A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
Lord, for the lonely heart
I pray apart.
Now. fur t be son of sorrow
Whom this tomorrow .
Rejoiceth not. O lord.
Bear my weak word.
For live too bitter to be borne.
For the tempted and the lorn.
For the prisoner in the cell.
For the shame lip doth not tell.
For the haeg&rd enicide.
Peace, peace, this Christmas tide!
Into the desert, trod
By the lone si,--:. O Cod;
Into the patient ;;luom
Of that small room
Where lie the child of pain
Of all neglected most be faia
To enter, healing, and remain.
Now. at the fall of day,
I bow and pray.
For those who cannot sleep
A watch I keep.
Oh, let the starving brain
he fed, and fed attain;
At thy behest
The tortured nerve find re-it.
I see the vacant chair.
Father of souls, prepare
My poor thought's feeble power
To plead this hour:
For the empty, aching home
Where the silent footsteps come.
Where the unseen face looks on,
Where the handclasp is not felt, '
Where the dearest eyes are gone.
Where the portrait on the wall
Stirs and struggles as to speak.
Where the light breath from the hall
Calls the color to the check.
Where the voice breaks in the hymn
When the sunset burncth dim.
Where the late large tear will start.
Frozen by the broken heart.
Where the lesson is to loam
How to live, to grieve, to yearn.
How to bear and how to bow.
Oh, the Christmas that is fled!
Lord of living and of di.axl.
Comfort thou!

WATCHING FOE ST. NICK.
Christmas eve, after the children had
hung up their stockings and got all ready
for St. Kick, they climbed upon, papa's lap
to kiss him good night, and when they
both f!0t their arms nrouud his neck they
said they were not going to bed till he told
them a ChriHt-mas story. Then he saw
that ho would have to mind, for they wero
awfully severe with him, and always made
him do exactly what they told him; it was
the way they had brought him up. llo
tried his best to get out of it for awhile,
but nfter they had shaken him, first thio
side aud then that side, and pulled him
backward and forward till he did not know
where he was, ho began to think perhapj
he had better begin.
The first thing he said after he opened
his eyes and made believe he had been
asleep or something was, "Well, what did
I leave off at?" and that made tlicm just
perfectly boiling, for they understood hi3
tricks and thev knew he was trying to
pretend that he had told part of the story
already, and they said he had not left off
anywhere, because he had not commenced,
and he saw it was no use. So he com
menced: "Once there was a little Tony Engino
that used to play around the Fitchburg
depot, on the siilo tracks, and sleep iu
among the big locomotives iu the car
house" The little girl lifted her head from her
papa's shoulder, where she had dropped it.
"Is it a sad story, papa?"
"How is it going to end?" asked the boy.
"Well, it's got a moral," said the papa.
"Oh, all right if it's got a moral," said
the children. They had a good deal of fun
with the morals the papa put to his stories.
The boy added, "Go on," and the little girl
prompted, "Car house."
The papa said, "Now every time you stop
me I shall have to begin over again." But
he soon saw that this was not going to
spite them any, so he went on: "One of the
locomotives was its mother, and she had
got hurt once in a big smash up, so that
she couldn't run long trips any more. She
was so weak in the cheat you could heat
her wheeze as far as you could see her.
But she could work around the depot and
pull empty cars in and out and shunt
them off on the side tracks, and she was so
anxious to bo useful that all the other en
gines respected her, and they were very
kind to t he little l'ony Engine on her ac
count, though it was always getting in the
way and under their wheels and every
thing. They all knew it was an orphan,
for before its mother got hurt its father
weut through a bridge one dark night
Into an arm of the sea and was never
heard of again, lie was supposed to have
been drowned.
