OUR CHRISTMAS STORY.
It was Christinas D&y, 1868. The morn?
ing sue smiled on the glittering snow
lib were that'nestled lovingly in the arms
of the evergreens standing thickly in the
forest, or scattered hither and thither
through pleasure .grounds. The air was
keenly coldj" but very clear. No danger
of any storm this morning. The smoke
from the chimneys rose in upright feathery
columns, the side next the son being gild?
ed by his rays. Every thing wore a holi?
day look.' A sense of peaceful gladness
prevailed out doors and in, this happy
dawn.
. But long before old??Sol" with his
bright beams, or Bridget and her shafts
of smoke were up, the children at the
house on the hill were wide awake. The
eyes-Bo sleepy on other cold mornings re?
fused to sleep on this, and no bounds of
patience or ot prudence controlled them
in bed. In their white night dresses they
forind their way into the warm, cozy sit?
ting room where the night before they had
hung their stockings in certain expecta?
tion that Santa Clans, who had never for
gotten them on any previous Christmas
EVe eycnreion, would remember them on
this. Trembling with anticipation their
little bare feet and wee fingers confident?
ly* approached- the plump" inysterioUB
stockings "hang.by the chimney with
care.*' Nor were thoy disappointed, the
patron saint, of school boys and children
had generously and discriminate^ be?
stowed upon each jast what she most de?
sired, and supreme content filled the little
bosoms." N? .rear of their taking cold this
lnor'nieg. Excitemcut would have for.
them the effect, that pride often has for
children of a larger growth.
After a joyful half hour had been spent
in the contemplation of their treasures,
the latter were carefully replaced in the
traditional repository and conveyed to bed
with their happy owners, for further and
closer inspection. No more sleep for
Gertrude, and Minnie, but a long series of
talks, interspersed with numerous chuck
lings and violent commotions of bed?
clothes, 'as housekeeping, with' the"new
dinner set and dolls was .immediately in?
stituted. They did not suspect, that when
in the sitting room, they were silently
looked in upon by two or .three of Santa
Clans' agents?mama, aunt Margaret and
big sister Jennie, who longed to witness
the sweet faith, of the little innocents.
After a while the household was astir
and halls and bed-room doors echoed to
"Merry Christmas" greeting* Santa,
the- borintiful, had visited every room,
Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose, aunt Margaret,
Jennie, Grandfather, even Bridget and
black.Lilly were appropriately remem?
bered.
The cheerful breakfast room was filled
with the .pleasant fragrance of flowers,
joyous salutations, and exclamations of
pleasure and surprise, as each displayed a
gift, secretly wished for, now unexpected?
ly possessed. O, marvellous Santa ! many
thine eyes and large thy heart!
" Christmas comes but once a year"
sagely announced Mr. Ambrose, and each
seemed bent on making the most of the
allowance. Was ever a happier family
circle, or pleasanter breakfast, sparkling
with merriment and lively sallies, want?
ing nothing to complete its pleasures.
Nothing! ah, it is not Heaven yet; in
spite of all the blue sky, there was a
cloud. Robert, the. .eldest, and. dearest,
was absent, and absent from choice. Of
late a barrier had formed between father
and son, Years before, when Mr. Am?
brose was a school boy, animosity had
arisen between him and Joseph Suther?
land, prompted by jealousy on one side
and stimulated by pride on- the other. In
college the discord was undimimshed and
when the young men left their Alma Ma?
ter and entered the arena of business life,
Joseph Sutherland carried his opposition
to " A'utHur Ambrose into every affair
where their interests met and Mr. Am?
brose, had never seen fit to make a concili?
atory overture.
Three years before our story opens,
Robert the son of Arthur Ambrose, and
Alice, the only child of Joseph Sutherland
had met "by chance?the usual way"
and* in utter disregard of the hereditary
right they possessed to make each uncom?
fortable, had gone to the other extreme
and* were as anxious to unite their inter?
ests, as their ? respective parents were to
divide theirs.
^Robert would have left father and
mother to cleave only unto her who held
the highest place in his heart, but Alice
gentler nature refused to give pain to the
parent who had lavished upon her the'
whole of his affections, and who, however
rougb and selfish toward others, had ever
been, kind and gentle to her, and sedulous?
ly endeavored to be to his motherless
child in the place of her, so dear to both.
This charge he had admirably fulfilled.
