THE COLB CHAIX.
A dreary November twilight Detd
leaves redoing dawn at every frost of
tbe inconstant tviod stranire, "picy
ecenis rising, oat of tbe groundand
tbe new moon banging like a sickle
of blood over tbe purpled dark of tbe
eoutberlj ek.
Dreary and chilly ; a djin? vetr ; a
fast gloaming dock ; yet tLe windows
of Mrs. Oigate'a old brown frame
bonee bang out tbeir cheery signals
bebind tbe fringed cotton curtains,
and when tbe kitchen door opened
you could see tbe red shine of tbe
blaring logs, tbe figures coming
and going like a miniature magic
lantern.
It was Dora Oigate who opened
It, and came flitting out to tbe well,
with a scarlet shawl festooned over
ber bead, and an empty cedar pail in
her band.
As her light feet pattered over the
carpet of automu leaves in the path
way, she sang a snatch of that good
old-fa6hioned hymn:
Buck of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thta
"My goodness aliv! What's
that?"
For as the words trilled sweetly
from ber tongue, a tall dark figure
bad arisen from a low wooden bench
under an apple tree, whose boughs
overbuog tbe well.
"Don't be alarmed," said a deep,
sweet contralto, with a scornful in
tonation in its sound. "It's only me,
Dora. Joanna Elfield. What then?
Have I fallen so low that I am no
longer worthy to sit beneath tbe old
apple tree ? If so, tell me at once and
111 quit."
"Ton know that I did not mean
that, Joanna."
"It's bard to tell what people mean
or don't mean, now-a days," 6aid Jo
anna, picking at tbe mangy frioge of
the frayed rag of a shawl. "1 was
tired. 1 wanted a drink of water, so
I came to the old well. I'll go away
if you say so."
"Joanna," said Dora hesitatingly,
'are you hungry ?"
"Huogry! So. There's a sort of
craving, tbongb, on my stomach,
which is next to it, I suppose."
"Would you like sometbiug u
eat?"
"I don't beg."
"Wait a mioute, Joanna."
Like an arrow Dora Ozgate sped
back into the house, where ter thrifty
mother was just setting tbe teapot on
tbe table. Fresh baked waffles steam
ed on one side ; hot biscuits were
piled in drifts of enow on tbe other ;
preserves gleamed redly through the
cut trlass of a small dish, and liquid
bonev oozed from a lamp of comb
For Mrs. Deacou Feabody and her
daughter Comfort wrere come to tea,
and Mrs. Oijate was a housewife to
be excelled hy none.
"Come, Dora, quick with that wa
ter," said Vrs Oxgate. "And shut
tbe door. What do you suppose is
the D9e of fires, if
"Mother," said Dora, speaking in a
slightly embarrassed toae. "Joanna
ElGeld is out by tbe well ! She is
old and hungry, and "
Mrs Oxgate's face hardened into
lines of stone.
Miss Comfort Peabody drew her
skirts close around ber, with an in
Toluntary movement, and Mrs. Fea
body louked bard into the bowl of ber
teacup.
"Then let her stay cold and hun
gry for all of me ! Joanna ElGeld is
no associate for either you or me, Do
ra 1 She has run away from home,
and acted wilt common etrolliof play
etorn she has sung at low concerts
Instead of keeping that fine voice of
hers for tbe Lord sbe San, or ber
own free will, given up all that is de
cent and reputable, and people do sav
that she has taken to drinking ! And
you expect me to open my doors o
such as her ?
Mrs. Peabody uUered a sympithet
ic groan.
"Bat. mamma," faltered Dora, half
frightened at her own boldness, "don't
on remember that lie came to call,
not the riarbteous. but sinners to re
pentance ?"
"Silence, girl 1 How dare you quote
tbe scriptures to me r" cried Mrs. Vx
gate, ber stern brow clouding over
darkly. "Bring in that pail of water
at once, and let us have no further
diocussion."
Thus rebuffed, Theodore Oxgate
crept back into the chill, frosty twi
light dejected and empty handed.
"Ah," said Joanna ElGeld, shortly,
"I thought how it would be. Well,
it's nothing new. Every body'r doors
are earn against me."
"Is it true, Joanna?" whispered
Dora, coming close to her.
"Is what true ?"
"That you drink."
"Of course it's true. You would
drink it you were driven as 1 am
Driven and bunted! There are times
wben yoa would sell your whole
soul for a chance to be tound in
drink 1" .
"Ob. Joanna. I am so sorry for
you.'?
"Sorry 1 say that again, las 1 peo
pie bave mostly left off being sorry
forme!" said Joanna, with a hard
laugh.
"But. listen. Joanna. Do be ser
ious. Won't yoo do differently ?
"I am not so bad as some folk?
think me, Dora Oxgate, except tbe
horrid craving for drink. I bave been
nothing worte than wild and willful
Believe me, child, for it is God's
truth. Only, when a girl gets on the
