I am nOt so sure of that," he added, after
a pause. And _then he sat, in quite a musing
mood for some minutes.
" That's better," he at length said, rising
up and walking about the Boor. " That would
be money and end feelings spent to a better
purpose.'
" But they'll expect something," be.argued
with himself; " the family will think so strange
of it. Perhaps I'd better spend half the amount
in elegant books for Lissy and, Jane, and let'
the other go in the way I propose."
This suggestion, however, did not satisfy
him.
" Better let it all go in the other direction,"
he said, after thinking awhile longer; "it will
do a real Food. The tinie will come when I
can explain the whole matter if necessary, and
do away with any little falie impression that
may have been formed."
To the conclusion at which Edward arrived,
he remained firm. No present of any kind was
made to his betrothed or her sister. and the
reader has seen in what light the omission was
viewed
Christmas eve proved to be one.of nnusutil
inclemency. The snow had Wen falling all
day, driven into every nook and corner, cleft
and cranny, by a piercing northeuter; aad
now, although the wind had ceased to roar
among the chimneys and to whirl the anew
with blinding violence into the face of any one
who ventured, abroad, the broad flakes were
falling slOwly . but more. heavily than face
morning,lhough the ground was covered al
ready to the depth of many inches. It was a
night to make the poor feel sober as they gath
ered more closely around their small fires, and
thought of the filvr_sticks of wood or pecks of
coal that yet remained of their limited store.
Oa this dreary night, a small boy, who bad
been at work in a printing office all day, stood
near the desk of his employer, waiting to re
nice his week's wages and go home to his
mother, a poor 'widow, whose siendCr income
scarcely sufficed to give food to het little house
hold.
"You needn% come to-morrow, John," said
the printer; as ))e handed the lad the two dol- ,
lars that *ere due him for the weeks work :
"to-morrow is bhristmas." -
The boy took the money, and after lingering ,
a moment, fur* away and walked towards
the door. .11c evidentlyt expected somethine,
and seemed disappointed. The printer noticed
this, and at once comprehended its meaning.
" John," he said kindly.
The boy stopped and _ turned round : as be
did so, the printer took up a - half dollar from
the desk,-,and holding it 'between Malingers,/
" You've been a very good boy,.John, and I
think you deserve - a Christmas gift. Heres
half a dollar for you." •
John's countenance was lit up in an instant.
As be came back to' get the money, the
ter'S eyes rested upon his feet, which were riot
covered with a' very comfortable pair of slides,
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 your4elf,"
and theprinter turned to his desk and Wrote
the orde .
Ai he handed to-John the piece of paperon
Which the order was written, the lad looked
earnestly into his face, and then said,] with
strottelrt.marked hesitation—
" itiink, sir, that my shoes will . do 'eery
well if mended; they only want mending.—
Won't you please write shoes for my mother
instead of me?"
The boy's voice trembled, and his face was
suffused, He felt that be bad ventured too
much. The printer looked at him fora atoment
or two, and then said—
" Does your mother want shoes badly?"
" Oh, yes, air. She doesn't earn much by
washing and ironing when 'she can do it, but
she sprained her wrist three weeks ago, and
hasn't been able to do anything but work a lit,-
tle about the house since. "
" Are your wages all she has to live. on ?"
" They are now."
" Yon haves little sister, -I believe?"' ,
"Yes, sir." "
"Does she want shoes, also ?"
"She has had nothing but old rags do her
feet for a month."
"Indeed!"