Alice never saw the dark spots of his dis?
position : to her was always turned the
surfhy side. No wonder then, that while
her heart crowned Robert Ambrose as its
king, she was unwilling to grieve him who
had-nntil recently been all the world to
her.'. Three years had passed, and neither
the Ambrose granit?? nor the Sutherland
flint had shown any token ot yielding an
atom. Robert bad grown grave and
care-worn, and still worse, was becoming
irritable. Alice, too, looked pale and un?
happy. She was no longer the light
hearted girl, who dispensed the sunshine
of her father's house. This Christmas
morning had not a very cheerful, not at
all a " merry " aspect to her. Her father
had been summoned away some days be?
fore and she could not tell when he would
be again at home. The three old domes?
tics had wished her respectfully a " Merry
Christmas," she had presented them sun?
dry suitable gifts, and laid away carefully
the dressing gown and embroidered slip?
pers that were to please her father when
he should return.
On any other day she would not have
been; so lohely, but this bright beautiful
morning with its joyous associations,
ought to be received, Alice thought, in
a different frame from that in which she
found herself If her father had been at
home, it would be very different, but he
was not, and try as she would, her usual
self control was not at her command.
Very unlike her solitary meal to, the
lively party at Mr. Ambrose's. There not
only the members of the family and all the
household partook of the festivities of the
day, but others, less blessed in temporal
matters were bidden to their Christmas
cheer. Several baskets of provisions and
half a dozen parcels of clothing changed
owners that morrjing, as black Lilly's
somewhat tired arms and two pairs of
chubby cheeka made rosier by the frosty
air can testify. Scarcely were these de?
lightful expectations to the neighboring
cottages concluded when the large sleigh
was driven up to carry all off to church.
Joyously pealed the bells, louder and
clearer as they, neared the town. The
streets were-thronged, with worshippers
of Him, whose great gift more than eigh?
teen hundred years ago has made all
Christmas tokens doubly precious.
To the happy sleighful never had the
day appeared so lovely and yet so sacred. I
The church, when they had entered its]
portal had never looked so beautifully dec
orated. Surely the good pastor had nev?
er preached s>o eloquently before. His
discourse seemed overflowing, with the*
8piritofthe loVe that ?it'thi? day gaveH
peace to earth, and never, never had the
chorus c* Glory to God in the Highest '
seemed so; full and -complete, or.???the solo, l
"on earth peace, good will to men " fallen [
so distinctly upon the ear and lingered in
the heart as on this occasion. " Why was
it-all? -?
As the party were about to drive ?flu
Alice Sutherland, standing on the church
steps appealed strongly with her pale face
and wistful eyes, to Mrs. Ambrose moth
erly heart. She had: never'shared her
husband's objection to the child of Joseph
Sutherland, and now she said,
" We must take Alice home with us,
poor child! Come girls, sit up close; Ger?
trude, your aunt Margaret wants you on
her lap. Alice, Alice Sutherland, we are
going to carry you off to Christmas at our
house, jump in here, beside me." Alice
was easily taken captive. The lonely
house at home, and the contrasting thought
of the joyous family party at the Ambrose
homestead, passed quickly through her
mind, so with a heightened color and
brighter eye, she gladly suffered herself
to be helped in by Mr. Ambrose, who was
too well bred to allow any discourtesy to
a guest of his wife's.
Lively conversation mingled with the
merry jingling of sleigh bells and Alice's
spirit began to rise. Arrived at her des?
tination it would have been impossible to
resist the kind attention and delicate sym?
pathies of all the feminine portion of the
household. She felt more like the Alice
of olden time. Mr. Ambrose seemed
touched?his heart was so very tender to?
day?by the bright sweetness of the, girl,
and he several times found himself think?
ing u how like Alice is to her mother, and
how unlike her father." He did not know
that he blamed Robert so very much, af
ter all, but then she was Joseph Suther?
land's child, notwithstanding her blonde
complexion and winning manner?so gran?
ite was itself again.
Alice's father had been detained longer
than he expected. To the serious illness
had,succeeded death, and Mr. Sutherland's
presence had been required to arrange
many matters, and to comfort the bereav?
ed ones, so that it was not until the morn?
ing of Christinas Day that he was at lib?
erty to start homeward.
At first, his thoughts were upon the sad
scenes he had left, and from the affection
he felt for this favorite brother and his
family, his feelings were unusually tender.
