GIDEON GEINDEMII CICIUSTUAIL
BY JA3!KS D. M'CABE, JR
The white-faced clock on the City Hall
stared grimly out into the night, and its
truthful hands informed the people in
the neighberhood that it was eleven
o'clock on Christmas eve. It was a gen
uine old-fashioned Chrititmas at that,
and the streets of New York were white
with snow, and the wind was whirling
the drifts about fantastically, to the evi
dent discomfort of the old apple and hot
corn women by the Park railing, who
h.
lingered at theirposts in spite of the late
ness of the hou , hoping to turn anotifer
penny from le passer-by before mid
night. , T e old ballad-vender had pack
ed up his stock in trade and betaken
himself homeward long ago, and moat of
the New Yorkers had followed his ex
ample, so that the streets were almost
desertal.
000 to I 00
One man, at least, was abroad In the
storm and as he turned into a gate of the
Pit.rk to make a short cut over to Broad
way, where the stages were, still run
ning, the old apple woman, thinking
she might find in him another customer,
began a,pitiful petition to him to buy of
her wares, when he turned to her sharp
ly, and the lamplight fell fall upon his
face. A glance satisfied the woman, and
it needed nothis cold rebuff' to cause her
to shrink back from him with a fright
ened look. The man passed over to
Broadway, and pausing a moment for a
stage to come up, entered the clattering
vehicle, as if totally
\ unconscious of the
presence of the other s passengers. His
entrance seemed to cast a chilling influ
epee over them, for soon they grew si
lent, and wrapping their coats and
shawls closer around therg,svvondered if
it was not growing colder.
At last the stage paused,, and the man
descended from it. Turning inte s a cross
street, and walking slowly as if chteless
of the storm, he reached a large brawn
stone mansion, where he tang the hell.
The door was opened by a fine-looking
servant in livery ; but as soon as he saw ,
the man, the, domestic shrank back tim
idly, and made room for him to enter.
Throwing off his overcoat and hat and
divesting himself of his wet boots, the
man gave them to the servant:
"A cup of tea, David, in the library,",
he said, coldly, as he passed into a luau
rlou.ly furnished apartment opening
from the hall.
It was a beautiful room, and great
taste had been displayed'. in Its adorn
ment. The book-cases and furniture
were of the choicest kinds, an open fire
burned in tke handsome grate, and even
to the minutest article, everything was
in its place. Perfect order reigned
throughout, but there was in everything
that coldness and sternness that marked
the owner of so much comfort.
The man drew a large arm-chair before
the grate, and sinking into it, raised his
feet to the tire. He never looked about
him, but kept his gaze fixed.steadily be
fore him. Only once he raised his eyes
to glance at a portrait which hung over
the mantel. It was a woman's face—a
face so pure and tender in its loveliness,
that one could but wonder if it was real
ly that cf a human being. Only once
the man gazed at It, and as he did so his
eyes filled with tears, and his cold, hard
mouth wore an expression of intense
pain. Then he sank Leek in his chair,
and his eyes fell upon the fire. The do
mestic entered and placed the refresh
ments his master had ordered on a small
stand at his side, and seeing the man so
wrapped in thought, withdrew noise
lessly, without disturbing him, and still
with that frightened, timid look be had
first worn.
He was a very lonely man, this Gide
on Grindem, in spite of all his wealth.
