Now that the bravo war Kalloyi
Are moored safe to the shore,
And the axes and the falchions
Are put to ret once more.
Wo light the tire for Christmas,
And slay tiro fattened beait
And from each fold and garner
Wo cull tho Christmas Feast
Shout "Ynlo 1"
Lot tho Saxons res't a seas6rl (
They ean futlon till we come j
Let them hoard their cups and coins1!
That one day we'll bring home
lloni swords up, and the huckters ;
And tho rooUrco then shall shako
With the clamor of our feasting
And the revel that we'll raako
In Yule.
Let our warriors dolt their armor,
And our old men feed the Ore,
And heap tho oak loas till tho flame
Rises, a crimson pyre.
And let our maidens' Koldcn hair
Do bound with ribbons blue;
And every lover seek his lass ;
And every one bo true
At Yule.
To-day Christ came a little child
To save this World df ours
This day Ills angels come to bless
Our huts and seaside towers.
VTe'vo knelt before each holy shrine :
Rise now nnd feast and pass the bowl ;
Let every face grow bright with Joy,
And every one, with heart nnd soul
Shout "Yulcl"
At The GlaflCUristmas Time.

A Rmnll.plainly.fnriiisheil parlor, where
a few Winter sunbeams were shiftinc
nbont from cbair to clirtir ami flickering
ncross the crpet until they rcncbeil, nt
lit an easy cbair uenr tbo opon urate.
Then ttiey climbed slowly up the drca
of tho occupant of Ihe obnlrinndatlonqtli
rested ctrcfKitigly on two ftriall white
hinds clasped in their owner's lap. lint
not evou tho merry Rtiuhrnms conld dry
tho tears fast gathering in Mabel Anth
ony's dark eyes, nor quiet the rapid bo il
itiR of her heut. as she loaned her grrtce-
fnl head wearily back upon her chair.
nnd continued to think painful, weari
somo thoughts which had occupied her
during tho last ten minutes.
But precuUy,tnrning toward a gonlle-
rnan who was standing beside the window
all this while, sullenly drumming upon
tho pane, the pirl npohtf.
Come, sbnll wo not bo friends.Louis?
Do yr.u know it U ten long minutes since
you spoke to me, drnr?"
There was infinite b.ve nhd tenderness
in her tones, nnd Louis turred to see her
arms stretched imploringly toward bird.
Slowly ho crossed the room nnd stood
beside his betrothed J but tha mntidy look
was yet on his face, nud the lines of his
mouth wero stirnly suti
Mabel stnilod up at tho frowning coun
tenaneo nevertheless, the tears were still
iu her beautiful gray eyes and, windirg
her arms carositigly about her lover,
drew him gently dowb to her, saying,
coax 1 ugly:
"Oh, Louis, no ba friends with me
again 1 I am so tired of this long silence!
Are not yon?"
Tho young man's heart softened at the
senile touch nnd sweet, low voice of the
womau he lnVeil, aud, flopping upon one
knee beside ber.he rested his proud bend
against her shoulder.
Her cheek tmicbol bis, end again si
lance reigned for a few momehts, while
Mtbel slipped her band into his and
clasped it close. Then Louis spoke.
"If I did not love you beyond nil words.
Mabel, I could more williuRly yield lo
your wish nnd do without you a Utile
while longer. But, as it ia, the bare
thuugbt of waiting n year longer for mv
sweet wife almost makes me crazy. I
can't and well, I wou't do it, and that
is all I can say lo your argmieut."
Tho girl's face blanched again, but she
replied:
"If yon love me as you say, Lonhfyuii
will not trouble me si. God knows Tarn
worried nnd anxious about many things
lately, nnd you well know that since
uncle's death poor auntie has failed tula;
erably in health nnd spirits. That is
enough in itself to trouble me, besides
the cares which fall upon me every day,
Dear Louis, I havo only you and your
love to comfort and cheer mo. Won't
you be kind and true to your own noblo
heart, dear, and consider the circum
htanoes as I have so many times explained
them lo yon ?
Lonis Grant knitted bis brow sg.iin
impatiently.
"A fl for circumstances," be said.
"The ouly circumstances I care for are
these; Yon are my promised wife. I've
already waited 6ix months for you, nnd
now, as I want to go to Europe next
month, very naturally I desire to take yon
with me. Oh, my Mabel, think of visit-
iug together nil those cities which you
have longed to see 1 Why. darling,
wonld make y m the happlist little bride
in the world, if only you will be true to
your promise and to me "
Louis had risen as he spoke, and stood
beside Mabel with an eager light in his
bine eyes and a flush on bis fine face,
which Mabel smiled to see.
"I do think of il all dear," she ans
wered, "And eveu if we were to live at
home in the humblest way I shonld be
happy beyond words with toc, But lis
ten 1 My love for you must not bllud me
to other duties, nor come between my
duty to nuntie and poor little n.rry.
should be more than ungrateful if, for
getting all I owe to her, ad all my in
dehteduesn to Uncle John, who loved me
till the day of bis death with the itflVction
of a father, I shonld think only of my
own oomfort und pleasure and go with
you, while she would be lonely and un
happy at borne, You know lltlb Harry's
delicitte health and crippled limbs render
him a care which huntio alone conld not
well undertake. And it is a plain and
positive duty, which, surely, Louis, you
can't fail to see, tb it I remain at home
doing all I oau to cheer und assist tustle
Live and Let Live,"
PA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 188L
Until her sister shall comei It will only
bo one little year, Louis, darling I one
llttlo year to wait I Surely you will not
refuse to wait that longthof time for me?
Auutie s sister has promised to bo here
by that time she is in India now, yon
know nnd the'n, thes, dear, 1 shall be
wholly nnd always yours to do as you
like, and go whoro you chooio."
Sbo leanod her btaii against her lover's
heart ni be stood by her chnirj anil hs
Linis felt the gentle pressure, it thrilled
Lim through. But far from causing him
to jield to her argument, the pasiionato
lovo in his heart rebelled all the more at
tho prospect of delay in the longed-for
union with his swoet betrothed.
Still it cannot he denied that the man
felt himself honestly, in tho depth of hl3
heart, to be iu tho wrong.and ho honored
Mabel the more for her faithful devotion
to h t widowed attnti
B.it marring the otherwise noblo char
acter of Louis Grant was an obstinacy
which linked itself clostly with a fnlse
prldo, and bis own hipplness, with tbo
bapplnctiS cf another, was wrecked against
tu.' two trails.
So.disregarding all considerations save
that one'selfish desire of his to have for
bis very own with neither aunt or cous
in to stand between him nnd bis lore
the beautiful girl whose pi ice iu his heart
none other oould fill, Lsuis dctcrmlnod
to try one more plou to win her over to
his. view of the discussion
After a pause, during Which tbo sun
beams bad dcpMrtcd, aud tbo first faint
shadows of twilight began td creep in nud
nboht the room, the young man spoke
again:
"You argno lhecae well, Mabel.trnly,
but I cannot see, for nil J-nur wcrds, that
your aunt or cousin have a claim upon
y.nu superior to that of your betrothed
husband. And if yon still ptrsist in giv.
ing me up for the gratification of a fooi
inh whim "
"Ob, Louis i" reproachfully, from Ma
bel; but he disregarded the interruption
and went oni
Why, then, I don't sea that i can do
anything moro than simply bid you good
hy nud go!"
Mabel lifted her bead aud looked full
into lur lover's face.
Give yon up? Can't we see each other
every day, Lmiis ? And do yon think a
woman whose heart could so readily turn
from those who have a natural claim up
on her love, would be worth your love ?
Answer me, dear," the tender smile came

