Mr. Bell downtown "was a man much re-
spected as a rich, successful merchant, much
feared as {an overshrewd financier; uptown
in his own house, he was just “father.”

never came into his mind. 0n tiptoe he
obeyed his wife's injunction and looked in
at the library door. ' ‘
“ What are they doing l" he asked, in a

“ Nonsense, child ; people aren’t so-exact

or three hundred calls would be a disgrace.”
“Of course,” said Sissy, with a sense of
the gravest responsibility; " and to secure

“Yes, and don’t disturb us,” added Miss

Mr. Bell lookedvamused, patted their heads
all around, and observed, in a mildly specu-
lative way, as he saw about one-quarter of
the number to be sent, “ It seems to me
there are a great many.” '
“It’s all right, papa; we know the cus;

a sigh of pious contentment, " and I’m

Crump, as he gave a hasty farewell nod,

stood nearest, said: “ It was a swear, an

business-like way just at the carriage-door.
“At last i” exclaimed Josie about 1 o’clock
—“ at last the marriageable men are coming.”
They came by saunas—menu»: led the
german, men who drove their own “ four-in-
hands,” men who lounged about clubs, men
who had “ seen'life ” in Falls, and watched
talkative young girls with a sinister interest.
Rather late in the afternoon Mrs. Bell be-
came so pleased with'a tall, handsome, dark.
hairedman of about thirty-five, who spoke in
a mellow voice and with .an English inflec-
tion, that she contrived to whisper to Josie,
“What’s hianame?” 3 -

dozens here whose faces even I can’t recall.”
“ Oh, yes," Sissy chimed in with a languid
smile,” “ we sent so many cards, you know.”

“ Oh, yes, certainly, of course. The girls

“ Charming custom,” ‘answered Mr. Mont-

and he hurriedly offered his arm. “My
dear madame " (he stammered dreadfully),
“ will you permit me to admire '," (he jsrked
out the words) “the works of art in the
next room 1’” '
Mrs. Bell turned about to ass at what he
was staring in that ghastly way, and found
standing behind her nothing worse than a
short, stout man of forty or so, with a florid
countenance, and a pleasant smile upon it,
who was waiting to pay his New Year’s
compliment-r" fThat-k dulygrecoivad ,éjs‘h‘aiitook
Mr. Montgomery’s proflérsd’arhi, and'went
into the next room to view a large oil paint-
ing. The stout gentleman followed than,
and cheerfully offered the remark, “ Fine
picture.” Mr. Montgomery dashed of to a
corner where there was a piece of statuary.
The stout man dashed OR to the corner also,
and gave the opinion, i‘ Fins‘statuo.”
‘I‘Poppet,” whispered Mrs. Bell, beckoning
the child to her, "go and ask Josie, this
gentleman’s name.
Meanwhile he was delivering quite alittle
lecture oust-t. . “The wonderful permanency
of works in marble renders them of "value to
the historian ; they are so to speak petrified
history,” he said blandly.
Poppet came running back, and said in
capital imitation of her elders. “We really
can't they who everybody ith.”~
, Mr. Montgomery's, attention seemed fixed
on a' fine etching "that hung near the open
door and he went toward it. The stout per-
son performed a sort of quadrille figure in
. front of him all the way and stationed him-
self on the threshold. Montgomery attempt-
ed to cross that threshold ; a fat hand met
his advancing shoulder and the words, “Oh,
no I” very gently spoken, met his ear.
The words were evidently softer than the
grasp ; for at the moment the three girls and
a train of callers were passing through to the
dining-room, where a collation was spread
and Mr. Montgomery staggered back, vio-
lently propelled by that plump hand. The
rude stout man seemed about to speak with
great vehemence, but he looked into the faces
of the three young girls in succession and
down into Poppet’s innocent, wide open-
_ ed eyes, then laughed and said, “Why ladies
here’s a fortunate meeting; this gentleman
hasiforgotten me, but I know him.” Mont-
gomery looked something like an upright
corpse. “I’ve been looking for him a long
time. Why Charles” and he put out his
hand—“don’t you remember—” Montgom-
ery was still uncanny to see. “Don’t you re-
member—your brother Jack ?"
Then the stout man seized the younger ,
one'a hand, wrung it and laughed again in ,
the heartiest way imaginable. The newly
found Charles stepped forward, lookedabout
wildly, then finally ejaculated, “Jack! oh,
yes, Jack l”
“Your brother Jack.”
“Yes. How d’ye do ?"
Mrs. Bell murmured in happy sympathy,
“How fortunate 1 what a delightful meeting 1”
and the girls chirruped like little birds about
the' wonderful scene, while the brothers
spoke quietly apart.
From that moment hearty Mr. Jack’s de-
votion to his 'newly found relative knew no
bounds. Arm in arm they went to the re-
freshment ltable,“ Charles had a singularly
small appetite, but Jack ate enough for both
and remarked with solicitude,“Chariie was
never very strongealways liable to turn pale
and break down—eh, old boy, weren’t you 1’”
_ :‘9Y’es, oh, ye—yes,” answered Charles.-
“Why” exclaimed Sissy, “it's quite won-

