A Happy New Year. ‘ Coming, coming, coming! Listen! perhaps you’ll hear Over the snow the bugles blow : To welcome the glad new year. In the steeple tongues are swinging, There are many sleigh-bells ringing, > And the_ people for joy are singing, It’s coming, coming near. Flying, sighing, dying, Going away to-night, Weary and old, its story told, The year that was full and bright, Oh, half we are sorry it’s ieaving; Good-by bas a scund of grieving; But its work is done and its weaving: God speed its parting flight! Tripping, slipping, skipping, ‘Like a child in its wooing grace, With never a tear and never a fear, And a light in the laughing face; With hands held out to greet us, With gay litt!e steps to meet us, With sweet eyes that entreat us, The new year comes to its place. Coming, coming, coming! Promising lovely things— The gold and gray of the summer day, The winter with fleecy wings; > Promising swift birds glancing, And the patter of rain-drops dancing, And the sunbeams’ arrowy lancing, Dear gifts the new year brings Coming, coming, coming! The world is a viston white; From the powdered eaves to the serebrown leaves, j . That are hidden out of sight. In the steeple toncues are swinging, ‘ The bells are merrily ringing, ‘ And «Happy New Year” we're singing, | For. the old year goes to-night s-Harper’s Young People. ‘ 21 BABY DEB'S GOOSE, l

aI—IRI‘STMAS is just ~as much Christmas - at the Boon Island ; light-house as it is sanywhere else in yworld. S And why not? > 486" Wother and a father; and if they cannot make a , Christmas, then nobody can. " Why, Baby Deb

alone is material enough of which to make a Christmas, and a very rollicking, jolly sort of Christmas, too; but - when to her jou add Tom and Sue and Sally and Ike and Sam—well, . the grim, old light-house fairly overfiows with Christmas every 25th of December. Ah, then, if you suppose that that ednning old gentleman, Santa Claus, does not know how to find a chimney, even when the cold waves. are pelting it with frozen spray-drops ten miies {rom land, you little know what a remarkable gift he has in that way! And the Christmas dinners they have there! The goose—the brown, .crisp, Jjuicy, melting roast goose! ‘What would that dinner be without that goose? What, indeed! Lut once—they turn pale at that lighthouse now when they think of it —once they came very near having no goose for Christmas. 1t came about in this way: Papa—ah, if you could only hear Baby De¢b tell about it! Bt would be worth the journey. But you cannct, of course, so never mind. Papa Stoughton—the lighthouse-keeper, you know—had lost all his money in a savings bank that had failed early in that December. A goose is really not an expensive fowl; but if one has not the money, of. course one ca..ot buy even a cheap thing. Papa Stoughton could” not afford a goose. He said so—said so before all the family. Ike says that the silence that fell upon that family then was painful to hear. They looked one at another with eyes 8o wide open that it's a mercy they ever could shut them again. | “No goose!” at last cried Tom, who was the oldest. ~ “No goose!” cried the others in chorus. All except Baby Deb, who was busy at the time gently admonishing Sculpin, her most troublesome child, for being so dirty. Baby Deb said “No doose!” after all the others were quiet. That made them . all laugh, However, when Papa Stoughton explained how it was, they saw it as plainly as he did, and so they made no complaint. Only Tom fell n-thinking, and when_the others saw ‘what he was doing they did the same; ~he differcncé being that Tom was trying to think what could be done to get the goose anyhow, and they were trying to think what he was thinking about, so that they could think the same. All except Baby Deb, of course; who being only four years old, gave herself very little concern about the thoughts of others. Her own thoughts tock all of her time. : ‘

