Aud suddenly there wax j with the angel a multitude of the heav- ! enly host." St. Luke, ii, 112-13. At midnight from one of the gailines of the sky a chant broke. To an ordi- | I nary observer there liny have been no reason for such celestial demonstration. ! A poor man and wife, travellers. Jo- j seph and Mary by naiua, had lodged in I an outhouse of an ordinary village. I The supreme hour of solemnity had pass- 1 ed, and upon the pallid forehead and cheek of Alary, God bud set the digni- ' ty, the grandeur, the tenderness, the everlasting and divine rigmficance. Such scenes had often occurred in Retblehem but never before had a star been unfixed or had baton of light mar shalled over the lulls winged orchestra. If there had been brilliant ami migh ty recognition in the sky at a nativity in the house of Pharoh, or at a nativity j in the house of (,'ics.ir, or, in »*:»,' ages ' at a nativity in the house of the Stuarts j or house of Uapsburg, it would not have ] been so wouderful; but a barn seemed j too poor a centre for such delicate aud j archange.lic ciroutnfereiice, tho stage \ seemed too small for so grea'. an act, ' the music too graud for such unappro- > ciative auditors, the stable too rude to j bo surrounded by otehr words. No sir; j no madam. It is my joy this morning j to tell you what was born that night in i the village barn, aud that I tuay make my scrniou cumulative and climacteric 1 I begin by telling you that that eight in the caravansary of Bethlehem there , was born encouragement for all the j poor!} started. He had only two friends His parents. No satiu 'tned cradle, no I dulieiilo attendance, but the straw and | the cattle and the coarse jokes an l ban- ' tcr ot the camel drivers. No wonddr j the medieval painters represent the ox- ( en as kueeliisg .it the mangers. There j were no men there at that time to wor ship. Hut froui what depth of humila tion had otir Lord risen. To what hcighth ! What i. tho- mightiest name ! in all Christendom to-day! Jesus. Who has more friends than any othei j being ! Jesus. Before whom to-day do church and cathedral and chapel bend ' Jesus. For whom might a j hundred million men be marshaled to i fight or die! Jesus Oh, what en- ! eourageuunt for the poorly started. ] Was Tour birth more disadvantageous ' 1 Were your surroundings more poverty ] stricken ? Ho you know that all the great deliverers of the world were born j in barn like places? Latter, the em- . amcipstor of religion, born aiuid the j mines. Shakspeare, the emancipator of literature, born in an humble Itomc at Stratford upon AvMi. (Joluuibns, the discoveror of a world, born in poverty at Geona. Hogarth the discoverer of how to uiake art administrative of vir > toe, born in poverty at Westaiorelaud I l'rideau and Kiltn, whoso key* Dave uu- I locked apart men is of the Holy Scrip- ture that bad otherwise never been explored, horn iu humble homes and amid greatest privations. Niuu out of ten of Ihe world's deliverers, nine out of ten of tho world's uiessiahr — the messiabs of law, the messiabs of medi cine, the messiabs of bencvolance the messiabs of philanthropy, the messiabs of poverty, bom in bain-like place*. I stir your holy ambition to-day if you L feel that there are those in your occu pation or profession, or outside of it, who are trying to hinder your ascent and your progress, and I want to tell you that the sympathetic heart and the almighty arm of the son of, U,od are on your »ida, and y»u have ah intimate and sympathetic friend in the one wh . is wrapped in swaddling clothes aud lay in the manger. For all tlie poorly started what encouragement, "Aye," | you say, "lie was divine and I am hu man." Then 1 answer by saving that all the resources of tho Lord God Al mighty may be enlisted in your behalf, and that at your first call lor held Ho wil! come for your deliverance. Again, 1 remark, that in that lieth lcbem barn, that Christmas night was born good will to men whether you eall it kindness, forbearance, forgiveness, genially, affection, or love. !t was no J spirt for high heaven to send its favor- i i ite to that huiiiilalion. It was a saeri liee for a rebellious world. After the i calamity in Paradise not only aid tlie ox begin to gore ntid the adder to slim; and tbe elephant to smite witb It.. tu.