E1-U-. ?The
Star of Bethlehem.
KV IIKN'KY KIHKK WlllTK.
When marshalled on the nightly piain
The glittering host bestial the sky.
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
Hark! hark! to Hod the chorus breaks,
From e\ery luvst. from every gem:
Hut one alone the Saviour speaks.
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
Once on the raging seas I rode;
The storm was loud, the night was
dark:
The ocean vawmod, and rudeh Mowed
The wind that tossed m\ foundering
bark.
Deep horror then my viials froze.
Death-struck, 1 ceased the tide to
stem:
When suddenly a star arose
it was the Star of Bethlehem.
It was my guide, my light, my all:
It bade my dark foreboding's cease;
And through the storm and danger's
t hrall
It led me to the port of peace.
Now. safely moored, m\ perils o'er,
I'll sing tiist in night's diadem,
Forever and forevermore.
Tlie Star the Star of Bet hlehem.

Louise stood Irembllng wlMi fear
and cold, as the old woman was thus
preparing her logo out hogging, and
she had need of all her strength even
to stand, much less walk.
She could hardly be worse oil than
she was now, and site resolved to brave
1 he power of her tormentors.
"hh -eh? W hat next?" asked the
old woman, sharply, and turning to
.1 acq ties, she sa id, with a sneer: "l>o
you hear that? She doesn't wish to
go out."
"We'll see about thai," and the
t hreat implied in J acqties' brut til t ones
caused the poor girl to tremble as if
an ague lit.
Pierre saw the storm that was
gathering, and knew that it must soon
break upon the blind girl's defenseless
head. Anxious to save her all the
trouble be could, he went close to her
and whispered warningly: "Take
care."
"Come here, my little beauty." said
Jacques, coarsely, as he at tempted to
take her hand.
"1 forbid you to touch me!" exclaimed
the poor girl, recoiling in horror
from his villainous touch.
"Oh. ho!" sneered the brute in human
form, "then we are no longer
friends."
"You! Friends!" exclaimed Louise.
"You're cruel wretches!"
"Yet you were glad enough to share
our home when we picked you up in
t he st rcets."
"Yes* I was grateful to you then,
because you offered me a shelter.
Alas! 1 learned too soon that it was
not pity for my misfortunes that
moved you. No no, you wanted to
make use of my a 111 let ion. You have
starved, tort urcd, beaten me: but now,
feeble as I am, my will shall be st longer
than your violence. I will beg no
more!"
As Louise tlitis declared her intention
of submitting no longer to the
demands of her tormentors, she stood
erect, and her slight form seemed to
expand, and for the moment she undoubtedly
had the strength to resist:
but alas! only for a moment could she
expect to have strcngt h enough even
to permit of her standing erect.
"When her blood is up she is superb,"
said Jact|ues, gazing with admiral
ion upon her.
"Oh, well well," laughed the old
woman, "that isall mighty line; but
where is the I tread ami )uitt?.i- ir?.
from?" *
"I care not," said Louise, firmly.
' Do you hear?" asked IMerre, of his
mother, while he gazed at Louise in
alarm. " 1 >o you know what she means?
She will starve rather than Leg."
"Nonsense!" was the sneering reply.
"She will get tiried of that soon
enough."
"Never!" cried the blind girl.
"Well, we'll see if locking you up in
the garret won't bring you to your
senses.''
And the old woman laughed, as she
saw the flush of fear that passed over
the poor girl's face, and she noticed
that her at titude was not so defiant.
"If 1 enter that place I shall never
leave It alive." said Louise, piteously.
"Poor child?poor child!" exclaimed
Pierre, ;us he .turned awa> to hide his
tears.
"Why, she is magnificent," said
Jacques, in admiration. "I'd never
have believed that she had so much
spirit."
As bespoke he wcnl toward the
trembling girl, and tried to kiss her;
but she managed to escape from him.
As Jacques attempted this outrage,
Pierre rushed forward as though he
would strike him to the earth; but he
checked himself, and exclaimed, in a
voice filled with reproach:
"Jacques!"
"Well, what is it? You don't like
it, I suppose, Master Cupid. Well,
forbid it, why don't you?"
"1 do."
And Pierre was about to rush forward
again: but Jacques' threatening
attitude caused him to stop, and he
went to a further corner of t lie room,
muttering to himself:
"Oh, miserable, cowardly wretch
that I am!" and he sobbed like a child,
as he t hought of his own cowardice.

