deducted from it for any month in which he
is on duty, even if only for one dag.

CHAPTER xII.-CoyTINUED.
1t was a merry confusion. The ladies
crowded round the tree, children of all
ages hustled about, some of the gentle
men mounted chairs in order to take
down the topmost gifts.
Then there was laughter, question

tongues and tones Of voice.
Mr.. White was in his element; he was
the confidant of all the young ladies
from six to sixteen years Of age.
The little children pressed around
Ellen, who had stood her pretty tree on
q side table. She looked charming
among all those rosy baby faces.

. very pretty custom. But prefer the
mistletoe bough of merry old England.
Does the fir tree ever call forth any
thing as sweet as our mistletoe? Oh! If

whom Christmas comes only once a

and drew forth from his coat a branch
of mistletoe. Hello! Lucy, Amy,

Laughingly the crowd dispersed, and
q merry chase began, until finally
Amy, the smallest, was caught and
kissed under the mistletoe in honor of
old England.

The little ones nudged one another
and laughed. They could picture to
themselves the old, fat lady as looking
very droll; and yet there was one
Christmas when she stood under the
tree rosy and beaming, and loving
glances rested on her as they now do
on Ellen and the delicate English
woman.

mirth.
