Miss Evelyn's New Year's Calls. iiy K.vrr. m:uly hill. Hope Evelyn stood at her wludow away up in tuo top of a stately Ivevv York mansion, looking down upon the broad avenue that was already In the full tide and whirl of Xevv Year's Day. She was only a little country girl, who had never been In a city before during the holiday season; aud the pan orama piesenlcd by the spacious street. marbled white by the first real snow of the winter, and all alive with sleighs of every luxurious style, tilled with elegant looking men, aud drawn by saiin-coatod thoroughbreds glittering in gilded har ness, and prancing to the music of their own silver bells, fascinated her with Its splendor, and kept her at her window gazing out until her eyes were fairly dazzled by the ceaseless glitter and whirl. Poor girl! these dazzling glimpses wcro the only sbaru she was likely to have In the universal New Year gaiety. She was not the daughter of that aristo cratic house, hut only nursery governess to Its two youngest darlings. Her em ployer, Mrs. Suydam, had been very kind; she had remembered "the very lady-llko girl, quite a treasure-trove, my doar!" who took Rtich good care of her precious pets, and had graciously offered the use of the small reception-room on tbe first floor in case Miss Evelyn might perhaps have a friend who would like to call. "Dear Lily and Angela have entreat ed so to be allowed to come Into tbo parlor, and tbey are" really such an at traction, tbe little fairies) tbat I have at last cousented," tbe explained. "So when you have dressed them you will be quite at leisure for some time, aud I should be glad to know you were enjoy ing yourself." Miss Eveljn was very grateful for what she knew was unusual gia-ions-ness, but thero was no one in whose be half she might avail herself of tbe kind permission; and she felt strangely alone and lonely as she looked wistfully down upon tbe ever-moving spectacle below, "So many people, all so gay and bap- py, and flot one to give a word or a wish to me!" washer sad Utile thought as I she Tis taming awy, but just at tbt Oblate; JSmeifc oml i'olton Live and Let Live." moment her glanc6 fell upon ' a group moving 'along tho sidewalk which was as empty as the drive was thronged, that arrested her steps, and made her look with a yet moro direct look down Into the brilliant street. It was n strange looking party to ap pear upon such a scene; a dark foreign looking woman with an Infant huddled up under a miserable shawl, and two older-.children In tattered garments clinging to her scanty skirts. The sun light glittered with blinding radiance upon the" hard white snow, but the wind swept none tho less keenly through the long street; and the poor creatures shivered as the Icy air pierced through their worn clothing and chilled them to the Very heart. Tho. woman stopped for a moment and stared about as though bewildered at the unaccustomed scene in which she suddenly found herself, and then sank down, apparently be numbed and helpless, with her children cowering beside her, upon the broad steps of an unoccupied house directly opposite Miss Evelyn's window. "Oh, that will never dol" was the young girl's Instant thought. "A po liceman will come and drive them away f torn there in no timer.' Poor creature I how miserably cold the looked I and those poor little children! how I wish this was my house, wouldn't I bring them in and w aim them, and feed them, just for once anyhow!" And then there flashed Into her mind Mrs.rSuydam's gracious offer of hospi tality-, to any friend of hers! Of course she didn't mean this kind of people, but then of course she didn't think of this kind, audi know she is very charitable herself," argued Hope eagerly In her own mind. "It Is so cold they couldn't possibly have anything catching, and anyhow they needn't see soul but me. I'm going to do It, and take the consequences afterwards!" And yielding to the urgent impulse of pity, she darted from the loom and sped swiftly and noislessly down the long lllghts of stairs to the bottom of tho house, and through the basement door out into the wide, stonc-paved nrea. The sharp air struck her like a b!ow,but she stood still, heeding neither the Icy wind nor the curious glances cast at her from more than one passing cutter, and beckoned to the group of "mlserables" across the way, until tho woman recog nizing that she was summoned, rose slow ly and made her way, her children still clinging to' her skirts, In and out amongst the horses to the other side of the street ,Vs soon as she was within reach, the little governess took her by the arm, and alng her finger on her lip as a token of sifence, hurried her along the basement hall to tho furnace-room in the centre. The laundry and kitchen were beyond at the I ear, and both were closed, so that there was no one vt llliln sight or sound, so she opened the door and ushered the