THE WID0W RAY.
Mrs. Ray sat besido her glowing grate
gazing into tlio embers au'JJplyinglier kuit-
ting needles Industriously. The rudo winds
of a December night whistled around the
corners of her cottage, rattled Iho windoiV-
blinds nnd Bought in vain for some crevice
through which to penetrate to tlio warmth
and checrinoss within. Tlio mind of Iho
widow busied itself with tho past. How
short seemed the timo since she was a light
heartcil,frolicing child, nndjfathcr nnd moth
er lavished upon her that caressing caro
which springs only from parental tender
ness. How sweetly did childhood glide into
maidenhood, nnd how like a bright dream
was tlio memory of her first acquaintance of
young Dr. Rny, tlio minister's son. Then
sho thought of the bright summer morning
that had witnessed their nuptials, of the
fresh June roses, nnd of the delicate white
blossoms that had been culled from her
own flower garden to form a bridal wrcathj
and sho remembered how her heart had
bouuded with Joy and prido when tlio bride
groom had Whiepctcd that tho bride was
fairer than tlio snowy chaplet.
Thus how sweetly tho years had glided by
bearing their rich freightage of joy. Her
only child, n noblo boy, had grown to man's
estate, nnd became a commissioned officer in
tho nayy and her heart had cherished him
with a mother's fond love and pride.
Then came the memory of darker days;
her husband had been injured by a fall from
his hoiso.and becamo an invalid; and soon
after camo the heait-rendlng news that tho
good ship Henry, of which their son was
commander, bad gone down In a gale, and
that all on board had perished. Dr. Ifnv
sank rapidly under this great sorrow, and
two months later was laid, with masonic
honors, in tho vilngo cemetery; and Mrs,
Itny found hereclfj at tho ago of foily-five,
a, widow npd.chlldlcss. But little properly
was left licr-only her.prctty cottage, with
its plcasftnt grounds,, and oven that was
moilgagcd for ono-tliird its actual value,
Uut just when she had expected to bo do
prived of this last relic of happier days, tho
mortgage, had been sent to her by mail, ac
coniianicd by a certificate from the mort
gagee that the debt had been fully cancelled.
Dut tCjivhom she wa3iudcbted for this kind
ness Mrs. Hny could never ascertain. Dur
ing tho two years that had 6upcrvcnctl be
tween that time and the present, sho had,nt
frequent Intervals, received supplies of Inou
oy In the samo mysterious way, quite suf
ficient to meet all her wants. Who was
her secret friend! True, sho had secret
friends, vr ho seem oil always seeking to make
her present happy and to win her from tho
contemplation of the gloomy past; but she
could think of none rich enough in worldly
goods to supply her Ihtlj bountifully, and
so her conjectures wcro fruitless. Hut to
night Mrs Hay was alone; und she review
ed tho various events of her life, and thought
of her )ost husband and child. The busy
fingcra, ceased their labor, tbo knitting lay
forgotten in her lap, nnd n tear-drop found
ils way down her cheek and fell upon tlio
folded hands. What mattered It to her that
this w Christinas Eve, sho had none to
make her Christinas merry.
A loud rap at tho door startled her. She
glanced at the clock pn the mantel half
past nine! Who could seek her dwelling
on such a night and nt so Into an hour. She
hesitated r moment, then went to the door
ami asitei who sought admittance, mere
wjs no reply. Sho heard a reveling stepon
tho icy lavement; she opened tho door and
found a basket, coiitalhliij n largo turkey,
already prepared for cooking, and a note
tied to the basket handle, which read thus:
" A Merry Christinas to Mrs. Itay, a con
tribution to a Christinas dinner to which
the doner Intends to invito lilinscll and a
few masonic friends."
" Well, this Is a strange proceeding,'' said
the widow to herself. " 'Himself and a few
masonic friends;' who can It bo? I, wish
tho ttirkcy could talk and unravel this little
mjistery i" but the turkey was a mason, too,
so far' as secrecy was concerned, so Mrs. llay
contented herself with a resolution to do the
hostess in good style, and demomtrato to
her as yet unknown-guests that sho was uo
second-rate cook.
Tho next morning Mrs. Colonel Cook
''dropped in jukl to wish Mrs. Hay a mer
ry Christmas," and learning of the myster
ious advent of tho tarkoSr, declared that her
"Bridget should come right over and help
prejiaro tho dinner." ''And you will oomo
with the Colonel and dine with us," said
the widoir. Crtaln!y, If you desire it,
and I will oome early and help preparo the
rtesrt.'
I It was lingular how like maiioa splendid

