for while they were absorbed in the

the funny cat, who tucked his tail III
his belt, washed his face so awkwardly,
and didn't know how to purr, strange
things were happening at home, and
more surprises were in store for our

They were very jolly at dinner, and
talked q good deal about the Blakes, in
their own rooms. Miss Kent told what
the children said, and it touched the
soft spot in all their hearts to hear
about the red shirts, though they laughed
at Polly's lament over the bird with only
one feather in its tail.
I'd give them a better tree if I had
any place to put it, and knew how to
trim it up," said Mr.. Chrome, with a
sudden burst of generosity, which so
pleased Miss Kent that her eyes shone
like Christmas candles, and she said:
"Put it in the back parlor. All the
Browns are away for q week, and We'll
help you trim it-won't we, my dear?"
cried Mrs. Smith, warmly, for she saw
that he was in o sociable mood, and
thought it a pity that the Blakes should
not profit by it.
Eyes, indeed; I should like it of all
things, and it needn't cost much, for ]
have some skill in trimmings. as you
know" And Miss Kent looked so gay
and pretty as shespoke that Mr.. Chrome
made up his mind that millinery must
be a delightful occupation.
"Come on then, ladies, and we'll have
a little irolic. I'm a lonely old bach
elor, with nowhere to go to-day, and
I'd like some fun"
They had it, I assure you; for they
all fell to work as busy as bees, flying
and buzzing about with much laughter
as they worked their pleasant miracle.
Mr.. Chrome acted more like the father
of q large family than a crusty bachelor,

up and down as briskly as if she were

The children were so full of their

forgot their tree till after supper; but
the seed had been planted from which
the little pine tree grew so quickly and
beautifully.

"Yes, indeed; but we didn't hang up

II should give mother some new rub

apron, with frills like Miss Kent's, and
bring home nice lunches of grapes and
good things to eat, as Mr.. Chrome does.
I often smell them, but he new gives

Two soft kisses were heard, a nest

little sisters lay fast asleep, cheek
against cheek, on the pillow wet with
their tears, never dreaming what was
going to happen them tomorrow.
Now Miss Kent's room was next to
theirs, and as she sat sewing she could
hear the children's talk, for they soon
forgot to whisper. At first she smiled,

A New View of Margaret Fuller.

Rochester Union.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's analysis OF
Margaret Fuller Ossoli, as given in the
recently published biography by his
son, will surprise many. It was written
after she was dead, and while Mr.. Haw-
thorne was in Rome, where he came
across some unpleasant facts regarding
her marriage. He said:
"She had not the charm of
hood. But she was q person anxious to
try allthings aud fill up her experience
in all directions; she had q strong and
coarse nature, which she had done her
utmost to refine, with Infinite pains;
but of course, it could be only super
ficially changed.
%. Margaret has not left in the
hearts and minds of those who knew hel
any deep witness Of her integrity and
purity. She was a great humbug-of
course, with much talent and much
moral reality, or else she could never
have been so great q humbug. But she
had stuck herself full of borrowed
qualities, which she had chosen to pro-
vide herself with, but which had
not root in her. . q. . It was such an
awful joke that she should have resolved
in all sincerity, no doubt--to make
herself the greatest, wisest, best woman
of the age, and to that end she set to
Work on her strong, heavy, unpliable,
and, in many respects. defective and
evil nature, and adorned it with a mo-
sale of admirable qualities, such as she
chose to possess, putting in here n splen-
did talent and there q moral excellence,
and polishing each separate piece, and
the whole together, until it seemed to
shine afar and dazzle all who saw it.
She took credit to herself of having
been her own redeemer. if not her own
creator; and indeed, she was far more
a work of art than any of Mozier's stat
utes. But she was not working on an
inanimate substance, like marble or
clay; there was something within her
that she could not possibly come at, to
recreate or refine it; and by and by
this rude old potency bestirred itself
and undid all her labor in the twinkling
of an eve."
The last phrase refers to her mar
riage and married life. There are
few things in the whole biog-
raphy more interesting than the ia
theirs keen eye analysis of that strong
and brilliant woman, who was admired
by Emerson and Claiming and the
whole group Of Poston transcendental-
lists of the Brook Farm period. Haw-
thorne's mind was less influenced. by
her personality than theirs, and none
of them read character with such fine
d~iscernment as he. At the same time,
he but gave a definite expression to a
misty impression concerning her that
was widespread. Margaret Fuller was
not considered allowable wo.lun by some
of the warmest admirers ofherintellect.
She %bewildered them; but she did not
bewilder Hawthorne. His eye was al
ways clear and calm, and penetrated
all intervening mists. He may have
magnified defects sometimes from his
ideal standpoint. but not more, proba-
bly,, in Margaret Fuller's case than her
eulogists magnified her merits. 1t is
certain that his judgment was intelli-
gent and sincere, for he was always sin
cere, and he did not write the analysis
for the public eye, and he had known
her long and wa familiar with the
most significant facts OF her life.

oH1Isr1.As

What other day from year to year
80 fills the souls of men with cheer;
What memories are half so'sweet
As those that in devotion meet.
On Christmse morning?
The dawn upon the worlds long night
OF him God sent to give it light
Hath spring of JOY and blessednesA
That faileth not o groweth less,
On Christmas morning.
I cannot hear the Christmas chimes,
Or liet to Christmas singers rhymes,
But tenderer my spirit grows,
And gladness all my speech o'erfows,
On Christmas morning.
I cannot greet or young or old
But merry wishes manifold
Return to me; for like my own,
All hearts appear wide-open thrown
On Christmas morning.
Our Christmas days on earth may be
How few God knoweth-only He;
Yet may our lives so Christike grow
Each day our hearts shall feel the glow
OF Christmas morning.
With Christmas cheer for all the year.
A heart set free from care and fear
Our souls may ripe for Advent grow,
And thus each year more gladness know
On Christmas morning.
