kept ahead with bia work, and when
fairly alone, he drew from hia pock
et and read for tba hundredth time
tba letter ha bad received from old
Mallory tha day before. It read i
iiBTHBL roanana, vto. za.
Ma Taokua Halpiwb Dear JJir :

After tba receipt of thie, the day
before. Tom ditmiaaed the idea of
caliiog at the Mallory mauaion the
nie-bt before Unnatmae. Agnea reed
ing aloua in tha faint hearth light of
tba great parlor or ber borne, pa
tiently waiting bia coming. The
clock in tha kitchen bad atruok

tba honae waa cloaed, aava tha win
dow blind that faced the road lead-
inr no hill from tba direction of
Meadow Ulen. not lorn did not
coma. Iialfopeat eigut ana do eigue.
The minutea became houra, and
the heart of Agnea Mallory, tank
within ber at tba bitter dieeppoint
ment. It waa Obriatrnaa eve. The
night of all oighta abe bad looked
forward to with ao many bright au
ticipatione. She bad known Tom
irotn cutltluood. but bad ooiy loveu
him eight monthe, and ae the clock
atruck nine the gave up all bopea,
and aat buried in the deep arena of
the rocking chair crying aa if her
very heart would break. The little
triflea abd had ao delicately arranged
upon the eide board for him, and
which a few houra ago eoornod bo
beautiful, now grew horrible in her
eight, aa aha wapt in ber adject mia
ery until aha elopt It waa twelve
o'clock when ahe woke to proceed to
her own chamber, but not to eleep.
Aud thua we And ber on the bright
beautiful Chriatmaa morning, look
ing from ber chamber window far
down toward 'Meadow Glen,' won
dering why Tom bad not come.
And aa ahe eat looking, the mill
boy from the Glen camo up the bill.
Agnet divined bia miaaiou, and io
an inatant abe noiteleaaly glided to
the front door, and out to meet aa
it proved to be Tom e meeaeoger,
bearing a note to ber. Haatily tak
inir it, abe bade the boy aeek oovsr
in an outbuilding until aha appeared
with an anawer. In ber room abe
read Tom'e letter t
In (At Mill, Chrittmat.
Aa-iaa t I aend yoa a letter I re
ceived from your father yeaterday.
I cannot believe tbat it la yonr with.
I did not dare coma to you lttt

it now only after aavera trial. I
mntt know my fate from yon Agoea.

She then read the ernel letter of
bar father, of wbioh aba bad known
nothioar. But like a aenaibla girl aba
kept ber own oounael, aat down and
wrote Tom tba following reply.
At Borne, Chrittmat.
Tom I hardly know what to
aay. i waited for you laat nignt nn
til lata. I knew nothing of tba let"
ter until I read it tbia moment. Be
aeaured, Tom, your Agnea never no

letter aa that. I ahall not notice it,
nor need you. Act aa if yon never

Tom read tha reply, and detarmin-
ad at once. Tba mill wheel atoppad
and tbadoora were cloaed and ha re
paired to bia room at home. Giving
ordere tbat abia horaea ahooid ba
driven to tha door, ha waa aooo
ready, and away ha drove to tba fur
aaea on "buaineaa , Old Mallory
bad diatinctly aaid tbat ha ahonld at
all timea ba read to aaa bin; at all
homo on boeineaa. Tom drove op,

