My Night in a StageCoach.

TRUE STORY OF •n/ EVK

CHRISTMAS

The year was 1S58—tbo month Decernbei —the place Taniaqua. I waa a young man then, and a strong one. I did a good deal of traveling thnmgb the State of Pennsylvania, going from county town to county town from the beginning of the year" to the clone. It was pleasant business enough, for there was leas railroading to be done then titan now. and morew -%ng, and not infrequently long rides on iiiai boats in summer time. I wae not often hurried on my tripe, and took my own time. My exact business at the chanty seats consisted of hunting up titles to obscure wild lands, paying itutm on them and getting them in. good condition for immediate sale.

In consequence of the nature of this business, I knew a good deal about the topography of Pennsylvania, and a good deal that, at the time, was worth knowtag about its roads and its inns. .Ail of the latter were bad, but some were better than others. One of the worst of them waa at Tamaqna, and possibly it is there yet, though when I last slept under its roof it was in altogether such a lamentable condition of away, and its roof was such awery leaky roof indeed that I doubt not it has long ago disappeared out of the sight of men, and possibly out of their memories also—Tamaquu having achieved a,railroad since, and, of course grown only as railroad towns do grow*

I arrived there in that December, 1856, on a Monday afternoon, which was quite as cold and disagreeable a Monday afternoon as I remember ever to have known, though when compared with the Tuesday teat followed, it might be conside rod rather warm than otherwise, was half froaen when I got there, and I was not qnito thawed out when I left, for I had yi Medto a burning curiosity to visit a eoai mine, and I fhncy that Tamaqos is nothing but a coal mine, with a thousand mouths that every morning nwaliow so many thousand miners anc disgorge them every night. It was then, aad I Chink it is now, a very black, anc sooty place, with a canal in front of It, a hill behind it, and the huge mine I have spuken of under it. It was not only black and sooty itself bat its people were similarly black and sooty and so 'were its horses, or rather its moles, for ffc seemed so have few of the former and •a great many of the latter. Even its dogs and cats partook of the general sootiness, and were evidently greatly depressed by it. I was very cola when I went down into the mine—which had its shaft just behind the hotel—and I was oolder still when I came oat of it. I went to bed cold, and got up cold, so cold indeed that I thought I

neversboold

be warm any more. When I went down Into the frozen breakfast room, I looked out of the window and saw that the gtoand wan covered deep with snow, and that it was still snowing an if it meant to exhaust the whole winter's

•apply in five minutes, or so, being very much pressed to do it immediately. I drank my cold blank coffee, and ate my

cold tough bee&teak in gloomy silence thinking more than I had done for along time before, of home, of its pleasant cheer and warmth, and of the loving hoys and girls in It who were even then, no donbt expecting my speedy coming, for this was already the morning of Tuesday, and Thursday would be Cftrtetinas Day. In that home I was St. Nicholas him brought borne in the night the brave tree with its spreading greea branches: Ii was I that planted ft firmly in the middle of the wide parlor it waa I that found the infinite variety of torn cakes, ?»n*bo and glittering baubles which vered it: was I that placed the ever beautiful image of the Christ-Child on the topmost bough I thai lighted the many colored lepers, and I that at the sus{& moment threw open the foldbur rt and let in the ehfldrfin to beheld th. glory of the wondrous Christmas miracle.

The* landlord, leaning over the bar. if anything should happen to bim.M faked: That decided me to go on. Besides, I How nrncMT** did not care to talk was beginning to

I told him how much I was willing to feel cold again standing in the wind, so p«v, we got into the stage. It was not snow* I'll go and get the stage ready," he ing any faster then than before, simply only the higher be cause it eould not. But the roads ng for. were heavier, and when we tried to start, stage was at the the jaded horse balked and straggled .rybo

said. After all it was only the Wgher price he had been waiti In five minutes the door. It was an ordinary box wagon on good strong springs, having a cotton cover, open in front. The horse was a half-starved, jaded-looking beast. I took all this in as I

the porch waiting

for the driver. Getting impatient a^st,

Where la tho driver?" The landlord, without speaking,pointed to an Ill-clad boy standiag at the home's head. I looked closely at him. He might be, I thought, ttfteen years old, or he might be not more than ten. His eyes were eioar blue, and bo, hearing my oWiHin, turned them full upon mine, a frank, toyish smile rebuking the distrust my words implied, and lighting up everv feature of his delicate face. His complexion was like that of a girl, his mouth small and tender, his hair yellow, his figure slight and sinuous.