"The old mother locomotive used to say
that it would never have happened if she
had been there; but poor, dear No. 230 w;
always so venturesome, and she had
warned him against that very bridge time
Rtid again. Then she would whistle so
dolefully, and sigh with her airbrakes
enough to make anybody cry. You see,
they used to be a very happy family when
they were all together, before the papa
locomotive got drowned. He was very
fond of the little Pony Engine, and told it
stories at night after they got into the car
house at the end of some of his long runs.
It would get up on his cowcatcher and lean
Its chimney up against his and listen till it
fell asleep. Then he would put it softly
down and be off again in the morning be
fore it was awake. I tell you, those were
happy days for poor No. 236. The little
Pony "Engine could just remember him; it
was awfully proud ot its papa."
The boy lifted his head and looked at the
little girl, who suddenly hid her face in
the papa's other shoulder. "Well, I de
clare, papa, she was putting up her. lip."
"I wasn't any such thingl" said the little
(jirl. "And I don't care! Sol" and then
she sobbed.
"Now, never you mind," said the papa
to the boy. "You'll be putting up your
lip before I'm through. Well, aud then
she used to caution the little Pony Engino
against gettiug in the way of the big loco
motives, and told it to keep close around
after her and try to do all it could to learn
about shifting empty cars. You see, she
knew how ambitious t he little Pony Engine
was, and how it wasn't contented a bit just
to grow up in the pony engine business
and le tied down to the depot all its days.
Once she happened to tell it that if it was
good and always did what it was bid per
haps a cowcatcher would grow on it some
day, and then it could be a passenger loco
motive. Mammas have to promise all sorts
of things, and she was almost distracted
when she said that."
"I don't think she ought to have deceived
tt, papa," said the boy. "But it ought to
have known that if it was a Pony Engine
to legin with it uever could have a cow
catcher." "Couldn't it?" asked the girl gently.
"No; thjy'rc kind of mooley."
The little girl asked the papa, "What
makes Pony Engines mooley?" for she did
not choose to lie told by her brother; he
was only two years older than she was
anyway.
"Well, it's pretty hard to say. You see,
when a locomotive is first hatched"
"Oh, are they hatched, papa?" asked the
bov.
"Well, we'll call it hatched," said the
papa; but they knew he was just funning.
"They're about the size of teakettles at
first and it's a chance whether they will
have cowcatchers or not. If they keep
their spouts they will, and if their spouts
drop off they won't."
"What makes the spout ever drop off?"
"Oh. sometimes the pin, or the gapes''
The children both began to shake the
papa, and be waa glad enough to goon
sensibly.
Well, anyway, the mother locomotive
certainly oughtn't to have deceived it.
Still she bid to say something, and per
haps the little Pony Engine van better em
ployed watching it buffers with its head
light to see whether its cowcatcher bad
begun to grow than it wonld have been in
listening to the stories of the old locomo
tives and sometimes to their swearing."
Do they swear, papa?" asked the little
girl, somewhat shocked and yet pleased.
Well, I never beard them near Dy. isut
it sounds a good deal like swearing when
you hear them on the up grade on our bill
in the night. Where was I?"
"Swearing," said the boy. "And please
ion't go hack now, papa."
Well, I won't. It 11 he as much as I
can do to get through this story without
going over any of it again. Well, the
thing that the little Pony Eugine wanted
to be the most in this world was the loco
motive of the Pacific Express, that starts
out every afternoon at 3, you know. It In
tended to apply for the place as soon as the
cowcatcher was grown, and it was always
trying to attract the locomotive's atten
tion, backing and filling on the track
alongside of the train, and once it raced it
a little piece and beat it, before the Express
locomotive was under way, and almost got
in f rout of it on a switch. My, but its
mother was scared! She just yelled to it
with her whistle, and that night she sent
it to sleep without a particle of coal or wa
ter in its tender.
"But the little Pony Engine didn't care.
It had beaten the Pacific Express in 100
yards, and what was to hinder it from
beating it as long as it chose? The little
Pony Engine could not get it out of I'a
head. It was just like a boy who thinks he
can whip a man."
