her and asked;
Who are you.
"Im jim"
oh, you belong to the captain. do
you?" Jim nodded, not that she meant
to tell q story, but her papa was really
a captain, Capt. Cain, of the-th
regiment.

jim nodded again.
well, come down into the cabin
where you'll be out of harms way till
your pa comes"
Jim followed the man down the queer
little stairs into the cabin, where he
left her. Poor little Jiml How tired
she was! She quickly climbed upon a
sofa. and almost Immediately fell asleep.
Little kittie had been mewing contin-
ually, but at last tired itself out and
curled up and went to sleep, too.
ALI was still, and the captain who on
his return had made but o hurried visit
to his cabin to leave some papers had
not discovered either his little visitor
or the kitten. And they slept on, while
the ship was loosed from its moorings
and sailed away, out from the harbor,
out through the narrows, on the broad
Atlantic ocean. They we're away off
Sandy Hook, and the night was growing
dark, when the captain, who was still
on deck, heard q small voice calling:
Nan! Nan! come and get mel" The
sailors, too, heard the strange sound,

Dear friends, if we cannot be jolly
On Christmas Day,
With roast beef and pudding and holly,
When is't we mayy
We agree that this day, above others,
Should bring good cheer,
And parents and sisters and brothers
Should sill be here.
Then let the big fires 30 brayely
And brightly blaze,
And all enjoy, gayly or grayelY,
This day of days.
Our pleasure becomes, then, o duty
That good men love;
And presents Of comfort and beauty
The pleasure prove.
But over all, Christian on heather,
On Christmas Day
We have, to those worse of than re then,
A debt to pay.
For with MS we have, said the Savior,
Always the poor;
Whatever their state or behavior,
Their claims endure.
If we to the poor give as much rs
Our means may afford,
The gift is declared TO be such as
A loan to the Lord
Remember the poor who are with US,
And who must stay;
They're not apart from or beneath us

the beautiful appearance of the dark
green shining leaves, the pretty snowy
blossoms and the bright redsberries.
Where's the toffee?" she asked, and
then Capt. Brooks took her to a part of
the plantation where the fruit was
crushed and the berries separated and
dried. And bananas! Well, she had
as many as she could eat, and they
we're far nicer than those she had at
home. And she Jaw monkeys and ali
gators and parrots and all sorts OF
beautiful birds. Capt. Brooks bought
q splendid parrot for her to take home
with her. The captains friends gave
her some very handsome sea shells and
u great big doll with which to amuse
herself when she went to sea again.
Ono week before the Sea Bird was to
sail, another vessel left Rio Janeiro for
New York, and Capt. Brooks asked Jim
if she wanted to go home.
Eyes, / want to go home and see
m and papa, but I'd a great deal
drather wait and go on my W ship"
was Jim's reply.
Wen, then, shall we SEND q letter on
this ship to your papa, and let him
know where you are?"
"Don't he know?n
"No, and I'm afraid he has been very
anxious about bis little girl
Didn't he know that God would have

tain.
why, your little Jim came aboard
while Won was up to the Office this after
noon, and said she was going with lis.
I took her down into your room, and |
reckon she must have dropped to sleep"
The captain grew more and more per-
picked as the sailor went on. He swore
at him. and said he didn't know what he
was talking about. He had no little
girl. and his Jim was a boy ten years
old. He didn't want to be bothered
with n children aboard, squalling all
night and all day, and getting in every
ones way.
aGo bring the young one here" he
said.
The sailor obeyed, and pretty soon

arms, appeared before the angry cap
tain, who began:

sweet face of the little child, whose big
blue eyes gazed at him wonderingly,

ashamed to swear, and not once after

God bless the little stockings
All over the land tonight,
Hung in the choicest corners,
In a glow of crimson light
The tiny scarlet. stockings,
With a hole in the heel and toe,
Worn by wonderful journeys
The darllngs have had to go.
And heaven pity the children
Wherever their home may be,
Who wake at the first grey dawning,
An empty stocking to see!
Left in the faith of childhood
Hanging against the wall,
Just where the dazzling glory
OF Santa's light will fall
Alas, for the lonely mother
Whose home is empty and still,
Who has no scarlet stockings
With childish toys to fill
Who sits in the swathy twilight,
With her face against the pane,
And grieves for the little baby
Whose grave is out in the rain!
Oh, the empty shoes and stockings,
Forever laid aside,
Oh, the the tangled, broken shoe string
That will nevermore be ted
Oh, the little graves at tho mercy
Of the cold December rain
Oh, the feet in the snow-white sandals
That ver can trip again!
But happier they who slumber,
With marble at foot and head,
Than the child who has no shelter,
No raiment, nor food, nor bed.
Yes! heaven help the living!
Children of want and pain,
Knowing 30 fold nor pasture
Out tonight in the rain.

