What can it mean ? I it aught to him
That the nights are long and the days are
dim?
Can he be touched by the grief I bear.
Which saddens the heart and whitens the
hair ?
Aout ('is throne are eternal calms,
And the strong glad music of happy pealms,
And bliss unruffled by any strife ;
How canhe care for m3r little life ?
And yet I want him to care for me
While I live in this world where sorrows
bel
When the lights die down from the path
I take,
When strength is feeble and friends forsake
When love and inuic that once did Mess
Have left me to s'lence and loneliness.
And my life song changes to sobbing Dray

Then my heart cries out for a God who
cares.
When shadows hang over the whole day
long,
And my spirit is bowed with shame and
wrong,
When I am not good, and the deeper shade
Of conscious ein makes my heart afraid,
And this busy world has too much to do
To stay in its coarse to help me through,
And I long for a Saviour can it be
That the God of the universe cares for me ?
O wonderful etoiy of deathless love !
Each child is dear to that heart above.
He fights for me when I cannot fight,
He comforts me in the gloom ef night,
He lifts the burden for he is strong ;
lie stills the sigh and awakes the song ;
The sorrow that bows ma down he bears,
And loves and pardons because he cares!
Let all who are sad take heart again,
We are not alone in our hours of pain ;
Our Father stoops from his throne above,
To soothe and quiet us with his love;
He leaves us not when the storm is high,
And we haye safety, for he is nigh ;

THE CHRISTMAS
WEDDING.
BY AMY RANDOLPH.
it (,l '
tl$S in chorus. It will be sacb
fan ; and grand-mother's old
wedding-dress tits you as if it
had been made for you."
'It yvonld be fun,'' said Philippa
Vane, with a half-laughing glance
into tbe old looking-glass, the tarn
ished gilt of whose frame was bid'
dan by antumn leaves and red
berries ana trailing pnnce's-pine.
And the picture reflected there was
not unpleasant to look upon a tall,
slim girl, robed in the yellowwhite
of an ancient brocaded wedd Dg
dress, with falls of creamy lace
about the round white shoulders,
scant gored folds, and a train which
lay full half a yard upon tbe floor,
sprinkled here and ibere with the
gleams of yellow seed-pearls a girl
with luminous dark eyes, and hair
of the rich chestnut brown that
looks almost black in the shadow
Philippa Vane was governess at
the big bouse on tbe bill and bad
come down to spend Christmas Eve
with tbe bevy of light-hearted girls
Maddox Farm. They had danced
under tbe mistletoe, told ghost
stories and played games, aid now,
seized with a sudden fancy for
masquerading, they had ransacked
the hidden stores of the ancient
storeroom and dressed themselves
in the lavender-scented raiment of
three-quarters of a century ago.
And they burst into tbe great mis
tletoeihung room crying out glee
fully :
"We're going to have a wedding
a mock wedding, you know.
Philippa is to be the br.de- Char
ley Dalton, will you be groom?"
''Not if I know it!" said Lilly
Dean, half earnest, for the young
gentleman iu question was her en-
gaged lover. If ever Charley is a
bridegroom "
IfT " echoed Daltou.
"Well, when Charley is a bride
groom if that suits you any bet
ter, sir no one shall be the other
party to the contract but myself.''
"But, Lilly," cried all the girls,
"only in fun I"
"Fan or earnest, it's just tbe
same," protested Lilly.
"Well, then, what shall we do for
a groom?'' said Mary Minturn, "Joe
Fen wick is too short. Henry
Howard would be sure to make
some horrid blander and set us all
laaghing at the wrong time. Oh,
girls, I have it! David Chester!''
Mr. Chester rose promptly up at
the utterance of his name.
"With the greatest pleasure,"
said he,
"Won't they make a splendid
pair 1" cried Ella Colby. And Mr,
Jaynes shall be the clergyman ; he
has such a nice, long beard and
looks so clerical.''
Philippa Vane shrank back a
little as the laaghing spectators
closed around the central group.
"Only in fun, you kDow," said she.
"i wouldn't care if it were in
eunesf," whispered Dnvid Chester.
"Come, go on, go on, Mr. Jaynes,"
tailed out Miss Minturn.
It, was a pretty sight; the great,
iwceiled room, all draped with ev
ergreen gailandJ, and studded with
f.'arlet bitter-sweet and bolly'.beri
nes, .be huge woods6re roaring up
the cavernous throat of tbe oll
t'ashioned chimney, aud tbe pict
uresque group in the middlo of the
room. As the last words of tbe
aeremony were uttered, the Dutch
clock in tbe corner struck twelve,
and a mammoth sleigh jingled up
to the door.