The boy lifted his head. "Well, a lioy
can, papa, if he goes to do it the right way.
Just stoop down before the man knows ii
and catch him by the legs and tip him
right over."
"Ho! I guess you see your.-elf," said tho
little girl scornfully.
"Well, I could," said the buy; "and soniu
day I'll just show ypu."
"Now, little cock sparrow, now!" s;'.id
the papa, and he laughed. "Well, the lit
tie Pony Engine thought he could In-at. liiy
Pacific Express, any way, aud so one dark,
snowy, blowy afternoon, when his niot-liei
was off pushing soma empty coal cars up
past the kuownothiiig crossing beyond
Charlosto.vn, he got on the track in front
of the Express and when he heard the con
ductor say, 'All nboard!' aud the stanin-.-gong
struck, und the brakcim::) leanAl out
aud waved to the engineer, ho darted off
like lightning. He had his steam up and
bo just-cuttled.
"Well, he was so excited for awhilo that
bo couldn't tell whether the Express was
gaining on him or not, but after twenty or
thirty miles ho thought he heard it pretty
near. Of course the Express locomotive
was drawing a heavy train of cars and it
had to make a stop or two at Charles
town, and at Concord Junction, and at
Ayer so the Pony Engine did really gain
on it a little, aud when it began to be scar
ed it gained a good deal. But tho first
place where it began to feel sorry und to
want its mother was in Hoosao tunnel. It
never was in a tunnel before, and it seemed
as if it would never get out. It kept think
ing what if the Pacific Express was to run
over it there in the dark, aud its mother off
there in the Fitchburg depot in Boston,
looking for it nmong the side tracks? It
gave a perfect shriek, and just then it shot
DUtof the tunnel. There were a lot of
locomotives loafing around there at North
Adams, and one of them shouted out to it
as it flew by, 'What's your hurry, littlo
one?' aud it just, screamed back, 'Pacifio
Express,' and never stopped to explain,
l'hey talked iu locomotive language"
"Oh, what did it souud like?" the boy
asked.
'Well, pretty queer. I'll tell you some
aay. It knew it had no time to fool away,
auil all t hrough the long, dark night when
Bver a locomotive hailed it it just screamed
'Pacific Express,' and kept on. And the
Express kept gaining on it. Some of tho
locomotives wanted to stop it, but they
decided they had better not get iu its way;
ind so it whizzed along across New York,
state and Ohio and Indiana till it got to
Chicago. And the Express kept gaining on
it. By that time it was so hoarse it could
hardly whisper, but it kept saying 'Pacific
Express! Pacific Express!' and it kept right
m till it reached the Mississippi river,
l'here it found a long train of freight cars
before it on the bridge. It couldn't wait,
md so it sli pied down from the track to the
;dge of the river aud jumped across, and
then scrambled up the embankment to the
track again."
"Papa!" said the little girl warningly.
"Truly it did," said the papa.
"Ho! that's nothing," said the boy. "A
whole train of cars did it in that Jules
Verne book."
"Well," the papa went on, "after that it
had a little rest, for the Express had to wait
for the freight train to get off the bridge,
ind the Pony Engine stopped at the first
station for a drink of water and a mouth
ful of coal, and then it flew ahead. There
was a kind old locomotive at Omaha that
tried to find out where it belonged, and
what its mother's name was, but the Pony
Engine was so be wildered that it couldn't
tell. Aud the Express kept gainiug on it.
Dn the plains it was chased by a pack of
prairie wolves, but it left them far behind,
ind the antelopes were scared half to
leath. But the worst of it was when the
nightmare got after it."
"The nightmare? Goodness!" said the
boy.
"I've had the nightmare," said the girl.
"Oh, yes, a mere human nightmare,"
said the papa. "But a locomotive night
mare is a very different t hing.
"Why, what's it like?" asked the boy.
The little girl was almost afraid to ask,
"Well, it has only one leg, to begin with."