down bill every Christian man or wo
man thinks it is their doty to give ber
yet another push."
"Then vou will try to retrieve your
own sell ?"
"How can I ? What is there left
xf me ?"
"Your superb Toice, Joanna."
"Yoa would bave me sing myself
into respectability, eh ? And in the
meantime I should starve."
"Yoa need not starve, Joanna
Here !"
Quick as lightning, ebe drew a
small gold chain, with a gold locket
shaped like a heart, dangling at its
nd, from ber neck.
"Dear Joanna, take this, it i
W'rth money, I koow ; and it is all I
have in the world to give. Sell it
and use tbe money for your own
needs."
Joanna ElGeld stared vaguely at
the gleaming trinket
"Are you in earnest, Dora 7"
"Of course I am. Ilush! Mother
is calling me. I must go."
"God bless you lor this," said Jo
mnna, huskily. "And, Dora one
word more ; I'm lonely Joanna El
field, but if yoa will, let me kiss yoa
jaBt once."
By the way of answer, Theodore
Oxgate threw her arms around the
tall girl's neck, and pressed her soft,
cold lips close to tbe other's cold
mouth. And as she did eo, something
plashed on ber cheek a hot, round
tear.
Tbe next minute Joanna Elfield
disappeared into tbe world of shad
owe that was bovering over all tbe
autumn landscape. And as she went
he murmured, unconscious that she
wm speaking aloud :
"S me one believes in me yet! In
me ! It's a strange sensation, aud yet
it gives ono something to live for,
after all I"
"Dora! Theodore! Why don't
you answer? But no one thinks it
worth while to listen to me now-a-
dy!"
It was Mrs. Uxate s shrill, piping
voice; and Mrs. Oxgate, helpless from
paralysis, sat in ber cushioned cbair
in tbe sunny doorway.
"What is it mamma ? ' Dora asked,
coming to tbe door.
The Oxgate farm house bad drifted
sadly to decay. Fences had fallen ;
gates hung creaking on one binge ;
sunny pasture lands were neglected ;
grass meadows bad toppled over with
tbeir own weight of Harvest. Aud
Mrs. Oxgate herself looked, as she
eat in the doorway, like the very gen
ius of decay.
"Tbe carriage with tbem grand
people that has bought the Glenwood
Place. A gentleman dressed like tbe
Prince of Wales, and a lady wbote
diamonds flaxbed fit te blind one.
Ab me ! it's fine to be young and neb !
Look ! tbe carriage is stopping ! Per-1
baps they've dropped souieihinr ?
Sure's 1 live tbe lady's coming back,
trailing ber purple silk dress in tbe
dust tike it was domestic gingham.
Ob, dear me, I wish 1 bad my best
hat on."
She gave her apron a twitch and
tried to settle ber scant skirts over
ber poor, useless feet as tbe tall,
stalely figure swept up to the door.
"Tnis is Oxgate Place, is it not ?"
tbe lady asked in a drep, sweet voice
that betrayed ber at once.
Dora answered promptly :
"This is Oxgate Place; aod you are
Joanna ElGeld "
"Not Joanna ElGeld now ; but Jo
anna Avenel," sue rrjoined, suiiliuK
aud flushing. "Here is my husbaud.
George, this is tbe friend I told you
of, wbose band ten years ago lifted
me out of tbe darkness and set me in
tbe right path. On, G- rge, you know
now much I owe Ln . '
Mrs Avenel was weeping softly
now yet tbe t-miles shone brigoilt
through her tears
"Dora," she added, "that was tbe
turning point in my life See ! I havt
your gold chain wiib tbe heart yet.
I knew then that one human beio
bad faith in me still, and it renewed
tbe fountain of life witbin me! Dora,
Dora, you are my guardian angel.
God bless you tor it."
People wondered uoch that those
rich Avenels of the Place bad an in.
significant chit like Dora Oxgate so
much with tbem, to say nothing of
that tiresome, prosing old b re, ber
mother. But Mrs. Avenel was a
great lady, and of course could be ex
cused for having her whims one ot
which was always to wear a thread
like chain of gold about ber oeck,
with a heart shape 1 locket hanging
trom iu
"Wben the could bave diamonds
instead!" said Miss Comfort Peabody,
who had ot late observed that she bad
always thought Joanna Elfield to be a
genius."
And Dora Oxgate, altbougb ebe
bad settled into a eolnary, nard-work-
ng old maid, kuew that ber apparent
ly purposeless life bad uot been iu
vain.
"For there isjv among tbe angel
of heaven over oue einner that repent-
eth."
A Performlssa; Saniaoat.
If report speaks truthfully, all tbe
astounding feats performed by tbe
strong men of antiquity, including
Hercules, bamsou, aud SL'Ao ot Cro-
lona, nave ueen cappea oy toe recent
performance of a French athlete, Jo-
iguery by name, who is at present
fulfilling to crowded bouses ua en
gagement at tbe Berlin Vaudeville
Theatre.

