A fanner bad a field of corn of rather large extent In tending which, with anxious care, inarli time and toil he spent; Hut after working long and hard, he saw with grief and pain. Ills corn began to droop and fade becaeso II want ed rain. So sad and restless was lilsxitul. at home he could not stop. Hut to his fields repaired each d.'.y tj view his withering crop. One day as he looked np despairing, at the sky. Two little rain dropg In the clouds his sad raco chanced to spy. 'I feci so grieved and vexed," said one, "to see him look so sad, I w ish I could do hi 111 some good, Indeed I should be glad. Just seethe trouble he has had, c:td if it should not rain. Why, all his (oil. and time, and care he will havo spent In vain." "What use are you!" cried number two, "to water so lunch ground? You are nothing but a rain drop, and con! I not wet one mound," "What you have said," his frlcr.il replied, "I know Is very true. Hut I'm resolved to do my best, r.nd more I cannot do. I'll try to rhtwr his heart a bit, s.i now I'm off ; here gees !" Ant down the llttIraindropf.-!l iipontlie fanner's nose. "Whatcver'sthat?" the farmer cried; "was it a drop of rain?

My tears, fitooil porcelain pots, full ofeecntcfl blossoms, orange ami lemon trees, tlio winter Ions; it baffled Xcw Eng land chills, and was the sunniest spot in my memory of home. I walked softly to the door of the room. Hist! AY hat vision was this ? Surely an angel, for the vision was clad in diaphonous drapery; upon its shoulders gleamed silver wings; upon its head glimmered a star the siar of IJethlehem ! In its hand was a pink taper, such as lights the Christmas-tree, and it flitted about the (lowers, plucking what pleased it best. YViyj it the angel of home? Yes, surely the home angel ; for it was the face I knew so well the face that come to me on the sea, in the night watches. The light from the taper fell upon me, the vision darted forward, the lovely eyes held me a moment, then the tender mouth, smiling, cried, "It is, it is!' The household flocked about me on. the instant. I was brought into the "best room," whieh was garlanded j with long festoons of greenery, and gleamed with holly-berries, lit by tall waxen candles, whose sconces! wings, give the children their gifts, that afterward we may have some what to eat. Wilhelm, I can tell by his eyes, longs for his supper." "For shame, aunt Martha," I cried, "I am impervious to hunger." "Not tiiou, indeed; thou wei t ever a hungry bid." ".Nay, nay, Martha," reproved my mother, "thy tongue is too i harp." "Never mind, sweet motherling,' pleaded I. " Thou knowest the tonguo of my aunt was my spicc (jish from my infancy; she berated me in my long clotl.es." By this time the children were rev eling in their gifts, and now it was th8 turn of the older ones. I found myself like to be smothered, if not with roses, then with the gifts that came upon me iu a shower knitted scarfs, socks, woolen head gear, snow mitten?-, and what not. I looked like a bauta Llaus mysclt, so ucaizeneu was I with all varieties of apparel, that feminine fingers can devise for masculine luxury. "Thou wilt have t set up a haber dashery," quoth Margretta, with a half sneer. "Would.st thoti have him giftless," tokened on the table by garlandry of green branch and hollyberry. We ate and drank with Christmas glee; and then came the cutting of the largest cake, the one that held the ring, according to the immemorial custom. Aunt Martha bore the cake about in triumph, and when she came to me said in a whisper: "Take the slice toward thee, Wil helm; methinks, by curious coinci dence, thou wilt find therein the treas ure." I found, surely enough, a plain gold ring, one of betrothal. My courage, ray hope, all came back. Hail my aunt's whisper anything to do with it? j I held up the ring that all might1 see. .My niotner nieu her eyes on me; Margretta held her head up proudly she did not doubt my choice; aunt Martha looked at me earnestly, her lips moved, I almost thought she prayed. j I his I felt rather than saw; for French A nerdot.

Aunt Martha was as pungent I watched Albert now, and saw his clover-pink cheeks flush, when she gave him a watch chain worked in blue and gold. How I longed to tear it from him. She did not come near me. But, her task being finished, my mother said, in guarded accents: "Hilda, come hither."