As he drew near home, his thoughts turned
thitherward, and entered fondly upon his
beloved Alice. He recalled the few, but
oh ! such happy years, he had spent with
her mother, ere he had been called upon
to pass through the same sortow that was
now crushing the heart of the widow he
had parted from that morning. Alice I
looked very like the one whose name she
bore, but not so fresh or gladsome, and,
for the first time, the father was willing to
acknowledge to himself that he was the
cause of the alteration in his child. He
had often been angry with her for hot ob?
stinacy, as he was pleased to term it, but
never before had he blamed himself. Now
his heart was subdued by the softening
touch of grief.
He thought it must be trying to those so
recently afflicted, to witness the festivities
of this joyous festival, and 6ee all around
them so gay, while they were in the first
throes of anguish ; and then he thought, as
he was not wont to think, of Him who came
on this day to bring "peace on earth,"
and then he tried to recall the rest of the
words sung by the angels on Bethlehem
plain, until finally ? the whole sentence
came to Iiis recollection. " Good" will to
men "?he had never thought-of it before,
but now. it was in his mind and he could
dwell upon nothing else. As the .train
stopped at one' of the -principal stations,
the chimes of a large churchicould.beheard
Sealing forth Christmas music, and Mr.
utherland, for the first time in ati life,
desired tflfjetfter a church. ? He frequently
attended service in his own village, but
only from~habit,-hever because he cared
for any benefit he might possibly receive.
This morning, his.thoughts were less upon
the festivities in accordance with the occa?
sion, than upon the higher object of the
day?upon the "peace on earth." "Peace,"
"good will," seemed no dead, letters to him
now.
On sped the train, Iiis longing to stop
for church ungratified. Alice again was
in his thoughts. What was she doing, all
alone all day? for he would not reach
home until night. She must be very lone?
ly !- Nobody to wish her "Merry Christ?
mas," excepting the domestics. A lonely
Christmas dinner; not even a present?
the first time she. had ever missed that;
but owing to his absence it had been neg?
lected this year. Not even, a letter, for,
thinking to reach home, he had not writ?
ten. Poor, pah Alice 1 it was too bad, it
was all wrong. She ought never to be left
so. What' was he thinking of, to leave her
all alone? But what else could he do?
His brother was sick, and his presence was
not only consoling, but imperative. But
then, Alice?ah, yes! Alice ought to have
some one besides her father to guard her
from such experiences as she was undergo?
ing to day. She ought to have little, bird?
like voices wishing her "Merry Christ?
mas." She ought to have rosy cheeks and
happy eyes. And why had'nt she ? Then
his brow contracted. If she had not been
so silly and obstinate as to like Robert
Ambrose, the son of his enemy!?but what
was tbat-about "peace," aud. "good will"?
And wasn't .there Something,... too, about
"loving enemies"? Love his enemy ! How
could he? Love the man, who had always
crossed his path triumphantly ! But Alice
was not his enemy; should he be magnan?
imous enough to give her to old Ambrose's
son?old Ambrose, who?but when Mr.
Sutherland thought the matter all over,
he could not tell, after all, what Mr. Am?
brose had done, excepting to be more for?
tunate und'successfid-than himself, al ways,
from ? boy up.' That used to seem enough,
but to day, somehow, things seemed differ?
ent from ever before. He began to won
ce*r-ifr.he'Jiad been at fault?he began .to
wonder if he had ever been good to Alice.
Save in one matter, his conscience acquit?
ted him oi) that point. On the other, he^
leit something -like shame; but that was af
ne\v sensation to'him, and after'a little He
fell asleep, tired of his thoughts, and wea?
ry, too, from the watchings and solicitude
of the ?ick;cpnTber he had.icft.;^ " ?
The afternoon /was.svaning,. and, some?
what wearied by very1 -pleasure^ fche Am?
brose family clustered around the open fire
place for quiet chat. Gertrude and Minnie
held their dolls very closely, and Aunt
Margaret tossed her baby boy and gave
him laugh for laugh.
"King Sol," observed Jennie, "has near?
ly completed his daily round, but he seems
loth to .cause a shadow to fall upon the
day he has done so much to make radiant."
"Yes," replied Alice, "and therefore he
is lavishing his royal store of purple and
of gold on sky and mountain, ere lie grad?
ually disappears."
"And," 6aid Mrs. Ambrose, "he will
soon be sending some brilliant billet doux
to console us lor his absence and assure us
that if his face is withdrawn, his thoughts
are still with us."
"What does mamma mean ?" whispered
Gertrude W> her father.
