And then Jedd turned his eyo, no the speaker.

And Jedd was about to bid him go his way,

not even the love of his eharmitg coigns could
tempt him to turn on the gas again in his shop;
and to leave it burning until morning was a bit
of extravagant'e not to be thought of. It ootturr

The boy looked wearily around him, and
seemed to think that the temptation wasn't very

" But be might take a lid, though," thought
Jedd
However, there was no alternative but to trust
him. Somehow or other, and God wills it so,

Tomtit glanced over the spa/unapt.
There was only the ghost of a Are in a small
stove; all sorts of grotesque shadows peopled the
room, and the dim blue light, whiok fell like as
imitation of moonrise on the long, narrow houses
of the dead, made them look frightful. A maim
is as ugly looking thing any way one ean fix it,
and twenty ooffins are, of comae, twenty times
uglier.
" Queer place," eoliloquised Tomtit " I

sickly smile. "He thought I'd be afraid. A
man who bee been on a whaling veyage—" here

Nannette went far away from the city, and in a
little town by the sedgy seashore taught her
boy to pray
Year after year went by
The world rolled on like a great wheel ; men,
and women, and children dropped off like flies,
and Jed Pantry's hammer was busy—oh: so busy:
Ncw while shrouds were being made, and coffins
varnished, and the old world was turning no its
axis, Nannette died
The night of her death, just as old Jedd was
fitting the lining to an infant's coffin, a grave
grew up at his feet—a willow and a robe bush,
and be beard the singing of birds : lie knew
what it meant: He knew that somewhere—be
could not tell where—there was another mound
just like the one beside him. Oh : bow blithely
the little birds sang to Jedd There were a new
heaven and a new earth for some body that night
and bow sorrily the robbine sang about it! All
this happened while the snow flakes were running
nimbly over the house tops like little white mice!
Every Christmas eve, at the same hour, Jedd
sees this phantom witted with its sighing willow•
tree, and its lovely flowers, and its fairy birds,
flitting here ihnd there like the fragments of a
broken rainbow ! And at night he has a fearful
dream. He fancies that four Fever fiends are
toning him is his best velvet pall. Yellow Jack,
with his great jaundiced visage, Brain fever,
shoutiag deliriously, Scarlet fever, with red hot
eye. and putrid lips, and Typhoid, still and
.readful—he sees them all ! and they paw him
with their disgusting hands, and kiss him on the
month till poor old Jedd is near going mad with
agony and fear.
Nannette's child was adopted by a fisherman's
wife, and very badly adopted ; for when poor
Tom was not busy catching fish, he was catching
something else. So between boating and beating
the child was not as happy as be might have been
with more of one and less of the other, or a goo•
tile sufficiency of both. Having indulged in four
years' experience in being whaled, he took it
into his head to have a 'mod in the business him
self. "To be, or not to be," was a question in
the boy's mind ; and "not to be," beaten any
more was his decision: so one floe morning, with
out as much as the cognizance of his beloved
mother, Amphitrite, he placed his name on the
hooks of "thy good ship Marie Theresa,"
sailed out of port with a light heart, one suit of
clothes, and a prospect of bard work, which is
all the "rig out" a true sailor needs, Heaven
b!ess him !
Bat Tom was tockdeliostely made for'a whaling
voyage, and after waisting three years of the
golden part of his life, he found himself in our
great city one night, without money, or friends.

to street so charmed with the mad wrangling of
sleigh bells—a new music to him—and so dazzled
by the shop windows, that he forgot his banger
and the web of difficulties which Time and Fate
the busy monsters ! were weaving for him. But
hunger under such circumstances. like a renewed
note, only spares one for a little while it came
beck to him with interest, his hunger, and he
grew disconsolate
The oily, with all its strange newness, was for
gotten in turn. The snow chilled him, and die
harpy ehildeen buying toys in the grand shops,
and the merry sleighs darting through the street
like swallows, gave him an acute sense of loneli
ness. There were no mailer an.l sisters to put
gay presents in his stocking Indeed, if there
had been, they might have bought the stocking
too, for never a one had Tom on those cold little
feet'
Tom looked in Milliard's window at the rare
pastry and confections, and his banger grew mad
dening. He turned from the heaped delicacies,
fearing that he might be tempted to thrust his
hand through the thick plate glass and help him
self. He turned away in gastronomic agony, did
Tomtit, and bearing the children cry "Merry
Christmas!" wondered what it was, and where it

As he cursed oat one of the cross streets which

looking in an undertaker's window, as if be were
weary of life, and a desire to accost him and beg

