Story for Ihe Holidays.
Y T. S. AIM III It.
'Didn't lie make you a present of any
thing-, Lizzy V asked Margaret Granger of
her cousin Lizzy Green.
No, not even of a strawberry cushion,'
Pioke up Lizzy's sister Jane, 'that he
might have bought for a sixpence. I think
he's a right down mean, selfish, stingy fel
low, so I did ; and if he doesn't keep Liz
zy on bread and water when he gets her
my name's nut Jane Green.'
'I wouldn't havp him,' said Margaret,
jesting, yet hnlf in earnest. 'Lot Christ
mas g i by and not make his sweetheart or
sister a present of the most trilling value !
He must have a penny soul. Why, Mar
ry Lee sent me iho 'Leaflets of Memory'
and a pair of the sweetest flower-vases
you ever saw, and he only comes to see
me as a friend. And Cousin William
made me a present of a splendid copy ol
'Mrs. Hall's sketches,' the most interes
ting book I ever read. Besides, I received
lots of things. Why, my table is full of
presents.
'You have born quite fortunate," said
Lizzy, in a quiet voice; 'much more so
than Jane and I, if to receive a great many
Christmas presents is to be considered
fortunate.'
'But don't you think Edward might have
sent you some token of good-will and af-
lection in this holiday season, when every
one is giving or receiving presents V ask
ed Margaret.
'.Nothing of that kind was needed, Con-
sin Magga.as an expression of his feelings
towards me,' replied Lizza. 'He knew
that I understood their true quality, and
felt that any present would have been a
useless formality.'
'You can't say the same in regard to
Jane, lie inieht have passed her the usual
coinplinit nl of the schmiii.'
Certainly be might,' said Jane. 'Liz
zy needn't try to excuse him after this lame
l.ishion. Of course, there is no cause for
the omission but meanness thai' a my
opinion, and I speak it out bidd y.'
'It i-n't right to say that, sister,' remark
ed Lizzy, 'lid ward has other reasons for
omitting the prevalent custom at this sea
son and good reasons, 1 am well assured.
As to the charge of meanness, I doni'i
think the fact you allege a sufficient ground
for making; it.'
'Well, I do then,' said Cousin Marga
ret. 'Why, if I were a young man and
engaged in to -Triage to a lady, I'd sell my
slines but what I'd give her something as a
Christmas present.'
Yis or borrow or beg the money,'
chimed in Jane.
'Kverv one must do as he or she thinks
best,' replied Lizza. 'As for me, 1 am
content to receivp no holiday gift, being
well satisfied that meanness on the part of
L'dward has nolhn g to do with it.'
Rut notwithstanding Lizzy said this,
she could not help feeling a little disap
pointed morp, perhaps, on account of the
appearance of the thing than Ironi any
suspicion that meanness, as alleged by Jane,
had anything to do w ith the omission.
'1 wish Ldward had made Lizzy some
kind of a present,' said Mrs. Creen to her
husband a day or two after the holiday had
passed ; 'il it had been only fir the looks
ol'the thing. Jane has been teasing her a
bout it ever since, and calls it iioiliing but
meanness in Kdwnrd. And I'm afraid he
is a Utile close.'
Retler that he should bo so than too frer,"
replied Mr. Green ; 'ihough 1 must confess
that a dollar or two, or even ten iloiiats, ;
sneiit at Christmas in a present fur his in-1
ended bride, could hardly have been set i
down to the score ol
prodiganlv. It does
look mean, certainly.
He iu doing very wi II.'
'He t"Ms a salary of i ight hundred dol
lars, and I suppose it doesn'ieost him over
f.ur or five hundred dollars to live at
lea! it ought not to do so.'
'He has bought himself a snu
illle '
i
bouse, I am told.
