A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

In a dream I was transported into the world that lies beyond—the beautiful heaven opened to all mankind by the blessed Christ child.

That hell lies underneath heaven you have doubtless heard. Naturally the holy dead see and hear nothing of the pains of the lost, for that would entirely spoil the Joys of paradise for them, but now and then —1 believe once a year—it is given to the blessed to look down into hell. There is, however, one condition in particular attached to this privilege. When tAe dome which conceals hell from the sight of the angels is opened, it is for the relief of the condemned.

God in his mercy has decreed that the saints shall look down into the abyss in order to tell St. Peter if they see among the damned my one from whom they have received any benefit or of whom they have even heard any good. If the keeper of heaven's gate is pleased with the generous action which the lost soul performed while on earth, he has the power of shortening the time of punishment or can even pardon it altogether and bid it enter into paradise.

As for me, I arrived in paradise on a day when hell was open to view and came to know thereby many strange things.

It was granted to mo to look iiito the placeof torment, and the things I ki .v there were awful. Picture it to yourself as yota will! When 1 recovered from the horror that, fell upon me, 1 recognized many men and women whom I had known on earth.

Among the latter I noticed a woman whom 1 had known well on earth, and who deserved to be among the lost, I thought. I had never anticipated any other sentence for her. Although she had possessed more than was needed to gratify her own wants, she could never bo moved by the most touching appeals of the poorest to relieve their distress. "There is no chance of a voice being raised In her favor,'* I said to myself. Hut I was wrong, for at that moment a lovely angel child llew past me on its blue and white wings. Without any sign of fear it flow direct lo St. PeU-r, who looked formidable enough with his long beard and great keys, and pointing with its little forefinger to the hard hearted woman cried, "She once gftvo *ie a handful of nuts." "Really," answered the keeper of heaven, "that was not much, and yet I am surprised, for that woman would not part with so much as pin during her life. But you, little one, who were you on earth?" "Little llannclo was my name," answered the angel. "I died of starvation, and ouly onto did any one give me anything in my life to make me happy, and that was that woman yonder." "Marvelous," answered Peter, stroking his white beard. "No doubt the nuts were given as a miserly payment of some service you did her." "No, not" the angel answered decidedly. "Well, tell us how it happened, then," the apostle commanded, and the dear little aoul obeyed. "My siek mother aud I lived in the city all alone, for father was dead. Just before Christinas we had nothiug more to eat, so mother, though she lay in bed and her head ami hands were burning, made some little aheep of bits of wood and cotton, and I carried them to the Christmas market. There I sat on some steps and offered them for sale to the passersby, but nobody wanted them. Hours passed, ami it was very cold. The open wound in my knee, whirh no one *aw, pained me so, and the frost in my Angers ami tecs burned dreadfully. "Evening came, th« lamps were lighted, but I dared not go homo, for only one per•on had thrown a copper into my lap, and I ueeded more to buy a bit of bread and a few coals. My own {Kings hurt me, but that mother lay at home alonu with no one to hand her anything or support her when her breathing became ifllcu It hurt me i»tlll more. 1 could hardly bear to nit on Ihe cold steps any longvr, and my eyes were blind with tears, "A barrel was set down iu front of the house, and while a clerk was rolling it over the sidewalk into the shop the stream of passers was stopped. That woman there—1 remember her well—stood *tlll in front of me. I offered her one of my sheep and looked at her through my tears. She seemed «o hard aud stern that 1 thought. "She won't give me anything." But. *hedid. It seemed suddenly as if her face grew* softer and her vye» kinder. She glanced at me, and before I knew it she had put her hand iu the bag which she carried on her arm and thrown the nuts Into my lap. "The cask had been rolled into the shop fey this time, aud the throng of people carried her along. She tried to stop. It was not nusy, and she only did it to toss me a Mcond, third and fourth handful of the most beautiful walnuts. I can still see it all, as if it wrre today) Then she felt in her pocket, probably to get some money for uk\ but the press of people was too strong for her to stand against it longer. I doubt if she heanl that I thanked her."

Here the angel broke off and threw a kiss the condemned woman, and St. Peter a*kcd her how it happened that she, who bad been so deaf to ail appeals from the poor, had been so generous to the child.