‘fWhy,”. said Jack, still holding Charlie’s-
arm, “I traced him to the Windsor, and see-

with a g'allantbow) “ of- paying'my respects

window, and there was a terrible trampling
and struggle there. ,
“ Help! help 1” come here 1” Mrs. Bell
ahrisked, for the three men-servants who
were in the house. They came running, and
in great excitement. They were racing and
chasing in the yard, and a great soufiling at
af gate that led out into the street (the house,
being on a corner); then came several pistol-
shots‘in quick succession. At thc'firing‘ all
the servants ran down the basement stairs,
one bravo fellow exclaiming:
' “ Don’t ”nabs-scared, missus; I’ac gwine
ter fetch d6 kilehiii' poker. ” "'
' Then in throngh‘tbe splintered sash came
Charles Montgomsry, and after him, much
breathed, the loving brotherJack,-a’ smoking
pistol in his hand and a dreadful oath on his
lips. Round and round the drawing-room
rushed the pursued and the pursuor. The
brave servant showed a woolly head and two
white eyes over the top step of the basement
stairs, and 'shbnted: “ I done got de poker,"
.then disappeared in safety.
Jack 'shriekcd: “ Givs up! give up, 1 tell

toward the frightened women for refuge,
called out: “ Lia saw}. on the floor, ladies;
I’m going to fire.”
Down on the floor they dropped, toilets,
and all; fire he did, and Mrs. Bell yelled loud
anngh, to bring 'in twenty gensod'armes if

At this moment a latch-key turned and Mr.
Bell came cheerfully into his home.
on the marblc’fioor .of the hall lay a tall
man senseless and bleeding. Over him stood
a short, florid man wiping the perspiration
from his forehead and ”putting up a pistol.
An exclamation of alarm and horror escaped
the master of the house.
Jack hurried to ‘say, “I suppose you are
Mr. Bell 1’”
" I 'am—and—and—‘J’ he assumed a threat-
ening attitu e.

and ‘a bunch of White faces looked out from
the back parlor door. Mr. Bell rushed to the
messenger alarm-box and gave the signal for
the police.
“Now, now keep cool and I'll explain,”
said Jack, pleasantly. “ This genteel person
who had an‘ invitation to call onyou‘ is a
fugitive from justice. He’s nothing less than

You see, he's been hiding for several years
and now, thinking pursuit was over, came
out boldly under a new name."
Two policemen appeared at the door.

While i’Mr. Bell was slowly taking in the

and at once had ,Mbntgomary, had who op-

Mr. Jack Trapper. followed, only turning
at the door to bow politely and remark:
“ I’m yery sorry, [ladies—I have a family
myself—but it all came from that card. My
prisoner is charged with—murder."
The scared woman turned to the chief of
police, who confirmed the statement, added
that the man, beyond doubt, was guilty,
promised to keepthe aflair out of the papers,
and also politely withdrew. ‘
“Great heavens!" exclaimed Mr. Bell to
his wife, “ how did you come to know the
wretch f”
“I—I didn’t know him,” she stammercd.
“We—we met him for just a few minutss
on the piazza at Ssratoga," Josie explained
in a trembling voice, “ and—and—well, you
know, it’s quite a fashion to send out New
Year’s cards so—so freely.”
Mr. Bell opened his lips for the strongest
invective that uptown had ever heard from
them, but he mastered himself, and only or-
dered, in tones of thunder: “ Go to bed,
every one of you! Go 1” \
Avery washsd.out rainbow of girls crept

“ I find," said the roused father to his wife
“ that fashion and society don’t guide and

govern our daughters, not. be governed by
them.” ‘
These things took place last year. This
year the three beauties are spoken as as “Mr.
Bell’s daughters” not “the Bell girls."