If he's done, that, he's done verv wr'i!.'
said Mr. (irffii; 'and I rail bogice liini
, for not spending hi" ninnc, m ( hnstinvi
presents, that are never of much use, say
the best you will of them. I'd rather Ed
ward woti'd have a comfortable house to
put his wife in than see him loading Iter
down, before marriage, with presents of
one foolish thing or another.'
'True. Rut it would'nt have hurt him
to have given the girl something, if it only
had been a book, a purse, or some such
trifle.'
For which trifles he would have been
as strongly charged with meanness as he
... ... , , .
is now. isctter let it go as it is. lo uouut
he has good reasons for his conduct.'
Thus Mr. Green and Lizzy defended
Edward, while the mother and Jane scol
ded about his meanness to their heart's con
tent. Edward Mayfield, the lover of Lizzy
Creen, was a young man of good principles,
prudent habits and really generous feel
ings ; but his generosity did not consist in
wasting bis earnings in order that he might
be thought liberal and open-hearted, but in
doing real acts of kindness where he saw
that kindness was needed, lie had saved
from his salary, in the course of four or
five years, enough to buy himself a very
snug house, rind hail a few' hundred dollars
in the Savings' Rank with w hich to furnish
it when the lime came for him to get mar
ried. This time was not very far off when
the Christmas, to which allusion has been
made, came round. At this holiday sea
son , Ed ward had intended to make both
Lizzy and her sister a handsome present,
and he had been thinking for some weeks
is to what it should be. Many articles,
both useful and merely ornamental, were
thought of, but none of them exactly
pleased his fancy-
A day or two before Christmas, he sat
thinking about the mutter, when something
or other gave a new turn to his reflec
tions. 'I hey don't leally need anything, said
he to himself, and yet I propose to myself
to spend twenty dollars in prescnis merely
for appearance's sake. Is this right ?
Ivight if you choose to do it, he replied
to himself.
I am not so sure of that, he added, after
a pause. Ami then he sat in quite a mu
sing mood for s-'iue minutes.
That's belter, he at length said, rising
up and walking about the floor. That
would he money and good feelings spent
to a better purpose.
Rut they'll ixpecl something, lie argued
with hiniM il'; the familv will think so
strange of it. I'erbaps I'd better spend
half the amount inelegant books f r Lizzv
moiI J.me. and let the other tro ill the wav I I
- - . - i
propose.
This suggestion, however, did not satis
fy him.
Retter let i; all go in the other direction,
he said, after thinking awhile longer ; it
will tb a real good. The time will come
when I can explain the whole matter ii'
necessary, and do away with any little
false impression that may have been formed
To the conclusion at which Edward ar- therelrom. I hen ho turned away am! lei!
rived, he remained firm. No present of , the office without uttering a word,
any kind was made to his bethrotln d or j 'John is very late to night,' said the poor

You ni'dn't eomr to-morrow, John,1'
aid the pnntci, n- lie handed ih vi iV
two dollars that were due him for the week's
work : to-morrow is Christinas.
The boy took the money, and after lin
gering a moment, turned away and walked
towards the door. He evidently expected
something, and seemed disappointed. The
printer noticed this, and at onco compre
hended its meaning.
John, he said kindly.
The boy stopped and turned round : as
he did so, the printer took tip a half dollar
from the desk, and bidding it between his
lingers, said
You've been a very good boy, John, and
I think you deserve a Christmas gift.
Here's half a dollar for you.
John's countenance was lit up in an in
stant. As he came back to get the money
the printer's eyes rested upon his feet,
which were not covered with a very com
fortable pair of shoes, and he said
Which would you rather have, John,!
this half dollar or a pair of new shoes ?
I'd rather have the new shoes, replied
John, without hesitation.
Very well ; I'll write you an order on
a shoemaker, and you can go and fit your
self, and the printer turned to his desk and
wrote, the order.
As he handed to John the piece of pa
per on which the order was written, the
lad looked earnestly into his face, and then
said, with strongly-marked hesitation
I think, sir, that my shoes will do very
well if mended ; they only want mending.
