tain diocesan who pndpaVOred to dis
posses Roland in the affections of
ROsamOnd, but he was enervated by
bronchitis, laryngitis, and diphtheria,
which on their subsistence left his
carotid artery in an apparently leth-
argic condition. He had sent Rosa
mOnd ring with onyx, chalcedOnic
variety of stone, and once hung a
placard where he knew she would
see it from her easement: but she
steadfastly rejected his Overtures and
ogled him rs if he were a drOmedary.
The diocesan betOOk himself to absO-
lutOry prayers, but continued his di-
gressions and inquiries. Roland be-
came cOgnizant of this amour, and
armed with a withe he inveighed
against this interloper, who defended
himself with falchiOn until Roland
disarmed him, houghing his palfrey
Withal. After the joust, the prebend-
airy abjectly apologized, albeit in
scarcely respirable condition, then
FASTENED to the pharmaceutic's arie
for cOpaiba, morphine and quinine,
and was not seen again till the next
Michaelmas. Roland returned on
Christmas Day, took an inventory of
his possessions, which consisted of a
large package of almond cement, a
package of envelopes, a dish of an
chovy sauce, tame falcon, book of
acoustics, a miniature of mirage, a
treatise on the epizootic, a stomacher
lined with sarcenet, a cerement of
sepulture, a cadaver and a bomb.
The next day the hymencal rites were
performed, and ROsamond became
henceforth his faithful coadjutant
and housewife

Christmas Cards.

A Christmas card is a gift which
pleases all and can offend none. tits
suited to ages and conditions in life.
1t may be made to fit all purses,
slender or plump. Many persons be-
stow Christmas cards who would
know not how to give, were this
pretty and easy way not revealed.
Of course our cards differ, as one
star differeth from another star in
glory, but all shine with the light of
good will and patient effort. And
with what a wealth of fancy are these
cards adorned! Plush-mounted, silk
trimmed, arrayed in satin and velvet,
gold and silver, nothing is known
too good for the establishment of
Christmas cards. In varied shapes
they troop; banners and bannerets,
stars, shields, fans, easels, screens and
crosses and a hundred dainty con-
ceptions that add to their beauty
and value. Each artists peculiar
technique is faithfully preserved in
the adornmento of his card, and fringes
and tassels are subordinate to it's
beauty. Then let the good work go
on. AS long as love is better than
disdain, as long as friendship is bet
ter than enmity, let Christmas cards
fly on their errands ofpeace, and God
speed them to their destination!
Eleanor W. F. Bates, in Good House
keeping.

ADEAR LITTLE SCHEMER.

There was little daughter once, whose feet
were-Oh. SO small!
That when the Christmas Eve came round,
they wouldn't do at all,
At least she said they wouldn't do, and so
she tried anothers.
And folding her wee stocking up. she slyly took
her mothers.
'I'll pin this big one here, she said-then sat
before the fire
Watching the supple, dancing flames, and
shadows darting by her,
Till silently she drifted off to that queer land,
you know,
Of"Nowhere in particular where sleepy chill
dren go.
She never knew the tumult rare that came
upon the roof.
She never heard the patter of a single rein
der hOOf
She never knew how Some One came and
looked his shrewd surprise
At the wee foot and the stocking-so different
in size!
She only knew, when morning dawned, that
she was safe in bed.
Its Christmas! Ho!" and merrily she raised
her pretty head
Then wild with glee. she saw what dear old
Santa Claus" had done,
And ran to tell the joyful news to each and
every one:
Mamma! Papa! Please come and look!
A lovely doll, and all!'
And See how full the stocking is! Mine
would have been too small.
borrowed this for Santa Claus 1t isn't
fair, you know,
To make him wait forever for a little girl to
grow

THE DREAM OF AN ORTHOEPIST.
Prepared by the Publishers of Webster's Die
tiOnary.

