Christmas Eve, and what Came of
. ' c:ot
BY MAT FINSLF.Y. . '••••
. Not- many years ago, in the month of
June, when the -Bellevie House was yet
one of the principal hotels
. of our then
comparatively quiet bbrough, a. stranger
might have been seen emerging,from the
LhaSte to Seetii-e
some object, or to complete some definite
arrangements with the landlord. The
evening train west bad just left the de
-pot, au'l the 'Porter soon after began to
disposelof the surplus' baggage, which
bud been left iu charge of the baggage
master.. The mass consisted of sundry
bundles, bores and ;maks. Among tho
latter was one of superior strength, and
evidently the property of one, whose care
for his own comfort was scrupulously ex
exact. Its weight, as the staggering and
groaning of the porter fully proved,might
have led him to suppose that its contents
were more than more wardrobe property.
'Upon one end were the initials of the own
er's name in clear, bold Roman letters—
"H. C." "
Mr. Harry Clearfield, for such was the
name of the new arrival, quickly commu
nicated-his wishes ty• the , accomodatiug
landlord, when they together left to find
a suitable room upon the second floor.
The trunk was ordered up and Harry was
fixed for the night in the eastern room,
fronting on ''..Walnut street. The room,
vacant and 'unoccupied fur. a long time,
seemed cheerless, and was pervaded with
that peculiar oder, which reminds one of
unfriendly . absence. The windows were

trees and with the cool eveuin•_

quarters,i and after arranging his ward
robe, and disposing of the tew necessa•
ries vAth - Comploto a gentleman's toilet,
he descended to the hall, and thence to
the piazza. With that sense of loneliness
which-a stranger in a strange place always
feels, Mr. Clearfield looked about him
for something to engage his time and at
temion. Picking u? the paper lee glanc
ed over 'the locals; and finding thean
notincemeut of a minstrel performance at
the Hall—the minstrel troupes generally
:leave the large cities during the heated
term—lfe'saunteded leisurely down the
street, vatching closely the faces he met
and passed, and now and then stopping in
front of some store to admire, ur within
himself it; criticise,- the 'display of goods.
Hewes a strangeruo one knew him ;
yet be,attracted no little attention. ,His
tall and graceful form, his luxuriant black
hair, his faultless dress, and his dignified
bearing s :with an honesty of expression iu
calffib*of,ieigning diseeit, caused many
to tiiii.4l:lAquclind:', remark the advent of
" the good-loOking fellow."
The Hull was crowded to witness the
- minstrel' perforinance. The troupe, en
courage4,l4 a 'Urge and appreciative au
dience, sustained their eastern prestige,
and at the end of the performance were
greeted .with ;boisterous approval. Just
as Harry_ , ,was leavinithe step of Ate Hull
the ery'4;f . "cre; fire 1". was hedid - in the
distance. - Thula - rut sprad with tli . •C
rapid
ity of thewind, The firemen were.ont in an
instant: The;town was thrown Mgo the
wildest excitement. Three liptises were
already on fire, and a fourth wal , threat 7
(med. The wild flames were' daiti4 •upt
ward through the roof, and bursting eut
at almost every window. The sight was
a grand one. With the cries of helpless
women and'ehildren, the shouts of the
excited firemen, the calli` for help, and
the cracking and falling of the• burning
timbers, it'was an evening long to be re;
membered. But a feeling of terror and
dumb stupor ran through, the hearts of
the excited crowd as the clouds of smoke
rolled away and revealed the indistinct
form of a human being standing before an
open window crying for help. It•was a
child; around, above and beneath the
mad flames were devouring the dry, tins
hers. What was to be done ? Despite
the efforts of the firemen the flames gained
slowly. No one was so bold as to venture
to save the child. No time was to be lost.
Ten minutes more and all hope-of rescu
ing the child would be goat.. Brave fire
men stood with ropes and ladders—stood
chained with sympithy and fear. To
move imperiled life; to delay would sac
rifice one.
At this moment Harry Clearfield, see
ing the terrible truth, rushed to the scene,
and grasping the ladder with au iron
hand sprang to the rescue. It was an
Awful moment. The crowd stood in
breathless, painful silence,. With his
strong right arm be clasped the terror
stricken child to his side, and with a feel
ing of desperation made a fearful leap to
escape the burning heat of the flames be
low pan. 'Mid the wildest screams of the
exited people, he placed the rescued
child in the arms of its almost frantic pa
rent, and was borne, to the nearest ,house,
fainting and outdone The 'exertion had
been too much for him. He soon be
came unconscious and then fell into a
deep troubled sleep.
" Who is he ?" and " Where-does he
come from ?" were the universal inquiries
of an admiring, excited and grateful peo
ple.
A physician was called in, and admin
istered the usual restoratives applied in
such cases, but without effect. A raging
fever had set in. The terrible excitement
of the evening WAS too much for average
strength. For a week there was no other
signs of life than mere respiration. The
critical period was . past, and Harry, was
slowly recovering. But long before, he
was able to rise, his name had been ,whis 7
pored everywhere. It was a household
word. harry Clearfield had a place in
the heart of every, mother. , The children
named him as the , wonderful lien), .and
.--fathers learned to praise-his -nianly- sac.;
rifice.
A month passed and Harry was about
again. A whole town bestowed its warm
est encomiums.of praise upon his charac
ter. His heroic deed in rescuing a life
Crone devouring flames, was the only in
troduction into society he needed. His
whole character was in keeping with
his heroism. Everwhere, wherever
he went., he was a universal favorite.
Harry engaged in business and met
with all the success which his noble dis
position and manly character deserved.
His position in the social circle, the pres
tige which he had acquired by his hero
ism, and the advantages which his person
al appearance and manly physique gave
him, made him an especial favorite with
the ladies everywhere. The social circle
was not complete without him. The fes
tivities of select parties were not relished
unless his presence contributed a large
quota of pleasure. The pie-vies were or
ganised and conducted to suit his tastes
and convenience. The excursion parties
consulted his wishes, in short he was the
unassuming social power, without throne
or sceptre, or sign of royalty.
Frank Walton, whose father had taken
Harry into the firm as a partner, was the
constant companion -of Harry Clearfield.
They were one in tastes, one in action, in
thought and in deed. Harry formed but
few friend-hips; but with Cowley,
"Acquaintance I would have, but then't de
pends.
"Not en the number, but the choice of friends.
Frank and Harry were fast friends, firm
and true.
Thus Harry's sway was supreme ; his
life however was not to be cloudless sum
mer day. One with his rare attractions
would certainly captivate the heart, of the
gentler sex. Girls love a noble heart, a
manly disposition, an air of personal pride
which impresses one with a sense of hu
man greatness. Affection is the ruling
trait in woman; honor, manliness and
character in man. The flimsy exterior of
polished and artificial accomplishments do
not attract the .true woman; she looks for
something real. This reality was found
in Harry Clearfield.
—Nellie Blandon waa the belle of the
town. Nineteen, daicty, beautiful and co
quettish, she had by an unconquerable in
stinct filled with a tender frenzy all the
susceptible hearts of the town. For three
years, she held supreme sway; valiant
hearts had bowed at the shrine of her
beauty, and were sacrificed in turn, just
as it might-delight • her-to be appeased
with e flat heartless victims. She was a
faultless beauty, of medium height, slight,
but her lorm perfect, graceful, and with,