-.k aud the linn to put to bad use tooth and 1 paw, but under the very tree from which | was plucked that forbiddeu fruit there Hatched war and revenge and anger and , ) hato and euvy and jealousy aud the | whole brood of cocatriees. Against ! that 1 put the Retblehem scene which j practically says bless instead of curse, | endure rather than assault, and that I Christmas night seems to put out all | vindictiveness. It practically lays, sheathe the sword ; spike the guns , | dismantle the batterries ; turn the war ship Constellation that carried allot and ' shell, into a grain ship to tak/j fojd to I famishing Xrelaud; hook yJnr cavalry | horses to ttie p! jw; use your deadly I gunpowder to blast rooks aad for patri ■ otic celebration; quit your law-suits; stop your autionymous letters ; take the i sting out of your sarcasm; drop all | harsh words out of your vocabulary ; let your wit coruscate, but let it never | burn. Good will to men ! "Oh," says some ono, "You may adopt that principle, I'll never udopt it. If my enemy wants uie to forgive him, bo will have to come and ask for forgiveness." If you say that you aro no Christian, or if you are a very mean specimen of a Christian. If ye forgive not m«n their tresspasses neither will ynur heavenly Father forgive you your tresspasses. Forgive theui if they ask tt ; forgive them, anyhow. Shake hands all around. Good will to iu«n 1 Oh, that the bless ed spirit of our Lord Jesus C!il ist would drop this morning it to ell our souls. What the worll wants is , more kind words, more helping hands, more dispo sition to give other people a ride, more willingness to take the heavy ond of the load and give them the light end, moru j disposition to ascribe good motives in- j stead of bad, more willingness to find ; our happiness in making others happy, j Out of the licthlehcui crib let bear and j lion cat straw like an ox. Good will to ' men ! That principle will become j dominant in all the earth until there will | bo only two antagonists left, and j will sidu by side take the jubilant sleigh j ride to which I lie prophet see/is to : point when he says: "llvliness shall bo upon tlie bells of the hoisoi." Again I renurk that on that Christ mas night in that liethlalieiu wos born sympathetic union with life other | worlds. The only scepticism that his j ever touched me I might call an as- , tionoiuical scepticism which said : | "Why did God go to part Jupiter and Saturn and all the mighty worlds and come to our little bit of a woijid for the j achievement of Ili» only when it | might have been on a larger scale and amid vaster worlds liut when I come to tbe iiisnger and I see its won derfel surroundings, the Scepticism is gone. 1 find all the worlds ave sisters, and when »tio weeps tbev all weep, arid , when one sings they all sing. From j that supernatural grouping in that cloud { bai ik over Hothleheiu and from tho ex- . pucial trains that ran down tu tho scotie, i I know that other*worlds are iu sympa thy onrs. The meteor* aro with us, f..r | one of them ran to pojut out tbe ?a- j vior's birthplace. Tbe hesvans are i with us, for at the thought ol our re- : demption doxologte* rolled from the , i I midciic'.t sl.y. Oh my friend, I think I j that titers i> moro heavenly sympathy f with us than we sometimes imagine, and i j that when a child is bora augcls fetch i j il, aud when an old man is borne ■ | down with the weight of years angels • ; support hull. Angels iu llio hospitals i| to heal tho sick. Angels in the cem etery tii guard our dead Angels iu | the church to cry huavenward the news of repentant, souls. Angels above the world. Angels under th» world. Au j gels all around the world. Oh, tf we i could only rub from our eyes the dun ! of our humanity and could li»>k up, wo would see augels of pity, angels of luer cy, angels yf reseno, angels crowiir ( d, angels charioted. The world dcfcuded by angels, girdled by angels, cohortcd ,by angels, clouds ol angels. Hear Da vid cry but, the chariots of the Lord aro : twenty thousand, even thousands of l angels. But the greatest of the angels I stood not that night iu the clouds, but lay with ihe cattle, the angel of the new covenant. Blessed be Hisglurious ; name. Wheu tho clean white liuoii scut! j in by some motherly villager had beon i wrapped around this child emperior, | not a cherub, not a seraph, not au an- j I gol, not a world but wept and thrilled j and shouted- Oh, worlds in sv npathy | j with us. Our world Ilia silver ring