Frank Lenllo's Weekly,
ONE HAPPY REUNION.
Christmas eve, 1703, and bitterly eoM.
It had snowed all the day before and nil
the night, and had only hold up about
noon on the day which was now neariii);
its close.
In those days tho distance from New
York in the direction of what is now the
town of Fordham was traversed by stage
coaches, drawn by spanking four Lorso
teams, traveling by the old Boston pott
road. On this Christmas eve the leaders
plunged and plowed their way through
the snow, snorting and emitting clouds
of steam from their nostrils.
After awhile the vehicle paund be
fore u wayside tavern in Winchester
county, bearing a swinging and anti
revolutionary sign, the presentment cf
a scarlet clad and handsome cavalier,
and the inscription, "Marquis of Ciare
mont Arms." There were but two pas
sengers in the coach that night a tall
traveler in a slouched hat and shaggy
overcoat, and a little girl whom he car
ried in his arms.
As the horses were baited and tho
coachman and groom went in for a
"drop of something hot," the traveler
alighting turned quickly up a road load
ing northward from the inn. The man
Was good looking, though foreign and
sunburned of aspect. Yet ho did not
seem a stranger to the place.
On through the snow clad lanes niul
by the white fences ho went his way,
finally turning up a private walk through
the piled up drifts toward old Deacon
Marshall's homestead.
" 'Tis sweet to hear the honest watch
dog's bark, bay deep mouthed wtljoui
as we draw near home" but this man
fervently prayed that no watchito,; be
aroused by his noiseless approach to iha
old home.
He saw the old farmhouse as he had f:i
often seen it in boyhood, with its red
walls and white capped roof, with t'ue
candle light faintly shining through the
rime of the window panes.
Occasionally a sigh f.o deep as to be
almost a sob burst from the ma:, '3
bosom. The child was hushed and con
tent in its father's arms.
As he passed through tho trim yard
gate, past the old familiar butternut
tree, he said to himself, "They will bo
glad to see her and lovo her; but oh.
Godl it's hard to part with her."
When he reached tho farmhouse door
he set the little one down on her feet in
the square, old fashioned porch.
"Now, baby, remember never to lie
afraid to do what papa tells you to do.
You are going to see grandpa and grand
ma, and when your visit is out papa
will come and bring you lot of sweotie3
and toys. Now you must go right in
when they open the door, and papa will
go away for a little while."
The child clung to him for a moment
a terrible moment to him and then
stood bravely quiet as he gave three
rousing blows to the old brass knocker
and then swiftly retreated into tho
shadow of the trees.
He saw tho door open and an old
white haired man with a candle in his
hand look out. He saw the gleam of
the fireside in the old home for the first
time in many years. He saw tho child,
fearless and confident of welcome, enter,
and then be still, brave heart he saw
his mother, a tall, gentle faced old ma
tron with snow white hair, advance,
stoop and lift the child in her arms ami
kiss it, as one who drinks after long
thirsting.
The door closed, and a few moments
later the man outside was in tli9 ret urn
coach for New York, on his way to be
lost amonttthe unknown thousands of
the great city,
Ten minutes before this scene. Deacon
Marshall and his good wife sa, before
the blazing fire in the clean, sung old
fashioned kitchen, while the busy house
maid, a stout, rosy Dutch lass of eight
een, plied her evening tasks. The ap
petizing Kmell of browning griddlo
cakes and fragrant tea filled the room.
The bitter winds howled outside, en
lancing the blessed sense of home
warmth and comforth.
t "It's mighty bad weather. I hope all
the children will git here tomorrow,
wife," said the deacon.
"All the children, Ezra?" answered
Ithe old lady in a tone of reproach. "You
know one will not be here. I always
think of him in the holidays away out
yonder in Mexico or Toxas among them
outlandish people.
"Oh, Ezra, he was a wild boy and a
headstrong, but there's more sorts of sin
than one, and you were worse thau ho
when yon drove the boy on into the
wide world twenty yean ago twenty
years Ago come New Year's eve."
Had the deacon lived in this age he
would have rung the "chestnut bell,"
(or he had heard sermons from his wife
oa his sorely repented sin full many a
time and oft,
The best of women will preach.
"I have such a strange feeling about
me this minute. I fool ns if my boy was
right here by me," she went on, forget
ting that her "boy" was now a man of
thirty -five or more.
At this instant three startling raps on
the knocker sounded through the old
honae.
"It's that good for notliin Jako Mollon
waiting till this time o' night to fetch
them groceries. Don't leave the slap
jacks, Katrine; I'll open the door.
And the dencon took np a candle and
stalked throngh tho passage to the front
door. He opened it. What a strango
sight to see!
Against the dark background cf n!ght
and storm tho figure of a cherub child,
a woo maid of ilvo years, fair as a pearl,
with bright eager eyes of heavenly blue,
and a soft fleecy mass of pale gold es
caping from her bluo satin hood and
falling over her white fur coat.