"Look out the window, up at the sky,"
he answered, "and perhaps vou will see
one."
The children rushed to the window to
search the sky for billet dbux? and in a fe w
moments exclaimed, "0,1 know ! I know!
mamma means the stars. There are three;
and now there are four. But how does
the sun send them, papa? I did not know
the sun had any thing to do with the
starSi"
Mr. Ambrose always answered his chil?
dren's questions, unless they were beyond
him, as children's questions are sometimes
beyond the ken of human mind; so he
mounted one on eaoh knee and proceeded
to give Gertrude and Minnie an elementary
lesson in astronomy. When he had finish?
ed, he told his little audience that he could
not instruct them gratis, and should claim,
as payment, the song, "Star of Wonder,"
which debt thc-youthful voices promptly
and harmoniously discharged. This im?
portant matter disposed of, Jennie seated
herself at the'piano, and soon all voices
joined in-glad caiols and Christmas an?
thems.
The sun had quite gone now; dusk was
stealing closer and oloserj but the singers
sang on> by the quivering light of the
wood fire. Thus an hour passed, and
Alice and Jennie commenced the duet of
Dr. Mulenbcrg's beautiful carol. As their
sweet voices joined in the stanzas,
"Discord sure must cease?
Who dare hate his brother
On this day of pence.
While the heavens are telling
To mankind good will,
Only love and kindness
? Should each bosom fill.0
Mr. Ambrose felt as if he were a guilty
man, to have lived so many Christmas
Days cherishing a bitter feeling against
any creatute. In. the frame of mind in
which be was no w, at once soothed and
elevated, anger or any low passion seemed
so insignificant, 60:much of earth, earthy,
that he wondered how he could have al?
lowed himself to bf; so influenced.
He was so absorbed in his self condem?
nation that he did not hear the remainder
of the music, nor the door open. He saw,
however, two gentlemen advanced to?
ward the firelight, and recognized his son
"Robert. His greeting of surprise and
pleasure attracted the singers, and in a
moment Alice sprang to embrace the se?
cond visitor, who was none other than
Joseph Sutherland. Mr. Ambrose's first
feeling was that of displeasure, so little do
we know ourselves, but when Mr. Suther?
land said, less elegantly than sincerely,
"Ambrose, I am a fool, and have been
all niy life,! but-I Have been thinking about
this thing all .day, and I wish you would
agree with me to let by-gories be by gones."
Mr. Ambrose grasped his hand aud mur?
mured, "who dare hate his brother on this
day of peace," Mr. Sutherland caught
the last word,: and with a firm grasp of
Mr. Ambrose hand renamed, ul thought
if you were willing we would do this mat?
ter up square. So I called on this young
fellow and brought him along with me,
and we will make it up to Alice this way,
in place of the present she was to have had
from her old lather this morning. Alice,
poor girl!" and his voice grew very ten?
der, "I have not been as good a father to
you as I thought all along I was, but you
shall be happy yet."
Alice, now more resembling a carnation
than a lily, amazement predominating in
her mind, still clung to her father's arm,
until Mr. Ambrose took her hand, saying
with his accustomed ease,
"Miss Alice, your father and I have ex
changed places to day. He has bought
my son Kobert to his home once more,
and I consider it my privilege to 4 give
away the bride.'" .
A gener?.l laugh followed this little sal?
ly, during which Kobert advanced to claim
bis Christmas gift.. It was difficult to tell
which of the two faces looked happier?
Robert's with its great gladness, or Alice's
in its complete restfulness. Still more dif?
ficult was it to distinguish the words they
spoke as they talked together in the farth?
est corner of the room. Jndeed, it seemed
hardly fair to try to listen, especially as
the burden of that "old, old story" is a
household word to most of us.
Jennie and Gertrude had left the room
for lights, but soon returned and ahnoun
oed supper which all must immediately
attend, in order to be in readiness for the
annual and indispensable Christmas games
The awkwardness, which, now that he had
made his introductory and conciliatory
speech, was creeping over Mr. Sutherland,
was thus dissipated and good feeling rap
idlv gained ground that evening.
Mr. Sutherland quite won the hearts of
the juveniles by his agility at blind man's
buff, and Mr. Ambrose was amazed that
he had never before seen Joseph Suther?
land's good points.
Before separating, aunt Margaret said
to Jennie?"we will have the Gloria for a
good night," and every voice lingered on
the words "peace on earth, good will to
man."
