Why should I not? The burden of bearing the little secrets of a score or 'more of young women is not much. Their se­ crets are only trifles at their best, or perhaps I should say worst, and it is better, since they, must have a confi­ dant, that an old lawyer like myself should be tike repository of their treas- vam (for a %ecret is a treasure to a WMnan) tfrftn that she should confide it to the disseminating cileiiue of some of her female friends. And that is how I learned Maggie's secret. She herself told me, as she al­ ways told me everything, and I should not tell you, even though our bachelor Christmas dinner does need enlivening, only that she herself, "with her husband joining," as we lawyers would say, had v*• ^*1 'if a so much admire in your writings. Ij don't think it will make bad filling, but of that you must be the judge. Bat 1 guess you knew Med Oariyle, didn't you? No? Well, 1 am sorry for you, as you have failed to make the acquaintance of one of the best fellows who ever breathed. And, when I say that, you know that he must deserve it, for I am not very enthusiastic about men as a general rule. Well, Ned was brought up by an old uncle, as eccentric as he was kind- hearted, and as kind-hearted as he was rich, and he Was reputed to be worth $2,000,000. : j He brought Ned up in " good style," as our grandmothers would say, and there was "nothing too good for him." He placed him at Chauneey Hall, and from there sent him to Harvard. At both places he did the . old man credit. When he walked in from Harvard, with hio parchmont in his hand, the old gen­ tleman hugged him tight to his heart, clapped $2,000 in his hand, and, much to his surprise, told him that that was all the money he could ever expect from him, and he mart BOW "shift for him­ self." . "Unfeeling old wretch?" No, no, he was not. That was only his way. , I have told you he was eccentric, and you will see before I have done, perhaps, that Ned was equally so. " What did he do ?" He took the money, thanked the old man, and im­ mediately looked about him for the best possible way in which to invest it. Sitting down and quietly spending it while preparing to ente^ some profes­ sion was not a part of his plan. He was not the kind of man who was suit­ ed to/a professional life. He had a cal turn to his mind, and he ran siness by nature. a short time he found the opening desired. A friend of his was going to a smalTbut growing town in Mich- i£an, to engage in business, and Ned started with him and put his money in the enterprise. At the end of the first year his part­ ner died. For the next two years he worked early and late. He was untiring in his exertions, indefatigable in his la­ bors, but the only result was complete loss of money and almost loss of health. At this time his uncle joined him. Of course you might have anticipated that. He relieved his present wants, paid his debts, made his will in Ned's favor, and then, as all good uncles in fiction do, conveniently died and left Ned heir to his $2,000,000. The only condition or direction of any kind accompanying the will was that Ned should marry as soon as he could make a suitable choice. Now that Ned was once again inde­ pendent and free to marry, the subject was not at all a disagreeable one for him. to contemplate. The pleasant days of his youth came bpek to him, and bright in the memories of the past were thoughts of two young classmates of his, the daughter of a rich coal mer­ chant, and her cousin, a dependent in the family. Both young ladies were of more than ordinary beauty. Unless Cupid had decidedly shot his shaft to favor of one of them, you would have had great difficulty in deciding be­ tween them were you compelled to make your choice of a wife from no larger a circle these two young girls made. The only difference between them was that the cousin was poor, and oould bring to her husband nothing but her- self.] Bi|» that was enough. Why, man, I almost fell in love with her myself at that time. In fact, I think I should had my other lady friends given me time. But no matter, l am telling Ned's story, not my own. * ' Well, as I was saying, Ned thought of these young girls a great deaL I think his sick-bed must have made him a little sentimental, judging by the tone of the letters he sent me. The loud, laughing ring which his every sentence used to have seemed suddenly to have died aw»y in the fog of sentimentality, and for three whole weeks I was engaged in busily answering all kinds cf questions concerning those young ladies. If there i* anything in the old saying, the ears of those young ladies must have been as red as a car-driver's nose in winter during those three weeks that I was constantly employed writing, now of the manifold virtues of one, and again of the indescribable excellencies e other. letters and the photographs of the young ladies which I sent Ned seem­ ingly satisfied him upon one point, for B wrote me Utfflfclhad had never thought of except as friends? ut, odd as that was, his manner of de­ termining to which he should propose was more eccentric stilL Writing me a long letter of instruc­ tions, he sent me two of his photo­ graphs, cabinets both of them, and skill­ fully executed, too. I rather think they flattered the dog, though he was a hand­ some fellow. One of the pictures was without a frame, the other was incased in a beau­ tiful gilt one and tastefully set off with an inner border of maroon-colored vel­ vet. . ' In whatever manner X oould I wa%to arrange it that the young ladies should together see the pictures and make a choice. The ohoioe in pictures was to deter­ mine which one was to have the good fortune of being his bride. I need not tell you that I managed it skillfully. I got the young ladies together and presented the offerings, saying that they were intended as Christmas gifts (it is of one year ago Christmas I am speak­ ing), but they must make their choice. Strange to say, they had little hesita­ tion in choosing. "You guess it all;" the heiress took the richer one with the elegant frame? Yes, you are right, she did, and the cousin took the unframed portrait, just as it stood, and for its own value. "And so, having found that the cous­ in loved him for himself alone, and not the brilliancy and richness of his sur­ roundings, he married her." I know that's what you were going to say, but you needn't say it, for it is not so. No, he married the heiress, the Maggie I told you of; she who