“We must have a goose,” said Tom. “Oh!” gasped his audience, moved It)iy mingled amazement and admiraon. ‘ Tom looked at them with great irmness and dignity. “Ever since I was born,” he went on, “we have had a roast goose for Christmas.” A Ever.since he was born! It might have been a hundred years before, from Tom'’s tone and manner, and the | audience was tremendously impressed. “And,” continued the orator, “we must have one now. We will have one now.” They almost stopped breathing. “I have a plan.” 'They shuddered l and drew nearer. “We all must con- | tribute!” : “Oh!” in chorus. “Do you want goose, Sue?” “Yes, indeed.” “You, Sal?” “lfes. » Tke?” “Do’I? Welll® “Sam?” “¥eq mir” “Me, too,” sald Baby Deb, with great earnestness; for it was clear to her that it was a question of eating, and she did not wish to be left out. “Os course, you, too, you daisy dumpling,” said Tom. “Now, then,” |he continued, when order was re‘stored, “what shall. we contribute? I'll give my new sail-boat. That ought to bring 50 cents.” “I'll give my shells,” said Sue, heroically. “My sca-mosses,” sighed Sally. “You may take my shark’s teeth,” said Ike. “And my whale’s tooth,” said Sam. The sacrifice was general; the lighthouse would yield up its treasures. “All right,” said Tom. “Now let's tell father.” And father was told, and for some reason he pretended to look out of the window very suddenly—but he 3 R R2ry hard, and said: “Bless their hearts!” “And what does Baby Deb contribute?” said Papa Stoughton, byway of a little joke. “I dess I's not dot nuffin,” was | Baby Deb's reply, when the matter | was explained to her, “’cept 'ob tate | Stulpin.” Oh, what a laugh there was then! For if ever there was a maimed and | demoralized doll, it was Sculpin. But t Baby Deb was hugged and kissed as | 1f she had contributed a lump of goid ] instead of a little bundle of rags. y Papa Stoughton and Tom were to go out to the main-land the first clear | day to buy the goose; but—alas!—a | storm came on, aud they were forced | to wait for it to godown. It did not | go down; it grew worse. The wind | shricked and moaned and wrestled | with the lonely tower, and the waves | hurled themselves furiously av i(, and | washed over and over the island, and t no boat could have lived a moment | in such weather. | If a goose be only a goose, no mat- | ter; but if it be a Christmas dinner! 1 —Ah, then! | Yes, they had good reason to feel | dismal in the light-house. It was no ‘ wonder if five noses were fifty times | a day flattened despairingly against | the light-house windows. Yes, six l noses, for even Baby Deb was finally | affected; and, though she did nobl know the least thing about the { weather, she, too, would press her | little nose against the glass in a most | alarming way, as if she thought that pressure was the one effective thing. It took some time for Baby Deb to | realize the importance of having a | goose for Christmas; but when she | had grasped the idea she became an | enthusiast on the subject. She ex- | plained the matter to her dolls, and 1[ Nt || — A -://\‘, ’ o A N ' = | £ NBP h P N fusi B S e \ie= f f“\ .T)’. ety e ety l e e P TN Xe:= | \ | 7 3 Y\ - /: {2) i ) )S\' | i i > A éi \\., ANEEEON é 4 il 3 ¢OH! PLEASE, DOOD LORD, SEND A DOOGSE" 1 was particularly explicit with Scul- | pin, with whom, irdeed, she held very elaborate amd aimost painful conversations. One thing became very certain. There was very little prospect of clear |

T — weather within a week, and 1t lacked only three days of Christmas. Tha others gloomily gave up hope, but not so did Baby Deb. The truth was, she had a plan, and you know when one has a plan one has hope, too. Mamma Stoughton had only recently been having a series of talks with Baby Deb on the important question of prayer, and it had occurred to Baby Deb that the goose was a good subject. for prayer. It was a very clear case to her. The goose was necessary. Why not ask for it, then? The great ‘difficulty was to find g secret place for her devotions, for the family very well filled the light-house, and Baby Deb had understood that praeyrs ought to be quietly and secretly made. | The place was found, heowever. j Just in front of the light-house was a broad ledge’ of rock, generally washed by the waves, but at low tide, even in this bad weather, out of water. The other children had been forbidden to go there because it was dangerous, but no one had thought of cautioning Baby Deb. So there she went, and in her imperfect way begged hard for the goose. Christmas Eve came, and still there was no goose. Baby Deb was -puzsled; the others were gloomy. Still Baby Deb would not give up. It ) would be low tide about seven o’cloek. She knew that, for she had asked. She would make her last trial. She had hope yet; but as the others knew ' nothing of her plans, they had absolutely no hope. To them it was certain that there could be no Christmas goose. Seven o'clock came, and Baby Deb | crept softly from the room and down- | stairs. , She opened the great door | just a little bit, and slipped out into the darkness. Really did slip, for it was very icy on the rocks, and she sat down very hard. However, she was very chubby and did not mind it. l She crawled cautiously around to the | big rock, the keen wind nipping her | round cheeks and pelting her wit.hi the frozen drops of spray. She knelt | down. } “Oh! please, dood Lord, send us a| doose. We wants a doose awful. 1 Won't you, please, dood Lord?” Thud! fell something right alongside of her. { “Oh! What's dat®” she exclaimed, | putting her hand out. “Why, it's a| doose!” she cried, with a scream of | delight, as her hand came in contact with a soft, warm, feathery body. She forgot to give a “thank you” for the goose; but she was thankful, | though not so very much surprised. . She really had expected it. It was a heavy load for Baby Deb, ’ .ei & i I | . b , 81l BBt B ¥ s o - I‘WQ | < & ! == § 1> A 5. "{ A 1;’ & A I /;- ) ; ,@4? ////% / || 77 [ | ,’:54;//,;, !

