Perhaps no young parson will believe that any One can be sorry at the prospect of Christmas. But l'or all that, l)r. Gray' was sorry, ami older persons will believe the statement when they are further informed that l)r. Gray’s family consisted of twelve persons—his wife and his Wife’s mother, himself, two sons, three daughters, one man servant, two maid servants and a young medical student. It is evident that the doctor had many expenses. Although he had a large and excellent practice, there Were so many' ways by which his money Was constantly disappearing that he was far more perplexed than many a poorer niian to meet his January bills.' And hpre. just before January, was this ogre of gift exchange, ready to swallow the doctor’s purse and eall for n|ore. No Wonder that his usually good-natured fjtce, lengthened, and he almost Wished that sneh costly symbolizing of good vdBto men had never been invented. course, every member of his family must give to every other member—to .say5 nothing of outside relatives and friends—and neither his wife nor children—nor himself for that matter-— Wished to bp niggardly in their gifts. His eldest daughter, Bertha, had gone st> far as to intimate that it would be a good time to give ma a new seal-skin coat, and his wife had stated that it was really time that Bertha had a nice gold ? Watch- Florence openly- declared,Unit sjhe had lived a year ill hope of rec-eiv-IngW handsome stationary writing desk at Christmas. Nathan evidently hoped for a velocipede. Little Maria told papa sofvy tha t she bad never owned a large doll. Ned, the youngest, said, jubilantly, that he had changed his Usual evening prayer to a petition to Santa Clans to send him a very handsome new sled an-.l a rocking-horse. jJJys. Gray, with an evident attempt to borb mark ably economical, when she saw how very sober the doctor looked at these various suggestions, said, hesitatingly, that she would try to make a hundred dollars do for her Christmas allowance; but she really could not set

wuen tor eleven persons with (hat, especially as she wished; to make him and grandma and the older children some handsome presents this year. _ “Iso, mv deay,” said the doctor, decidedly, “£ can not spare any such amount, if I am to furnish the children money for their purchases also. Fifty dollars is the very niost I can give you Take that, and omit me from your list; I will accept ttio other fifty dollars cash now form/'present.” So saying, the doctor kissed her, made some playful * remark and handed her five ten-dollar bills. After she had left the room, he sighed heavily. Mrs, Gray was a gen-erous-hearted woman, and she had ' looked very much disappointed, having really hoped the kind doctor would give her much more than she ask 'd for. “This will never do,” thought the doctor; “the demands grow larger all around every year. 1 must inform the •hildren plainly that they can. have no more than they had last year, or they will be asking' for money in the same ratio.” When this information was given, in a pleasant but firm manner, there was a great outcry. They declared that they could not get anything with so small an amount; fifteen dollars apiece for almost grown-up young ladies and a boy five feet tali—fifteen dollars to be divided among more than eleven persons; it was preposterous. In spite of the wry faces, the doctor was firm. Ib

cheery ypung voice called out: “ Good afternoon, doctor!” The speaker was a plainly-dressed boy. He stood on the steps of the top-shop, and he, too, had s bundle under his arm. “How are you, Robert, and how is Willie getting along?” said the doctor, after pausing a moment. “Oh, he’s ’most as well as ever, and we’re going to have a nice 'Christmas for him. I’ve got some things in this bundle to put on the tree.” “A merry Christmas to you all,” said the doctor, passing on. “Umph!” the doctor soliloquized. “It’s just the same with the poorest of them; that friendless widow who sews for her living will deny herself and her family necessary articles, I presume, to get up a Christmas tree; and as for her doctor's bill—oh well, that is the least of the mischief; I’ve J,>een too much of a fool myself, in giving way to this modern extravagance, to say anything about others.” While the family were busy that afternoon over Christmas preparations, and the doctor as busy as any one, the servant announced a boy in the office who wanted to pay a bill. “Is it passible!” exclaimed the doctor. “No one has otiered to pay a bill before these two weeks.” Upon entering the office he found the boy whom lie had seen that morning on the steps of the toy-shop. “Here is the bill and the money, doctor,” lie t^ud, “and mother wishes me to say we thank you very much, too, and shall always be irratefui, for we think you saved Willie’s life.” Upon counting the money, the doctor found it was precisely the sum charged in the bill. • “How could your mother aftord 'to send me all this at Christmas time, my boy?” he asked. “Christmas didn’t make any difference, or else ’twas the very best time; ’cause it put it into our heads that Willie's being well again was the best Christmas present we conld have. We call him our Christmas present. But; he’s so little, lie wouldn’t understand, so we’ve fixed up a tree for him. I ent it in. the woods. Belle and I have trimmed it up quite gay. I wish you could see it. Willie’ll Bo tickled enough.” “I’ll be around to look at - it, early this evening, Rob,” said the doetorj gravely. “I want to seq your mother a moment.” “We'll light the candle when you get