I looked at him standing there shivering with the cold, out through the driving storm, along the snow covered mountain road we we re ft) travel togethafraul to

er, and &%ked: "Are you not go?" Th© landlord interrupted:

It don't matter if he is afraid. He belongs to me. He shall go." No," I said "he shall not go unless he is quite willing." "jam not at ail afraid," tho boy relied, "and I am quite willing to go. I ave gone often and often through worse storms than this."

There was an earnest, manly grace even in the way he shook the gathered flakes from his tattered cap, and in hit. voice there was such a hearty, cheery ring, that from that moment I trustee I and loved this boy.

I jumped in to the stage, took the back seat, drew my great friete coat around my legs,and we a rove off from among the gaping, sooty crowd of miners into the lonely mountain road into thecruelest storm of wind and snow that I ever saw.

The boy sat on the front seat wait ing to be spoken to, looking straight ahead.

When we were quite ciear of tho straggling huts of the miners on the outermost, limits of the town, I asked him his name. "They call axe Lewis Shively," he said.

How old are yau, Lewis?" was my next question. Fourteen next April, sir."

Do you live at homo, with your fath er and mother. That man yonder is the only father or mother I have, and his stable loft is the only home I have known since he took me from the poor house. That was better than the stable, though, for they taught me something there."

There were no complaining chords in the tones in which tnese bitter words were said, and while he was speaking ho waa drawing the whip gently across the horse's back, brushing off the snow that bad fallen on it.

Have you been driving on this road long?" I inquired. "Going on three years. It will be three vears in March."

Is it cold out there? Colder than in here, 1 meant" "I think ii is," he replied "the wind and snow cut so, but I don't mind sir! We get used to rough weather up in these hills."

I wish you would come in here my coat will cover us both." "No, I can't" he said. "I must watch the road now. We have to go pretty aI. +1*a -rt nArtifti nun UAniOf MAtl

close to the precipices sometimes,1 "How dose?" 1 asked. "Within a few inches. I can't see now five yards ahead, the snow foils so heavily.*

Do you think it safe, then, to go on?" Quite safe sir! and I don't mind the cold." But his teeth chattered as he said it, and the ruddy glow was all gone from his cheeks.

I did not talk more then. There were, I discovered, wide cracks in the bottom of the staoe, through which the wind poured mercilessly. 3 was chilled to the heart In leas than an hour after starting. I dont know how for we had gane,or how long we had been on the road, when I heard the boy's voice, cheery and bright, saying

How are you now,sir? Feeling pretty comfortable, sir?" I nodded my head, wad crept closer Into the corner. But he was wiser than I, and would not let me have the sleep I coveted.

Yon are In a hurry to get home," he said, for want of something better to say with which to rouse me.

Yea," I replied. "I want to be at home on Christmas Rve." The beat days I ever knew were Christmases—a good while ago."

He said it as ir he were ever and ever so old, and what waa saddest of all, a* if he were done with Ch atmas forever. I MM him of the tree I was to get. and how Christmas Day was kept in the great

He was meet interested in the

ties, making me tell him again and again about It, Bat after awhile, as it he wore tired of it, he said:

I never saw a treelike that. I know aboot Christmas, though. About the Star, and the Mbepbarda, and the ChristChild, yon spoke of—that they laid in a manger."

Tbenyoa know al* any one In thia world need ever care to know," 1 said.

through the drift, for the Stage had frozen feat where it stopped.

It was three o'clock now, the light in the West growing dimmer and dimmer —the gloom of the mountains and bare woods coming nearer to us, making their meaning felt in our souls, filling mine with an awful dread of the snow-covered road beyond. Ten miles to go yet, the night coming quickly on, the cold growing more intense, the road rougher aud more precipitous, the horn evidently

finea,

jiving out! But the boy took up the the bright, frank smile upon his face, the cheery word upon his tongue. "Good-bye, he said t* the man in the doorway.