arm, and dragging her toward the
steps. "You're strong enough when
you w;int. to be. I'p intojhe garret
with you," and the old wroteh haltcarried,
Ii<ilf-dragged the poor girl
along, until tit t he steps Louise fell
from her grasp, and lay upon the
stairs, seemingly too feeble to move.
"Yes, that is right, mother, t tike her
up," stiid Jacques,encouragingly, "get
her out of the way. Oh, come here,
1 want to speak to you," lie added as
he suddenly thought of some message
that he had forgot ten.
The old woman hurried down to
hear what her darling son had to say,
and as she left Louise where she had
fallen upon the stairs, Pierre took the
opportunity of slipping around on the
opposite side of the staircase, and
whispering:
ou can escape. I have unscrewed
the lock. The key to the street dixit
is under your mattress. Trust to
Heaven to guard you. Nothing worse
can nappe11 Liiiin uireaiens you here."
He finished whispering just in lime
to hear Jacques say to his mother:
'Lock her tip securely. I have my
reasons for distrust ing Master Cupid. '
' Yes yes, I understand," replied
the old "woman, shaking her head
knowingly.
"Coma my innocent, hard-working
brother," ordered Jacques, in a sneering
tone, "come witlj me, 1 want you."
"I have work h<re." answered
Pierre, as he went to his wheel, and
commenced to work.
"And 1 have work for you else.

The erlpple did not dare to disobey

"Ah! it' I had anything hut water in

VIS1TOUS.
As thed(K)r elosed tipon her two
sons, the old woman gave way t.o her
, I'celings of admiration for her hand* |
s une ! aeqiies.
Louise lay on 1 he stairs as rigid as if
she had been earveel from stone.
La Krochard sealed herself by the
table, and communed with herselL
' \li, what ;i splendid fellow .lactpics
i-,: The very image of his deal'fat nor.
'I'here was a man for you; bill 1 hey <-ut
(?ll his head. Ah! il makes me siek to
think of it. i must take some I hing to
st relict lien me."
Mother Kroehard had una I faith in
the virtue of brandy as a means of
st relict henln^ herself, and she commenced
to search in her capacious
pocket for the brandy bottle which she
always carried.
"Yes- yes. young woman," she said,
threateningly, as she continued her
, search, "I'll attend to you in a minute."
She had found the bottle, and taking
a long draught, she exclaimed:
l'Ah! that warms my heart!" Then
after anol her drink, she said, much a->
she would have said had l.ouise been
before her instead of lying oil the
stairs in nearly a swoon: "We'll see
how you enjoy a couple of days' starvation.
Yes, Jacques is right, we must
break your obstinate spirit. Then
when you come out you won't refuse to
help your friends make an honest living."'
A not her deep pull at t lie hot t le, and
the old hag was ready for any work,
however wicked. Wit h a fiendish look
upon her face, she went to the blind
girl, and. taking her by the arms,
lorced her t o st and.
"Shamming again, you are? Stand
up and come w ith me." and t he old
w retell began to pull the poor girl up
t lie dilapidated st aiis.
"Oil, madaiuc!" screamed Louise, in
an agony ol terror, as she fully understood
thai she was about to be conlined
again in t lie garret, "have you no
soul, no pity? I >o not kill me!"
"I don't intend to, you're loo valuable,"
replied the old woman, who had
Succeeded in gelling Louise to the
door, and opening il .she 111rust her in.
"There, gel in with you, I'll sec you

So frantically did the terrilied girl
cling to the oid woman's garments,
that she found il impossible to shake

