OUR CHRISTMAS STORY
How Goldsworthy Brothers Spent
their Christmas .Day.
IN TWO CHAPTERS
- , CHAPTER I.
It was 'Christmas Eve. The newly--
glited gas jets flung a ruddy gleam upon
the snow which carpeted the- streets of the
great city. The flakes wore falling still,
but little chance had they to whiten on the
flagstondi; - for the church towers had just
proclaimed that it was flvo o'clock. -and -itn
over-incrensing throng of IVOrliOrn wail pour
ing forth from the_dusty city oftices,.and
hurrying honieward, eager with the antici
pation of their coming holiday. Few seem
ed inclined to loiter; friendly greetings
were exchanged, but the way-farers passed
on without; lingering,to gossip, ono and all
wearing the same expression of cheery haste,
the expression which is, or should be, on
Cho face that is sot toward home. Not quite
all, however. From 'the - foot of a narrow
'staircase, in onoof the darkest_ end, gloom
iest of the city lanes, a man came forth, and
paced, with a listless trend,, towards tho
more open thoroughfare, where a handsome
carrifige was waiting him. Tho whole
equipage denoted wealth and position, and
the appearance of the owner was in strict
accordance with it. Grave, erect, dignified ;
clad in garments perhaps slightly behind
the time as to fashion, but of the finest and
most costly material ; with snow-white neck
cloth anti bhirt front, and od-fashioned up
right collar—Robert Goldsworthy looked
the very incarnation of commercial rosnec: I
tability. - Igor di.Lhis_appearaten_belie-him-;- 11
as the senior and only surviving partner
in the long-established firm of GoTdswortliy
Brothers, his credit was unimpeachable ;
and the - balance at his banker's was. almost
equal to tho whole Capital of many a flour
ishing concern. Of mature ago, but, with
still enough of youthful vigor to hold his
head erect, and to sign his name to a cheque
without ono wavering stroke in the large,
bold signature, which was good for so many
thousands - , surely Robert Goldsworthy was a
man to - bo - envied --- A - nd - yet - d — cl CFS(3* - 0 hSZT;. -
vorTstudying - tho - richmechant's face;-would-
have seen that a dark shadow rested there—
a shadow which did not yield even to the
cheering influence of Christmas associations;
nil - tlie:listless - way - in - whichT-as-ho - seatott
himself in his carriago to-night, ho said to
thO coachman home l' showed that to him
the word brought no joyhil anticipations.
Far different was Lhe * effect of the coming
holiday upon one occupant of the office which
Mr. Goldsworthy had just loft. Mr. Matthew
Kniblis,_the cashier-of the house-of Golds
worthy .13 , rothors, at presont bueily'employed
in locicingup-the books of the .11 , 9 n, by no

with a jovial determination to make it a
right down. merry one, was .reflected in
every feattfro: Even -the books, .the'eriered
books, .harited en tenderly by Mr. Knlbbs
the rest of the year, were slammed and
'bagged about to-night with a recklessness
to which they, were 'wholly Unaccustomed.
Knibbs was fn n huiry to bo hoine, and,ho
didn't care who know it: 'As soon ,as ti)
books were safely deposited in their iron .

__intevspersed with

would be all.times, one would think, suffici
ently tempting, .b'ut to-night they„ s shono
with a glory beyond their own. Sprigs of
holly, with bright-red - berries, lent a con
trast to tho expanse of rich, dark color,
with an effect which must have been.soon to
be believed. Even the tallow-chandler was
groat to-night. Elegant devices formed of
candles, evdlos of wax, candles of tallow,
and candles of paraffin, gorgeously tinted,
and tastefully arranged, formed cones, and
pyramids, and, temples in tho windows,
while wreathe of holly ivy, roses and haw l ,
thorns, hung in festoons from pane to pano.

Hero Knibbs entered, and mada- various
purchases tending towards pudding, but in
small quantities rale° a goodly supply of
tea and sugar. Then stowing his various
parcels away \in hi's - capacious'pockets, .he
hurried on, merrily as ever; till he came to
a street corner, where an old crone, bent
nearly double with ago and infirmity, was
sweeping, or attempting to sweep, a vary
muddy crossing. The ancient dame looked
up, and her dull eye brightened as she rec
ognized Kbibbs, for ho was a steady and
constant patron.' To-night, however he
did not at once produce the accustomed cop
per, and pass on, but stopped to pnrley.
_'Well, Mrs. Brown, bow's-tra&T6:night,-
and how do we get on with the pudding to
morrow ?'
"Thank you kindly, sir,' the old woman
replied, can ' t complain ; I've takena good

'Lot bless 'eo, sir,' the old woman replied,
don't know nothitent 'terials ; but I
reckon if I had a quarters o' flour, and a
trifle o' raisins and sugar, that me and thy
neighbor, Mrs. Duffy, 'ud make out a pud
ding somehow.'
'Well, then, at any rate you shall try.—
•
Hold up your -apron.' r' - •
SO . 'saying, Knibbs disencumb2red himself
of his parcels, on after another, and adding
brght florin, to buy a bit of meat and the
flour for the pudding, hurried on faster than
over, to escape the thank and blessings
which the-old -3vom . an—gratefully:-sholverod
upon him.

