"Do- you still remember that Christmas eve, child?" Ilse noodecl silently, hiding her face on Line's shoulder. The latter must certeiniy have practised some witch- craft, for not forty-eight hours after, "somebody " rang our door -bell ; it was a very different sound from usual—at first faint, so that the note was feeble and timid., then impatient, almost im- perious. Whoever understands the language of bells might have thought, as I did, that the agent had sent us word that we had drawn the great prize in a lottery. But when I arrived the door had already been opened, and in the hall stood Line fooking at her own door. "May I come into your room a little while?"she asked. " Somebody is in mine with Ilse." "Indeed. Who is it ?" " Oh, you shall soon hear I" She drew me into my room with her, sat down by the window, and did not utter a word, until at last the " some- body " appeared, leading by the hand the pale young girl, whose face was bright with joy. Women certainly have the gift of match -making ! "Line, where did you get that fellow? Countess, do you really mean to be plain Frau Klauss ? It was -event*, and they were both in the greatest possible hurry. Ernest bought the old house, and fitted it up into a pretty little neat for his young wife. " Stylish," of course; on that point the young architect is a little— pardon me. It really looks very pretty, and it is cosy and pleasant to sit in the wainscotted rooms, by the green Dutch - tile stove, while the wind rattles the panes, and the old elm trees rustle out- side, 1 often go over there, and tell the - children about a little girl that could not he comforted for the loss of her old doll, though she received a new and far handsomer one. Ilse always laughs merrily, and the children chime in. Hark ! There they are! " Ceme in, the tree will be ready directly." "The children must say their prayer now," the young mother Bays gravely, and, the boy and the little girl, who is just learning to talk, clasp' their tiny hands and repeat : " The child that's born to -day, Christ Jeans, Saviour dear, Keep us from error's way, Guide; thou our hearts while here." "Amen, children." Then the bell on the other side of the hall rings. They run eagerly forward, but Ilse leans on my arm. " Do you =remember," she asks, " six years ago, when He gefided my heart also into the right path ?" "Yes, my little daughter. The shrill peal of the belI is yet ringing in my ears. Again the words died on my lips ; the bell was jerked so hurriedly. Go in, children, come soon ; but didu't I say so ? .At the very beginning, too? Even on Christmas eve 'we doc- tors have no rest !" " What is it ?". " What ? Widow Merker's son, the - soldier, has arrived on leave of absence. Will it do the sick „woman any harm if he goes to her bed -stn?" " Heaven forbid !

He kept a store and saw mill, a d was always sure to have the best of a bargain on his side, by which means e had gained an ample competency, a d some did not hesitate to call him "t biggest rascal in the world." He w conceited withal, and used to delight brag of his business capacity whenev anyone was near to lieten. One rai day, as quite a number were sea around the stove in the store, he bega as usual; to tell his great bargains, a at last wound up with the expressio " Nobody has ever cheated me, nor th can't neither." "Judge," said an old man °Utile co pany, "I've cheated you inor'n you ever did me." "How so," asked the judge. " If you'll promise you wont go to 1 about it, nor do nothing, tell, or e se I won't ; you are too much of a 1 w character for nee." "Let's hear ! let's hear !" cried h if a dozen voices. "I'll promise," said the judge, " treat you in the bargain." " Well, do you remember that wa, you robbed me out of ?" " I never robbed you out of any w on" exclaimed the judge, " I only the best of a bargain." " Well, I made up my mind to hay back and—" " You never did," interrupted cute judge. " Well, you see, judge, I sold you day a very nice pine log, and bargai with You for a lot more. Well, t log I stole off your pile, down by -s mill, the night before, and the next I sold it to you. The next night I di it back home, and sold it to you next day ; and so I kept on until bought your own log from me twe seven times."

