J?ISOELLAKTY Watching for ra. Three little- forms in twilight gay, Scanning tho shadows across tho way; Six littlo eyes, four black and two blue, Brimful of love and happiness, too. Watching for pa. Mav, with her placid and thoughtful brow, Gentle face beaming with smiles just now; Willie, the rogue, so loving and gay, Stealing sly kisses from sister May, * Watching for pa. Nellie, with ringlets: of sunny hue, Cosily nestled between tho two, Pressing her cheek to the window pane. Wishing tho absent one home again ' Watching for pa. 0, how thev gaze at the passers-by! "He's coming at last,"' they gaily cry; "Trv again, my pets," exclaims mammy, And"Nellie adds, "There's the twilight star Watching for pa." Jack nods and smiles, as with busy feet He lights the lamps of their quiet street: That sweet little group ho knows full well, May, and Willie, and golden-haired Nell, Watching for pa. Soon joyous shouts from tho v,indr>w seat, And cager patter of childish feet; Gay musical chimes ring through the 'nail, A manly voice responded to the' call '"Welcome, papa." SNOWED U*\ "Banks! Banks! Where has tho fell JW gone to?'" cried Smith Butler's thin, peevish voice from the depths of his luxurious arm-chair. "1 did not seo him go down the garden. Where has he put himself, ch?" "I'm sure I don't know sir," answered the foot? man, looking out of tho study win? dow with a great show of earnest? ness. "I turned him away, and didn't take no more particular notice of him." "Then why did you not take particular notice of him, Banks?" said his master, snappishly. "You ought to have taken particular notice of him. What do I havo you for but to take particular notice of things? A pretty thing, indeed, that j you think you may do just as youl like, and take notice or not as it suits you. I shall soon have to pay another servant to do your work, and take notice for you, if this kind of carelessness is to go on." Hore Banks gave an almost imperceptible emile. "I beg you will go round and see if that man is gone. L do not like ill-looking tramps prowling about thc premises, especially just at thc time when Carlo has been found dead so mysteriously. G-o, I tell yoti -don't you hear?-and see at once." "Yes, sir," replied Banks, respect? fully enough as to outside manner never mind his thoughts andyo?celess words; and he left tho room, calmly indifferent to the shrill cries calling him back to give him a thousand j minute instructions as what he was ? to do and where he was to go, until obliged to return by tho violent ring? ing of the bell, when he was rated for ten minutes "without a pause. And then it was of no usc to look after the ill-looking tramp who had disturbed Smith Butler's nerves. The worst-tempered, most selfish, peevish, irritable man in the world was this sanlei nith lintier, of Gully stone. Humored and spoilt as an only child, suffered to tyrannize and domineer as a husband, always absolute, always selfish, he . was one of those men who recognizetio rights sav?'their own, and who makes of their own wishes and desires tho sole laws regulating their lives. He was in poor health, being of the miserable race ot tho dyspeptic, which tended to render him more irritable; and bis fortune had been suddenly doubled by a lucky investment, which tended to render him more arbitrary. Per? haps there could not have been found anywhere a more unpleasant com? panion or a more tyrannical master than Smith Butler, of Gullystone, or one less respected and less beloved. His poor afflicted wife had lun n dead some years now, and had fortunately left no children to bear the weight ol' his ill-temper in her stead; but ho hud au orphan niece, Cany Wins? ton, his wife's brother's child, who lived with him, and was. tho solo relation or legal connection he had. She was. dependent on him, too, which made the bond between them tho- stricter, if not the. pleasanter; I for, having no money (d' her own, (her father had died insolvent,) ?md Smith Butler designing to make loo his heiress if she pleased him, he claimed to have absolute right over her--soul, mind and life lo ibu sub? ject to him without reserve. Garry thought differently, and struggled gallantly against her commandant; but Smith Butler had the reins, rid? ing with a martingale, which rendered kicking difficult, and the girl's inde? pendent spirit went for little in the contest forever going on between them. One other person shared in Carry's instinct of revolt; this was Walter Lochmore, tue sun ol' Carry's father's nearest friend, ?md now con? tinuing ibo family tradition by being the nearest friend (d' Carry herself. But unfortunately for the girl, Walter was specially obnoxious to Smith Butler, partly on account of a bad habit he had.of speaking his mind, and being difficult to put down by the mere force of assertion; and partly because having but small means ami moderate prospects, lie had dared to raise Iiis eyes to Carry, with aspirations more presumptuous than fraternal. And her uncle would not have overlooked this kind of thing even in a lord, without pi r mission first demanded of him? self; so that, in a mero nobody like Walter Lochmore, unauthorized love-making was a sin past forgiveness. Wherefore the hand? some, dushin_;, good-tempered en .