The man stood for an instant in the doorway looking after us. "Good-bye, he said.

We went along the road that from tho beginning of time it was ordained we were to go. I crept back Into my corner. "Do not go to sleep," the pleasant voice warned me from the front.

Thank you," I replied, cheered and warmed by its hearty glow. "I will not go to sleep."

Then followed a long silence in which I had views of the mlling snow, the white hills above us, the white hills still below us, in which I heard sounds from creaking, crooning branches, from the wind sweeping savagely past us. Then unconquerable drowsiness, fhst coming darkness—then night.

I felt a hand on my face, then on my shoulder, shaking me roughly a sweet, cheering voice in my ears, calling me back to life.

If you go to sleep now, yon won't wake up again," it said. I woke with a sudden start for an in stant, to a full consciousness of time and place. I was not eold only sleepy. "I am quite awake," I replied, "Have we far to go?"

Five miles," and the voice was still the same cheery voice that I had heard from the first. Ho spoke to me often after that then I saw nim as in a dream fixing a blanket that he had taken froni the horse's back, to the hickory bows overhead to keep th© snow from driving in upon me, for I was covered with it up to my knees. As God is my judge, I did not then clearly know what he was doing, or I would lrnve stopped him, I did not feel cold, though I knew afterward that I was freezing, and I did not think Ac was cold. I did not think at all I was far past that. I had begun a longer journey than I had started upon

In that longer journey I dreamed of home, of the wondrous Christmas mira cle, the lighted tree of the glad faces of children, whose voices I heard. I heard one of them repeat two or three times, with startling distinctness, "We are lost." I was conscious that the child who said it had thrown herself into my arms, and was lying there, a dull, heavy weight. But asiae from that cr it was all bright and pleasant—this real terrible journey through the snow, over the rough, dangerous mountain road, in that far off December. The dream lasted a long while, through all that night and the day following, and the nighi following that.

When I awoke from it I was in a large room, which I had never seen before. There were piles of the softest blankets upon me, there was a great wood fire blazing on the hearth, and I had never felt so warm and comfortable in all my life. There were two strangers in the room, a man and a woman, whose faces wese kindly ones, but sorely troubled. When I stirred and they saw I recognized them, they came and stood by my bed. 'n

Where am I I queried. "At Ilum, in the house of the Methodist minister."

How long ha\je I been here "Since night before last. You came in the stage and the horse stopped before our door," the man said.

What day is this?" It is Christmas day," the woman reft in hers.

plied, taking my han I have been ill then Y«^" "There was a boy brought me here. Where is he?" "He is here too." The voice that said It was husky with tears, and the hand that held mine shook.

Has he been ill too?" Yes!" Is be better now He was never so well. He will never be ill ag&in.

I looked into the face of the woman who said this, and I saw that her eyes were ml with weeping.

I disengaged the hand she hold and turnod my face to the wall. The woman laid her hand upon my arm.

Yon must not feel like that. It Is better so. He had only one friend, and he is with Him this beautiful Christmas morning. Ho had no home here. It is Christmas day, and he in at home there."

I took in mine, tbo comforting band that lay upon my arm. "I would like to see him," tsaJ d. "He gave his life for me."

They took mo down afterward to what had been the family sitting room. There were warm red curtains at the windows a bright glowing carpet on the floor there were bunches of laurel ami holly scattered here and there, a dover all ww» the atmosphere of home.

They left me at the door. I went In and stood by the couch on which they had laid him. The eyes of tender blue were clawed former, the yellow hair was parted over the boyish brows, and still about the brave, sweet mouth the bright umile played, as It did at the first moment »t our meeting, when my implied doubt of him called it there, lie lay before me dead. In all the glow and ppomiae of his youth.

But the smite, which triumphed above death's rain, rebuked me. and as I stooped to kks the lips of the beautiful boy, I knew as well as man could know, that he was not dead that He who had ven more life to the Dead Girl and the ridow** son, had given it also to him and that he had only gone farther id# Journey than 1—into a sweeter, er, »»«re gracious life ilum lie had ever known.
