SNOMRASS, MURRAY & CO, CLOTH HOUSE, MARKET & NINTH STREETS, Philadelphia. Jeantc's Christmas HI ft. lly Emma Garrison Jenes. As Jcanie sat en the old meadow-stile, in the radiant splendor of the September afternoon, she was thinking of-a Sabbath morning, when her father sat in the cot taco with the great Bible en his knees, reading the sacred word te his family. It bad been a bright summer mera, and the very scent of the roses aud lavender, and the busy hum of the bees seemed te come back te her. It was her father's custom te require Jcanie and her little sister te repeat a verse when he had finished reading. That morn ing Jcanie's verse was, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these Jly brethren, ye have docs unto Me." "What does that mean, papa?" Jeanie had asked. And papa had said : " Why, my dear, it means this : If you were' te sec me a peer beggar, silting by the wayside, and give him feed and drink, or shelter, the great Lord would regard your kindness just the same as if bestowed upon himself. This was the memory that came back te Jeanie, as she sat en the old stile. She re peatcd the verse softly te herself ; aud then, with tears rising in her blue eyes, she glanced ever her shoulder, in the di rection of the village, where her father new slept. Childhood's sorrow, however, is shoit sheit shoit Iired. She seen dried her tears, aud began te jingle the two silver dollars in her pocket. Twe round silver dollars ! Oh, hew hard and patiently she had worked for them, picking berries in the het sun for the village market. When they were earned, aud she had them in her little, brewu baud, mamma had said : 'They arc yours, Jcanie ; you shall de with them as you like. Buy a new hat for yourself, or ' "3Iamma, no, ue, please," Jeanie cried, breathlessly. " I will de without the hat, let me buy the dolly with the eyes that go te sleep, aud the darling little bed te put her in, for Det, the dear. Oh, mamma, she has wanted them se long." "De just as you please, Jcanie, love; you worked hard for your money," mam ma said. And new, Jcanie was en her way te the village, te niake her purchases. Det was weakly, aud somewhat deformed peer, little mite, aud could net accompany Jcauie. But, Jeanie had kissed her when she set out, aud said : "New, sit here, and be paticut, and watch for me, Det ; I'll hurry as fast as ever I can, aud you shall have the big dolly iu your arms, the very minute I get back." Jeauie thought of Del, as she jingled the two silver dellais in her pocket ; and springing from the stile, hurried across the meadow. When she came close te the great elm that steed by the wayside she stepped short. Sitting beneath it was a man with a bandage across his eyes, and a little deir at his feet. The deg had a forlorn leek, and the master was clad in rags. Jcauie looked en iu silence, for some min utes, aud then diew a little nearer. " Geed man, are you blind ?" she asked. "Ne, net eutiicly," answered the tutu. I've had a sunstroke, aud the light hurts me." Jeanie s tender heart was moved, drew still nearer, and patted the deg. " What makes you sit here ?" .she asked at last. " Why don't you go home'.'" " I am trying te get there, but walking makes my head hurt." " Hew far is your home ?' "Nearly a hundred miles." "Oh, eh! Yeu surely don't mean te walk that far '."' said Jcanie. " I did ; but I can't make much head way new." " Why don't ye go en tUe ears The man laughed a s.;d, ha'f bcernful sort of laugh. "Becausel hatea't get a cent, little one." "Peer man," said Jcauie, "ate juu hungry?" "Net very ; I get a bite en the i.mI. " But you're tired aud sick ?" "Yes." There was silence a minute or two. The elm leaves rustled overhead, and the little deg watched Jcauie, with wistful, entreat ing eyes. "Hew much would it take te carry you home, peer man ?" she asked suddenly. "Twe dellais!" The child recoiled, as if from a blew. A hut. noler rnshed into her checks, and her lips quivered. She put her hand into her pocket, and clutched the two silver del Iars. "I'm sorry for you, she said hurriedly, but I must go indeed I must go." She started oil at a rapid pace, ucr uanu still clutching the money