Mallory, and aoon atood before tha
baojrhty proprietor of tha Bethel
Fnrnaoaa, lir, MaUory waa in no
fair mood to ooovaraa apoo . aoob
boaioaaa aa Tom bad soma npoo.
"Good morning, lit. ' Jlotj.' said
k Coo4 BjorolK 1 . "I
-k .Ixzzi fUf"
too, to remember 1 am in aarneat,
Tom, without waitiog for a word in
explanation, entered bia alaigb and
drove oil.
Squire Mallory ohucklad to him
aelf aa ba watobad Tom alpine
drive rapidly away. Entering tba
houae, ha called "Agoea, Agnea, here
ia a package your Tom left for yon,
witu hit compliment. I nope and
truat yon will have auflicient atrengtb
to live through it, aa Tom aayt ba
ia irreparably ia earnett.
nbe took tbe paokaae and turned
pale. She bad aeen Tom at tbe of-1
lice, and noted hie hurried and ex-
oiUd manner. Taking tba package
to ber room, iu breatbleaa anxiety
the opened it. Tba moat beautiful
watch aud broooho chain of pure
gold came from the package of many
placet of paper t wbicn . they bad
been wrapped. With it eaine a note
from Tom.
At home ChtUtmat.
Daliio Aaata 1 wanted to bang
thia little token about your neck laat
night, aa your Chriatmaa preaaut,
but why I did not you know. To
day I told your father I did not care
for yoa, and bad returned noma lit
tle artiolee of yoara. Forgive me
bui be aileuk It waa tba beat 1
could do. 1 will drive without bell a
Eaat your bouaa thia evening at 7.
e at tha front gate for a ride with
your I ok.
And tha boavy dark cloud of do-
tpondeucy waa lifted from the mind
of tba wounded youug girl, and then
it waa that aba looked out of ber
window with a light heart and threw
kiaaea in profuaiun iu tbe direction
of Meadow Glen. A moody.thought
ful, eilent daughter waa Agnea all
that day. Tbe liourt wore ou and
ber father waa congratulating bim
aelf upon bia eaay victory. She'll
forget all tbia Iu a lew daya, be
whiupered to mother Mallory, aa
they aat talking over tha doinga of
tba patt few daya.
f uoctaally at tba boar appointed,
Agnea entirely unconcerned left tbe
cittiog-room wbere aba bad been
reading with her father and mother,
clipped noialettly through the ball
and vestibule, donnod hor fura, cape,
ahawl and bounet ia an iuataut, ai
leutly opened tbe door and iu an iu
atant waa out at tbe gate waiting tbe
ooniing of Tom. Tue moon chonu
out brilliantly and the beautiful
Curittmaa uight lay jeweleJ ia itt
beamt. In a tncouj Tom came driv.
ing along with hia elenut epau aud
aleigh without bulla. Agnee entor
ed inatautly, without a word, anda-
way they new over tbe bills far out
of the eight of fie Mallory mauaion
I ben began their Chrittmat. Tbe
belle were aoon drawn from an extra
blauket in the bottom of the aleigh
and placed upon the horaea, and to
thoir cueerf Jl muaio tbe young lov
ers went danoiog over the auow ae
happy at happy ooaKl be.
1 bat nigut tuere waa a wediiing.
Tbe Halpiue borne rang oat with
the merry matio of the astembled
people. Tbe daughters of the Rit
tera and Hainmernleya, Harkawaya,
Trenwiiba and Thomatea, with their
male attendant!, bad been invited,
and a merrier throng never danced
to tbe aouoda of a wedding orchea
tra. Until way after midnight could
tbe bymna and aooga be beard com
ing from tboaa happy people, while
tbe great warm fire crackled on tbe
hearth, and tbo cider and apples,
wine and cake disappeared to tbe
toaat "loog life and happiness to
Tom and hia runaway bride.'
It waa mora than a year after
warda before father Mallory became
aatitfactorly reconciled. But Agnet
waa happy, Mra. Mallory was pleat
ed two hours after aba heard of it,
and there is not now a man in all
the country round more pleaaed
with hia aon-in law than old rather
Mallory bimaelf And it was not
"tha worst Cbrittmts for Agn

Another Christmas anniversary it
at band, hightoeu hundred and
seventy-eight yeara bavo rolled away
tioce tbe coming of him, whose mis
sion was to aave. Tbe mind goes
back over the time that htt interven
ed tince the fir it Christum, and we
marvel at the change tbat has been
wrought. Before this event, man
bad no hope of a life beyond the
tomb. All appcrtaiuiug to the fu
ture of the soul was terribly uncer
tain. Many problems of science had
bvon solved by tho learued, but the
great question t Where goes tho
soul sftur it loavos tho body, L-afSod
the sagos and philosophers of aiti
quity. It was not until the cotuiog
of Him, who noarly nineteen centur
ies ago la on his mothor'a brent in
a manger in Hethlehem, that 'life
and immortality were brought to
light" What was unanswerablo by
a Plato and a Socrates was solved
by tbe son of tbe carpenter.
Wbatau iutluenco this wonderful
character has exortod on mankind.
Remove fronl our libraries tbe works
written, either directly or iudirectly,
apon the subject of Christ, and
which wonld not liavo boon produc
ed bad it not been for Zia cotuiug,
and what a vancuumyou have made
in oar literature. A world of bar
barians has been civilized. And,
more thsn all this, millions upon
millions to-duy surround God's
throne, rejoiciug that ihore was a
Christmas in the days of Kiug ller