Pennsylvania. There was no time to be
lost. Frozen noses and frozen toes were
to be' accepted almost in tho light of a
luxury, rather than miss a grand old
sleigh ride.
IThe first time Mr. Clearfi ,Id met Miss
Brandon, he proposed the pleasure of the
,first sleigh ride with her. She accepted,
1
and Christmas Eve was to be the fulfild
ment of the engagement. There - was
hurrying to and fro in hot haste to secure
the necessary equipments. Sleighs and
-horses were in a uxious demand. There
were not enough horses to be had in the
town to - meet the exigencies of the occa
sion, so large was the party. ' Harry at
first contemplated the luxurious magnifi
cence of a span, but an irrestible impulse
- sttbso - qtientl'y induced him to settle upon
'a simple coarse. Ouo horse may be driven
with one hand. It is too difficult to imagine
what impelled him to seek with such per
tenacity as he did, for the narrowest sleigh
in the yard !
The company started frota the Belle
vue Muse—there ware 'sixteen sleighs,
—that Christmas Eve, at six o'clock. Har
ry took the lead, his spirited horse snuff
ing the cold sharp air, just as if he mcani
work. The two muffled themselves to
gether in a manner intended to secure as
far as possible the double advantage of
comforting protection
. and engaging ap
pearance, and after the judicious settle
ment
of skirts and robes on the one hand
and hats and furs on the other, darted
briskly off, along the Lancaster road soon
distancing their slower companions.
The' night was beautiful, cold, and
clear, and crisping—jiist such a night as
young people would select for sleigh ride,
love and fun. Barry was, to note his
own confessiou,ra little struck with the quiet
beauty of her dimpled face,' as from her
closely drawn wrappings he 'saw her be•
witching smile. Gathering the reins in
one hand, 'he cautiously disengaged
the other, and swinging his arm around
the back of the sleigh caused the vagraat
member to circle the big bundle of buffalo'
bandages which confined the gentle form
beside him; not a word of resistance. The
selection of the narrowest sleigh was no
longer a mystery.
The' party reached 'their destination