the whole transsetion, tapped him on tho
shoulder. 'You go the right way to earn a
merry Christmas, Mat linibbs.'
Knibbs started, seeming as much ashamed
of his good act, as if ho had been detected
in the commission of a petty larceny. Re
covering himself however, he turned to look
at the person who addressed him, but the
familiarity of the greeting seemed to beto
ken that ho was an old acquaintance. Mat

what hidden by a profusion'of grayish beard.'
their expression was frank and open, with
a look of quiet - resolution and self-reliance
that seemed to bespeak one who had faced
the world, and was not afraid of it.
Knibbs face wore a puzzled expression, as
if seine - look or lone or the stranger touched
a chord in his memory, but..so faintly that,
tho dim re;nembianco had—not strength to
ehapo itselfloto actual recollection. Tho
strE4ir rdsumed 'You don't ieraember

-though ho was only a clerk in the office. Ho
was a bit of a favorite with your brother,
and he used to invite him to= his house MOM_
and then ; and perhaps that made the young

it. However, when Mr. Goldsworthy.want

look things have, we might call it - Ultra-
Marine. We had a heavy storm up hereon
Tuesday the 6th inst., which extended with •
groat violence throughout the•region of the
Lakes end Massachusetts, and resulted in
the total loss of the now Copper-fastened
craft My Policy. The storm had every dam- °
aging effect-on ail-the-Craft that wore caught---
out in it. Heavy blowing was obs - ervablo
from all points of the compass several days
before the, storm, and the clouds seemed to be
gathoring'on the horizon. Ontlea morning
of Tuesday the sun lose as bright as usual,
but befor,o noon it was evident up hero that
the bark Ny Policy, -Captain A. Johnson,
would hove to go under. The. pumps wore
worked. vigorously all day long, under the
supervfsion of First MatratandalL The bilge
was attempted to bo kept clear by Hoffman
and the other deck hands ; but, notwithstand-
ing their most vigorous efforts, the waves so
ovorwholoactl tlawra az to continually keep
them under water ; and before 6 o'clock that
night tlai craft went down, carrying nearly '
_the whole of her crow with her. _ There was.
no Wreck-Elretion of any thing like it by
the oldest Inhabitant.
Tho My Policy was 'very badly rigged, and
ranked 1 1, and Was copper fastened through
out. Sho was
.condemned as unseaworthy
by the Govern nien t inspector in the fore part
of last summer, and should have been laid '
up then ; but her Captain insisted upon run
ning her, notwithStrnding her leaking bad—
ly in. every trip she - Macle ; and came near
foundering in her trip to Chieago- and back
,last September. She would have .doneed.
had it not been tor the efforts of Seward and
Grant, the Carpenter and Gunner, who
threw overboaid every'Yhing in order to light
en her and keep her leak above water. She
last spring ran against the old Tug Thad. -
Stevens, and got such a knock right between
wind and writer that it took careful trimming

could be made much of a vessel with all the
repairing ho could put upon her. Although
,a comparatively now vessel, her main tim
bers were rotten and shelhad. desk knee's, con
sequently it was 'impossible for her to carry
the sail the Captain continually insisted ripen -
crowding upon her.
-The My Policy was launched at Washing
ton, D. C., last April, and has had a very
stormy time of it - aver since. At the laying
of the keel, in Meerch, '66, the Secretnly of
the Navy was not invited to be present, the
Chptain not remembering his name. An in- .
eiclont that happened at her launching seem-,_
ed to be a fore-runner of mlifortune to the
craft. As: they were knocking away the
-- scaffolding - around-her; -
killed outright, and several of his co-labor
ers-were-severely wounded..
Tho Captain has made several tripe', but
none of thorn - have proceed profiteers to lime;
besides the accidents 'referred to, when on a
little pleasure excursion with a party of the
Captain's friends on the 22d of February,
she was caught in a Lime, which carried a'-
wny
her figure-hood (a "clue1:1'), also her
fore-stay and mainmast. This eceielent hap
pened liy the party being a little jolly, and a
- Philadelphia pilot by the name of Tom. Flor
ence-being at the wheel, whose experience
in navigating so largo a craft was very Hm-•
itod. They afterward repaired the craft as
well as they Gould, throwing' the " duck " •
overboard; and getting the carpentsr to rig
up a jury mast, the inventioreof a Mrs. Stan
berry, she has sailed over 'since with that
'imperfect rig. Sho was always "down by
the head," as the sailors have it, and steered
very "wide," . paying but little attention to
her helm during a blow. The Captain did
better lying in* Port than. when under way,
Her-model -wee "entirely- original, with - too -- --
much ofthe "rake'-'-about-her and experi
enced nautical men, -who had sailed in the,
Ship of State, always predicted that, what.
over she might do in for weather, she would'
never live in a storm, and the "first Tuesday -
in N. - Wernher" storm was looked for by many
•as - resulting in total wreck of the cpArt, un
