It was Christmas morning. The sun
was shining brightly on the new-fallen
.muff. Tt was just cold e|inri*:h tn freeze,
'i'he sli'igh-bclls were rUighi^ merrily.
The ibildr'ih were having r gay tintCy
sk.ttiiig and coasting,? and pUytng trick*
on passers-byl Ono decrepit old man
th.vwii 'd\.wu bj~tnVii* trit-Ur' . un(L
i .-ailt they IcnreQ*'th^v h..*u killed
Another aye besides theirs witnessed
the uccidcot and its cause. A young
gi*l idood in tho bay WMr'uw of the
ruunsiou before which Ute old amb bad
fallen; another' instant, and ahe batue
running down the tumble htet?*', .und uu
unndful of her costly attire, the rich
silk tb it fell in heavy fold* ubuut nor
form, she sank down beside the old man,
exclaiming:
"For slintuc, boys I Come, .Eugeuc,
und help me raise t*.iat. Nay, he must
be must be carl-lci. Go bring Bro\yji
here." f
A moment or two after, Eugene re
turned*, followed by n large, strong look
ing man, \. ho, in obedience to the ?irl's
command, raised and bore to the bouse
the inanimate fohrl uf tho poor old
stranger.
??Geully-, gently^ Ilrown ! Plr.30 Ititu
on the lounge," fche said.
Kehtoratives were applied. Tenderly
he was cared for. And after a short
time, the kind girl'a efforts were succcss
ml. The old man opened bis eyes, and
looked inquiringly into her face. She
explained the accident, and was holding
a glass of wine to his lips, when a ser
vant entue in the room, bearing on a sil
ver waiter a card. She looked ut it und
said :
? in ???'?'. .......... i ? VVlia i.V. up Xiilj
soon. Ask tnaintna to entertain him "
Fifteen minutes passed, and still she
lingured with the suffering man. He
was Ismo, and the fall bad occasioned
such severe pain to the afflicted limb, j
that be bad fainted. It was impossible
for him to walk at nil, just then.
A rustle of silken robes, and Mrs
Cameron glided into the room, and stood
looking with perfect amazement on the
sccna before.her, Kneeling beside the
lounge, alternately batbiug the face, and
lacing wine to thn lips of the miserable
old man, was her daughter.
"Florence !?who ??what is the roe m
ing of this ?" sho naked.
The gentlo girl ea plained, and her
mother said :
"One of (he servants coulrj havo nt
nded to him. If be is nblo to bo
moved now, you hud better send word to
the proper authorities, and baYcbim car
rind to bis home, or the alms-house "
"But; tntttnina, are the proper ones
to attend him. Kugtuo and bis com
panions are accountcble for hia suffer
ing."
The old man said something in a low,
foeble Voice, and Florence's car was bent
elo:-? to catch the words.
"He wiu'gv Iiosmv," he says. "Well,
you inust. wait a little longer, ami I (nil
rrarw uic vantage?
-.5 ?
"A carriage ! If you please, tflorenoe,
send! Brown \o procureone," Mrs. Cnmc
ron said. As slto turned t? fonvo the
room, ehe continued, "Mr. Granger wilt
feel fl ittered by your'conduet.
"Send him here, mamma. I know ho
will think I'm doing i'Bnt-"
A few motccnts more, and CarlGran
ger came into the room. Florence's
sweet, Jbright face, that had been raised
to greet him, was suddenly clouded.
Sbe saw that ajrc had mistaken he*
lover-?for, with an expression of-?con-'
tempt, wM$h hq c uid not, .or cared not
to hide, uelookc'd on" -the suffering man.
Scathe Had Mr. Gfan&cr passed the.
coniplimeuls of tho dsy, when agsiu the
door opened, und another yotfhg man en
tered. Ho was not strikingly hau'taome,
'like life other but it.Was the face of one