The tormented woman answered amid

bought, I felt hupp,v. a day, and I would certainly Uttvc ^i\\ hu some money, though only a Htilc."

But Peter interrupted her. He had heard enough, and as he knew that it was impossible for any oue in heaven or hell to tell an antruth, be nodded to her, saying: "That was, beyond dispute, a good deed, but it is too small to counterbalance the great weight of your fifcl deeds." Perhaps it may lighten your punishment. Still, great riches were meted out to you on earth, and what were a few nuts to youl The motive that urged you to bestow them is pleasing in the sight of the Lord, I acknowledge, but, as I said before, your charity was too paltry for you to be released from your pains because of it."

He turned to go, but a clear voice of wonderful sweetness held him back. It was that of the Saviour, who advanced with majestic dignity toward the apostle and spoke: "Let us first hear if the alms1 giving of which we have just learned was really too small to plead for leniency toward this sinning soul. Let us hear"—turning to the angel—"what became of the nuts." "Oh, dear Saviour,""answered the angel,

MI

ate half of them, and I was grateful to you, for I felt that I owed them to your bounty, as they were my 'little Christ shild,' as the people in the city where we lived called a Christmas present." "You see, Peter,' the Saviour interrupted the angel. "Do we not owe it to the nuts of that woman that a pure child's soul was led to us? That in itself is no small thing. Tell what further happened to you." "I ate most of them," the little girl answered, "but I had still more to eat by Christmas eve, for the people who had looked at me when the woman threw something into my lap were interested in my suffering, an'1 soon I had sold all six Bheep, and besides many pennies and groschenone big thaler had flown into my lap. With these I was able to buy mother many things that she stood in sore need of, and though she died on New Year's morning she had many little comforts during her last days."

The Anointed cast another look full of meaning at Peter, when a large and beautiful angel, the spirit of the mother of the cherub began: "If you will permit me, O holy Jesus, I, too, would like to say a word in favor of the condemned. Before Hannele came home with the nuts I lay in bed, without hope or help in my great suffering. I had'lost all faith, for my prayers had not been heard, ahd in the bitterness of my heart it seemed that you, who were said to be the friend of the poor ou earth, and God the Father, had forgotten us in our misery in order to overwhelm the rich with greater gifts. "But when Harinele came home and lighted the little lamp, arid I saw her tiny face, where for a long time I had seen no smile, but only pain and grief, now beaming with joy when I saw the nuts and the other good things which she had brought and saw her pleasure in them, my belief in thee, O Lord, and in the kind Father returned, and I ceased not to be grateful to the end. If now, in the glory of thy magnificence, I know bliss unutterable, I owe it to that woman and to the fact that she was good enough to throw the nuts into Hauhele's apron."

Peter nodded affirmatively. Then he bowed before the Saviour and said: "The little gift of the condemned soul has indeed borne better fruit than I imagined. Yet when I tell you what agreat sinner she was on earth" "I know," the Son of God interrupted. "Before we decide upon the fate of this woman, let us hear what the child did with the rest of the nuts, for we know that she did not eat them all. Now, my little angel, what became of the last of them? Speak on. Gladly will I listen to you."

Hannele began anew: "After they had buried mother, they sent me into the country among the mountains, for they said it was not the duty of the city to care for me, but that of the village parish where my parents were born. So I was taken there. The six nuts that I had saved I took with me to play with. This I most eujoyed doing in the spring, alone on the little strip of grass behind- the poorliouse, in which I was the only child. Besides me there were but three old women, 'being fed to death,' as the peasants used to say. "Not one of them noticed anything that happened around them, but my heart used to grow light when everything about me budded and sprouted and burst iuto bloom. My body was always aching, but my pains could not lessen my eujovment of the spring. Wherever I looked men were sowing and plantiug. It %vas the first time that I hud ever seen it, and the wish came over me to confide something to the good earth that, would take root and sprout and grow green and high for me. "So I stuck four of my nuts iuto the ground. 1 put them as far apart in the small space as I could, so that if big trees came from my seeds they might not stand in one another's way, but might all enjoy the air and the sunshine that I was so thaukful for. I saw my seed sprout, but what became of them afterward I did not live to see. Two years after I sowed them a famine fell upon us. The poor weavers, who lived iu the mountain village, had all they could do to nourish wife and child. There was little left for the poorhouse. As I was already ill, I could not stand the misery, and I was the first to die of the dreadfqJLfever caused by hunger. ^*Only one of the blind women and the dull witted oue followed the sack in which I was buried—for who would have paid for a coffin? The last two nuts I divided with the old women. Each one of us had a half, aud how gladly we ate the little morsel, for even a taste of any dainty seemed good to us after we had lived on nothing but bread and potatoes. From here 1 watched the other nuts grow to be trees. All four had straight stems and thick crowns. Under one of them that stood near a spring, which is now called the Fresh spring, an old carpenter who came to the poorhouse built a bench."

