TAE DYING YEAR
BY S. B. WCORMICK
What solemn thoughts now cluster round the soul,'
As wo behold the checkered landscape fading,
.And Winter's King assuming that control'
That Summer's Queen onto swayed with emlloe per
vading
Tho living mourn while mingling with the dying.
Like thennburieflpn some battle field, •
The- withered flowers liojeafless, pale andbleaching
Their fragrance wasted, which warm suns did yield,
To gentle zephyrs and to dews beseeching, a
On earth's cold bler,lics nature's beauty sleeping,
And o'er each faded form cold rains are weeping•
Wild night-winds round the cheerless, ice clad eaves;
• And through dcmidcrl forest branches waving,
Sing funeral dirges, Which the rustling leaves -
Ile echo to the eddying storm assailing.
And from o'crsprcading clouds, -bread snow flakes
flying.
In mud procession, follow np tho dying:
The orehnrd, where but one brief msatthitg,o
. The mellow Pr I in golden BUM wernsbining
Stand leafless, tr Wing in therein and snow, ',-
Robbed of its treasures, and In want repining ;
And frightened birds, on weary philons leaving
Flit through the grim, denuded branches grieving.
From mitrmuring fitreoms there eomew the muffled
ECM
Of wares complaining to tho glassy edges,
And icicles, that dangle nil around,
Chant winter dirges, its they cling to hedges,
And sombre clouds to chilling winds repining,
Collect in groups to be ‘p the stars from shining..
Where'er the eyes in wen sglunces turn, --
--- Around, abovo, beneath, in geld or meadow,
Tho dreary scenes but cause tho heart to yearn,
And spread a gloom, as twilight spr . eads a shadow
And shade and gloom upon the heart encroaching,
Are but tho symbols of a dentin approaching.

OUR CHRISTMAS STORY
How Goldsworthy Brothers Spent
their Christmas Day.
(CONCLUDED:)
CHAPTER II
• Christmas Day ! and the great heart of
humanity beats with a quickened pulse,
sending glad throbs through the veins of
young and old. In thousands of homesteads
in town and country, - throughout our Eng= -
lish land, joyous greetings arc, exchanged,
and cordial Merry Christmas' and hearty
handshake passed around. Bright and
happy, with rosy faces and laughing eyes,
groups of children, with father and mother
at their head, troop_out into the streets and
lanes, and tramp cheerily through the crisp,
white snow to their accustomed church.
The ancient pow-openers, in their clean
whitacaps end gotvits_guiltless_of_crincline r
wear a radiance intheir wrinkled faces that
even the prospect of liberal Christmas boxes
will hardly account; for thu organ,
blending with the frooli younLi vet es of the
schoolchildren, seems to , have/ a sweeter,
mellower tone than usual as' it(peale forth
the well-remembeied old Chrigtmas hymn
tunes. And the good parson, prosy some
times, is quite eloquent, in a homely way,
to-day; for he is preaching on the glad
tbeine of Peace on earth, good will to men,'
and hi; 'heart goes with his words, as he
tells of the babe that Was borne at Bethele
hem, and God and sinners reconciled.' And
when• the a ermon-is-endedrand- the—parting.
hymn is sung, dear I it is quite a pleasant
sound to hear the chink of the falling money
as it rattles into the silver plates or oaken
.oxesthe_maney_w_hic'hiato_holp_the.pecm.
over their.ehristrnas timo, and give them a
taste of the good' cheer their happier broth
ers enjoy in such profusion. Who will
grudge his mite to-day ? Even the hardest,
closest-fisted; - feels. a — warm — spark: glowing
in some out-of-the-way corner of his heart,
which prompts hini 'almost against his will
to works of kindliness and charity; and the
most careful housekeeper, thriftily looking
twice at the pennies for all the rest' of-the
year, will quietly put a bright half-sovereign
in the plate to-day, and perhaps find a sil
ver sixpence IP little Johnny to give, in the
bargain. And,' coming out of church, what
cheery, neighbourly greetings are exchanged!
Jolly old. papas and grancipapas slap each
othe7 on the back, and mutunlly — fidiiiire'
each other's children and grandchildren,
and ask how Bob is getting on at school, and
pretend to bo tremendously astonished. at