"It's father aud mother and tbe
old folks eome home," said Ella
Colby. "Surely, it can't be mid
night alreadvf
But the next minute the elders
jvere iu the room, bringing with
them a powdering of snow and a
gust ot fresh, wintry air, while
Philippa Vane, half ashamed to be
seen in the old weddings! res?, ran
iway, rosy and blushing, to get
.eady to go back to Harder Hall-
Presently Ella Colby came after
her with a frightened face.
"Pbilippa," said she to the
"bride," who was tying np her rose
bad face in a blue silk hood edged
with swan's-down, "don't be vexeJ,
but father is dreadfully put out.
He t-aya we have been playing with
edged tools that ou are legally
married to. David Cbeste!"
"Nonsense !" Phlllippa had turned
aa white as the swan'ssdown itself.
"Hut it's true. Pbilipua. Mr.
Jaynes studied for the miuistry
once, before hia health failed, and
was regularly ordained, years ago.
He never thought what he was
doing we none of us did. It was
only a frolic, but ob, Philipa, you
are married !''
Mits Vane made no answer, but
hurried breathlessly down-stairs,
with set lips and varying color.
David Chester himself stood just
with in tbe doorway. He held out
both hands to her, with a question
ing face.
- "Philippa !" said he- "My Philip
pa !"
She turned away from him with a
mute gesture of abhorrence.
"Never!" cried she. "How dare
you address me thus?''
Bat old Deacon Colby interposed
here.
'Child", said he gravely, "that is
hardly the tone to use. It's your
own doing. You are his wife, and
he can legally
claim you, if he
pleases."
"I shall not please," said David
Chester, dryly. "Miss Vaue is quite
at liberty to do as she chooses. But
I hope she will allow me to drive
her back to the Hall ?"
"No l" said Philippa quickly.
"Very well."
And so, without a word of adieu
to the man whom, until tosnight,sbe
had rather liked than otherwise,
Philippa Yane rode back to Harder
Hall through the auow and dark
ness ot the Christmas midnight.
Married ! Was it really true ?
Had she thus rushed blindfold upon
a fate which she shuddered to cons
template Ob, bow she wished she
could erase that one happy heedless
night out of her existence, forever.
There was one thing to be thanki
ful tor, however. Tbe Harder fami
ly were iu New York, gone thither
for the holidays. She could follow
them the next morniug and leave
behiud her these troubles and per
plexities for good and all.
It was not quite a year afterward
thU Philippa Vane met Mrs. Chas.
Dalton at Delmonico's, lunching
daintily the rosy little bride who
night
of the Christmas frolic.
"Oh, Philippa, I am so glad to
see you,-' cried Lilly. "And why
haven't you written to any ot us, or
been down to spend the summer
weeks? Do you remember tbe
mock-marriage at the old Colby
farm-house"
As if she had even once dared to
forget it !
"Well, you're in a fair way to be
a widow noou," stid Lilly, Miuiug
her cup of cbareolate. "Hh'.s yery
ill of Typhoid - fa ver, and the doctor
says he'H die.".
"Who?" uttered Philippa, faintly.
"Wb, David Chester of cauise.
Poor fellowjjit !ssad, when we come
to think of it drilling away into
the other world all by himselfwith

st'If with gin. But there's Cbariey,
come for me. Charley you remem
ber Miss Vane don't you! Aud
we've such a day's work of shopp
ing before us."
And the happy joung couple
vanished into the glitter aud spar
kle of Broadway, leaving Philippa
VaDe sitting alone before her inex-
pensiye cup of coffee in the great
brilliant restaurant.
Dyiug! And all aloue? Pbilip-
pa'a mind went, back to the old
days when she had half fancied that
she liked tho stalwart young Apollo
of the woods ; when hhe had secretly
thought he must be like his photo
type iu Scripture, "goodly, ami of a
fair presence." It was true that
for a year past she had hated the
very thought of him ; but was that
his fault ? And now he was dying
and alone !
m
Christmas Eve again ! Christmas
Eve, with a violate sky all sown
with glittering points of silver, aud
the river that traversed Chester
Farm bound in sleety armor of ice.
While through all the leatleas woods
tho icicles tinkled softly, aud tbe
beautiful snow lay shining all over
tbe wiutry world.
"Aud there were in the same
country sheperds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flock by night."