shivering wretches into what seemed a very Paradise, after the Ice-lnfcrno of the frozen streets. Such a great glowing mass of fire, such a blissful sense of warmth and rest and comfort! When had they known tbe like before. Miss Evelyn drew forward a couple of empty wood-boxes, and motioned them silently to be seated. Then she sped lightly up the stairs again to the reception-room which had been placed at her disposal. Arrived there, bhe touched the bell, and to the colored elegant who answered It, she said with a pretty as sumption of impatience: "Am I to be starred to-day, Howard, becanse no regular meals are to be served? Bring me some luncheon, do; enough for two hungry people, How ard !" Howard smiled benevolently; tbe "pleasant spoken" young governess was a special favorite with high mightiness "With pleasure, miss," he replied, bowing graciously; "I'll accommodate you immediately glad to give her square meal, too, faronce," he added as to bowed himself out. "Shu never gits half a chance at the table between them two sp'llt children." The result was a tray, In a few min utes, loaded with all manner of dainty dishes; oyster patties, chicken salad boned turkey, ham and tongue sand wlches, to say nothing of a great golden orange, a buncu ol wutlu grapes ana plates of macaroons and chocolate eclairs. "I guess I knovved pretty much what jou'd like, miss. Take your choice of all the delicacies, and I hope" but here Howard's compliments were, ab ruptly curtailed by the Imperious sum mons of tbe drawing-room bell, and the little Intriguante, overjoyed at hei bonne fortttue, seized tho opportunity to escape with her provender. If tbe dark, glowingrooin had seemed like a paradise before, it became trans formed Into a very heaven Itself, In th eyes of the starved wanderers as the blessed vision of food abundant and delicious food appeared before them, The children started up uttering sharp, eager cries In some unknown patois, Tbe mother's great, black eyes over flowed, and sbe would have knelt to the little governess aa to tbe Madonna Ban, tisslma herself. Bot Miss Evelyn shook ber bead and pressed ber finger to ber lip so emphatically that tbe was obliged to let ber tears speak for ber, and devote herself to satisfying her own and her children's hunger, When the last morsel had been con sumcd the youug lady, wbo bad stood on guard, as It were, all tbe while, took from her purse a silver coin sufficient to insure them a night's lodging and breakfast, and putting it luto tbe wo- 1. .1.

'.'How fortunate that that horrible; cross, old cook did not discover mot .1 declare I feel almost like a burglar or a sneak-thlof.or sometblngdlsreptitablcl'' she said, to herself, half laughing, half ashamed. "But I was bidden to wtl come a gncst, If I chose, and It was my own, luncheon I gave up I I can't help being glad. They did enjoy It so. Aud It bas mado -quilt a different affair of this lonesome New Year's day to me. Who can say now I haven't had some callers, too?" Sho reached this conclusion ami the parlor hall at the same moment and catno suddenly face lo fare with a tall stylish-looking man who had just been ushered In by the ubiquitous Howard. The little governess drew back, abashed and blushing, like tbo guilty creature she was. But the gentleman, with a half start, quickly repressed, made way courteously for ber to pass, not before she hadsurprlsed upon bis face u curious smile In ber direction. A curlons smile certainly, not of recognition they had never met before but none the less a meaning smile. And what could bo Its meaning, pray? This was the conundrum with which Miss Evelyn exercised her mind as she shut herself hrcatblesslv Into her "bowor chambcre." and meanivhilu tbo subject of her speculations was standing, choc olate cup In hand, exchanging the com pliments of the season wltli Imogene, the beautiful eldest daughter of the house, who was a special "society friend" of his. He utilized the first convenient pause, to sat : By the way, who Is the fair friend you have visiting yon? Shall not we have the pleasure of being presented to her?" "Friend?"' with a glance of surprise. I have no oue staying with me at present. Why did you suppose it?' An answering look of astonishment. I encountered In the hall a moment Ince a young lady who had certainly tbe alrof being cbez vile. A young lady with a very striking face, not so much that It Is nvcry pretty one, as because of a certain radiant expression, a look of being awfully hapry about some thing, a little different, you know, oh, I can't cxnlatu It and you may laugh at mo If you like; but I know perfectly well what I mean, and I think I under stand too" He was interrupted by an Irrepressible burst of merry mockery. "Well, upon my word! This Is really the richest thing of thu season. The unapproachable, unlmpresslble, utterly Impregnable Mr. Hunterdon, who has passed unscathed