< * gineer met with but scant welcome, at j Gallyslone, save from Carry. Bat > what ko met with from her, on the | r*rc occasions when he ventured to j appear, made up for all the rest. lt was in thc wintertime when this vision of an ill-looking tramp prowl iug about thc house shook Mr. But? ler's nerves, never case-proof against such assaults. Indeed, it was Christ? mas eve; aud Carry knew, if her uncle did not, that Walter Lochmore would surely have pressing business in thc neighborhood of Gullystouo before the day was ont, oven though it was now snowing fast, with the prospect of worse weather to come in tho leaden sky. And soon, indeed, she saw him from her bed-room win? dow, where she had been watching all thc day, como rifling along thc road, uot with the Lard and heavy I pace usual to him, but slowly aud cautiously, his marc tottering and I limping, hardly aldo to do her work. ; She had fallon with him, and had i hurt herself so badly, that it had been a matter of anxious calculation j with him whether he could reach ; Gullystone at nil to-day. However, doubts wore at an cud now: for hore \ ho was in sight of tho gates, and ! that bright mass of violet in the i centre window waving a small white ! flag, which he knew to bc Carry wav j ing her handkerchief; and soou both ! man and marc stood beforo the hall j door, and thc haven of 1ovo and rest was wou. "Who's that?" cried Smith Butler, when he heard thc peal of thc door-bell and thc clatter and clang that followed. "Mr. Walter Lechmerc, sir," replied the ubi?pat? ons and ever-civil Banks, making no sign of conciousness that bc was handing his master a bitter pill for his Christmas digestion. Mr. Smith Butler swore-ho often swore-and muttering, "I'll soon send thc young dog packing!" went straight into tin drawing-room, where ho found Wal? ter and Carry Whiston standing in demure propriety on thc hearth-rug -young oars being sharp, and he having a reasonant cough, alway.' worse when ho was annoyed. "So. Mr. Lechmerc," he said, as he enter? ed, "to what may 1 owe thc honoi of this visit, eh?" "Well, sir, I was iu the neighborhood, aird I could nol resist thc temptation of riding ova to sec my old friends," ausweret Walter cheerfully. "All very well sir, for you," returned Mr. Butler "but perhaps it would have beer more becoming if you had reflecte, whether tho 'temptation/ was our: or not." "At Christmas time even one is welcome," said Walten-. "Oh indeed, sir!-that is your opinion, i; it? I bog leave to differ from you Mr. Lochmore ; uot even at Christ? mas timo is every one welcome a Gullystone.'' "I am very sorry, sir, said Walter, "but ? fear I must tres pass a little on your hospitality, fo my marc has fallen with mc to-day and is so badly hurt I canuot rid? her back to tho station. 1 an ashamed to say it." ho added, tossiuj off his bright brown hair and suiilin; frankly, "but 1 fear it must bc tba you either lend nie a horse (and lu glanced at thc blinding snow) or givi mc shelter trll I can usc my own.' "Lend you a horse, sir!" quivercc Smith Butler, angrily- -"send one o my valuable horses out with you m such a day as this! Arc you mad Mr. Lechmerc? Do you know wha my stables cost me? Do you kno\ what my horses are worth at Tat tersall's? Had you not better ask m for my servants, and my carriage and my plate, and my banker's book and all that 1 have at once?" Her he stopped, ont of breath, and cough ing loudly. "Then I am afraid Mr. Locbraer must stay herc, uncle," said Carry with a litre show of uot particular! caring which way it went. "It i twelve miles to Hie station; bis ow horse cannot go, and you will n< lend him one of yours -of course; s wlrat can be done'.