It was Christmas eve, and theCommissioners did not care to Bpendmuch time in their hall when theycould be so much more pleasantlyengaged in buying handsome Christmaspresents for their wives and children.They passed the following bills:

MoKlrjtanOilCo.,oll 77 $37.7BMorford Bra., coal for nre com«nies so. ooR. A. Blcklea, assessing corporation and'

watertax.. 23.28Goo. lUentainr, lampllgntlng <or December. S3.07Jo«. II. Beert, work on atrwui SS.00J. B. Groter, work on streets and furnishing

Street Superintendent Thompson wasnot present to endorse the road bills, andas the men who had worked on thestreets wanted their money so that theycould keep Christmas in a befittingmanner, the board passed their billswithout the usual formality. A discus-sion ensued between B. E. Roberts andthe Commissioners relative to lightingthe streets with electric lights. Thematter was laid over until the nextmeeting, and the board adjourned.

ville was bought some time ago by Wm.J. Leonard, who turned it into a dwell-ing house and placed an' observatoryand flag-pole on top of it. A week agothe flag-pole was found decorated, withan empty beer bottle. A few nightsafterward the pole and bottle both dis-appeared. After three daya the polewas replaced. All this was said to bethe work of "the gang." But it appearsthat "the gang" is capable Of doinggood acts as well as mischievous ones,for on the same night that the Bag-poledisappeared, Capt. Falkenburg's yawl,which was damaged two weeks ago bya collision, was mysterionstyput incom-plete repair, and made ready to be ship-ped in the government steamer, RosaIsland, for Florida, where she is to beused by a lifa-saving*station. There iasome hope for .the. gang, sometimescalled the " Hopeful Band," after a workof this character.

On Christmas night some thieves madean unsuccessful raid ou Dr. Patterson'sturkeys at Chapel Hill.

During the warm days last week,while the tides were running very low,there were hundreds of men and boysengaged in Boft clamming on the flatawest of Parkertown. They reaped a richharvest for three days. Parties werethere from as far away as Old Bridgeand Cranberry. All sorts of vehicleslined the shore, and the diggers carriedspades, corn hoes, pointed shovels, bas-kets, pails and wash-boilers.

Among the visitors to Atlantic High-lands last week were S. T. Champion, the.Rev. J. E. Lake, J. C. Nobles, Dr. Sayreand Mrs, Pope.

It is reported tbat a reservoir Is to beconstructed at the Highlands to supplyMonmouth Beach and Seabright withwater during the summer drouths.

The first annual ball of the AtlanticHighlands cornet band will take place atNavesink Hall on Thursday evening,January 7th. The committeeof arrange-ments are J. W.

The application to the Legislature fora bridge across the Shrewsbury, fromRed Bank to Conover's or Patterson'sPoints, will., be urgently pressed a* aconvenience and a needed improvement.At the same time application ""• hemade for a public road leading from theMiddletown terminus of the bridge andgoing in a straight line to the bay snore.

There is wide-spread satisfaction atthe prompt movement of the Board ofFreeholders in lighting up Cooper'sbridge.* The other day some of the rollickingyoung men who reside within the morn-ing shadow of Atlantic Highlands re-paired to J. B. Mills's brick-yard and in-dulged in some athletic exercises, suchas throwing the mallet, throwing brioks,etc., for drinks. One of the pillars ofone of the Methodist ohurches of Middle-town township came along and joinedheartily in the game. But whether hepaid his losses or accepted hi* gain*, inaccordance with the conditions of thegame, is not known to Tent Rsflanwtreporter.

The revival at the Methodist churchin Navesink still progresses. The night-ly meetings are largely attended and anumber of converts have been made.

TOWN TALK.

Vl ftcpi* Hen*i iif pledge

The Rate of Interest.." The bill to reduce the legal rate of

interest to five per coat, will be aprominent subject in the Legislaturethis winter. While fivo'per cent, maybe all that capital is worth during thepresent business depression, capital willbe worth more when business, whichhas already begun to revive in manufac-turing centers, becomes brink. Unlessthe Legislature could arrange a elidingrate of interest, which would adjustitaelf to the demand for capital, or BOarrange the volume of curruncy of thecountry that it would vary with the de-mands of business and so always main-tain a uniform ratio with the require-ments of business, it would bo muchbetter to leave the price for the use ofmoney, like the price of other goods, tobe' decided according to the laws ofsupply and demand ; •ttud as it is mani-festly impossible for the Legislature todo the former, the latter is preciselywhat should be done. It might be wellfor the Legislature, in order to preventdisputes, to fix a rate of interest whichshould be considered the legal rate whenno rate was specially agreed upon, butthis is the extreme length to which theLegislature should go.

