BY KHAN cis nEXSILAW BAI>?X. It was Christmas morning. The sun was shining brightly on the new-fallen snow. It whs just coin cportjih.to freeze. The sleigh-bells were n?giii^ merrily. The ibildnn were having r. gay time^ skatin? and coasting, and playing tricks on pflssers-nyj Qno decrepit old! man was^ th.-owii (i?.wu bytfieii* trictfr' ant", lay ao stiil they feared*'th^ UftJ killed hirn. ~*T ~ y* Another eye besides theirs witnessed the ucuidont and its cause. A young girl stood iu tho bay wm'Amv of the mansion before which Ihc old aiab had fallen; another' inltulit, and alic buuie running down the maiblc stefs,41ml un mindful of her costly hit ire, the rich silk that fell in heavy folds ahout her form, she sank down beside the old man, exclaiming: "Kur shniuc, boys! Conic, .Eugeue, and help me raise Hini. Nay, he must be must be car o bring Hrowjj here." f A moment or two after, Kugeno re turned, followed by a (argil; strong look ing man, \. ho, in obedience to the gins command, raised aud bore to the house the inanimate for it! of tho poor old stranger. "Oenllyj gently, IJrowu ! Piuse him on the lounge," she said. Restoratives were applied. Tenderly he was cared for. And utter a short time, tho kind girl's efforts were success ful. The old mau opened his 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 came in the room, bearing on a sil ver waiter a card. She looked at it and s? id : "Tell Mr. Granger I will be up very soon. Ask Minima to entertain him " Fifteen minutes passed, and still she lingered with the sufferiug mau. He Was lame, and the fall had occasioned such severe pain to the afflicted limb, that he had fainted. It was impossible for him to walk at all, just then. A rustle of silken robes, and Mrs Cameron glided into the room, aod stood looking with perfect amazement on the sccna before.her, Kneeling beside tho lounge, alternately bathing the face and placing wine to the lips of the miserable old man, was her daughter. "Florence I?who??what is the inc in ing of this?" sho asked. The gentlo girl explained, and her mother said : "One of the servants coutd have at tended to him. If he is able to be moved how, you had better sond word to the proper authorities, ami have him car ricd to his home, or the alms-house." "But; mttmnia, w. are the proper oues to attend him. Kugeuo ana his com panions are accoutitcble for his suffer ing" Tho old man said something in n low, feeble Voico, aud Florence's car was beut 6rose* to catch the words. "He will'go homo," he says. "Well, you must wait a little longer, and I wili hwj 4 Che can'i.igc ?" "A carriage ! Ii'you please, Iflorcnoe, scndlBrown to procure one," Mrs. Came ron said. "As slio turhed to louvo the room, hIic continued, "Mr. Urangqr will feci flattered by your'cortduct.* "Send him here, mamma. I know ho will think I'm doing *ig)>t." A few moments more, and Carl Gran ger came into tho - room. Florence's sweet, ?jbright face, that had been raised to greet him, was suddenly clouded.. She saw that sjrc had mistaken tier lover?for, with an cxprcsibion of con tempt, wh^li ho could not, or cared not to hide, lie looked on" the suffering man. Scar1^ -had Mr. Grander passed the1 compliments of tho d'*y, when ngaiu the drior opencdj and amMhcr young man en tered. Ho was not strikingly hati'souie, like life other," but it.was the. face of one that children loyo to linger oca'r, women .confide in, and men trust. '?Uxfcuse-, nie", but I have permission,'' hp said. "Mrs. Cnutcron told me you were entertaining your guests hero.'* Turning to greet Mr. Granger, the young man saw- the sufFercr on the louu??*. ?Who llaVc yon hero ? Are }on hurt, sir '{" ho said, going up to the side of .the old man and taking his hand. j|* Briefly Florcnco'told ol his lall; and the look of admiration, nay, olmcet ado ration, which beamed in William Hart ley's eyes na they sought hers, ought to have becu tho hulm to entirely heal the woundt caused by Carl Granger's look. l?u', it was not, just then, for Florence had thought more of the hnudsomc Carl than utiy of the other youug men who visifod tue houso. She was dreadfully disappointed to /enmr nttti so different from her thoughts. The old man signified his desire to go; I aritj when Htown returned with a car riage, Wilii.tm Hartley, with altuo?t wo manly gentleness, assisted . 