The trees were swaying to and fro, and the merry sleigh bells rang out, as if to welcome the coming Christmas But, let us turn our thoughts towards a large house that stood on a. fiela. In the second storey you could hear people talking, and we will listen to what they are saying. One said, “Just think, it is Christmas, Eve.” Thel speaker was a girl of about ten years, 1 with laree blue eyes, and light curls hanging gracefully over her shoulders. She was a pretty child and had a sweet smile for everybody. “My dear Winnie I do wish you would be more careful, you have knocked down my work-basket and havenpwet everything.” “0h Nursey, how unkind of me, please forgive me,” and the little girl threw her arms lovingly around her nurse’s neck. Then the breakfast bell rang, vâ€"b-- v‘-‘ â€"-V m, plunging ddfi Itha cntaract. of dea'u'a. “'e glide mm a vast. and unknowu space. The boundless ocean of 0' grainy. and the three children, Winifred, Roee and Regie walked down stairs to their breekfaat. Regie, a bov of about nine years, had large black eyes and brown hair, greatly contrasting with his sister’s light ha‘r. Rose, the baby and pet of the house, the beauty of the family, had small, little curls all over her head and dark blue eyes. At about five o’clock that evening three little watchers took their places at the window, about half an hour later a. glad cry broke from them all and then LL- D’ "V ’ .I a well-known step was heard on the threshold, and the three children were in their father’s arms. They had not seen him for aweek, but you know it seemed about a year to them. “Child- ren dear,” said their fother, “I have had nothmg to eat since breakfast and so you must let me go. And then the children let their father’s hands go and walked quietly to the dining-room where they sat down to their evening meal. “Oh dear I am act a. bit sleepy," said Reggie, “can not” I stay up half an hour longer?” to nurse as she came for them to go to bed, “Tnen Santa, laus won’t come Master Regie,” and without a word Rose, Regie and Winifred starts-d for bed. Christmas morning dawned bright and clear. Oh it is Christmas at last shouted Regie and Winme and Rose echoed his words. “I am going to look in my; stocking,” said Rose and the other1 children followed her example. Regie found his stocking contained a story- book, a pair of skates and candies, apples and other things, also a nice sleigh. Rose got a doll a doll’s set of dishes and a doll’s carriage, while Winnie got a pair of skates, a. story- book and a little watch. The children ran down stairs to show their parents and their friends, and I think no children spent such a happy Christmas, unless on the day which the Holy Child was born. 15’. B. A CHRISTMAS STORY. “My strength is as the strength of ten, l because my heart is pure.” Of all the noble or tender incidents that- thrilled our hearts while we watched over the flicker- ing, life of our scldier hero. General Grant, none pleased me better than those which donated his purity. It is said of him that he did not swear, did not tell or listen to vulgar stories, and did not hesiâ€" tate to say to the man who began a narra- tion with the remark that it would not: do to tell in the presence of ladies that then it would not (le to tell in the presence w? gentlemen. If I were General Grant’s mother, I would feel pron-'10?) of this rccwrul of puriry than of the world-Wide fame as a commaeder of armies. I believe his velour came largely from his purity, and I wish every boy in the world would make him in this respect his exemplar. But General Gin-mt Would not have been a pure-minded man if he had not been a purJ-xxifnded boy. You know that: all boys are not pure in thought or Word. Sometimes when nan-mg themselves they talk in a way that they fancy xs mimly, but they Wuuld nut want them umthers to hear them.

Burdette in the Christmas number of The Ladies’ Home Journal. Anything too big to go into a stocking had to go over to ; somebody’s birthday. In any family where there was more than any child, the old re- liable “Noah’s Ark” was always looked for. W'e hailed with acclamations of astonished recognition, Noah and Mrs. Noah, Mes- sieurs and Mesdames Shem, Ham and J aph- et. There was no way of telling the men and women apart; they were exactly alike; but the elephant and girafi'e you could dis- tinguish at a glance, on account of the spots on the giraffe. So also the dog and the cow; because the cow was always white and blue, while the dog was invariably plain blue. “’ithin twenty-four hours after the landing on Ararat, the baby would have all the int sucked off Shem, Ham and the hire man, and the doctor would be sent for. The red monkey climbing a. red stick vac another regular Christmas visitor. He was highly esteemed as a. 1i ht luncheon by the baby. It never seem to affect the infant unpleasantly, to himself, that is; although the cloudy symphony in red and blue about his innocent mouth was apt to make the beholder shiver. But it made the monkey look sick. Then there was s Soldier on a box, with a major-general’s nniform, beat- UUA’ "not. w na.--Jv. C""" ing a. drum. You turned a. crank, the gen- eral lifted his sticks high _in the air, and something in the box made a. noise as much like a. drum as a. pea! cf thunder is like a. piccolo. These things as toys were of no great value, but as practical and useful ob- ject lessons they were beyond all prices, on the minus side. Some interesting details about life at the court of Napoleon I. are to be found in a. new work called “L’Empire,” by M. Henri Bouchet, who has had access to official documents hitherto unpublished. One thing comes out prominently, and that is the lavish manner in which Napoleon spent the money of the poor taxpayers, already overburdened almost beyond endurance, to keep up an immense army for foreign ad- ventures. It was his aim to create a court which should rival in splendor those of his i predecessors, but there was one great obstacle to this, and that was the fact that there were very few rich people in France, the revolution having ruined all the old nobility. Napoleon therefore set about manufacting plutocrats out of his officers, many of whom were promoted from the ranks, and woe betide them if they did not spend at least a. consider- able proportion of their newly-ac uired wealth in ostentatious luxury. gunot, whose father was an innkeeper, received at ordinary times 263,000 francs a year salary, without reckoning an annuity from the Privy Purse of 30,000 francs or other “pick- ‘ ings,” such as his pay as a grand officer of : the Legion of Honor.