At the present time, although the lawpermits six per cent, interest to be taken,there is no difficulty in borrowing moneyat five per cent., provided good se-curity is offered. This was - shown bythe manner tin which the water-bonds ofthe town were taken. Loans on real es-tate can also be readily made at thesame rate of interest.

Borrowers can obtain money at this- rate, not because the law says it is legal,but because money is not at the presenttime worth more than five per cent.,where the security is good.

But the law which makes a higherrate than Biz per csnt. unlawful, is adirect injury to the very people it i« in-tended to protect—'the poorer class of bor-rowers. . Their security is not sufficient-ly good to enable them to get moneyfrom the banks, and men are not willingto risk their, capital for six per cent.There are plenty of people who wouldloan money on the security these peopleoiler at eight or ten per cent., but whowould not lend at a higher rate titan sixper cent, because it is illegal. Buch astate of affairs compeU this class of bur-rowers to obtain their money frompeople who have no scruple about vio-lating the law in this respect, and whocharge anywhere from twenty-live percent, a year to fifteen |>er cent, a mouth.Small loans are made al these ratesalmost daily in Red Bank, if half thecurrent reports are true. The borrow-ers are compelled by necessity to paythese prices for the use of money, whileif there were no legal restrictions as tothe interest which could be charged,they would be able to borrow at a slightadvance on the present legal rate frommen who now refuse to do so because itis in violation of the law.

The price of money tthould be left tothe law of supply and demand. To re-strict the price which shall be paid forthe ust of money is no benefit to thelarge borrower and is a positive injuryto thoss who borrow small sums.

<4 thai, U**iHf w«y jp over the result at the

teoapatanoe campaign, mad predict greatgood to Uw place bom the work. Buta« the proof of the pudding is in theeating, so the actual benefit derived fromtemperance work can be seen only bythe result. At the January and Hayterms of court this year 88 hotel licensesand 12 saloon licenses were granted atLong Branch. If by reason of the tem-perance crusade at that place the num-ber of licensed hotels and saloons shouldbe decreased -and those places whichsell liquor illegally broken up, then thepublic will believe that Haybee andEnglish's visit has been productive ofsubstantial good, but if otherwise, other-wise. '

• • •The Standard last week stated that

complaints had been made to ProsecutorHaight "regarding extensive forgeriesalleged to have been committed recentlyby Robert Cooke, formerly of Red Bank,now of Freehold," and added that thematter would come up before the nextgrand jury. It is further reported thatefforts are being made to keep the matterfrom coming before the courts, andthat after all, the matter is only that of

good man who has gone H littleastray."

« • *If Robert Cooke has beijn committing

forgeries lie should be sent to StatePrison, notwithstanding his social posi-tion. As to his being "agood man"who has only gone a little astray, "agood man" will not' commit forgery.George Layton, whose exploits weresuch as to convince many that he wasof unsound mind, was sent to StatePrison for two years, thoujh the totalamount of his forgeries did not amountto a hundred dollars.

Forgery is becoming altogether toocommon an offence in this community.There is plenty of material for the grandjury to work on, and they should makea thorough investigation of the matter.They should not permit Mr. Cooke'ssocial standing or his family connec-tions to influence them, and should thefacts warrant it, an indictment shouldbe brought in as promptly ae in the caseof LaytoD.

handed to me from Town TreasurerWin. Cullington, concerning the assess-ment of the National Banks of thisplace.

But the com-munication is of such an important na-ture, and of such interest to every tax-payer of the town, township and county,tliatr I desire to especially call to it theattention of everyone.

Assessments In Red Bank.To THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER :

While collecting the taxi's for thetown of Red Bank I noticed that theFirst National Bank was assesned upona valuation of $50,000, and paid thisyear $162.00 corporation and water tax ;the Second National Bunk is not assessedand pays nothing.

I asked the reason of thiB from Rich-ard Sickles, the Ausensor. He told methat the Firet National Bank paid 12 percent, dividend on its capital utock, andtheSecond National Bank only 8 per cent.I think thisa very unsatisfactory explan-ation. Mr. Sickles also told me that thebuildings and lots of- both institutionswere not assessed. Can anyone explain ?