that children love to linger bear, women
cunude in, and men trust.
"Kx'cuse me, brAt I have permission,"
hp said. "Mrs. Cameron to.id.uie you
were entertaining ^four guests here.'* ,
Turning to greet Mr. GrarijjVr, the
young man saw the sufferer on the
lounge.
:"<Who liaVc you here 1 Are J on hurt,
?ir f" ho said, going up to thd side of
the old man and taking his hand.'
Briefly Florence* told oi his fall; and
the look of admiration, nay, almcet ado
ration, which beamed in William Hart
ley's eyes na they sought hers, ought to
have becu the balm f" entirely hcai the
wound^ caused by C ? Granger's look.
Huf, it was not, just thei^ for Florence
had thought more of the handsome Carl
than tiny of the other young men who
visifod tac house. She was dreadfully
disappointed to kitoic hun so different
from her thoughts..
The old mnn signified his desire to go;
an'4 when Brown returned with !t car
riage, William Hartley, with almost wo
manly geutloucss, assisted....him in, aud
urged that he mglit accompany him
hwnic. An. approving lovk from "$Uor
once, and he jumped in, cfoxed the daor,
aud ordered I lie txntei ?v ?I?-? mtSBkm^Er
number directed.
"GoetvBfe&i you 1 You are n good
child. I shall never forget this day.
Perhaps I'll come to sec you again some
time," the old man said, .then leaving.
The siine contemptuous expression
was again on Carl's face, aud he sa'.d
succriugly : .
'! ? . " ?'"'??''4
'?.Quite a distinguished acquisition to
Mis': Cameron's list of acquaintances!"
A ilc'p flush mantled her fa r brow,
but she deigned uo word of reply. Carl
Granger saw he had been indiscreet, to
say the loiut. und endeavored, by putting
with his must fascinating powers, to cast
away the cloud that had gathered on the
face usually so bright. Carl's attempts (
J were fruitless. But when an hour had
passed, and William Hartley returned,
then, to his great chagrin, he saw a softer
light glow in hel- .j irk eyes, and her lips
wreathed with' smiles that he had failed
to draw Forth;
That night Carl Granger, determin
ed to Iniow his fato, asked Floren^o to
be his wife, and, to her parents' great
disappointment, she hindly but firmly
I said she "could not lore him."
I "Foolish girl ! Do you not know that,
besides bis own fortune, Mr. Oranger is
the only heir of an old uncle", who is
lahiihiuxlv rich?" said Mrs. Cameron.
Florence's father's disappointment
was as Keen as his Wife's, for he felt his j
foundation trembling, and knew be furo
'long it must fail. Aud so it was; be
fore another year had passed the Btatcly
mansion was no longer his. He was
! almost penniless. But he was n true,
I loving father, and would not barter his
child's hcarf for gold.
And so, when William Harley won
Florence, he took her not from a home
of luxury, but onq as humble as his own.
Years rolled by, bringing with them joy
and sorrow, until .-ix years had passod.
During the last one clouds had gather
ed, swift and dirk, over Willi.uu Hart
ley and his loved ones; andso on Christ
mas morning. Bix years after the one
when (ho strango t>ld mau was helped by
Florence, they wcro ubsulutely destitute.
"I wonder what has become of that
old man? said William, during the
day. "I called a few dajs after I took
him home, to inquiro how he was get
ting *>n, but ho had gone from that
place.''
'.'Do you kuuw, William, to that old
man's Bufferings you urj iutebted for
your wife? Th^t day. I saw the differ

