Ensland. , j As soon as Mrs. Olcoit was well rid of ( ' Mts. Hawley, she called her boys, and j bade Ihem go lo the pine-woods and get i the floeet, handsomest young hemlock- ' that they could find. "Get one that js straight and tall, with weU-bottghcd branches on it, and put it where you can drihv it under the wood- j shed, after dark," she added. The boys went to Pine Hill, and there { they picked out the finest young tree on all the hill, and said, "We will take this . one." So, with their hstchcts they . it down, and brought it safely 'home ihe next night when all was dark. ' when Koger wss quietly sleeping the adjoining room, they dragged the ' Into the kitcken. It was loo tali, so . they took il out again and cut oB two 1 or three feet at the base. Then they 1 propped it up, and the curuins ivelng 1 down OTer the windows, and blankets '.

Very early 'the next morning, while | 1 the stars shone on the snow-covered hills,— the same stars that shone sixteen 1 hundred years before on the hills when Christ was born in Bethlehem.— the Uu Uo PurlUn mother in New England arose very softly. She went out and lit the kitchen fire anew from the ashcovered embers. She fastened upon the twigs of the tree the gifts she had bought In Bosten for her boys and girl. Then she took as many si twenty pieces of candle and fixed ' tbem upon the branches. After that, she softly called Rupert, Robert, hucy, and told them to , get up and dress and come into the kitchen. Hurrying back, she began, with a bit of aborning stick, to light the candles. ' Just as the la-t one wss ,et aflame. In trooped the three children. Before they had time to say a word, they were silenced by their mother's "1 wish to fetch Koger in and wake - him n|) before It," said she.

Suppose one of them sails cast lo America, what i is the result? He will find they keep - the day there under a different date, i. and he will have to reckon one day in s his calendar twice over to put himself . right with their notions. On the other , hand, if an American crosses from cast . to west this wonderful magic line where C the day h^feins, he will fimfthc dates in e this fresh part W tho world sre one in 0 advance of him, and be must needs 1 strike a day out of his calendar lo keep . up with the times. This fact was curiously illustrated in the case of MsgelY tan, the Portuguese captain, who sailed i. round the world from east to west in ^ 1623, and having crosaed the magic line e of "day's birth" in his wandering, his i calendar became of course a day in arYcar.