-' lt is such a tr. niendous day, too; ho would vcr likely be lost in thc snow if even li attempted the walk; and it wonl not be very pleasant to have that sai of us." ..Stuff and nonsense!" sai Mr. Butler, tartly. "Lost ki th snow, forsooth! is he a baby, or ai wo living on thc Alps'-'" and ho wei to tho window to look out. Bi oven he could not deny thc terribh ness of the dav. lt wa ; not mere! a heavy fall of snow, but a stori and tempest of snow, willi a win that howled like a hungry wolf, an sharp Hying showers of icc that eu and bruised, and stung, as i f lb. had been flying fragments ol' iroi It was a day on which for tho sake < his private pride and public reput even thc owner of Gullystone cou! not refuse sheller to a decent! dressed enemy ; though, had it bec a shade less st vere, he would ha" turned him oirt to fight bis w: through it as he best could, withoi ;i moment's hesitation or rem ors "lt may clear up," lie then said, sn lenly. "It is nailer bad now "And if it does uot, you must mal up your mind to --lay herc qnietl Mr. Lechmerc," chimed in Carr rather quickly, as she bent her ha over her embroidery. " thank yo Miss Winston." was Mr. Waltei reply to this. ..! am sorry to troub you, but I confess I do not sit- he it can be very well helped." The without drawing breath, lie plungt oil' into a long ac..omit id' a Spanii railroad forwhich he was negotiatin (to bc thc chief engineer thercc that means,) till Smith Butler gn so irritable at tho sound of biscbee voice that he could really bear it i longer; so, with an audible explcti of n peevish rather than an excessivo kind, he turned his back on the pair, and left the room in a pet. It was always a trial to him when fate and circumstance overmastered his will; and in tho sacred depths of his own sanctum he growled and fretted him? self into a small fever, while the young people, unmolested, went straightway up to Heaven in the drawing-room. A bright-faced, bright-eyed, sweet tempered girl was Carry Winston. She was engaged to Walter without her uncle's knowledge, and distinctly against his wishes; and her lover knew full well that no intimidation, no persuasion, no cajolery, wonld ; make her unfaithful, or cause her to I swerve a hair's breadth from her pro j mise. "I do not know what would i become of me, Carry, if I could not ; trust you," said Walter, a little sadly, ! while they were sitting together after i Mr. lintier had left them. "You ?know you may trust me, Walter." answered Carry, fondly. "Uncle j wants mo to marry poor George Grey, but 1 don't think you need fear him as a very formidable rival," and she laughed. "Well, I d< n't think I need," said Walter. "Lot I me see, how tall is ho, Carry? up to j your shoulder?" "About," she said. ?laughing again; "at all events, not 1 up to "ty heart, Mr. Walter." Which was such a pretty conceit that Walter helped himself to a double allowance of a certain form of small chango cur I rent between them, to which ho was not wholly unaccustomed, nor she obnoxious. "He was to have come here to-day," Carry then went on to say, when that little interlude was concluded. "Uncle asked him to come over and spend Christmas with us; but it is such a terrible day-and, fortunately for us, he is such a poor creature-that I don't think he will come." As she spoke, however, George Grey's handsome, well-ap? pointed carriage drove slowly up to the door. Not a bad fellow was this same George Grey, of Grey's Court; simply contemptible, judged by tho woman's instinctive standard of what is admi? rable and fitting in a man. Small, weak, effeminate, without the physi? cal strength or robuster moral finali? ties of his sex, and cowardly, nervous, conscientious and good-natured, ir? resolute and utterly unable to "stand up" for himself, no matter what the provocation; by no means good looking,- so that he had not even the small prettiness sometimes seen in unmanly and insignificanl men, tc compensate never so.meagrely foi his want of power-he had absolute nothing to recommend him to a wo? man's favor save his fortune, and thc certainty of being mistress should ??lu consent to be his wife. As for love, that was impossible with most, cer? tainly quite impossible with such r girl as (.'airy Winston, too health} and nat ural herself to be very tole? rant of anything at all abnormal ^ otlnrs. Aud, indee,], the foelim. with which George ('?rey inspirei her wasaphysieal shrinking-a loath ing of tho flesh-but for all that. h. persevered in.his visits and his suit He was desperately in love wit! Carry, poor fellow; and in spile o his constitutional timidity, breaste? lu-r displeasure, defended as he wa: by thc tegis of so powerful a protect C^r as Smith Butler, who had pro miscd him her hand by next spring This was tlc first time the two aspi rants had stood face to face; am surely even Smith Butler could not in his heart, blame tito choice whicl Carry had made. George Grey -nu fluite live feet four, with a weakl; knit frame-had but little chance ii .a comparison with Walter Lochmore six feet without his hoots, strong clean-limbed and muscular-a first rate fenec?-, a first-rate boxer, a capi tal shot, si good oarsman, a darin, horseman -well up, indeed, in ever manly exercise, ami holding hig] rank in every manly sport; while, a for beauty, how could that mottlei face be spoken of in thc same da, .viih Walter's handsome face an manly frame? Cany had not a siugl inducement to forsake lu i- own lov and taite up with her uncle's, savi indeed, that one sole birt; of money which was no hire to her. Very uneasy and abashed was poo George Grey, when ho heard the nam of that formidable-looking gr..