(Read deliberately, pronouncing each word
distinctly
Roland and Rosamond were lovers.
ROsamOnd was ephemeral but come
ly, hyEOchondriacal but not lugubri-
Gus, didactic but not dishonest, nor
given to ribald or truculent grimaces.
Her pedal eXtremities were, perhaps,
a trihe too large for playing organ
pedals successfully, but her heart was
not at all adamantine, and her ad-
dress was peremptory without being
diffuse. Roland, on the other hand,
was of saturnine countenance, at
once splenetic and combative in dis
position, so that his wassails and
orgies were almost maniacal in their
effects. He was telegrapher by pro-
fession, having received a diploma
from Caius College, but aggrandized
his stipend by dabbling in philology,
orthoepy and zoology during his
leisure hours, so that he was accused
of fetichism and regeneration by
his patrons. Still, his acumen and
prescience were such that only a
misogynist would discern that he
was an aspirant for the gallows. His
acetic, rather than ascetic, nature
naturally inclined him to visit a chem
ical laboratory, well filled with ap-
paratus, to which he had access,
whence he often returned with globules
ofiodine and albumen on his caOut-
chouc shoes, which subjected him to
the risk of numerous alterations
with his landlady, a virago and
pythoness in one, and with the serv-
ant, her accessory or ally. Roland
had, however, become acclimated to
his place, received everything with
equability, reclined upon the divan
where he contemplated the elysium
where Rosamond dwelt, and addressed
donative distichs to her in the sub
sidence of raillery. There was a GER

made the people anxious to attend,
but they knew that what they spent
in going to hear her would be we'll
spent. On this occasion the proceeds
were to supply the poor with Christ
mas dinner. And the proceeds
meant no small sum. Such a dinner,
with food and warm clothing, us was
to be given them on the morrow,
would cost hundreds of dollars.
The house was crowded to it's ut
most capacity. The first part of the
concert had passed off pleasantly, but
the best part was yet to come. The
name was announced. The people
waited with bated breath us she
stepped forward in a simple white
dress, with bright roses in her dark
hair-a picture of girlish beauty.
What is there 50 familiar in those
glossy curls? What so familiar in
that bright face? CAN'T be our little
friend Of ten years ago? 1t is none
other! The first notes are sung. PeO-
pie seem to be holding their breath
and hanging on each note. Her voice
rises and swells, echoes andre-echoes,
filling every corner of the large hall,
reminding one of the song of thou
sand birds.
The last note died away in low,
sweet trill. The vast audience seemed
spell-bound. Encore after encore
sounded, and when she answered it
with that ever grand old song,
Home, Sweet Home" the enthusi-
asm scarcely knew any bounds.
Walking gracefully off the stage,
she was met by that same kind friend,
Mr.. Dalton, whom we first met at his
window. She was now his adopted
daughter. He had been more than a
guardian to her. Inevery sense ofthe
word he had been a kind and good
father 1t was to him she owed all
her brilliant success.
He was amply repaid for it all,
however, when he saw her face lighted
up with pleasure, giving beautifully
to the poor, not reserving any of the
large sums she realized from her con-
certs for herself.
Thousands ofhomes had been made
more comfortable, thousands of
hearts lightened by her kindness. To
the poor she seemed an angel of
mercy, and many a poor sinner who
had never heard of the Redeemer, had
she been the means, througha higher
power, of bringing into the light.
She had not i'll her prosperity for
gotten that Christmas Eve ten years
ago, for on the morrow all the poor
in the city would be given a Christ
mas dinner, all supplied with COM
Portable clothing Was not that city
far better for her coming?

A woman may forgive the man who

1t was Christmas Eve again, ten
years later. The heavy laden sky, the
falling snow, the brilliant lights, were
just the same. But was every person
the same? We can only judge by fol-
lowing the numerous carriages, the
hacks-in fact, where the general di-
rection of every one seemed to be-to
the Academy of Music.
There was to be given a concert, in
which a great songstress would ap-
pear. 1t was q rare treat, and the
music-loving public showed their ap-
probation and took advantage of it.
She was not before the public, MAX
ing q fortune with her voice, but
once in awhile would consent to
sing. Not only her wonderful voice