She advanced fearlessly and piped out:
"I'm Baby Marshall, and papa's
b'ought me to tlanma. My mniuma's
dead Ion time ago, and las' summer my
brack mammy, Oosy, die, too, and baby
want see dannia."
Another moment and the grand
mother, with I lie thrilling cry of a
woman's soul to an unswored prayer,
lifted her grandchild to hor heart.
Oh, the dear contact! Was it real
the firm, warm, little hand she clasped,
the pressure of the smiling rosy lip.?
"Where is papa? Oh, my dear, where
is papa?" she cried, while the deacon
looked on as one raised from the dead,
and Katrine gazed on tho new found
treasure and thought of the stories she
had read in Dutch folklore of tho angel
of the Christmastide.
"Papa don,"coood tho littlo one. "lie
tnm for baby iiller 'while. Take dis,"
and searching the recesses of her lilllo
pockets she produced a letter.
The grandfather with shaking hands
and faltering tones read:
Moth nit, Draii Motiikh I hi we brought
you my mothrrlws anil only child. 1 know
that you will love oml euro for her as your
own, and 1 don't think eren father will be
hard to her. When 1 want her I will come for
her, but It may bo long years flint, if ever. I
lead an honest but n wild life, aud a Texan
ranoh or a llio Urande camp Is not the alaea
for hor. For my child's sake I part from her.
Re good to her, mother. Your lovtuff son,
Wimjam K. liAiisnAi.t.
A moment later an old man was
struggling through tho snowdrifts to
ward tho village as fast as his rheumatic
legs could carry him. Too late! Ho
only heard the echo of the coachman's
horn as tho horses tore down tho turn
pike to New York.
Baby Marshall was in her grandmoth
er's lap and smiling brightly in hor face.
Katrine piled the table with hot grid
dlo cakes, fragrant tea, sweet but tor and
golden hont y.
Farther and farther the stage carrii.d
tho wanderer from tho old liuuie.

Old Mrs. Mar.hall r.lwiiys walked to
church Christina morning, and r.j Am
listened to I he sweet tide of Bung her
head bent lowly down and a prayer
welled up from tho poor old mother's
soul: "Lord, I have waited so long.
Let me seo my boy's face again before 1
die!"
In that moment tho church clock
chimed 13 meridian.
In that moment, as she recalled after
ward, peace spread its white vings
above her, and an angel vok'o Keened to
whisper, "All is well." When ?ho re
turned the family had assembled for tho
Christmas dinner.
There was linbo, who had .1 pood
farm in tho highlands Kube, the steady
going a broad shouldered, sturdy
Saxon, with his pretty, dark eyed v.-;,'.-.
dressed in a new black silk with a real
laco coll ir and cufTs; Marianno, the belle
of the family, and the youngest, a la?3 of
eighteen, blond, debonair aud roguish,
with her good looking fiance hovering
beside her, tho sou of a well to do farmer
in the vicinity, whoso daughter Marian. io
had just been visiting for a few days.
There, too, was Alfred, tho doctor, a
portly, well meauing man, and a littlo
of a dandy in his dress, s beenmo a
physician and bachelor popular among
the invalid ladies of Westchester.
The deacon trudged in from his oni
meeting hor.io, where minister and dea
con had been holding a private session
of two hours over the backsiidi:ig i f
some poor soul predoomed according; to
their belief to damnation. Thero was a
general handshaking of f,ither and hiss
ing of mother. Tho deacon did not !o
lievo in ki.:sing or indulging ia tho
profane luxury of a sinilo on tie.'
bath day, but Christmas, oven r.ccuvd
ing to his creed, was made for rjoiuing.
Among nil tho family that day a
queen had been enthroned the wait'
who had arrived tho night before. A
big box had couio for her by Sam Do!;ui,
tho carrier, and its contents showed that
tho wild Texan rover had not spared
expense on his littlo daughter. Gay in
blue silk and laco and ribbons, tho little
thing tossed her curls aud beamed de
lightedly, first on one, theu on another,
conscious of being the object of every
body's admiration.
At last she cuddled up in hor grand
mother's arms and fell softly asleep.
Poor grandma! She felt repaid for those
years of waiting and weariness aa siio
fradled the Httle one's head on htr
breaet and brushed her palo face against
tho fluffy, silken hair, Jnst as every
body grsw keeuly hungry Katriue rantf
forth a welcome peal from tho diunor
belL
After the deacon's grace what a chorus
of praiaes went upl Was there ever suoh
a delicious, fat, brown turkey as mother's?
Whoever made such clear jelly? And
the tiny pig roasted whole with tho
apple in its mouth! And the mine pies,
and whole pitchers of russet cfder, icel
cold! l
The perfumes of Araby the blest arose
from the banquet,
But every feast must have its end.
