"I know Its rather an unusual thing to ask, Miss Sinclair," said Mr. Edelin, but you see my sister-in-law is so busy, with the children and the holiday times and all, that I really don't like to say anything to her about it; and all young ladies naturally understand one another's tastes and fancies, Ithought I would ask you to go with me to select something pretty to send her as a Christmas gift." 'Oh, certainly, I shall be very happy indeed," said Adelaide Sinclair. It was three o'clock in the afternoon ; the lessons were over, and the books, maps and slates were all piled up on the scholars desks, before which the y: governess sat--a pale, slender girl with big black eyes aud dark complexion, and niasses of raven hair, wound in two heavy coils around her head. Mr. Edelin leaned against the mantel, close to her, a handsome, middle-aged wan, with a dark brown beard, and eyes clear and blue as an eagle's. '" And when shall you: be at leisure to accompany me !" he pursued. '" At any time ; now, if you please." "Very well ; then I'll order the car- riage at once, if you'll be ready in fifteen minutes. It's really kind of you to take pity on my bachelor ignorance." "Not in the least," said Adelaide, de- precatingly ; and then she went to put her things on. * * * * * "Do you think she would be pleased " | with this {" It was a tiny cross of glittering diamonds ded on a thread like a chain o- 18 New Fall Goods. 72.

"Put yourself in her place, Miss Sin- clair, and decide." Adelaide Sinclair's lips curved mocking- ly for an instant. She, the pale, over- worked little governess, put herself, even for a moment, in the place of Florence Carrington, the spoiled beauty, the-- indulged darling of a host of friends. Mr. Edelin hardly knew how impossible was his behest ; but Adelaide did not try to explain it to him." "I think the cross the most besutifal and significant of all," said she, quietly. "1 should select the cross were I Miss Carrington. "I hardly know how to express my deep obligations to you, Miss Sinclair," he said, but--" ' Then do not atéempt it," interrupted Adelaide, with rather a forced laugh. "It has been no trouble to me, Mr. Edelin, and I have been glad to be of even th. smallest service to a member of Mrs. Clarence Edelin's family." But when Adela'de sat in the school room that night, gazing into the red depths of the sea-coal tire, one cheek app ported listlessly on her hand, aud themn< read volume lying on the rtig beside her, where it had slipped from her nerveléss hold, she could not but arraign fate with a bitterness which was not to be disguised. She had seen Florence Carrington durig the past autumn, when she had spent a week with her future sister-in-law, and the beauty had deigued to patronize the governess after hex own pretty, eapriciops fashion ; she remembered her asa frivo- lons golden-haired girl, with blue 'eyes, and a complexion all pink and white like ice-cream, the last person in the world to whom she would have supposed that grave, eccentric George Edelin would take a fancy. «She is not good enough for him,' thought Adelaide ; she never will make such a wife as he ought to have. = A tit. tering, empty-brained fool, with nothing on earth but prettiness to recommend her, the prettiness of a China doll, or a white kitten, or a three-year old baby." And then Adelaide colored scarlet, 'and was mutely angry with herself for Being envious, cankered andspiteful. pi © If . she only makes him happy, thought she. $a : Sil rd A ---- And the big tears escaping slowly from Syelashes, dropped one by one, glit- in the firelight ere they dissolved L lie niiniature rainbows. : "Did she then love George Edelin, u 6r woman's promised husband ? .#nd Adelaide determined henceférth to fix her mind on her duties only. «+ THe four merry, clamorous little Edelin found Miss Sinclair very staid during the next week or two; and 'per- haps. she experienced a certain sort of delief in adhering to the dull routine of her every day occupation, as intently as if 1i% Beld nothing but wotk for her. os nse tireless wheels of 22a allen on aud Chri Eve came at Flasice Carrington had recived the cost- 4ly diamond 'cross in due season, and had "writted'a charming epistle of thanks to hér bridegroom--a note full of en- thysiastic adjectives and well-chosen words instribed 'on pink paper, scented with ot- to of roses, and decorated at top with a delicate monogram of intertwined rustic letters. Mrs. Edelin showed it to he "Buch a charming letter," "Dear Florice is certainly plished." And Miss Sinclair assentediwithout a word of comment, although shé could not help thinking within herself that were she engaged to a man she loved, that was by nomeans the sort of letter she would have written, The four little Edelins--Mary, Mattie, Charles and Hubert--had hung their four stockings, duly graduated in sige, up along the mantel. There were no open fire places except in the school room, and although Nurse Hop- kins had solemnly assured them that Sarita Claus would experience no sort of difficulty in coming down a register flue with his pack vn his back, still they considered dis- cretion the better part of valor, and pre- forted the open chimney. 80 Miss Sinclair's domains were the scans of many anticipations and grave dis. cussions during the whole afternoon of the dy preceding the great holiday itself. "Why don't you bang up your stocking, Miss Sinclair 1" -demanded five-year-old Hubert. # Yes, Miss Sinclair, put it close to mine," cried Mattie, the younger of the. two little girls. " Pahaw," exclaimed Charles, " Miss Sinclair never has any Christmases. Don't you remember, she never got anything last year but the embroidered portmonnaie mamma gave her!" Adelaide felt the scarlet blood mounting to'her cheeks, but she laughed with ap- parent carelessness. : *' Charley is right," said she. 'I never do have any Christmases. It would be of no sort of use for me to hang up my stock- LS. '4 But just try it, Miss Sinclair," lisped Mattie." ««'"¥ou 'have been a good girl, has'nt you, all the year, and Santa Claus loves good folks I know." *""Santa Claus comes only to children, deag," said Adelaide, with a sigh, given to the memory of childhood's sweet delu- sions. 'I hat's nonsense," said Mary, for Santa Claus brought mamma her new ermine col- lar and muff last year." '4 Uncle' George won't be here to see the fun; is'nt it a pity!" said Harry, regret- fully. ' He's going to start on the mid- night express to see Miss Carrington, at Haliiax. I wanted uncle George 'to be heme.onChristmas day. + I don't see pither, what is the usé of people getting matried."