, e the sleeper. But
the silent, invisible lips of the Chill fiend were
eating into his slumber, and he dreamed of iei•
ales! His little embrowned hand lost its hold
of the stool, and after one or two involuntary
turns, be opened his eyes—to the fact that it was
growing intensely cold.
It was in vain that be drew himself together
like the turtle; the cold touched the outer Girdles
of h's body, and sleep deserted him He spied
the velvet pall on the counter, and in a moment
he had enveloped himself in its dreadful folds.
But the death cloth warned him no more than if
he had been dead. In fact it threw a chill over
him, and he seemed covered with a black frost,
colder than the snowy tracery which grew like
magic over the shop windows! He threw the
pall from him as if it had been a pest, and tried
to warm his hands by the jet of gas which burn
ed azure, and yellow, and all colors But it only
aggravated his coldness.
The idea of freezing to death took bold of Tom
and out of this grew a strange set. His eyes fell
on a coffin which he thought would hold him
comfortably It nearly exhausted his strength
to lay the silk padded box on the floor This
being doge, he settled himself into it without
hesitation. and once more made a eoverlid of the
heavy pall.
Then Tomtit fell asleep again and commenced
dreaming of dreary oceans and lonely isles, and
"fairy lauds forlorn," of cross bones and eyeless
skulls, church yards and epitaphs, and God knows
what! Just then a brasen lipped sentinel in a
neighboring belfry solemnly told out the hoar,
and, unseen, save by God's own eye, high up the
steeple in the snow, and wind, and sleet, a
ghostly finger pointed to the cebilistie figure
X IT
LIFTINO THE PALI
Jedd Pallfry W9A detained at the Spuyten
Dityvers longer than he had anticipated—two
hours longer; and the clock struck twelve as he
whirled round the corner, and brought himself
up against the wind in front of his shop. The
long tails of his threadbare overcoat were tying
all ways, and he looked like a great hideous owl
lot in the night
1% hen Jedd threw open the door, he started
back
There, in the middle of the shop, just where
the spectral grave sprang up yearly, lay a palls
covered coffin, the gas going out, and the boy
gone: The place seemed chilly and damp, like
a vault, and Jedd shivered so, that the snow
flakes flew from him in every direction, like
sparks from a scissor grinder's grind stony - Tbe
stiffness io his knees gave out, and he s4ported
himself against the counter
Now one of those changes came over Jedd Pall
fry which happen to us all at times, and for which
philosophy's self cannot account. With reso
lute and fearless steps be approached the coffin
and lifted the pall. The light, which seemed to
brighten up a little, fell aslant on Tom sleeping.
The strange young face, shaded by tangled curls
of nut brown hair, and lacking the soft influence
of his closed eyes, was almost wild in its beau
The partiog lips seemed ready to speak, but the
snored not; the eye lids twitched, but were not
lifted; and he lay a double picture—Life and
Death!
Jedd started, but not with fear He felt some
thing trembling, throbbing, warming in his bo
som. It was only his heart melting! The fet
ters like reeds, and the love which had lain in a
trance for a dozen years, rose up within him,
and would be heard! His heart knew the little
stranger in the coffin, nod he bent over him with
a tenderness that belongs to a woman.
"Nannette!" be said softly, oh! so wonderful
ly like Nanuette:"
The boy opened his eyes and looked about him
confusedly. He attempted to rise,hut his strength
had succumbed tc cold and hunger; end be sank
back with a ghastly smile.
"I'm so very hungry, Sir!"
"Only speak to me!" cried Jedd, hoarse with
emotion only say if you are Nannette's child!"
"Nannette, Nannette," said the boy dreamily.
"Is some one codling my mother?"
The old man said not a word at this, but knelt
down by the coffin and wept
The clock struck one as Jedd Pallfry passed
through the blinding sleet with something heavy
in his arms—something wrapped in a pall. A
drowsy policeman, ensconced in a doorway out
of the storm, hailed him, and the drifted snow
was more than knee deep—but Jedd, heeding
neither, struggled on with his burden.
Then a brilliant coal fire threw a lurid and
pleasant glow over Jedd's sitting room. The
elderly house keeper--completely dressed, with
the exception of a nightcap which she had for-
gotten to remove—hurried to and fro in "a state
of mind," collecting more jugs of hot water than
would be required to warm the feet of all her
Majesty's subjects in the Crimes. Close by the
grate, in a Daniel Lambert of an easy chair, sat
the unconscious Tom, with Jedd soothing one of
his hands and gazing anxiously in his face So
an hour went by, and then the child's eyes un.
closed; and Jedd Pallfry took him in his arms,
and the old man's whole heart was a:prayer—a
prayer to him who "tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb!"
When I bare said that terrible dreams and
strange visions never haunted Jedd Pallfry
after that night, I have said all Ro in my story
done.
The snow has ceased falling, and through my
window I can see the crisp stars twinkle like hits
of ehrysolite. The city bells are ringing a re.
quiem for the dying midnight of the dying year.
Silver voices from dizzy turret are calling to each
other mournfully, dolefully. A chill and a fore
