Sweet Christmas Time. Bweet Christmas time, When church bells chime And songs of praise are heard ; When old friends meet, When fond hearts beat, And ev'ry pulse is stirred. When pifts are made, ‘Whan vows are paid, And joy alone is king ; When eyes grow bright, When cares seem light, Aud tender mem 'ries oling. The church bells ring, The children sing, The presents deck the tree; The fives glow, The viands flow Vhat day could brighter be? To lively air The young and fair Whirl o'er the creaking floor; The old, gray men In thought again Live all their childhood o'er. Sweet Natal Day ! Let none, we pray, Forget its inspiration; A Child was born On Christmas morn, And brought the world salvation! Frank H. Stauffer. A Chance Introduction. A CHRISTMAS STORY. holiday! What made it the more exasperating was that 1 happened to be on my way to visit some friends who had with them a young lady guest who had been described to me as such a paragon of loveliness and worth that 1 had quite settled it in my mind that she was des tined to prove the “ inexpressible she” om I had hitherto sought in vain. : Fordville! Where had I heard the before, and what association had with the place? Diving deep into the reessses of my memory, I made the rather ‘startling discovery that I had once actually had a correspondent in Fordville. It happened in this way: A few months back a manueript had been put into my hands for examina- tion which, as I at once perceived, was the venture of a very young lady, whom I subsequently discovered to be a certain Miss Nellie Temple. This fact was stated in a confidential note to the aditor, the young authoress de- siring that only her nom de plume (a sweetly sentimental one) should be given to the workl. After reading her story, 1 had written to the young lady, and the contents of my letter I now found it rather irksome to recall. After a somewhat more lenient criticism of her munuseript thin was usual, 1 had been compelled t) write and decline the hover of its publication. 1 had chosen this task myself instead of in- trusting it to the corresponding clerk, because I had an irresistible desire, which I hardly knew how to explain to myself, “to let her down gently,” asthe phrase is. The fact is, the little letter that had accompanied the story interested and pleased me in inverse ratio to the effect of the work itself. The letter was girlish, natural and frank, while the story was arti- ficial, mawkish and dismal. All the and all the hopes desolate and unre- proached the young lady. As I looked was standing in the same attitude, holding the scarf in her hand, a marked Shang | had come over her face, which now looked profoundly amazed. As 1 approached her, however, she responded very prettily to my bow, and when 1 swept off my hat with flattering deferentinlness and ex- plained that Uncle Davy had intrusted me with the honored mission of bring- ing him his scarf, she handed it to me with a very becoming flush and smile and thanked me with a demure court esy. I did not feel at all like turning my back upon her and returning to the nothing else to be done; my hat Uncle Davy and delivered the scarf. The old man received his present with so 1 replaced ously shouting his thanks across the street, turned and enterad the house for the purpose, as he explained, of ex- hibiting his searlet trophy, vanished down the narrow hall I heard him eall out : “ Wife, where are you? Come and | soe the pretty present Miss Nelly Tem- ple has sent mo.” Miss Nelly Temple! Here was a surprise. 1 remembered now that 1 had heard him call her Miss Nelly, but had been so @ grossed at the tin 1e that the name had not struck me, and existence of high-tragedy my melancholy authoress. How young could And | raised my eves to draw the contrast, only to discover that she had disap peared, 1 hesitated for a moment as to my course, but as I recalled the very grate ful and admirable tone of her last letter to me, which had convinced me at the time of its receipt that she had put me on a pxdestal along with Emerson, Holmes and Longfellow, 1 thought 1 might venture to take a decisive step, so, without more ado, I took my w ay again the street, and w alking bodily up the steps, knocked at the door. As did I caught sight some scarlet ribbons screened behind the muslin curtains the window going on the porch, which now, how- ever, quickly disappeared. Then 1 could hear, where I stood, a whi spered conference in the hall, and then, in a minute more, the door was opened, not very wide, by a negress, who regarded me rather wrathfully as I said com- posedly: “I want tosee Miss Nellie Temple, if you please. “ Well, you can't see her then, sah,” was the prompt reply. “Why not ?” I asked, quietly. “'Cause she says you'll have to ex- cuse her, You can'tsee her,” she re- peated with emphasis. It was clear that she resented my vist as an intru- sion and felt called upon to protect her young mistress, * But I am very anxious to see her, 1 said, urge ntly. “Take her my card.” I produced one and handed it to her, {ETORS of Si of then took it from me with a jerky mo- tion, saying, in an audible undertone : “She ain’ gwine come,” and disap- peared with it, And now the notes of another voice smote upon me clear and low, pressive of a subdued resentment. “1 don't care to see the card,” it “1 cannot see the gentleman; to be inspected by them, but I found that they were all her willing slaves and her approval of me was the only guarantee they required. Indeed they were, one and all, so unconventional and unworldly that I felt a little uneasy at the thought of my dear little Nelly's being without a more capable pro tector, and not averse to assuming the position myself. 1 wrotetomy friends and made some convenient excuse for not joining them, and spent all my holiday in Fordville. At my own request one evening Nelly brought out the familiar manu soript and we read it over together, 1 managed to Keep down my irreverent { lnughter at its reiterated sighings and sobbings and complainings.

Treachery and bad fath, Maximilian was a prince, a sailor, a poet, and more—a noble, honorable man, faithful to his word and feeling no sacrifice too great to uphold it.