- i wh had preceded him. ami whom he f< mn so comfortably established in th drawing-room, holding silks, whil Cany wound them ol? his hand? But Smith Butler told him fretful! "not to mind;" how could he expci to succeed if ho was always so (e? pit-lively i afraid? Must not ever man run thc ri*d; of rivals? Win did be want more? What, the dem cou'dhe want more1? Had he not hin Smith Butler, at his back; did li want a regiment of uncles to mal; sure of a silly girl, bound to obey li will? St> he argued, from his luxt lions arm-chair, ami George (?iv; who was quite ass much afraid of h champion as lie was grateful to bin was fain to hold his peace, poor litt' man, and to pretend the sen mt v 1 did not feel. So the hit( moon wot away, the storm ever deepening, an the wind howling with increased fur as the evening came on; til!, whi they were at dinner, it seemed as there must, be some terrible catastr? phe, so wild and fierce and unco: trolled OS it was. lt male bot Smith Butler and Georgt! (?rey tut quite pale and nervous, it blew s fiercely; but Carry and Walter on laughed, as at their best friend; am who knows? it might continue eve over to-morrow, and Walter be bouii iu his pleasant prison for another twenty-four hours. "A foolish trick that of yours, Mr. Lochmore!*' said Mr. Butler, suddenly, and with much ill-temper; he had been thinking the same as Carry and Walter, and chaf? ing at thc prospect of bis enforced hospitality, and this most untoward rivalship. "I have always heard you boast of your horsemanship; not very j like a good band, to throw your mare ' and injure her, ns it seems you have ; done, most seriously-seriously. Day \ said, did he not, Hanks?" "Yes, sir," i said Banks, iu bis official voice. I was riding down hill, and she stepped I on a loose stone," returned Walter, i "Thc ground was as hard as iron, you j know, sir, and as slippery as glass." | "And jf course you were riding at a break-neck pace!" sneered thc host. "Well, I confess I was going a little too hurd for prudence." answered . Walter, throwing his bair from, off his for. bead. "Did you meet a tramp not far from herc?"' presently asked Smith Butler. "No, sir. I did not," Walter answered. "1 met only three mon on j roy way from the station -only three in all the twelve miles; and they were by no means a pleasant-looking triad, j I should say. But they wore not in ? my way, so 1 did not trouble myself ; much about them." "Three tramps; did you say? Bless my soul! that makes four in one day! and Carle is just dead!" cried Mr. Butler, un? easily. "Carlo dead! Poor old fel? low! I did not know that. When, did ho die? and what did bo die of?" j asked Walter. "Why, Caroline, did j you not tell Mr. Lechmero that Carlo j was dead?" exclaimed Mr. Butler, j peevishly. "Bloss my soul, what were you thinking of, to bo so remiss as not to tell him that remarkable ; fact?" "Ho was fourni dead in his kennel this morning," said Carry. "He was quite well yesterday, and 1 ; hoard him bark very much in thc ! night, and this morning he was j dead!'' "Dear mo, how very extra? ordinary!" simpered George (?rey.; "Most extraordinary," said Mr. But-! 1er, with emphasis. "I believe he 1 was poisoned, yon know: and to-day comes a tramp about the place who j must have vanished into snow. 1 ' think, for no ono saw him go down1 the gardon, and you did not meet him, you say. Mr. Lechmero; so where the deuce the fellow got to F cannot for tho lifo nf mo imagine." "Ob! he bas bidden himself in thc: hay Toft for shelter, " laughed Walter, j not particularly interested in thc sub? ject. "Oh! bas he?" said Mr. But? ler, grimly. '.Banks, tell Day to search tho bay-loft this moment, and ; como and tell mc if any ono is hid? den there or not. Better for lum not. to bo; that is all I c. n say!" "Yes, ? sir," said Banks, and went into thc kitchen, where, he and Day (Day was j coachman i bad a good laugh at | "master's lads" over an extra pint beyond theirallowai.ee, amt then bc returned to the dining-room and re? ported Day as having "gone to see;" and in due time bc reported him as having found tho loft perfectly te nantless. He bad never stirred from the kitchen fire; but that was of no consequence Mr. Smith Butler was content; and looking across the table to Walter, said, sneeringly, "One of your follies, as usual, Mr. Lechmero, von sec!" ".Not very unlikely, though, Kir, was it?"' said Walter, laughing. '.Very unlikely indeed. 1 should say," snapped Mr. lintier. "1 really gave way to the absurdity to satisfy you; I never thought it likely myself."'" "Thank yon. sir," said Walter, quito tranquilly; and Carry put in, "It is always better to sift things, if possible,-without laughing.