Saved by Kindness. We find the following story in the col - um of the Susquehanna Transcript " Some 10 or 12 years ago there Was employed in the office of the late S S. Merrill, the General Manager of th St. Paul Railroad Company, a cler in whom complete confidence was repo ed. -fie was intrusted with many of the cor- poration's secrets, and given the h nd- ling of funds in large amounts. U for- tunately, the young man began so ing his wild oats, found his salary ins ffi- cient to support his extravagance, and frequently abstracted small amo tits from the railway -company's fund to meet s the deficiency. These amo nts gradually increased in size until the young man, realizing the positio he for o a The Mr. Atlantic were cabled, and the young man's arrest ordered. This was suc- cessfully accoinplished, the clerk was returned to America and transferred to the custody of the railway company's agent. To that official a fall confes- sion was made,• and, finding himself com- pletely in the compeny'e power, the young mau calmly contemplated his fate, expecting nothing leas than a state - 'prison sentence. " He was quietly taken before Mr. Merrill, who' -to his complete surprise, approached him 'pleasantly, took him warmly by the hand, and said : . Well, back again, I ,see. Sorry you stayed away so long, as we needed you. Had a good time though, I hope. Now, G—, your desk is just as you left it. No one has disturbed a paper, and you can get to work at once. Here, look over these accounts, and see that they are properly checked.' 4! The young man, dumbfounded at thi reception, as in fact was the special agent, burst into tears, and could not fully realized the situation, until Mr. Merrill again broke in with : Come, what are you doing there ? Get into that chair as quick as you can and check those accounts. And, by the way, I don't want to hear a word regarding cer- tain events of recent date, which you perhaps know of.' " The young Irian did go to work, be- gan a new lifeeattended to his duties as he never •had before, advanced himself in rank as a railway employe, made good to the company the amount he had stolen, and several years later left the company with as good a letter of recom- mendation as any man ever received. He, to -day, occupies a prominent po- sition with one of the leading railways of the country, and for it thanks his old employer, S. S. Merrill." Well Met. A man of middle age entered the office of an evening paper yesterday to seek employment. "What can you do ?" inquired the city editor. - " Write leading articles." " Next room, please," and the ,city man resumed work on a pile of copy. "What can you do ?"asked the editor- in-chief. " Write leading editorial articles." " Did you ever work on a newspaper before ?" ," No," said the applicant contempt- uously, 'hut sure I'm reading 'em eince I was the height of your knee !" e , ‘‘ s I'm wearing boots since I was four, o and I can't make a pair yet !" said the editor. Applicant disappears. r d. d y d on ot it he ne ed at UT ay ew he fou ty- in- The Irishman and Polly. A young Irishman visited Rome,, and there met a friend and fellow -country mau who was pursuing the avocation of butcher. The butcher acted as guide ; and this is a part of Pat's story of sight- seeing, as told to his sweet -heart on his return : " The most wonderful thing I saw in Rome Was a shtone man." "A• shtone man !" ejaculated Mary, ",Yes," replied Pat ; "and they call- ed him the Polly Beleedere. As we were looking at the -ehtone man, say the butcher to me, says he : Pat, you and the Polly Belvedere are very much aloike.' And be that, we measured. I was broader than him in the fut, but he was higher than me in the inshtep. I was larger than hirn around the ankle, but he had me in the calf of the leg. My knee was larger than his, but he wasbetter than me in the thigh. My belt was twice as- large around as his bat his brist was twice as large around .as mine. Then, •again, my neck was much larger than his but his head will much larger than mine. But, as butcher said, on the general averag we were just 'about the same thing."

"I sent three men to work as porters to -day for $2 a week, including luncheon. You stare. Of course $2 is nothing to us, but the man who won't work for that much and six square meals a week will have to struggle in New York. No matter how small the wages, you can al- ways get men to accept them ; but you cannot always get a man who has held a high position to accept, a lower one ; they will starve to death first. I mean this literally ; they will undergo the awful horrors of starvation before they will throw away their pride. It is the ruling spirit, you know.