As for the orphan, Hilda, she paints like an angel; she is busy about a matter that she keeps within iier bosom; methinks that it is thy picture she makes for my Christmas pleasure." 1 folded the letter, and laid it next my heart ; w here was the shame that my eyes were dripping? Uut yet I smiled, as ever I did, at the thought of Hilda. Have you not kept one thought in your heart, sweet, sacred, never spoken, save in prayers, that touched yonr life with purity, and kept afar influences that might de grade and mar f This had been with me the thought ol Hilda, i reniem- liered when she had conic to our home. On Christmas eve before the lamps were lit, while the red-firelight shone warm, and the "snow-twilight'' closed in, my father, entering, set the figure of a little one upon the velvet rug before the wide grate, that leaped and glowed with welcome. Methought this had been the Christ-child, for the little one was lily fair, with the print of a summer rose on each cheek ; also the lips were sweetly smiling, and set upon the long, shining hair was a crystle crown that sparkled in the lire- light. 1 he child drew me as none had done. I ran to her. "Stay with us a! way," cried I. Yes. Wilhelm," said mv father. "This is a little sister I have brought home to thee ; she has no home, so she shall lie one with us." I took the hand of the I ttle one, and saw she was a human child like myself; and that which I had esteem ed a crystal crown, was a diadem of siiow-llnkes that had lighted on her shining hair, and that now, melted by the warmth, had changed to dew spangles sparkling in the fire-light. I shared my gifts, my coinfifs, my toys, my books, with the little one; she went to sleep on my shoulder. This was Hilda. Yet now did my mother speak to me of Margretta. Had she not men tioned her as a third cousin, that I might sec she were not too near lor a wife? Had sho not spoken of the lauds that were next to ours, to re mind me of my father's latest wish? Well, well, I had a heart that could dare all things so let the matter rest ! The train stopped The lumbering stage-coach rolled over the snowy road, on either side of which rose the bills, white as brides in their wintry robes. Surely I was home at last! Husk was darkening into night, and, quietly as one of its shadows, I stole through the back porch, for I was fain to be the surprise of all surprises upon this Christmas eve. The hall was long and wide. The walls were bare, except for an old portrait in a black frame, carved quaintly the portrait of a lady. I had shrunk from it always, for the face was of one with a strong will, and a weak intelect, a haugty spirit, and a hart of ice. It chilled me now hang ing there. To the right of me was my mother's "flower room." It faced the south, and within it had always ''A mit -Martha kissing a man!'' cried a cold metalic voice. 'I thought you held that a crime." "There ! thats's your cousin, Mar gretta, thats speaking," quolb aunt Martha testily, as it she would say, Nothing agreeable from that quarter. I turned curiously to contemplate my bride elect She was tall, straight as a pine-tree, and cherry of cheek. Her stately head wore a crown of blue-black hair, wound braid upon braid above the high, somewhat nar row forehead which I now proceeded to kiss. She bowed her head, saving stiHIy, "Thou art welcome, cousin Wilhelm." And this I knew was her best man ner, and that she was as glad to see me as another, and no more. In the meantime my heart ached. Where was the sweet, silvered-wing-ed home-angel, that my soul had claimed for its own from the first? Sighing, I looked down at the little ones, who, at first half terrified at my bronzed and bearded presence, now clung around me, caressed my hand juiuecvcs, that iiad ever swayeti me ! when liiey lookwii as now, keen wun I decision. "1 would rather that Margretta should ever remain my cousin, qaotn 1, in tones loud, ycl Ooid. llid lliltia uuuci'alaud.' She drew away tue Ilovvet'-soil patm, she turned ltotii me, the print ol a rose on e ucu check. Dot alas! us she turned, 1 saw that about her neck glimmered a lino gold chain, and 1 laiicied that hidden iu her bosom was a locket. Was it his, that intolerable Albert. Had I come home tor tins ' "Play, that the children may sing their carol, dauguter Hilda," com manded my moUier. Hilda, sitting at tho small, upright piauo, began to play and sing soltiy.