of : a great I tddor at the top of which, is | our Father's house. No more stellar ! solitariness for jur world. No more i planet spuu out into thread to freexe, but a world in tho bosom of divine ma- : tcrnity—a star harnessed to a muii- 1 gcr. I remark again, that born that night j ; ir. tho village barn was tho offender'* ! [hope. Some noruiouizor might say,! i "you ought to have projected that idea I l at the beginning of the sermon." No 1 I wanted to lead ou up to it. 1 want ! Ed to shew you the topaz and tho em eralds, and the comoliaus of lesser beau- | ty before you saw this Kohiuoor, this j crown jewel of the agos. Ah ! this jew- j el hud a very poor setting. Out of fear is born amid the graud old pillars of the forest, whelp of lion coming from the juiigij takes its first step on luxuriant leaf, 4 and witd flower, kill of gokt ia I born in cavern oandeliered with stalao- I titc and pillared with stalagmite, but j Christ born in the manger. And yet from that nativity comes tho offender's uomo. Over the door of lieavcu were written t'uc words, aud aro written now: "None but the sinless can cuter here." "Ah," you say, "that is a great horror for our souls, then none of us can enter if none but the sinless." Bui I have to tell you that Christ came into ono door and Ho wort out at the other door of the world; He came into tbe door of the manger and He wont out through the door of the sepulchre. His oue { business was to wash us from sin so | thoroughly that one second after we are i dead we will havo uo more sin about j us than there is about tho eternal Cod. You say that is putting tho case very! strongly. 1 know it is, but that is what 1 understand about lull remnsion — all erased, all washed uwav, ill scoured ' out, all gone. That under-girding aud over-arehing and irradiating and unpar- ' adiug opportunity for you aud for me ' was born that, night ; .n the Bothlehe u caravansary. Do you wonder then that 1 we bring the fl .wers ? Do you wonder ( then that we bring' the music ! Do you wonder that Raphael and Titian and Rubens mid Gato and Ghirlanjo, and i all tho German aud Italian masters with their mightiest stroke sketched the Ma- ! donua. Mary and lur boy ! Now I un derstand what the nunger wis. High er than tho unpearled cradle ef tbe Henrys of Knglaid tho Louises of France, the Fredericks of Prussia. Now out of this Hellilohsin crib not so much ' foed the oxen of tbe stall or tho white ' horses of spocalyptic vision. Now the ! swaddling clothes enlarge and emblazon ' until they become the robes of a con- 1 queror. Now I find that the star that j shone that night was only the diamond- i ed sandal of Him who bath tho noon ' under His feet. Now I find that '.he ' •ong that night was not the complete j •ong. out only stringing of the iuatru- i ments for a chorus of two words, the 1 bass carried by earthly nations scared, the soprana carried by kiugoms of glory won. And all that heaven made possi ble to u> through the birth, the suffer iags and the doath of the Son of God. ; 1 shall meet you there on a brighter ; Christmas Day than this. I look this , morning through tbe dim distance, and , I looked thiough Ihe fog oaks over the i river Jordan, and I look through the wid* open door of kolid pearl, and I see our reunion. Oh, what high converse i you and I will have over siu paidoncd, ; over sorrow comforted, and over battles fought, llow then we wili lalk over ' uianger aud over cross I am going there 1 am going to take all my family | witb rue. lam going to tako all my | ohuuh wiib me. I aui going to take , all my friends with me if I can. I am j going to call you to enter the kingdom lof God and bo ready for it. I am go ing to push you in. 1 am by holy j stratagem £oing to surpi ise you in. Willi ail physical and mental ami spir itual and immortal energy 1 shall coin | pel you to come in. 1 like you so well i on earth I would liko your eternal coiu ; pauionship iu beaveu. Into that brigbt ! ncas joy many of those who used to cel ebrate Christmas withu. aro now gatli ured. 1 was called to bury a little child, aud 1 suppose the people passing 1 along the street, seeing the signal oil I the door-bell, said "it is only a child," but a broken-hearted father said to me: "Come around and comfort us, for ' though she was only 15 months old, wo i all loved hei so much." Ah! it does | not take a chili a great while to get I