On Sunday morning Mr. Parker waswalking around his place with his watchiiog, when he heard a shot and his dogran up to •hiin and fell dead.

One of tbe closest type-setting contests tookplace 011 the ISth for $500 a side In the compos-ing-room of Frank Tousey's publishing-house.North Moore street. New York. The contest-ants were Joseph McCann, of tlie Herald, whoheld the championship badge, and WMIam C.Barnes, of the World. William Wbite. of theFinancial Chronicle, was chosen referee, audprevious to commencing he read the articles otagreement, which provided that the matchshould be of four hours' duration, solid minion,twenty-live ems wide, without a break, eachman to empty bis own sticks and to correct hisown proof, quality ol workmanship to count.At the end of the four hours It was found thatDie Herald man luid set 8.0C2H ems. while theWorld man was HIM ems behind or 7,»M.M'Canii corrected his proofs In 14 minutes aii-tbarues In 23. ^icCanii was declared tbe winnerCommissioner Illack, of the Pension Office,

Washington, has made a ruling In the case of apensioner who, with her husband, deeded a por-tion of their small estate to a second party Inconsideration of a life maintenance of claimantand her husband. The Commissioner says:" The quest lou arises as to the right to a pensionduring the period for which maintenance wasthus furnlshixl, the consideration thereof beingAeld by some to have been Insufficient. TlieCommissioner holds that the Insufficiency ol theco'hslderatlon does not enter Into tbe questionso long as the contract WAS compiled wltb by tbesecond party. It not appearing that he was boundtoy duty and affection to assist this claimant, butliat tbe transaction was purely a business one,md the pension. It granted, should be withheldduring the period ot said non-dependence."

A huge Christmas, tree, bearing all kinds ofgifts for the patients and attendants at theCounty Hospital In Chicago, and lavishly Illumi-nated, with wax candles, caught fire ChristmasDay while a hundred or more people werepacked closely about It. The tree and Its con-tents blazed so freely that the clothing ot sometwenty persons staudlng nearest to It caughtfire. Several persons were Injured In the ruinfor the door. Over three huudrod persons wereIn tbe chapel when the accident nccurred. Thesmall room was densely packed, and " SantaClaus" was forcing Ills way through tbe crowdto the tree to distribute tbe gifts. The excite-ment was Intense, and but tor the coolness ofWarden McOarlgle and some attaches ot thehospital lives would cerUlnly have been lost.

The Polish Congregation of St. Albertus'Church, Detroit, celebrated Christmas by a mon-sterdemonstrattou Intbe morning aud a riot Intbe afternoon. Tlie Ciinse was the refusal 0?Bishop Bergen to open the church for service*, aathe congregation claim ho promised to do. Beforedaylight the Poles"begim to assemble about thechurch. The holiday had released the men andwomen from their usual oeenpatlons and theycame In force. The receutly blessed oulmes didnot sonnd at the expected hour. Tbe massivedoors remained closed, and a murmur of sur-prise and discontent spread through the crowd.Bluntly after seven o'clock a consultation washeld by the more prominent members of thecongregation. It was agreed that a delegationshould call upon the Bishop and request him toat least order the church doors to be thrownopen so tbat they mutht hoar their Christmasmass. ' '

Probably one of the bappfest communities onChristmas Day were the 900 workmen employedat the big Cornwall ore mines, near Lebanon,'Pa., and their famllles-^000 people In all. Mil-lionaire Robert II. Coleinan gave each head ot afamily a heavy turkey and also gavo an Invita-tion to every man, woman and child to spend aportion of- Christmas at his palatial home. Mr.;Ooleman resides. In a mamlfloent mansion and Inmany respects It reminds ons of the homes ofthe lordly, barons of tne Old World. A treothirty feet high was trwted In the oentre of thelargemuslehaU Illuminated by iWeleetrie larapa.'Tne two was loaded dowu wltbgWso/aU kindsand'gaily deoorated, while on every side wereheaps of good things, wblcb were given to everypoor family, Including toe onlldren. It wai arartoocaslou. Mr, Ooltman is bountiful In bischanties and during tot ooe hundred'yean In"which tbe On Hills haw' bean In operation astrike has never occurred there. The tree also•onlalned ebagks for various sums of money.