The air of mystery which always pers
vades Christmas eve is delightful. The
children are on the qui vive and watch
ing every movement of the older people
with the greatest curiosity, while the
papas, mammas, and aunties are busy
with closed doors preparing surprises
for the anxious little ones. The keen
enjoyment which all feel who Ire in
harmony with the season of merry MAX
ing is real to everyone. Whether
q beautiful tree is being trimmed
and the happy household are to
feast their eyes upon the splendor
of its lighted candles and brilliant
array Of lovely things, or whether the
stockings are hung in the chimney COR
ner, large ones or small ones down to the
little socks pressed by baby's tiny feet,
the same mysterious feeling prevades
alb There is AZ time IN all the yeas Like
Christmas time; the children look for
ward to it for months, and the scattered
members of the family gather then I'M
der the fathers roof to enjoy together
q happy season. Those who are far
away are remembered with precious
tokens from home. The regular rou-
tine of business is suspended. Father
gives up his time to the little folks, and
mother plans with them and becomes
o willing partner in their secrets
and surprises. The colleges and
schools close their doors, and a season Of
pleasure and relaxation takes the place
of the busy school life. How the young
people look forward to the Christmas
vacationl A visit home, free from all
the restraints which surround them
through the year, is an event winch
they have anticipated for weeks. Those
who do nothing to make the Christmas

BY MISS KRINGLE.


Jim's papa's house. 1t was the last Of
July, and papa and m and Jim
and Nannette were going to the country
to stay until October. Nannette was
mammals maid, but she was going to
take care of Jim while they were away.
Jim had always had a nurse who had
no other duties, but she was cross, so
she went away, and Nannette, who
loved Jim dearly, agreed to take the
nurse girls place. Well, the trunks
were all packed and the carriage wait
ing at the door, when Jim's mamma
fell down stairs and broke her ankle.
Such a time they had then was never
seen. Mamma tainted dead away, and
papa had to call the coachman in from
the street to help him carry ann up
stairs to her own room. Then he told
the man to drive away as fast as he
could, and bring back DIR. Galen. He
and Nannette then sat about restoring
mamma to consciousness. But, dear
mel the store-room was locked up, and
neither papa nor Nannette knew where
the keys were. The little medicine
chest was locked up in one of the trunks,
and they had no campkor nor ammonia
nor anything to use except water, and
that was pretty warm, for there was no
ice in it.
There's some bay-rum in the closet, :
said Nannette; how will that do?7
We'll try it and see" replied the
half-distracted man. and he opened the
closet door and got the first bottle he
saw. He poured liberal quantity into
his hand, and "sopped" Door mammals

help her much. But presently the

but he met DIR. Esculapius in the street

AS mamma is now in a fair way to be
taken care Of let us leave her and see
what Jim is doing. You must know,
however, that Jim was not a boy, as
you have supposed, but a dear little
blue-eyed girl. Her papa called her
"Jim,D but her real name was Ruth
and her mamma always called her
Rnth, and never in the world said
JIM when speaking Of her dear little
daughter. She, herself, always said
her nam was Jim; she liked il
best because it was papa's fancy to call
her so. Well, Jim waited and waited
and waited for some one to come and
look after her, but no one came. All
the servants, except Nannette, had
been sent away, all the doors Of the
lower rooms were locked up, and jim
couldn't find any one nor anything
with which to entertain herseli

How To Cook Water.

Unjust tell you the old story of
how the late Charles DelmOnico used
to talk about the new hot water cure.
He said the Delmonicos. were the first
to recommend it to guests who COM
planned of having no appetite. Take
cup of hot water and lemon and you
will feel better" was the formula
adopted, and the cup of hot water
and the lemon juice in it take away
the insipidity. For this anti-bilious
remedy the caterers charged the price
of a drink of their best liquors
twenty-five cents or more-and it
certainly was wiser way to spend
small change than in alcohol. Few
people know how to cook water"
Charles used to &rm. The secret
is putting good, fresh water into a
neat kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water to boiling quickly,
and then taking it right off to use in
tea, coffee or other drinks, before it
is spoiled. To let it steam and sim
mer and evaporate until the good
water is all in the atmosphere, and
the lime and iron and dregs only left
in the kettle-bah ! that Is what
makes great many people sick, and
is worse than no water at all" Every
lady who reads this valuable recipe
of great and careful cook should
ever forget how TO cook water.