1*im in, and urged that he mght accompany him home. An. npproving look from Hfclor jfince, and he jumped, in. tdesed tho doofr, and ordered the orixei number directed,. "God. bless you 1 You are n good child. I shall never forgot this day. Perhaps I'll come to sec you again some time," the -dd man said, .then leaving. The s line contemptuous expreaidon was again on Carl's face, and he su'.d succringly : . "Q>'?te a disiinguialica acquisition to .Mis*: Jumeron's list of acquaintances!" A deep flush mantled her fa r brow, but she deigned no word of reply. Carl Granger Bav he had been indiscreet, to say the Ic.-ut. nnd endeavored, by putting frtitll his most fascinating powers, to cist away the cloud that had gathered on the face usually so blight. Carl's attempts were fruitless. Uut when an hour had passed, and William Hartley returned, then, to his great chagrill, he saw a softer light glow iu he" ijitrk eyes, and her lips wrcafhed with smiles that he had failed to draw forth. That night Carl Granger, dcterm;.. i cd to kiiow his fate, asked Florence to be his wife, and, to her parents' great disappointment, she Kindly but firmly said she "could not love him." '?Foolish girl ! Do you not know thnt, besides hin own fortune, Mr. Granger is the only heir of an old uncle", who is fabulously rich ?" said Mrs. Cameron. Florence's father's disappointment was ns Keen as liif wiic a, fur itc. fcii his foundation trembling, and knew before long it must fail. And so it was; be fore another year had passed the stately mansion was no longer his. lie was almost penniless. But he was a true, loving lather, and would not barter his child's hca? for gold. And so, when William llarloy won Florence, ho took her not froth a home of luxury, but one as humble as his own. Years rolled by, bringing with them joy and sorrow, until ?ix years had passed. During the last one clouds had gather ed, swilt and dirk, over Willi.un Hart Icy ami his loved ones; and so oti Chriat inns morning six years after the oho when tho strange old man was helped by Florence, they were nbsuiutoly destitute. "1 wonder what has become of that old man? said William, during the day. ''I called a few d.i)s after I took him home, to inquire how he was get ting 'm, but ho had gono from that place.'' "l>o you know, William, to that old man's sufTurit^s you nr.: iutcbtcd for yodrwifo? That day 1 saw the differ ence bctwe:n you and Carl Granger. IIia heartlcpancss frightened mo, and I fled to you, and grew calm and happy," Mgjhj foreiKo. A:hile a beiuliM flush -;-?-: 7^"^W ~ spread over her faco, chasing aV?amhc cars worn look of a few motnenfl Ehe furo. "You fled to poverty, toil, suffering Oh I my di.rling, I hoped to have jsheT ted you from "such." "I fled from worse. Corns, cheer up! all will yet bo well.

Hurra 1 Old*, Ivriss liked to have forgotten us, 1 guess !" cried little Willie, shoring an*, clap ping his hands. ( *r* Florence aro3e to look out, when a knock sounded on the. door; opening which she behold standing before her the old man of whomc >hc had just been 'speaking. i "Come iu ! I am glad to afp yon ! .Where, have you been this long titans t And how did you find us ?" Florence asked, taking his baud and drawing him in. "I found very easily what I had never iosf-. I'v'c thought of yen dXan, but chose to conio to-day*. It is A'~"Zood time to come," answered the old ni?. "Conic 1 sit down bore," satd.WiUiatn, getting up arid offering hisbaj-n 'com fortable chair. "Wait a bit. If I set d'e'v.n, I don't want to get up soon. Helte'- "know first how long I cau stay," answered the old man, still standing. "As long as you like. W< arc poor, very poor, but if you want a home with us, we will not send you forth. Sit down," unswered William. '?The same ! unchanged V- murmured the stranger. "What shall wc call yon* *nked Flo misc.. "Kriss Kringle! Tho children call ed nie so Let them continue.

