Tho stockings were hung by the chimney with

In Lopes that Sti 'Nicholas soon 'would be

The children rrefe ncttlsd all inttg lb their
Whllo visions or sugar-plumt danced In their
heads,
And mamma In her VercHef.nnd t In mVcnn.
Had Just seltle'donbralns for a long winter's
When out on the lawn there arose such a
clatter, . '' ' '.
I sprang from my bed to see what was the

When, what to my1 wondering eyti should
ai ar,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein,
dear.
With a little old driver, to lively and quick,
I knew In a moment It mutt be St. Nick.
More rapid than, eagles his couriers they
came,
And lie whlstled,and shouted, and called them
by nnluo
"Now, Dasher,! now, Dancer I now, Prancer

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to

So.up to tho houto-iop the coursers they flew,
With a slelKB full ol toys and St. Nicholas
too.
And then In a twinkling I heard on the roof
Tho prancing and p .wing or each little hoof.
As I drew In my head, and was turning
around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas cams with a
bound,
lie was pressed all In fur from his head to Ml
Toot,
And his clothes were alt tarnished with ash.

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And ho looked like a peddler Just opening
his pack.
Ills eyes how they twinkled I his dimples how

Ills droll little month was drawn up like a

And Ihe smoke, It enetrcloJ his head like a

IIo had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl

He was chubby and plump a right Jolly eld

And filled all the stockings Ihenturned with

And Is j log his finger aside of his noss.
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to bis team gave a

And away they all flew like tbe down of a

But I beard him exclaim, ere he drove out of

"Happy Christmas' to all, and to all a good

Ho turned and looked at her. How
sweet aud fair alio wax, this .fiirl, whose
power over Li heart he could not but
confcRs was wonderlully strotg and win.
Home.
The black monrning robe was relieved
from somlircneas hy the sort, white ruf
fle at throat nnd wrists. Her gold-brown
hair full la little waves over tbe white
brow.and the.bcaut'iful Rray eyes- ao lull
of tears were turned full upon Lnuin
face as she awaited a reply to her ques
tion.
"Giving her up," thought be mean
while, "will be like death; bnt aurely If
I am flrru bhe she will send form's in n
day or two, and 'we will be bette. friends
than ever."
So be ansuered at last:
"Only what I said before. You will
find that yon cannot do without ine by.
and-by, Mabel."'
Either tbe triumph which lurktd in his
tones, or the Might, and, it mnst be con.
f-Bsed, dincourteonH thruc of his shnul
ders, aroused till the pride In Mabel's
be.trt and a feeling of anger she could not
restrain. Haughtily she answered her
lover:
"Understand me.Louij. I shall meyxb
send for yon do not even dream ol such
a possibility. When you want me, you
will find mo ami; but ynu will come
uaca kj mo- yt xovn own accoru, or
she choked n little "yon wilt not return
nt all 1 Excuse me now, I am going np
stairs.
She turned and laid the ring upon the
table, theniwllh a sudden thought, "Oh,
no 1 not yet not yet," she slipped it
baok upon her finger, and passing Louis,
whose baok was turned toward her that
she wight not witut-ss the pain in his face,
Mabel roiched tht? door. There she
paused.
"Good-by, Liuls!"
But no answer came, and, woman-like,
the girl yearned to hear his voice.
'Ppod.byj Lpuji;'afniiiibla time
ioues were lower, ana, as sue epoae,
the m:tn hawed only a his hand touched
the la cb of the outer door.
"And you are going without kissing
me good-by?" asked Mabel, pale now
to the lips. "It will be the tint time,
dear, if yon do," she added, pitifully
enough, all her pride' gone, and only her
great love for tbU uuworthy lover remain,
ing.
"Iicannot kiss yon,. Mabel Anthony,
because you do not love me, and you are
giving me np so coldly. Ah. it is bard,
indeed ("
'Ko, Loula; it U too who give MS bp,

