AT CHRYSTEMASSC TYDE.

"Two sorrie Thynges there be—

Ay, three;

A Neste from which ye Fledglings have been taken, A Lambe forsaken,

A redde leaf from ye Wilde Rose rudely shaken.

"Of gladde Thynges there be more—

A Larke above ye olde Neste blythely singing,
A Wilde Rose clinging

In safety to a Rock: a Shepherde bringing
A Lambe, found, in his armes, and Chrystemasse
Bells a-ringing."

The nimble lie

Is like the second-hand upon a clock;
We see it fly, while the hour-hand of truth
Seems to stand still; and yet it moves unseen,
And wins at last, for the clock will not strike
Till it has reached the goal.

-Longfellow.

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.