turn;. - , “■The candle?” “Yes; we’ve got one candle that mother happened to have, and we’ve tied it to the middle of the tree. We’ve made some little balloons and things of gilt and silver paper, and colored tissue paper that they gave me at the box shop. I guess .when the candle is lit, it’ll show ’em oil'real pretty.” The doetor made no reply. Rob thought he was not paying much attention to what he said; but he was too happy, and too anxious to get home ijo Belle and Willie and the Christmas tree to mind the doctor’s ladk of interest. In fact, the doctor was paying close attention to what the boy said.' ‘‘I shall bo sure to happen around, Rob,” he repeated, passing him the receipted bill. The doctor made his appearance early in the evening, before Willie—who, in spite of the great sceresy which had been exercised, was not without his suspicions—had seen the wonderful tree. . lie was sitting by his mother’s side in a little rocking chair, still pale and thin from the effects of a dangerous illness, but with a .bright, animated countenance and sparkling eyes. Belle sat at the table with her mother, assisting in some sewing. Rob was reading aloud from a city library book. The doctor could see them before he entered, between the edge of the curtain and the window, as he eame up to fhe door. Before he rang the bell, he slipped a covered basket, which he had in his hand, down besides the steps. “We were waiting for'yon,’1 said Roh. “We were afraid the candle would bum out before you eame, if we lighted it.”

iou were very Kina to come, doctor, and to-night, too, when you have so much merry making at home,” said the widow. “We have nothihg to show except how little it takes to make our young folks happy—and not so little, either; for I am sure their greatest happiness as well as mine is in seeing Willie so well again.” “Yes, yes,” said the doctor. “Why— his cheeks are rounding out considerably, let’s see if they are getting hard, too,”—and he pinched Willie’s cheeks, “lint don’t keep him wuitingany longer, children, light the candle and done with it.” So Rob went into the other room and brought out a kind of box, upon which evergreens were tacked in a mysterious manner. There was a round hole in tiie top of the box- Willie evidently thought this was the groat mystery. He rati to the box and looked into the hole. While he was looking, with his back turned, Rob brought out the tree. It was a fragrant juniper fresh from the woods. It towered above Rob’s head and shone and glittered and rustled. The one candle was lighted and gave forth a mysterious radiance from the center of the tree. ' “ Look, Willie!” said the doctor. Willie looked, clapped his hands and gave a little shout. Rob fitted the tree into the box. “It is your tree, Willie,” said Belle. “ It Is all for just yon.” Sure enough, it had upon it nothing but the bright ornaments, strings of pop-corn, sonic orahges, red apples, sticks of candy, gavly painted wooden and tin toys, and some white and red HlHBliBBhhJfQr all that. if. was a

. cents selling ■extras,’ to make up enough.” It was out of Willie’s mouth before any one cov ld stop him. “Now that Willie has been such a tell-tale, doctor, I must say that nothing ever mi.de me happier than the result of this test for the children. I reminded the u just how it stood; there was this just bill for your care in Willie’s sickness; would they feel better to put it off—we were all sure that you would be too kind to distress us font— or should we feel better to pay it and call it our Christmas^thank-offering for Willie's recovery? Rob and Belle said at once: ‘Let ns pay it now; then we shall have done what we could to show our gratitude to the kind doctor, and it would make us happier Christmas than anything else could. Besides, we can make a nice, new start free from debt. Willie is the only one who will mind going without Christmas presents, and we can contrive something to please him.’ So vou see, doctor, we have made ourselves happy by putting our money to this purpose; you can iteU by the children's faces that'it was no cross at all *r “I sec,” replied the doctor; “y ou are the happiest family I have met for many a da;,-. Instead of pitying yon, I envy you. But you did not know my custom; I always throw off half the usual charge, with persons of limited means. This bill was made out in full through a mistake of the young man in my office. It was to return half the payment that I came down to-night.” The widow and Rob and Belle objected to taking back any of the payment, but the doctor was inflexible, insisting upon it as his invariable custom. “You may be sure we haVe never been used to such generosity on the part of physicians,” said the widow, with tears in her eyes. “The doctor we had before had not prepared us for such consideration as this. It was before Rob and Belle were old enough to earn more than a few pennies now anckthen, and oil lie was only fouryears old. This doctor was a gruff'' man. He came in one day and asked me if 1 could pay him. The bill was only six dollars, to be sure; it was only three visits. But 1 had been sick for several weeks, and had only three dollars in the world. ‘1 can't pay you just now,’ I said, ‘unless I empty the children's banks.’! ‘I suppose you will never pay,’ says; he. ‘On, yes,’ I said, ‘if the children will lend me