A FREQUENT OCCURENCEIt is very amusing, sometimes, to listen to the experience "told

by some people, when purchasing clothing for themselves or boysat M. M. DavidsonV

An instance happened last "week where a man came in to pur-chase a suit and overcoat. He selected a fine winter suit for glS,and a nice winter oV^rcoat for $12, which amounted to $27. Ashe was aware of the fact that Davidson had but one price foreverybody, he thought he would look elsewhere to do better, andinformed the salesman of his intention. About an hour after, hereturned, and said he would take the suit and overcoat he hadpreviously looked at, remarking at the same time that he hadbeen to three different clothing stores. At the last one he visitedthey offered to sell him a suit and overcoat for $25, and wanted tobet 850 and give him their written guarantee besides, that David-sou could not duplicate it for §80. But this sort of business sodisgusted him, and his examination showed so plainly that thegarments offered him were greatly inferior to those he nad lookedat when here, that he concluded to come right back and take thegoods which, he was now aware, were remarkably cheap at theprices named, and finished by saying that hereafter when hewanted to purchase clothing, he would look no further thanDavidson's, and would tell his neighbors where the best CLOTHINGBARGAIN can be had every time.

THREE CHRISTMAS EVE8.

Etrennes! Etrennes! Etrennes! inUrge letters, placarded everywhere, andadvertised in every imaginable manner,reminding the pleasiue-loving French olthe approaching file, and bringingthoughts of F.ngliiih Christmasse* to En-glish hearts.

The dull little French town near whiohI am now redding look* quite gay withall its bnsy throngs of people aro-vrdingin the streets and shops to buy thepretty wares so temptingly exposed toview. •_

To me the approach of tfifa festivalbrings gloomy and despairing thoughts.The remembrance of Christmaasea longago fills my heart with Borrow, and makesme fear that cruel fate, whioh has ren-dered this anniversary such a dread oneto itye, may have still another blow in•tore for me.

Fifteen years ago I was a young mar-ried woman, twenty-three yean old, andmother of two children.

My girlhood had not been a happyone. I lost my mother whilst I was aninfant, and my father, after having mar-ried again, died when I was only thir-teen.

On my education being completed, myBtepmother, who had never liked mo,declined to allow ma to share the homewhich my father'* money provided furher; and as my sole resources were

- eighty pounds a year, I was obliged tolook oat fora situation as governess.

However, before I had heard of any-thing suitable, I became acquainted witha man much older than myself, captainof a merchantman, who proposed tomarry me, and whom I willingly ao-oepted.

For the first year and a half of ourmarried life my huaband lived on shorn;but at the end of this time sailed againin a new ship, the Medusa.

Twioe had I weloomed him back fromsea, and for the third time, on ChristmasEve, I was expecting him daily, almosthourly, on his return voyage from theMauritius. I was, therefore, in the mostexuberant spirits. All day long I lmdbeen so happy and excited that I jumpedand danoed about my little home like agirl. I felt qnite ashamed of myself atlast, and when I went to dress for dinnerI pot on a block velvet gown, trimmedwith broad white lace, because I thoughtit would make me look matronly. Per-haps I also remembered that it was afavorite of my husband's.

How often had he laughed at me whenhe saw me in this dress, and told me Ilooked like a "child dressed up in itsgrandmother's clothes," but I knew bythe look in his eyes that he was pleasedand satisfied with my appearance.

I certainly did look unfortunatelyyoung. In vain I tried to brash myyellow tawny hair smooth; it was BOthick and curly that I never oould makeit lie straight

My fresh complexion, slightly celestialnose, and happy expression made molook about Beventoan—strangers invaria-bly took my children for my brother and

a»i into wbiob I mu*i ialLIbetieve I should have feinted againrnare gone mad, bat the door opened,

in aame my little children in their night-dresses, and raahing to my arms, theycried out, "Oh, mamma. Oh, papalpapal"

Then my heart g»ve > gnat bound,and I sobbed; another aeoond, and IT U on the floor, in an agony and passionof tears I oould not restrain.

The children were frightened. Thedoctor and servants reappeared. Theformer 'had sent in my ohildren pur-posely, hoping they would arouse mefrom my stupor, whioh he oonsidereddangerous. They took my ohildrenback to bed, and they tried to induce meto rest, bnt all night long I walked upend down the drawing-room, moaning.

