KB hvitrt mk urfla pmm in « ADDRESS CAPE MAY STAR AW WAVE WHAT l!> CHRISTMAS DAY. It is tbe only day of the year consecrated purely to jov. There are days of ! thanksgiving and other feasts, but Christmas celebrates a day of Jay. and" gladness. This day i might not appeal to evervone, only to ■ those who love* Jesus Christ. "And the Angels'said unto [tbem, fear not, for behola I bring yoa Jtidings'of great Joy, which shall be to all people. For j unto you is born this <Jay in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Continuous Joy in any faculty indicates tbe highest condition of health and when it abounds tbe soul is in a state of perfectness. The angel proclaimed Joy to the shepherds and declared to them that it should be a Joy to all people. Christmas day is the first day in the year when the dagg begin to lengthen. , We can (commence our fives all over ; when we remember one chief thing— i Christ was born on Christmas dav. " There are some people who will not think of tbe great birthday of our dear Lord— only in one way, and that a very selfish way. "How many , presents will I receive?" and "Whom will I exchange presents with this year?" and "Oh dear, I received a poor gift from that friend last Christmas and now I wiil'not give a good one this time." These thoughts must mortify the Christmas angels and are sacreligious and not dignified for the ' great birthday of our Lord. It is turning gifts and the great pleasure of giving into a mere business transaction and the Christ child is forgotten. Let us stop for one moment and look ' into tbe stores of our great cities and 1 country towns, that are so beautifully illuminated and decorated, thai give so much pleasure even to stand outside and look in the pretty windows— but look at tbe poor, tired clerks that have ; double work to do, day and night, who j— Myi "I -do dread the holidays! So much work. I will* be glad when the rush is over !" And aga'n. those who have lost dear ones about the holiday season ; "Oh! I dread Christmas to . come ! brings to my mind my great lose— I lost my child, or parents," etc. , "Can we not .console ourselves that we : have to lose our dear ones some day, why not at this time of the year, because our great comforter can be the Christ child who would not see os sorrowful. Let us try and forget our ' - eorrows to some extent for the sake of those around us and wear a smile for , this day. And again, "Oh! I wish I had a great heap of money, how happy I would be at Christmas time!" and all sorts of worried thoughts, and ' anxious crowds of people killing themselves in crowded stores to buy what is called "return gifts." Do all^these things make God happy? Don't you want to be happy on your birthday? Are we celebrating Christmas for what it means to us, to God. ] or for our own selfish gratifications? If God had not come down from Heaven and taken upon himself the 1 nature of man bo to redeem us from 1 perdition and bring us through His ' pain and suffering and birth to the J • — gates of paradise. Let us Journey with , the wise men and fall down and wor- , ship this Christ child, guided by the i great star of Bethlehem shining in our 1 hearts, and give 'our best gifts to the < Holy child 'and not all for ourselves. Let us stop a minute and give a kind ' * word, a smile, a little gift, even in the 1 way of a Christmas postal, to some ] starved hearr, just lor a little remem- j brance. Ob, my ! What a Dower of , joy one little thought would do — "In ( 'His Name." To do 6ome little thing i for the poor and desolate in some poor : tenement house, or away on top of the mountains there are some so far away 1 that Christmas would be to them a lit-. tie heaven on earth ir they could only have a glimpae *of it, especially at this 1 time. Above all other days let the star of Joy and kind thoughts shine in • our hearts in all its beauty. KNIGHT. L, L < I .1 '

But the Indians have learned all his tricks and bow to circumvent them. To the desert aborigine the. cbnckwalla Is alluring. He feasts on tbe cbnckwalla; hence he grows wise as to Its habits. He takes a piece of strong wire or a j bent twig. and. poking it Into tbe crevice, he taps the cbnckwalla on the end of the nose. In a moment the angered i reptile exhales a kind of hiSs. the noise being made by a rapid expulsion of the breath. As be thus exhales be loses his hold on the rocks, and in a | moment tbe Indian pulls on his tall, i As speedily as a flash of lightning tbe | cbnckwalla inhales again and tightens j himself In his recess.