While La l-Tochard is thus plcasantly
engaged, we will, in a few brief
words, explain what happened after
Marianne was carried a way into exile.
Henrictte remained at La Salpetricro
tintil nightfall, and in the meantime
t,he Count de Lin lores had received
notice lhat she had embarked in the
prison ship. I lent once gave I'icard
the necessary orders for the release of
I lie chcvatier, and at dusk, lie and
Henrictte and he Vaudroy were together,
discussing plans for the release
of Louise.
IMeard proved a valuable aid in the
matter, and hel'ore Henrictte had been
out of prison an hour, she was on her
way to lind tin* blind girl from whom
she had been separated so long.
They had nodiniculty in procuring a
warrant for the arrest of Jacques and
his mother, and a guard to execute il,
uirtl 1 i 1 ns armed with the power of the
law, 11 ley a i it icipat ed no trouble.
The boat-house occupied by the lTo,
cliards Itad. as the reader will remember,
an cut ranee opening on the Seine
which was seldom used, and the only
<?t her means of entering I he house was
through a long, dark passage leading
from the It tic Noir. At the entrance
(if this passage t lie rescuing party halt
ed, and it was then decided that IMeard
should lead the guards around to
the door on t he river side, while the
chevalier should proceed through the
passage, cont riving to roach the house
at the same I iino t lie soldiers did.
It was thought necessary that the
chevalier should go to the next street
where he could watch the movements
of Hie guards, and thus lime his own
movements. Leaving Henrictte at the
entrance of the passage, with many
caul ions t hat she should not stir from
the spot. he hurried awav.
To I ho young girl who had thus
waited the preparations which were to
restore her to her sister, the time
passed with leaden wings, and she
eotdd not remain inactive. She resol
ved to enter the house in advance
of t he ot hers, and t hns have t he pleasure
of clasping her sister in her arms a
few moments sooner.
Alone site threaded the dark, noisome
passage. A lone she pursued her
rash journey, prompted by her great
love ror her sister, braving all the horrors
of that viper s den in order that
she might meet her sister a few moments
sooner.
* * * * *
Mot her Krochard descended from t he
garret: she had left Louise insensible,
and having thus performed her duty,
bp took herself to t he eonsolal ion which
she could derive from her BVandy bott
le.
Suddenly she heard a knock at the
door, and start ing in atfi iglit, she hid
her hot t Ic among some of the cooking
utensils that littered the table, and
advanced to the door, asking:
" Who's thero? What do you want?"
It was Ilenriotto's voice that said
from t he outside:
"I am looking for some one for
Madame Kroc ha rd."
"What do you want of her?" asked
the old woman, suspiciously, and making
no motion toward opening the
door.
" I must speak wit li iter."
"Are you alone?"
' Yes, I am alone."
The answer seemed to satisfy La
Krochard, for she immediately unfastened
t he door, saying:
"Well, if you are alone, you may
come in."
| iienrietto entered, and l?ui a single
look at the squalid place frightened
her. The whole house looked a lit
abode for murderers and thieves, and
the appearance of I he . old woman
seemed lo heighten-that impression.
"(Jrcat Heavens! can tills be the,
place?" she asked herself, in astonish-':
| men!.
As she stood in the centre of the
room, gazing w it h fear and t reinhling j
i upon every object, Mother I roe hard (
was favoring her with suspicious looks. [
"Well, young woman," she said, af- j '
tor waiting a few moments for Henri-; 1
otto to speak, "you want to.see Madame
I rochard what have you got to |
say to her?" * '
St ill 1 lenriet te hesitated, and placed 1
her hand upon her heart to st ill its tu- <
mult uous healings. . I
?
"Come, wliut is it?" sixain asked the
ol<l woman, impatiently. "What are
vow locking for? Doyouexpeei tollnd
any one here?"
"Yes \es. I am looking for the
person wiio lives here with you."
"What person?" and Mother Proehaid's
metallic voice was harder and
shriller ihan ever.
" \ young jjirl,"answered Ilenriette.
"Ah, ha." 1 bought the old woman,
"this must tie the sister." Thetf she
said, in an indifferent voice: 1 don't
know any thine about any young girl."
"Youdon'l know her?" asked Ilenriette,
in astonishment.
" No."
"Am I mistaken? This house answers
the deseript ion. and your name
is Kroehard, is it not?
"Klphtemie rroehard. What 1hon?"<
" You beg in t lie si reels wit h a you up
girl who sings, do you not?"
"Me beg in the streets!" replied the
old woman, in a highly indignant tone,
as if t he idea of such a ' liing was an insult
to her. "Why should I beg?
Haven't I two sons who work forme?
One of tliein is a knife-grinder look,
there is his wheel, and the other one
is oh, if he were only here now!"
"You must lie the one," wild Ilenriette,
half to herself, "I lie dot t ir
told me that lie knew you. and
I I el I lift t e st o tilled lull/1 mr twl
utterance to o scream, expressive of
surprise and fear.
Siic had noticed the shawl and scarf
which the old woman had taken fro n
Louise, and fastened upon herself.
"What is t he mattery" asked theod
hag in no lit t le surprise.
"That shawl 1 know it! It is hers
it is hers, I tell you!" screamed lionnet
te, as a thousand fears for her
sister's safety presented themselves to
her mind.
"Not a hit of it: it is mine," boldly
asserted La t'roehard, thinking she
could make the young girl believe her.
And t his searf around your neck?"
" Well, w-hat of it V"
"It was made for her by my own
hands!" exclaimed llenrietle, tearing
it from t lie old woman's neck. "< Mi.
wretch! you have lied to me!"
For an instant La Kroehard was asfonished.
Slic had thought to persuade
llenrietle that she knew not hingahout
her sister; hut it wusiinposslhle.
I lor round, wicked face grew perfect ly
llendish with rage, as she hissed
through her set teeth, I he single word:
"()aught!"
Then, after a moment's thought,
she turned to llenriettc with a smile
that was intended to he sympat hetie.
"Well well," she saio, in a sorrowful
voice, "if yon must know t he t rut h,
I'll tell you. When you came in, you
were so excited and frightened, I
didn't dare to tell you all
"All all what,?*' interrupted llenriettc,
in an agony of apprehension.
"Speak quickly."
"<>ne evening ahoul three mouths
ago," continued Mother Krochard, "l
met the girl you are looking for,
wandering ahoul the streets. I had
pity on her, and brought her home
with me, where I took care of her."
The old woman stopped to wipe
away imaginary tears, hut the agonized
girl exclaimed:

knew I was poor and coludn't alio id to
keep her for not hing, so she sunn soineI

and site sunn like <l 1 i11 le bird."
Again the old woman's feelings overcame
her, and she was obliged t o stop.
" \nd t hen, what t hen?"
"And then, why, you see the poor
child wasn't very strong, and what
with the life we led, and the sorrow
she felt. she couldn't st and it, and t he
poor lit t le bird broke down cut ire'y. She
said she couldn't sing any more, and
that was t he end of it. l-'or two days
she has been dumb. She'll sing no
more no more."
As Mother K roe hard linished, her
voice, which at first had had the professional
whine in it, sunk almost to a
whisper, and seat ing herself in a chair,
she covered her face with her apron,
and simulated an agony of grief.
" Dead!" exclaimed llenriette, while
every vest igeof color left her face, and
>,lie stood like one petrified, "dead, my
sister my Louise is dead!" and overcome
by her intense sorrow, she sunk
insensible on t he lloor.
" fainted, eh?" cried t he old woman,
.jumping up quickly, and gazing at the
prostrate girl. "What am I to do

Then you need a good dlgestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without

A Day for Children.
Christmas seems to be the only festival
of the year which rightfully belongs
to the children the time when
t he Christ-child came Into the world,
born in sucli a lowly place, that no
child, however humble, but should
share in the Joy of his birth. If we
have children In our homes, says a
writer in the Farm and Fireside, let
us invest the Christmas-time with all
the beauty and brightness that is
possible. Teach them tlie sweet old
Christmas songs, such as "Holly
Night," "Once in Koyal David's City,"
i) uiue town or Heihiehcm"' and
".loy to the World." Tell them again
the story of the birth of the Christ.
All children love it. and is ever new.
These talks are made more interesting
by looking at pictures. (?ood
copies of old masterpieces illustrating
j the life of Christ are very cheap now,
and should be in every home. Such
pictures as Corneggio's "Nativity,"
"The Worship of the Magi," "The
Madonna and (,'hild," will make a last ing
impression on a child's mind. As
Christmas commemorates < Jod's greatest
and best gift to tin1 world, it is a
sweet custom for friends to give some
gift to each other symbolizing their
love. In too many homes the children
are in danger of having their own idea
of Christmas one of getting something,
instead of sharing in the joy of
giving, in t>liis way thev lose the best
part of the Christmas joy. He sure to
let even the little ones have a share in
the Christ mas preparation; teach them
that t he best part of every gift is the
love that noes with it, and to try to
make a happy Christmas for as many
as they can. It would be a good tiling
if all children would commit to to
memory these lines, by I'hobc Carey,
and practice them:
Children whose li\es are blest with
lovr lint itlil
Whose M'lls arc greater I lian your arms
can hold,
Think of the child who stand's
To-day with empty hands!
(!o till t hem up and you will also till
Their einp'y he ns, that he ro cold
and slid,
And brighten longing eyes
Wit h grateful, glad surprise.
May all who have at this blest season
seek
Ills precious little one the poor and
weak:
In joyful, sweet accord,
Thus lending to the Lord!
