and Sybii had folded tie soft covers
over him, she knelt where she had
bent a few hours before over the va
cant be, and prayed God to aid her
to till a mothers place 10 the little
one she had taken under her roof
that night. Tears fell as she prayed.
| but in ber heart was q new peace, a
new hope, and Elsie softly crept
away, sure that the cure she had
hoped to effect, was already proving
blessing.
Many times in the night Sybil
came to the bedside of the orphan
boy. Upon the little table she spread
Christmas toys and books. From
the wardrobe aud bureau she pre-
pared warm, pretty garments, and al
ready her heart was planning for a
future, she had thought must be
spent i'll tears.
When the sun streamed in at the
window, she rose. and dressed herself
and went again TO Ereddie's room.
Sitting upright in the bed, with
flushed face and large wide open
blue eyes, the child was trying to re-
alize his new surroundings. Sybil
had learned his name; so she said, in
a sweet winning voice,
"Charlie!"
oh" he cried, with a long deep
breath, 'did KISS Kringle bring me
here to stay"
"ShouId you like to stay, and be
MY little boy?"

ma to heaven, and lie has taken my
little boy there too. L am all alone,
Charlie, with no little boy to love,
unless you will let me be your mann
ma"
The child pondered moment with
a great gravity upon his sweet baby
face.
Are they angels, +" he asked, "mam-
ma and your little boy"
"Yes, dear!!"
''It is very nice here, but will you
kiss me and love me as my own mann
ma did if stay"
For answer Sybil took him in her
arms and pressed warm loving kisses
upon the trembling lips, till the boy
clasped her close and said,
Il will stay and love you dearly,

1t Hasn't Any Mother.

a few years ago, little dark-eyed
orphan hoy came to my house to stav
a few weeks. There was a little kit
ten about the house continually pok-
ing its nose into places forbidden,
and thereby calling down upon its
head the wrath of the houseleeper.
Several times it had been sent whirl-
ing through the ward. One day. when
/, had thus been treated, Willie be-
held the scene. He took the kitten
up in his arms, stroking its back ten
derby. and came into the house. His
dark eyes were full of tears. Pity
and Indignation mingled in all his
tones when he said. You must be
kind to the little kittie now, for it
hasn't got any mother!"
Later in the evening, Willie lay
asleep on the carpet, in one hand a
knife, and in the other half eaten
apple. Directly the kitten came in,
and went whining around, until it
saw Willie, when, without delay, it
ceased it's piteous mewing, crawled
up close to his bosom, and went to
sleep too.

Twas earliest autumn: up the road
To where the shade trees blended.
And where the gatl e ing sunbea,ns eIouad
My willing steps / wended.
Around the barn the trodd' way
curved careessly, and drifted
Whithe in sicks The rowen lay,
By Har ny hands uplilted.
And farther on, little space.
1t passed neighbor's dwelling,
Where thrift bare sign of rustic grace,
A humble peace foretelling.
Up, speeding DER the stony path
To gain the 81 m nit s. a ed,
MY foot, I'm sure, not often hath
Been sweetlier persuaded.
And so we reached the bower of shade
Through which the sun was cleaning,
And in its dappled ambuseade
Yielded TO pleasant dreaming;
And dreamed this dream-that he who will,
FINDS peace in lowiiest places,
And if he scales the slonest hill
Alert, but fOr its graces,
His eye, grown quick to nearest things,
Shall read the wider pages
OF distant vision, as though wings
Were his to span the ages.
Not Idle then my morning walk,
That led me, by the sweetness
OF simple wi:d flowers simple talk,
To learn Of life'S completeness;
To see that in the home!iest ways,
Which tend to higher glories
Gods love is there, and cheers the days
With myriad charming stories.

From Godey's Lady's Book.
A Tale of Christmas.

1t was Christmas Eve, and one Of
the loyeliest of winter evenings. The
streets were dry and clear, the moon
shed her soft radiance over ali OBJ
jects, and the stars twinkled and
winked joyously at each other. In
the great city of C the AR rang
with sounds of holiday merriment.
Houses were brilliantly illuminated,
and gorgeously decked trees were
surrounded by wide-eyed groups of
little ones. Stores were crowded
with the representatives of Kriss-
kringle, where the patron saint of
the day was supposed to cling to the
good oid-fasAioHed Gust m Of stock
ing Glling. Smiles lighted faces that
were grave or sad on other days, and
happiness 81. eted the yearly festival
IN many scenes.
There was one house, however,
where no lights Illuminated the win
dows, where no Chr;st'n 5 + ee was
waiting for cnildren's greeting, where
only tears and sobs fell upon she ear
Of any listener. Not for poverty.
TIE house was large and handsome,
and within every room bore token Of
the wealth of it's possessor.
But the grim destroyer who stays
not for poverty or riches, who comes
now stealthily. now triumphantly to
high and low, had placed his chill
"and upon tie heir Of the stately
home, and little coffin had only
fortnight b,fsIe passed out of the
wide door, leaving bitter grief and
iesolation behind.
He was the only child Of a wid-
owed mother; the sunny haired,
blue-eyed boy Of four Years, who had
sickencd and died, though all that
love and riches could compass was
given for his recovery. And when
he was gone, the world darkened for
the p, lie mourning mother, who shut
herselfup alone TO weep, refusing all
comfort.
While the tide of merriment swept
along the streets of the gay city,
Mrs. Hilson, in her heavy mourning
garments sought the room of her
lost boy, and there sobbed and
prayed for death, to bring her to her
loved ones. She was young, not
thirty, and very lovely, in spite Of
the traces Of grief upon her pale face
and as she knelt by her boys little
bed to weep and pray, the light fall
ing upon her seemed to illuminate
some sanity face and form.
The room where she knelt was a
large one opening from her own, and
had been fitted up expressly for the
petted young heir. The fu niture of
delicate coloring and soft satin wood,
was all small to suit the little figure
of the boy. Running across one end
was a shelf full of toys such as boys
love: drums, horses, whips, and
many more. A small bookcase held
gailv coloreI books Of nursery liter
ature. tales Of fairies a. d giants,
Neither Goose melodies, and s,oriee
Of good boys and girls. a little table

Reyerdy JOhnson's Views.

NEW York, Sept. 22.--The Herald pub
fishes a lengthy reply of Reverdy johnson to
inquiries from James Gordon Bennett, asking
for his views on the Louisiana difficulty. Mr..
johnson thinks the President erred 10 recog.
nizing the Kellogg government originally, being
misled by the judgment or decree of the United
States District Court of that State. The ques-
lion whether a State government is legitimate.
ly established, be says, is not a judicial but a
political one, as vas decided in the case ofthe
Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island. But, having
recognized the Kellogg government, whether
right or wrong, the Presidents decision was
final, and there was no legality or jus!i6ca-
ton for a resort to force or revolution to up.
set it. The President was bound to put down
such an attempt add to restore the Kellogg
government; but if any of the minor officers
under the Kellogg government refuse or neglect
to reassume their Offices, he says, the President
has no power to compel them to do so nor
has he power to appoint others to fill their
places. Mr.. johnson therefore thinks the
best solution of the difficulty would be for both
Kellogg and McEnery and the Lieut.. Govern.
ors under them to resign and submit to a new
election.
