It would linv brtn much better fur you it you lintl married John Treiimin," lie said, bitterly. Don't nay llnit, Hubert; I've never re gretted my choiee." "Not even when there is not a loaf of bread in the house fur you and the chil dren?" "Not even now, Hubert. Pou't be dis couraged. (I'od has not forsaken us. l'crhupa this Christmas live the tide will turn; better days may dawn upon us to morrow." Hubert Bruce shook his bead despond ingly. "You are more hopeful than I, Corne lia. Day after d:iy I have been in search of employment. I have called at fifty places, only to receive tbc same answer everywhere." Just then little Jimmy, who had been asleep, wuke up. "Mother," be pleaded, "won't you give me a piece of bread ? I am so hungry." "There is no bread, Jimmy, darling," aid the mother, with on aching heart. "When will there be some?" asked the little child, pitcously. Tears came to tho mother's eyes. She knew not what to do. "Jimmy, I'll brinp; you some bread," said the father, hoarsely; and ho seized his hat, and went to the door. His wife alarmed, laid her band upon his sleeve. She saw the look in his eyes; she feared to what step desperation miht lead him. "Hemcmber, Hubert, she said, solemnly, "it is hard to starve, but there are things that are worse." lie shook oil her baud, but not roughly, and without a word, pass.'d out. Out in the cold street I Tbero would be their only Imiiie next. For a brii l time longer he h.el lln' she lter of a che. r less room, but the rent would become due at the end of the mouth, and ho hail nothing to meet it. Hubert Hruee w.n a mechanic, com petent and skillful. Three years since, he lived in a country village where bis expense were moderate, and he found no difficulty in meeting them. Hut in an evil hour ho grew tired of bis village home, and remove I to tbc city. Here he vainly hoped to do better. For awhile he met with very good success; but a time of great depression came, and with it a sus pension of business enterprises. Work ceased for Hobert and many others. If he bad been in his old home, be could have turned his hand to something else, and, at the worst, could have borrowed of his neighbor till better times. So day by day he went out to seek work, only to re turn disappointed. If ho had been alone he could get on somehow, but it was a ore trial to come to the cheerless room and bis pale wife and hungry children, with no relief to offer them. When on that Christmas Eve, Hubert Bruco wont into tho streets, ho hardly knew how he was going to redeem the prom ise he had made little Jimmy. Ho was absolutely penniless, and bad been so for three days. There was nothing that he was likely to find to do that night. "I will pawn my coat," he said. "I oannot see my wife aud children starve." It was a Well worn overcoat, and that winter night ho needed something more to keep him warm. Weakened by enforced fasting, he was more scusitivo to the cold, and shivered as he walked along the pave ment. "Yes," ho said, my coat must go. I know not how t shall get on without it; but I cannot see the children starve be fore my eyes." He was not in general an envious man; but when ho saw sleek, well-fed men, but toned up to tho throat in warm overcnata, come out of tho brilliantly lighted stores; provided with presents for happy children st hum;, while hii wtru .Wviiig, he uf fcrrd some bitter thoughts, upou the in equality of fortune's gifts, to come to his mind. Why should they bo so happy, while he was so miserable? There was a time, he remembered it well, when ho, too, suffered not the Christmas Kve to pass without some little gifts for Jimmy and Agnes. How little he dreamed that they should ever want bread I There was one man, shorter than him self, warmly clad, who passed him with his hand thrust deep in the pockets of his overcoat There was a pleasant smile upon his faco. lie was, doubtless, think ing of a happy circle at home. Robert knew him as a rich cabinet maker and upholsterer. Ho had ap plied to this man only two daya before for employment, and been refused. Tt was, perhaps, the thought of the wide difference between them, so far as out ward circumstances wore, that led Hubert to follow him. After awhile the gentleman Mr. Grimes drew bis handkerchief from his po.ket. As he did so, be did not per civo that his poiTiet-book canto with it, and fell on the pavement. lie did not perceive, bill Hubert did. His heart leaped into his mouth, and a sudden thought entered his iniud. lie bent iiiielly down, ami picked up the pocket book, lie raised his eyes to sec if ihe movement was noticed. It was not. Mr. (Irimes went on, unheeding bis loss. ' This will buy bread for uiy wife and children," thought Hubert, instantly. A vision of tho