[From the Ibdtin-ore .Episcopal MethorUst.] ? BK?jHEE HENRTS Christmas Story. 1 ..?{?.rr-:o:-r?' .... (Coticluded.) ' In 'truth; the gentle, earnest German _girl^ with hor fair faoo nnd hopeful ways thut "were, so like sister Lillie's," had made more than passing impression upon the young traveller's heart, nnd even now die had strong hopes of | some time Winning her to brighten bis homo across the ocean. Of this, however; the boys know nothing ; it was only Bister Lillic who had diviucd it all, as she nlwa; g did with her quick sympathy, and bud already prepared a place in her heart for; that-.other:eldest sister from her quiet Gcrmnu homo. "I wish you could have seen," resumed.Hen ry, "the eager, curious cirulo, wheu wc.cutcred the parlor; the good father had just been pre paring for the coremouy of lighting up the Cbri-tmas tree in another room when 1 hud caused the interruption, nnd now tiicy must all wait until the mother nnd. sister Nettie could be sptrcd from thok labor of Jove with their little ?runderer The children weroifullof curiosity about.tho little 'snow-maiden" who hud laid at (heir door on Christmas eve, so like tho little Grotchei) tu,| nans, Anderson's beautiful talc, which the German children almost known by heart. J^r hnps they did not expresstheir excitcnicu'., quite as noisily ns their American ooiudns would have dono, bat their little limnd chocks glowed, and tl<o 4big bluo eyes danced just ns eagerly as I have seen in sonic little faces not fur oil", on other Gliri?tmns days. It was n protty enough picture as they gath ered around their father ; the sturdy baby boy, who had just learned to toddle along bj' a chair, grasping papn'u knee and laying his rosy checks against it; the two demure littlo girls, Grata und Minn, looking so Oer man, with their flaxen hair hanging in' two smooth plaits oi Gael; side of the round, fair faces, their blt'.c, wide open eyes, und bright cherry-colored bodices, nnd short.skirts; then the two boys, Herman and Fritz, jolly fellows enough even for Charley's liking; then the sober, student-like brother, Qodfre, and over in the corner by the stove, keeping .steadily on with her knitting, in tho midst of all the bustle, a rather stern, Bad-look ing middle-aged lady, whom the children called Aunt Katariuo, but whom Herr Kaufman in troduced to j me by the English-sounding name of Madame Lester.' I si "The good Christ-child has Jent you n gift, my children," said the father; "lie could not come to bo with us Himself, to-night, so He has sent ono of his dear little ones instead ; He wishes to make the little snow-maiden wel come for His, sake, this Christmas night. Let each ono of us, my children, stfivd, what we can do for the littlo one the kind Christ-child has sent us, that she may loam what this hap py Christmas means." As the good father glanced from ono to another of his own rosy, happy flock, staid German its he was, I could hoar that his voice 1 ^'rew husky, nnd even fancied that his eye might. ii.?ve become a littlo ;;dlm, as I think | "rs would, if voii bntl UCen tho contrast be ' * -^o children, in their bright, hnpnv homo, their hearts :1anC,n?

At length tho mother's step was heard de scending tho Btairs, and half-a-dozon littlo feet ran out fco meet her, while the little tongues poured forth ft list of cxcito^l questions. Littlo Agnos? for thus she hud givon her name?had quite revived; a warm rest in a soft be4 to-night- would quito restoru her..