through a dozen win ters in society, touched at last, and that by tho what kind of 'expression' did you call it? The divinely radiant ex presslon of my little sisters nursery governess!" Mr. Huntcrden started slightly, hut recovered his poise on the instant. Well!" hu rejoined, calmly, "surely that is a very honorable occupation, is it not? the care of such sweet little minds and souls aud bodies? And I take it lor granted that madame, your moth er, would not intrust her little ones to any but a perfectly unexceptionable person? So to what do 1 owe the good fortune of amusing you so highly?" Miss Stiydain reganled her companion In silence for a moment. Then a sud den generous emotion suffused her face, "Most certainly not," she answered warmly, "Miss Evelyn came to us highly recommended by some of the first peo pie In Lennox, who had. known her family for years. She is the daughter of a country clergyman, and has spent her life away up among tbe Berkshire hills. The mother died when sho was a child, the father last year, and the daughter fouud herself thrown upon ber own resources. She lias show p herself perfectly ladylike and estimable In every way since she has been with us, and though 1 don't remember our being dazzled by her expression! I believe she is as good as she Is pretty and clev er. Would you like to make her ac qualntance?" Mr. Huntcrden did not lllnch from the abrupt question. Yes, I should," be answered gravely and simply. "You and I are good friends, Imogene, and I can speak to you hinecura. I liked that girl's face, and I liked a glimpse I got Into her na ture this morning, no matter Just now how. I have never met any on yet wbo could make me think seriously of marrying; 1 don't know bow It might have been if Clcve '' "Q spare yourself Ihegt Clevc aud I are uncommonly well satisfied with each other, you know I" "And an hour with her would let me know as well aa a year whether she could make me think seriously of it or not. 1 should like to nave it," "And jou, shall!" was tbe, warm re sponse. "Mamma always lets mo do aa I choose, and I chooso to ask Miss Evelyn into tbe drawing-room thla eve ning. There will only bo Clave and a few old friends of tbe family; you may take her to the piano in the alcove yon der sbe sings little ballads very sweet lyand prosecnte your researches, into tba 'different' at yonr use. Only mind ! 1 won't have itha little one's peact of mind upset for nothing." "You may trust me-ind tliaak you" was the grave reply, and ber com panlon made way for tho next new. comer.

And now, iout viola 1 What more is thereto tell.tbau that the wedding took place that very w Inter In that iden tical sumptuous apartment? That the "fairies' " fiiamma supplied the trous seau, and the beautiful Imogene herself officiated as bridesmaid, veiling her kindness by protesting that the whole thing was a capital rehearsal for her own "affair," which was arranged for tbo Easter following! Except to record that no matter who else In the world of society may bow to tbe dictum of fickle fashion In curtailing tho hospitalities of Xew Year's Day, the Hunterdon mansion keeps Its broad doors open to ticli and to poor, each In their place, on that day of all others, tbe first and lest of all their anniversaries!

Secretary of tbe Navy Whitney Is an old New Yorker, and so familiar with thu city's characteristics. He stood In the corridor of Hie Fifth avenue hotel In light conversation with Secretary of the Interior Lamar, and the taplc of conver sation was a confidence robbery that had been perpetrated upon a guest of the bouse that day. Whitney malntainid that whilo some men were astonishingly gullible tho majority were unreasonably cautious. "To illustrate my point," ho said, "let my young friend Joe Barnard here offer to give a $10 hill for $1, and not man lu this corridor will accept the offer." The experiment was at onco made, Joo was a good-looking, well-dressed fellow, with nothing in his aspect to suggest roguery. Whitney handed crisp, new $10 note to him, and he set out on his round. "I beg your pardon, sir," be remarked politely to Gen. Dan .Sickles, who was stumping round on a leg and a crutch "but will you please give mo one dollar for Ibis ten?" and he held tho note so close to Sickles' eyes that Its genuine ness ought to have been v islblc. A half-sarcastic, half-angry grin came over the general's face, but he deigned no reply, and contemptuously turned away. The proffer was soberly made to nine men, none being r witness of tbe other's refusal, and every tlmo with tbo same result. Nobody would buy $10 with $1. All decided on tho spurof the moment that they wcro the objects of a swindler's attenllon. Tho cudangcreil note came safely hack to Whitney, and the group laughed over Its adventure save Sickles, who was called in to be teased for letting so gool a bargain slip, THE EEASuN HE DIDN'T OET IT.