Alter a little while the buyer wanted cold, and she nestled ! to examine the progress of the polish- birdlin" that had ' "? am seemed rather disappointed, ram. mv be lt is! and cried, "Sailor man, tell the sea." "Yes, and the whales," "and about the mermaids, that comb their long, yellow hair." This was stopped by my third cousin, Margretta, who said, in her frozen accents, that no stimmmer heat could ever warm, "Silly chil dren, do you think cousin Wilhelm Las nothing better to do than to tell tales of his voyages ?" The little ones, chilled by these ac cents, hung their heads abashed ; but presently their downcast visages be came radiant, lhe doors of the in ncr-room unfolded, and disclosed the memorial fir-tree, a glittering, daz zling object, that made even us older people wonder ; as for the children they were speechless. Crystals, like icicles, depended from the spread ing branches; a likeness of fine snow powdered it; a hundred tapers light ed it; and, curious anomaly, a hun dred flowers bloomed amid icicles and snow, and a warble of birds came from the throats of tiny song sters, that flitted in and out of the scented boughs, held thereto by in visible threads. Above all this was a portrait, garlanded in flowers, with the legend, in (Jernian, "Welcome to the Wanderer." Had I sat in spirits for the like ness? It mirrored my feautures as if it had been a looking-glass. Angel fingers had painted it, 1 knew. She, who, standing neath the tree, out shone its radiance with her angel beauty, her sweetness of woman hood, child, fairy what was she? so small, so lithe, so floating in her white drapery, with her star-lit flow ing hair. My arms ached to impris on her forever, lest the heavens should absoib her the heavens to which she seemed to belong! "I can tell what is most beautiful to thee, Albert," said Margrctta's voice, at this juncture. The voice was a trifle changed now. Its cold dry tones were slightly heated by the sting of malice. A quick pang thrilled nie. Who was Albert? What had he to do with my angel! I looked around. A youth, with pink-clover cheeks, a well-knit frame, and a top-knot of light-brown curls, lightly frizzled, met my eyes. elle rturncd my look, which wa on of unconscious defiance, with another. "Yes, I know which is the most beautiful to me, the angel Hilda." This he said with a baby lisp, yet with suflicicnt firmness. I could have clutched him by the throat, and thrust him from the house. "Well, well, we have stood staring long enough here," said the lively ac cents of aunt Martha, who was rub bing her eyes in the most suspicious manner, for the beautiful, despite her irony, always affected her to tears. "Come, little angle with the eilyer The children swarmed around her us about like a ltock of doves, perched upon her chair, hung over her shoulders, aud rang out the melody like a chime of bells; still through all I could catch the gliding accents of sweetest sweetness, like a nl: lreshenmg a meadow of daisy flowers. "Thou shouldst hear Hilda and Albert sing together," whispered Mar gretta iu my ear. The words stung like a swarm of bees as she meant they should. Together?" faltered I, scarce knowing what I said. "Hidst thou aot know of their love? Yes, they have ever of late gone to singing school, and looked over the same book in company Surely, thou canst not but have seen that his eyes follow her every where." 1 vailed my feelings; the heart that! has loved truly and long cannot learu doubt at once. I said to myself, "She who has painted my picture, has painted it with the eyes of faith. What gives faith but love?" "Supper is ready," cried aunt Mar tha, bustling in, and an indescribable fragrance of coffee, spices, and what not that was good, followed her. "Thou wilt take out Margretta, my sou," commanded my mother. I obeyed. Albert, as if of course, offered his arm to Hilda, who still wore her wings and star, for the chil dren would havt? it so. My confi dence at this left me. I was in de spair again. As we passed through tho wide, old fashioned hall, with its carved stair case, Margretta pointed to the portrait, with its grim square of black aud gilt, that, now struck upou by a beam of moonlight, showed plainly the handsome, unpleasant face in its center. "They say I am like her; do you think so, cousin ?'' she said. "Perhaps; but then you are more beautiful." This was true, if I was a fool to say it, for Margretta was handsome to the outward gaze, however the heart reversed the decision. Here was the supper room, and oue's mouth watered. Was it cold enough to freeze one outside ? What matter, when the cofl'cc urn, huge, crusted with rich frost work of silver, as its years and dignity warranted, was nigh hidden in a cloud-land of steam. I5eneath the swinging globe of light, that overhung the oval ta ble, was a china stand, heaped high with the glow of crimson apples; irreat frosted cakes, aunt Martha'd within them as a found its home. "Dost thou wear a locket trothed ?'' "Yes, Wilhelm."