The day lowered as evening came on;
gusty clonds chased each other across
the sky, and Rube, full to repletion,
pushed back his chair and said he must
be "gettin up his team pretty soon, as
he'd promised his wife they'd stay nt
her mother's, scvon miles further up, for
tho night." Just at this moment Ka
trine, who had gone to the well for a
pitcher of frosh water, looked in at tho
door and beckoned mysteriously to old
Mrs. Marshall, which caused her to
make excuse, and loaving tho room to
seek the spot to which the girl pointed.
In the gloaming, beside the old "moss
covered bucket that hung in tho well,"
stood a tall, stalwart man, who, as his
mother advanced, trombliug and uncer
tain, held out his arms.
"Mother! oh, mother!" ho said with a
hoarse sob in his voice.
With such a cry as only a mother
could understand, the poor, fragilo crea
ture threw herself upon the broad, sturdy
bosom of the man before her her lost
child of so many years. What prayors,
what silent tear3, what longings of heart
had drained his mother's life of strength
for his suke!
"Mother, I told you I hod livod on
honest life."
"Willie, do you think I did not feel
that to be so?"
"Well, 1 mean to say that I nm
ashamed to face no one; but when 1
went away that day I expected never to
return until my baby was a young
woman. I wandered down to tho city
and felt lonelier amid all those strange
faces thau 1 would on leagues of prairie
with not a living thing in sight. I
heard the balls of old Trinity chimin
nnd pealing, and j:ist because I was so j
lonesome I turned into tho church. 1
hail not been in such a place for years.
Tho music lifted mo right out of my
self, mother, and as I thought of tho
old homo 1 bowed my head und said z
prayer, tho first for many a year, that I
might return there and find a welcome.
I will always remember that just then
the clock toJ'.ed out 13. It marked tho
hour when I made up my mind to go
home again."
She led him nlong as when he was n
little child up tho olden path into tho
well remembered room.
"My son baby's father has couio
back home!" sho said with a quiver in
her voice, and burst into passionate
tears.
Baby screamed joyously, "Papa!
papa!" Every one rose to their feet
with startled cries of welcomo except
the deacon, who turned ashen pal?, av.J
with a groan fell back in his ch iir. Ili.i
eon sprang to his side. "Why, father."
ho said cheerily, "is this your welcome?'
His lips touched tho whito scant h:;i!s:
a tear glistened on tho old man's face.
"My EMi that was dead n'ld is alive," !
tne deacon murmured. "Thank Gv!!
thank God:" Lizsio P. Cutler in Homy

IN OTHER LANDS.
How tlie Children In Europe Observe
Christmas Day,
In Belgium tho children fill their shoes
with beans and carrots on Christmas
eve, and set them in tho chimney place
for tho good saint s horse. In tho morn
ing they expect to find them filled with
sweetmeats and fruit in return for their
good behavior.
Io Holland the children hang np their
woolen stockings by tho tiled chimney
piece, and then go soberly to bed quite
sure that good Ht. Nicholas will visit
them, providod they do not disturb him
in his visit.
Bohemian children listen anxiously on
Christmas eve for the chariot and white
horses of tho "Christ child" as he comes
flying through tho air with his krippo
full of presents; but tho Italian children
go gravely with their pareuts to churches
and cathedral to see tho bambino, or
saint, who presents them with their
Christmas gifts.
The Spanish children hido their shoes
or slippers in the bushes on Christinas
cvo, and find them filled with fruit and
sugar plums on Christmas morning.
In Franco tho young peoplo stand their
shoos in a convenient place for the gifts
to bo dropped into. Sometimes if tho
shoe of a bad boy is among them ho
finds a whip in it iu the morning, aud be
must le a stupid fellow who cannot take
so sharp a hiut. Very different ara tho
feelings of a German child. He waits
with feelings of mingled awe and pleas
ute for the coming of two important
personages tho "Christ child" and tho
"Knocht Iluppert." The lattor person
questions naughty children oad threat
ens them with punishment til? tho
"Christ child's" intercession saves the
culprit and wins its pardon. Then theso
two Christmas apparitions lay dowi.
their burdens of gifts and depart.
In romo parts cf Germany tho good
s.dr.t will lrivo a Christmas troo bril
liantly illuminated with wax candles to
hang its it'ts on. Ho is not satisfied
rimply wi.h tho i tocking in the chim
ney, aud it is froin this whim of his
saintsliip that the custom has spread into
other counti-ies and come over to our
own. The Chrit-luias treo of today, how
ever, is only a successor to its prototye.
tho ancient legendary ydgnatil, or eter
nal tree, that had ita root j i:i oarth aud
its top in heaven.
Iu Germany tho schoolboys and chor
isters make tho midnight air ring with
their merry carols. The "Threo Kings
of tho Last, the Angel Gabriel and tho
btar Singers" parade tho streets, and
similar procesuions go about in Italy,
Franco and tfpain. Iu former years,
and perhaps even now in some localities
in England, the Christmas waits young
la.ls make the air vocal with lovely
Christuiaj carol.), but in our country
those nie reserved to by heard iu church
and Sunday school, und sometimes tliey