comfort which the money would bring that cheerless room lighted up his heart for an instant, but then (' he was not dishonest there came another thought. The money was not bis, much as he wanted it. "But I cannot sec my wife and chil dren starve," he thought, again. "If it is wrong to keep the money, tiod will par don the offence. He will understand my motive." All this was sophistry, and ho knew it. In a moment he felt it to bo so. There wore some things worse than starvation. It was his wife who said this just before he came out. Could he meet her gaze when he returned with food so ob tained? "I've lived honest so far," be thought, "I won't turn thief now." Willi an effort he came to this decision, for all the while there was before bis eyes that vision of a cheerless home, and be cuuld bear Jimmy vainly asking for food. It was with an effort that he stepped for ward and placed his hand on the gentle man's shoulder, and extended the hand that held the pocket-hook. Thank you," said Mr. Grimes, turning round; "I hadn't perceived my loss. I am much obliged to you." "You have reason tu be," said Hobert, in a low voice. "I was very near keep ing it." "That would have been dishonest," said Mr. (jfimes, bis tone altering slightly. " Yes, it would; but it is hard for a man to be honest when ho is penniless, and bis wife and ehildeti with a crust." "Surely you and your children are not in that condition?" said Mr. Grimes, earnestly. "Yes," said Robert; "it is only too true. For two months I have vainly sought for work; I applied to you two days since." " l remember you now. I thought I had seen you before. You still want work ?" "I should feel grateful for it." "My foreman left me yesterday. Will you take his place for til'tccn dollars a week ?" "Thankfully, sir." "Then come to-morrow evening, or, ralher, as to-morrow will be a holiday, the day succeeding. Meantime, take this for your piosent necessities." He drew fratu his pocket sonic money, and put it into Robert's hand. "It's ten dollars !" said Hobert, in amazement. "I know it. The pockct-bouk contains nearly two hundred dollars. But for you, I should have lost the whule. I wish you a merry Christmas." "It will, indeed, be a merry Christmas," said Robert, with emotion. "Heaven bless yon, sir I Good night !" "Good night." James waited for her husband in tbc cold and cheerless loom, which for a few days longer she might call her home. An hour passed; there was a step on the stairs her husband's. It could not be, for this was a cheerful, elastic step, com ing up 'wo stairs at a time. She looked eagerly to the door. "Yes, it was he. The door opened. Robert, radiant with joy, entered with a basket full ol substantial provisions. "Have you got some bread, father?" a-keil Jimmy, hopefully. "Yes, Jimmy, some bread and meat, and here's a little tea and sugar. There's a few coals left, aro there not Jane? Let's hare a comfortable meal, for, please God, this shall be a merry Christmas," "How did it happeu? l'ray tell me, Robert." So Robert told his wife; and roon a bright lire lit lip the In-fore cheerless room, and there were four happy hearts that .uted in joyful hope for tlio dawn uf a ''merry Christinas Day." The next week they moved to better quarters. They have never since known what it was to want. Robert found a firm friend ill Mr. Grimes, and has rea son to remember, with a grateful heart, God's goodness on that Christmas Evo. Invalid Wife "The doctor says that the less I eat the belter." Husband "Ho is quite right." Invalid Wife (face tiously) "Hut if I should follow his ad vice literally I wouldn't eat anything. Consequently I would die." Husband "Certainly, but that doesn't weaken the doctor's position any." A descriptivo writer said of a pompous man that he looked as if he knew so much that it made him unhappy. tiii: SNOW. II V llENKV WARD llKKCIIEU. The falling of the snow gave sonic thoughts to Mr. Beeher for his sermon. "Consider tho weakness and the power ef the snow," ho said. "Can anything be gender? The child's hand catches it and subdue it. Krc he can see it it is gone. The babe can master that which masters mankind. Boys gather it; it is submissive. All tilings seem stronger than the snow, new bom. Yet, one night's weaving aud it covers llie earth, through wide latitudes and longitudes, with a garment that all the looms of the earth could not have furnished. One day more and it sinl s the fences un derneath it, obliterates all roads and levels the whole land as spade and plough and ten thousand times ten thousand engineers and workmen could not do it. It lavs its band upon the roaring engine and blocks its wheels. It stands before the harbor and lets down a w hite darkness that baffles the pilot and checks the