Spr
Christmas at Maplewood.
BY EMMA GARRISON JONES.
ame.
It was mid-winter down at Maple-
wood Farm; the hills white with
snow, and the branches of the giant
elms, that stood guard round the old
farm house, brown and bare. The
afternoon upon which our little story
opens was in Decembor—a clear,
crisp afternoon with a cloudless sky,
and a low, dazzling sun, dropping
down all too soon behind the dark
pine ridge that belted the western
horizon.
Squire Marvin and his boys were
down in the hollow gathering uppine-
faggots; the old roan mare standing
meditatively in the sunshine, while
they heaped the wagon with the rich
resinous wood. At home, in the
kitchen, Mrs. Marvin and Lizzie
were elbow deep in cakes and pump-
kin pies.
‘Bring me that spice in the left-
hand corner of the blue chest, Lizzie,’
Mrs. Marvin was saying; ‘and a few
more of the golden pippins ; we must
get about the mince pies now—father
wouldn’t think it was Christmas it
he had no mince-pies.’
But just as Lizzie was going out
to do her errand, she was stopped in
the doorway by a visitor. Cousin
Simon from Sleepy Hollow, a young
giant standing six feet in his boots,
He had come totown with a sleigh
full of skins and furs, and just
dropped in to say that his father and
mother wanted them all down at
Sleepy Hollow on Christmas-day.
The old man had taken a fancy to
gather all his living relationstogether
on that day, and treat them to the
biggest kind of a dinner.
‘You'll not fail to come over now,’
the young man urged at parting.
‘Father’s set his heart on having you
all together—’twill be the last time
he says: and the old lady’s making
wonderfull preparations, I tell you.
We shall have a gay time ;and John’s
coming home, too I forgot to men-
tion that John’s coming home, Lizzie.
Lizzie overturned the spices she
was pounding, and grew rosy red to
the very roots of her pretty brown
hair ; then bridling and shaking down
that same pretty hair with a conquet-
tish toss of the head.
‘Well, what if he is ?’ she respond-
ed
Cousin Simon winked knowingly as
he pinched her cheek.
‘Nothing at all, little coz,’ he re-
plied, teasingly, ‘only I thought you
might care to know. If you don’t,
however, I think Susie Hastings will.
I must drive by and drop her the
news. Good by.”
lizzie compressed her lips, and
went on pounding her spices. What
did sbe care? Cousin John and she
had been play-fellows, and school-
‘mates, and fast friends in years gone
‘by. John always made a pet out of
her; he brought her the reddest apples,
and the largest nuts; and drew her
on his sled in winter ; and swam the
lake to get her water-lilies in summer
when he was a boy;and in riper
years they attended the same singing
school and sat in the same pew at
Church. Engaged, lookers-on pro-
nounced them; but for all their
intimacy, no love-word had yet
passed between them.
When Jolik left home, to read law
in a distant town, his last visit was
to Maplewood, and he left a plain
gold ring with Lizzie as a keepsake ;
= and through the dreary months of
his absence, she had never once re-
moved it from her finger. Ie was
coming home now! The news had!
made her cheeks bloom with delight;
but down in her hidden heart was a
of it wrankled in her heart like a
thorn. But she made up her mind
to go to Sleepy Hollow with the rest,
. and in the excitement of getting up
appropriate apparal she half forgot
her vexation. Her dress was exqui-
site—an all wool merino of the richest
and warmest crimson, trimmed with
sparkling bugles and dainty lace, and
a comb set with pearls to keep back
her silken treses. When the last
stitch was set, she put them away in
the great oaken chest; and the silly
child would creep up a dozen times a |
day, and raise the heavy lid to feast
her eyes on their beauty.
Christmas-eve came at last. The
great double-horse sleigh was drawn
up before the door, ready to make a
sharp start for Sleepy Hollow en the
morrow. . Just before thelclear, win-
try sunset, Miss Pamelia dropped in.
‘I,ve been running round all the af-
ternoon,’ she said, seating herself in
the best arm-chair, and putting on
ing my neighbors a merry Christmas ;
and couldn’t think of slighting you,
Miss Marvin, thought I shouldn’t
wonder if the tramp don't gie’ me my
death o’ cold. Tic snow’sasslick as
butter, and the wind cuts like a knife.
I’m just from Miss Herkamp’s but
they’re all heels over head a cooking
spared myself the trouble o’going, for
all the comfort I had.
Mrs. Marvin smiled, and said,’ In-
deed !’ and Mis3 Pamelia went on.
‘They never was much, them Herk-
amps ; they're a tight-fisted, stingy
set ; and many be themouthfulthey’ve
eat in our house when my poor favher
was alive. Ah, me! Christmas was
Christmas then. Why, Miss Marvin
if you'll b’lieve me, my father had
more for one night’s handlings round
than some folks have for their whole
Christmas; but I s’pose you’ll have a
grand time down at Sleepy Hollow ?
X ou’re ull going ?’ :
‘Yes, weintend to go—uncle wishes
all his relatives to be there.
‘What for. Is he going to make
his will ?’ By-the-by, Lizzie, John’s
come home—I saw him up at Miss
Hastings’ this morning.
Lazzie was fishing up doughnuts
from a seething cauldron before the
fire ; but; as Miss Pamelia delivered
ladle fall, scattering the brown dough-
nutsover the carpet, and scalding her
hands with the hot lard.
‘Lizzie,} said the mother, gently,
coming fo her relief, ‘let me finish
thess and do you go and bind up your
hand ; and then bring a glass of wine
and a bit of cake for Miss Pamelia.’
She obeyed in silence, and Miss Pa-
melia proceeded to finish her gossip.
‘Yes,’ she continued, meditatively,
‘John was over at Squire 11astings’
this morning, and it’s beginning to
be buzzed about that he’s sparking
Susie. If it’s true, 1 think it’s rale
mean in him after keepin’ company
with Lizzie so leng—I know it makes
her feel bad.
‘Don’t worry yourself, Miss Pame-
lia,” said Mrs. Marvin, smilingly.
‘John will be sure to do right—he and
Lizzie are cousins, and will always be
goed friends. I don’t think Lizzie,s
much troubled about his attentions
to Susie.’
She spokelthe last sentencein rather
a loud tone, that it might reach Liz-
zie’s ear. - She was just returning
with the cake and wine ; but she did
not need her mother’s warning. Her
brown eyes were bright and tearless,
and her lip wore a scornful curl,
which said plainer than words, that
she was utterly indifferent to cousin
John. :
But that night, in her own room,
with her face buried in the pillow,
she gave way to her grief, and wept
and sobbed like a child. ’
,Mother!’,
‘Well, dear ?’
The sleigh was at the door, the |
horses champing at their bits, and
sending out little rills of tinkling
melody, in the early Christmas light.
The boys were already seated, and
Squire Marvin was impatiently
awaiting his wife. |

