"Is it possible you don't remember

young matron as she stepped up to DR..

half reproachfully, you were the one

called every day to ask the other doc
tor how was getting along-and still
you don't know me when you see me
on the street. This is the third time
1 have met you and you never even
condescenoed to bow"
The doctor apologized and said:
Really, have the best reason in the
world for not knowing you. To be
sure I performed the operation, but
that was the only time l saw you. DC
you realize that patient in bed
wasted by illness, looks very different
from the recovered patient on the
street? I knew that your eyes and
hair are dark, but that's absolutely the
only description I could give of you
I did not know whether you were 8
tall or a short woman. I did not
know whether you were naturally q
plump or slight woman. Neither did
l know whether you were vivacious
or a phlegmatic sort of person. You
must remember that doctor who has
seen you only once or twice in illness
has never seen the real you, but only
a shadow of yourself. New York

the Christmas hearth.
Welcome, old aspirations, glittering
creatures of an ardent fancy, to your
shelter underneath the holly! We
know you, and have not outlived you
yet. Welcome, old projects and old
loves, however, fieeting, to your hooks
among the steadier lights that burn
around us. Welcome, all that was
ever real to our hearts; and for the
earnestness that made you real,
thanks to Heaven! Do we build no
Christmas castles in the clouds now!
Let our thoughts, fluttering like but
terf1ies among these flowers OF chill
dren, bear witness! Before this boy,
there stretches out future, brighter
than we ever looked on in our old ro-
mantle time, but bright with honor
and with truth. Around this little
head on which the sunny curls lie
heaped, the graces sport, as prettily,
as airily, as when there was no scythe
within the reach of Time to shear
away the curls Of our first-love Upon

tented little face, we see Home fairly

than ours are young, other hearts thar
ours are moved; how other ways are

New Workers. Enthusiasm Far Above
the Ordinary.
r. Ambrose Clark, stepson OF Bishop
Potter and an enthusiastic patron OF
steeplechasing and hunting, for sew
eral seasons has aroused the interest
of New York racegoers as much by
the disregard he seems to have for his
neck and bones as for the fair amount
of success he has had in riding IN
open steeplechases. The field-stand
idea of Mr.. Clark was epitomized at
Belmont Park, where the amateur
Jockey got a bad fall just before the
field stand from his horse The Bow
cry, when a spectator, probably from
the Bowery, remarked, "Just t'ink OF
him dom dat and him wort fifteen
million bones"
The fall brought to the surface ex-
act measurement of Mr.. Clark's en-
thusiasm, for when he found his
horse was lame after he caught and
remounted him, and he could not go
on in the race, the gentleman jock"
walked off to the Jockeys quarters,
tenderly rubbing his shoulder. A
friend asked If he had been hurt in the
fall, and Mr. Clark responded that he
was not sure, but his shoulder felt
queer. The friend suggested exami'
nation to see how serious the injury
might be, and Mr.. Clark Endorsed the
plan at once by exclaiming, That's it,
send for a vet" Another suggestion
that a surgeon might be better failed,
however, and it was horse doctor
who conducted the examination, which
assured the cross-country rider that
his bones were intact. =
A fall at Morris Park a week ago
put Mr.. Clark out of the running with
a broken collarbone, but he has been
as constant as ever in his attendance
at the steeplechase races there, with
undiminished enthusiasm.

Time was, with most Of us, when
Christmas day encircling all our linn
tied world like magic ring, left moth
ing out for us to miss or seek; bound
together all our home enjoyments, az
fections, and hopes; grouped every
thing and every one around the Christ
mas fire; and made the little picture
shining in our bright young eyes, COM
plete.
Time came, perhaps, all so soon!
when our thoughts overleaped that
narrow boundary; when there was
some one (very dear, we thought then,
very beautiful, and absolutely perfect)
wanting to the fullness of our happi-
ness; when we were wanting too Tor
we thought so, which did just as welD,
at the Christmas hearth by which that
some one sat; and when we intertwin-
ed with every wreath and garland OF
our life that some ones name.

Welcome, everything! Welcome,
alike what has been, and what never

your shelter underneath the holly, to
your places round the Christmas fire,

yonder shadow, do we see obtruding
furtively upon the, blaze, an enemys
face? BY Christmas Day we forgive
him! If the injury he has done us
may admit of such companionship, let

otherwise, unhappily, let him go hence,

"Not the shadow OF a vast
City where the withered
leaves are lying deep?" the
voice replies. "Not the shad-

Not even that. Of all days
in the year, we will turn our
faces towards that City upon
Christmas day, and from its

these children angels that
alight, so solemnly, so beauti-
fully, among the living chill
dren by the fire, and can bear
to think how they departed
from us. Entertaining angels
unawares, as the Patriarchs
did, the playful children are'
unconscious of their guests,
but we can see them-can see
a radiant arm around one

figures is one, a poor mis-
shapen boy on earth, of a