'I‘ho"i0are of Cows.
The dairy requires, -in fact, scrupulous
care in every department. It is a delicate
industry. And the care must begin with the
cow. It is not enough to have a good cow
and to' feed and water her properly; she
must in fact be made a pet of. That descrip-
tiOn of her treatment la the very best that
can be made. ;In handling her it should be
done as if she were a frail, delicate thing,
liable to injury from the slightest rough
touch or unkind word. Remembering her
excessive nervousness, she ought never to be
frightened, indeed not any more than a con-
siderate person would frighten a child, which
a considerate person would never do. Noth-
ing is eapablcof vexing us more than to see
a dog- playfully tormenting a cow. The
reader has often seen it. The dog enjoys
the sport, but the cow does not, and if it
were our dog and there wasgno other way to

Heavenward Bound.
A LITTLE not who rannp AWAY.
It was a threefold chord of love and tender-
ness that bound the heart of the grave and
silent father to that of his son Harry, for
the boy was motherless; nay, worse than
motherless, since his loss came through a
living death! Sometimes ,it seemed to the
sorrowing man as if he could not endure the
anguish of the child’s presence. Again, he
would pour out upon him all the pent up
love of his deep, strong nature, and vow in
his heart that he would be father and mother
both' to his boy.
Fond delusion! between the heart of mother
and child vibrates :an electric chord over
which nature sends her strange, mysterious
messages, borne hither and thither by angels
of light. Theirs is a joyflin which a stranger
inter-meddleth not. The child yearned
hourly for the mother who was lost to him ;
of whom his, latest memory was of kisses
bedewcd fwith tears; the young, pretty,
gentle mother, who, amid the gay revelry of
the pleasures of a season, would suddenly
clasp her hands over her dark, passionate
eyes, and cry out : “ Hush! Is that ababy’s
voicc’fi and shudder when a little child
looked at her with its pure, innocent smile.
It was another bitter drop in the father’s
cup of sorrow when the boy would turn
Wenrily from hisvendearmcnts to cry over
and over’ again, with longing voice, "Take
me to momma 1”
But at last, worn out by disappointment,
the little fellow ceased to talk of her, and
his father hoped he had forgotten, and would
become the merry, romping boy of the old
happy days before any serpent had entered
their Eden; that all at once it dawned upon
him that Harry was drooping—grown
strangely white and quiet. In sudden alarm
the father took his boy to sunny France, to
balmy Italy hoping that change of air would
cure him. He never mentioned his mamma
now; but he faded day by, day, and at last
they went back to the old home, the som-
ber, brick-walled house in the heart of Lon-
don.
It seemed to do Harry good to be back
again among his own precious thing's; his
eyes were brighter, his strength returned and
a lovely red came into the thin cheeks, but
he ran about no more, only laid still in his
father’s arms and looked away, away be-
yond the houses and streets to a glimpse of
western sky that he was never weary of
watching.
One night he seemed to be talking in his
sleep; his father bent down close, close to
the feverish lips, andfishrunk as he heard the
old, familiar,cry, " Mamma.”
“ What is it darling?" asked the stricken
man, and there was all of a woman’s tender-
ness in his quivering voice.
The child opened his eyes—his breath
came fast and hard.
“ Pa pa 1"
" What is it, my own boy 1'"
“Papa—am—I to see mamma before I go
to heaven. .
Oh! what agony wrung the father's soul,
but he controlled himself to answer :
“ Do not talk of dying, Harry; papa can-
not spare his baby.” -
But the child asked the question again,
and so imploringly that his father was fain
to say:
“ If you go to heaven, Harry, you will find
mamma there."
Then a sweet content, a peace like “ the
shadow of a great rock in a weary land” fell
on the dear face; he folded the tiny hands
with a sigh, and said faintly in a tried
voice:
“Dear—Je'sus—take-me—to—my—mam.
ma.”
A sudden chill wind seemed to pass over
the father's heart—he looked into the eyes
opened wide, and full of a new, glad light,
“ the light that never was on sea or land,”
and he knew then that he held In his arms
only the sweet, precious form of his dead
boy!
And the mother ?
I do not know ; the little life that was so
soon over may have had a holy mission or.
dained here to be carried on “in a land that
is fairer than day."