Won't you please write shoes lor my
mother instead of me ?
'I he boys voice trembled, and his face
wassuffused. lie felt that he had ventur
ed too much. The printer looked at him
for a moment or two, and then said
iJocs your mother want shoes badly ?
Oh, yes, sir. She doesif team much by
washing and ironing when she can do it,
but she jiprained her wrist three weeks
ago, and hiis'nt been able to do anything
but work a little about the house since.
A re uur w ages all she has to live upon ?
They are now.
You have a little sister, I believe ?
Yes, sir.
Does she want shoes, also ?
She has had nothing but old rags on her
feet for a month.'
Indeed!
The prinler turned to his desk, and sat
and mused for half a minute, while John
stood with his heart beating so loud that
he could hear its pulsations.
Give mo that order, the man at length
said to the boy, who banded him the slip of
Pal" r
He tore it up, and then took his
. ,
pen and wrote a new outer
'l ake this, he said, presenting it to John,
I have told the shoemaker to give you a
pair for your mother, yourself am! your lit
tle sister; and here is ihe half dollar, mv
, boy, vou must have that a'so.
John took the order and the money, and

him to be on!, and so lliinlv rl.n

don't liit the man says he will change them;
and I'll go clear back to the store to night
but w hat she shall have her new shoes for
Christmas. Won't she be glad ! I wish
she were awake.'
And the tea, sugar and rice, you bought
with the half dollar he gave you ?' said the
mother.
Yes,' replid John : 'I bought the tea
and the sugar for you. They're your
Christmas gift from me. And the rice
we'll all have to-morrow. Won't you
make us a rice-pudding for our dinner?'
' ou're a good boy, John a very good
boy,' said the mother, much affected by
the generous spirit her son displayed.
'Yes, you shall have a rice-pudding.
Rut take off your wet shoes, my son they
are all wet and dry your feet by the (ire.'
'No, not till you put Netty's shoes on to
sec if they fit her,' replied John. 'If thev
don't lit, I'm going back to the store for a
pair that will. Hie shall have her new
shoes for Christmas. And, mother, try
yours on may be they won't do.'
To satisfy the earnest boy, Mrs. Elliot
tried on Netty's shoe, although the child
was sleeping.
Just the thing, she said
'Now try on yours,' urged John.
They couldn't fit me better, said the
mother, as she slipped on one of the shoes.
'Now take off your wet ones, and dry your
feel before the fire, while I put the supper
on the table.'
John, satisfied now that all was ri'dit,
did as his- mother wished, while she got
ready their frugal repast. Roth were too
much excited to have very keen appetites.
As they were about rising from the table,
al'iiT finishing llieir meal, some one knock
ed at the door. John opened it, and a gen
tleman came in and said, familiarly
IIow do vou do, Mrs, Elliot ?
Ohhow do you do, Mr. Mayfield ?
Take a seat ; and she handed her visitor a
chair.
IIow has ycur wrist got, Mrs Elliot!
Are yon most ready to take my washing
again ?
It's better I thank you, but not well en
ough fur that ; and I can't tell when it will
be. A sprain is so long in gelling well,
How do you get along? asked Mr.
Mayfield. Can you do any kind of work?
Nothing more than a little about the
house,
Then you dotet earn anything at a:l
No sir nothing.
IIow do you manage to live, Mrs
We have to get rdong the best we ran
on John's two dollars a week.
Two dollars a week ! Yuu can't lien on
two dollars a week, Mrs. Elliot; that is
impossible.
It's all we have, said the widow.
Mr. Mayfield asked a good manv more
questions, and showed a very kind interest
in the poor widow's a Hairs. When he
arose to go awav, he said
I will send you a few things to-nieht.
Mrs. Elliot, as a Christmas present. This
is the season when friends remember each
other, and tokens of good will are passing
in all directions. I think I cannot do bel