She made her way into the | light-house, and, step by step, patter, ? patter, she went upstairs and burst, 2 ~all breathless, into the sitting-room, | crying exultantly: 1 - “It's tummed, it's tummed,” as the | - great goose fell from her arms upon | the floor. | i Well! if you think they were not | surprised, you know very little about | ! the Stoughton folks.

' at once. » But by and by Papa Stough- | i ton had a chance to be heard. t | “Where did ycu get it, Baby Deb?” | ‘ he asked. ! | “Why, I p'ayed Dod for it!” an: | ' swered Deb. : { l “Paid - Ded?” . exclaimed Papa ‘ ' Stoughton.

And, after all, who shall say that ‘the good | Lord’ did not send it?” At all events, not a word of explanation was said to Baby Deb, and no | one contradicted her when she said | at dinner next dagy: “Dod’s doose is dood.”—St. Nich- | olas. e e It is announced that a New York | thief is a descendant of Henry Clay. | | This cannot elevate him to the plane | of the morally pure kleptomaniac.

The Birth of Christ. The lesson for Sunday, Deec. 25, may be found in Luke ii. 8-20. - INTRODUCTORY, We close with this the lessons of 1892, Nextyear the International Series comes ‘ back again into the Old Testament and, { this time, to the period of the minor prophets, beginning with Ezra i. 1-11.— l Returning from Captivity. We give below a few notes on the lesson: ¥% = LESSON NOTES. Christ is the true Christmas gift. Tell of Christ to others; that is good Christmas giving. l Or do as the shepherds did—make it known abroad. Go with the good news or give money to send others. ' It is to humble shepherds that angels must resign the work they would long | ‘themselves to perform. God calls his ' chosen messengers from the lowliest. l But they were faithful in their sphere; | they were keeping watch. Has God . given you a humble charge? Keep it well. To such God says, for higher employ: “Thou hast been faithful over I a few things, I wll make thee ruler over | many things.” As Dr. Gordon has said, | “Well done” presupposes well-doing. l But if God gives you something better todo, arise and do it. He will look i after the work you leave behind. Those | sheep on the Bethlehem hillside had angel wardens in the :hepherds’ ab- ' sence. God will take care of the boats ! and nets; he has some one else for' them. Leave all, and follow Jesus. ! Take it personally: “Unto you is born, this day, in the city of David, a ' Saviour, which' is Christ the Lovd.” This day. Happy, happy Chiistmas | morn, if it bring to you a Saviour. But, | perhaps, you already know him; then ! know him better. have larger faith in him. “To you who believe he is pre- ' cious.” Let it be a new Christ to whom , | whom you look up this day and say, | | “Saviour! Master!” | [ May the Church of Jesus Christ lehold anew the Son of God, and write its I ‘ heavenly name clearer, stronger. A | larger Christ is the need of the age. | George Herron is right about it, "Every | true conversion is only the beginning of the soul’s discovery of the Saviour.” A I ’ new apprehension of Jesus of Nazareth l on the part of the church is what our . ! poor, blind and halt old world is wait- | ing for at this Christmas-tide. O, Lord, ! oren the eyes of thy servants that they | may see wondrous things! ' And after the vision, what then? . Mary kept all these things, and pon- ’ | dered them in her heart. Too many of | us look and listen, and then forget; too ' few keep and ponder. But see the l shepherds. They returned, “glorifying I | and praising God for all the things that i they had heard and seen, as it was told | | them.” That is they lived up to theiri | lights. So great with many of us isl | the difference and distance between the | | light we have seen and the life we live. i | Great light, little enthusiasm; pure | | light, crooked walk; searching light, | | half-hearted consecration. “What is | | the matter with the Christians to-day | ' 80 many of them there | vBT "' "l.l': LoT, iUty ) T laanar (ot | good works, answers for us: “Too { many get no farther than the firsf | | glimpse of Jesus. Failing to act upor | E the whole truth given them, content | | simply to be healed of past sins, they | | go their way half devoted, only half | given to the Master. Constantly, ns’ | new ocecasions for consecration of gift | | and talent arise unimproved, they keep | | falling behind, falling behind; until, | ' presently, there really seems to be more | | that is devoted to self than there is de- ! | voted to Christ.” Is it a happy life to | lead? Nay, it is wretched.
