1t was New Years eve in that cl,lfS.
and>;;lorious climate where-the snow
lies on the bosom of the earth like q
protecting mantle from December to
March and the nights are crisp and
cold. with resinous tang in the air.
due to the forests of Odorous pine.
New Years eve and the merry jingle
of sleighbelIs in the little town of
Brandon made 8 harmonious discord
that reached the ears OF two people
who were having the FIRST quarrel Of
their lives, and who presented If they
had only known it---an absurd appear
ance, one in a lachrymose. the other In
belligerent, state. II came about In
the strangest way, this quarrel be-
tween two married lovers who had es-
tablished their lives upon n firm
foundation of principle and respect. as
we'll as mutual love, before they took
upon themselves the responsibilities Of
welded life.
These were the first holidays since
their wedding and they had antici-
pated q season of quiet enjoyment with
each other, and now they were hardly
on speaking terms. And there was no
one to blame but themselves.
1t happened in this way: Alice. Mrs
Evcrsham. had been very anxious to
make her husband. Horace, a New
Years present, but had refrained

saving money to pay on home and

which both were equally Interested

other luxuries. his wife gave up L:.v-
ing afternoon teas, and hired only one
domestic, who worked by the day. A
certain amount was reserved for char
ity, and as the end of the year ap-
preached and cold weather brought
extra demands, this fund gave out and
there were several cases Of destitution
which they could not relieve, but were
compelled to hand over to the char
| table society of the church.
| Therefore it was at Alice's own sug-
re>tion that the society got up a bazar
for the sale of contributed goods, and
took the proceeds to ameliorate the
conditions of their poor.
This was the beginning Of the
trouble. When the sales we're over,
they took the things that remained un-
sold and put them up at SO much q
chance. Alice had put her foot down
it was very pretty foot-against
the proceedings, but had been over
persuaded that it was perfectly right.
as the church would sanction it. Still.
she only gave negative consent. Tor
she would neither buy nor sen any OF
the chances But when one of her
young friends took a couple Of chances
for her-a dressing-gown and chocolat.
set-she had said. laughingly. that il
she won they might send them 70 her

She did not say anything about 1t tc
Horace, who was too much occupied
with the closing business of the yeal
to attend the bazar, and knew nothing
of this lottery feature.
She would not have had him know it or
any account. inasmuch as he had been
fond of games of chance when she mar
ried him, and through her good in
fluence had entirely reformed. Tha'

FLORENCE, Ala, DEC. 24.--The
United States revenue officers who

curiosity. Williams, the genius who
is said to have originated the device,
was arrested and. placed in Jail on
charges of operating AL illict dis
tillery.
The arresting officers were Deputy

An Applied Epigram.

The diplomat was talking to a young woman in Washington and contrary to the usual order of procedure in suck cases, the young woman was not giv- ing her most reverent and soulful ate tention to the remarks of the gentle- man whom all Washington women de- flight to honor. It is true, she was hearing what he was saying, but 8 very remarkable specimen of the Wash- ington dude was engaging great deal of her attention. He was posing on the other side of the room, and there was about him such an air of blase hauteur, and such an astonishing rev. elation of clothes, that to save her she could not help looking Ut him as the diplomat talked.
 "Talleyrand once remarked" tho diplomat was saying, to illustrate 8 profound point in diplomacy he was seeking to bring out, that everything which is exaggerated is insignificant. !"

FEARS OF BIRDS.

It Is the Result of Persecution and Not of
 Instinct,
 This may be @ fitting place to glance at the instinct of fear In birds. Mir. Hudson does not accept without more than the proverbial grain of salt the Darwinian theory that birds instinct@ lively fear man, and that the instinct is hereditary. We note in this matter, as in many others, MT. Hudson's capacity for looking at things as they exist, and his unwillingness to square unusual or exceptional phenomena with precons ceived ideas and ready-made theories. aven when widely accepted by eminent scientists. He boldly faces the inexs plicab1e, and has no fear of being de- clared unorthodox. He objects to Dar- wins theory on the ground that the growth of an hereditary instinct of fear would require more than the theory provides for. Instincts pracs tically endure forever, aud are not pres sumably acquired with such extr@&s dinary facility" Shyness in birds, he thinks, is the result of persecution, and young birds learn the habit from their parents. This persecution Is not neces. sarily persecution by man; it may bc by other birds. MT. Hudson often found birds in the desert, to whom the human form was almost unknown& shyer than in the vicinity of human dwellings. Young domestic birds are tanner than old ones, evincing little if any instinctive fear of man. Suspicion has its root in the strangeness of an object, or in experience of mans de. structive power; confidence springs out of familiarity and experience of man's kindness. Fear of man is an associated feeling. Quarterly.

 TIE HERO OF TRAFALGAR.

Nelson Grew from 9 Feeble Lad to Che
 Greatest of Naval Commanders
 When Horatio Nelson was lad of ten he was sent to boarding school Being wasted by quinsy and naturally of small stature, to his fellow students he seemed quite insignificant. He was soon recognized, however, as the most daring boy in the school
 One dark night council of war was held regarding the capture of pear tree which stood short distance from the dormitory. When every one else had refused to undertake the job, Nel- son offered his services.
 A rope was tied around his waist and he was literally tossed over on the tree. Though attended with great exertion and no little danger, he accomplished the feat, returning with an armful of pears which he immediately distributed among his schoolmates.
 The same year he was sent to sea- and two years later joined an Arctic expedition. One morning, when their vessel was frozen in off the coast of Greenland, Nelson persuaded two sail- ors to steal out and kill polar bear that had been prowling about.
 When the bear was attacked, 1t be- came very cumulative, and the sailors beat hasty retreat, leaving Nelson to follow. Instead of doing so, however, he kept on fighting and would certain. ly have been killed had not the ice on which he had been standing broken of and hoated away.
 On the 1st of July, 179s, Napoleon Bonaparte, intent on conquering Europe, landed sixty thousand French veterans at Alexandria, Egypt. Nelson, with the English feet. pursued him, and on the first of August, at ten a. m, sighted the port and distinguished the tri-colored flag of France.
 All the captains were now called to. gether to decide on the method of at. tack. Capt. Berry, enthusiastic over the plan adopted, cried out: ''If we succeed, what will the world say2"
 "There is no if In the case," replied Nelson. "That we shall succeed is cer. tain. Who may live to tell the story is a very different question. ]"
 At six thirty p. m. the battle began. NelSon h1u HIS cO1oFS AYluB AEOu AA@ different parts of the rigging, so they would not be shot away.
 When they got within 9 short dis tance of the French the thirteen Eng fish vessels opened terrific broadside, and In thirty minutes the battle of ths Nile had been fought and won.
 During the conflict Nelson was struck on the forehead with shell. Carried to the cockpit in supposed dying con- dition, he refused to be attended until his turn came, saying: ''1 will take my turn with my brave fellows. " When the sailors learned his wound was not fatal, many of them cried for Soy.
 Immediately on seeing that the bat. tie was over Nelson gave orders for all the crews to thank the Almighty foG the great victory, and 1t Is said that the French grenadiers, with Napoleon ct their hea6, stood silently drawn uF in line at Rosetti and wondered aA ths sudden lull in the battle.-Boston Her. ald