fruits and sweet-meats, but Mrs. liny did
not overhear the words whispered in Brid
get's ear, " Tell Mr. Cook wo aro ready."
"I think, said tho widow, looking out at
tho window, " that It is time tho unknown
mado his annearnnco with his masonic
friends. Ah, hero they come, one, two three
four, five, six. Mr. Baker, with their wives,
Col, Cook, and stranger,
"Oh, said Mr. Cook, "that Is Captain
Howard, an old friend of my husband, who
Is visiting at our house. Bridget, put the
turkoy on tho table."
Mrs. Ray met her guests at tho door, ral
lied tho gentleman on obliging a pour widow
to give a Christmas' dinner, and asked tho
ladles if they had been parties to tho plot.
Mrs. Baker replied that it wos tho gentle
men's idea entirely, nnd was not at nil to bo
wondered at; since it was a well established
fact that most musons wcro fond of good
dinners.
"And aro you a mason, also?" said Mrs.
Itay, turned to tho gentleman who bail
been Introduced to her aa Captain How
ard.
" I am," was tho reply.
" Come, come," said Mrs. Cook, "tho din
ner will bo cold."
lints and oveseoats, furs and bonnets
were laid aside, and tho patty wero soon in
the dining-room.
"I will do the carving," said Mr. Cook.
"Xo," said tho widow, "you shall not un
less you nro tho person who brought the
tuikty. The donor of the fowl shall carve
it."
Well, then," said tho Colonel,"! must
resign my position to Captain Howard."
Mrs. Ray looked amazed at tho stranger.
"Who where I do not understand it,"
sho eatd.
"Then yon do not recognize me," said the
Captain.
Mrs. Ray fastened her gaze upon him.
"Great Heavens I" sho cried, can this be
true? Is it yes, it is my son Howard risen
from the dead 1"
His arms woro about her; she was weep
ing joyful tears upon his busom. Tho oth
er Indies laughed and cried by turns, and
even the gfntlcmcn found a pocket-hand
kerchief convenient.
"There It is," Bnid Mrs. Cook at length,
I told you tho dinner was getting cold,
and you must all take tho timo for a 'cry.' "
Howard Ray led his mother to the table,
and Inking n scat besido her, proceeded to
do tho honors of host, while Mrs. Cook
ured out tho coffee; nnd no happier party
could havo been found upon that day.
Nowhere was there a merrier Christmas
than in the humble cottage ol widow Roy.
The hnndwima young Captain told them
tho story of the wreck of tho "Good Ship
Henry," aud of his miraculous escape; of his
subsequent capture by a British "man-of-war,"
and tho iinwssibility of reaching his
homo 6ooner. That he had arrived only
tho evening before, and meeting Col. Cook
ns ho stepped out of tho stage-coach, he had
with reluctanco consented to remain incog,
until to-morroiv, that nil might enjoy tho
re-union together; thatjluring the previous
evening ho had learned that tho Masonic
Lodgo hod relieved, tbo old homo of the
mortgage resting upon it,and had maintain
ed his mother Iu his absence. "And now
dear mother," ho said in conclusion, nnd
drawing her closer to his side; "let us unite
in grateful acknowledgment of this true
caru of tho widow in her mitfortuues."
So tho problem was soved. It was not one
kind friend, but many who had ministered
to her wants.