the door was opened and closed, and bo
was gone,
.....
"What a time Louis has staid I" mur
mured Mrs. Grey, br Mabel entered her
room Inter," "And hire's Harry fretting
bectuBo I can't bold him In my lsp. My
head Is very bad this afternoon, dear.
Ciin't yon keen the little fellow quiet?"
The six year old boy climbed into the
arms which were never too tired to hold
him, and presently forjjottlio pain in bis
crippled limbs As his cousin fang to him
sang while slio thought her very heart
was breaking.
"Such a comfort ns you are, dear
niece," resumed auntie, a few mlnulon
later. "What should I do without you ?
Lou's doesn't want to hnaten yonr mar
iligo. I hope) it would kill me tu pari
with you."
Mabel slifled baric a tigh.
"Do not be troubled, auntie mine,"
she, said, cheerily. ."I'm not going to
leave you Just yet."
"You look doleful about the face, dear
child, iu spile of your words and the
smile. Oh, Mabel, has anything gone
wrong with you ?"
"I found niy manuscript returned,
auntie, when I came lioms td-day, just
before Louis called. Iiu't it enough to
make one doleful to receivo htr rejected
bruin-lnbori as frequently as I do.1'
"How sttange that editors cannot see
the merit of yonr writingkl'' complained
auutle, who thought her neice the per
sonification of all things great aud olever,
Mabel smiled.
"Becauso there is no merit to be seen,
I presmne, anntie, dear," she roplled.
"I mint try,, try again; but, meauwhile
I wonld have been glad If my manuscript
bad been acceptable just now, when I
need money so much. There's the doc
tor's bill, you know. I don't like to owe
a cent, but Harry must have attention so
frequently. Oh, dearl it is hard times
for us, auntie, but we will hope for the
best."
"Christmas is coming, too, and what a
slim purso I have for my boy this year!"
Auntie sighed heavily as she ceased
speaking, and Harry, gone fast asleep,
was laid down from' the loving arms
which had held him; and then at last,
little by .little, as the shadows gathered
closely about the two who sat before tbe
fire, Mabel told tho sad story of herself
cud lover.
There were tears, of course, and words
of sympathy and love from anntie. Ma
bel withheld ns much as she could of ker
lover's fault, and smoothed over forfym
all sbo, was obliged to relate; bat auntie
guessed all the selfishness, and lbved her
niece the" more. ,
Time passed, November gave place to
December.end the days fast roiling them,
selves into weeks brought the Christmas
time near at hand.
All this long time no word had come
to Louis from Mabel Anthony, as ho had
confidently believed would be the case
ere even one week had passed.
Ho had passed her house many an eve
ntng, even going up the stoop for a
glimpse of the familiar parlor wherein he
had passed his twilfghthours with Ma
bel so very" ofien on his ,way from bis
nthce.
He had seen her, all unconscious of his
watching, sitting beforo the low grate,
the child Harry in her arms, nnd the fire
light lightlnglulo distinctness the fair,
sweet face he' loved.
How often had his, Impnlalve hand
touched the' bell with the thought: "I
will go in I I will, confess myself iu the
wrong r
But beforo the bell waB pulled would
come tbe fnoliah pride and its thought.
'No; if I yitld.she will never respect me
again. Patience ilabtl ,wiU send for
me soon."
So the time had gone by, until at last
Lnuia had left the city on some business
matter not to be interfered with by love
or love affitirsaniL soma weeks 'passed
cro ue reiurueu. ' ' ;
Then it wanted but, a week before
Christina time, and tbe longing for a
sight of Mabel bad increased tenfold,
"I nm stronger this morning, anntie,
and will sit quietly before tbe parlor fire
while yon are at church.
The glad Christmas morning had dawn
ed at last, aud Mabel.- recovering from a
severe illness, which for two weeks past
had prostrated htr, was assisted down
stairs by ber aunt, who was unwilling to
leave her dear invalid,
"You're quite sure you will be com
fortable, dear child ?" asked Mrs. Grey.
"Do smile, dear, and let me know that
you are happy."
Mabel rtadily smiled at her anxious
aunt's roq iisl, as she replied;
"I m happy, unn'ii'. Oughtn't I to
be.aftcr this good chauge in my fortune?'
holding up an envelope wbjoh contained
a check for some manuscript, at last so
oepted, with alo the request that "Miss
Anthony would, kindly fayor the editor
again,"
She and Harry laughingly called l a
"Christmas gift." and Mabel added with
a laugh, "at any rote, it is the only'pres
ent I expect, and more, f dare say, than
I deserve; so we'll make the most of it,
won't we, Harry, and maybe better times
will come bytnd-by,"
So, finally, Mrs. Grey departed for the
Christmas service at Church, leav. I
ing Harry to amuse his cousin, and take
care of ber. i