in her pocket. Presently she stepped, however, aud looked back ; and, between her heavy respiration, she repeated the verse. "Inas much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Five minutes went by. Jeanie loe'ted towards the village, aud then toward the man beneath the elm tree. "It is iust as if the great Lord Himself were sitting there," she said at last in an awed tone. And then, slowly turning, she retraced her steps. When she reached the tree, her childish lips were almost colorless, se ter rible had been the struggle : but in her young eyes shone a steady and resolute ic solve. She put her hand in her pocket, and drew forth the money. " Here, peer man, take these two dol lars, and go home," she said. "The man pushed up the bandage from his eyes and looked at her. " What !"' he cried, in. surprise, putting aside her extended hand. "Ne, no, I can't take it." " Yeu must. It is my very own. I earned it nickincr berries. I was going te buy a big dolly ; but but " her voice choking. "I'd rather give the money te you. We couldn't say our prayers te-night, Det and I, if I left you sitting here." She forced the money iute his hand. "What's your name?" he asked. "Where de you live?" "Jeanie Goodwin's my name I live across yonder, at Hazelwced cottage. Goed-byo !" The last few words ended with a sob, and Jeanie darted away te hide the tears she could net keep back. " Det, we won't grieve, will wc ? she v,hi.-pcred that night, clasping her little :str r. as iliev nestled teeeiner mine same U-d. "O.dy think, Der;, 'tis just the same is if the great Lord Himself had been sit-tii-g ihcie, under the elm tree, and wc gave our money te Him. We won't fret ;sbeut the big dolly. Det ?" "Ne, of course," answered Det, oblig ingly, "and the rag dolly's iust as geed after all. 'J Years went by ; yeais of ia''ent and incessant te'.l te the widow .. i her chil dren, at Hazelwood cettagj. But their combined efforts failed te keep want from the deer. Det was almost helpless, and the mother herself was frail, and at last fell ill. The heavy burthen of care rested en Jeauie's shoulders. One winter afternoon found her sad of heart. Her mother was in need of nour ishment aud medical attention ; peer little Det's pale face betrayed her lack of strong wholesome feed, and a debt hung ever the cottage, which would seen make them homeless. Suddenly she remembered that it was Christmas day. But alas ! there was no Christmas cheer for them, much less Christmas gifts. Apd yet hew she would have liked te buy seme little trifle for Det ! Jeanie steed in the deer, and looked out at the fast falling snow. A tall, slender girl, graceful as a young willow, with a sweet, sad face, and tender, resolute eyes. It was an inclement afternoon, but JeanieJ was determined te face the storm. She had formed a purpose. "Det," she whispered, approaching her sister's low chair. "I'm going te see Docter Farnsworth. Don't let mother knew. I shall net be gene long, dear." She left the cottage, and crossed the fields, with a rapid step, the snow beating iu her face. The old meadow stile steed at the crossing, and, just beyond it, the giant elm trce. Jcauie paused for breath a minute ; her eyes filling with tears. It saddens us, sometimes, te see htfw strong and changeless nature is, when the dearest treasures of our hearts seem te be slipping away from us. Jeanie hurried en, uudcr the snow-laden brauches of the elm tree, and along the selfsame path her childish feet had trod en that memorable day, when she was en her way te purchase the big dolly. She did net recall the circumstance, however ; ether and graver thoughts filled her mind. She reached the village, after a fatiguing walk, and made her way te Dr. Farns worth's residence. The old physician's son, a yeuug disciple of Esculapius, just returned from abroad, and getting ready te step into his father's shoes, occupied the sitting room, into which Jeauie was ushered. He rose te his feet, politely in quiring iu what way he could serve her. "Thauk you; but it is old Docter Farnsworth I wish te see, please," said Jcauie, in her sweet, soft voice. And the young doctor left the room, thinking he