A STORY FOR THE 407.4 D AY&
It was"' ij„chris` Ones eve. - The night was
extremely Cold, and the wind wasi driving
the snow furiously, and eating its wel
some to Christmas through thl branches
of the:trees. There were but fen of either
sex who ventured upon the streets that
dreary evening. But above the- noise of
the wind could ,ho heard .the jitaile of
bolls, telling us, 'though dark and;dreary
the night, old Santa Claui wee n'ot neg.

=I
Trudging along one or the , principal
streets in L—, this cold winter evening,
might have been seen on old,.pnaari,
whose dark and withered face, eked
shoulders, and dirty . .'and tore garments
bespoke her 'a Gipsy. And she walked on
till she came to a large brick residence.
where a bright light shone from behind
the closed shutters. She draw•her weary
bones - up the stone steps- with Wulf qua
culty, and- rang the door -bell. - The door
soon opened and a voice' in the-hall In
quired her wants.
" Would you be ea kind," said the
Gipsy in a squeaking urn* "a* to givelm
ild woman sotnething, to eat for her.staev
ing children V' ' :
" I will see," replied the tem-rani, And
she disappeared.at the end of the hall,
"Give an old woman something to eat !
Why, certainly !" exclaiineci the
„sweet
voiee of a young ',tidy, at she entered the
hill accompanied by the serv ant. :"Efare,
old lady. giroine your basket.—But cothe

see how you teenaged to reafls heOli"!
The old woman banded the ki ii: didy
her basket, and followed • her inti, the
room, where blazed a cheerful fire,
" Yea, young lady, "it is very cold; the
said after taking a seat near the firei,; "but
poor peophs must get used 'to such rath
er. You hare here a good house and a
warm fire, and you needn't care how eold
it is." • -
" Yes, yes, i know," field the lady
Thoughtfully, "we are. blessed in many
ways. I only rrish everybody was so well
off."
Then the servant retarned with the
basket well filled with provisions, and the
Gipsy took it as if about to leaie. '

young lady.."l have beenlonely to-night
and-there is. Lo one .else likely to come
through this storm. You can tell for
ttliteS, and if you will tell mine, I will!pay
whatever you may ask."
"I can tell fortunes," retitled the Gipsy.
" but I mill ask no : money of you. I will
tell yours because you have bean - so kind
to tee."
She extended tier' b6iy hatici, and the
young lady rested here . Then
there was a moment of silence, while the
Gipsy looked fixedly axon' the little white
hand before her. , ' •• , ;
" You haio thought much of a certain,
young man of litte, ahe ani&" "You love
him, but you are
,too prentil to ' confess ii.
He loves you witli-kll his hurt, and would
make you hitt 4 witic but thinks himself un
worthy of you. andlure your reftisal.",
"That is all verk4ell," said the maiden'
eomposedly, seeing the Gipsy hesitate.
"Now, if you tell me the gentleman's
name I will believe your strange power."
The Gipsy hunk her 640 over the ( A ir 1

When the happy Christmas morn
rived, and the blessed sun beams skile,
from behind a lingering snow cloud, the :
Wind had subsided, and already the raerr.yi
jingle of sleigh bells stole upon the haliryii
air. ' -
In the afternoon of that day we see .lAr

It is_ true. Kiss Whittier night hare

listened to that monitor, and regarded it
as the ruler of her, destiny'. ,
So, when the half hour was up;Mr.

are briefly summed ; up by Lord Mahon
(vol. vi., p. : ' -
"Not, indeed, that he could be blind to
themanirold grounds of provocation which
Massachusetts had afford ed . But he telt
that provocation could no longer be

as Burke at the fame period truly and
finely said,. that •ho did not know the

it.whole.people." -
Aooordiagly, he introduced a bill of the
-
first of' F4ruary, 1775, making the most
ample confessions, introducing' it with
what Franklin describes as '.a most ex
**Bent speech." But the bill, of which
the concluding words were, "So shell true
reconcilement avert impending calami
ties." It was opposed by the Ministry.
and was najested, beosuse, said Chatham:
"Who 'can wonder that you should put
a negative on any measure which must
annihilate your power, deprive you, of
your emoluments, and at once-reduce-you
to that state 'of insigni,licance for which
God and nature designed you !" •
Had it - been adopted, no 'historian

averted, as it would have been else; had