from her illness and tbe troubled heart

silence between ber and ber lover, seem

Iu all the long weeks since her sad
parting with Louis, her thoughts bad not
oeased to go in search of him, nor ber
heart to grieve for him. She had not

And now during her convalescence she
longd for him more tban even her aunt
imagined, particularly when all the earth
rejotcedTti fh'e GliKslinas time, and there
should have been only "peace, good will
amongst men." ' i
Little Harry climbed upon the arm of
her chair presently.and for waut of some
thing else to talk nb'nut, touohed upon,
the very subject Mabel would have
avoided,
"I say, Cousin Mab, why don't that
man come and see us auy more ? the one
who liked you best Of all Of us, you
know."
M-tbel fell the warm blood conrsing
swiftly over her nee, but buo replied
quietly enough!
"I do'not know that bo will overcome
again, dtar. Maybe ha has gone far
away 1 Never mind I Tell me what you
found in your Christmas stoekiDg this
morning?"
The church belli censed riiiglDg, the
streets were comparatively quletafter the
throng of church-going people bad ended
and by and by little Harry limped out to
the door-step to talk to a little neighbor
next door.
Mabel, from her chair before the fire,
could hear the childish voices its the chil
dren discussed the gifts of Santa CUns
eagerly, until ire long she Rrew drowsy,
and, resting her head agaluhf the chair,
closed ber sad eyes, nnd it was while
thinking of her liver, nnd praying for
him on this Christmas morning, that
she presently fell nsleep.
Meanwhile Harry, childlike in his de
sire to seo what good gifts had coma to
his neighbor that morning, hobbled as
fast as his little crutches could move
down tbe stoop nnd into the ntxt house,
leaving the street-door ajar, and quite
forgetlul of Mabel who fclnuibered peace
fully ou nor dreamed of ono who stole
softly In at tho street-door, and, with a
fast beating henrt, eutered the pnrlor.his
eyes shining with tears, not unmanly.
When the young girl opetied her eyes
it was at the close clasp of Louis Grant's
eager hand, and his kiss closed her lips
ere she could speak or exclaim.
"Yes, it is II Ob, my darling 1 Oh,
Mabel, for tbe sake of Christmas Day,

No matter what passed then between

of typhoid fever had brokrn.nttt in a
small village in the sqUth of J?rance.
A blacksmith fell ill and called id n

and went away. The next day, during
his usual rounds, he called at the
blacksmith's nnd asked his wife after. tbe
health of the patient.. -
She replied, "Ah, sir, only imagine.'
whilst I went to fetch the medicine, niy
husband ate two pickle horrings and a
dish of bean salad."
"Great heavens," cried the doctor,
"and now-be is"
"Qdite well, doctor. ' He Vent to work
this morning, and is as well as possible,"
said thu happy wife.
"This la extraordinary I" exclaimed
the doctor, "what a wonderful remedy
for typhoid 1 I must make a note of
It."
And accordingly entered In his note
