Spencer had som trimble in making

, ed. There were some ladies with whom.
• ' he had so slight an 4cpeaintance, that he
did_ not know wheth r he -ought to call
on them or not, and he settling of this
important question Ook -much thought
and time. Bat his rincipal doubt and
his geratest perplex -1 y were in regard to
the order of his calls. Which should. be
the place of honor in his list? Should
he eall on Miss Astoria Von Wirt early
, in the day, or wait until the. afternoon ?
He was particularly Ianxious to make a

she think more of hi if he exhibited a
certain eagerness and came early in the
day, or if he made 1 is appearence late
in the evening, apP:a.rently overborne

He had niet eettlec . this point, when
the little four -dollar lock on the man-

Spencer's heart was maved with pity,
and he went over be speak t� the .poor
people; A man in the group looked
around at him .as he approached.-
.
It was' Mallory, his
- .Speneer'e heart fell within him.
Was—was . that ‘your house, Mr.
Mallory?"
The man nodded his head, His heart
was too full for words.. •
" And was !there L nothing—nothing
Saved ?"--asked Spencer.
Mallery shook his he d. "Not a thine,"
he whispered.
Spencer stood by hinl'in silence. An
ominous chill spreal itself over him. Di-
rectly, when the crowd had partially
dispersed, he and Mallory went over and
looked -in upon the mass of embers. All
was heat, and ashes; and colds, and
smoke, and here and there a bit Of char-
red and smoldering broadcloth.
Spencer took Mallory by the b and,
pressed it, and walked swiftly toward
his home. Mallory ran after him, and
• took him by the aa'ne.

It was of no use to work any longer

no money for another coat It had been
very hard to save enough to buy the
• cloth for that one, and Mallory had pro-
•• raised to wait a month for the pay for
the making of it. Th only good coat he
• had belonged to a busijiess spit. It was
• blue. " diagonal," b4md with braid,
with flap -pockets and gutta-percha but-
• tons: It was, warm nd very durable,
• but he couldn't mak _calls in it. So
he pat his list in the stove, and went to
dt was a bright, fine day, the first of
•January of that yearand as Spencer sat
• in his little room, after breakfast, and
pat his head out of lthe window and
breathed the frosty, invigorating air, and
looked up at the bright blue sky, with
the sunlight playing on the slate roofs
• and tali chimneys of the opposite houses,
he felt encouraged, revivified:
"1 won't be cheated out of my holi-
day," he said; " take a walk; and •
Pll make a call. 1 will go and see A unw
Waterbury. She won't mind a diagonal
coat."
And it so happened that about ten
o'clock that Morning Spencer sat in
Aunt Waterbury's little parlor. It was
a very small parlor, am there were ger-
aniums in the window and all the little
china figures on the antel-piece; and
all the temperance pict res and Prodigal
Son prints on the wal s, were covered
with gauze, to keep th flies off in sum-
! mer, and dust and s4ioke in winter.
There was a pleasant little fire in the
• grate, and there was a big turkey -tail
fan behind a brown -an -white china dog
on the inantel-piece..
Aunty Waterbury was at home, of
course, and she was Eio delighted to see
Spencer that she did not know exactly
What to say. She shook both his hands,
and she kissed him. Why shouldn't she?
She had kissed him often enough when
he was a little boy, and she me,4,e to

" Oh, no, indeed, said Aunty Water-
bury, "but I've always got some lemona
in the house, and generally a mince -pie,
too, for that matter." • ,
And so they sat and enjoyed them-
selves. The old, lady did the, most of
the talking, and the young man did the
most of the listening. The miuce-pie
was excellent, but the lemonade was 'too
liberally sugared for Spencer's taste. It
was as sweet as the USee of adversity ---
even sweeter, if the truth was told. But
Spencer drank it.' He would have swal-
lowed almost anythingto please Aunt
Waterbury: - • • -
" Now, Spencer," said she, "" I don't

