's dresses that the girls have outgrown will make nice ones for the poor shivering children in the hovel. But just as you would not give an incomplete present to any one else, fix them before you send them over. The jacket and overcoat and half worn pants that the bo5s have discarded will gladden the freezing little fellows who have no lather. Your shawl or cloak will be thankfully received by your washer woman or the poor widow who can scarcely get food for her children, ever warm clothing for herself. Those blankets or quilts, unused and getting shabby, will make comfortable the poor rheumatic in valid and keep away the cold and pain that nave banibhesi sleep. io matter how small or humble the gift, it will cheer and gladden some poor soul, and it "will have its re ward' Let there be a stir and bustle. binU and signs of a "good time coming" in your home, all the days from now till Christinas. I pity you if there are no children to live on the mysterioas sounds and sights of these homes. No matter how fortune has dealt with you this year: no matter how cross and morose you may feel; no matter how "many moods" of unkindness you mav want to indulge in. becheerful.be generous, be loving, be tender at Christmas time, if only for His sake who was given because "Gxl so loved the world.

"Have the goodness to mark the elect with a piece of chalk, so that I may know them. and I will preach to them." The request was not insisted on. It is folly to pretend that one ever wholly recovers froiM a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. There are faces I can never look upon without emotion; there are names I can never hear spoken without almost starting. lxngtellow. Dr. Cuyler writes to the CongTtgationalist to proiote "that no church building should ever be undertaken until the whole sum required to complete it is subscribed. If the building is to be only partly constructed, let the sum required for that part be guaran teed lie also protests that it is not to be regarded "as the province or the duty of Christian churches to engineer and tow along quite all the benevolent and philan thropic enterprises m the community. J tors ought not to be overloaded, nor tne time, thought and money of the church de manded for them. There is a terrible dan ger that the church militant will soon be come the church mendicant." The Golden Rule says: "Men are not monsters; earth is not hell, and tlie full manifestation of the logical and ultimate results of sin upon character is not beheld here. The human soul is like an instru meat of music jangled and out of tune. It needs retuning; it needs the Master's hand and the Master's touch. The strings are not torn from the frame; the keys are not dis placed; they are not loosened; tlie discord comes from their temporary condition. A fall, a jar, a wrench has wrought confusion Set them in order; bring them up to the line of the correct note; then sweep them. and what melody, what power, what liquid sweetness of Bound will come out of them. The celebrated paLnter, Benjamin Robert Havnon, gave the following admirable ad vice to his son at a very critical time of life "You are quite right to read history; make yourself master of the history of Greece and Rome. The English ieople are in many respects not unlike the Athenians without their art, and like the Romans without their profligacy. Read vour Bible daily. There is no more interesting book in the world and it Is becoming more necessary to read and study it, because I already perceive a tendency among our scientific men, in all their pride of knowledge and what they call discovery, to set the Bible aside as an oriental legend. Do not believe them. The Mosaic account of the creation is the most simple and the most natural. and will be found, you may rely on it, con firmed by science when science has got down to real facts. Generalization, founded on our present knowledge of the laws of nature, is the very thing which our present acJuaintance with those laws does not justify, am convinced that x.0 thoroughly estab lished and settled theory will be found to contradict the truths revealed in the Bible. But j'ou are too young yet for me to enter further on the subject. I only tell you of it to put you on your guard. You will find raany men, old and grown up men, who will laugh fit the Bible. Don't believe thern. Mathematics are all very well ; but the differential calclus, my dear boy, can never prove or disprove' the existeuce of God. Bead yonr Bible, do jour.duty and leave tho rest toood.

A free Spanish university has been opened in Madrid, under the name of free institu tion of education. It has over eighty students, eight or nine of whom are ladies. The institution is reared on a small founda tion, only 1,000 guineas having yet been sub scribed. Manv of the shareholders are Knglishmen, amor them being Professor lyndall. The professors are men of high standing, and it is hoped that the school will enjoy an abundant prsperity. Friedrich Ritsehl, professor of philology in the university of Leipsig, died early last month, at the age of 0. lie was one of the very foremost classical scholars and teachers in Germany. Though especially distin guished in the department of the older Latimty and the dramatic writers one o his principal literary works being an edition of Plactus, with notes and commentaries he was at home in the whole range of Greek and Roman classical learning.

The children are not generally in a state of mind to receive instruction from it. Its meaning can not be explained where its style is archaic or the sense obscure beyond the comprehension of children, fctill some thing valuable may be gained by the children through familiarity with the gospels, and some influences even from a perlunctory . formal treatment of this school exercise may pais over into the child's future li e. If any of the inhabitants of a. school district should object to this for conscience's sate, I would gran t every i nd ulgence conslsten t w i th school order; for instance, would allow a lesson from some other books to be substituted in its place.