"Hemeuiber, if it is another's, 1 throw it away," I said. "Nay, my Wilhelm, thoushalt not: I love it too dearly." I forced the trinket open. Smiling in my face, was my own painted im age, truer even than the portrait. The tender scene was interrupted. Margret'.a, looking more than ever like her ancestress, whose bale fill face hung above, stood before us. "One Whom thou hast wronged would have something to say to thee, Wilhelm." "I will settle that," said I, rising Outside, in the porch, I found Al bert. ! did not know he could look so grim, yet I felt kindly toward him toward all the world. "Well?" said I, mildly. "When one man wrongs anothcr.in these parts, we light it out," said A! bert. "Albert," sighed a gentle voice over my shoulder. It was Hilda. Albert looked abashed. "What, would you flight with my husband.' Hidst thou not guess we had loved one another al ways since we were born almost?" "Margretta told me otherwise. I5ut for him, she said, I might have had you." "Margretta spoke unwisely. Thou wilt forgive her and me, Albert; for, indeed, I am innocent ; I loved one so truly, I never thought of any other ; and thou didst seem a very brother." Albert spoke no word, but grasp ed my hand, and held it like a vice, looked once over his shoulder at my betrothed, and went away. When we came back in the "best room," there was no one there ; aunt Martha, as I suspected then, and knew afterward, had dispearscd them. In the inner room, however, of her old father to serve in the wars. The Treasurer concludes that there is no lack of similar heroines, at least in disposition.

My mother was looking at it fixed ly. She heard us enter, and turned angrily toward us. I chose the short way, and the bold one. It was thus I had won indulgences from her in my childhood. When I spoke in this manner, she felt I was my father's son. I pointed to the legend. "Does the inscription set in flowers lie, my mother ? Thy son is not wel come, methinks! Out in .the wide world, will I find a home for nic and 1 for mine." j Her face grew tender all at once.! The eyes lost their fire. She burst into tears. She held out her arms. "My son, mo son !" she crid. I brought my little one, mr Hilda, to her, and she folded us both in one embrace, blessing us. Midnight found us by the fire, each nn a stool at my mother's knee. More sacred than lands, dearer even than my father's wish, was the one heart-craving that declared Hil da was its own". The wide world owned not for me a creature so sweet as the tiny figure, that folding within ray arms, with my mother's eyes above me, I christened, then and ev er, my "wee wife." In the honey-dew of a happiness sweeter t .an I can tell sweeter than my mother's time-honored draught of metheglin, I drink to all the world, and crave that true hearts, everywhere, may come to their own, at the blessed, beautiful Christmas time; the hallowed time of "good gifts unto men," of that blossoming of the world that shall shine, when flowers are dead, "Peace and good will peace and good-will on earth for evermore." as for a Iamb.

A case of the most abject poverty whieh, in a measure, serves to show the extremes in which many of the poorer classes are plated, was report ed bv police officer at the Home of Little Wanderers a few days since. The officer, in the performance of his duties, hail his attention called to two half clad children, wandering about tho streets with bare heads and feet, in search of cold victuals. On investigation he found that these children had a brother and sister home in bed with no clothes to put 00. When the two became chilled and tired they went home and changed places witn the others, who then doned the rags and took their turn at begging. The mother was a widow, and she was obliged to leave the children every day for her work in another part of the" city. By her labor she earned $3 a week, two of which 6hc gave for rent of the room she and her children occupied. The family of five were obliged to live on $1 a week and such morsels of food as the children picked up from day to-day. Boston AJc?rtiie. ing them to the right and left, open ing the lines for Morgan to sweep through in quest of men and horses, are among i lie most romantic inci dents of the war. Few have forgot ten how, early in the war, he took possession of the wires between Nashville and a body of troops in Southern Kentucky, giving peremp tory orders not to send any more troops, but plenty of provisions and amunition, and how an old friend, then in charge at Nashville, detect ing the peculiar touch of fingering of the bogus operator, flashed back to him this good natured answer: "Get out, Saville, or I'll send the cavalry after you." Saville volunteered bis services at Shreveport after every resident operator had been stricken down, and died at his post. It is stated that a wealthy Boston gentleman met a prominent Judge in the streect a few days since and said: "Judge, I suppose you believe I am a sane man ?" "Certainly," replied the Judire, "but why ?" "I have made my will to-day, "and I did'nt know hot some fifth" cousin would swear I was non composmentis, and to I wanted high judicial authority for my sanity." It won't do to contest that will while Judge X. is living. A young man get off a smart thing last week. It was a mustard plaster that he sat down on before retiring for the night. orZO
