Eve.
.delightful as could be. ' The school house
was ablaze with light, and the tree and
s ever-green ' decoration unmistakably
. pointed to the trenerosityand taste of the
ladies of that refined quarter. Over the
' door in a' wreath was the legend "Enter
s In." The other end of the room showed
another legend "Humbly at Thy Feet I
Bow" There were two crosses in minia
ture one a St. Andrews, the other Roman'
with Immortelles. The diamond field divl-
ding '"Merry"; and . "Christmas." The
upper sash of the windows , were edged
with forest sprays and the tree behind the
dats was buried under the various gifts
dedicated to good old St. Nicholas. The
room.was crowded with those to wlrom
Christmas is a joy. Mrs. Ephraim and
Mrs. Ecrbert Smith"'. with alUhelr little
ones were among the number. Mr
Kgbert Smith, with magic Jantern, only
: awaited the introduction of the music to
display the scenes that soon were to stir
nil to their deoths in admiration and ap

', MERRY -CHRISTMAS.
Miss Durham accompanying on the or
: gan, was sung by Miss Sarah Elliot,
v ' Pre. Dillin, JI. Marquette.and Jno. Philp.
The hvmn was finely rendered. The
'- strains of joyous greeting uniting with
that char ni of tdiderness tho soul of
-'imuwiewas broneht out to the fullest.

The ,4Mau of Sorrows" from the lantern
was recievtid witH an applause from little
and birr. .The Madonna, bv Murillo. as
.tiunouiiced by Mr. McDonough, conclud
ed the memorial service.. Then those
iffrrttflHuiia hietures of ruonkies and hu
manity in its ludicrous sides, the merry
; laugh had it all its own way, from young
throats that know when, laughing is a
least. ' The "Good Night" by the choir of
opeuing eervice jeinforced by the young,
concluded the ceremonies of Santa Claus
.in Duncan, The gifts were now in order
rand each one as called showed that
Christmas had woven itself into the
happiness of the old to give, and; the
. young to recieve. .-!.:."

There was in nothing deficient at this
. pnee to give me youug oi . u -win
and friends all the charms of the legend.
Bdhlnd the altar a graceful arch of
green boughs spanned high up in the
. wail, several evergeen trees aouing me
immediate space and sf angled with the
.gifts for the little ones. . The choir sing
ing Merry Christmas. The strains floated
down into the young hearts heightening
their mystic love for their good patron.

present. Next the gifts and. all that
strange wonderment as each received
what through Santa Claus la esteemed
as a divine token, , "
At th Independent Church
. Among tho ladies of the Independent
church, as is their custom in all things,
had 'special and marked .; usages! To
.music for which they ar'o noted devotees,
was added a supper, and then. th0 pres
enU distributed among the young they
all as arranged, took a sleigh
ride. The merry and kindly hearts that
have done so , much to the, advanced
social life of our village in everything
refined,- swept through our streets, the
jingling bells telling how well .the
horses played . their part. In all, the
Christmas rejoicings . were a notable
feature of this village, and to the young
it is a memory that will long outlive the
explosion of the myth. . .There can , bo
nothing more healthful to the little ones
than' the suggestive offerings . to their
happiness. Hooks, toys, cards, candies, ,
jewelry, is a part of. young life treasnra
ble for sweet memories throughout life.
Klf Jfary'M Church.
At Cist nia33' wns' filled with devout
worshippers. .' Lcng before day . the
streets echoed to the moving feet of 'the
throng to tho holy shrine. The main
alfaf.wfis in full liht, ami was decora
tod prof uely with flowers in hedges of
green. Tho taies were rich in tho varie-
ty of colors, and the seeno a brilliant
ono to commemorate the "great festival
of tho Catholic church. ' The services
were as usual ou such occasions, impres
:8ivj. Tho choir was more than fair, and
the hymn Vecniic Ailorcnus given bril
liantly. The "pj'vtor, tho Rev. Father
'DeSmedt, after tho gospel, addressed a
few word in English to his hearers, nnd
preached ail excellent sermon in French.
At the communion services, nearly all
the congregation p'irtook of- the sacred
emblems. The Uev. Father is popu
lar as a citizen, i.i secular matters has
advanced views, and esteemed among all
classes and -denominations. While he
has tho confidence of his flock as a faith
ful shepherd, as is evidenced by their
devotion, he ranks In the community as
a man f culture,' arid is not with
out df cided merit as a writer, besides he
has scientific acquirements.)
ue Congregational Church.
Iii the town hall bad a tree debicated to
his homr by the ladies : of the ' Congie
gational church, Here the good old
saint was impersonated and a sly sus
picion 'arose in the young ' that W. T.
Vandefbilt, the ninslc dealer, had trans;
formed himself for the occasion. The
suspicion oh ripening into the minds of
the knowing ones, soon communicated
the contagion among all and a break
was made , to discover . the truth. : .'A
timely retreat left . the riddle unsolved
but not the removal of the suspicion.
The hall was a tableau of innocent life
full of that unspeakable loveliness in
childhood looking-for angel gifts.. It
was a success in every way and as a kind
ly memory will stay untiL displaced by
its recurrence.
' CHRISTMAS AT ST. JAMES.'
The congregation and Sunday school
of St. James Parish in this village cel
ebrated the great festival of the Chris
tian Church and year with the usual exT
cises. On Tuesday, Christmas Day, th re
was the appointed Christmas service wi h
a sermon and the celebration of the II ly
Communion, the new Rector officiatii;
Thursday, St. John the EvangelUts
day, was the' Sunday school celebration.
The children assembled "at. the Opera
House at 5 o.clock, where sleighs were
provided and the whole school was treat
ed to its usual Christmas sleigh ride, of
an ' hour's duration. Soon after their
return to the Opera House, very brief
devotional exercises were held under
the leadership of the Superintendent.
Mr. S. S; Eddy, assisted by the Rector of
the Parish, who also made a brief addrcas
and interspersed with chants, hymns and
carols. The notable feature of the musi
cal exercises being a carol sung by one
family, the children of Mr. Geo. Gris
brook, ranging from 12 to 2 years of
age, the preformaace of the little ones
eliciting universal commendation. The
devotional exercises being ended a beau
tiful Christmas tree was lighted, and
the bexes of confectionary with which
it was laden, were distributed to' the
children of the school each . class com
up in tneir order, beginning with the
least, and when this had been done the
remaining boxes ' were handed to "the
little wee ones" present, who, although
Mlohging to the congregation; were yet
too young for the Sunday School. About
this time some curious person of the
company found hidden among the thick
foliage a package for Mr. Harry Baker,
which he took care of very quietly, 'and
an elegant copy of Bryant's Poems, a
gift from the teachers and scholars of
the school to the ' efficient superintend
ent, and received with brief but hearty
thanks. ." .
A bountiful supper, provided by the la
dies of the congregation was then served
to which about 75 children first, and af
tervvard 50 of the adult members of the
congregation did ample justice.
'After an hour or two spent in Christ
mas games and frolics the little ones
dispersed to their homes with a . sigh at
the thought that it was "a whole year
until Christmas."
YJlIe the joy of the little ones seemed
unmarred by any sad recollections, we
thought we saw on many an adult face a
shadow that seemed to suggest sad and
icnuer memories or me pasior, wno so
recently passed away from the leader
snip or me congregation to the sunny
land on the other side of the dark river.
