future to cultivate their acquaintance.
Mr.. Longlcy listened with great in
terest but made no comment. HOwev-
er, the Elmores noticed that in day or
two he made al opportunity to call on
pretty little Miss Morris. On his way
back from the west hcstopped off again

Il really believe that Fred Longley is
only making this an excuse" said Mrs.
Elmore to her husband. Il am i'm
pressed with the idea that he wants to
sec Miss Morris again"
''Wcll. he Is OF age was her hus-
bands reply, ''and has IN Independent
fortune. He can certainly do as he
pleases."
And the upshot of the whole affair
was that on the next Christmas day Mr..
and Mrs. Elmore took dinner at the ele-
CANT city home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Longley. Little Miss Morris as Mrs.
Longley was beauty in her handsome
toilet and with her happy face. And
her mother was there, too-a sweet
faced old lady in black silk-who took

as he styled the locality. But there
was no help for it, and he was soon do
ing his best to make himself agreeable
to the company.
After delightful evening, when the
hour for breaking up arrived. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilmore were quite surprised to
notice that Mr.. Longley was preparing
to accompany some one of the ladies
home, and they scarcely knew whether
to feel pleased or embarrassed on find
ing that little Miss Morris was the lady
thus honored.
81 fear we have mislcd Fred by this
party" said Mr.. Gilmore. Il don't ex
actly know how he would feel if he
knew he was escorting little seam
stress home. At all events we must tell
him. His magnificent mother and fas-
tidiOus sisters would be Mortified if they
knew it,
more of lady than his naughty sisters.
However, will explain my Christmas

more's reply, $50 that he may fully I'M
derstand matters. He shall not be the
victim of any misunderstanding"
Mr.. Fred Longley soon returned, and
as he took off his gloves aud furs he
said:
well, declare. you have some nice
sensible and pretty young ladies in this
little burg. Pray, who is Miss Morris?
l really am quite captivated by her"
Mrs. Elmore explained at length her
idea in giving the party. She wished
to shows attention and afford some
really refined social pleasure to worthy
young people who were earning their
own living, and whom society too often
neglected. For her own part, she said,
she had been surprised to find such re-
finement and intelligence in the little
company of faithful workers. She

destroying the delicacy of our mutual
arrangements which formed the ground
of hope for reconciliation. After
awhile took card and wrote on it:

| signed this card and sent it to my
friend. The day after Christmas met
him. He said: How do you do?n l
said: pretty WELL though l seldom do
so. The tears came into my friends
eyes and we parted without saying a
word more than our greeting.
In Il few days he wrote me a letter,
saying he had planned to get even with
me. Now, the debt of our offense is
settled. You taught me that a little
generosity and kindness to foe is more
powerful to overcome him than would
be all the hatred of the world" l read
this and then thought how grateful the
world ought to be that it has had one
disinterested lover, the influence of
whose example grows in power and
magnitude with each returning Christ

and how modest and good tempered her
every act and word revealed her to be.
A new train of thought had been started
in Mrs. Elmore's mind. When her hus-
band came home that evening she said
to him:
"You said this morning that it would
look a little unsociable in us to have q
Christmas dinner all by ourselves, and
also that L would be happier if l took
more interest in people. l have been
interesting myself in people to-day, and
l want to have company to Christmas
dinner of people in whom L am inter
ested."
"And who are they, pray?" said Mr..
Gilmore, opening his eyes very wide.
'They are some young persons who
work hard, and are good hammered and
virtuous and intelligent, and yet have
no homes of their own nor any social
advantages. l want to invite of mar
ried people only the good old clergyman
and his wife; then 1 shall ask the two
young ladies who teach in the public
schools; Miss Green, the telegraph
operator; Miss Ray, who keeps that lit
tie book store, and the little Miss Nor
ris, whom you have seen sewing for me
this week. Then [ want you to invite
all the clerks in your Office. They are
nice young fellows, and 1 am sure they
will enjoy it"
Great was the joy and delight of al
the aforementioned parties to receive
in due time an Invitation to dine or
Christmas day with the beautiful and
rich Mrs. Gilmore, who was generally
supposed to be so aristocratic and ex.
elusive. There was a fixing over OF
garments, and buying of necl1ties
and ruches, and Hutter of happy
hearts in preparation for the unusual
occasion.