has asked me to write this story. " Why did he?" Well, that I can't say, as I told you he always was eccen- trio. "What became of the other one?" I can best answer that by telling you what's going to become my wife if I can possibly get her consent. Yes, you see I always liked her, and then she is the only lady friend of mine who doesn't amuse herself at he expense of my bald head. Besides, as I am getting on in years, it has struck me that the commis­ sions for one woman are about as much as I ought to attend to. This is the story my old friend Jack told me, and, as I promised to put it in print for him, here it is. JBJEADY ANSWER8. A pretty long list might be made of men who have owed their advancement in life to a smart answer given at the right moment. One of Napoleon's vet­ erans, who survived his master many years, was wont to recount with great je how he had once picked up the Emperor's cocked hat at a review, when the latter, not noticing that he was a private, said carelessly, "Thank you, Captain." "In what regiment, Sire?* instantly asked/the ready-witted soldier, Napoleon, perceiving his mistake, an­ swered with af smile, "In my Guard, for I see you know how to be prompt." The newly-made Officer received his com­ mission next 1 morning. A somewhat similar aneeddte is related of Marshal Suvoroff, who, when receiving a dis­ patch from the hands of a Russian ser­ geant who had greatly distinguished himself on the Danube, attempted to confuse the messenger by a series of whimsical questions, but found him ful­ ly equal to the occasion. uHow many fish are there in the sea?" asked Suvor- eff. "All that are not caught yet," was the answer. "How far is it to the moon?" "Two of your Excellency's forced marches." "What would you do if you saw your mem giving way in battle?" "I'd tell them that there was a wagon- load of whisky just behind the enemy's line." Baffled at all points the Marshal ended with, "What's the difference be­ tween your Colonel and «nyself ?" "My Colonel cannot make me a Lieutenant, but your Excellency has only to say the word." "I say it now, then," answered Suvoroff, "and a right good officer you'll be." / THM RUB8IJUT ABMT. The Russian army is being consider' ably increased. The forty-eight bat­ talions of the first four reserve divi sions, formed in 1877, have not been disbanded, but have had forty-eight more battalions added to them. Meas­ ures having been taken to quintuple these ninety-six new battalions in time of war by reserves called in, the in­ crease for field purposes amounts to 480 battalions. Beside this, all of the old infantry regiments are raised from fif­ teen to sixteen companies each, the in­ creases from this measure amounting to \h%'battalions. Accordingly, 682 new bjiitalions are added to the 648 battal­ ions Russia possessed when crossing the Pruth in 1876. Tbere is, however, no adequate number of officers to be had. into bed. " Can't help it, mamma! Baby is too tired! Horace and Eddie must scuffle for themselves just this one night." _ ; CHBI8TMA8 AXD THK CMIZnnBK. The feast of Christmas suggests so many things connected with childhood that it becomes not merely the anni­ versary of the nativity of our Lord, but, in a secondary way> the festival of the innooence, joy and purity of children- la $le familiar story of the birth ef Jesus, in a stable at Bethlehem, the gathering of the shepherds to adore him, his presentation in the Temple and recognition by Simeon as the Savior, and the gifts of the wise men, we lose the idea of his divinity and think mainly of his babyhood. Behind the notion of the regeneration of hw manity by the incarnation comes the notion of the apotheosis of childhood in the Savior's assumption of its weakness and dependence; and men, thinking of his helpless infancy, so full of glorious promise for the race, naturally give way to lavish tenderness toward their own children, hardly less lovable in their purity and simplicity. Affection at such a time becomes in some sort religion. Love can plead the texts of Holy Writ in excuse for its prodigality. In every household there is something akin to the adoration of the shepherds. All the world over the wise and stern and strong bend in service before the help­ less and innocent, and bring gifts, if not of gold, frankincense or myrrh, like the Magi, at least as costly as they can afford, and as acceptable to purely hu­ man children as those symbolical offer­ ings were to the divine Child. Neither the shortness of the holiday season, nor the trivial nature of the things which contribute to its pleasures, should lead us to underrate its importance as a festival for children. To them the minutes of a holiday seem as long as ordinary hours, and their happiness is none the less sincere because its sources are simple. We can all remem­ ber the time when a few toys gave us more satisfaction than anything which we have since won in the serious con­ flict of life. Merry Christmas should therefore be dedicated to the happiness of the little people, in commemoration of the divine childhood. Let the boys and girls have a few days of perfect en­ joyment out of the year., They have at other times their petty trials, troubles and annoyances, and with increasing years the cares of the world will over­ shadow them and merry Christmas will lose its enchantment, its legends of ministering will become mere fables the glamour will fade from its panto mimes, and its delights will only be en joyable when reflected-through younger eyes. It did not interfere with the manifestations of glory and joy at the birth of Christ, that a life of labor and suffering were before Him, to be closed by an ignominious death. Getnsemane and Calvary were in the future, but none the less the heavens were broken up when he was born, and the angelic hosts descended about the shepherds, singing the canticle of peace and good­ will. It may not, therefore, be inappro­ priate for us to forget for a time the shadows that overhang our life in this season of festivity. The little daughter whom you kiss on Christmas morning may "grow up a dishonor to her race:" the son whom you lead by the hand to church may cloud your old age with shame; yet are they now types of good­ ness and purity, exquisite pieces of God's handiwork, and worthy of all honor and happiness. Let them, then, have merry Christmas while they may. The influences of the festival may keep them worthy of sharing in it.--New Yorlp World.