or unwillingly. No part of it falls from the
moon. None of it is contributed by fairies,
Aladdin lamps, or other supernatural aids.
Every dollar must be taken from those who
have earned, or whose ancestors have earned
it. The 50,000,000 inhabitants of this country
must somehow contribute an average of six
or seven dollars per head per year to the
Government. The task of statesmanship in
dealing with the subject is two-fold: First,
to get this money as easily as possible—with
as little resistance on the part of the tax-
payers and as little rufling of their temper
as may be,; second, to produce as little harm
and as little disturbance as possible to the
industry and traffic by which the people
make their living. ’
, In the long list of things, corporeal and
incorporeal, which have been at times made
the subjects of taxation—sufilelent in number
to fill a considerable volume—tobacco and
intoxicating liquors. and drugs have been
found to answer both of these requirements
perfectly. ' That is to say, the taxes levied
upon them (if not so high as to promote
smuggling and illicit distillation) are paid
more readily and with less grumbling than
any other taxes? They likewise produce less
harm and constitute less burden upon trade
and industry than anyother taxes known to
the science of finance. Being voluntary con-
tributions to the treasury they are precisely
the last which a statesman would throw
away. Indeed, there would be some reasons
for laying a tax on distilled spirits, even if
the Government needed no revenue at all.
We purpose at all times to keep before the
people the tax on sugar, as a counter-irritant
to the tobacco bill. Each of these articles
yields about 847,000,000 of revenue. The
one is an indispensable article of food, the
other an article of luxury, deemed hurtful
by many, and not, necessary to any human
being, even as a medicine. When any wise-
acre talks about the need of reducing the
revenues and depicting the treasury, so that
Congress shall not be temptedto make waste-
ful appropriations, let him be pointed to the
tax on sugar as a place where revenue can be
dispensed with and a great boon conferred
upon the people. It is not to be inferred
that the repeal of sugar duties would be a
wise measure par u—$47,000,000 is a large
sum» to be scooped outgof the revenues at
once—but as between tobacco and sugar, in
their revenue aspects, the difference is almost
*as great as between vice and virtue—N. Y.