tne:r money perhaps l can pay you now.’ Roll, and Belle brought their banks forward at once, and, while 1 was counting out the money, Willie ran and got hia too. It took all but ten cents of the little fellow's money to help make up the six dollars.” • j “And did the scamp take it?” asked the doctor. “Indeed he did,” replied Bob, “and he seemed very glad to get it, too.” “He is a disgrace to the profession. I will not ask who he is for fe:ir 1! should be tempted, to give him a piece of my mind. But I must not stay any longer; my family are expecting me, and Willie has waited very patiently for a chance to investigate that beautiful j tree. By the way, I ran into the pantry before I came from home, and tumbled together ! what Christmas, fare I could lay my hands on in a hurry. That is for yon, too, Willie, and you can pas.* it round to the rest.” •$, The doctor darted out and in t he door, and brought with him the basket, whose contents he hastily piled upon the table beside the surplus money he had deposited there. Willie's eyes glistened again at sight of the nuts, oranges, tigs, 'bon bons, white and purple grapes and bananas. The doctor gave no time dor thanks; but, waving the empty basket, vanished into the ch ar, bright night. Upon the clear, bright night alone fell the.exclamation. “Thank Heaven this generation is not wholly given over to folly, and neither is that which is coming only—Hpringjield (Mass.') Republican.

Long cloaks of rich velvet; and satin in rather light colors, elaborately embroidered, are worn in the evening; they are made iu the familiar designs with the fronts loose, the back closely fitted to the waist, full skirts below, and loose sleeves that go on and off easily. Kern satin with lengthwise rows of jardiniere embroidery represents one of these rich garments; another hi goldenbrown velvet with parts of the fronts of poppy-red velvet with applique embroidery; ami a third, of pale gray? velvet, is trimmed with silver-fox fur. Less costly wraps are made of dark red plush, and bordered with dark marabout foathers, or the same rich coloring is given fine camel’s hair with a border of brown plush of deep pile. The short wraps are preferred by many young ladies, as they say they give the warmth needed about the body and do not crush the skirts. These are made up> at homo in any of the simple mantle and visite shapes of fine wool or plush, or of velvet either plain or in small figures, and fcfe warmly lined and wadded.

THE COTTON CENTENNIAL The Opening Ceremonies at the OreacentCity. New Orleans In Gala Attire—The Procession to the Grounds—Formal Proceedings lly City, State and National Dignitaries—The Wheels More. New Orleans, La., December 17. The day lor opening the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition dawned clear and pleasant. Nothing was left undone to make the opening ceremonies brilliant and imposing. Nerei before have the streets ol the city been so crowded with people. Already the hotels are full, and great difficulty Is experienced in obtaining good quarters. The city presented a gala appearance. The buildings along the principal streets were profusely decorated. Flags, banners and buntings of al(, colors and decorative design having been tastefully arranged along'the house fronts, while at many of the more prominent street comers triumphal arches were erected. Canal street, the grand boulevard ol of the Crescent City, presented a spectacle never equaled even during carnival festivities. From the river front away toward the lake, the eye met nothing but one vast scene of changing colors. The stores were decorated so gorgeously that one could with difficulty see the bnUdingj. Flags of all nations hung from broad galleries, and streamers were ’suspended from roofs to the ground. Even the wide “Neutral Grounds” showed bits of color. Eong before the hour fixed for the formation of the Exposition procession, the crowds began to collect on the broad banquettes and on the neutral space in the middle of the street. Soon the thoroughfare from Rampart street to the river was so densely packed with people that thousands despaired of getting a glimpse of the procession and ttiok the various lines of cars for the Exposition Park. Shortly after ten o’clock the procession composed of officers of the Exposition Commissioner of Foreign countries the United States Government and the several States, and distinguished visitors and citizens, formed and begau the march to the levee, where was moored the maguificeut steamer Fred. A. Blanks draped in all the colors of the rainbow. The procession marched aboard the Blanks, which swung out into tire stream and /headed for the lower limits of the corporation, so as to traverse the entire length of the city in the trip up stream, giving those aboard a view of the entire shipping, moored along the fifteen miles of river front.

