A SAD CHRISTMAS.

A room is opened np, at one end of which are half a dozen musicians playing loud selections of popular dance music. Around the room are tables, at which sit men and women and a few mere boys and girls drinking, shouting, laughing, and applauding the dancers, who mimic the revels of notorious Parisian gardens. Gilding and glittering '.mirrors and gaudy pamtmake the room bright. The music is noisy, the Honors fiery, and the associations of the worst. Language that none of these, boys have ever heard in their homes is repeated by one and another, painted women outdoing the oldest and most hardened men in their vileness of utterances. "Look at this hoy9 Suddenly breaking away from his companions on the ball-room floor, a young lad walked rapidly and unsteadily . into the open air. He was hardly twenty years old, handsome and refined in appearance, but flushed with liquor and showing lines of dissipation already on his boyish face. Intoxication showed in his walk and in the dishevelled, untidy appearance of his dress and hair ; but as he came into the clear starlight, and the fresh, cold night air struck his face, it seemed to recall his senses, and he looked upward with, despair and remorse in his gaze. His thoughts were audible to the two who watched him tor the magic of Christ rnastide was spread over him by thesaint. "Yes, it is "Christinas" thought the boy, "and in the old farm-house en the hill they are looking for me to-night .

Mother is there praying for her oldest boy, little thinking of what I have come to. Father is there, as proud as he ever was of me, and all the children are looking for the Christmas box I was to bring them; and Alice is looking for me.too, God help her. And T what have I done ? I dare not go, for I cannot leave my books for others to examine. This is my Christmas, and this is what I have come to by "seeing life." God help me, there is no hope unless I can win back what I have stolen." A burst of song and discordant laughter, and the confused sound of glasses clinking and the ringing voices of young girls came through the half open door behind him, and he shuddered and turned away. "This is what I have bartered my honor for," he muttered hoarsely, and he walked swiftly uj the street to the next corner, and passing a policeman, who stood on the sidewalk talking to a painted, gay ly dressed woman, he sprang up the steps of a brown stone house and ran the bell. An obsequious servant admitted him, after peeping through a' hole in the door, and the boy passed into the parlor, where there were a dozen men playing faro. He won and lost and won again ; but Satan was dealing the cards and was not to - be : cheated of his stakes, and all he had was lost. Honor had gone before it. The unequal duel was over, and the boy reeled over to the side-board and drank a glass of brandy. Who shall wonder that the next morning his body is taken from the river to the Morgue?

A. Man "Who toft Ail to His Motlier-in-Iaw Chicago Herald. Jennie Clark, of Philadelphia, and Elizabeth Johnson of Louisville, were nieces of Robert McClelland. Robert McClelland - died September 27 of this year, leaving as his heirs a brother, H ugh and two nieces above mentioned. By the will deceased left about 60,000 worth of real estate and personal property to Orpha M, Dougherty and her four children The most remarkable thing about this matter is that Mrs. Dougherty was the mother-in-law of the deceased. In the Circuit Court yesterday Jennie Clark and Elizabeth Johnson, filled their bill of complaint in which they relate the above facts and ask to have the will set aside and the property divided among the heirs-at-law. Christmas Thoughts Irom Dickens It is good to be children sometimes, and never , better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child himself. I -will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year. Christmas is the. only holiday in the year that brings the whole human family into common communion. Christmas is a time in which the memory of every remediable sorrow, wrong and trouble , in the world around us should be active with us. We were put here on earth to develop, and we can't do it by going up into the attic and slamming the door after us, and reading the catechism ; we have got