Christmas Day broke at hut, and whento joyous morning chimes were heard,they seemed but a mookery to her wheseheart hod bean BO crashed on Christmas

On this Christmas Eve I dined alone,bnt the* children came in to desert, andthen great fan and laughter went on.They did not forget to ask me if Ithought Santa Glaus would bring themthe presents they most wished for, andupon my reassuring them upon thispoint, followed a talk as to what theywould like beet v

I'"What will Santa- Olaoi bring you,mamma t" said my little lad, Paul

"What I should like best would bepapa," I answered, smiling.* JjtXa on, when I stood in Santa Clansplaoe and gazed down on them as theylay in their little bed, they looked liketwo ohembewith their golden and lovelycomplexions.

'What a happy wife and mother I wasat that moment I Every breath I drew,my every mental and physical action,seemed bnt to intensify th#true joy andhappiness at my heart. As I went back to the drawing-room aservant met me with a large yellow envelope in her hand, whioh she gave tome, saying, "Atelegram, ma'am."

I opened it eagerly, thinking thadoubtless it contained the intelligence IbjuLbeon so fondly expecting..

TJ& contents were:—"Medusa foundered coming up Chan-

nel; all hands lost" •I did not faint nor scream, nor cry.

Ten years later found me living in avillage near the town of Langley, wherethere was a good grammar school, towhich I sent my son Paul.

Binoe that sad Christmas Eve on whichrepaired the news of my husband'n

dentli] I hod enjoyed many yearn oficuoe and linppiness with my ohildren.I was poor, I lived in a small cottage,

md kept only a maid-of-all-work. I,nght Theodora myself, but in spite of

idl the disadvantages of poverty, I hadboon very happy—tranquilly happy.

I had ono friend, a woman of groutliterary tttsto, who, regardless of mywant of fortune, sought my society con-itautly. I bad also many friends amongho villagers.

At Christmas-time thi» year we hadold. frosty wenther, snow had fallun,nd still lny on the trees and fields ;

ivhilst the ponds in the neighborhood"were well frozen, and afforded capitalskating.

On Cliristnias Eve we were to have atree for the special benefit of a night-

jhool I had eatubliohed in the village,ivliich consisted of twelve men and boys•1IQ cnmo three times a week to learn, or

improve thomsolves in reading, writing,mil arithmetic.

Paul went uut to skate in the after-noon, while Theodora helped me to givethe finishing touches to the tree, jire-larntory to being litMy boy had never seen a Christmas

tree, and I delighted in the thought ofwhat pleiwiire it would give him; Hewon my favorite, the darling of my

eart. So good, HO obedient althoughhigh-spirited and manly, he never causedme a moment's anxiety. His affectionfor me was most touching. He made meiis companion in his studies and his

amusements. He sang with me thega we both loved, and he would

listen with pleasure to my,, favoritesonatos.

Theodora won so "Jif^ront Tho onlything she ever cared to learn was French,for which she oertoinly showed an ex-traordinary talent; she shared none ofmy other tastes. She was reticent, un-Bympathetie, and perfectly Belf-con-toined, and always conducted herself ina manner which, although oold and for-mal, was so eomme il faut, that no reason-able fault conld be found with her.

I did not know at that time, what Idiscovered afterwards, that Bhe chafedunder the burden of poverty, and enviedthe dress and amusements of young peopie in the neighborhood, who looked onher as out of' the pale of their society onaccount of my poverty.

The tree was ready for lighting, and Iwas dressed. I went to my boy's roomto see what he was doing. To my sur-prise, he was not there. I felt anxious,and went into the garden to see if hewero coming up the road.

It was a still, oold evening, ratherdark. I drew the thin shawl I hadthrown on tighter round me, and stoodlistening-

Some people were ooming. I heardvoices, but I oould distinguish nobody.They came on slowly, and at last I sawthey were carrying something. As theyneared the goto they stopped.

" What is it f" I called out, with m;heart beating wildly. "What is thematter?"

"Go in, ma'am," said the rough kindlyvoioe of a man, who pushed me gentlytowards the house.

"Iwon'tl" I screamed. "Whereismy boy? Give me my boy I"

They pushed me into the house, onebrought in the burden. It was my soi—my beautiful, my own one—stiff ideath, all soaked and saturated withwater.