THE: BAD BOY PLAYS MASON AND GIVE. HIS
PA THE ROYAL BUMPER DBGRIE.
“Say, are you a Mason, or a nodfellow or
anything ?" asked the bad boy of the grocery
shelf and took out along stick of cinnamon
bark to chew.
“Why yes, of course I am. but what set
you to thinking of that i” asked the grocery.
a fresh candidate?" .
“No of course not. The goats are cheap
ones, that have no life and we muzzled them
and put pillows-over their heads, so they
can’t hurt anybody,"says the grocery man, as
he winked at aibrothcr Odd Fellow who was
seated on a sugar barrel, looking mysterious.
“But why do ask f"
“0, nuthin; only I wish me and my chum
had muzzled our goat with a pillow. Pa
would have enjoyed his becoming a member
of our lodge better. You see, pa had been
telling us how much good the Masons and Odd
up good so we could jine the lodges when we
got big and l;;_uakcd r. if it would do any
hurt for us to have a play lodge in. my room,
and purtend to nishiato and pa said it
wouldn’t do any hurt. He said it would inr-
prove our minds and learn us to be men. So
my chum and me borried a goat that lives in
a livery stable and carried him up to my
room when paraud ms was out riding, but the.
gqal. blotted so we had to tie a handkerchief
around his nose and his feet made such a
noise on the floor that we put some baby's
socks on his feet, Well, sir, my chum and
me practiced _with that goat until he could
hunt a picture of a goat every time. We
borried a buck beer signfrom a saloon man
and hung it on the back of a chair and the
goat would hit it every time. That night pa
wanted to know what we were doing up in
my room and I told him we‘ were playing
lodge and improving our minds and pa said
that was right, there was nothing that ‘did
boys of our age half so much good as to imi-
tate men and store by useful nollidge. ’ Then
my chum asked pa— if he didn’t want to come
up and take the grand bumper degree and pa
lai’fed and said he didn't care if he did just to
encourage us boys in innocent pastime, that
shut the goatup in a closet in my room and
he had got over blatting, so we took off the
handkerchief and he was eating some of my
paper callers and skate straps.
.“We went up stairs and told pa to come up
pretty soon and give three distinct raps and
When we asked him who comes there he
must say a pilgaric who wants to join your
ancient order and ride the goat.” Ma wanted
to come up too, but we told her if she came in
it would break up the lodge, cause a woman
couldn't keep a secret and we didn’t have
any side saddle for the goat. Say, if you
never tried it, the next time you initiate a
man in your Mason lodge, you sprinkle a
{little kyan pepper on the goats beard just
before you turn him loose. You can get three
times as much to the square inch of goat.
You wouldn’t think it was the same goat.
Well we got all fixed and pa rapped and we
let him in and told him he must be blindfold-
ed and he got on his knees a laifing, and I
tied a towel around his eyes and ‘than I
turned him around and made him get down
on his hands also and then his back was
right towards the closet door and Iput the
buck beer sign right against pa’s clothes. He
was lafiing all the time and said we boys
were full of fun as they made ’em and we
told him it was a' solemn occasion and we
wouldn't permit no lsvity and if he didn’t
stop lafiing we couldn’t give hin the grand
bumper degree. Then everything was ready
and my chum had his hand on the closet door
and some kyan pepper in his other hand and
I asked pa in low bass tones if he felt as
though he wanted to turn back or if he had
nerve enough to go ahead and take the degree.
I warned him that it was fulLof dangers, as
the goat was loaded for beer and told him be
yet had time to retrace his steps ifhe wanted
to. He said he wanted the, whole biziness
and we could go ahead with the menagerie.
Then I said to pa that if he had decided to
go ahead and not blame us for the consequen-
ces, to repeat after moths following; 'Bring
forth the Royal Bumper and let him Bump 1’
Pa repeated the words and my chum sprinkled
the kyan pepper on the goat’s mustache
and he sneezed once and looked sassy and
than he see the lager beer goat raring up and
he started for it just like a cow catcher and
blatted. Pa is real fat, but he knew he had
got hit and he grunted ane said ‘Hell's-fire 1
what you boys doin’?’ and then the goat gave
him another _ degree and; pa pulled off the
towel and got up and started for the stairs
and so did the goat and ms was at the bottom
of the stairs listening and when I looked
over the banistcrs pa and ma and the goat
were all in a heap and pa was yelling murder
and ms was screaming fire, and the goat was
blalting and sneezing and hunting and the
hired girl came into the hall and the goat
took after her and she crossed herself just
as the goat struck her and said, ‘Howly moth-
er, protect mel’ and went down stairs the
way we boys slide down hill, with both
hands on herself and the goat rared up and
blatted ‘ and pa and ma went into their room
and shut the door and than my chum and me
opened the front door and drove the goat out.
The minister, who comes to see ma every
three times a week, was just ringing the bell
and the goat thought he wanted to be nishi.
ated too and gave him one for luck and then
went down the sidewalk blotting and sneez-
ing and the minister came in the parlor and
said he was stabbed and then pa came out of
his room with his suspenders hanging down
and as he didn’t know the minister was there
he said cuss words and ms cried and told pa
he would go to hell sure and pa said he didn’t
care, he would kill that kussid goat afore he
went and I told pa the minister was in the
parlor and he and ma went down and while
they was talkin’ religion with their mouths
and kussin the goat inwardly, my chum and
me adjourned the lodge and I went and stay-
ed with him all night and I hain’t been home
since; but I don’t believe pa will lick me,
cause he said he wouldnot hold us responsi-
ble for the consequences. He ordered the
goat hisself and we filled the order, don’t'you
see ? Well I guess I will go and sneak in the
back way and find out from the hired girl
how land lays. She won’t go back on me,
cause the goat was not loaded for hired girls.
She just happened to get in at .the wrong
time. Good-bye, sir. Remember and give
your goat kyan pepper in your lodge."
As the boy went away and skipped over
the back fence, the grocery man said to his
brother Odd Fellow, “If that boy don’t beat
the devil then I never saw one that did. The
old man ought to have him sent to a lunatic
asylum.”—-Ha'lwaulm Sun.

