HIS CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

The Great Prize HAPPY Found In His Lost Stockings
How He Was Accepted.
"She was the prettiest and brightest girl
We had at our house party that winter"
related the smiling old lady who loves to
dwell upon the holiday festivities when she
was a girl. "She was a great favorite with
the men because OF her dashins ways and
the air of good comradeship that she al
ways carried about with her. Yet we could
never see that any one of her suitoss was
favored above another, and often wondered
If she would fill the appointed destiny of
woman.
"In the party was Harper Allisoa. We
always called him HAPPY. he was big,
athletic, good natured and good to lock at,
but We never thought of him Is q bill

and that if he ever did find lodging place
in her heart he would see sign.
Christmas eve we all hung up our
stockings outside our doors, just as a lark,
you know. In the morning we all had
presents to show but Harry. He pretended
to be disconsolate beyond consolation. He
had put out a great long pair Of wooden
stockings, knit in black yarn and tipped in
red by fussy old aunt in Maine who al
ways feared that HAPPY never dressed warm
ly enough. He had not only been siighted
by Santa Claus, but the stockings them
selves were gone.

some time. Finally came story that the
sailor had died, and soon after the arrival
of these tdings there came through gate
in New Amsterdam's wooden wall a worn
and weary woman with babe in her arms.
Where she was received and sheltered Hans
did not know.
''She had my name once" he doggedly as
serted, "but she is no child of mine now"
One might naturally feel that this wintry
night Lysbet and her babe would be ex-
posed to the coming storm. That swing
ing bell might say: Rejoice, rejoice" but
was not there room in some hearts for the
feeling of anxiety? Hans was not at ease
He could not drop this subject that had
come up for notice.

returned, and a woman followed her who
knelt beside Katryne at his side and said:
"Father!"
"My child"
"Thou wilt forgive me-"
"And thou wilt forgive thy father"
That was all. No, not all. Hans reached
out his hands and rested one on the head
of Katryne and one on the head of Lysbet.
The babe stirred now in its furry cradle, only
to look up and smile. And somehow it
seemed as if the picture on the wall had got
out into the room, and the love and peace
in that group of the Holy Family came
down like wings, and the air of June had
made summer and song that Christmas eve

the fireplace, opened the beaver skin, and
here to his amazement was a sweet-faced
child! 1t opened its eyes, cried once, stared
at Hans, and then, as if it had found pro-
tector, shut its eyes again.

At first Hans fumed. Then he gradually be-

have been charged with a fondness in doing
he went to sleep, the beaver cradle still in
his arms. He had not ventured to drop it,
for what if the baby cried again and the
neighbors heard it? The baby had found
a protector, knew it would not be separated
and had gone to sleep. Hans followed. In
his sleep he heard a voice.
"Hans, thou hast the Holy Babe in thy
arms, the Christ-child, who comes this night
to every home. Wilt thou turn Him away"
He opened his eyes, and there was Katryne.
All over the crimson were white doves from
the sea.
"Thou wilt keep him, father?" He could
but nod his head. She went away, quickly

quilted crimson hood over her locks and
slipped out of the door. When Katryne
returned Hans was in a very painful mood,

THE NEW YEAR.
We Should Meet rs Trsals and Temptations With
SSrono Esith In God.

We Should Meet rs Trials and Temptations With
SSroao Eaith In God.
The return of New Years day invites
many people to the most somber reflec-
tions. Undoubtedly most of US can find
abundant occasion for these, but there is
such thing as pushing determination and
self-condemnation to the point of discour-
agement. The best temper with which we
can enter upon the new year is that of faith,
faith in God and faith in ourselves through
His help. 1t is about as certain as any
thing can be that the new year will bring
us new experiences. Our courage, our ca
pacity for endurance, our steadiness of char
acter and power of resistance is to be tested.
At the end of the year we are going to be
nobler men and women than we are to-
day, or we shall have deteriorated morally,
and forever afterward there will be narrow
ing opportunities. While we think of the
latter alternative it is well to strengthen
our hearts by the former. Let us believe
that We are not going to fail and We have
taken long step towards success. When
another New Years day comes around we
are going to be able to reckon solid gains
in character won through the trials and
temptations and emergencies OF the years

Swing and ring. o bell! Christmas was

petticoats, to the weary sailors in the
lighters that had pushed up the canal divid-
ing De Heeren Graft (to-day's Broad street,.
or the seamen in the craft moored by the
shore, the thought of Christmas brought
new Joy.
Hans Van Schenkel stood on the stoop of
the shop where he sold beaver skin and 9th
CT furs, but the ringing of the bell brought
no special satisfaction.
What is that bell ringing for?' he asked,
turning to his daughter Katryne.

she stopped and her blue eyes SO filled with
tears that they were like sapphires floating
in fountains of crystal.
Come, come, child, thou hast a good
home. What is the matter with thee?"
Thou knowest, father
"Humph." growled Hans. Then he broke
out: Il know what ails thee. Thou art
signing for that sister of thine, and is it
any fault of mine because she would, yes,

katryne turned away to hide the pearls
that fell so freely from her blue eyes. She
thought of the day when Jack Lang and
Lysbet Van Schenkel stole through gate
way in the wall of the palisades running
where Wall street now is and giving a name
to it. The lovers disappeared there, and not
for long day was Lysbet seen, but Jack
never. 1t was said that they were married

TWO YEARS SUCCESSFUL WORK.
DIR. Fairs second anniversary as
Pastor of Independent Church.

Yesterday was the second anniversary

thirteen times; of pastoral visits, 30

ninety-four new members were added 10

DR. Fair said that this large number o.
additions is very encouraging. They had
been gathered in by the regular preaching
Of the gospel and faithful work by parents
in the homes and teachers in the sunday
school. No special revival services haa
been held in the church. Dr. FAR said ne
had been called upon to. bury ntty-one' OF
these eighteen We're members of the hide

dents leaving a resident membership OF

elders were elected and six deacons nad
also been elected.
In continuing his sermon, DR. Fair told
his congregation that the one great object
he tried to keep before him in his minis
try was the salvation of souls. This he
had sought by the preaching of the old
truths of the gospel He sad he had en-
deavored 10 make his sermons simple, so
that they would be understood by chill
dren. Every effort had been put forth
in humble reliance on the Holy Spirit.
In closing his sermon, Dr. Fair said he
had received many tokens of kindness
from the peop.e and he warmly express
ed his thanks and prayed Gods blessing
on them and their homes. After the SER
vice many took the pastor by the hand
and expressed their good wishes for the
future.
At the offertory Mrs J. Wickenberg
sang a solo. which was composed by Mr.
Noble HaTdee of this city. and 1t was
greatly enjoyed by the large congregation.
Mr.. Hardee has written some pieces Of
a high order of merit, and he is making
quite a reputation as musical composer.
DR.. Fair preached Saturday night to
the sailors in the chapel of the Seamens
Bethe., and after the service che ladies
served the sailors with refreshments Of
