.ac: MISOELLAMT Our Willi?. BX HENEY Tiamon. 'Twas morry Christmas when he came. Oar little hoy beneath the sod; Ami brighter burned tho Christin: .. dame. And merrierspod the Christmas game. Because within the house there lay A shape as tiny as a fay The Christmas gift of Cod! In wreaths and garlands on the walle Tho holly hung its ruby balls, Tho mislctoe its pearls; And a Christmas tree's fantastic fruits Woke laughter like a choir of Ilutes From happy boys and girls. Fortlie mirth, which else bad swelled as sh: ill As a school ba loose to its errant will, Was softened by tin- thought. That in a dim hushed room above, A mother's pains in a mother's love Wen: only just forgot. The jest, the tile, the toast, the glee, All took a sober tone; Wo spokc.of tho babe up-stairs as wc Held festival for him alone. When the bells rang in tho Christmas morn, It scarcely seemed a sin to say That they rang because thc babe was born, Not less than for tho saciad day. Ahl Christ forgive us for the crime. Which drowned tin- memories of thc time In a merely mortal bliss! We owned the error, when the mirth Of another Christmas lit the hearth Of every home but this When, in that lonely burial-ground, With every Christmas sight and sound Removed or shunned', we kept A mournful Christmas bv the mound Where little Willie" slept! Ah, hapless mother! darling wife! I might say nothing more, And the dull cold world would hold The story of that precious life As amply told! Shall wc-shall you and I-before That world's unsympathetic eyes Lay other relics from our shire Of lender memories? What c-.uld it know of tin: joy and love That throbbed ami smiled and wept above An unresponsive thing? And who could share the ecstatic thrill With which we watched the up-turned bill Of our bird tit its living spring? Shall wo tel! how, in thc times gone by. Beneath all changes of the sky, And in an ordinary home, Amid the city's din, Rifo was to us a crystal dome, " Our babe the liarme therein? Ah! this were jargon on the mart: And though some gentle friend. And many and many a suffering heart Would weep and comprehend, Vet even those might fail to see What we saw daily in thc child - Not thu merci creature undefiled, lint the winged cherub soon to be, That wandering hand which seemed to reach At angels finger-tips, And that murmur like a mystic speech Upon the rosy lips, That something in the serious face Holier than even its infant grace, And that rapt gaze on empty space, Which made us, half believing, say, "Ah, little wide-eyed seer, who knows "But that for you this chamber glows With stately shapes and solemn shows?" Which touched us, too, with vague alarms, la st in the circle of our arms We held a being loss akin To his parents in a world of sin Than to beings not of clay; How could we speak in human phrase Of such scarce earthly traits and ways. What would not seem A doting dream, In thc creed of those sordid days; No, let us keep, Deep, dee j), In sorrowing heart and aching brain, This story hidden with the pain, Which, since that blue October night When Willie vanished from our sight, Must haunt us ? ven in our sle< p. In thc gloom of tiie chamber where ho died, And by that grave which, through our care, From Yule to Yule of every year, ls mado like spring to bloom; And where, at times, wo catch the sigh As of an angel floating nigh, Who longs but has not power to tell That in that violet-shrouded cell Lies nothing better than the shell Which he had cast aside; By that sweet grave-in that dark room, We may weave at will for each other's ear, Ofthat life, and that hive, and that early doom, Thc tale which is shadowed here; To us alone it will always bc As fresh as our own misery; But enough, alas! for thc world is said, in the brief "Here licth" of the dead. THE GUFF BAU* "You delightful creature," said Emily Graham, looking up into tho manly face of a young officer of her Majesty's -th regiment, who .stood beside her; "it is the kindest thing that you have done for a long while, and I'll show my gratitude forever and ever." "I hope you will, Emily, and thou 1 shall be amply repaid." "You are quizzing THC, Frank, and that is dreadfully unkind. But what girls arc to be asked?" "Almost everybody; that is, every available young lady who is good tempered, and pleasant and cheerful, arni a few, for thc sake of peace, who are neither." "To which circumstance do I owe my invitation?" said Emily, pretend? ing to look piqued, but smiling archly the while. "The last, of course; I thought we should never have done quarreling had you been left out. Ho, Cousin Emily, though you arc neither pretty, good tempered, cheerful nor agree? able, I have brought you this card." And Frank Graham laughingly laid a little scented pieco of pink on his cousin's work table. "And I thank you very much for it," said tho young lady, taking it up and playing with it between her dainty fingers and rosy lips; "for I like dancing as well as anything I can get in this remote, unpolished district, and if you don't think I pos? sess any attractian, it does not follow that all your company will hold tho j samo opinion." A less attractive girl than Emily I Graham might, without vanity, havo j made this speech ; as it was, you could hardly help convicting Cousin Frank ol' a serious want of taste, if his words { were spoken in earnest. The young | girl was rather tall, of a slight.