The following sketch presents a maik

he ordered them and was willing to pay
for them !
A Mexican hotel furnishes lodgings
only. Yon engage your room by the
day or month, and you get your bed and
toilet. Of courso we ring for ice water
and tho waiter hritigS us wuter withont
ico; wo ask if we cau't get ice nnd are
told that we can if wo send out and
buy it.
Beforo going to bed my chum bethinks
him of his pbylo nnd asks for warm wa
ter, the waiter cau't get us Any warm
water, because tho only placo to get it is
at tho bathing establishment, nnd that is
closed nt 0.33.
Wo need n spoon and send a boy for
one; he returns and reports that tho res
taurant is cloned aud tbe cafe wouldn't
trust him with a spoon. I go down to
tho cafe, when the proprietor, a very
polite Frenchman, sijN:
"1 nm vory sorry to ivo you tho trou
ble to come down stairs, I am very Rlad
to lend you anything iu my establish
ment, bnt I bdvo lived too long in this
coilmty to take tbo word of cue of these

IT FAILS TO MITE TUB OLD ADAM OUT OF

Salt Luko "Tribune"! Tbo Saints do
not place so much dependence on the
laying on of Lauds and tbo blessing bus
iness as tLcy once did. yet hundreds of
thrtn clltig to the old relio along wilh
other absurdities of tho church. Only'a
few years ago they believed that conse
crated oil would cure the bites of horses,
aud that the la ing on of hauds would
quiet the most vicious nnituol of kicking,
biting or balking.
One day, on Main street, an old jfor
mon hart n balky horse, whose' antics
drew n crowd of spectators. Presently a
bishop made his way through tho crowd
and off-red "to lay on bands" for S3.00.
This was tbe regular price for such min-
Utratious. nud the owner of Ibe horse at
ouce consented. He blessed tbe nuinial
in tbo il inks, in the lfgs, prayed over bis
Seek aud passed bis bands over the ani

tho laughter of about n hundred Gentibs
who stood on tho walk watching tbo pro
ceedings, When he had ftnUhed his in
cautallnns to tbe astonishment of every
body the animal started off as docile as
an old sheep. Tbe Saints were delight
ed, bnd the Gentiles quit laughing entire
ly. Still they concluded to wnttih the
liorre. The beast seemed to have all the
old original sin drawn out of bim, nud
tbe owner would 1 nvo paid S3 more wil-
litigly. It wns a changed borc Tbe
Gentiles begnn in disperse, disgusted
with the otitenme of tbe affair, when sud

aud n moment later the heels of thefctcrd
began to familiiirito Ihcmsclvis with the

right square through it, and scattered
the flinders as high ns tho second story
