MY CHRISTMAS RIVAL.

Somehow, just then the drowsy smile DER.
came
The restless dimple midway of her chin;
And sleeps moist finger quenched the hazel
fame
Her curling lashes jealousy hedge in.
How sweet her slumber is, my thoughts di-
vine;
I'm sure q yellow love-lock strays athwart
The coverlet, as if it sought to shine
Close to the happy beating of her heart.
She DIRE ams-but not of me-. Too well I know
Whose image sways her sordid little soul;
A stalwart gentleman, this favored beau,
Not young, and rather stout upon the whole.
His head hath white of many winters frost,
His beard is hoar, his brow is marked OF
time;
Bat, in good stead OF graces he has lost,
The beauty of his treasure Is sublime.
In fact, I had some worthy gifts of him
Myself, in days not passed beyond my mind
IT'S true his kindness now looks somewhat
dim,
AS bygone favors often do, l find
Yet on this Christmas eve they give me pause,
And lend me grace his triumph to survive.
Reign over her in peace, friend Santa Claus,
She'll flout your claims next year when she
is five.

stormy night in the middle Of winter.
In my library was a brightly-blazing
fire; on the table a student lamp with
colored shade, which filled the room
with a rich and mellow light.
An hour may have passed, for | dis
covered that | had been mapping, when
| heard the patter Of slippered feet in
the hall, and a moment later my little
daughter came in for her goodnight
kiss.
In her dainty night robe she kneeled
by my chair and said her Nov | lay
me- | thought | heard a little sigh as
she finished 1T. She climbed into my
lap and kissed me time and time again.
There seemed to be a sweet and pc
culiar tenderness in. her childish ca
resses At length she skipped away
with her nurse to bed, calling back to
me from the stairs: Good night! Pleas
ant dreams and happy birthday"
While she was caressing me so pro-
fusely, | heard a little click n my letter
rack where l placed my letters to be
ready for the morning mail. Reaching
over ! found a dainty package and read
this address upon it.

they might amuse themselves in the Ii
brary for awhile. Grandpa Wyman,
behind the thick curtain, was about to
order them out, when Jack said:
"oh, tell you, Bertha, let's play l

thatll be a good, quiet play
Bertha laughed and said: ''Well, wait

a pair of grandpa's specs; there's a pair

You better not let him catch you in
his room" warned Jack.

Bertha as she scampered off.
In a few minutes she returned and
laughed merrily at the figure little Jack
cut in his papa's dressing gown and
grandpa's s~pectacles.
Now you must be dom somethin','
began Jack; sit doesn't make much
difference what, and I'll make my voice
awful growly, just like grandpa's."

You used to tell me such pretty stories about
Heaven and the angels. Arc you an angel now
How funny it must be to float around in the
air. You used to tel me not to cry when you
were sick SO long, because you would be very
happy where you were going.
Il wonder why people look at me so funny.
They always look sad when they sec me. Some
times l ask Nursie to tell me why but she don't
seem to know. You looked so pretty, mamma,
when I saw you before you went away. have
a little pansy you gave me yet. Papa has one,
too. He takes it out and kisses it every little
while. wonder what makes papa so still now.
He doesn't have much time to play with me,
either, like you.
Sometimes I want to put my arms around
your neck and kiss you just before l go to sleep.
And then | look out Of my window, way up 10
the stars, and wonder If you are up there
Nursie is real good to me and CLUES my dolly's
head when I crack it.
I'm so sleepy now, mamma, / have to hold
my eyes open with my fingers.
Good night, dear little mamma.
From Your little darling.

II was SO glad to know that Nursie Is so good
to you. Give her q kiss for me. Pet your little

night in his dreams and he will write 1t out for
me. Pleasant dreams and happy days and o

night with a lighter heart, for ! carried

After dinner ! gathered my household
together in the library. With Mary in

mamma. A breath from Heaven filed
our hearts and home that night. 1t was
Christmas eve, and our home has seemed
more like Heaven to all Of US ever since.

/ turned it over and over in utter
amazement. In one of the corners |
found the evidence of grief-two little
blistered spots. What al this mean? |
said to myself. At last the thought
dawned upon me that the nurse might
have placed it there to crafty some
childish whim of my little daughter.
Debating what to. do ! finally decided
to open the package before mailing it
intending to close it again-for saw
it had been properly stamped and
sealed. This is what | read aloud to
myself. and what more l read between
the lines is too sacred for me to repeat:

Philadelphia. -.Nursie says everybody knows
where Philadelphia is, 50 Of course you do. I'm
too little to write very well, q Nursie says it

to do it for me. She says she will write Just

written this letter from mamma to Mary:
MY DEAR LITTLE DARLING Il have just fin
ished reading your sweet letter and not q very
little one. either. And how do you think l did
it? Looking over yolr shoulder as Nursie
wrote it for you. This will seem very queer to
you, and | cannot make you understand it now,
but you will some day. So papa did not need
to send your letter to me and he wanted so
much to keep it l told him he might. l think
it will do papa good, too, whenever he reads it.
After you went to sleep last night l kissed
you in your little bed, just as | used to. Think
you must have felt it, for you smiled very
sweetly. I saw papa so to your room and kneel
down by your side for o long, long time, and
he kissed you very gently
He had his pansy and your letter with him,
| so I knew he was thinking Of me, too. You
wish to know all about Heaven, my little one.
You shall, by and by, better than l can tell you.
But I'll tell this much, that it is more beautiful
than al the pretty stories | used to tell you.
Don't think about it too much, my little one,
but play you have o pretty Heaven where you
areA.--A
i am always SO happy and you must not be
sad for me. 1t will not be long before we are
all together again. l think papa will have
more time to play with you in q few days.

in a discouraging tone, because when
he was a boy the children never did
anything wrong; they were all just like
grown-up people, and never did the
least thing out the way"
Il bet they did, said Jack, promptly.
why, Jack" replied Bertha, what
makes you say that?'
But Jack was in a decidedly defiant
state just then. The thought of having
to confess about the glasses seemed to
have soured the good-natured little fell
low.

boy" persisted Jack. Il wouldn't won

women are the pupils. and as long as
we live there are lessons to be learned.
Grandpa Wyman was a very unfortu-
nate old man because he had forgotten
something. And what he had forgotten
wa something which old people ought
ALWAYS to remember, and that was
that when he was young he behaved
very much like a child, and a very child
ish child at that.
But now, when he vas seventy years
old. Grandpa Wyman seemed to expect
that his grandson Jack, aged eight
wears. would behave as well and know
almost as much as his father; and that
Bertha. aged ten, would be as indus
trious and almost as quiet as her
mother: but one day Bertha and Jack,
and Jack in particular, taught Grandpa
Wyman a very useful lesson.
It was inst before New Years day,
and that, you know, is the great time
for making resolves, but Grandpa wy
man hadn't thought of making any re-
solves: he seemed to think he was a
pretty good old man, and he really was,
but we are never too old to determine
to do better in a coming year than we
have lone in the past.
Well, this afternoon, just before New
Years day, Grandpa Wynan had gone
to the library to find a book, and when
he found it the room vas so dark he
went behind the curtain to read a mo-
ment, and while he was reading Bertha
and Jack came into the library. The
children were not generally allowed to
play there at all; but this afternoon the
furnace fire got rather low and the
nursery WAS cool; SO mamma SAID ltthcy
