IT has been said, by one OF old
that " Christmas comes but once &
year" We don't propose to dispute
the correctness Of that assertion,
and but for the fact that we are
somewhat welded to old associa.
tions, and the many pleasures and
glad surprises experienced on that
day, in timcs past, we could almost
wish never to see another. While
the Christmas Tree was generally
admitted to have been a success.
and many little hearts were made
glad, and older ones cheored with
present and past recolleotlous, there
were those, who, on Christmas day,
considered in the light of the 10Th.
century, we are constrained to say,
presented pitiable sight. Their
innate love of drink led them not
only to get drunk themselves, and
thus desecrate the day that all
christians delight to commemorate,
but TO place the intoxicating cup to
the tender lips Of children from six
to fifteen years Of age. The sight
of these striplings recling and stag
gering through the streets, yelling
and curslng, causes us to ponder
and speculate on the hopes and
prospects of the next generation.
Alas, what is there to hope for,
with the present generation as their
archetype? How many parents
are there who ever stops to weigh
the Obligations resting upon them (?
In a spirit Of friendship and candor,
and without the least desire to I'M.
plnge upon the senslbilites OF any
one, is it not time that parents
were waking up TO their RESPONSE.
bilities for it is creative may
say terrible-responsibilily to ac-
cept from the hands oflts Creator,
a spotless soul, and nurture it up
IN drunkenness and dissipation, and
after life misspent in idleness and
vagabondage, TO finally return it to
its Maker disfgured ard fuming
with alcohol. Fathers, mothers,
Keep YOUR children within reach
until they can take care of them
selves as befit men; give them to
understand that no matter where
they 60, you are ever beside them
in spirit, If not IN body, ready to
comfort, counsel guide and uphold
them don't ,c4tk apart from your
children, and let them shift for
themselves, because, forsoothe, it is
too troublesome but by keeping
them with you, the bond OF love
and sympathy will grow stronger
and more indissoluble between you,
and the children will delight in the
comTanionship OF these whom they
have been made 20 feel and know
are their best and truest friends.

CHAPTER vm.-THE pRIRsT OR THE
WOMAN?

CHAPTER vTU.-THE PRIRST OR THu
WOMAN?
Lord Loring hurried away to his
dressing-room. "I won't be more than
ten minutes" he said, and left Romayne
and Stella together.
She was attired with her customary
love of simplicity. White lace was the
only ornament ON her dress of delicate
silvery gray. Her magnificent hair was
left to plead its own merits, without
ornament of any sort. Even the brooch
which fastened her lace pelerine was OF
plain gold only. Conscious that she
was showing her beauty to the greatest
advantage in the eyes of man of taste,
she betrayed little of the embarrass-
ment which Romayne had already no.
ticed at the moment when she gave
him her hand. They were alone; and
it was the first time she had seen him
in evening dress.
1t may be that women have no posi-
tive appreciation Of what is beautiful
in form and color, or it may be that
they have no opinions Of their own
when the laws of fashion have spoken.
This at least is certain, that not one
of them in thousand sees anything
Objectionable in the gloomy and hideous
evening costume of gentleman in the
nineteenth century. A handsome man
is, to their eyes, more seductive than
ever in the contemplate black coat and
the stiff white cravat which he wears in
common with the servant who waits on
him at table. After stolen glance ct
Romayne, Stella lost all confidence in
herself-she began turning over the
photographs on the table.
The momentary silence which fol-
lowed their first greeting became in
tolerable to her. Rather than let it
continue, she impulsively confessed the
uppermost idea in her mind when she
entered the room.
81 thought I heard my name when I
came in," she said. "Were you and
Lord Loring speaking of me2
Romayne owned without hesitation
that they had been speaking of her.
She smiled, and turned over another
photograph. But when did sun-pic-
lures ever act as a restraint on woman's
curiosityP The words passed her lips in
spite of her. 81 suppose ] mustn't ask
nat you were saying?"
1t was impossible to answer this
plainly without entering into explana-
tions from which Romayne shrank. Hs
hesitated.
She turned over another photograph.
"I understand" she said. "You
were talking of my faults" She paused,
and stole another look at him. 81 will
try to correct my faults if you will tell
me what they ara"

THE MEN WHO WORK UNDER
GROUND.

We hear every day of disaster
Throughout this wide breadth Of world,
Where some one has gone to their master
By accident untimcly hurled.
Pm sure there is no class of workmen,
On this sphere anywhere to be found,
That needs more the public attention
Than those who work under the ground.
For instance, jnst think of that poor little
boy
A good lad as you'd wish to see
A driver he was, and some mothers Joy,
But now from all care he is free;
For while at his work, in old Johnson mine,
Full ofvigor-his health good and sound
He lost his young life, twas hard TO resign |;
Yes, young Mooney worked under the
ground.
And then come another--a miner for years,
Beloved and respected by all
He went to his work full of life, it appears,
But his death would stout heart appal.
Yes, he's gone, God help his grief-stricken
wife
And his children, to pity you're bound |;
Just think for moment how he lost his
life;
Yes, poor Bowen worked under the
ground.
But this is not all who will meet the same
fate
There are others all over the land
Who risk life and limb-the risk it is great,
To dig coal you must a. understand.
So give the poor miner encouragement,
boys,
And their rights try to help them ad vance
All they ask is but little of these earthly
joys,
So give them, yes, give them chance.