Here another angel interrupted the little narrator with the question, "Do you mean the uut tree in Dorbstadtf" and receiving an answer in the affirmative he cried: "I, Master, I am that old carpenter, and during my last summers I had no greater pleasure than to sit by th« Fresh spring under the nut tree, and while smoked my pipe to think of my old wife, wiiom I was soon to find again with you. Id the autumn, too, many a dry brown leaf found its way among the more expensive tobacco ones. But the aut trees were cut down many years ago."

quitted lite earth because I,

too, fell victim to the pestilence of which many of the poor people were dying and against which I fought with all my small powers, but with small success. I can tell you all that you wish to know, My master, for durine 45 years I devoted my humble services to the sick poor there. What Hannele died in our poorhouse—it happened before my time—the misery was even greater than at present. The weavers were ground down by the large manufacturers until an energetic man built a factory in our village and paid them better wages. "As the population then increased, and consequently the number of patients, space was wanting in which to house them, for the dilapidated poorhouse—whither they were carried—was no longer large enough to accommodate them alL Therefore the parish, aided by the owner of the factory, built a hospital for the whole district, and the site.of the old poorhouse was chosen for it. The beautiful nut trees which Hannele had planted had to be destroyed. I was sorry to be obliged to give the order, but we needed the ground where they stood. As we had to be economical in everything, big and little, we had planks sawed out of the trees for our use." "I owe it a debt of gratitude too, but for an entirely different service," said a beautiful angel as it bowed its crowned head reverently before the Son of God. "My lot below was a very hard one. I was early left a widow, and I supported my children entirely by the work of my hands. By dint of great effort I brought them up well, and my three sons grew to be brave men who took care of themselves and helped their mother. But all three, my Master, were lost to me, taken away by the unfathomable wisdom of the Father. Two fell in war the third was killed IF^ the machinery while at his work. That broke my strength, and when they brought me to the hospital I was on the verge of dispair, and life seemed a greater burden than I could bear. "Your image, my Saviour, had just been finished by a sculptor who had carved it from the wood of the nut tree by the Fresh spring. They put it opposite to my bed. It represented you, my Lord, on the cross, and your head bowed in agony, with its crown of thorns, was a sorrowful sight. Yet I paid but small heed to it. One morning, however—it was the anniversary of the death of my two dear sons, who had lost their lives fighting bravely side by side for their fatherland—oa that morning the sun fell upon your sad face and bleeding hands pierced by the nails, and then I reflected how bitterly you had suffered, though innocent, that you might redeem us, and how your mother must have felt to lose such a child. "Then a voice asked me if I had any right to complain when the Son of God himself had willingly endured such torments for our sake, and I felt compelled to answer no and determined then to bear patiently whatever might be laid upon me, a poor, sinful woman. Thenceforth, my Lord, was your image my consolation, aud since the wood of which it was made came from the tree planted by Hanuele near the Fresh spring I owe beyond doubt the better years that followed and the joy of being with you in paradise, my Saviour, to the nuts which that condemned woman gave to the child."

Humbly she bowed her head again. The Son of God turned to St. Peter, saying, "Well, Peter*"

Tho latter called to the guardians of hell: "Let her go free the gates of heaven are open to her. How rich and manifold, O LordI is the fruit that springs from the smallest gift offered in true love!" "You are right," answered the Savioui gently and turned away.—George Ebers in Romance.