He was a proud, cold man, and his un
happiness was chiefly of his own ma
king. Years ago he had married a wo
man much younger than himself, but
such a woman as one meets but once in a
lifetime, and having seen, can never for
get. Had she lived, he might have been
happier and better, but she had been
dead twelve years, and no other living
being had filled her place in the mer
chant's heart. She had left him one
child, and despite his-coldness, he had
lavished upon this little one a love only
less strong than he had borne her moth
er. At eighteen this girl bad married,
against his will, a poor clerk that he had
taken into his employ: He had cast her
off forever, and now her name was never
mentioned in his house. For four years
he had not seen her lacerate , once, when
she came one cold winter night to beg
for aid and forgiveness. He crushed the
yearning of his heart for her, and turned
her into the street, as he would have
done to a dog that had strayed into his
house. It was a cruel act, and since
then he had been harder and sterner
than ever. He had no friends. His ac
quaintances shunned him, and sought
his presence only when business made it
necessary. No visitor ever crossed his
threshold ; no happy sounds or lights
were ever heard or seen wlthtri the walls
of his dwelling. Even his se is fear
ed and avoided him. He was alone in
the wide world, and he knew It. He
knew he must live alone, and that
when he came to die, he must go to the
grave with not one loving or pitying
heart to cheer his last moments, or miss
him when he was gone. It was a sad,
sad thought to him, and somehow it
came to him to-night with redoubled
force. This was why his eyes clouded
and his face twitched with pain when
he looked at the picture of his dead wife.
The refreshments by his side remain
ed untouched, and the merchant sat with
his hands folded wearily, and his eyes
fixed on the fire—so still, so tranquil,
that one might have thought him asleqp.
And as he eat there, through the storm,
and through the closed and curtained
windows of the room, came the sweet
tones of the midnight chimes of Trinity.
The music of the bells tilled all the air,
rising and falling with the wind. It was
a glad and solemn song they sung, for it
was a glad and solemn tale they told;
for they told that the Christ-child' was
born.
"Gideon Grindem!"
The voice was so soft, and yet so dis
tinct and sweet, that it thrilled the mer
chant to his inmost soul, "Gideon
Cirindem," the voice mid, "are you
glad that Christmas has come again ?"
The voloe came from the flrei and the
•merchant glanced down at the hearth.
There, standing just below him, was a
strange but beautiful figure. It seemed
like au angel, for its face was radiant
with purity and beauty, and its gar
ments were of spotless white. It was
scitrcely a foot high, and its eyes were so
small that they seemed like diamond
points. Yet. they -looked straight into
the merchant's soul, and read all that
was passing there, and the proud man
knew it, and shuddered.
"Gideon Grindeni," said the voice
again, "are you glad that Christmas has
come?"
This time the tone was so renzoachful
that the tears started to Gideon Grind
em's eyes, and he bowed his Bead and
replied:
"Alas! Of all the world, I alone have
nothing to rejoice for to-night."
"Listen to me," said the little figure,
softly. "I am Conscience, and I have
come to speak with you. We haVA been
strangers for a long time, but I have
come back to you again. You must hear
me to-night, for you cannot drive me
away until morning; and 0, if you are
wise, Gideon (.:indent, do not drive me
away then."
The merchant satedlent and trembling.
He knew he was powerless, and he could
not take his eyes from the little figure on
the hearth. But It was little no longer,
for it grew In size every moment, until
it assumed a gigantic fortn, and a mien
so stern and terrible that ' the merchant
almost shrieked with terror as he gazed
at it. Yet he could not turn his eyes
away. One thing only remained un
changed ; the voice of the figure was as
sweet and solemn as ever. The mer
chant felt that he would give all his
wealth to escape from its presence, but
he could not move a limb.'
"What do you want with me?" he
gasped.
"I will show you," said the figure, sol
emnly. "Come with me!"
The merchant felt a strong hand grasp
him by the Moulder, and the next mo
ment he was borne through space with a
speed so rapid that it deprived him of
the ability to cry out Suddenly there
was a pause, and lie opened his eyes.
He started in astonishment at the scene
before him.
It was a little plainly fianislied room.