"Here''comes sister' Netto. Now, for tho* Christinas' tree, at last V' " I had seen many a brfgh't Christmas tree be ? fore, and caw' look back On many a worry} Christmas Eve, but the scene that night when' the wide door was thrown back, was certainly; the triost beautiful I ever beheld ; of course there was something iti the novelty nnd interest of the occasion, and the unsuspected change from my loneliness; but apart from that it was a lovely sight. In the middle of the wide* robm, with its high carved ceiling, Stood the' Christmas'trce, all a silver blur.e with hundred^ 'of tiiry tf:Vndl6s, which shed n soft light on the"' pure white dress, and sweet, fair fuco of sister Netta, who, with a beautiful silver wand, stood* ready to disengage the gifts from the magical; tree. But what made the efleet so strange nnd. beautiful was the figure of an angel, with wbito winga*out>sprcad, aud garments reflectiug the silver brightness of tho. myriad tiny tapers ;< who hovered softly over the tree, and really, looked as if he wore indeed a visitant from the bright angelic throng. ; . .. >Yhile.we gazed iusilqncc for a moment f.a& sister's .soft voice raised tho note* yf :i ChrUtpj. mas hymnk. nild the chil'i,.fcn a voices took up'. i the chorus,:iu luUrttt ufjjnyuu* midotly^whnfK' ; soun'L^ like a .wailed melody from the uugcl cl'.oir. Tho hymn soou died away, and after a mo ment's .silence the merriment began. Tliu tree yielded marvellous fruits ; toys, skates, books, and trinkets ; all imaginable gifts which could gratify the taste of German or American boys and girls. Some of the articles bad a slip of paper attached, with sonic appropriate words: ''"With mother's love to her obedient boy j" "To the son who has learned to conquer idle ness; "]?br the little" hands that love to help mother;" and on one'-The Christ-child'sends thee this from the poor old woman, who had a strong arm to lean on over the slippery stones." Even the strange guest was not forgotten. Several little tokens which Nettie's kiud hand, obedient to her. mother's thoughtful whisper, have hung ftnud?'* the branches, found their way to me, and arc still treasured up in memo ry of tljat Christmas night. Each child, too, laid away from the store of treasures something for the littlo snow-child up stairs, and the pile of gifts,' thuB laid aside, contain many of the most valued possessions of each generous young heart, j he fairy tapers at length be gan to burn low, and, nt a signal from the -father, silence again succeeded the sound of merry voices; then again, tho sweet carrol was wafted upon the silver lighted air,and the brooding angel seemed to me to join in the heavenly melody. Often as we stood arourd the tree, I had uo tiocd the faco bf Madame Lester, and won dered that 1 could have called it harsh. Sad it certainly was, but as one little hand alter another slipped within hers tho Christmas token, the hard lines softoued about the com pressed lips, the rigid features quivered, nnd nt last Aunt KutaYi?b's face, fairly softened, and as she quietly brushed aside tear after tfljjf a smile almost as goutle and loving as the moth er's trembled on the care-worn lips. As we returned to the parlor after the hymn had ceased, hor hand was laid on Kcrr Kauf man's arm, and with a voico trembling with emotion and long untouched feeling, tdio said, "Give mo that child, brother. You havu enough; let mo tako that stray lamb homo ; it will perchance mako n spring-time once more iu this withered old heart. Your children have taught mo to-night that it is not nil dead." ,"lt is to you, sister," said the father, softly, "that tho Christ-child has sent this messenger; let hor oomfort you for your lost Annie. She will light for you a Christmas taper which will never grow dim." Too quickly the rest of the Christmas Ev? passod. Tho children had all separated for their Christmas dreams, which, no doubt were full enough of the stockings they had hung up at, tho chimney place ; but we older ones spent a happy hour before the striking of tlie clock, warned me that my visit must come to' a close. " And (lid Madame Lester tak<? the littlo ^irj asked AVillio. "And didr she love lier fgjjjnr bo' much ?" said Katic.: "Yea, indeed,'* '?Aid brother Heury. "I saw her many a time lifterwardp with little Agnes, and ?he seemed to havo grown young and handsome again." "But how did . ehe get such an English name, Henry if" inquired Herbert. -'That is a part I forgpt to ball you," replied Henry. "Madame Lester had married an Englishman wheo sho .was very young, and wont away to England to live. There for sometime she was very happy ; (hjit while she was still young her troubles began. Her husband was crippled by an accident, aud j&fter lingering helplessly for some years, left a jjgridow. Troublo after trouble darkened her ;ltfe. Two noble boys she had lost just as thoy |y,ere becoming old enough to divide her cares; aud at length her only daughter aud sole re maining joy, was taken from her, Thus the strong woman's heart failed Desolate and broken-hearted she leturned to the German homo of her girlhood ; that icy band of sorrow and disappointment frozen around her. The happy voices of the children seemed only to tildso more firmly the harsh lips, and seal up the lonely heart iuto a more isolated grief. But to-night tho icy bauds had been incited. The lonoliucss of the friendless child touched the pity and lovo so long locked up, and Christ mas had dawn, both for tho desolate mother and the poor little orphan Agnes." "That was a good Christmas, brother, Heu ry," cried little Katie; aud I am so glad that the poor lady got a little girl of her own to keep her from looking so cross." Mother, who had come in quietly in the midst of the story, took her. own little sunbeam in her arms, and stopped to imprint a kiss on the bright, loving lace her son turned up to wards her as she stood by his chair; aud from that look the eyes of both, I am sure, ho kuo';, that she too had guessed the secret of that quiot German love.

High as the Rocky mountains tower over the Mississippi Valley, does the character of the married man tower above that of the bach elor. What is a bachelor? What was Adam before ho gO! acquainted with Evo ? What, but a poor, shiftless, hclidoss, insignificant creature? No more to bo compared to his after-self, than a mill dam to tho great roaring cataract of Niagara. (Applauso.) Gentlemen, there was a time, I blush to spy it, when I, too, was a bachelor; and- a more miserable creature, you would hardly oxpoct to find. Every day 1 toiled hard, and at night I came homo to my comfortless garret?no car pet, no fire, no nothing. Everything was in a ??lutter, and in the words of tho poet, "Con fusion was monarch of all ho surveyed." Here lay ? dirty pair of pants, thove a dirty pair of hoots, there a play hill, and hero a pile of dirty clothes. AY hat wonder that 1 took re fuge at the gaining tablo and bay room, I found it would never do, gontlemen, and in a lucky moment [ vowed to reform. Scarcoly had tho juHiinise pulsed my lips when a knoo\: was hoard at the door, and in camo Jausan, Sitnpkins aftor my dirty clothes.