Florence arose to look out, when
knock sounded on tlie. door; opening
which sho behold standing before her

"Come iu ! I am gluu to flfe you!

"I found very easily what I hud never

"Come 1 stt down, hore," said, William,
getting up and offering hU?tjj?jrn 'com
fortable chair.
"Wait a bit. If I set dv<7n,T don't
want to get up soon, ftnow first
how long I can stay," answered the old
man, still standing.
"As long aa you^ like. \vY afe poor,
rery poor, but if you want a \ homo with
us, we will not send you. forth. Sit
down," answered William.
"The same ! unchanged I" murmured
the stranger.
"What shall we call you Tasked Flo
reuse..
"Krias Kringle! The chrfhireu call
ed me so Let them continue. And?
you may say Uncie, if ynn'^breter," ho
said.* . .. >JpT -
A comical expression w?ia ''on his face,
"atpiles continued toj^lny ? .-.bout hiH thin
When Florence went ou to. prepare
the frugal dinner, the old man culled
the children, and liateued to their lisp
ing voices. William was watching, very
much urn used, when the old 111:111? words
were whispered, and little Willie, seem
ing to understand, lowered V\n Vdne, and
the heads of (be old atid the young were
close together, at aotnu mysterious plot
ting.
The father's amusement was soon
cbunged to the greatestamaxcincut when,
.soon alter, as Floroucc came buck, Wil
lie run up, exclaiming:
'?Christmas gift lor mamma, and papa
too! Kri:-s Kringle sent tbeni to you!"
It was only n little roll of paper. Ope
ning which, they found, tuld iu words
never plainer. No more poverty ! no
more toiling I" Many thousands of dol
lars they held in their hande.
They could not speak at fi:st. But
after a while, when they poured forth
tlicir thanks, Kriad Kringle said :
' Your home is mine! you and yoUrt
are mine! All I huvo i.* for you! You
won it six yours ago, botU cf you. And
tint day, you hud nnother friend with
you. I knew him by name before; I
icurucd ins nature then. I heard bis
remark when I was gohig out. Ha!
ha ! He lost something then, didn't he?
ah ?"
Florence and William thought the old
tnuti wa-t VSry shrewd to have read the'
hearts of all, that Christmas day. But
he meant uot what they thought. They
knew it in after years.
"Go, make our children happy !*' be
urged. "And, my good child, take
this," bunding her more money, "and
make the poor old folks you meet, and
tho little chrildro.i who arc looking long
ingly in at the gay windows, tnako thorn
happy too."
Oh. what a joyous Christinas it was !
Fur five years the old uiuu dwelt with
tllOUl, and then ho sank calmly to sleep,
loving hearts atid gcntla bunds aootbing
him.
And then, from a luwycr of high
standing, cuuic the startling information
that William Hartley and Florence were
the ouly heirs to all the Immense wealth
of uld Mark Gruiugor. Then too, it
wan. they knew that Curl's hcurtlesancss
and rude, unkind spoecb had wrecked
all Ins prospects of ever possets1 og his
nnolo's wealth. He knew it too, when
the news rcaohed him. In the will
there was but one request: "Make tho
old folk's and the, cbrildrcn happy." it
was. Thoy follow bidding. KVcry
Christuias-duy finds them doiu'g tho
work they love so well.

A MPeP8on*lr Vision.
The folio wing appears among the "Per
sonals" of the N. Y. Herald : I dream
ed of you the other night, my friend,.
You stood before me, and as I approach
ed to speak, gazing into your dear,
bright face, a hidious creature rose be
tween us in a bhrck cloud, shutting you
oat ftow'trteYr. Her picture is burocd
idto niy momory. She was a fat, squat
try damsel, about four feet high, with toe
great, squinting green eye, with a red
vjdge, liken Lima u'V-m cut in malachite
and set in coral. Hor hair was the
color of the setting sun or rising moon,
and flowed like ;t bunch of radishes or
V> y? i ?? *MV - ~T
young ofe'ela down hor downy neck. Her
nose was like a dab of soft puddy thrown
against a door, and her mouth resem
bled a hole in n kid glove bursting from
orer-tightncss, or n weather crack in a
white oak log, or a ragged edged break
i in a little boy's trousers. Her teeth
I stood along zigzag in that mouth at in
tervals like a line of aniiquo fence posts.
Her checks owing to early misfortuues
in the small pox line, looked like twin
buckwheat cakes it their first griddle
agony, or two rolls of honeycomb tripe
With ears s/ratning every nerve to leave
their fofoht head, aud n complexion
lit:** a New Jersey road in i dry time,
or a pile of pale. priyoVi or a Boston
squash ; r. waist five tcet rouud, and
a form taller when she lies down (hau
when she stands up. Such was the as
pect of this lovely fcciofc; as^fixing^tnat
I fearful eye Upon me, and with a counte
nnnco ashen with fury and jealousy, she
shrieked out, to my intense relief, "I
hate you P' Had she loved me my fu
neral would have occurred the second
day afterward. She vauisAed behind a
rosate cloud, which, slowljriad.ng away
into a silvery mist, revealed your own
beautiful self, my friend. Taking my
baud between your own, you uttered
these memorable and goldeu words, "I
co.ifidc iu you ; let us ever be friends."