home-returning ship. It mounts the hills and mountains, and, gathering its army without sound of drum or trumpet, until tho day comes when it charges down, and who tan with stand its coming in battle array? What power is this in the host of weakness? So the thoughts of good men small, silent, gathering slowly at length arc masters of time and of the ages. If such be the power of God's weakness, what must he the al mightiness of Gud, the thunder of His power? "Consider, also, that the decent of snow has relations not alone thus to fancy, but it is also a worker. It has become a pro verb that the snow, fresh and new fallen, is the poor man's manure. It gathers again the waste material ofthe earth, and, spread ing it with equal distribution over the lands, brings back to them their richness. Without the stroke of hammer or the turning wheel, more is going on under the silent suow to-day than in all the smithies, than in all the factories upon the earth. The powers of Cud upon earth are all silent underworkers. "As we perceive in the uses uf wiuler not simply chill and cold aud waste and barrenness, but all forms of beauty, all promises of strength and all lope for the coming summer, so may not our ..inter of trouble be to us ? tiii: i i'TiitK Mnvse.UMcn. A few hundred years, says a writer in the Portland (Me.) 'J'niiim'iil, make a future beyond all comprehension; we have no idea of the possibilities, except by con trasting wilh the past and present. A newspaper of one hundred years ago is a curiosity of more value than thousands of years of old pottery and bric-a-brac. Why? Because it gives a true history of (he lime when piibli.-heil, relates to facts that would be otherwise unknown, it touches facts beneath the historian's notice, yet of real interest to the people of to-day. Take one year's file of any metropolitan daily uf l SS I one hundred years from now, and you will have a history of the World beyond comparison. No historian would dare compete with the simple newspaper bought anywhere for two or three cents, worth to llie future generations sums not to be covered by money in fact beyond value. All this has come about in one bundled years. Now add a few hundred years to the newspaper and what will be the outcome? First Every town will have a paper of its own. Second Type will be set by machinery with the rapidity uf electricity. Third Every paper will contain a di rectory of every soul in town, giving full name, age, description, weight, business; directly below these these facts, a space will lie lell ami daily the vraicil movements of individuals will be given; no mailer how Minplc the fact it will apiicar, and make a diary every day, such us many privately keep at present. Fourth A list of births, deaths and marriages will appear, including the whole world. Fifth The pa-r will be bulky, but not disagreeably so; a lable of contents will readily put llie reader ill the right track, at d book form about tbc size of the Truut n t)it, will make an easily handled papir which will he sufficiently still' tu hold easi ly.

The pries p:iid was seventy-live cents a barrel. The prico ad vanced very rapidly, and in a short time the sticky compound was worth 81 a barrel. Tho plucky I'hiladelphian mort gaged his profits and not only bought out his partner's sharj in tho merchandise, but added largely to his stock.

SAW III W MOTHER'S ill()ST. AND TWO DAYS LATER HE ENTERED THE UIIOSTl.V REALM HIMSELF. Hartford, December 20. Last Monday night Patrick Donnelly, of this place, im agined that lie saw his mother, who has been dead for years. The next morning, while at work at the. l'falt & Whitney Company's saw mill, he was struck by a piece of wood and injured so severely that he died on Wednesday. The strange oc currence is causing a great deal of com ment. According to the story uf the widow, her husband uu Monday night took down from the shelf a volume of poetry to read, and the litst poem which opened to bis hand was one uf "Dealh." He began to read this, when his wife beg ged lum to desist as it oppressed her. lie smilcil at tier tears anil, remarking that he wollil do some writing before he retired, closed the book. Mrs. Donnel ly bade him good night and left the room. Mr. Donnelly had nearly completed his task when he heard the kit hen door open. Failing to hear the sound of its being closed he came to the conclusion that it was his dog which had entered. lie had barely entered the kitchen wheu lifting kis eyes he beheld in the middle of the apartmcut (he figure of an old woman, clad in dark garments, and about her stoopitig shoulders there fell the folds of a black shawl. Her face was wan and pale and very sad. She lilted her guant band and made a motion towards hi, then