merrily, and few were the footsteps
that passed over tho f now outsido.
As tho clock in the tower chimed
four, old Johnnn Marin entered tho
dimness of the chnrch upon tho h.U,
where soft red lights shone like far
away stars beforo the altar. There were
n few other dark figures already there,
kneeling to whisper a prayer at an old
o:.ken prie-dien. But they looked up
as the old man came forward, and
c,athere;l together more closely. He
would say the evening litany.pf rhaps,
and they wuld join in the solemnly
sweet responses, breathing in each
beert the names of their clearly loved
one?,and committing them to hcavon'a
eafe keeping for the night.
And old Julian n Marin, as they had
espeoted, kneeling in the toft halo
that the lights made, began tho old,
old words that they knew so well, and
that they followed to earnestly, while
the wind wailed ontsid over the snow
en the steep white road. And Amalie and
Dorchen and Aida, giris with fair

berried holly nnd white-veined ivy
leaves to twino round tho carved pul
pit and the choir-stalls? Ye?, it was a
time of joy an l gladness, this Christ
mas scaeoD, nnd they were very, very
happy. Why not so? Everyone was
r;ay nnd glad at Christmas time, whin
there where kuchen in tho callages,
nud little fir trees laden with presents,
r.nd suger nngcls to bo bought at tho
t-hops or tho market in tho town yon
der, to remind thom of tho Rreat
Christmas long ago, when tho nngels
sang over tho star-lit fiel.b nt Bethlo
hem. Ahd by nn 1 by, that same evening,
thero would bo a great eervice, wh. n
the priest would pray nnd preach, nnd
they would nil lifdec, oh! so intently.
Hut now there was only tho quiet
ness of Iho little church, with its scent
of tho freshly-cut boughs, nnd the
quavering, monotonous voice of
Johann Maria repeating the old
litany, as ho had repeated it so many
times beforo in tho samo place cud in
tho sarao accents.
Xhcro was another girl ia the
corner, kneeling nt her piie dieu, and
whispering tho words of tho sweet old
petitions with whito lips and an aching
heart. Clirittmas brought only sor
row for her, he said to herself. Ihcro
was no gladness for her to expect, no
loving voico to gtvo her the Christina?
greeting, no tender lips to press her
own iu that lovo bweeter than others,
even nt tho 6cason of universal love.
No, nil was dark nnd dreary dreary
as the shadows that fell upon tho
whito snow ; and while tho others ro-
I joieed nud ltukod forward to keeping
tho festival her heart was heavy and
her thoughts roamed back, pitilessly,
painfully, to a bygouo day a day
that was marked with tho thadow of
death. .-. .'
It was Christmas tiir.o again, nnd
tho priest, had preached nnd prayed,
and given tho old bcnutiful benedio
tion, that floated out liko a messago
from Heaven over the kneeling peoplo
over her lever and herself.
Ah ! her lover !
lie had been kneeling by her side
then, with tho lights Hashing on his
soldier's cont and his brave, haudsomo
face, nud sho had heard his voico
throughout nil tho ierviee, in ringing,
clear tones that sho knew un 1 loved so
well, so trulv nad passionately. And
she had been to happy, eo very very
happy, although the thought of the
morrow's paiting had como even now
and then to her heart, wit! the throb
bing pain of erme sorrowful dream.
Cut ho had begged her to forgetto
forget nil the paiu of parting for that
ono dny. "Let ns be happy together,
sweetheart," he had said, looking into
her eyes with his own, ah I filled with
so muoh lovo and tenderness.
And she had obeyed him, as she
always would obey the voice that was
mose to her than life itself, and they
had been happy perfectly, passion
ately happy in their great, unfath
omable love.
"What is love?" he said to Ler, as
they walked home in tho evening,
watohiag the star gleams, like points
of diamonds, fla.-tb. on the dnrk waters
of the Jseckur: "What :s love?'' ho
had asked, and she had looked up to
the beautiful, grave face before she
answered :
"Love is tho most perfect and tho
holiest of friendships, my beloveJ. It
means the merging of one's b- If into
another's being, and the living for an
other. It is based on sympathr,
deepest and truest, and its keynote is
nuselfbhncss. It
something that
cannot die. lor it belonss to Ood. aud I

from His Heaven. It is holy, eternal,
ever-abiding, and ib is ours, yours aud
mine tho most perfect union of
hearts, my dearest one, ia tho 4eti
dorest, truest sympathy."
fcfo she had spoken, as they went
down the river-bordered rond together,
hand in hand, with tho evening wind
moaning among tho pines, nnd tho
Christmas chimes ringing out from the
tower in the distance. And he had
btooped nud kissed her, kissed her
over nud over again with burning
kisses that lingerod oa her lips nil
through tho long lonrr, aferwnrds,
when they wero parted by a darker,
tido than even tho swiftly flowing
Necknr.
That was her dream of Christnyij

words that she never, never tired of
heariog, and that ho never tired of
saying; and afterwards the mirth and
music of tho family gnthoring in the
warm homestead, where Johauu Muria
told wonder.'ul 6torics, nud Ama'io
anl Dorchen sang tender love licder
or wild ballads of tho mountains.

