The Huron Expositor, 1884-01-18, Page 22 5 r- BRIGHTEST AND BEST. " Onl three days now to Christmas," said M Jones, joyfully ; " to merry Christ as." " Ah, it seems as if I could scarcely wait." The c ick -clack of the machines was keeping up a ooise like the descent of a gigantic hail -storm along the nar- row looms of the factory,the steambel.ts 'that su plied the motive; power were whirlin swiftly,and the workers, a n ranged row, rowP sat guiding the long strips of cloth under the glittering nee- dles. Outsi e, the December sky was al- ready d rkening for the storm -clouded suns_et,a d pines and cedars that fringed the mo. ,ntain side, were tossing their arms wi dly to the riind. Ruth arper's machine was next to that of ally Jones. '. Mer Christmas—is: it, then, so merry t you ?" she repeated, with a slight s iter " Oh, I forgot. You have a home.' " Yes,' nodded Mary. All our people are corn ng back to theroid homestead, to spend Christmas. We are to have a tree, just as if we were little children., and gra : dpa is to hang a_ present for each of u :on its branches. And we're to haveride over the hills, and a dance. h it will be fun.. But Ruth, why don' yon go home for Christmas?' she quest oiled,, eagerly. ' I hay no home," said Ruth, shrug- ging- her shoulders, "except at " Mrs. Liffert's.' Chris mas 'at a boarding-house," said.:.'Mary, with arched' eyebrows. 1"Oh, that can' be, pleasant at all." 1 Just th .n the foreman. came striding past.

And pi sentry the sixty,'' . or -seventy hands ar:. dispersing in all directions, some long iing and pelting each. other with snow balls. Some striving ageipst the (keen •orth-wrest wind.. Some. chis- tereal in Ii :tie knots—some all alone. Amongs these latter was Ruth Har- per, and : a she descended the steep mountain path, where the monster pines rust ed mysterirusly in the wind, she repeat : d to herself ; • " Merry Christmas ! It is 'merry'., to every one ut me. Why should I be shut out f om the general rejoicing of the world " And I will not be ! I'll make a m:rry Christmas for myself. I'll go to o' id Mrs. Cappel's,: the loneliest and most •ars :ken creature, except my- self, that I know of, and we'll. spend our Christmas together. Perhaps some human k indness and companionship will cheer her up a little. I am quite sure that it will do me good and keep me from- t ening into a mere lump of selfrsbnes ."- Ruth H rper went home and counted up her ale der stock of-money—not very much, "we , ay be sure—and in her own mind she ppointed it to various kindly uses. She had beenealo.ne all her life, this dark-ey ed factory girl.. • Her earliest associatia a had been the high, bleak walls and blue -checked uniform of an orphan a vlum. From the very be- ginning, life bad been a straggle with her.
