A Ckrlstmnu Niory.
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. I did not tel] you,
the last time I was our, I saw*-C?*l
Graioger very mtrch intoxicated. "lie is
living now entirely on his expectations."
"Minima! mamma! Kriss j&risgla's
corning\ ScoISee! 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. And?
you may say Uncie, if yon' prefer," he
said.
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.

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

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

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.