Christmas In a Pullman Car. In a through Pullman from Denver to St. Louis were a number of ladies and getitle men but, best of all, a widow and a pretty little daughter. I half wondered what tho pretty little girl was to have for Christmas, seeing that no chimney led down from the roof, but my speculations were rather vague, aud I forgot the little girl to think of my own dear relatives. Christmas eve when tho berths were let down and the passengers began to retire J, came in to look after my own. As I strolled down the aisle I saw a tiny little stocking hanging outside the berth where the little girl lay "with her mother. I tell you the effect was electrical. It brought up all kinds of strange feelings, aud I added my share to the general contribution.

Old Santa Claus must have been en route to St. Louis that night, for the way lie stuffed and jammed that stocking full of fruit, candy, money, trinkets and the like, and then filled handkerchiefs until they were great round balls and tied them on, was simply wonderful. It did seem as though Santa Claus had no one else in the world to take care of. Next morning I enjoyed watching the widow and the little one. They were the especial pets of the occasion, and every one came round and said somethiug kind to the child. But the effect on the passengers generally was the best of all. It brought them together, and every one said merry Christmas and wished everybody else all kinds of good luck, until we were all wel 1 acquainted and thoroughly sociable. I tell you it takes little children to bind human hearts together and make the world oue genial, happy family.—St. Louis lobe-DemocraU

Christmas Charity.

"Good will toward men" is the all per vading sentiment of Christmastide. It is the time to bury unkind thoughts and petty Jealousies. It is the season for loving deeds and kind remembrances, a day of general amnesty, a time to forgive and forget, and with a mantle of Christiike charity to cover the foibles and frailties of our fellows.

The sentiment of common brotherhood should predominate. It is a sentiment that does not lessen the tender ties of kinship, bat broadens and ennobles its possessor. The man who confines his Christmas charities to his own family circle misses the purest and holiest pleasures of the day.

The custom of giving Christmas presents is said to have originated in the oriental practice of bearing gifts on all pilgrimages and visits. Thus the wise men of the east laid gifts at the feet of the infant Christ With us the custom has, or should have, a higher and nobler significance.

The act of charity or the testimonial of friendship and esteem should be entirely spontaneous. To bestow gifts with the hope of return or reward, or to propitiate friendship or interest, is to masquerade selfishness tn the guise of generosity.

Tit* oriental idea of charity was reciprocal,? xchange benefits for favors expected. Christ inaugurated a nobler system, the principle of hmth^rty love -r '"Peace on earth, £.•. 1 .* atd men.*V^

THE NIGHT AFTER.

liip®®

HE voioe blf one" crying, not in the wilderness, but in the nursery, is the sound that greets the startled ears of the mother the

night after Christmas, and generally it is a noise that may well startle the ears of a mother. It is next to impossible to prevent children from eating things on that day that "prove too much for the tender little stomachs. Loving aunts, indulgent grandmothers, heedless fathers and often ignorant mothers let the little ones, even the baby, have things that no child or grown person should eat. They say, "Oh, a little won't hurt him," but yrtien nearly every one in the household has acted on the same principle the children have filled themselves with indigestible stuff little better than poison.

Christmas is a day wherein nearly everybody gets more than is good for him, and the food considered suitable for that day is of the richest and most complicated and indigestible kind. Grown people find a Christmas day's feasting a serious matter. How then can we expect a little child to live through it? A physician of note once said more children die of overeating than of starvation.

The most dreaded and dangerous form of illness resulting from overeating is the convulsion. The child may or' may not show signs of the coming illness. Its cheeks may be very red, its lips white and pinched, and the«child cross and nervous. It may goto sleep, but it will often cry odt in sleep and move about restlessly. The muscles often twitch and the eyes frequently turn upward, but all these symptoms may be present and yet the child will not have a convulsion. Still they give sufficient cause for alarm to demand a good dose of sirup, of rhubarb, or of magnesia, or a wineglassful of Hunyadi mineral, water, which I have used with good success with children.

Where there are symptoms like those mentioned above, one has a warning and can combat the danger, but only too often there is no sign of coming sickness until the mother hears that one strange croaking cry, and then it is often too late, and In any case requires the most active and heroic treatment to sa^e the little sufferer, who lies rigid and without consciousness. The eyes are then turned upward, having only the whites visible, the little teeth are set tightly and the lips drawn back. After awhile the convulsions b€gin, and the poor little muscles strain, and the child writhes and twists, but is all the while unconscious. Sometimes bloody froth appears in the mouth, the breath comes irregularly and often seems to stop altogether—and sometimes does.