morning, one eceuo more, Tho boI

palo face, nnd his lovo biding a lavt

tho tardy daylight struggled into the
cottage. And, with quivering lips,
sho had whispered of hope, of their
nest meeting, of the brave deeds that
ho was to do, of tho patient waiting
that would bring them such joy nt
last. And ho knew that sho was right,
that his own heart told him the same
story, while ho kissod his dear, dear
lovo over and over again, murmuring
tho "Auf wiedersehen" that ho knew
would bring her comfort. ".My
heart's beloved, Go.l keep you," she
said, brokenly, with her 6vect nrms,
for tho last time, clinging about his

neck, and her head pillowed ou his
strong shoulder.
And then sho had raised her lips to
bis for the last, long kiss, and it was
over with her heart's story, told in
that ono "Auf wiedersehen. "
Ah! the peasant's litany waa over,
and the women bad gone out softly,
while the ripplo of tho girls' voices
sounded already some distance down
the hill.
Oohann Marie had followed them,
and the sacristan bad brought in n
great bunch of red holly-berries to
decorate tbo altar.
And she must go, too, passing cut
into the night occo more. Tbey had
left her to her own thoughts, these
URPry 6'rJ- nd tho was glad of it.
She knew their sympathy and loved
them for it. aad thev would be very
tender with hor all through tho feast,
i she felt.
Even now, perhaps, Amalie was say
ing, "Aeh ! the poor Margaretta ! Is
it not two Christmas festivals siato
her lover elicd in tho war?" And the
others would look grave for a moment
and sigh a soft "Yes." Ah, it was
true. Two long, dim years had passed
away einco tue tk'rmi.slies on tue
frontier land, whero, amid the dry
heather aad the deal bracken, they
had told hor that her lover had died.
But that was all. They knew not
whero his body had beon rested ; thoy
knew not whether ho hal suflferod
ngony or had parted with his bravo
soul in tho heat of the battle. All wa:j
vague, unceiUin; on'y her lover was
gouo from her gono, gone, she knew
not where.
As she went down tho hill road on
that Christmas Eve alone some one
was waiting under tho shadow of tho
bending pine trees. Some one camo
forward to meet her with a quick, glad
cry of joy and heart's delight. Was
it a dream ns the thoughts in tho
chnrch yonder had been a dream of
Christmas, nnd of her love, her own,
her life's love, but lost to her lost?
Nay, for voico spoke to her, and
dreams havo co voices, they are silent
and sad ; and this was a living, throb
bing voice, fuli of passion and ten
derness. "Heart's beloved! Sweet one!" he
was calling her all the old dear names
that th-2 remembered so well ; and his
kisses were burning onoe again on her
lips nnd brow, and his eyes wero tell
ing her all tho lovo his loyal heart
bore for her. Ho had come back to
her, to his Margaretta, back to his
life's lovo, from tho very gates of
death!
Aud, clasped to his breast, in the
hush of tho evening, with her tired
head resting ou his heart, they heard
THE BETnty.
tho bells ring out for the eve of tho
festival the festival of Perfect Love.
By-niid-by he told her the story of
his wardering?, of bis supposed death,
of his captivity and escape, and she
listcnei'l, with her hands still locked
in his and with her glad eyes fastened
on his face.
And at the service time they returned
thanks ia tho brightly lighted chnrch
on the bill, gay with fco'iy nnd ever
green and th6 morrow's high holy day.
Aud whoa the music ceased aud th,
others w;ni softly away, together thry
t-ti!l knelt oa, while each loving heart
breathed its tender petition nnd whis
pered its thanks for the others' happi
ness. For tho "Auf wiedersehen"
had been spoken iu truth, nud they
fhall keep Christmas together. Tho