unre. John had not written one line
te her during his absense—she did | |

Mrs. Marvin turned and looked for |

ly.

she fell to sewing, singing all the
while as blithe as a bird. Never did |
the Maplewood hissl listen to sweet- |
er melody. Of course it was alittle |
dull to spend her Christmasallalone, |
and he cheated out of her visit; but |
she did not care a straw about John
—not she.
But when the day began to wane, |
and the bright, Christmas sun hung
low above the gloomy pine-ridge;
when the shadows gathered in the
old sitting-room, and the crickets be-
gan to chirp beneath the hearth,
Her work was all done; she
and now she could do
nothing but sit before the great log
fire and think. For a few moments
she etruggled against these thoughts,
but they would come. She could see
the great hall at Sleepy Hollow, the
roaring fires, and the long Christmas
table. with ils brown turkeys and
huge plum-puddings; and all her
young cousins, so gay and happy.
Would they miss her? Would any
one call her name? Of course not.
John had Susie Hastings to care for.
He had forgotten the days when he
used to call her his ‘darling.’
The retrospect was too trying, the
brave little heart gave way, and slid-
ing down to thc floor, she buried her
face in thegeushions of the old arm-
chair, 2nd let the tears, that had
been making her poor head ache and
throb all day, flow like April rain.
The yellow Christmas sun dropped
lower and lower; the little brown
birds went twittering home to the
hedges ; it would soon be night—and
then, what a jolly time at Sleepy
Hollow! How gaily Susie would
dance, in her handsome blue silk,
costlier and prettier by far than her
poor little merino lying up in the
great oak chest.
There came a merry burst of sleigh-
bells on the frosty air—But Lizzie
did nct hearken. Soon after a step
upon the porch—Dick’s, of course ;
he was bringing in the morning wood,
but presently a strong arm raised the
drooping little figure, and, sobbing
and startled, Lizzie looked up into a
similing, bearded face, and felt her-
self clasped irresistably tosomebody’s
bosom.
Oh! cousin John!’
‘My darling! My Lttle pet-bird