These were the sweet old words
which Philippa was reading to her
self by the shaded light in David
Chester's sick room, when she be
came conscious, by some inward
magnetic thrill, that be had opened
his eyes, and was looking at ber
with tbe glimmer of . reason once
more iu those orbs.
"Philippa Vane !" said he slowly.
"Hush !" fihe said, gently, while
the pulse of a great joy leaped up
within her heart.' "You roust not
talk now."
"Why are you here ?" be asked,
as if he had not heard her words.
"To nurse vou ; to take care of
you.''
"Why did you come !"
"Because I am your natural nurse
and guardian. Because," speaking
the works with an effort, "I am your
wife."
He turned his face to tbe pillow
with a groan.
"No," said he; "that is not en
ough."
She leaned over him sottly so
that her fragrant breath touched his
cheek.
"Because I love you, David," said
she. Because I am never going
away any more."
For in those hours of delirium
she had read bis heart and she had
read her own. God, in His mercy,
had spared him to her, and in the
peaceful sileuce of the starry
Christmas Eve a newer aud happi
er life had risen up to them both.
"Oi earth peace, good will toward
men." And where is there such a
peace as the peace of love?
"If I should tell you, dear," he
said, "that my love for yoa had
grown cold,that I had ceased to care
for you and that the happy time
when I shall claim you as my own
est own will never, never be, would
it really be a trial to you, darling?'
"Yes, George," shyly admitted the
girl; "it would be a breach of prom
ise trial."

Shall 1 lie .egro Vote ?
Within the past forty-eight hours
there has beeu a decidedly new
complexion placed upon the tight
against the force bill. It will be
remembered that last Saturday both
Senator bj ooner ami Senator In
galls made tho direct charge that
the South was enjoying a large rep
resentation in Congress based ou a
suppressed vote. This charge,
while not a new one, haa attracted
a great deal ot attention amoug
Southern Senators and members,
one of whom, at least, proposes to
put the matter to a tet iu the Sen
ate. Senator Butler, of South Car
o:ina, said .e.sterdiy to a Post re
porter tb if he iu (ended at the tirt
opportunity, and before tbe delati
on the force bill w is ( IoscmI, to ask
tbe gentlemen m the Republican
side if tbey will vote for a joint res
olution depriving the negro of his
right to vote. If by so doing the
Southern representation in Congress
is relatively reduced. "Ishill tel1
tbem," he said, "thai tbey will iot
dare vote for sueb a measure, and I
shall also tell tbem that 1, on ih
contrary, will give it my hearty
support."
Senator Pugb, of Alabama, wat
emphatic when ho said that the
South won'd not hesitate one mo
ment to give up any repreent-dion
based on the ngro o e if by so
doing it could forever eliminate tbe
negro as a political nonentity.
"This," ha added, "I am certain, is
the universal sentimeut of the
Southern people."
Senator Vance, ot North Caiolina,
Is not favorable to the proposition
He says that the whites are uumer
ically the stronger in tbe Old North
Srate ; that the races are living
peacefully together, and that tb
whites have nothing to gaia by
abridging the negro's right of suf
frage. "As an abstract proposi
tion," said be, ' I oppose it also. Tbe
result would be to iniect into our
body politic a large class of citizens
who cm nei'.her vote nor be voted
for. Tbey would constitute an ele"-
meut ot political at well as socia'
pariahs. Tbey would be an incubus
upon our material prosperity. They
would have nothing to appeal to
their berter instinct: They wou'wl
lose their manhood. They would!
be without responsibility, and us
such a dangerous element in tbe
community. We of trie South are
gradually working out this race
problem to a happy solution. A few
years more and we will have solved
it completely. Ah the iiegro ac
quires property be becomes a better
citizen. His interest is identical
with tbe white man, and with this
community of interest he is quite
as desirous of good government as
his white neighbor is. I don't know
how it may be in other States of
the South where the negro out
numbers tbe whites, bu-t in Norih
Carolina we are entirely satisfied
with the existing social aud political
conditions."
In tbe House there are many
Southern Representatives with out
spoken views on the subject Rep
resentative Stockdale, of Mississip
pi, said to the Post reporter that he
would be glad to Fee the negio
question taken out from politics in
the South, "even," he added, "if
this resulted in inv losing my seat
I n Congress." Representative
Catchiugs, of tho same State, said
that to eliminate the negro aud ac
cept the reduced representation
would be a happy solution of a vex
ing problem. Representative Oaten
of Alabama, said two.tbiids of the
South are in favor of reduced rep
refutation in Cougre-s and ti.e