many instances pf unostentatious benevo

AU.Ul'S IIOVCIOOD.
Saturday Xighti In beginning a series of
sketches concerning tho youthful days of
eminent people. It teems fitting that we be
gin with Adam.
It is rather difficult to cotiocivo of Adam
as a boy, wo admit, owing to tho popular
siiierstition which has painted him coming
into tho world full grown, with whiskers
nnd moustache complete, and the prevailing
belief that there wasn't boy in tho World
until Eve enme nnd raised the old boy with
Adam; yet we prefer to think of our ancient
progenitor ns having had something of u
boyhood, and wo suppoio we huvo as good u
right to theorize upon the subject ns nnyono
else.
Adam was probably as mischievous nat
urally as boys generally aro. In fact D.ir-
win says ho was " a perfect little monkey."
which we believe, Is n synonym for mis-
chiovousness Iho world over. But ho had
no companion In his gambols. If he stayed
out after dark, aud got to cutting up, it wa.
all by himself. And what sport could
ho havo ringing door bells without
lot of other boys to senmper awny with'.'
And ennsidcrftho melancholy fun ot fasten
ingcords across tho walks ut nighl, witli no
body to trip over them.
Wo can imagine young Adam, with all
the instinct of a boy two inches thick In his
nature, looking about for somo way to di
vert himself na other hoys do and whimper
ing to himself, "Can't have any funl" Of
couisi, ho couldn't by any possibility havo
any fun.
No fun running away from school, or
stealing off to go in swimming, because then-
was uo ono to lick him when bo got home.
No fun sneaking up in tlio hay mow to in-
ditlgo in a surreptitious game of etichro -always
had to "play It ulonc." He couldn't
play tag, becauso ho might yell, "I've got
tho tag," all day, nud thero would bo no one
to tako it away from him. "Hispy" had
no charm, for a buy soon gets tiled of hid
ing when he has to go to work and find him
self. The more wo think about Adam's lonely
boyhood tho more wo ure Inclined to pity
him. Ho never knew whata circus meant,
at least not until Eve camo and introduced
him to one. But wo have nothing to do
with that now, as wo aro ouly treating of
Adam's boyhood.
True, there was a big menagerie all around
him, but tho animals wero tamo nifjirs,
Iambs and lions lying down Wether in the
most spiritless concord, and tlio hippopota
mus and canary birds playing with each
other like kittens.
Littlo Adam never sat wnv up on tho
highest seat ami gazed, awe stricken, as a
man in spangled tights sprang, whip iu
hand, into a cago of savage beasts that roll
od their eyes, gnashed their teeth, and roar
ed until tho canvas overhead flapped for
very iear. Io, inaced.
Ho never saw a thin-legged female iu
ouuis anins nmnga toping norso round a
ring, nnd jumping through n hoop, while a
man witli his face painted white and his
mouth a red exaggeration, tells that conclus
ive story about stuffing hay into his shoes
to "Till them out, and his calves going down
to eat tho hay. Young Adam never saw
the "old clown," though ho came very soon
after Adam's day, and tho jokes he com
menced with he has been getting off ever
since.
And how about base ball? Do you snp
poso Adam knew anything about that ex
hilarating diversion that is now doing 6o
much toward developing tho Intellect of
our American youth? There is no likeli
hood of It, not whllo he was a boy. His son
Cain, however, seems to havo been the
first to get up a " club," but It was tho death
of his" brother Abel.
While thero was so many things that tho
boy Adam missed, think not that his solita
ry life was without its compensation. Thero
was no other boy to steal his marbles, or
hide his top, or jeer at hiln because ho had
to wear his big brother's cast-uff clothes, nr
holler across the street that ho had "a letter
in tho post-office," or fix a bent pin for him
to sit down on. Adam cscajwil those mid a
thousand other annoyances that boys sub
ject each other to. Ho hadn't any brothers
or sisters to tease and worry him.
Whatever troublo nnd annoyahed his
matrimonial life- may havo brought him, Wo
find a kind of satisfaction In reflecting that
Adam's biy)ino was exceptionally freo
from care, and on that account we aro bound
to conclude that his life was not entirely a
failure.
DISfiU.VrCD WITH LAW.
Yesterday afternoon as tho sun was sink.
Irtg to his bed out in tho buffalo-country, a
man with a comforter tied around his waist
and his pants tucked into his boot-legs,
emerged from Justico alley with such a
thundercloud on his brow as wotlld hive
mado his fortune had lie been iti tho light
ning ral business. Ho stood ou tho walk
and looked up nnd down, and a horse, tied
to a post near by backed away as far as ho
could aud rooked as innocent as possible.
A big i.iliceman sauntered that way and ho
was hot afraid of Iho big red comforter and
the frowning man.
" Anything up?" boldly inquired tho offi
cer. The man made nu cfl'irt to reply but his
words choked him.
"Don't you feel well?" asked the offi
cer. ""Keel welll" yelled tho man all of a sud.
dent "why I feel well cr 'nuCf to kill some
body!" "Anything wrong?"
"Oh! no! nothing wrong," said tbo man
in a voice that sounded llko nails shaken
up In a tin pau. "I got up at 4 o'clock
this mornincr. rode 15 mile.- frrtztl both ours '
loafed around liere ull day With a headache,
and: ant out J 'J shillings on dinner and

"Well yoU didn't havo to come, did

"Didu't? Wasn't my brother knocked
