ANNUS AND WILLIK.'S PKAVEU. It Old, Still One or tne Best ul Christmas Stories. 'Twos the eve bcloro Christinas; " Good night, " had been said, And Annie and Willie crept into bud ; There were tears on their pillows; and tears in their eyes, And each little bosom was heavy with slghv. For to-night their stern lather's command li.i-l been given That they must retire piecUsely at seven Instcadoi eight ; lor they troubled him more Willi questions unheard of than ever bclorc. He told them he thought this delusion a sin, No such a thing as "SanlaClaus " ever had been, And he hoped, alter this, lie bhould never more heur How ho scrambled down chimneys with ircs ents each year. And this is the reason why two little heads So restlessly tossed on tbcii-bolt, downy beds. Light, nine, and the clock on the steeple tolled ten, Not a word had bee:: spoken by either till then ; When Willlu'svad lauu Iioui the blanket did peep, And whispcicil, " Deur Annie, !s you last asleep V Why, no, brother Willie," :i sweet voice re" lilies, " I've tried iu vain, but can't slrit my eyes : For somehow it makes me so sorry because Dear papa had said there is no ' Santa Claus !' Now we know there is and it can't be denied. For he came every year before mamma tiled . But then I've been thinking that she used to pray ; Ami God would hear everything mauima would say. And perhaps she asked lilm to send Santa Claus here With the sacks lull ot presents he brought every year." " Well, why tau't we p'ay deal as mamma did then, An.: ask to send him with presents mien V " I've been thinking so, too," and without a word more Four little bare feet bounded out on the floor And fourllttle kness tho soft carpet pressed, And two tiny hands were clasped close to each breast. 'Now, Willie, you know we must iirmly be lieve That tho presents we :e-k lor we're sir e to re ceive, You must wait just as still till I say union, And by that you'll know tliat your turn ha1 como then. Dear Jesu3, look down on my brother and mo And jrrant us Iho favor we're :isklng ol Thee ; I want a nice book lull ol pictures, a ring, A writing desk, too, that si uts with a spring ; lllcss papa, dear Jcsiif, and cause him to see That Santa Claus loved us as luuchcvon as ho; Don't let him get fretltil and angry again At dear brother Willie and Annie, Amen.' " ' Please, Dcsus, 'el Sautu Taus tonic down to night, And bring us souic presents bcloro it ii light ; 1 want lie s'ou'd dive me a bright Utile box. Full of ac'ob.ifcj, some other nice blocks. And a bau full ot landy a book and a toy, Amen, ami then, Dcsus, I'll be a dood boy." Their prayers being ended, they ral-cdup their heads. And with hearts light and chceriul again sought their beds ; They were soon lost in slumber both peace ful and deep. And with fairies iu dreamland vvv roaming iu sleep. Eight, nine, and the little Fieiieh clock had struck ten Kre the lather had thought ol his children again ; lie seems now to hear Annie's halt-sinulhurrd sighs. And to see the big le.trs standing iu Willie's blue eyes. " 1 was harsh with my darlings," ho mentally said. " And should not have h-cnt ti'cm ho early to bed, Uulthonl was troubled my leelings louud vent, For bank stock to-day has gone down ten per ecnt. Hut ot com so they've lorgot their troubles cro this, ilut then I denied them the tlulcuasked-ior kis ; Hut just to make sure I'll steal to their di or For I never spoke harsh to my darlings be- " lore." So saying lie eollly ascended the stairs, And arriving at the door heard both ol their prayers, And Annie's "bless papa" draws foith the big tears, And Willie's grave promise falls sweet on his ears. " Strange, i-traiigo, I've forgotten," tnlil he, with a sigh, "How 1 longed when a child to have ChrUt uius draw nigh, I'll alone for my harshness," he Inwardly said, " 15v answering their prayeis, ere 1 sleep in my bed." Then he turned lo the stairs and soltlj went down. Threw ot! elvet slippers and silk diessing gown, Donned hal, coat, and boots, and was out in the stieet A millionaire facing the cold winter sleet ; llewcnttlist to a wonderlul "Santa Claus ' store (Hckncw it, for he'd passed it the day before), And theie he lound crouds on the same er" land as he, Slaking purchases of present, with glad heart and free, Nor stopped lie until he hail bought every thing From a box lull of candy to a tiny gold ring. Indeed, he kept adding .so much to his store. That the various presents outnumbered a score 1 Then homeward ho turned with his holiday load, And with Aunt Mary's uid in tho nursery 'twas slowed. Miss Dolly was seated beneath a pine tree, By tho side ot a table spread out lor tea: And writing desk then in the centre was laid, And on it a ring lor which Annie hud prayed; Four acrobats puinted in yellow and red Stood with a block house on a beautiful sled ; There were balls, dogs and horses, books pleasing to see, And birds ot all colois were perched in the trco ; While Santa Claus, laughing, stood up in tho top As 11 getting ready lor more presents to drop ; And as the fond father the plcturo surveyed He thought tor his trouble he had amply been paid; And ho said to hlmsolf as he brushed otT a tear, " I'm happier to-night than I have been tor a year. I've enjoyed more trucjucasuro than over bo lore. What care I if b.mk stock tals ten per cent. more! Hereafter 111 make It a rn!e. 1 believe, To have Santa Claus vhtt ns each Christmas eve." So thinking he gently extinguished tin light And tripping down stairs to retire for tho night. As soon as tho beams ot the brigti', morning sun Put the darkness to flight and the stars on a by one. Four little blue, eyes out ol sleep opened wide. And at the same moment tho presents espied. Then out their beds they sprang with a bound. And the very gifts prayed for were all ot them found; They laughed and thsy cried in their innocent glee. And shouted lor papa to come quick and see What presents old Santa Claus had brought iu the night (J ust the things they had wanted) and lelt be fore light. "And now," said Annie In a voice soft and low. You'll beliovc there's a Santa claus, papa, I kuow ;" While dear little Willie climbed up on his knee. Determined no secret between them should be; And told, m soft whispers, how Annie had said. That their dear, blessed mamma, so long ago dead, Used to kneel down and pray by the side ot her chair. And that God, up in hcivcu, had answered her prayer ! ' Then we dot up and prayed dust as well as we tould. And Dod answered our prayers ; now wasn't he dood ?" " I should say that he was it he sent you all these. And knew just what presents my children would please. (Well, well, let him think so, tho dear litUc elf, Twould" be cruel to tell him I did it myself.") Blind father ! who caused your stern heart to relent? Ami tho hasty word spoken so soon to re pent ? 'Twas the Being who bade you stvsal softly up stairs, Ami made you His agent to answer their prayers. M -- " Ono must bo poor to know the luxury of givlug."

Everything that ladies or dressmakers have occasion for in matching; deco rating, combining. What we are remarkable for, more than for anything else in silks, is va riety ; or, at least, we are re puted so. You hear it said by everybody: "If you want to match anything, or find a rare silk, even an unexpectable one, go to WanamakerV' The other peculiarity that everybody expects to find here is less pleasant to speak of: lower prices. We put it second, because there are people who don't credit us with lower prices. Still, we imagine that if one should assert the con trary, almost everybody in Phil adelphia would believe it. Oftener we speak of other aspects of our trade; aspects less obvious or less recognized. It is well occasionally to giv old news. Next-outer olrcle, south entrance to main building.