to go where people are the thickest, and pitch in. How to Live Easily. The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means. Guard against the notion that, because pleasure can be purchased with money, therefore , money cannot be spent without enjoyment. What a thing costs a man is no true measure of what it is worth to him, and yet how often is his. appreciation governed by no other standard, as if there were a pleasure in the expenditure per se! Feel a. want before you provide against it. You are most assured that it is a real want, and it is worth while to feel it a little in order to feel the relief irom it. Christmas Charity. "Christmas comes but once a year," and when it does come those who have the means should give liberally to the poor and needy, so that the festive season shall not be one of unalloyed misery to thosewhose lines are not cast in pleasant places. Many worthy persons ainong us are suffering from want. They should be sought and their necessities relieved. The street beggars are not those who feal the woes of poverty most. The greatest sufferers try to hide their wretchedness from the world. Christmas should not find the honest poor without something for which to be thankful for. The Duke of Argyll and Marquis of Lorne, father and soil, have been given the two vacant garters.

There is a legend to the effect that every Christmas morning, just at break of day, a band of spirits come from above, and hover over the earth.

t

Just at dawn of Christmas morning, Ere the sunbeams kiss the day, Comes a band of happy "api As Sounding: forth a joyous lay.

Soft the blast of trumpet sonndeth, Sweet and clear the viol's ring:, While the harptfeord'a heavenly music Gently vibrates o'er each strimj.

Cherob voices lead the chorns, Floating downward irom above, And proclaim the welcome tidings Ofa Saviour's watch faQlove. And how on each Christmas morning, When the world incumber lies. He sends his band with joyous greeting: From his home up xa the skies. V Peace and good will t all mankind Is the burden of their song That resounds from dome to spire, Echoed from the spirit throng. ; ' . . . ' f thou bright and happy spirits Welcomeharbingera of light f Spread thy soft wings, ever o'er us, Guide our wandering steps aright.'

Let us hail the Merry Christmas, With its wealth of goodly cheer, For it brings the heavenly anthems To our hearts and souls more near.,

her like a flash, "It's Christmas day! " "Bessie, wake up! Merry Christinas V She cried, and in half a minute four little bare feci were pattering down stairs to the sitting-room after the Christ ua stockings. They hadn't a doubt of finding them full. Santa Clous had never forgotten them yet You can imagine, then, their dismay when each little girl clasped a limp and empty stocking, with not so much as a sugar-plum to fill out the toe. They ran to mamma's bed-room, to pour out their complaints. 'Santa Claus forgot us!" cried till with starting teal's. "He didn't bring us any tiling?91 said Bessie, throwing herself across her mother's feet in an agony of grief. "I think it's too bad!" said Lilt "He's .teal mean. I'll never like him again !" said Bessie. "Oh, go back to bed," said mamma. "You've got up too. early. How do you expect Santa Glaus can always get round before- daylight ? There are such number of little boys and girls, the wonder is that he gets round at all. He'd never forget you, I'm sure. Go back, and curl -down in bed till it's really light Then

gel; up and dress yourselves nicely, before you come down, and you'll see what you'll :ee." Kather disconsolate, the little girls went back to bed. "You needn't feel so bad, Bessie Bradley, Haven't you lound out morc'n a hundred times, that mamma knows

