Maruaret ArnoId's Christmas

Margaret Arnold laid a letter on the
table in the hall, where were other let
ters awaiting the hour of mailing, and
trippcd upstairs cheeriIy, with smile
on her lips and in her dark eyes.
She even hummed n little song softly,
as she passed through the nursery and
entered the school-room and the chill
dren ceased their noisy play to run after
their governcss and climb into her lap.
what makes you sing, Miss Ar
noldr questioned tho little Elsie
you haven't sung for so long, and you
look so tired always. You don't look
sorry tonight, though. What is max
ing you glad?'
The child laid her head against Mar
garet's shoulder caressingly as she
spoke, and patted her governess cheek
with a soft, tiny hand.
why do l sing?' replied Margaret.
'Oh, Elsie, don't you know Christ
mas is coming, and we ought to be
gladAoughtn't we, dear?'
'Our house is jolly at Christmas
time, / tell your interrupted Harry, a
boy of seven winters, who had himself
been Christmas gift to his mother,
and who, as consequence, enjoyed an
unusual share of presents at each return
of his birthday. IT'S awfully jolly,
and we have lots of company. Do you
have nice times at your house, Miss
Arnold?'
we used to, when | was little
girl, Harry, but there are only two OF
us now-mother and land our
Christmas days are quiet, although
very happy, when we are together.
wont you be glad to get home
again, Miss Arnold? I'd be awfully
home sick away from mamma so long
And Margaret replied, gently:
Glad to get homer. Oh, Harry, il
you only knew how glad!'
The opening of the schoolroom door
interrupted the conversation, and Mrs
Granger entered.
oh, here you are, children. Papa
was asking for you. Run down stairs.
Then, as the little feet were patterng
merrily through the hall, the lady
turned to her governess.
Il came to say, Miss Arnold. that ii
will be impossible for you to go home
this year for Christmas. My daughter
Isabel expects company to remain with
us during the holidays, and you can
understand how troublesome the chill
dren will be without your care. l am
sorry; but, after all, it cant make
much difference to you, presume, and
really your presence will be absolutely
necessary to me.
She withdrew herself and her trail
ing robes from the schoolroom, as
! Margaret bowed silent reply to the
| command which had instantly driven
the gladness of only a few moments
previous from her heart.
What did she know Of the glad plan:
| and hopes which the children's gov
4 erness had ventured to form in honol
/ Of the coming season of joy and peace
Or, if she had known, this woman o
fashion and ease, would she have