- After time,- apparently a little 'ner-

I supposed one clay ,would do just as
well for her 'itai another, 'but I see she

And'now the old ladyreappeared, her
face a little red, as if she had been look-

• We are accustomed, to believe that
history is sure to stamp with its true
value the names that have flashed with
a brilliancy puzzling to contempor ries,
who doubted whether it was the Ater
of cheap tinsel or the splendor ' of pure
gold. It is questionable, howev r if
history will ever solve the riddle e 'the
" Sphynx of„ the Tuileries." There will
always be those who will point to the
•Success which the penniless adventurer,
who landed in Prance in 1848, ach *eyed
and maintained, and will insist -the this
success was the true measure o his
greatness. To these the men who ade
himself Dictator of France; iho humbled
Russia, defeated Austria, and mad Ita-
ly possible, will remain forever the aisar
of the nineteenth century. And yet,
when these have demonstrated his re.at-
nee's, others will show bow this duII in-
triguer, raised. to the Preside]) 'of
France by the mere accident o his
name, made himself Emperor b • the
coarse wielding of tools that lay ad.y
to his hand, and, in attempting to sus-
tain the reputation that cha,nce ha giv-
en bun was baffled by Cavour and
beaten by Bismarck. Was he -the eat
man that the world believed him fter
fl.,
the battle of Magenta, or was he the
wretched actor who was hissed o the
stage at Sedan? If history can decide
this problem, it is more then the wisest
men of the present day have found them --
Selves able to elo.
As to Napeleon the man, as distin-
uished from. _Napoleon the ,Emperor,
there has been, and probably always
will be, a like irreconcilable differente of
ppinion. -Mr. Kinglake proves to the
satisfaction of his readers that Na leon
was cowardly, cruel, and false. a one
denieS that he shot down men and wo-
men on the Boulevards during the oup
l'etot, or that he sent hundred of
Frenehinen to die in the pestile tial
Marshes of Cayenne. That he bete yed.
Italy at Villafranca, and insulted he • by
the prolonged occupation of Ron;, is
believed by every Italian. The d ath
of Maximilian is laid at his door, and
the Fi ench 'Republican charges him ith
he systematic corruption of public and
private *meals- throughout the Em ire.
On the other hand, his admirers wil as-
ert that the fusillades of Dece 1 ber

nother 'Commune ; that the threat4ned.

Yon 'don't tell me ! Is it possible?
Are you sere now that you don't remem-

The young lady and Spencer were both -
now getting very mucheni aresse an
the plate of taffy trembled ea' Made in
the hand of the* former, that Aunty
Waterbury stepped forward and tescued
-it. '
Why, you certainly remember him,
Hattie, don't you?",
" No," said she " should have
known who he was if you had net told
me down -stairs. When I knew him, he
was a little boy and wore roundabouts."
Ands he blushed a little, and laughed -a
little, and Aunty Waterbury laughed. a
great deal.
"Yes, indeed," said the old lady, "he
didn't have tails to his coat. then."
"Bother tails !" thought Spencer.
And he could not help thinking what a
different tail he would have had to Es
coatif it had not teen for that fire.
And now the old lady took pity on
him • "Why, doo't you remember Hat-
tie ?• she saad.
" Hattie !"
Of course he remetnbered ,Hattie, but
- he did not remeinlcer this beautiful girl.
There was no reason Why 'he should. It
had been eight or nine years since he had
• seen the old lady's niece.
They did not long retnain strangers :
the taffy made them acquainted. It was
just the same kind. of -butter-taffy they
used to eat wheu they were boy and air]
together, and when _Aunty Waterbury
livEd in the little house in North
IBill-
1 where there was the same turkey -
fan over the mantel -piece in the parlor,
arid the same china figures, and the same
Prodigal Son, covered, it seemed to
Spencer, by the same gauze, as he saw
here to -day.
They had dinner in the middle of the
day at Aunt Waterbury's, and now, as
it waseso near noon, Spencer, might as
well stay, arid while tits old lady went
down -stairs to -see to the boiling and bak-
ing, Spencer and Hattie sat and talked
• of old times, and ate taffy. The taffy
- was very good, but' it was sticky,i and
Spencer reflected that he would notihave
been quiite so free with it if he had had a
steel pen coat on, but a little butter
and molasses don't matter so mach „on a
plain diagonal with flap -pockets. And
so they sat and talked, and spoiled their
appetites.
After dinner the three came up into
parlor again, and Spencer made himself
as comfortable as if he were sitting for
caamany himself. Having no further
calls on his mind he forgot it was New
Year's day, and if the ladies .thought
that he ought not to be neglecting his
other friends for them, they were too
polite to say so., But it is doubtful if
any such an idea entered their mind. As
for Spencer, he was in a state of great
satisfaction. He seemed to live in two
periods at once. His mind went back
to the delightful days in .North Billford,
when he and Hattie were so much young-
er, and. at the same time he, seemed to
project himself into the future, into i
some delightfal place or other, when he
and Hattie should be but a little older 1
than on that delightful New Year's af-
ternoon. The fact was, he had Hattie ,
by the hand as she sat beside him, and she
did not seem to object. Perhaps it put
her in mind of old tirnes, and perhaps— N
but it wouldn't do to go too far into that 1
style of thought, How could, he tell ,
what she was thinking? • At any rate, 1 c
he knew what he was thinking.
"Oh. blessed fire !" lie ejaculated, h
after a little silence.
Yes, indeed !" said Aunty Water- a
bury, looking with complacency at the
glowing coals' in her well -tilled grate, "a w
fire is just the blessedelit thing" • t
Spencer agreed with her. And in the s

He used to be a very handsome fellow,
with a truly princely deportment, drunk
or sober; but I merely speak figurative-
ly—he never was drunk ; he did not
hold enough. All Ins features were fine,
and he had a Roman noze that was a
model of beauty and grandeur. He was
Wine full of spirit, pluele and enterprise;
his head was full of brains, and his speech
was facile and all alive with. point