both arms around tho parents' entire , nature. What a glorious Cluistmas | morning when we all get together again, i The silver-haired father young again. The mother with the aches and plains and decrepitude well again. All the : young and all the old, and how we will all talk orei the past, how glad we wilt bo to see them, bow glad they will be to sue us. One of the little ones this morning seems to stand at the gate aud holding with oue hand the shinning gate, waves (he other baud out toward you, saying : "'.'omo this way, father, Steer straight for uio ; Here safe in heaven 1 am waiting for thee." Ob, 1 am so glad that when the an- j gels closed their concert thnt Christmas night over the hills of lictlilolieiu and they departed, they forgot to shut the door, and it cannot bo shut again. It is wide open now. You cannot shut out from us the glories that are to • come. The gate is blocked opeu by hosannas marching that. What more than all tnnerves iac is the though', that 1 all this is for sinners such as you and I ' are — all this humiliation of the uianger and all tho suffering of the cross. If it j had been only for those win bad always j done right and always thought right, and always acted right, we would have i had no interest in it, uould have had no share tu it. We would have stuck to our raft in mid ocean aud let the great ship of heaven go by taking pcr fjet passengers from a perfect life on earth to a perfect life in heaven, liut no. 1 have heard that tie captain of ; that ship is tbe loving, tho kind, the sympathetic ono who hushed the tem pest all around the boat on Galilee, acd that all his passengers are sinners saved ! by grace. So I hail that ship aud it bears down toward us, and as it comes • near by I shout the two questions, "Who art thou 1" and "Whence art | thou !" and the r.nswer is, "I am the '■ captain of salvation, aud I camo from a manger.'' Oh, bright Christmas I morning of uiy soul's delight. Chime B'l the balls. Wreathe all the garlands. | Rouse all the nutlicnis. Shake hands ill all tin congratulations. Merry Chris'.mas! Merry at the thought of sins pardoned and griefs solacod. Mer ry at tho thought of rapture* to come. Merry Christmas 1 Lot Cnrist be lift-: ed from the uianger this day, and let down iu all our hearts. We may not I be able tobiiug to Him such treasures as tlu magi brought, but wo will bring to Him the frankincense of our joy, the i pearls of our tears; the kiss of our love, | tho prostration of our worship. Down at his feet all the churches, all the earth nnd all the heaven*. Down ai his feet tho four an 1 twenty ciders on their faces. Down at His feet the great uiul- , titude that no man can member."

In Mew of the prevalence of lung dis eases, a prominent physician was waited on yesterday and asked to give some reasons for it. lie says that imperfect inspiratiou is at the bottom of much trouble. In such a case be tolls the I patient to swell out the whale chest full | aud round by a deep respiration, elevat ing and throwing back the shoulders; and then, when be lias got into hia lungs the last atom of air possible, to bold it :n tightly for a time, and then , to let it off slowly, blowing out every atom of it if be possibly can by forcible expiration, drawing the slnulders for j ward and pressing in the chest to the smallest possible compass, thus throw j ing out almost all )residual air, and Jill this tl_ /m nose with mourh closed.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. EARLY l.Mi'RßjssroNs. —It is a very important fact, aud one never to be sight of by mothers, that the education of an infant begins at birth. The mor al atmosphere by which it is surround -led will, in a great measure, determine its future character. Parents often do and say things in the sight and bearing iof little children which they would be ashamed of iu the presonco of an older person. Every outburst of temper, every peevish or fretful word, is pboto goaplied upon the mental constitution of the child, never to bo effcedi a 1 - ! thought of course, after tiaining may modify the impression. It is not to bo woudercd at that mothers worn down with a weight of oare and overworked ; arc sometimes fretful; but if they would remember that every hasty word in IW by's presence must come back to tbeut I in a still greater weight of care, perhaps they would exercise a higher degree of ; self-control.