^gruce-1 ful figure, with soft brown hair, clear, ; brown, mischief-looking eyes, ?uni a fair complexion, u trille too pale, : perhaps, save when excitement lent color to her cheeks, and added lustre! to her earnest eyes. But it would have boon unwise to have acted upon the expressed opi- ? nion of Cousin Frank, und to have said to Iiis face a single disparaging word of his pretty cousin; nothing could sooner have enkindled wrath in those manly features, nothing haye brought more hasty words to his courteous tongue. "Good-bye, darling coz," he said, at length, after a long pause had suc? ceeded to her last words; "don't really make me jealous again." "Jealous!" said Emily, archly ac? cepting her vantage ground, "you will surely? not be jealous of me?" Frank colored. "You provoking pet," he said, "I am jealous of any? body else that gets a smile, or a kind word, or look, or touch from you, and a dance means all that and more. I only wish uncle-." '.Hush, Frank! wc had better not talk of it again; a few years is not much, it' I am worth waiting for; let us think about tho dance. Is there any shop in this place where I can buy a ball dress, or must I invent one from my present stock?" "That will do just as well, Emily. We look upon this as a sort of pic-nic ball; you will not be expected to ap? pear in costume lit for Almack's at thc Cliff*. The most we erm expect of the ladies in such a place is, that they will look as much like fairies as possible, and be as good-natured, too. If you have a white muslin, and loop it up in my favorite pink rose-buds, you will look just as pretty as need bo; now, am I not a clever lady's maid? Good-bye, dear, I must be off now." i Emily laid her hand in his. "Do I you think it quite a safe place, bv I the-by?" she asked. "I heard, thc other dav, there was great danger of the Clin-"falling in." "Nonsense, my pet; thousands more will trip upon 'thc light fan? tastic toe' in that strange ball-room before that happens, even if it ever ! vloes happen, and I very much doubt it." "Where is Esther's card, Frank?"' 'Thad quite forgotten it," he an sweied, again drawing out his card ease and opening it. "Give her my best compliments, and say how hap? py we shall bc to see her. 'With you conversing 1 forget all time,' and thc hours roll by like minutes; with every? body else-how many kisses will you give me for the cards?" "None, Frank." "Sly puss, then I must take them, must I? Fifty for each, at least." "Let Esther pay her own debts, " laughed Emily. "Certainly not; I don't go on the trust system, but have ready money j for all my goods." He stooped to claim and receive j the treasured payment, when the ! door suddenly opened, and another i young lady confronted them. "Frank has just brought us our ? cards for the Cliffball," ? aid Emily, I recovering her self-posossion the j sootiest; "here is yours, Esther." "I thought you were gone, Cousin I Frank," said that lady, looking at the i officer with proud, uncousinly eyes. I "What ball is this?" ! "The officers of our regiment are going to give a grand dance in the Cliff Ball Boom tr> those gracious fair ones who will honor us by their pre? sence, and I flatter myself that both j you and Emily will do nie the favor j to accept cards. " "I am not at all sure that papa j would like us to do so, were he at home," said the cider sister, coldly, j "You know as well as I do, for what j reason." "Tapa likes us to enjoy ourselves, j Esther," said Emily; "and it is very ! dull while he is away." j "Of course, Emily, if you choose to go I shall think it my duty to ac ; company you," s;ud the elder sister; j "but, though I am not sufficiently i older than you to Ix* able to control i your actions,"-("I should think j not," muttered Frank, in an under j tone)-"yet I feel this is a rash, un I wise act on your part, and one which ; I cannot approve." Miss Graham walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her, ! to give emphasis to her remarks. "Nov/, then, will you finish your I kissing business?" said -Frank Gra I ham. ^ "I? Frank, for shame!" said Emily, blushing and holding down her pretty head; but in some way it was soon raised again to Frank's shoulder, and, in an ecstacy of de? light, the young man paid himself in soft k isses for his ball tickets. "Don't make me jealous, Emily, darling," ho said again. "I think if ? saw ?mybody else touching these lips I should get wild with anger. Good-bye, my darling." "Good-bye, Frank." "Just one word to show mc that you really love me, Emily." "Good-bye, dear Frank." With a passionate