A comical expression W?;s 'on his face, "smiles continued to jilay *-.bout his thin ftpVv-'Sa i..'. -1 **"?i*2tipr>i*. + When Florence went ou to, prepare the frugal dinner, the old man called the children, and listeued to their lisp ing voices. William was watching, very much amused, when the old man's words were whispered, und little Willie, seem ing to understand, lowered "Ms Vdne, and the heads of the old atid the young were close together, at soiiiu mysterious plot ting. The father's amusement was soon changed to the greatest amazement when, soon alter, as Florence came back, Wil lie ran up, exclaiming: "Christmas gift tor mamma, and papa too! KrtHS Kringle sent I hem to you!" It was only a little roll id'paper. Ope ning which, they found, told in words never plainer. No more poverty ! no more toiling 1" Many thousands ?l dol lars they held in their hand They could not speak at li:st. But after a while, when they poured forth tlieir thanks, Kriss Kringle said : "Your homo is mine! you and yottrfi are ue! All 1 have is for you ! You won it six years ago, bot Ii cf you. And that day, you had another friend with you. I knew him by name before; I learned his nature then. I heard his remark when I was going out. Ha ! ha ! He lost something then, didn't he 9 till ?" yu,rf.rr? n?.i iv;n;..R1 thought the old man was V2ry shrewd to have read the' hearts of all, that Christ mas day. But he meant not what they thought. They know it in after years. "Go, make our children happy '." he urged. "And, my good child, take this," handing her more money, "and make the poor old folks you meet, and the little chrildro.i who are looking long ingly in at the gay windows, uiako them happy too." Oh. what a joyous Christmas it was ! For live years the old man dwelt with them, aud then he sank calmly to sleep, loving hearts and gentle hands soothing him. And then, from a lawyer of high standing, came the startling information that William Hartley and Florence were the only heirs to all the Immense wealth of uld Mark Oraiu?cr. Then too, it was, they knew that Carl's hcartlessucss and rude, unkind speech had wrecked all his prospects of ever posscss;ng bis uncle's wealth. He knew it too, when the news reached him. In the will there was but ono request: "Make tho old folks and'the chrildrcn happ'y," it was. Thoy follow bidding, livery Christ man-day finds them doing tho work they love so well. -? - 1 .1 ' ? f A "Personal'* Vision. The following appears among ihe "Per sonala" of tho N. Y. Herald : I dream ed of you the other night, my friend. Ton stood before me, and aa I approach ed to apeak, gazing into jour dear, bright face, a hidious creature rose be tween oa in a black cloud, abutting you out from'vfeYr. Her picture is burned into "tuy moniory. She was a fat, squat ty damsel, about four feet high, with buc great, squinting green eye, with a rod jdge, like a Lima b'V-m cut in malachite and set in coral, lior hair was the color of the setting sun or rising moon, aqd flowed like a bunch of radishes or young nee Is down her downy neck. Her nose was like a dab ofsoft puddy thrown against a door, and her mouth resem bled a hole iu a kid glove bursting from OYer-tij?htnesa, or n weather crack in n white oak log, or a ragged edged break iu a little boys trousers. Her teeth stood along zigeag in that mouth at in tervals like u line of aniiquo fence posts. Her cheeks owing to early misfortunes in the small jnox line, looked like twin book wheat cakes it their first griddle agony, or two rolls of honeycomb tripe. With ears straining every nerve to leave their bafc"^ head, and a complexiou !' -*i a New Jersey road in i dry time, or a.pile cf pale priukb or -\ Boston squash ; r. waist fully five Icet round, and a form taller when she lies down than wh . n she stands up. Su'di was tho as pect of this lovely bcih?, as,.nxiug that fearful eye Upon me, and with a counte nance ashen with fury ami jealousy, she shrieked out, to my intense relief, "I hate you !*' Hud she loved tUQ my fu ucral would have occurred the second day afterward. She vanished behind a I rosate cloud, which, slowly'fading away into a silvery mist, revealed your own beautiful self, my friend. Taking my hand between your own, you uttered these memorable and giddeu words ul co.ifide in you ; let us ever be friends." Buowx Gloves. A Close Shave. Wc have heard of a great many mean transactions Iii the way of close bargain ing and shaving, but wo dou't remember to have met anything closer vr smaller than the following : Paran Jndkiua was a Justice in a Western district?a grasping, miserly, close-fisted, flinty-hcartcd mat', who Had grow i old and gray in money making. One day he hired a poor man to come and do some work about It ft house. Upon removing his coat preparatory to settling nt work, the laborer's pipo slipped out upon the grouud, and old Judkins saw it, and picked it tip. After working j a while the man thought he woqld smoke, ; but upon looking for his pipe it was not to be found. Judkins came out while he was searching, and asked what he had ' lost. '"I'v. loot my pipe." s;jid the man. "Is limit?' u.