There is something so unearthly in that one terrible cry that precedes a convulsion that no mother ever heard it without trembling. In an instant the doctor is sent for, and women fly for remedies. The first thing is to get tAe little sufferer into a hot bath up to the chin, the water to be as hot as the mother's Wrist can bear. It is easy to say from 90 to 100 degrees of heat, but few have a thermometer at hand, so the mother's wrist must- be the guide in emergencies.

The child should remain in the water 10 to 15 minutes, a little longer if the convulsions do not relax somewhat. Then it should be taken from the water and laid in a warmed shawl or woolen blanket, without stopping to dry or dress the little one, aud as soOn as it can swallow give it an emetic of warm mustard or salt and water (a teaspoonful of either is enough), mixed with a cup of warm water. Sirup of ipecac is better still, if at hand, and can be given in teaspoonful doses every 10 minutes until the little stomach is freed from the cause of irritation. As soon as the child has vomited freely the convulsions generally oease, but some nervous children are apt to have several in succession.

As soon as the vomiting has ceased, a dose of castor oil, rhubarb or magnesia should be given, the oil preferably, as it heals and calms the irritation and carries off the matter which has caused all the danger and trouble. Some physicians employ ether and chloroform to quiet the convulsions, but all doctors agree that nothing can be done for a child in convulsions from the Christmas feast but to rid it as quickly as possible of the cause of its trouble, and the hot bath and emetic are the first remedies and can be administered safely while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. None but physicians should administer ether.

The wise mother will take care to include among her Christmas purchases an ounce of sirup of ipecac, two ounces of spiced sirup of rhubarb and two ounces of castor oiL When she goes to bed at night, after the great day has passed, she will have seen that there is a plentiful supply of hot water, 'and that the mustard and salt are handy, Hid lastly she will visit each happy if onoomfortable little sleeper and see how he grebe looks and note whether the sleep is restless and the child flushed. Then she may go to bed and sleep with one eye open and both earsandall her senses on the alert. A few such precautions would prevent many an early death, and a little more firmness In not allowing children to eat too much sweets and rich food would avoid these dangers. Kathsbixk Lobjd.

Blackburn's Gallantry.

Senator Blackburn is known as a representative of southern chivalry, and he is entitled to the distinction. He was a prominent figure at a reception or fashionAble "tea" in a house of a Kentucky host and hostess. There was present a young Bouthern debutante. She was new to Washington. As the senator passed her a cap, a sort of dowMer duchess, distinguished for her large figure and intrusive manners, pressed forward toward the senator. The little southern girL let the cup fall. Smash it went, and the contents spattered over the dowager's best gown. Before the latter could utter a word the senator said: "That's my fault. I'm too clumsy to wait on ladies. Madam," to the dowager, "I am ready to suffer any penalty you see fit to impose upon me." Subsequently Blackburn felt his arm gently squeezed. It was the timid southern beauty, and she said: "Oh, Mr. Blackburn, you're the nicest man in the world. I'd have just fainted if you hadn't said yon dropped that cup." "Well, didn't I?" queried the senator. "You know you did not," with a grateful look. "Well, it's all the same," retorted the gallant senator.— Exchange.

The Christmas Box.

The origin of the term "Christmas box" as applied to donations of Christmas spending money is uncertain, though antiquarians generally seem to think that it was derived from the custom of placing money for masses to be said or sung on Christmas day—therefore "Christ masses"—in a box, which from this use was called a Christ mass box, a term gradually corrupted to Christmas box and finally applied to all money given as a Christmas gratuity.

A Timely Bit of Advlcei

In these times of grip' and pneumonia it is of great importance that we should know where to look for a safe and sure remedy. A slight cold may become a serious one, the noarcely noticeable pain in the chest is too often the forerunner of pneumonia. The first cough may lead to consumption (a cough is always dangerous). Never neglect a cold or cough for even one day, but get at once, as a safe and sure remedy, Kemp's Balsam, the best oough cure, which is recommended on all sides. It should be kept in the house regularly to avoid deJay when needed. It is sold at all the ri rug stores.