Reaching the lower end of the city the Blanks turned and sped up stream, her course along the route being the signal for salutes from war ships, ocean vessels and the screaming of steam-whistles of the steamboats. Every vessel was tastefully decorated with flags, and theirerews on deck and in the rigging, cheered as the Blanks passed. The boat lauded at the Exposition wharf at noon, and the party proceeded to Music Hall, in the'main building, where the opening exercises were to be : held. When the procession reached the building the 11,000 seats in the hall were almost filled by persons who had started for tlie park before the procession moved, while thousands congregated in groups aronud the vast auditorium. When the Exposition oflicers and Commissioners had taken places oil the platform, the orchestra struck up the “President’s March.” A reception to Governor S. 1). McKnery followed, ami the orchestra played National airs. Rev. T. lie Witt Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, offered prayer, at the conclusion of which Governor MeEuery began the opening address. The Governor referred to the magnitude of the Exposition, aud the benefit it would confer on the whole country, especially the South, to whom international expositions had hitherto been unknown, aud expressed the belief that the intercourse between people from different sections of the country would briim, the States closer together, socially and politically, than they had been for a third of a century. The Exposition poem of Mrs. Mary Ashley Townsend, “Xariffa,” was then read, at the conclusion of which Mayor J. Y. Guillotte, welcomed the visitors to the Cresent City, promising them courteous and fair treatment by the citizens. Director-General Major E. A. Burke then presented the Exposition building to President Ed. ltichardsou in a brief address. Colonel Richardson, in turn, presented the building to President Arthur by telegraph. A telegraphic response was received1 aud read from the President, oflfcially announcing the opening of the Exposition. The machinery began to move slowly, followed by the whir of two miles of shafting. Governor MeEuery then received the Commissioners and distinguished visitors, aud amid a burst of National airs from the orchestra the proceedings came to aelose. While the building is not entirely completed, aud while half the exhibits are not yet arranged, still as much progress has already been made as at any international exposition on opening day. The management has used every endeavor to push the work as fast as possible, and the delay has been rather the fault of the exhibitors than of the officials. Everything was in readiness for the former, aud they simply did not take advantage of it. Great delay, however, was caused by a blockade of railroads. Many hundred cars of exhibits have not yet reached the grounds, the jam being especially heavy on the Illinois Central and Louisville & Nashville. These cars will be brought in rapidly, and by the time the holidays are over, everything will be in complete order. In the main building one-third of the space-is as yet unoccupied; but exhibitors are patting up their platforms rapidly. Those displays complete represent every conceivable article of manufacture, from a needle to the mammoth llarris-Corliss engine. All the displays are tasty aud many are elegant aud rich. The space lor foreign exhibits in this building is almost entirely vacant. This is caused by the rigid enforcement of customs regulations. Over a thousand tons of goods of the loom are lying in bonded wareltouses and aboard ships, although the management used every endeavor to secure" a modification of the customs rules ami the usual formalities attending the entry of imports, and although they were seconded by customs officials here, and the Treasury Department at Washington seemed willing to make concessions," it was only Monday night that Collector Badger received an order from Secretary McCulloch to allow all articles intended for the exhibit to be sent to the grounds immediately, without beiug disturbed in any way. Bond will be required on small articles of great value, which will be given by the exposition management. Under the order all foreign exhibits will be immediately sent to the grounds in honded barges and rapidly arranged in their departments. A large number of arrivals from Europe wiH not reach here until the arrival of the steamer Great Eastern, which sails from London on Friday. These latter arc expected to be In position early in January.

ny xar me largest ana most interesting of foreign exhibits will be that of Mexico, mud thetr building has just been completed, caused by a delay In their iron work at Pittsburgh. In the Government building there seems to have been unreasonable delay on the part of the Commissioners and owners. The United States exhibit is a magnificent one, but Is not yet complete. " The Smithsonian institution and geological ^department is well advanced, and very little<1 to them. Almost everyftBjuutl of prehistoric times and of the prct)Pn* day is se«“ in the former’s space, 1 JP>“1110 mammoth that occupies a large po5$ion 4110 Sal* lery to the smallest fish.