Everything betokened contentment,
though at the same time an absence of
riches. A bright fire burned in the open
'rate, and the soft light of a pleasant
inuip lit up the room. A woman, neith
ernid nor young, sat by the tire, and at
her feet knelt a child, with his. little
hande, folded in prayer. There was a
look of quiet happiness in the pale face
of the woman, and her soft eyes were
bent tenderly upon the child at her feet,
as he whispffed his prayer so low that
only she awl \ the angels heard it. The
merchant gaz i eti at the seen , • in utter be
wilderment. Then his eyes grew mi , ty,
and a great sob welled up from his
heart. He hid recognized the two—the
boy was himself, and the woman was
his mother.
"Do you ever pray now, Gideon Grind
em asked the voice of the figure ; and
the merchant knew that OunFcletice wits
still with him.
"Pray !" he shrieked. "Pray omy
God!" • '
The woman turned to him slowly, and
he stretched out his hands imploringly.
"0 mother, mother!" he sobbed.
"Let me be your innocent boy again P'
But the sweet face clouded with a look
of mingled sternness and hprror, and
the hand thai bad rested Qo tenderly up
on the boy's head was raised with a re
pellant gesture. Tile merchant shrank
back with a green, and the vision fa
ded.
"It is a terrible thing, Gideon Grind
em," said the voice of Conscience, "for a
parent to turn away from a child."
The merchant shuddered. He was
thinking of his own child, and how he
bad turned from her prayer for Mercy.
The figure laid its hand on him and
drew tam away. •He knew they were
now in New York again, and that they
were hurrying through the city in the
midst of the stOrm; for he could feel the
MOW driving furiously in his face, and
the_ keen wind chilled him through and
through. They passed into one of the
lowest quarters of the city, and entered
a miserable dwelling. The figure led
him up long flights of stairs, until final
ly they entered a chamber, so wretched
and mean, that the merchant shrank
back with disgust.
A flickering tallow dip shed a feeble
light through the room, adding to its
misery an hundred fold. On a low bed
a man lay, wall and emaciated. A wo
man sat by the candle, sewing
her pale, wan face seeming even more
ghastly by the uncertain light; and on a
low pallet two children lay asleep—for
the while unconscious of the suffering
around them.; The fire in the stove was
dying away, and the. room was growing
colder every moment. Gideon Grindern
gazed with horror at the scene, and
turned to fly from it, but the figure laid
Its hand heavily upon him, and drew
him up close beside the sorrowful wo
man, as she sat sewing her life away;
and as he gazed, the merchant saw that,
in spite of the marks of care rind suffer
ing which it bore, the woman's face way
wonderfully like that of his dead wife.
No wonder, for the woman was his
daughter. A cold sweat stood on his
brow, and his heart seemed to stop still.
It was fearful to stand thus and gaze on
such a dreadful scene.
A slight movement of the mau to the
bed caused the woman to look up.
"Are you awake, George?" she asked
"I have not been asleep, darling," re
plied the man, sadly. "I cannot rest for
thinking, and the knowledge that I am
so helpless makes me' wretched. OUr
fuel is out, and we can get no more until
the day after to-morrow, and we shall
freeze in this weather, and on Christmas
day, too. I could bear it myself, Nellie;
but when I think of you and the chil
dren—"
His voice failed him, and be sobbed
with bitter - anguish. The woman drop
ped her work and bent over him, trying
to soothe him.
"We must trust in God, George," she
whispered. "He will not desert us."
"If your father was human, if he were
not a bend—" exclaimed her husband,
fiercely ; but she interrupted him.'
"Ile is my father, George," said the
wife, 'softly. "I forgive him all the
wrong he has done us, and I pray Gott
to bless him and soften his heart."
Gideon Grindem groaned, and turn
ing to the ague, orlesl imploringly :
"/At as<go ItWaY.! Pulno4 bear thial"
The figure silently led him from thy
50TH YELII.--310. 11,
room, and down the long stairs, out Into
the street again. It was no longer night
there. for the sun wa_s shining brightly,
and the thoroughfares were thronged with
busy crowds hurrying to their accustom
ed avocations. The air was keen and
frosty, and the extra wrappings and
comforters which the people acre, assur
ed the merchant that it N% it 4 very cold.