A Close Shave.
We have heard of a gtcat many mean
transactions !!! the Way of close bargain
' ing and shaving, but wo dou't rctueiuber
to have met anything closer sjr stuallrr
than the following :
Pafttn Judkius was a Justice in a
Western district?a grasping, miserly,
close fisted, flinty-hearted man, who had
grow.r old and gray in money making.
One day ho hired a poor man to come
and uo some work about bis bouse.
Upon removing his coat preparatory to
settling at work, thu laborer's pipa slipped
out upon the grouud, aud old Judkius,
saw it, and picked it up. After working
a while the man thought he woqld siuoke,
but upon looking lor his pipe it was not
to be fouud. Judkins came out while
he was searching, aud asked what ho had
lost.
"I've io.-.t my pip?5." said the man.
"In this it,?'' usked Judkius, holdiug
up the p pe.
The man sjid it was, aud reached out
his hand to take it.
"Hold!" suid Judkins. "It is a small
thing. I knew j but since I a\n a Jus
tice, we may as well proceed legally. In
order to mako a proper avowal of own
j ci'niiip you itiust Le sworn. Hold up
I your band."
Thtf man held up his hand and Jud
kius administered the oath, after which
the laborer still persisting in his owner
ship, the pipo was surrendered.
Whan this job f'?r which, the poor fal
low had boenjjengaged was done, he eamc
for his pay. lie had worked half a day,
and wanted fifty cents.
"All right," said Judkius. "You owe
mc half a dollar, so we are just square."
I?I?owe you, 'Squire?''
"Yes. The law allows mo half a dol
lar for administering the oath ! Don't
you sec 7"
The poor ntau saw to his sorrow ; for
upon that basis Judkius forced the set
tlement.
The Boy of the Peiuou.? The So

says one of tho most singular accidents
ever heard of recently occurred near
Ursine, on the line of tho Cumberland
and Pittabdrg Railroad! A man named
Thomas Flanagan, a foreman on -the
works, took his pipe from his pack it-, in
which was a small pistol cartridge, wliioh,
it is supposed, got tnto the pipe,' and
Mr. Flunig?n, not noticing ?it, filled the
pipe with tobacco and commenced puf

exploded and took an upward course,

They thus c-ncludc : , ,
"But should you, hardening your

work of the eqecutioncr, then, from pe
ing a suppliant as I am to day, to arrest

that the spirits of Judith, of Jucl, of
Joal of Are, of Charlotte Corday, and
all the illustrious women selected by
Heaven to punish tho i haughty, may
give uS the victory."
As to Low Presses.?Most fash
ions owe their origin to an attempt to
to give prominence to the strong point
or hide the week point of a king or
queen. Thus powder came iuto'vogue
io conceal a queen'*-; gray hair, and largo
berukes because r. king was bald. l|'e
learn, however, from ti -Belgian paper,
that the custom of ladies exhibiting
their bus s in all the beauty of nature
has a far more romantic origin. In n
battle in which the. French were engag*
ed (all dates, v-e roiy mention aro iu
reserve) their r>*uLs wero broken, and
they wore routed. When they retrea
ted their wouiru bared their breasts and
entreated thctn to pierco them rather
than permit them to fall into tho hands
of the enemy. This was two much for
I the gallant Gauls. . Nerved with trcah
[ courtig? they turned, renewed the coui
bit and wero victorious. From that
j hour Kronen women have ori ffytal ofcUa
?iiir.s :tlw:ivs boon accustomed to wear
their dresses low. In fact, when you
sec one one who appears to have forgot
the upper part of her dress, it is no proof
of indellicasy, but simply an indeca,tion
of tho power ol notional sentiment. This
satisfactorily explains what rainy ikno
rant poople have taken for impropriety.
We live and learn.