happy party. Harry and Nellie were the
centre of the group. Speculations as tJ
the pleasures of the morrow were various
ly indulged in. Supper over, a few min
utes were spent in gossiping.
Harry and Nellie were seated near the
stove, Nellie running over the pages of au
autographic album, and Harry whittling
a piece of pine wood, he found lying on
the hearth.
"I'll carve you a Christmas present,"
remarked Harry.
"And i'll prize it dearly as the word of
your hands," said Nedlie when scarce
had the words passed her lips, the fine
blade.of Harry's penknife snapped, and
fell at his feet.
Picking up the blade and viewing it
with a painful leek, h 2 turned to Nellie
and •aid :
"Allow Luc to present, you with this
blade, instead of the gift it was carving."
"I accept," said Nellie, "but remember
that the presentation of o. blade cuts
friends/tip."
Alice i\lay, the particular friend of'
Frank Walton, was uneasy, and acted in a
manner which excited the gravest suspi
cion. She was ...nowu in some circles as
the "mischief-making Alice." Jealous of
Miss Brandon's place in the affections of
Harry, she quickly and promptly devised
some means to alienate them. The plan
was as quickly adopted, with a determina
tion, which woman only knows, to carrry
it into effect. Harry's pocket revealed a
dainty white envelope. Alice saw it, and
calling Miss Brandon aside, she told her of
her gravest suspicion; that Harry was
only trifling with her affuctiou, - that he
was betrothed to another, and that the
dainty massive was fro:a his aflitimel,
"she had saw the postmark."
" Oh, what shall I du ?" whispered
Nellie, yielding already to the wicked im
pulses of her jealous heart, a jealousy
which had caused her more unhappiness
than any thing else.
" Get it from him," said Alice, her
eye gleaming with the satisfaction which'
would follow the breaking up of 'the re
lations between the two lovers.
The'eipedient was adopted, and going
quickly to Harry's side, Nellie seizad the
letter, drew it tram his peke.t, and placed
it in her own. Itemonstr4L cc was in
vain—it only increased her 'suspicions,
and the desire to know the true state of,
affairs. Harry demanded its return, but
ilia half playful,half angry manner she bar..
fled all attemps to get it.
The party 6000 started homeward,
Harry bringing up the rear. The pleas
ures of the trip were gone for him, not
withstanding her protest, that it was all
in fun, that she only wanted to see the
hand writing. He reminded her of the

Alice May had accomplished her wicked
purposes.
The coldness between them was Boon

A large number of friends went to the
depot to see him off. Among them were

Flow People Take Cold.
Not by tumbling into the river and
dragging home wet as a drowned rat; not
b'Y being pitched into the mud, or spilled
out in the snow in sleighing time; not by
walking for hours over shoe-top in mud ;
not by soaking in the rain, without an
umbrella; not by scrubbing the floor until
the unnamenuable sticks to you like a wet
rag ; not by hoeing potatoes until you are
in a lather of sweat; these are not the
things which give the people their colds;
and yet they are all the time telling us
how they "caught their death-cold by ex
posure,"
The time for taking cold is after your
exercise ; the place is in your own house,
or office, or counting-house. It is not the
act of exercise which gives the cold, but
it is the getting cool too quick after exer-
cising. For example; you walk very fast
to get to the railroad station, or to the
ferry, or to catch an omnibus, or to make
time for an appointment; your mind being
ahead of you, the body makes an extra ef
fort to keep up with it, and when you get
to the desired spot, you raise your hat and
find yourself in a prespiration; you take
a scat, and, feeling quite comfortable as to -
temperature, you begin to talk with a
friend or to read a newspaper; and before
you are aware of it, you experience a sen
sation of chilliness, and the thing is done;
you look around to see whero the cold
comes from and
. an open window near
you, or a door, or that you have taken
seat in the forward part of the car, and it
moving against the wind, a strong draft is
made through the crevices.
After any kind of exercise do not stand
a moment at a street corner, for anybody
Or anything; nor at an open door or win
dow. When you have been exercising in
any way whatever, winter or summer, go
home at once, or to some sheltered place;
and, however warm the room may seem
to be, do not at once pull of your hat and
cloak, but wait awhile—some five minutes
or more, and lay aside one at a time; thus
acting a cold is imposible. Notice a mo
ment : When you return from a brisk
walk and cuter a warm room, raise -your
hat and your forehead will be moist; let
the hat remain a few moments and feel
the forehead again, and it will be diy,
showing that the room is actually cooler ,
than your body, and that, with your out
door clothing on, yo have really cooled
