"This is Christmas-time, you know, and that is just the time for story-telling," I added. "I trust it is a story suitable to the season," said Mrs. Cathcart, smiling. "Yes, very," I said; "for it is a child's story a fairy tale, namely; though I confess I think it fitter for grown than for young children. I hope it is funny, though. I think it is."

Rejoice in the Lord always. PHILIPPIANS iv. 4. This is the beginning of the Epistle for to-day, the Sunday before Christmas.

About Christmas-time a great change took place in the household. In the course of one of his many journeys Mr Lee met with a serious accident. It was not pronounced serious at the time of its occurrence, but it became so through neglect. It was painful as well as dangerous, and confined him to the house during the greater part of the winter. From this time Christie's duties became more arduous.
"It's Christmas-time, Harry," said his wife, "and you should endeavor to forgive your neighbors." "What sort of a Christmas will it be if you and I, and these young fellows here, and Kate, are all burned out of Gangoil? Here's Bates. -Well, Mr. Bates, how goes it? "Tremendous hot, Sir." "We've found that out already. You haven't heard where that fellow Boscobel has gone?" "No; I haven't heard.
Turn we once again to the great wilderness, and if we do so with half the zest felt by Big Otter when he set forth on his journey, we will certainly enjoy the trip, you and I, whoever you be. But we must take the journey at a bound. It is Christmas-time once more. Lake Wichikagan has put on its top-coat of the purest Carrara marble.
