A CHRISTMAS SKETCH.

ACHR1STMAs SKETCH,
1t was the afternoon before Christmas
day, and honest John Grahame was packing
up his butter tubs and the remnant OF his
Christmas marketing before returning to his
expectant family far off in the quiet coun-
try.
All day long the great market-house had
been full to overdowing with an eager crowds
of people, busy with the buying of their
Christmas cheer; and Johns fat turkeys,
ducks and country homemade sausages
had been so. we'll patronized that not one
remained to burden his two strong horses
which had drawn the whole heavy load into
the great city on the afternoon previous
Many kindly greeting Of the season had
been given honest John by his smiling Gus
TONERS; for st. Nicholas gives to all who
Z love him happy face aid light hearts in
this his own festive season.
One thing yet remained to be done, and
John would have sooner lost his strong
right hand than have neglected this plea
SAINT duty. There must be a nice present
bought for the kind wife at home, and stop
mans mind. He would buy Margery new
bonnet, for times had been hard this winter,
and, although she had made no mention OF
it, John well knew in his heart that it
would be the very thing to please her
Then there was his little Dolly, who, with
her eyes as black as 81 1eberry and bright as
stars on a frosty night, had stood ON tip-toe
to kiss him as he sat in his wagon we'll rolled
in blanket to keep out the cold, and who
ran down the walk to open the wide gate,
kissing her hand TO him until he was hidden
from sight by turn in the road.
PUSSY shall have her doll she has asked
for SO often, and good big box of sugar
plums, too" he softly promised himself,
a loving look coming into his mild browY
eyes; so, calling his boy to finish his pre-
parations for him, he sailed forth on his
errand of love. He strolled along the busy
streets, looking into the store windows with
wondering curiosity until milliner s.display
caught his eye, aud be paused in front OF
the window.
His big, bully frame, with its rough over
coat took up SO much room and looked SO
utterly out of place that many a curious,
smileing lookwas cast upon him. He stood SC
long time trying to conquer his diffidence
and enter the store that little street gamiu
sang out, with nasal twang: "Say, old
'un, wich suits yer complexion best? Buy
the one with the peaked top old cabbage
head"
John, thus rudely aroused to sense Of
his position, shook his big fist good-natured
ly at the saucy urchin and entered the store
Good humor and love held high carnival il
Johns heart this blessed Christmas tide anC
lett no room for unkind feelings for any
one
The saleslady, wondering at her odd Gus
toner, displayed several bonnets to John,
astonished eyes, fairly bewldering him witt
the variety of shape, colurs, feathers, anr
flowers, and the many other varieties that