"Pshaw!"
"Wheel, I mean. And it has four cow
satchers and four headlights and two boil
srs and eight whistles, and it just goes
whirling and screeching along. Of course,
;t wabbles awfully, and as it's only got one
wheel it has to keep skipping from one
track to the other."
"I should think it would runon the cross
ties," said the boy.
"Oh, very well, then," said the papa, "if
you fciow so much iiiov about it than 1
do. Who's telling this story, anyway?
Now I shall have to go back to the begin
ning. Once there wasalittle Pony En"
T'iiev both nut their hands over his
mouth and fairly begged him to go on, and
at last he did. "Well, it got away from
the nightmare about morning, but not till
the nightmare had bitten a large piece out
of its tender, and then it braced up for the
homestretch. It thought that if it could
once beat the Express to the Sierras it
could keep the start the rest of the way,
for it could get over t he mountains quick
er than the Express could, and it might be
in San Francisco before the Express got to
Sacramento. The Express kept gaining on
it. But just zipped along the upper edge of
Kansas and the lower edge of Nebraska and
on through Colorado anil Utah and Nevada,
and when it got to the Sierras it just
Dtopped a little and went over them like a
goat it did, truly; just doubled up its
fore Wheels under it and jumped. And the
Express kept gaining on it.
"Bv this time it couldn't say 'Pacific Ex
press' any more, and it didn't try. It just
said 'Express! Express!' and then "Press!
'Press!' and then ' 'Ess! 'Ess!' and pretty
soon only ' 'Ss! 'Ss!' And the Express kept
gaining on it. Before they reached Saa
Fraucisco the Express locomotives cow
catcher was almost touching the l'ony En
gine's tender. It gave one howl of anguish
as it felt the Express locomotive's hot
breath on the place where the nightmare
had bitten the piece out, aud tore through
the end of the" San Francisco depot and
plunged into the Pacific ocean and was
never seen again. There, now," aud tbs
papa, trying to make the children gt-t
down; "that's all tio to bed." The little
girl waa crying, and so be tried to comfort
ber by keeping ber iu bis lap.
The buy cleared bis throat. "What is
the moral, papa?" be asked, huskily.
"Children, obey your parent," said the
papa.
"And what became of the mother loco
motive?" pursued the boy.
"She had a braiu fever, and never quite
recovered the use of ber mind again."
The boy thought awhile. "Well, I don't
see what it had to do with Christmas, any
way." "Why it was Christmas eve when the
Pony Engine started from Boston and
Christmas afternoon when it reached San
Francisco."
"Ho!" said the boy. "Xo locomotive
could get across the coutiuent in a day and
aud a night, let alone a little Pony En
gine." "But this Pony Engine bad to. Did yon
never bear of the beaver that clomb the
tree?"
"No! Tell"
"Yes, some other time."
"But how could it get across so quick?
Just one day!"
"Well, perhaps it was a year. May be it
was the next Christmas after that when it
got to San Francisco."
The papa set the littlo stir! down and
started to run out of the room, and both
of the children started after him, to pound
him.
When they were in bed the boy called
down stairs to the papa, "Well, anyway, I

"Say, ma," said Tommy, "aren't we go
ing to have a Christmas tree this year?"
"No, Tommy," answered his mother, "I
haven't time to attend to it this year, and
your father is so busy that he will uot have
time to fix it up either."
Tommy was silent for some time, then
he went over and sat on a footstool beside
his mother, who was doing some fancy
needlework.
"Say, ma," said Tommy meekly, after a
long pause. Seeing that her sou was not
inclined to finish the sentence she said
kindly:
"Well, Tommy?"
He rested his cllww on her lap and lean
ing his head on his hand he watched her
fingers working dexterously for a few sec

"Say, ma, you told mo I uius'n't fight,

"I certainly did, Tommy."

Thrilling; Raonloa of Father and Child
tbs Eve of the Coming Holiday.
