THE EVENING DAILY TELEGRAPH- TRIPLE SHEET PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DEUEM.BER 2i, 18K. 9 Ut, I'm a mean, oowardly, cruol a recu!ar tragodj uncle, in fact." j'A.1Adear unol."al Milljr'of oourse wa didnt know. And you were only in joke, after all. ' ' ' "Well, my dear, I'm not so mire of that; bat a ninu mayn't marry his grandmother, You know; and I rather think there's a simi lar foolifih prejudioe as rogaida nieces. So, on the whole, perhaps it's just as well yon uidn t say yes. "I'm sure I heartily bog your pardon, brother-in-law," said Mr. Todd. "You won't bear malice for words said under a mistake, I'm sure." "Well, I'm not quite certain whether I will or I won't," said Mr. Hawkins. "I shonld like to punch that young rascal's head for calling me an old humbug, but I'm afraid I fchould got the worst of it. ' "I'm yery sorry, sir," began Charley. "No, you're not, my dear bov; or if you we, yoa need n't be," said Mr. Hawkins. "It vas an old man's joke, and I rather think I taw the fun of it better than you did." "But I had always heard you were dead, Hawkins," said Mr. Todd. "'Many a time my poor wife used to talk and cry oyer her only brother, who was thought to have been drowned at sea." VI ought to hay been, by rights," said Uncle Tom. "I've been in three shipwrecks, bat I was preserved, probably for a higher and drier fate. I've been a digger, and a storekeeper, and a good many other things besides. I'll tell you all my adventures, one of these days. And now I've made as much aa I caie to make. Yes that twenty thousand pounds is a fact. Miss Milly, and I've come to Ln gland to enjoy myself with my nephews and nieces. So you won't marry me, eh '" Milly shook her head saucily. 4 'Well, then, as I've set my hoart on a wedding, I suppose you must marry some body else. I think I know somebody who'll find that security, Mr. Charley, though you did call mo a canting old humbug. No thanks! don't like 'em; always makes me feel as if I was being tickled and wasn't allowed to laugh. Milly, little woman, if you're very good, you and I will take a run out of town the very first fine day, and see if we can't find that same cottage we were talk ing about small garden in front, and the name of John Todd on the door, you know." In spite of Uncle Tom's objection to thanks thero was a simultaneous outburst of grateful joy the overflow of happy hearts. John Todd squeezed his brother-in-law's left hand, while Charley Collins violently shook his right, and Milly, with both arms round his , zieck, kissed him repeatedly. Miss Tinnifer wept so violently that her small pocket-handkerchief looked as if it had been recently washed, and not recently dried. The excitement rather increased than diminished in intensity, and Uncle Tom was in a fair way to be literally smothered with caresses, when the door suddenly opened and Alias rinmters brother, in a white and pecu liarly airy costume, stalked into the room. The unfortunate man had waked from his first sleep with an uneasy sense that the pro mised pudding, with the hope of which he had been beguiled to rest, had not been duly furnished; and he had therefore risen at once, without the formality of dressing himself, to claim his due. There was an ex clamation of astonishment followed by a shout of inextinguishable laughter, and then Miss Finnifer, with much presence of mind, seized the table-cover, and hurriedly draping it round the intruder, marched him back to bed. For a little while longer the little parly sat around the fire, talking of the hard times East, and the pleasant times to come, and earing the story of the tempest-tossed life, come to an anchor at last. And then the time for "good-by" oame, and as with loving kisses and hearty hand-shakes, they said "good night," the chimes from a neighbor ing church tower rang out midnight, and Christmas day was over. And Uncle Tom, reverently doffing his hat, said: "Thank God for a merry Christmas." "Amen!" said Charley Collins. "Amen!" said John Todd, "with all our hearts, amen !" Thank God for Christmas ! So say we all, and God help him who cannot say Amen ! For peace and good-will, for the quiokened pulse of charity, for quarrels reconciled and love renewed, the golden gifts of Christmas, God be thanked. Thanked, not alone with oar lips, but with our hands and our hearts, by spreading these golden gifts, that other may thank Him too. None is so poor but that, onoe a year at least, he may be a "rich uncle" to somebody; none bo joyless but that he may catch a reflected ray of happiness, by doing something, be it ever so little, to make merry Christmas in the heart of anether.
