about asking for one of those pink ribbons,
when a party of gentlemen came in, and
suddenly the air changed. In a moment
it became evident they had imbibed too
freely, and were too hilarious for the So

Grandma Steele drew herself up very tall,
proudly So She smiled and talked, but her
smile was like the frost on a windowpane,
and her words were like bits OF ice strik-

undertone she gave Pompey to understand

prestidigtator; and the black conjuror for

Mrs. Steele smiled and jested gayly, ex
changing badnage in her light-hearted
way, and looking very fair and pretty. She
rippled out merry laugh, as one young
man fell to his knees while making a gal
liant speech over her extended hand. Across
Grandma Steele's face came a fash of color.
She stepped quickly toward her daughter
in-law, exclaiming:
'Mary! Be CAREFUL" but she was too
late The daring young man was on his
feet, and made rush for the now fright

drunken embrace, and started to run off
with her. The other men were laughing
helplessly, treating the matter as huge
joke.
Mary groaned and covered her face with
both hands, and |, in a fury of rage, dashed
in front of the young man and tore open
his arms with the power and ease of some
mighty avenger. Mrs. Steele, thus freed,

A Saxon New Years Custom.

Many curious customs and associa-
tions cluster around New Years day.
The Saxons in ''ye olden tyne" used to
dance around an apple tree on New
Years eve, singing a song, to insure a
good crop, and bells were rung to an
nounce the death of the old year and
usher in the birth of the new. In other
parts of England at midnight the
house door facing the west was opened
to let out the old year, while the door
facing the east was opened to welcome
the blithe new year.

THE WATCH NIGHT.

Twas like an old-time lovefeast-that
Watch night, for It seemed
That heaven was just so near to us Its
light around us sire amed;
Jerusalem, the golden, flung all Its portals
wide,
And we felt the shining presence of the
crowned and crucifed
We saw, as 'twere beneath a bright and
all-revealing sky.
That far-off land, Ger Jordan's strand,
where our possessions lie;
And heard, while all our songs or JOY were
thrilled and waited o'er,
A softer, sweeter music from the bright,
celestial shore.
The dear old songs of Zlon-the old and
ever new
From praying lips and hearts that night
were answered from the blue;
We listened for the answer, with perfect
faith and then
When one cried "Hallelujah!' soft echoes
said: Amen"
"Amen" each face uplifted seemed all a.
shine with light
The radiance of the realms that know no
sorrow-neither night;
Where never any blessing to His children
He denies
When the Lord Himself shall wipe away
the teardrops from their eyes.
Twas like an old-time Lovefeast; old
scenes were brought to view
We had the old-time singing, ard the "old
religion tool
We told how He had walked with us
through valleys of Despair,
Until al last, the dangers past, His love
had led US there
And all sang "Hallelujah" in sight of
heavenly lands;
Twas a glad shaking up of hearts, well
as shaking hands,
And the Old Year died in music, and the
New Year dawned in light,
And we passed to Gods good morning from
the glory of His Night!

A Day for Candy-Makers

There is a street in Paris to which
New Years day is a whole years
fortune. This is the Rue des Lom-
bards, where the wholesale confec-
TONERS reside. For days preceding
January this street is blocked with
wagons loaded with sweetmeats
ready for shipment. There are all
forms and descriptions made of
sugar and hollow to hold bonbons.
1t is said that for sweefmeats alone
100000 is spent annually on this day
in Paris. Jewelry is also sold in
great quantities, for no Frenchman
calls empty handed. The day is
filed with exchange of visits and
bonbons, and the occasion is one of
enjoyment and rejoicings.

Ceremony of Hand kissing.

On New Years day at the Russian
capital the princes of the imperial fam
lily, personages of the court, function
aries and servants of the palace, come
in regular order to present their hon.
age and good wishes to the emperor,
who kisses all the members of his
family, and all the high officials three
times. according to the Russian fash
ion. People meeting in the street in
Russia on New Years kiss each other,
whether acquainted or not. The ia
vored ones who have been kissed by
the czar are permitted to kiss the hand
of the empress. The ceremony of hand
kissing was suppressed for time, but
reestablished a few years ago under
the reign of Alexander III.

/ thought it breach of courtesy to cough
or sneeze before her. and many a heroic
struggle have | had with self to avoid these
spasms.
Mary's mother was altogether different.
She was a small, fair woman, with merry
little ways, a continual laugh, and the
manners of child The sort of person
that one must pet, and indulge, and ex-
cuse. My mother was also a very small
woman, but her manner to Mrs. Steele was
that of tall woman bending to a midget.
Year after year passed in pleasant, even
fashion, until | reached the age of IL.
Mother walIened me as usuo! one New
Years morning, but, contrary to her Gus
tom, seated herself on my bedside, and,
facing me, clasped my hand in hers.
MY son." said she, you are old enough
now to bear responsibility, and learn manly
ways and ideas. Your father was gentle
man. lie was kind, loving and tender; ever
ready to defend girl, woman, and the
right He never drank to intoxication, and
hoped his son might also be exempt from
this temptation. If not, he prayed that
strength might be given him to leave it
entirely alone"
l wondered why mother was saying this
to me, when tears came in her beloved
eyes, and she continued:
81 am telling you this, dear lad, because
you always visit the Steeles on New Years
day, and there are many young men whom
you may see there-young men who drink
too much, say too much, and whose man
ners are not always the manners of gen
tlemen."
Then | understood, and putting my arms
about her neck, pledged myself in the name
of my dead father to be temperate, faith
full and true. The bells of St. Margaret s
broke into a merry chime just then, and
mother ran away crying:
"Up, up, Jack! My son must not be a
sluggard on New Years day"
The day had been dull and gray A
whitley sense of snow thrilled through the
sharp, wintry air, which made the warmth
and comfort within intoxicating. From
nine o'clock in the morning a line of callers
had poured over the door-sill of the Steele
house Carriages emptied their loads OF
elegant looking men at their curbstone, the
tails of rich coats fourished like black
wings behind the flying figures, while white
satin waistcoats and light gloves cleaned

steps Few little boys were among the

We used the hem of her pinafore as far
as it would go, and finished the inches upon

She was right. Their pineapples were
twice the size of ours, and admired her
pretty, exultant face, as it pressed closely
to see that | "played fair" She was so
near that her breath blew her loose halr
across my check. Suddenly, L snatched her
close and kissed her again and again. she
struggled and freed herself. Indignant tears
were in her eyes. "Iou are very mean
boy" she said, "and I'll never speak to

self-love ache. 1t was only on New Years

Mary was especially nice and glad to see