Christmas eve the dull sky
was rooted with leaden

seemed to voice, as it were,
a snowstorm. Snow birds

Mrs. Elmoro play the part of hostess,
making them all feel at ease and ac-
quainted. Mr. Elmorc had heartily en-
tered into her plan. and his clerks were
delighted to find that the somewhat
severe business manager could be the
most jovial of hosts. There was not
the least air of condescension in the
manner of either host or hostess, and it
was cheering oasis in all their hard

and a geranium leaf fastened in it,
which set off well the fineness of her
complexion, while a few geraniurn

Just before dinner, while the whole
company were engaged in lively talk
and mirth, there was a knock at the
door, and Mr.. Elmore was called to
welcome an old college chum, Mr.. Fred
Longley, whom he had not seen for
years, and who had stopped off on his
way to the far west to spend a few
days. He was quite an old bachelor,
and expressed himself as greatly dis
mayed at happening in on a party of
gay young people, instead of finding
his friend alone in ''the western wilds,"

A vision that did earth outvie,
From Heavens portals sweeping.
The shepherds all were sore amazed
AS tremblingly they upward gazed
At form angelic flying.
But bark! they hear the angel sing:
Good tidings Of great joy bring,
For unto you is born King,
He's in q manager lying"
Melodious rang the seraph's voice:
Fear not, but evermore rejoice,
And cease fore'er your signing,
For unto you is born this day,
In David's city, blest forage,
The Saviour, Christ, the living Way,
Exult with angels vying."
And row n host, heavenly throng,
Sweeps all the air and earth along,
Triumphant chorus raising.
ITO God be glory" now the cry,
"And praise TO Him who reigns on high"
"Good will TO men, rings from the Sky
From choir celestial praising.
A star more bright than all the rest
Shore out, that hottest night and best,
The wise men safely guiding.
And lol the star before them went,
And to their path q radiance lent
To lead them where their steps were bent,
In worshipful confiding.
And as they came to lowly inn,
And found the new born Babe within,
They joyed with joy exceeding.
And when they saw the holy child
Within the arms of virgin mild
They praised, with lips pure, indebted,
The Lords most gracious leading.
Low at His feet they humbly fell,
And sought, in vain, their joy to tell,
But opened out their treasures
Rich frankincense and myrrh they brought,
And gifts of gold with jewels wrought,
To lay before the Babe they'd sought,
Outspread in fullest measures.
Then let the bells their carols ring,
To praise the Manager graded King,
The Christ of sacred story.
Let every heart, with men Of old,
Pour out its franllincenSe and gold,
In loyalty and love untold
To God, the King of Glory.

where is your home?" said
Mrs. Gilmore, with genuine
interest.
And then the pretty little
seamstress told the rich and
beautiful Mrs. Elmore all
about her home and her child
hood. 1t was Il commonplace
story. because there are so
many thousand similar sto-
ries. Her father and mother
had had a good start in life,
were prosperous and respect
ed. They had moved to the
west just when the period of
initiation began. She and her
sisters had been sent to good
schools, had taken music les
sons and known every COM
fort in life. Then came the
general financial crash; then
the death of her father; then
the hopeless struggle of her
mother to keep the family
together, ending in their 60
ing back east to her mothers
family. There the seamstress
had found a life of depend
ence uncomfortable. and she
had taken up the occupation
OF sewing, and gradually
worked her way westward
till she had come to this
place. She was bravely at
work supporting herself and
sending some money home to
her mother regularly. But
home life and the gay pleas
ures OF youth she had been
obliged to forego, and she
did it with an accomplishing
cheerfulness that seemed

more.
All morning Mrs. Elmore
kept thinking over the story
of the little seamstresS. She
wondered how she herself
would feel placed in similar
circumstances. Then she OBJ
served her more narrowly,
and noted how refined the
young girl was. in her per-
sonal appearance; how soft
and pretty and well kept was
her hair: how neat her linen
collar. how white and beau
hands. Again and again she

overcoat preparatory to going to his
Office, 'only think it looks little I'M
sociable in us. We owe something to
society here. even if it is small west
ern town. l think, dear" he added, as
he kissed her fair cheek, that you
would be happier and more contented
if you could only take little more in
terest in people"
Mrs. Gilmore sat thinking over the
matter after her husband went out. He
was a railroad official holding very
important position, and in receipt of a
very large salary. His duties required
him to be stationed at small western
town on the line of the railroad, and it
was a great trial to himself, as well as
to his beautiful and accomplished wife,
that she was deprived of the pleasures
and advantages of city life to which
she had been accustomed. She had al
ways looked upon her stay as temporary,
and to be endured as a period of wait
ing only. The people of any preten-
sions in the place who had called on her
had all been uncongenial to her, as she
really was a woman of very superior
cultivation and accomplishments; and
she had gradually withdrawn herself
from social intercourse, and occupied
herself with her books, her drawing
and painting, and in keeping up a very
extensive correspondence. Not that she
felt herself above or any better than
the people of the town-she was too
genuinely a lady for that-but they
were uninteresting to her; they APP
pealed neither to her sympathies nor
her taste, and she preferred her own
society to theirs.
Mrs. Elmore was interrupted in her
thoughts by the arrival of the pretty
little seamstress, whom she had en-
ployed for several days. After she had
given her some general directions about
her work, a sudden thought struck Mrs.