-kod Judkins, holdiug up the pipe. The man Said it was, and reached out his hand to take it. "Hold I" auid Judkins. "It is a small thing. I knew J but since I tun a Jus tice, we may as well proceed legally. In order to mako a proper avowal of own ership you must Lc sworu. Hold up your hand." Thf man held up his h ind and Jud kins administered the oaih, after which the laborer still persisting in his owner ship, the pipo was surrendered. Whan the job for which the poor fel low had buen'engaged was done, ho came for his pay. lie had worked half a day, and wanted fifty cents. "All rjght," said Judkins. "You owe me half a dollar, 80 wo are just square." I?I?owe you, 'Squire?'' "Yes. The law allows mo half a dol lar for administering the oath '. Don't you see ?" The poor ttlau saw to his sorrow ; for upon that basis Judkins forced the set tlement. Tiik Hoy of tiik Pkriod.? The So phomore* of Harvard University arc charge! with placing a keg of powder, at quarter beforo ten o'clock on Monday evening, in ouo of tire dormitories ol Harvard College. The powder ra put in the cellar, udder rooms accupicd by members of tho freshman class, Tho result was the dcslructsou of almost eve rything in two of the j-aouis, the shock tearing up1 a pland in ouch room,destroy ing their couto'ita, and sending their oc r/upattts forcibly a^lu t the ceiling SlNGDLA? Accident.?-A. correspon dent of the {Somerset r: (Pa.), Democrat says one of the most singular accidents ercr heard of recoutly occurred near Ursina, on the Hue of the Cumberland and Pittaburg Railroad: A man named Thomas Flanagan, -*a foreman on the works,-took his pipe froad his1 paclitj in Which was a small pistol cartridge, which, it is supposed) got tnto the pipe, aud Mr. Flanigan, not noticing .it, filled the pipe with tobacco and commenced puf fing away. Alter smokiv^g. for some time the fire reached the cartridge, which exploded and took an upward course, .striking the uufortuoate. mau in'the tem ple ovo; tho right eye, cutting an ugly gash and filling his cyos witq the ashes aud tobacco from the pipe. A number of persons'where in the ho'us at the 'time, and all thought the ftCport was occasion ed by a shot tired frctn .the outside.' Mrs. Tissue (a, lady in the house) fainted, and it was sometime until 'he real causo of tho accident was( discovered. Dr Harry was called, und attcuded the wounded man, aud no is doing well. r " SJhv tktmdfc "of, Jueith.?The above is assumed- by a body of* determin ed Vcudeau Frenchwomen who, through one of their iiumbor, address, an appeal to the Ming of Prussia, which the Havre journals publish in largo type in their leading col'Lmcs. They implore King William to hold from stricken France, now that Napolion, his empire ugd his annico are beaten down. They.fvivokc all geutlo influences and amprcBiions to this end aud denounce him to tho vengeance of heaven should bo turn a dealt' ear to their supplications. They thus c.ncludc : . . "Rut should you, hardeuing your heart in pride aod hatred, continue the. work of the cqecutioner, then, |rom pe ing a suppliant as I am to day, to arrest you on the Verge of the abyss that opens before you, and prevent your name be coming a by-word of execration, I shall rise u]i to-morrow to light against you Yes, sire, I shall be one of the band of women now minting ?n^ iUa p*ffn nf the 'Legions of Judith.' And wo pray ?Hat the spirits of Judith, of Jacl, of Joul of Are, of Charlotte Corday. aud nil the illustrious women selected by Heaven to puui&h the haughty, may give us the victory." As to Low Dresses.? Most fash ions owe their origin to un attempt to to give prominence to the strjng point or hide the wc?.k point of a king or queen: Thus powder came intovoguc to conceal a queen's gray hair, and large berukes because a king was bald. H"e learn, however, from u -Belgian paper, that the custom of ladies exhibiting their bus S in all the beauty of nature has n far more romantic origin. In a battle iu which the French were engag ed (all dates, w,c may mention aro iu rescrvo.) their ranks were broken, nud they were routed. YYheu they retrea ted tluir women bared their breasts and entreated them to pierce them rather than permit then to fall into tho hands of the enemy. This was two much for the gallant (iauls. Nerved with trcsh courage they turned, renewed the Com bi?, and wuro victorious*. Prom that hour Freuen women have od f^ftat Oc'tU sions always been accustomed to wear their dresses low. In lack, when you ace mm uiie who i?ppoi?f3 to have furgut the upper part af her dress, it is no proof of iudellicasy, but simply an indecation of tho power of notional sentiment. This satisfactorily explains what man}' ikon rant people have taken for impropriety. We live and learn. We heasd of a boy tho other day, who accidentally swallowed a silver lrilf dol lar. They gave him warm water and tartar emetic and antimonial wine, and puked thoir ruigers down his throat, un til tho boy thought he would throw up his toe nails. After a while a doctor ? nine along, who understood these caset. Ho gavo tho boy a small dose of patent medicine, and in less than ten miuutes he throw up the half dollar pi fivo ceut pieces. Soiouco is a big thing. . 4 . . CllAPrsp Hands?This isthoseason for tho somewhat "painful and decidedly aunoying experience oi chapped hands.
