The eldest son of an English Earl was
brought before the Woolwich magis-
trates recently under strange circum-
stances. He had enlisted in the Royal
Artillery. and con6ded so far in the
magistrates as to say that he had been
driven to this step through deficiency OF
income-this amounting only to $4,000
per annum. The poor fellow was dis
charged on paying the usual fees.

The Peterkins' Christmas Tree.

Pretty early in the autumn the Peter
kins began to prepare for their Christ
mas-tree. Everything was done in great
privacy, as it was to be surprise to the
neighbors, as we'll as to the rest of the
family. Mr.. Peterkin had been up to
Mr.. Bromwich's wood-lot, and, with his
consent, selected the tree. Agamemnon
went to look at it occasionally after
dark, and Solomon John made frequent
visits to it, mornings, just after sunrise.
Mr.. Peterkin drove Elizabeth Eliza and
her mother that way, and pointed
furtively to it with his whip, but none
of them ever spoke of it aloud to each
other. 1t was suspected that the little
boys had been to see it Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons. But they came
home with their pockets full of chest
nuts, and said nothing about it.
At length Mr.. Peterkin had it cut
down, and brought secretly into the
Larkins' barn. A week or two before
Christmas, q measurement was made of
lit, with Elizabeth Eliza's yard-measure.
To Mr.. Peterkin's great dismay, it was
discovered that it was too high to stand
in the back parlor. This fact was
brought out at secret council of Mr..
and Mrs. Peterkin, Elizabeth, and Aga
memnon.
Agamemnon suggested that it might
be set up slantirg, but Mrs Peterkin
and the candles would drip.
But brilliant ideacame to Mr.. Peter
kin. He proposed that the ceiling of
the parlor should be raised to make
room for the top of the tree.
Elizabeth Eliza thought the space
would need to be quite large. It must
not be like small box, or you could not
see the tree. ~,s t68> i, tI.
eyes," said Mr.. Peterkin, "I should
have the ceiling lifted all across the
room the effect would be finer"
Elizabeth Eliza objected to having the
whole ceiling raised, because her room
was over the back parlor, and she wonld
have no floor while the alteration was
going on, which would be very awk-
ward. Besides, her room was not very
high now, andaif the floor were raised,
perhaps she could not walk in it up
right.
Mr.. Peterkin explained that he
didn't propose altering the whole
ceiling, but to lift up a ridge
across the room at the back part where
the tree was to stand. This would
make a hump, to be sure, in Elizabeth
Eiiza's room but it would go across
the whole room.
Elizabeth Eliza said she would not
mind that. It would be like the cuddy
thing that comes up on the deck of a
ship, that you sit against, only here you
would not have the seasickness. She
thought she should like it for rarity.
she might use it for divan.
Mrs. Peterkin thought it would come
in the worn place of the carpet, and
might be convenience in making the
carpet over.
Agamemnon was afraid there would
be trouble in keeping the matter secret,
for it would be long piece of work fo1
q carpenter but Mr.. Peterkin proposed
having the carpenter for day or two
tor number of other jobs.
One OF them was to make all the

The True Story of q Doll.