The figure led him into a large, store
on GAO of the business streets, and only
stopped when they reached the counting-
room, where several merchants were col
lected around the stove. Gideon Grind
em and his companion paused beside
them, hut the gentlemen did not seem
conscious of their presence.
"What was that you said about Gideon
Grindent ?" asked oni•.
"I said he is a beartlem brute!" reptied
another.
'What now thing has he done?"
"He has killed his daughter, and her
husband, and children. Tht froze to
death yesterday, in a mism'able hovel
near East River. Think of it—on Christ
mas day, too--and old Grindem' lolling
in his sumptuous home!"
"He has a tough conscience," said the
first speaker ; "but T would not like to
be in his place when he comes to die."
Gideon Griudern's heart stood still
"It is true," said the figure solemnly.
"In the sight of llod you have murdered
your children!" •
The merchant's brain seemed on fire,
and he shrieked aloud with anguish, for
the terrible words burnt into his soul
like red-hot irons. The figure at his side
was so stern, so terrible, that he could
not bear to look at it.
"Have merry on me!" he groaned.
"My heart is breaking !"
"Your heart, miserable man ex
claimed the figure, sternly. "Would
you see your heart?" And without
waiting for a reply, the figure
,piaced its
hand heavily on-the merchant's head,
and bowed it so that it seemed to turn
his eyes inward. He could but look,
and, to his horror, he saw in the place
where his heart should have been, a hhi
eous mass of corruption, so foul, so hor
rible, that he shuddered to lobk ut it.
"It has changed greatly since you gave
it to your dead wife, tildeor, (Irindem,"
said the figure sadly.
"Have mercy on me!" the merchant
pleaded.
"Were you merciful to your child?"
asked Conscience, sternly. "Have you
kept the vow you made to your dead
wife, to love and protect her child al
ways?"
The merchant was silent. He knew
he had been pitiless and cruel.
"Come with me," continued the figure,'
"and I will show you what shall be the
end of all this." .
Again the merchant felt himself borne
swiftly along, and when he opened his
eyes again, he found himself in' his own
home.
He Stood in his chamber, alai involun
tarily he marked the contrast between
its luxurious comforts and the miaeruble
garret in which his daughter had frozen
to death. He maw, to his surprise, his
desk, where he kept his private papers
and a considerable sum of money, open,
and one of his servants searching eager
ly among the contents: He tried to
spring forward to stop the man, but he
could not move, and when . he endeavor
ed to speak, his voice failed him. The
figure pointed silently to the bed, and
Gideon Grindem looked helplessly in
that direction.
A man lay on the bed, silent and Ivo-
onlees. His hands were clasped route-
Jy on his breast, and his eyes were wide
open and staring blankly at the ceiling.
Gideon Grindem bent over and traced at
• e countenance, but he shrank back in
horror and dismay. Never bad lie seen
such a look of despair as that dead man's
face wore. „So still, so terrible was it,
that it seemed to be something supernat
ural. The merchant shrank back with
a groan; for, the face upon which he
looked was biaown.
"le Lbie in be the end?" he mnaned
"This will be the end," said the figure,
solemnly. "To ilie„alone, neglected and
unloved, and without hope hereafter.
God help you, unhappy man!"
The figure slowly faded away, and
Gideon Orindem looked up with a start.
He was sitting in his library, with the
untested refreshments on the stand by
his side, and the embers cold and lifeless
in the grate before him. The gas was
burning in the chandelier with a sickly
glare, and through the curtained win•
dows streamed the broad full light otthe
Christmas sun. The merchant rubbed
his eyes and stared around vacantly.
Then his gaze rested on the portrait of
his dead wife, over the mantel-piece.
The golden sunshine fell lovingly upon
her face, and the eyes of the woman who
had been so dear to him, seemed full of
sweetness and tenderness as they shone
down upon him, carrying light straight
into his heart that had been so dark.