mistaken for consum tion; the patient complains
of weariness and debi icy; nervous, wsily startled;
feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and dcs ndcnt,
and, although satisfied that exercise would at bene-

examination after death has shown the Liver to
have bcbn extensively deranged.
It: should be used by all persons, old and

The Night After Christmas.
FROM PUNC‘.
-——-
_ 'Twas the pi“ after Christmas, when all
through the house
Every soul was shed, and still as a mouse:
Those stockings so. late in St. Nicholas' can
Were empty of all that was salable there.
The darlings ,lild duly been tucked ill their
beds, .
With very full stomachs, and pains in théir
heads, .
I was dozing away in my new cotton cap,
And Nancy was rather far gonein snap.
When out in the nursery rose such a cla fer,
I sprang from my sleep, crying, ‘9 What Is
the matter f”
I flew to each bedside—still half in a doze-
Tore open the curtains, and threw of the
clothes;
While the light of the taper served clearly to
show
The pltzous plight of those obj! of below: .
For swim to the fond father’s ayes should
appear 3
But the little pale lacs of etch sick Iltt‘s
dear !
For each pet that had crammed itself full as
a tick
I knew in a moment now felt like old Nick.
Theirpulsea were, rapid, their breathinga the
same; '
What their stomachs ejected l’.l mention by
‘name : ‘
Now turkey, now atufilng, plum-pudding, of
course, ‘
And custards, and crullers, .and cranberry
sauce;
Before outraged nature all went to the wall,
Yes, lollypops, fiapdoodle, dinner and all.
Like' pellets which urchins from popguns
let fly,
Went figs, nuts, and raisins, jam, jelly, and
Pie 1
Till each error of diet was brought to my
view,
To the shame of mamma' and of Santa Claus,
too.
I turned from the sight, to my bedroom
stepped back,
And brought out a vial marked “Pulv.
lpecac;" -
_ When my Nancy exclaimed, for their suffer-
ings shocked her, ' .
“Doa’t you'think you had better, love, run
for a doctor ?”
I ran; and was scarcely back under my roof
When I heard the sharp clatter of old Jalap’s
hoof, '
I might say that I scarcely had turned myself
round ' ‘
When the doctor came into the room with a
bound. , '
He was covered with mud from his head to
his foot,
And the suit he had on was his very worst
suit ;
He hardly had time to put that on his back,
And he looked like a Falsthfl half fnddlcd
with suck;
I
His eyes, how they twinkled!
doctor got merry ?
His lips looked like port, and his breath
smelt like sherry.
He, hadn’t been shaved for a fortnight or so,
And the burden his chin wasn’t white as
the snow.
Had the
Bat, inspecting their tongues, in spite of
their teeth, -
And drawing his watch from his waistcoat
beneath,
He felt of each pulse, saying, “Each little
belly
Must get rid "—hera he laughed—“ of the.
rest of that jelly.”
I gazed on each chubby, plump, sickmm
elf,
And groaned when he said so, in spite of
myself;
But a wink of his eye, when he physieked
our Fred, ,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to
dread.
He didn’t plenum; but wont mommy
to work, 1 -
And dosed all the rest—gave his from a
jerk-
And, adding directions while blowing-his
BOSE. I
lie buttoned his coat, frnm his chair he srcss.
Then jumped in his gig, gave Old Jalsp
whistle, >
And Jalap dashed 0! as if pricksd by I
thistle;
But the doctor exclaimed ere ho drove 011‘ 0‘
sight, ' . .
“ They’ll be well by to-mon'ow; good-night.
Jones, good-night." .~
Charity.
Only a drop in the bucket,
But every drop will tell;
The bucket would soon be empty
Without the drops in the wall.
Only a poor little penny,
It was all I had to give;
But as pennies make the gulneas,
It may help some cause to live.
A few little hits 01311an
And some toys—they were not new;
But they made the sick child happy,
Which has madc'me happy, too.
Only some outgrown garments—
They were all 1 had to spare; ‘
But they’ll help to clothe the needy,
And the poor are everywhere.
A word now and them of comfort,
That cost me nothing to say;
But the poor old man died happy,
And it helped him on his way.
God lovcth tho cheerful giver,
Though the gift be poor and small ;
What doth he think of his children
When they never give at all f
- Enchange.
