THE STRANGE GUEST.

| In little post town among the High
lands Of Scotland. far away from any grea
lefty there lived, a few years ago, a womal
much respected and well beloved. thougl
Iof lowly and humble fortune-one Mrs
Jean Anderson. She had been left
widow with one son. the youngest an,
last Of several promising children.
| She was poor. and her industry was tax
ed to the utmost to keepherself and he,
1son. who was fne clever lad, andl
him the education he ariently desired. :
At the early age of sixteen, Malcolm An
derson resolved to seek his fortune in ths
wide world, and become sailor. Fl.
made several voyages to India and China
and always like the good boy that he wal
brought home some useful presents to his
mother. to whom he gave large portion
of bis earnings.
But he never liked seafaring life, tho
he grew strong and stalwart in it; and
when about nineteen he obtained humble
position in large mercantile house in
Calcutta. where, being shrewd, enterpris-
ing and honest. like most of his country
men, he gradually rose to place of trust
and Importance, and finally to partner
ship. As his fortune improved his moth
er's circumstances were made easier. He
remitted money to secure to her the old
cottage home. repaired and enlarged with
a garden and lawn; and placed at her
command annually. a sum sufficient to
meet all her wants. and TO pay the wages
Of a faithful servant or rather companion;
for the brisk, independent old lady stoutly
refused to- be served by any one.
Entangled in business cares, Mr.. An
derson never found time and freedom for
IA long voyage and a visit home till at
last, failing of health, and the necessity
of educating bis children. compelled him
to abruptly wind up his affairs.a and return
to Scotland. He was then man some.
what over forty. but looking far older
than his years. showing all the usual ef-
fects of the trying climate Of India. He
was gray and somewhat bald. with here
and there dash of white in his dark an
burn beard; was thin and little bent,
but his youthful smile remained full OF
quiet drollery, and his eye had not lost all
its old aud gleeful sparkle by poriug over
ledgers and counting rupees.
He had married country woman, a
daughter of a Scotch surgeon. and had
two children, "A son and daughter. He
did not write to his mother that he was
coming home, as he wished to surprise
her, and test her memory of her sailor
boy. oThe voyage was made in safety.
One summer afternoon, Mr.. Malcolm
Anderson arrived With bis family at his
native town. Putting up ata little inn.
be proceeded to dress himself in suit Of
sailor clothes and then walked out alone by
a by path he well knew, and then through
a shady lane dear to his young, hazel nut
ting days. all strangely unchanged. he ap-
preached his mothers cottage He stop.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.


An old man totters on the road
Bow down with age and care;
His locks are white and float about
Like snow-hakes in the air.
The clouds are gath ring darkly round,
The night seems settling fast,
The wind sends forth moaning sound,
The owlets futter past.
The old man halts along the road,
He sees the gathering gloom
No hope has he-no power to stay
His fast approaching doom.
He sees the children pass him by,
And sadly turns his face;
He knows too well that he must die,
The New Year take his place.
He hears the children clap their hands
And shout aloud for glee, -.
He marks them hasten on their way
8 The glad New Year to see.
And then he hears the midnight chime
Ring out his fun raj knell
His life fades fast-he rests at last,
The New Year breaks the spell.
A little child now leads the way
His step is light and bold,
His hair is bright and floats about
Like threads of burnish'd d gold.
The clouds are passing swift away,
The morn seems soft and clear;
The night has pass d-the suns bright ra
Brings in the glad New Year.
Farewell Old Yearl your work is done,
A new one fills your place;
The darkest night will pass away
The morning dawn apace
We cannot bring the dead to life, -
Nor wasted hours recall;
But in the coming year we may,
Perhaps atone for all.