very long one, and that, there would bo
plenty of sago and onions. Knibbs himself
hadother - niatters to think - of ; but ;the na
ture of his reflections was such 'that his
round, red face ldoked as jovial and happy
as that of the jolliest of the infant epicures.
_The:two things thathr. the nonVo anest.on-.
grossed his attention wZwo the anticipated
happiness . ?•for Nally, and the difficult
achievement of keeping in step with his fair
companions. The truth is, our fribnd Knibbs
was considerably the shortest of the three;
he was accustomed, as we have seen, to speak
of Mrs. Knibbs as his 'little woman ;! but
the epithet was probably merely a "term of
endearment, having no twine' relation to
sizo.• Being, as wo have said, short of
stature, Knibbs was never happier than
when he could induce a lady to talce his arm;
two ladies, of course, being the ultimatum
of bliss". Why it should have been eo is
hard to conjecture, for as, on the 'present
occasion, Knibbs generally had to walk on
_tiptoo_to_raiso,himself—to—the—levol—oF-his
position. However, Mrs: K. has been heard
to remark fondly on several occasions, Knibbs
was such a men P -And no doubt he was.
After the lapse of about a 'week, as it
seemed to the junior Knibbses, church was
over, and the happy family hurried back to
their dwelling, when a glorious odour of
goose reigned paramount from floor to coil
ing. And, almost before hats and bonnets
were fairly off, in came Walter Arden; and
then, two minutes later, 'Knibbs' old friend,
John Brown, who had - travelled all round
the world, and to several other places, and
has just come back on purpose to spend
Christmas Day with them. And what a re
markable man that John Brown was, to bo
sure! The first thing he did when he came
in was to kisi Mx's: Kinbbs ! Not one of
your mild little pecks, such as boarding
school young ladies give one another when
thy r. r at .. , but , real, right down hug, with
three or four hearty smacks ; and that mean
spirited ffnibbs never offered to punch his
head, or even told him he'd better not do it
again, but looked on asiLhe rather enjoyed
it than not, and shook hands vv,ith him af
terwards with the greatest apparent cordial
ity. And then John Brown shook hands
with Walter Arden, and called him i'rdy
boy,' as if ho had known him for years ; and
then ho lifted the children all up ono by one,
as high as his head, and kissed thmn - foor
And, last of all, ho came to a quiet, gentle
girl, with earnest, loving eyes (with a_spice
of fun in them, notwithstanding), and a pio
fusion of soft 'brown hair, who was standing
all alone by the side of the fire ; and here he
was less bold, but held out his brown hand,
and almost timidly took the wee white One
which was laid in his, and - gazed at it ten

workmanship, not to be roughly handled,

away. ALlid then they dined, dined rnvnl o
as those who beast on roast goose and plum
pudding should do; not forgetting to put
aside a splendid slice of each for poor lame
Biddy, the rheumatic old apple-woman round
the corner ;`had the boys tossed up ti's to who
should have the pleasure of taking it to her-;
and finally, the losers, not to be beaten, made
a rush for their caps and comforters, and
went too.
And after dinner Knibbs produced a bottle
of wonderful old port, a boveiage only to be

faze glow with pride, by remarking that

tle I' And there was snap-dragon for the
children, and they all burnt their 'filitorep
and set themselves on fire, and had to be put
out; and enjoyed themselves immensely :
rind John Bro Vin; in defiance of Mrs.
Knibbs's protestations, nursed four of them
()rill's - lap at once, with anotheiclimbing up
the back of his chair. And he sang comic,
songs, and cut out pigs in orange peel,,,,,and
manufactured remarkable candles made of
apples, and lighted them, and ate- them, up
alight without the., slightest inconvUnience ;
;vith.other magical wondorstoctimmereds to
mention ; and imitated the cry of the tooral
looral on the American prairie, (very like I)
and the sound of a pair of boots tumbling .
down the chimney, with variations of Well
ingtons and lltieliers ; and taught the child
ren_ to say 'Merry Christmas to you' in Span
ish and'other Unknown tongues; and wasn't
a bit angry when Master Peter Knibbs dur
reptitiously- introduced a sooivball into his
pocket, find saved the aforesaid-Peter-Knibbs
from the imminent danger of being sent to .
bed immodititely in conseqence ; and, in
shortecuulucted himself in the most remark
able, unheard of, but delightful manner. _
The only member of the company who
did not view the state of