Tossing aoout nuge cannon bans

pears nightly on a raised plaitorm in

platform is suspended an ordiimry
trapeze. His ankles are tbeu fasten
ed to tbe trapeze, so that be Bwiuge

urface of tbe ceutral stage, aud iu

A horse covered wiib gay trappiugs,
aod begirt wiib a broad leather sur
cingle, to wbicb two strong loops are
attached, is then cunveyed to tbe
stage, and there mounted by a full
grown mao.
Wben all these preliminaries bave
bten efleced, Joiguery seizes the
loops in both bands, aud, by sheer
muscular Birengtu. lifts the borse aud
bis rider some inches off tbe stage
eustaining tbeir combined weight iu
the air tor several seconds, and letting
tbem down again as blow It aud
eveuly as be bad rained ibem.
Upon the occasion of bis first per
formance, tbe borse selected for tbe
experiment was eo panic stricken by
being lit.ed off his teet that, wbeu it
was lowered to the level of tbe plat
form, its knees gave way under it,
and tbe attendants bad a great deal
of trouble to make it stand up again
All Berlia is floekingto M. Joigaery's
entertainment, which would appear
to be tbe chief attraction of the Ger
man Capital just now ; for, while tbe
managers of the leadiug theatres are
complaining of empty houses, the
Vaudeville is compelled, night ater
uight, to turo buudreds of curious
Berliuers away from its doors.

To pay a compliment is to tell the
truth, aud to tell it as though vou
meant it. And tbe only way to do
that is to mean it If a gill is pr tty
or accomplished, if she plays well, or
sings well, or dai.ces well, or talks
well, it, in a word, she pleases, why
iu tbe name of common seuce sboblo
she not be told of it ? Dju'i blurt it
out before everybody. That will
erre to make ter feel m c mfortable
ud make you appear rediculous. Say
it quietly when opportunity offers,
but aay it strongly. Couvev the idea
distinctly and fully, so I bat there may
be no mistake about it. But don't
do it "officially."
Formality is about tbe coldest thing
known. Moretbaoooe maiden has
been made happy say or bait au
hour by a man's taking tha trouble
to say a pleasant thing about a toilet
that be liked, aod mauy of fashiouV
follies bave been given up by girls
wben they noticed a discreet ilenc
concerning tbem on tbe part of tbeir
genUesaeo friends. In general term-,
it may be said that it is always bet
ter to Bay an agreeable thing than a
disagreeable one, better r all par
ties.
Tbe gallant who, when a young,
lady stepped on his foot while dauc-1
ing and asked pardon, said, "Don't
mention it; a dainty little foot like
that wouldn't hurt a daisv," notODly
told the troth, but doubtless felt more
comfortable than the boor who, wben
ii toot was stepped on, roared out,
To at 's right; climb all over me
with your great clumsy hoofs."

In the evening games of winter
gathenogs of young people, and old
er ones, too, it often becomes neces
sary to puuish soon, oue, or more, of
ibe company by imposing a "forfeit."
The peuauce should' be something
ibat either ia not easy to follow out
lo tbe letter that is, baa some catcb
iu it, or puts tbe person in a conspic
uous and amusing light. In all cases
a forfeit should be designed to amuse
tbe company as a whole, and never
to oueud the person called on to pay
it. In order to illustrate our idea ot
a good forfeit, and also to furnish
suggestions to those who enjoy and
take part in such pleasant amuse
meuts, we give a few if the forfeits
that may be imposed. y) Put a
ue -paper upon tne fl -or iu such a
way tba. two persons can stand on
it aud not be able to touch each other
ith tbeir bauds. This forfeit has
tne honor of being old, but it was not
our good fortune to meet it uutil a
abort time ago, and .was forced to
give it up. By putting the paper in
a doorway, one-half inside aud tbe
other outside of tbe room, and clos
ing tbe door over it, the two persons
can easily stand upon it and null be
Iwoud each others reach (2) logo
out of tbe room with two legs, and
come iu wiib six. Not difficult il one
ibiuks to briaj a chair along on tie
return. (3) To act ibe dumb serv
aut. Tbe person who has the forfeit
to pay must act out tbe answers to
tbe questions put by tbe master of
ibe ceremonies; as, now do you make
bread? how do you eat soup: etc.
ibis forfeit will cause much merri
ment it proper questions are put. (4)
Put oue baud wnere the iber cau
uot touch it Oue can get out of this
difficulty by putting one band
m ibe elbow of the other arm.
(5) Place a peucil on tbe fljor so tbat
oue caunot jump over it. May be
done by puttiug it close to tbe wall
ot tbe room. (f) Put a quesiion that
uo oue cau answer with a NO ! This
is not bard if oue tbiuks to ask, what
does Y-E S spell? (7) Push a chair
through a fiuger-riug. Tnis forfeit is
made by pulling the ring oa tbe fin
ger and pusbiug tbe chair any ouer
onj'ct will do as well with the fin
ger. Tnis last much resembles tbe
uext. (S) Put yourself through a
keyhole. This was a great puzzle to
us tor a while, but wbeu apiece ot
paper was takeu with tbe wurd
yourself" writmu upou it, aud push
ed through ibe hole, it was all clear.
riiere are mauy other ot these amus-
iug little tricks, but those giveu will
suggest others, and help to make the
social winter gatherings the enjoyable
liuies tbat tber should be.