A year ago, young girl, one of the
teachers in a school in great city, babe
goodbye to the children and went home.
The children laughed great deal, and
the story went about how that Miss Nelly
was going to be married soon, and was
going home to learn to keep house.
Nelly was one of the merriest girls in
the world. In school or at home, every
body tried to sit next to her, to hear
her laugh. Nobody was ever so friendly
Or SO full of life, they said. But she
was not strong and when she went
home, instead of learning to keep house,
she grew thinner and weaker day by
day, while the doctors stood helplessly
looking on. The marriage was put off
again and again. At last she could not
leave her room. Yet still people tried
to come close to her; the laugh was
always ready on her lips, and the big
blue eyes grew more friendly with each
fading day.
It began to be noticed, however, that
she was anxious to sew or knit all the
time, to make something for little chill
dren-soft, white little shirts, or baby's
socks. In the city where she lived there
is hospital for sick children, in which
there are many memorial beds" given
SIS legacies by dying women, or in re-
membrance of them by their friends.
Nelly had no money to endow memo
rial bed, but her thoughts were busy
with the sick babies.
81 will dress box of dolls" she said,
$50 chat each can have one on Christmas
morning."
They gave her the doll, and scraps of
silk and lace, and she worked faithfully
at it with her trembling fingers.
81 will have them ready" she would
say.
But it seemed as if she would not have
even one ready, she was forced so often
to lay it down. One September night
she was awake all night, and by dawn
made them wash and dress her and give
her her work-box and scissors.
By noon the doll was dressed, and she
laid it down, smiling.
An hour or two later, they told her
that the end was near. She kissed them
all good-by. Her face was that of one
who goes upon pleasant journey and,
holding her mothers hand, she closed
her eyes and went away.
There is the little doll, alone in it's
box. I thought if each little girl who
reads this story would dress doll and
send it to a poor child in some asylum
or hospital on Christmas morning, that
Nelly would surely know of it, and be
glad that she and her loving fancy had
not been forgotten.-&. Nicholas.

mon Johns candle sputtered and went
out.
4 At this moment there was loud
knocking, at the front door. The little
boys, and the small cousins, and the
uncles and aunts, and Mrs. Peterkin.
fastened to see what was the matter.
The uncles and aunts thought some
body's house must be on fire. The door
was opened, and there was man. white
with fakes, for it was beginning to
snow, and he was pulling in large box.
Mrs. Peterkin supposed it contained
some of Elizabeth ELIAS purchases, so
she ordered it to be pushed into the
back parlor, and hastily called back her
guests and the little boys into the other
room. The little boys and small cousins
were sure they had seen Santa Claus
himself.
Mr.. Peterkin lighted the gas. The
box was addressed to Elizabeth Eliza. 1t
was from the lady from Philadelphia |!
She had gathered hint from Elizabeth
Eiza's letters that there was to be a
Christmas tree, andahad filed this box
with all that would be needed.
1t was opened directly. There was
every kind of gilt hanging thing, from
gilt pea-pods to butterflies on springs.
There were shining flags and lanterns,
and bird-cages, and nests with birds sit
ting on them, baskets of fruit, gilt
apples and punches of grapes, and, at
the bottom of the whole, large box of
candles and box of Philadelphia bon
bons
Elizabeth Eliza and Solomon John
could scarcely keep from screaming.
The little boys and the small cousins
knocked on the folding-doors to ask
what was the matter.
Hastily Mr.. Peterkin and the rest took
out the things and hung them on the
tree, and put on the candles.
When all was done, it looked so well
that Mr.. Peterkin exclaimed:
"Let us light the candles now, and
send to invite all the neighbors tonight,
and have the tree on Christmas eve 81"
And SO it was that the Peterkins had
their Christmas tree the day before, and
on Christmas night could go and visit
their neighbOrs. Nicholas.

y
Solomon John was making the candles"
Mr.. Peterkin thought it was quite
natural. ~. u,
Solomon john wondered if it were too
late for them to go into town now.
Elizabeth Eliza could not 90 in the
next morning, for there was to be a
grand Christmas dinner, and Mr.. Peter
kin could not be spared, and Solomon
John was sure he and Agamemnon
would not know what to buy. Besides,
they would want to try the candles to-
night.
Mr.. Peterkin asked if the presents
everybody had been preparing would not
answers But Elizabeth Eliza knew they
would be too heavy.
A gloom came over the room. There
was only Pickering CLEAN from one of
Solomon Johns candles that he had
lighted by way of trial.
Solomon John again proposed going
into town. He lighted a match to ex-
anime the newspaper about the trains.
There We're plenty of trains coming out
at that hour, but none going In except q
very late one. That would not leave
time to do anything and come back.
"We could go in, Elizabeth Eliza ard
], said Solomon John, "but we should
not have time to buy anything"
AgamemnOn was summoned in. Mrs.
Peterkin was entertaining the uncles and
aunts in the front parlor. Agamemnon
wished there was time to study UP some
thing about electric lights. IF they
could only have calcium light. Solo