Involuntarily lie placed his hand on libs
heart, and remembered how he had seen
it, then a great soh burst from him, and
he cried:
"0, God be thanked: it wius but a
dream."
Another look into the dear eyes of the
woman who hadloved him, and he sank
down on his knees and bowed his head
lowly and reverently. Gideon Grindem
was praying.
It was still early Morning when the
handsome carriage of the merchant drove
by the Park on its way to East River.
The old apple woman, rejoicing in the
sunlight that had followed the storm,
was spreading her warm on her table,
when she was startled to see the hand

tremblingly, and when the merchant
bade her cheerily, hold out her
hand, she obeyed because she feared to

when she saw lying in her withered
palm a bright golden eagle, which spar
kled joyously in the Christmas sunlight.
"W4t is this for, sir?" abs faltered
"To keep Christmas with, old lady,"
said the merchant, cheerily. He signed
to the driver to move on, but as the car
riage set off again, he caught a faint
"God bress you, sir!" in the tearful
tones of the old woman.

MONTPELIER, Vt., Dee. 11.—One. of
the most fearful aecidents known In the
annals of Vermont occurred to-day," ut
Harlow Bridge near Northfield, on the
line of the Vermont Central Itailraod.
The bridge was burned on Sunday morn
ing, and ilurfeg the week about 100 moo
have been engaged in rearing a trestle
work for temporary floe. Most of the
employees having dined tq-day at North •
field, were returning to work about, 1
miles from the town, In a passenger car,
which was being backed up to the work.
By some Inconceivable forgetfulneas the
engineer proceeded with them at a rapid
rate, and did not check hie speed until
too late, and the whole ear with It+
freight of 70 to 100 men .wan hacked oft'
the abutment into the river below, a dis"-
tance of sixty feet.
As the centre of the car struck the
brink of the precipice, it broke into three
pieces, the roof sliding forward and half
the body falling seventy feet to the river
bed. About twenty-ft ve men were spill
ed nut in a pile ou n shelving rock twen
ty-five feet below the track, the rear half
of the car falling Upon them and the
tender upon that. It. was there that
most of the deaths occurred. About ten
persons saved themselves by jumping
from the car. Scarcely any &leaped ser
ious injury
The number of casualties is appalling.
Fifteen men were instantly killed, and
three or four have s s inee died ; and some
forty others arc more or less injured,
ninny seriously and some fatally. The
ea , uultles consist of broken arms sod legs,
dislocations, cute` burns, and bruises.
A special train front this city carried
up physicians and help. Those failing
with the half of the cur that lirst.went
over the entire seventy' feet are mostly
all living. There are many minas
afloat censuring the engineer, but many
believe thnt when ho whistled 1.0 stop

WE heard a laughable anecdote of a
"man with a big foot." He was a But
falonian, who must be tithe now, for a
man with a. 4 good a hold on the ground
is mit likely to drop (dr in a hurry. Om •
day he stepped into the bundi shop of a
hoot-maker in the nourishing capital of
old Erle, and asked Crispin If he could
make him a pair of boots. Looking at
his long pedal extremities, and then at. a
huge uncut cow hide that hung on tho
wall, he said :
"Well, yes, I guess so."
"What time will you have them done?
To-day is Monday."
"Well. it'll depend on circumstances;
T guess Tenn have 'em done for you by
Saturday."
On Saturday, therefore, the man eat ted
for his boots.
"HaVs you got 'em (lone?" said he as
he entered the little shop:
"No, I haVn't —I couldn't—it has min
ed every (lay since I took your measure."
"Rained!" exclaimed the astonished
patron, "well, what of that, what had
that to do with it?"
"What had that to do with it?" Leh
oed Crispin, "it had a good deal to do
with it. When i make your boots I've
got to go out doors, for I haven't room
in my shop, and I can't work out of doors
in rainy weather."