had uever seen a sadder or a lovelier face. "Why, bless my soul, here you are ; aud I had just ordered my buggy, te come ever and sce you,' exclaimed the elder physician, when he appeared. Then, you knew my mother was ill?" said Jeauic, with flushing checks. " Ne. I did't ; is she ill ?" " Yes, sir ; she's been ill for weeks," replied Jcanie, speaking rapidly, lest her courage hheuld fail te her ; "'but she wouldn't allow me te come te you sir,. be cause because we haven't the meucy te pay you. But I can't see her die for want of medical aid ; and if you'll only go te see her, sir, if there's anything I can de, any seit of work " " Never mind, nevermind," interrupted the doctor ; " we'll settle that hereafter, you should have let me knew long age. Cenie te the lire and warm ; you didn't walk ever?" " Yes, sir, I walked ; but I'm net cold ; and please, sir, if you'll be geed enough te goat eucc " "Yes, yes, my buggy will be around in ten minutes. 1 was just coming ever te see you, Miss Jcanie. I've get a letter for you." " A letter for me, doctor ?" "A letter for Jeanie Goodwin. That must be you. It came enclosed te me from Marshland. One Rathburn, a lawyer, sent it. Here it is." Jcauie received the letter, and looked at it with wondering eyes. She could scarce ly break the seal her lingers trembled se. Docter Farnsweith busied himself with his saddle-bags, while she read it, a sup pressed twinkle in his eyes. The substance of the letter was as fol fel lows : A man, named Hiram Burns, dying recently at Marshland, had left a will, be queathing a pretty cottage and grounds, aud something ever six thousand dollars iu cash te Jeanie Goodwin, a little girl living at Hazelwood cottage, some two miles from Berryville ; said Jcanie Geed win having given mm-iwe uenara ie pay j Ins larc te jiarsnianu, seme seven years j before, when she found him siting by the wayside, ill and penniless, said he, Hiram Burns, desiring te pay the debt with in terest. "Oh !"' exclaimed Jcanie, clasping her hands. "Oh!" echoed the doctor, looking up "New there's luck, yeuug woman? You'll be able te pay my bill, you see. I've writ ten back te Rathburn ; and if you say se I'll take you down te Marshland and see that you are net cheated. And new a merry Christmas to'yeu." Jeanie could net speak ; her heart was tee full. After many days her childish act of self sacrifice had been rewarded. And it seemed te come, tee, as a special Christ mas gift. Some weeks later, as seen as her mother was able te make the journey, they went down te live in the pretty cottage at Marshland ; and, net many months after, Jennie married Dr. Farnsworth's son.

The fact that long aud fiequent consultations take place between the president and such leading Stalwartas Grant, Cameren, Lo Le gan, Jenes and ethers, and with Rescce Cenkliug by proxy, together with the fact that Iilaiue, MacVeagh and Jamee, positively refuse te remain members of the cabinet, furnish strong confirmation te the impression that the ch'ef question new under consideration among Mr. Ar thur's confidential advisers is hew te put the Starwarts into complete possession of the administration without alarming the country before the November elections. Weweuld.be the last te de President Arthur injustice. The New Era was among the first te ask for him a generous judgment and a fair trial. But, if. as new seems painfully apparent, his policy is te be shaped by the deceptive counsels of Conkling, Tlatt, Cameren and ethers, who conspired te embarrass the Garfield administration, the sooner the people knew it. the better for the future of the Republican party and the welfare of the nation. The Policy or Caution. New Era, Dec. 11. If tbe Independent Republicans are wise they will net permit themselves te be driven into a position of hostility te a Re publican administration by giving heed te these Stalwart claims of what President Arthur is. going te de. We insist that it is unfair te condemn bim en account of these who assume te fore shadow his policy, and who de se upon the nrinciDle that "the wish is father te the thought." It will be time enough te condemn him when he cemmitts the overt act.