Policeman Badger of the Tenth Station had a bit of experience the other night which he is not fond of talking about. It was past midnight as he was leisurely pushing his way through Jessup street,and when: he came opposite to Drayton & Gogg's jewelry store he observed gleams of light through the chinks of the shutters and he rapped at the door: '" Is that you, policemen?" asked a voice within.! \ "Yes," answered Badger. '" Well, 'it's only me. It's all right--, Kind of chilly out, isn't it?" A " Yi in "" Thought so. fire. Good night." Badger said *' good night," and pursued his way. : - An hour afterwards Badger passed through Jessup street again and saw the light in the jewelry store. It didn't look right, and he banged the door loudly. * Hello!" cried the voice within. it you, policeman?" "Yes" '" All right. . Won't you come in and warm you! It won't hurt anything for you to slip from your beat a minute." : The door was d and Poli Badger entered, and he found the inmate to be a very gentlemanly-looking man in a linen duster. " Come right up to the stove, policeman. Excuse me a moment." The man took the ash par from the bot- tom of the stove, and carried it down cel. Jar and emptied it,anl as he returned and wiped his hand, he said, with a smile. " Chilly night, isn't it?" "Yes." '" Chilly outside, and dull inside. (An- othersmile.) New goods for the fall trade, and have to keep our eyes open. Lone- some work this watching all night; but I manage to have some comfort in this.-- Won't you join me in a nip! You'll find it the pure thing." And the man in the duster produced a black bottle and a tumbler. Policeman Badger partook. Having wiped his lips and giving his fingers a new warming, he left the store and r d I was just fixing the "Is ES ------ something after all!" " What was itl" demanded open-mouth- ed Mattie. " Was it in her stocking?" to go in anybody's stocking." " But what is it? Do tell me." And Mary put her cherry mouth close to Mattie's eager ear and whispered -- "It was Uncle George." THE DEAD ALIVE. A few days ago, says the Chicago Times, Mr. Mulbesch was taken suddenly ill at his residence. His disease was of a very acute nature, and in spite of all the efforts of his' physicians, hesdied after a very short illness, and his sorrowing friends made ready for the funeral. An under- taker was summoned, snd the body pro- perly laid out, and on yesterday the fune- ral services: took place from his. late resi: dence, After| the customary services had been performed, and the sorrowing rela- tives had. taken theit last look of the de- ceased, the coffin lid was screwed down, and the funeral cortege moved slowly toward the quiet confines of Graceland Cemetery, where the body was finally lowered sadly into the grave which hall been prepared for it. The last prayer had been offered and the last solemn ser- vice repeated, when, just as the sexto seized his spade and was about to dru} the first shovel full of arth upon th coffin, a sound something like a stifflec groan, followed by a scratching noise, a: if the dead was trying to release himsel. from the confines of his narrow house, was heard proceeding from the still open grave. For a instant every heart stuod still,' and the blood of every listener seem- ed to curdle in his veins. The women 4 and haat. riage, (while the men were not slow i. following them. In an instant the sexton was the only man left at the grave, and he too trembled at. what he had never heard before. * Finally he recovered presence of mind enough to descend into the grave and break open the rough box in which the coffin was encased. © Then the noise was repeated, and he know that the occu- pant of the grave, who in a few moments more would have been consigned to a hor- rible death, and whom his friends had already mourned as dead, was still alive and anxious to be set free. A screw- driver was soon procured from the und .r- taker present, aud the coffin lid removed, when its occupant, instead of being cold and dead as he had appeared when las: seen, was found to be once more alive. His friends, who had by this time recover- ed courage ennugh to return to the grave, were of course almost overjoyed at thir strange and unexpected turn of affairs. and hastened tu rescue the late deceasea from his unpleasant gnarters snd remov: him to one of the carriages in waiting, where he was rolled .up iu a plentifal sup: ply of 'blankets and lap robes, and the friends who had followed him sorrowfully to the grave, now hastened joyfully to- ward their homes. The mau was so over- come on being rescued from his perilou: position, that he was for a long time un- able to speak, and what his feelings were while undergoing burial, or whethé¥ he was conscious at all or not until the las moment, when he managed to signify tha he was still alive, is not known. CHRISTIAN SKINFLINTS. Most men are curiously illogicalin their character, but the Christian skinflint i: the oddestcontradiction of all. It sounds something like cold fire and stoney water. As a Christian he must have his charities; bat to give. this is, to' the skinflint, torture, and to the philosophical political econo- mist, i rtality. And these opposing his beat, satisfied that all was right at Drayton and Fogg's. ' But morning brought a new revealment. Drayton & Fogg's store had been robbed principles have to be reconciled. We have known some odd methods of reconciliation, One lady does fancy-work, which she sells at prices quite as fanciful as her labors, during the night of six th d dollars' worth of watches and jewelry; and though policeman Badger carries in his mind an exact daguerreotype of the robber, the adroit rascal has mot yet been found.-- Newburg, N.