Here are seen models of every class of vessels and defensive and offensive armameut. A large portion of this space is fliled by articles brought back from the Arctic regions by the Greely Relief party. These attracted more attention than any other single exhibit. Among them were the suits worn by the men, sledges, sleeping bags and cauvass cases for provisions, with the sail-boat of the party. Some of the State exhibits are complete; some in an embryo state, and others not begun. In the second class is Illinois. Her display is. being rapidly pressed, however, and will be completed in less than a week. Ohio is building a beautifully constructed |sky of blue bobbinet, interspersed with stars, an exceedingly fine effect being produced, the domes being an exact picture of the heavens as mirrored in a sheet of water. The States presenting the finest displays are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, all of New Kuglaud except Connecticut, Indiana, Nebraska, California, Dakota and Wyoming Territories. All of these present every product of their soils, mines and waters. Most erf the other States are far behind, notably New York and Pennsylvania. Louisiana and Mississippi, perhaps, sliows the most resources, and surprised the best informed of their citizens. The mineral display from the Western and Pacific Coast States could not be finer or more ■ complete. Every product of the mines, in the shapes of ores and metals is shown. The finest and most pieturesqne display in tins building is that of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. In a large1 Swiss chalet, built of sheaves of grain with ornaments of corn in the ear, is every vegetable raised in the vast section of country through which the Road passes. The art gallery was not completed in sufficient time to admit of the hanging of pictures, which, however, are at the grounds and will be put up in a week. The arc collection is said to be exceedingly fine, containing gems of the best artists, and connoisseurs declare it will equal any ever exhibited. Horticultural Hall is a garden of Eden. Every llower, seed and plant of the tropics and temperate zones is seen. Even in its present stage nothing ever before presented ean compare with it. Altogether, while the Exposition is not yet in as complete order as its managements and its friends desired on opening day, it will fully repay a trip across the continent. One cannot see the exhibits now presented in a day, or. even in a week. The first day leaves the visitor’s mind in a whirl, and he passes over so much space that he really does not know what he has seen. Booths that would j hold the attention for an hour, if standing atone, are passed unnoticed in a vain at- | tempt to cover the mammoth buildings at a single visit.

it uas never expecieumai a stream or Visitors would set in until after the holidays, and the attendance to-day was exceedingly gratifying, Fully twenty thousand attended the ceremonies in the main Wilding, and many thousands more wore scattered about i the . grounds. Several lines of cars and steamboats convey ed the crowd to and from the grodntis with much less crush than was anticipated, the waiting at no time becoming tedious, ft is generally admitted, however, that the accommodations are not yet sufficient, and by the middle of January a doubletruck road with large passenger coaches will be ready for tiie’publie. Visitors yesterday showed no. disappointment at the uncompleted state of the work, but on the contrary, those who attended the opening of the ‘Centennial expressed surprise at the progress made and tire smoothness with which things 1 were conducted. They say iu two weeks the Exposition will be what the managei merit has claimed—the grandest international fair ever held. The greeting of Major Burke, tire 1)1- ■ rcctor-tierreral, by the vast audience was spontaneous, hearty and long continued. : He had to pause teu minutes' before the applause subsided, and it was a titling tribute to the man who has worked eighteen hours a day for six months, to make the affair a success, by attending to evendetail of the. work.' Subordinates did nothing that had not his supervision, and to his efforts are due the present advanccd condition of affairs. The Ceremonies at the Executive Mansion.

The Marine Band rVas in attendance, and enlivened the ceremonies with Na- ! tional airs. The United States' Senate was represented by Senators Logan,I)olph,Cameron (of Pennsylvania), Cameron (of Wisconsin),Harrison,Miller (of California), Rid-, dleberger, Pendleton, Butler, Vest, Jones (of Florida), Slater and Walker. The committee on the part of the House consists of one member from each State. Following is a full text of Arthur’s address, formally opening the Exposition: “In the name of the people of this Republic, I congratulate the citizens of the Southwest in their advancing prosperity as manifested by the great international Exposition now- about to open. The interest of the Nation in that section of our Commonwealth has found expression in many ways, notably in appropriations for the improvement of the Mississippi, and by a National loan to promote the present Exposition. * Situated as it is at the gateway of trade, between the United States and Central and South America, it will attract the attention of the people of neighboring nations of the American system,, and they will learn the importance of availing themselves of our products, as we will of theirs, thus, not only good feeling, but proiitable intercourse between the United States and the States of Central and South America will be promoted. The people also of onr country, thus brought closer together, will find in this exposition of competitive industries, motives for strengthening the bonds of brotherhood. The railroads, telegraph lines and submarine cables have drawn much nearer together the nations of the earth, and an assembly like this, of representatives of the different nations is promotive of good will and peace, while it advances the material welfare of all. The United States extend to those from foreign countries who visit us on this occasion a cordial welcome. And now, at the Executive Mansion iu Washington, in the presence of the assembled representatives of the friendly nations of the world, of the President of the Senate, of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, of the Chief-Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, of a committee from each House of Congress, and of members my Cabinet, I again, in their came, congratulate the promoters ot the Exhibition upon the auspicious inauguration of the enterprise which promises such far-reaching results. With my best wishes for the fulfillment of all its great purposes, I now declare the World’s Industrial Cotton Centennial KxoositSou open.”
