What Might Have Happened One
christmas Time.

TIE LAST STORY WRITTEN BY MARK LEMON.
Christmas was coming. There were indica-
tions of its approach everywhere. The grocers,
the butchers, and fancy empOriums all pro-
claimed Christmas coming. At the rail- way
stations there was more than the usual hustle
more wagons going TO and fro, more cabs for
down trains, more pleasant faces; fewer looking
business nothing but business No doubt of
it, Christmas was coming.
Where for, sir :?
Little Stanford.
What class, SIR!
Second. Put my rug and portmanteau into
the carriage, and here's something for you
The traveller was a handsome, well-fOrmed
young man of two-and-twenty, one who evil
IDENTIFY was prepared TO look the world in the
face aud to force his way onwards His name
was Reginald Wainwright.
Having paid the cabman, Reginald entered
the station, and, taking his ticket, went on to
the platform. A neat brougham drove up and a
young man got out.
Where for, sir!
Little Stanford
What class-hrst, sir!
Yes, first
Have your things in with you sir?
Yes-thanks.
And the new conner having spoken a few
words to his servant, entered the station, and,
obtaining his ticket, went on to the platform.
His name was Walter Mainwaring. In minute
or two the young men confronted each.
iAh, Reginald, exclaimed Walter, holding
out bis hand, which the other took some what
slowly, glad to have met you. Why, I've not
seen You since our days shooting on the 1st.'
No. replied Reginald, coldly London is a
vast city; the distance is great between Charges
street and FinsbBry Square
1T is you that make it so, Regi, said Walter
smiling. You know that nv father, sister, ali
of us are most glad to see you
'Wel, III believe so but lonely fellow is
apt 70 grow captious, especially when only 4
clerk in merchants counting-h house.
And what am l. Cousin Regii' replied Walter
The governor keeps me to the desk as closely
as though were stranger
Quite right You will have leisure enough
he thinks when he makes you his partner
TAX your places, take your places bawlet

@fHFS ArD THE GHOSTS.

Bard, warrior, statesman, and divine,
And natrons stately, maidens fine,
Once loudly toasted DER the wine,
Until the rafters rang.
At Christmas-tide, they say, each year,
The list'ning peasants vow they hear,
While lights CLEAN in the nall
Strange music beautiful and clear;
And aye avoid in dread and fear
The gray and ruind wall!
One Christmas-tide at the dead of night,
When the moon was high and the snow lay
On meadow and hill,
SO quiet and still,
That the world seemd sleeping
The wind seemd dead,
When the stars were keeping
Their watch oerhead,
A troop of villagers, all intent
On caro-singing, their footsteps bent
From house to house; and wherever they went
Sang the tidings OF JOY, which long ago
TIE shining angels in glory bright
Told aloud in the midst of the night
To the shepherds keeping their focks below.
o Giles! 0 Giles! o faithless Giles
What are you doing there on the tiles?
Your grandmother sad
When you went TO bed,
She hoped you had quite got out of your head
The notion you had,
Disobedient lad,
OF joining the carollers. This is too badl
Now she's asleep,
From your bed you creep,
And out on the roof-it is some what steep
And slippery-see how the snow-hakes glisten-
You sit and listen
To learn whereabouts the carollers are.
You had better 90 back to bed by far,
Or something will happen, sure as fate,
To make you repent, when it's all too late!
In vain!
1t is plain
That he will not refrain.
Cautiously down the roof he crawls,
And not without some stumbles and falls
Reaches the ground
All safe and sound,
And hurries away with stride and bound.
Harki there's music in the wood.
He's hurrying thither, by all that's good!
How very absurd!
For the boy has heard
A thousand times that tue hall is haunted;
But on he goes and never feels daunted,
For he says to himself as he goes along,
That ghosts there may be
OF men, but he'
Neer heard in his life of the ghost of song;
That whatever sprites
In the winter nights
Perchance may revisit the glimpse of the moon,
There's no ghost of chance for ghost of q
tune.
The hall is bright
With many "a light
And noble lady and noble knight
AS if from it's frame
Each picture came,
BY two and two,
A strengthening crew
Are going the country-dance mazes through.
Yonder maid
In her grave was laid
About the time of the last Crusade
The gentleman near
Was q Cavalier,
And was kild by an Ironside severe.
The beautiful blonde
Standing beyond
Was one of whom Harry the Eighth was fond.
Her partner, ! guess,
Ie nobody less
Than Lord High Admiral, temp.
Queen Bess:
But what is that, there
Crouchd down by chair
With chatteripg teeth and bristlng hair
Itis-No Yes Truly tits Giles declare,
Wishing himself, you may safely swear,
In the cupboard or under the stair
ADywhere-anyw nywhere-anywhere!
He tainted away,
And there he Law
Till somebody found him at break of day.
They put him to bed,
And they shaved his head,
Twas very bad case of fever they said.
And they would not receive
At all, or believe
The story he told
Of the Manor House old,
And the wonderful sight he had CHANGED to be