John Goldsworthy_gave'no sign: And tea
had been drunk' ut of Mrs. Knibbs' boat old
china tea-things, and the piano was opened,
and Mrs. Knibbs tried a little.s'ong about a
violet girl,-lyht broke down f and-irieditgain,
and broke down a second time, and every
body lnuglied (except Walter Arden); and
Mrs. Knibbs herself as merrily as'_anybody.
And Mr. Knibbs was all' but persuaded into
attempting an-exhilarating ballad Concern
ing the burial of Sir John Somebody, but
thOught better of it, and didn't. And then
.Nally eat down to the piano and played two
or three lively'melodies.viith much 'grace
and execution. And afterwards, at the re
quest of Mr. Brown, Nally shyly consented
to sing a song, and after a few faint chords,
began with a sweet, tremulous voice, the
• Light of other days,'
The firstmotes of his daughters voice car
ried John 'Goldsworthy far back into the
-past — •
.y was very like her mother; and
many a chance look or tone during the 'af
terhoon had touched a cliord that had been
silent' for many weary years, and sent a
thrill of painful pleasure to her father's
heart. Now, however, the familiar notes of
Nolly'irsong, Itio song which had been the
favorite Melody of her dead mother, and
sung in tones of liquid sweetness almost the
counterpart of hers; brought back a Wry
flood of tender recollections ; and the strong
man bowed his head to the torrent, and
shielded his face with iris hand, while 121 g .,

had lingered upon his hard palm for years

And tlain a sadder • memory, a memory of

After the first glad shoelc of pleasure and

Walter, who had%egun to fedi rather un

Nelly's father, who - , offering his hand. with
a franlc smile, put him quite at his lease.
Then, seated in an easy chair by the fireside,
with brolly one hifssook" - iTt — liiii - het,. her
hand clasped lovingly in his, JOhn
worthy commenced the story : os_his
detlngsand..adventureS'. WLiftor having run
briefly through. the events of his' life during
his long absence,'he alluded to hie casual
meeting with Knibbs, and his

visit'to his brother. As ho approached thiA

and chearful during theformer part, of his
recital, subsided into.. atm. n nana. •

Ndlly with a cold distinctness in his voico
which grated unpleasantly upon the ear,
'yTu have a choice to make; a choice be

tered n little), 'for myself, I should wish
you, if you can, to put me wholly out of the

long an absence, I cannot expect, and have
no right to expect, that I should find in my

Nelly turned to Walter, but with little

prayer. First, led by Nellys fresh clear
voice, they sang the joyful Christmas hymn ;
and then old Matthew, with homely elo
quence, read a chapter from the sacred book..
Thu passage he selected was that in which
the — fiery Peter asks how often an erring
brother should be forgiven, and the meek
Master makes the memorable answer, I say
not unto thee, Until seven.times, butuntilsov- 7
enty times seven.' An. angry feeling-of in
dignation and offended pride arose in John
Goldsworthy's breast, as be realised the ap
plication of theiessmi to himself, but soon,
as he perceived how humbly and timidly the
old an read, a better feeling prevailed.
'After the reading came a homely but—earn
est prayer, and then The Prayer—the prayer
that has been prayed by Christian lips for
eighteen huodred,yeeys. There was a trem
ble in the old man's voice, a tone of more
than - 'ordinarily, earnest pleading, as he camti.
to the familiar words, 'Forgive us our tres
passes, ns wo forgive them that trespass
against us,' and when the prayer was end
ed, and all the others had risen, John Golds--
worthy remained npon -- his knees, his face
bitried in his hands. And when he rose,
he held out his - hand to Matthew _Knibbs.
'Old friend, with God's help; you have con
quered me. And you, my darling, if it will
really make you happy, that I should make
'friends-with your uncle, I have made up my
mind that I will make friends with.
,Nelly's sweet face brightened into sun
shine and she clapped her hands with de
light. 'I feel such deep arid perfect happi
ness myself, that I seem as if I "dare not en
joy it, knowing my brOther to be sufferings°
deeply. --And now that I made up my
mind; I will not rest until the thing is done..
So, my darling, if it is not to late for you,

The tall fOotman's astonishment at seeing
his young mistress arrive at such an hour,
1 and in the coeapany of the individual who
had made so - unceremonius a visit on the
previous night, was unbounded.' Ho had lit

Robert Goldsworthy was seated in an

the door. Ohoice frui4p and, sparkling
ecanters'were on - thciable, nut untouched
as when they were first placed there after
his solitary dinner. He was changed, even
since the previous night. The worn, nervous,
restless look had deepened into one of utter
dejection-mid despairveribisveryrertitude,

.I wish that I might have room to tell the
story of the week they passed, but my man
uscript warns me that I must condense.—

taken with them, some fifteen in number,
and Mtss Walker returned. James Walker
and Grady continued their search,emptying

loose treasure was placed in extra bags and
the whole driven to a Broadway Jeweler's.

Grady, but up to the time - of writing noth

that he has perished.
The result of the week's search-is roughly
estimated at one million and a half dollars.

was reduced - about ono half. A little over