Pmsnum, Pm, Dec. 21,â€"Little 4-year- old Josopfi Guthrie was laid to rest in the McKeesport Cemetery Saturday, and the Mary goes: thlthflsmz' murdeterL almost. before he had passed the age of infancy because he was heir to $50,000 and stood In the way of mother’s mere chance to obtain the fortune. His mother 16 now sufi'ering from nervous prostrotion at the home of her sister, Mrs. H. D. Darbacker of McKees'port, brough‘ on by the tragic death of her little son. The supposed murderer is a man n he was an aspirant for the hand of Mrs. Guthrie and thought. the boy not only stood in the wall of his getting the foriune, but, also thought. the little fellow occupied too warm 9. place In the heart of the mother and pre- vented her from forming any inew attach- moms. John Guthrie. er., the father of the dead boy, was a. wealthy civil engineer and lived with his family on I. farm abuut four miles east of Latrobe. Four years ago, shortly after the birth of his son, he was taken iii with typhoid fever and died soon after- ward, leaving $50,000 to his infant son, which. ho'evcr, was to revert to the mother in case the son died before reaching maturity. After the death of the father everything ran along smoothly until about, one year ago, when on the day preceding Thanke- vinfi 1891, the boy Was suddenly taken 1 L e vomited and had griping pains in bi! stomach, but as he soon recovered nothing was thought, of it at the time. Shortly prior to the boy’s sickness Mrs. Guthrie, who was still young and said to have been quite pretvy, commenced to re- ceive the uttentions of a. man whose name “:6 friends of the family refuse to mention. However, the would-be suitor found but. little favor in the eye: of the widow, whose heart was wrapped up in the love of her on}; child. he boy Ioon re sined his former health and utrongth, u . Mrs. Guthrie, finding farm life too lonely, moved to Latrobe. On Merck l4: last. the boy was again mken suddenly sick with similar symptoms. only the second illness was for more severe than tho first. LIL Kis mouth became sore and be vomitedl freely, end on the third day Dr. H. W. ‘ Hitzreb of ncKemport, a trusted physician of the Emily, was sent for. After making a thorough examination, the doctor stated that the child’s illness was caused by some povorftl drug that bed been administered to him. Dr. Donnelly of Latrobe, was also ell-110d in, and he expressed himself to be of the same 0 inion as Dr. Eitzrot. Dr. Birchfield, w 0 attended the case from the first, reluctutly admitted thet the symp. toms indicated poisoning. The little fellov, after hovering between life and death for weeks, slowly began to recover, end by J tune I was able to walk again. «- 1-, _ _---..-.....l 4-]...4- h. r:- Gaul-II After he had so far recovered that he wu able to talk he aid to his mother: “Mam- ma, Hr. â€"â€" gave me a. drink and said, ‘ ‘Here, Joe, is something good for your 3 cough,’ and it burned my throat when it run down.” He repeated this several times to different friends of the family. Until that time there was no clue to indioete who had administered the poison. Suspicion now fell upon the mu whom the child had named as the giver of the strange drink, and he was immediately dismissed from the good graces of Mrs. Guthrie. A: a. result of the extensive ulceration of the stomach due to poisoning the boy’s whole system was deranged and weakened, making him an easy prey to any disease which he might contract. Acting under , 7 -LL .. .AAL the advice of physicians his mother 1:00]: him to Toronto. Canada, but the change made little or no improvement in his health. Remaining there but a. short time they re- turned. oing to the home of her sister, Mrs. H. . Darbacker of McKeesport. Little Joe seemed to be growing weaker instead of stronger, and thinking that the warm, balmy climate of California might possibly improve his health, on Nov. 14 his mother started for Pasadena, Cal., taking little Joe with her. He was taken seriously ill soon after they arrived there. The California. physicians stated that an abcess had formed in his stomach, caused by the ulcerated condition of that organ, which the Eastern doctors claim was due to poisoning. He died Dec. 17, and his re- mains was brought to McKeesport for inter- ment. Dr. Hitzrot was interviewed by a Times ’ *' winâ€"um: n...