turned, walked slowly across the floor and out through the slill ripen door. She disappeared in the gloom and the door swung too and closed itself, leaving Mr. Donnelly standing awe-stricken at the othor end uf the runin. In a moment he regained his usual presence of mind and hurried to Ml bed room, where his wife, who was still awake, asked him what was the trouble. "t have seen my dead mother," be said in an affrighted manner. She tiied to persuade him that he was mistaken, but he lightly adhered to bis assertion. lie then related the facts as above given and appeared very much depressed. His wife tndeavored to cheer him, but all tu no purpose. Alter a short time he retired; and as stated ntoe Tuesday mim ing, went tu work aud Hl'teen minutes aftev commencing bis labors received the injury which caused his death. akoi t tiii: iiaik. HOW TO Dll ESS IT AND IIOW TO CAR E FOR IT VAI.I Alll.E HINTS. To have beautiful hair and keep it in health requires as much care as the teeth nails or face. So lu.iiiy twist the hair up in becoming fashion the year round, and wonder that it gets streaked, thin in spots, and seems harsh and dry. The hair should be loosened every night be fore retiring combed free from all tangles with a bone comb (rubber combs have doue much to split and break the hair nearly all have too much electricity tu use rubber); iheiiusea slilf brush for a long lime, brnshiiig from the top to tho Very ends. It is well for the lady whu has a uiaid fur it is impossible lu brush one's hair if very long. Theu kraid aad fasten the ends with soft silk braid for the night. The scalp should be kept clean and healthy; wash occasionally, tnd have it thoroughly shampoueil two or three times a year. To wash, braid the hair loosely ill sev eral braids, take a raw egg, and lub it thoroughly into the scalp (if beaten first it rubs it belter,) then rinse in cold water with a little ammonia incorpuratdu in it, wring the braids in a cuarse towel; sit by a fire or in the sun until dry, then comb out tho braids. The braiding prevents much snailing. Where one's hair is thin a quinine lotion will prevent its falling out and give lifo to the roots. The Paris ian fashions fur dressing children's hair are as follows: Ringlets are must favored fur baliies. Utile girlt have their hair waved and falling down the back wilh a colored ribbon to keep it in place. Some young girls have revived the fashion of light hair nets, wilh large niches, in which the hair falls louse and as low down as Ihe middle of Ihe back. This style shows the hair to great advantage and will probably meet wilh general op mv,,. From sixteen to wivcol.u yews uf age the hair is worn high and twisted un the top of tbc head. W ith this meth od of arranging the hair round hats have no elastics, so as not to conceal any part uf the pretty waves which the hair forms when tliui raised from the ne of neck. The hat is fastened to the hair by a steel pin with a shell or jet bead. "Its too bad," she said, coming into the dining-room, "but that nice pan of cream in the cellar was soured by the thunder storm last night, I don't know what to do with it." "Isn't the window Junes hav ing a hard time of it wilh her three little children," he asked. "Yea, she is wretch edly poor, I understand." Well, you had better give it to her."

I recommended Tom, and be managed affairs in such a tnann.ir that it wits hut a short time until he had a well established practice.

I was present at that con vention and was much amused at the interest taken in Tom by a mat named McKenzie, who was holding the position of doorkeeper. He came to me and asked me who that young fellow was who was speaking. I told him it was Tom Hendricks. "Where was he raised?" asked he. "In the swamps of Shelby county," an swered I. "Well, he will make his mark in this world, if ho was raised in the swamps," remarked McKenzie, and suro enough ho did long ago, "During Hendricks' canvass for Con gress the first time 1 accompanied him over the district.

"Right over there," said an uld society beau recently, pointing to a brownstonc front near the Executive Mansion, "lives a woman who might have been mistress of the White House under Democratic rule if she had seen fit to ac cept the hand of James Buchanan. She comus from a very wealthy Pennsylvania family and was courted by Mr. Buchanan. Her people wanted her to marry him, but she didn't want to. She loved a poor clergyman, rector uf a church in her town; but the family didn't want her to marry him, and su they arranged that ho should bo bo quietly transferred to an other post, some hundreds or thousands of miles away. This broke up the match and the maiden too, fut she went into re tirement at once and has married nobody.