yourself! Did you think I had for-
gotten you? Did you think 1 could

Lizzie straightened herself, cheeky
and eyes blazing—her heart as proud
as it was tender. 5

FURNITURE MANUFACTORY.
The undersigned, posing purchased the
Engineand Machinery of Wm. Condo, keeps
constantly on hand or makes to order, every
description of
absence and not forget me. I wrote
Susie Hastings because, her father |
being old and infirm, she attends to
his business matters. I was there
yesterday morning, to close a bargain
with him for the snuggest, lovliest
little nest of a cottage in the State.
I should have been at Maplewood to- |
day, but I had pressing matters to |
look after. And now, you precious,
mistrusting, jealous little darling, if
I had time, I'd kiss every brown curl
on your head. There, not a word, !
you are mine ; I wouldn’t hear ‘No,’
if you were tosay it. So hurry, now,
they are waiting for us at Sleepy Hol-
low. Run, and dress as fast as you
can, but nicely, too, dear—for you ,
are to be a bride to.night.’
Lizzie turned back in wide-eyed
wonder.
‘Yes, a bride, darling ; your father
and mother ary willing, and mine are
anxious, and the parson is in readi-
ness—you will not object ?’
Her cbeeks bloomed like blush-
roses ; but she ran up into her room,
~and diving ito the great chest,
brought out the red merino, with its
sparkling bugles and dainty laces,
and the little pearl comb that was to
hold back the tresses from the fair,
sweet face. She was not a fashiona-
‘Mother I’ called Lizzie’s voice, ' ble woman, and John did not have and other necessary Outbuildings. Rauning

| ments she was at his side, tucked

written to Susie Hastings, that was
what stung her, and to the very quick,
too, Miss Pamelia Perkins, this
village gossip, was the bearer of this
delectable information.
‘Well, Lizzie,” she said, one day, |
flouncing in, and taking out her roll
of knitting-work, ‘when did you hear
frecm John 7’ |
‘They had a letter at Sleepy Hollow
last week,’ Lizzie answered, quietly,
‘and he was doing well.’
‘He don’t write to you, then ?’ I
thought you corresponded, in course,
being as you kept company so long.’
Lizzie vouchsafed no answer, She
went on,
‘Susie Hastings had a letter on
Thursday—I was there when it came.
He writes to her regular I believe.’
Lizzie asked no questions relative
to the matter, but the remembrance
then she drew the drooping form to |
her bosom, and kissed her in silence,
turned and left her.
‘Where’s. Lizzie ?’ questioned the
| Squire. ‘Why don’t she hurry ?* |
*She’s not going—there, father, let |
her stay, and ask no more questions |
now,’ replied his wife.
He looked puzzled a moment, then
nodd ng his head from side to side, he
jumped into the sleigh and the horses
pranced off, filling all the Maplewood
vallies with a chime of bells.
Lizzie closed her ears to the sound !
with heoricdetermination ; and fore-
ing back the hot tears that well-nigh
blinded her, she sat herself to work—
employment, just them, being theonly
thing that could save her from break-
ing down into absolute despair,
She
tidied up the kitchen,sweptand dust
ed every room in the house, and then
‘You little silly, you,” whispered
Susie Hastings, as she conducted her
up-stairs.
¢ You wanted to make a
bride of me, did you—you and Miss
Pamelia together? Bridemaid, that’s
my place, little one.’
And that night, in the light of the
| blazing wood fire, in the sight of
"hoary grandsires and blooming cous-
ins, cousin John received his bride—
and Christmas stars never Jooked
down ‘upon a fairer one.