aoout things better'n we do?" said Lilt "I ain't feelin' bad, any more'n you are, and Santa Glaus is coming in 'bout nine or eight minutes," said Bessie. While waiting for daylight they talked of the presents they hoped to have, and as soon as the sun peeped above the horizon they were up, and putting on their clothes as quickly as possible, went down stairs. There was nobody in the sitting-room. A fire was bunting in the grate, and the stocldngs hung against the mantel, but they still looked limp. They were not near enough to be sure that they were empty, when a loud "Toot! toot! toot!" sounded from somewhere with a jingling of bells, and a tramping of feet . "He's coming! Oh, Lill Bradley, old Santa's a coming!" said Bessie clinging to her sister's skirts. Lill held her breath, and said nothing. The door flew open, and in bounced Santa Claus, sure enough. He wore a very furry coat, and a red cap, high and pointed at the top, and bound with fur. His eyes were hidden behind great silver-rimmed spectaclesvand his hair and beard were, and wnlte as snow. Mamma came out of the bed-room just then, and Bessie and Lill sidled up to her, and caught each one of her hands, feeling half afraid of the queer, "jolly old elf," and then stood, silent and watching. The great pack upon Santa's back didn't seem to be empty yet, and there was packages peeping out of every pocket, out of the breast of his coat, and even out of his sleeves. He seemed in a tearing hurry. . ... "Whew! whew!" said he. "This is the first chance I've had to take breath since I started out last night. So many youngsters to visit this year ! I thonght I should never get round. Whew! how hot it is here. Well, let's see!" He whirled the pack from his back, down on the rue, and began rummaging vigorously among the packages within it. "Only two stockings to fill here, and little ones at that. I've lot of presents left 07er.' He drew out a package, held his head on one side with a funny little grimace as he peeped into it, and then thrust it into IjII's red stocking. ."That a doll, I know!" whispered Lill, squeezing her mother's hand. A similarpockage went into Bessie's blue one. Then other, smaller packages till the stockings would hold no more. All the time ne worked he kept jerking out funny little speeches about the children and their wants, as if he knew all about them. Lill and Bess were in a state of joynil excitementj Lill thought there was something familiar . about the voice, or the mot ions, or something ; she couldn't tell wha t. "1 believe I've seen him before! Else I dreamed I did ! Else he's some like lather !? she whispered. Her mother laughed aloud at this. It made old Santa look up from his work and he seemed to espy the little group in the corner for the first time. "Bless my stars!" he ejaculated, beginning to gather up hastily from the rug the parcels that had fallen out of his pack. ., "Bless my stai'3 and s(ripes! Folks musnlt see me about this business!" He threw his pack over his back, and then putting his side pockets, drew them out full, ana a shower of sugar-plums pelted the little girls as he hurried out of the room. Just as he was going he threw a pig package at their mother, saying, "That's for the old lady, there ! Came pretty near forgetting her." Lill knew the voice in which this was said, and cried out, "It's papa 1 It'sMpa !" They sprang alter him, and led him back into the room, in laughing trimnph. And they, took off the pointed can and the blue spectacles they brushed the flou? from Ids eyebrows, and rubbed the red from his cheeks, They robbed him of the pillow that made him so "chubby and . plump," and the gray wig and beard that made him look so venerable. And when thejr came to examine the contents of the stockings they were more than ever delighted to nave for a Santa Claus their own dear father.

Women for llusincss What women need to make them business like is to be brought into contact

with business, to hear it talked about, to

be expected to manage their small affairs

in a business-like way. The farmer gives his little boy a calf and hif little girl a lamb, and accustoms them not merely to the care ot the animal, but to

ncte its market value and the changes in that value at different times. So. it geemp to me, every business man should

put into the hands of each of his daughters some small piece of property a milroad simrc for Instance, and teach her to observe its fluctuations in value and ask their cause; and to learn by personal experience the difference between p.invlpai and Interest. 1 once , heard Mrs. D. Cheney sav - that her father did this for his daughters, but 1 never heard ;f any other instance. It ought to be a common thing. If girls are to be rich they need this kinds of knowledge; if poor they need it still more. It will not interfere with the ideal aide of natme; poets and artists, so far as I have seen, are as practical as other people but it will prevent that hopeless dependence for the simplest business matter imon the nearest man which so often makes culti

vated women the object either o, pity or

of 1raud.

Murphy has phenomenal skill in driving trotters, and his honesty is absolutely unimpeachable. They tell a story about him to the effect that when his father, a square and straight horseman, was dying young Johnny, was called to his bedside. The boy was then just entering his teens, but he displayed considerable ability in his knowledge of horse flesh, and his father had great confidence in him. The old man took Ms son's Lands in e.icli of his and said: "Johnny, if you ever drive anything but a straight race I'll rise out of my grave and haunt you to the day of your death!" Then he slowly died, with his eves fixed unon those of his son, John