kiss lie pressed her to his heart, and then hastily left the room. He looked up to the win? dow as he passed it, and saw his gen? tle cousin looking out upon him with tho utmost tenderness, soft tears fill? ing her beautiful eyes, and tears for him. Before they could bc dried, Esther re-entered; her presence and voice grated upon her younger sister, they were so utterly unsympathetic with her mood. "What! tears, Emily? what a fool? ish girl you are, to waste your love and j our lifo on a penniless oilicer, ??ul when pupa so disapproves of your doing BO. " .'My heart is my own, not papa's; though I will not willingly offend liini, he must not try to make me marry anybody else, because he likes," said Emily, earnestly, and she deft the room. lu the welcome solitude of her own chamber, she thought of her sister's words -"waste your love and your lifo. " Was it ever owned by a woman truly in love that her heart was wasted? Does she not rather feel that all she has is his, that the grand capacity to love has been called into being by him, that only in not ful? filling her heart's yearning could she waste her love or life? It was a strange place that the officers of the -th regiment had fixed upon for their entertainment to their young lady friends. On the coast line of old England, where tho broad Atlantic dashes its proud waves against thc shore, lies a small fishing village; and further down, a bold, sharp cliff raises its giant front, and facing it, standing in the water itself at high tide, is an enormous roch, hewn out in the centre, as if by herculean hands, and up the opening roll the foaming waves, and through it, like a picture in a ponderous frame, the ships are seen, their sails full set, steering their course along the track? less leep. For many years, interested visitors have come to walk along the lint- ol' beach to watch the rolling of thc mighty billows, to look upon the j demon rock, and, from all the large j towns in the neighborhood, pic-nie parties have come and descended that j tall cliff to mingle gay laughter, merry songs and cheerful voices, like softest treble, with the deep bass of tl iii waves. T!ie side of the cliff has been hewn out by the. ingenious hands of man, ? and a house of entertainment formed in it, in whose rooms mirth and music have striven for mastery, and light feet have tripped gaily and thoughtlessly, beneath and between slowly vet surely crumbling walls. Hero*, on the 16th of April, IS-, the young oificers were busy prepar? ing the somewhat dingy ball-room for their expected guests. With difficul? ty loads of evergreens and flowers had been brought down the steep descent, and gay flags and banners draped the bare, rocky walls and fes? tooned the musicians' platform. Mine hostess and her daughters were busy all day long preparing for the sump? tuous banquet; and over the supper room hung the Union Jack and old England's standard, as if to insure thoughts of stability and glory. The steep steps in thc cliff" were carpeted with scarlet cloth and arched with evergreens; a transformation was ac? complished upon which the artists might well gaze with pride and self gratulatiou. "And when fair Luna shines over ? the sea to-morrow night in full spien- i dor, just as tl ie dear girls arrive," | said one sentimental lieutenant, "I am sure they will be delighted, and the novelty will more than compen? sate for any little extra trouble they may incur." "1 think you ave right, Oswald," said an old offioer, from whose heart, though time had effaced much of the outward expression of romance, could never be torn away its original love of the marvelous and mysterious. "ft is a strange, tumble-down (dd place, true enough; but with the Demon Kock bathed in moonlight, the ocean glittering and shining as if I encrusted with jewels, the old cl i fi", black and ruinous as an ancient bat- j tleruent. and underneath the fairy grotto we have devised for their light feet to dance in, woman must have bid good-bj'e to womanhood if she is not charmed." Meanwhile, young girls were busy with their toilet; and arranging with comical perplexity for that long de? scent in the cool spring evening that must intervene between the carriages and the ball-room. Cloaks and hoods must be worn, and dainty feet en? cased iu some moredurable substance j than satin or kid; yet all these : thoughts only lent zest to their anti? cipated enjoyment, and the days How merrily by. Esther Graham alone complained grievously of tho inconvenience of the place, till poor Emily, in a fit of annoyance, begged her to stay at home, and she would find another chaperon; but this was not Miss Gra? ham's desire. Like many other good women, she loved to regard herself as a martyr to the wishes and caprices of othors, and now that the glass told her that young oificers would rarely invite her for her own sake, she was the more inclined to be displeased with thc sister, on whoso account she made such sacrifices to health and comfort.