Ho had skated on a weak part of theioe, and could not be rescued in time tosave his life, though, at a rough-lookingman said to me:

" There's na a man in a' tho parish,mum, but would ha' risked his own liftto save his, door lamb."

Oh, my darling, bnt given me to glad'den a few of the years of my pilgrimagihere, but in thoso yours you were all mysunshine, my joy, and gladness I

I suffered much in the years that fol-lowed this sad bereavement Widowed,any near relations or dear friends, mylife was indeed a lonely one.

The only friend I possessed—the ladyof whom already mention has beenmade—sometimes introduced me to interoeting strangers who came, to visilher. .

Amongst her guests was a Frenchmarquis, a man between forty and flftv,who did not speak English, and whoseemed very delighted to converse withme in his native tougua A most gallant,ooarUy and amiable man he appeared tobe. He often come to see me at mycottage, and roused me from my sadnessby his wit and merriment One's heartseemed to expand under his genialityhis conversation, waa charming, touchingbruthtlr on all imaginable subjects.

hrtm.41 fillIiiitmiiifi uA UtHuMtj/, I. tpv* i/i Hi*him mote than acyo&e I had everknown.

Two days before Christmas Ere hewent book to Franoe, and I felt ao nn-happy that all at once it broke on me that

loved this man. Yes; even at my age,after all the sorrows 1 had undergone,although my youth was past, and myprime nearly so, in my lonnlirtww andsadness I oould not help loving him. Hehad been so amiable, ao attentive, sosympathetic, and I might aayaffeetionate,that I loved him. I felt very, very sad

idtxxl after his departure. l

During the past year my daughter hadlot been living with me. She oom-lained of the dulnees of her home, and

had taken a situation as governesswhioh, however, she quitted at the endf three months. She then went to?aris with a friend, who stall kept her onvhat appeared to me a very long visito, for the first time in my life I was to

spend my Christmas Eve quite alone.I felt very unhappy. I thought Iould spend my evening in bed, but

after finding some relief in tears, 1 madep my mind to try to be brave and toilay at enjoying myself.Dinner was over. I sat with my hands

n my lop, idly thinking. I thought ofmy dead ones, I thought of Theodora,nd of my friend, the Marquis de Ijong-

ville, and wondered whether he wouldulfill his promise of writing to me.

Immersed in these thoughts, I wastartled and surprised by hearing a car-

riage stop at the door. I went into thehall to see who it was.

Theodora, wrapped in shawls andrugs, stopped out uud came up to me.

"My darling," I said; what unex-lected pleasure 1"I was, indeed, delighted to see her.

She did not say much, but came with meinto the drawing-room, and asked to goto bed at once, as she felt ill I fetchedier a glass of wine, and then said,', "Youihall go to my room, as it is quite'oady.

We wont up-stairs together, for Ithought Blie looked too ill ' be able toundress herself.

I had not been long in that room be-ore I (mine out and sent off for my

doctor.After he arrived, and boforo midnight,little child was born. My daughter

had a son. Sho never spoke after it wasborn, only I heard a low murmur inFrenoh, too faint to be distinguishable.By six o'clock on Christmas morningshe was dead t

She had lett me a paper, folded andsealed, which I opened after her death.It contained those words:—

The father of my child is Roger deLongville. When he comes to claim hisshild let him have i t"

Roger de Longville t the Marquis deLongville I the men who had so latelywon my own heart, the betrayer of mydntightar, and the source to me of ever-lasting shame and disgrace I Oh, hor-ror I oh, misery I what torture I en-dured I

I called to mind the two other Christ-mas Eves when I lost all that was mostdear to me. Then I had cried, fainted,moaned ; now my wretchedness was toodeep for sobs or moons to alleviate, onlyI was filled with a rage and hatred whiohhalf stifled it Disgrace, sorrow, child-lessness, and worst of all, the remem-brance of the love I had felt for mydaughter's destroyer, all crowded uponme, and I realized that the relentlessNemesis whioh pursued me had consum-mated its cruelty to me on this thirdnever-to-be-forgotten Christmas Eve.

"I/ENVOVMy dear wife—ma bonne «( there emit—

has written these sad stories.Yes, I let her do it, although I did not

quite approve; but then I counselledher, "My dear, finish the sad stories,"bjjt Bhe would not so I said, " Well,then, I will write the cheerful tenwi.Tour life is like a fairy tale, and tlia baafairy, having done her worst you arenow going to live "happy ever after."