All through this touching little speech

All through this touching little speech
the widows eyes had been glistening. and
her breath coming fast; but at that word.
"mither." she sprang up with cry, and
tottering to her son. fell almost faintine
on his breast. He kissed her brow and
her lips, and her hands. the big tears slid
down his bronzed cheeks, while she clung
about his neck and called him by all the
dear old pet names. and tried to see in
him the dear old young looks. By and
by they came back. or the ghosts of them
came back. The form IN her embrace
grew comelier; love aud JOY gave it a
second youth. more stately and gracious
the first; she then and there buried dead
in her heart sweet. beautiful, peculiar
memory. It was moment of solemn
Pronunciation. in which she gave up the
fond maternal illusion she had cherished
so long. Then, looking up suddenly in
to the face of the middle-aged man who
had taken its place, she asked:
Where hae ye left the wife and

resurrection to fauld my idleness.
'.Now 'twould be unco' irksome But
go, my son, and bring me the wife,
hope l shall like her; and the BARNS
hope they will like me"
I have only to say that both the good
woman's hopes were realized. A very
happy family knelt down in prayer that
night. and many nights after in the Wild

woodbines were but outward signs and

The Source Of Dickens Scenes and Por-

The Source Of Dickens Scenes and Por.
traits.
The London Daily News, in reviewing
Forsters' Life of Dickens. says:
The publication of Mr.. Forster's .sirst
volume" will almost prove as great sur
prise to the world as the first appearance
of the first story which won fame for the
subject of the biography. No one ever
doubted that Mr.. Dickens drew from ac-
tual observation and experience many Of
the characters and scenes of his novels.
But no one suspected that he actually
lived through SO many of the most pain
full experiences WHICH moistened the eyes
of those who, reading of them in the pages
of fiction, believed them to be only the
imaginary sufferings of a novelist's hero
We now learn for the first time as a GER
tainty that Dickens actually knew the
very depths of poverty. It was he, and
not David Copper6eld, who sorted the
bottles, and was half starved and shabby,
and ashamed of himself for the company
which he found himself compelled to keep.
It was he who wandered through London
streets a poor little social outcast. Now
for the first time we seem to have learned
the secret of the individuality belonging
to all of Dickens really great novels
The effect of the exaggerated care which
surrounded the childhood of Montaigne
with luxury. which wakened him in the
morning with music. and made his early
life soft holiday, is not more evident in
his easy, pleasant. happy-valley medita-
tons, than is the schooling of the episode
of London poverty visible in the best
writings of Dickens. 1t would hardly be
too much to say that in that period Dick
ems accumulated his whole stock of mate
rials. his entire outfit for his career of
fortune and of fame. 1t was the intense
ly healthy and manly moral nature of the
boy, contrasting so much at times with
his ph hysical condition. that kept him sink
ing artistically into synicism and despon-
dency. as it kept him from plunging in
dividually into recklessness and debase-
ment.
All that Is striking. enduring, celebra-
ted in Dickens books would seem to have
been simply transferred there bodily out
of real life. All that is weak, defective
and evauescent in the way of portraiture
or reflection came from that inner consci-
BUSINESS which people once called imagina-
ton. For ourselves, however, we shall
not cease to believe that the ideal as well
as the real must go into a truly great
work of art. even though David Copper
field and Micawber are pictures taken
from models that then lived We are still
convinced that Shakespeare never knew
Hamlet in the flesh. and that Faust never
walked the streets of Frankfort. LEIPZIG
or Weimar

Hard Times and What Causes Them.


We are fast becoming a nation of
schemers to live without genuine work
Our boys are not learning trades; our
farmers sons are crowding into cities,
looking for clerkships and post Offices ;
hardly one American girl in each hun
|dred will do homework for wages. how
ever urgent her need SO we are sending
to Europe for workmen and buying of her
artisans millions worth of products that
we ought to make for ourselves. Though
our crop of rascals is heavy we do not
grow our own hemp; though we are over
run with lads who deserve Haggellation.
we import our willows. Our women (un-
less deceived) shine in European fabrics; !;
our men dress in foreign clothes; the toys
which amuse our younger children have
generally reached US over the sea. We
are like the farmer who hires his neigh
boris son to chop bis wood. feed bis stock,
and run bis errands. while his own boys
lounge at the grog-shop, playing billiards.
and then wonders why, in spite of his best
efforts. he sinks annually deeper and
deeper into debt, till the Sheriff cleans
him out, and he starts West to begin

We must turn over new leaf. Our
boys and girls must be taught to love
labor by qualifying themselves to do it
efficiently. We must turn out fewer pro-
fessionals and more skilled artisans. as
we'll al food growers. We must grow