Clnitm.is of ChilJlioail Days,
'My first thought of Christmas,"
says Lillio Devereux Giake, "is of tho
great playroom at my grandmother's,
where we children gathered for our
evening fro'.hs; of tho fun wo had in
tho wnvinth and light, while sleet
struck its ioy finger3 across the win
dows or the hoar frost covered the
glass with fantastic lines oi beauty ; of
tho faces of thoso gathered there, eo
young then, that are growing old now
or have faded from this world forever.
Then thero come:i a wider vision of the
Christmas of the world, of tho joy
bel! ringing iu many lands for the
feast cf love and good will, of the
hearts made happy by tho gifts, the
kindliues?, the good cheer that brings
liht to the hnmulcst home, so that
there is hardly nny being so forlorn
that soiaa ray of Lrightue69 does not
rei:h him. Thcu yet again, and
deeper, is the reflection of what the
festival mean?. It is the celebration
of tho eternal rairaola of maternity,
tho wonder of birth into the activities
of this world, that has been in all ages
and by nil peoples observed at tomo
period as an occasion for gladness ; the
welcome those already here give the
new born sonl to the brief, passionate
years of human happiness and human
despair that wo call life." . i

How to Malse n Pretty KRect In the
Glowing Light. j
The first step in the wcrk of trim
ming tha Christmas tree is to tack a '
square of crath to the floor under tha J
tree. This caves the caipet from tho
drippings of numerous candles and I
the general debris which the disruaa-
tling of the tree invariably occasions, j
Tbo green tub, iu which tho treo

cro.ss pieces of pice nailed to the edgo !
to hold it securely iu place, is almost j
sure to bo in tho housewife's posses- !
eion. Conceal this by n covericg of j
whito eottoa batting, dusted thickly j
with coarsely powdered mica to ro- j
semb'.o snow, says tho Philadelphia i
Press. Or cover it with imitation i
green moss, which can be obtained at
the shops at a triding co;t. Tho latter
is really the better piau. It is sim
pler, cleaner and moro effective.
The newest conceits lor tree decora
tions are artificial fruits and vegeta

la lighting tho tree, modern soiencj
eoii3 strongly to tho fore. If thero
are electric lights in tho house, au at
tachment is rasiiy made, whereby the
tree can be lighted with tiny incaado
scent Lulbs of different colors. In
case tho housa is without electric
lights, a storage battery may bo ob
tninod at mo.lerato cost. From this
the same results are secured. This
modern style of illumination removes
the old-tiuio danger of tbo tree catch
ng fire from its lijhts, but it is also
open to the objection of dispelling tha
romaniic glow whic'i came from in
numerable caudle?. So the great ma
jority of people still prefer tho can
dles, which seem to bo a part of tho
Yulttide.
For convenience in distributing tho
gifts, it is a good pi m to place ou
each gilt a number, while tho mistress
of tho ceremonies keeps a written list
of each member of tho household,
with their correFponding check. The
distribution is usually mado by the
child or thildren for whose enjoyment
the trt.o is arranged.
Tito Joys of I'liWslinas,
Ono of the mc.t blessed things about
Christmas is that it makes so maiiy
people feol young, writes Edward W.
Bok, ir. Ladies' Homo Journal. It is
the One season of the yenr wheu every
body Ice's that they can dismiss ub
straso thoughts, put dignity aside,
forget tho worries of tho world, aud
for a time return to their youth. It
always seems a pity that men try to
conceal this feeling so often at Christ
mas. Ou'y a few men nro capable of
being gracefully caught in the act of
making a miniature train of cars go
over tho cirpet. Catch them at it a
night or two befuro Christina?, and
nine out of every ten will instantly
get up from the carpet, brush tho
dust from the keces of their trousers
for du-t wiil set on tho carpels of
the best regulatod homes and imme
diately begiu to apologize. I havo
often wondered why nn n r;sent being
caught ia this way. But a woman
fecli differently, tnd it is a blessed
thing that she docs.
Superstitious ol Christ ui tt.
The superstitions of Christmas are
more numerous even than the observ
ances which owe their origin to heath
enish rites. Among certain European
peasants the belief still prevails that
oa Christmas morning oxen always
spend a portion of tho time on their
knees. This they do, according to tbo
peasants, in imitation of the ox and
the ass which, a legend states, wero
prerent at the ruanger and knelt wheu
Christ was torn.
Iu certain counties of England tho
idea prevails that sheep walk iu pro
cession on Christmas Eve, in com
memoration of tho glad tidings first
announced to shepherds. Pees are al
so said to sing ia their hives cn the
night beforo Christmas, and bread
baked at that time never becomes
mouldy at least so once thought
many English housewives.