Mention has been made of the Marquisde Longville, I am that happy man.

I went to pay a visit to a lady I knewin that trittt England, in order that Imight find out what kind of person wasa Miss Leslie, who, I had been informed,had contracted an illegal marriage withmy son in London.

I waa not disposed to give my oonsento the ratification of this marriage inFrance, without knowing something othe Indy's family. Chance favored me.In the same village where I went to secmy friend, Mrs. Leslie resided, andwas presented to her.

What was my surprise to find one othe most charming women I had overmet in the whole course of my Ufa

No longer young, she was still lovely,besides being spiritiuBe, accomplisheand talented; as clever as the Goddessof Wisdom, and as attractive as the Goddess of Love.

HOT French was of the purest and heraccent soft and liquid.

I was instantly tptii—delighted withher. My Frenchman's heart at forty-fivboat as at twenty-five. In foot beforeknew what was happening to me, I wasdeeply in love with my beautiful widowand with mo to love was to poBsees.

I found out that Mrs. Leslie's daughtoilmd never mentioned mine or my son'name to her mother, so I was able tofairs da nUenna.

I made hot love to my fair widow. Shewas at first shy and surprised, but shesoon got to like a Frenchman's niceways. I made her quite gay at hut; shbegan to look like a girL She hadwonderfully young face, and her laughwould ring out so sweet and clear that itwas delicious toisee'and hear her.

The boat thing in nature is ft beautifulwoman—beautiful in mind and body, inmanners, uplrit, expression and figureand my dear Mrs. Leslie was all this, anmore, for I knew she was beginning tolovome •' " '

conviction in ray heart (feat I was be-loved. I meant to arrange about thedouble marriage of myself and my aon.

On reaching my hotel in Pans, howsurprised was I to find my son in a statebordering on frenay.

His wife had left Paris without a wordof farewell or of explanation He thoughtshe might have gone to her mother, bnthe did not feel sore of i t

"Let as go at once, my son," I said.I know her mother."The journey wan made quiokly. We

arrived on Christmas Day.The door of Mr*. Leslie's ootUge was

•pen, so we entered without oaremony,and went through the rooms, searchingor those we loved. The blinds were all

drawn down, and a great sflanoe pre-vailed.

I thought I heard a feeble cry, andopening the door of a room from whioht proceeded, I saw, seated on a low

chair, ma mignonnt, looking so changed,with a bundle on her lap.

At my entranoe aha rose np, andcoming straight to me, with th» bundlein her arms whioh she sfeetohed towardsme, said, in a voioe from whioh all joyand emotion had gone, "Here is yourchild I"

"What is that!" I cried, drawingback from the bundle, and gazing at herfeatures, whioh looked petrified, so icyand frozen they appeared.

"Here is your child, and there tlulies I" she repeated, in the same impassi-ble manner, pointing with her finger tothe open door whioh she then movedtowards.

I comprehended now, and followedher.

We went into a darkened room, andthere, by the side of a bed on whioh laya young girl beautiful in death, kneltmy son, sobbing.

"There," said I, softly pointing athim, "is my son, the fathf of tiischild!"

I think for a moment she felt stunned,but she managed to go and lay the childon the bed by the side of its motherbefore its father's face. Then she camebaok to me, and with a gesture which Iknew meant to ask pardon for the wrongshe had imputed to me, she sank downat my feet exhausted.

I lifted her up, I put my arms roundher, and drew her from the room.

"Mabel I" I whispered—it was thefirst time I had ever called her by hername. I do not know what she felt butto me it was one of the most deliciousmoments of my life.

Before the anniversary of that eaddaywhen my darling had snffered'Bo much,I took her away from that tritte Eng-land,

She became depressed at the approachof the second Christmas after our mar-riago.

I said to her, "Write the story of yourife which weighs so heavily ou your

heart It may prove a relief to you, andI will try to make up to you for all yourpast sorrows on Christmas Day."

My words have proved true.It is Christmas Eve, and I have jnst

come from my wife's bedroom, wherethere is a little new-born son in herarms, and there are tears of joy in her

a And in spite of the new treasure(.lie still wants her old[Frenchman, wlmis rather proud of being papa again, Imust Hay good-byo, dear readers, andnish you, in your way, a Merry CliriHt-IUUS and a Happy Now Year.