Every one who knew "Little Texas"
agreed that sh was the moat amiable and
altogether the sweetest and most lovable
child to be found auy where.
A pretty child, too, was "Little Texas,"
with her wealth of golden curls, blue eyes
aud sunny features.
She was a child of the people.
No one ever seemed to know who her
parents were, nor what was her real name,
nor bow or where she lived. That she was
poor was evident, as she earned daily a pit
tance by selling flowers, mostly to the
occupants of oneot the large office build
ings on lower Broadway.
She bad a smile and a good word for
everybody, but was very reticent as to her
antecedents. Belle, she said, was her
name, and she lived, so she stated, with au
aunt somewhere under the big bridge.
But whether it was Belle Smith or Bella
Jones the child would never say.
"My aunt does not wish me to tell my
name," she would antvrer wheu ques
tioned on the subject.
Little Belle thenshe was only ten years
old visited the various offices in the bltf
Broadway building each morning, and tho
kiud hearted men bought her little bunches
of violets and roses, often paying many
times what they were worth, for little
Belle had such a sweet smile of thanks for
those who purchased her wares.
From day to day the child sold her flow
ers, and, although uaiiy questioueu, sua
would never reveal her full name nor say
where she lived It was finally aecepted
as a matter of course. Little Belle was a
mystery.
In one of the large ofilces of the great
building one morning last week a mlddlo
aged man, with a full brown beard and
slouch hat, careless- nnd easy in his man
ners, but well dressed withal, sat discuss-
r general topics with a party of gentle
men there assembled.
"Yes," sa:d the stranger, "Christmas
comes but once a year, as you say, but that
just once too ftften lor me." At this
there was a general exclamation of sur
prise on the part of his auditors. The
Stranger continueu:
"It is a sad story and one that had its
beginning on Christmas day six years ago.
I had one of the prettiest homes down iu
Texas then yon ever Bavv, My wife, she'3
dead now," he said with a sigh, "and the
swee'?st child, a little girl with golden
brown hair and blue eyes. Little Bells
was her name.
Wo had such a happy home too. And
that Christmas day. Ah, how well I re
member it now. The child had a nurse
whom sho used to call Auntio. Somehow
I never trusted that woman much. Well,
there's no use in going into particulars.
Little Belle and her nurse went out for a
walk on that Christmas morning. Neither
the woman nor tho child has been seen
since. JUy poor wire aieu it urouo uer
heart. And I, well I"
Want any flowers today, sirs?" came
from the voice of a little child who had just
entered the office.
"My God! AVhose child is that? What's
your name, girlr Who are you?" came
from the Texan iu excited tones.
Little Belle, the flower girl, for it was
she, stood irresolute for a moment, eying
the stranger suspiciously. Suddenly her
basket, dropped and the light of recogni
tion shone iu her eyes. "Why, you're my
papa," she said simply.
Tears streamed down the lexan's face as
he clasped the child in his arms.
"ThauKGodl" said he, "I have found her
at last, and so near Christmas too. This
is indeed a Christmas blessiugl"
Father and daughter left the office to
gether. It was afterward learned that
Belle's supposed aunt was the nurse who
had kidnaped her and brought her to this
city six years since. The men about the
big building heard of it, and as little Bella
had goue to her Texan home the day fol
lowing a purse was made up among them,
and one of their number with it purchased
a handsome silver cup, which is now on its
way south.
"Little Texas, from many friends. Merry
Christmas!" was the inscription on the
cup. New York Herald.

The Caucasian: When tha farmers
and other wealth-producers began to
complain of tho low nnd falling prices
of the products or their labor and to
suspect that it wa9 due to a contracted
currency, tho money pnwer through
its subsidized papers began, and has
since been repeating', tho statement
that tho law of supply and domand
alone controlled prices. The time was
whon the farmer would swallow this,
but now ho is thinking for htmsolf
and knows that tho law of supply and
demand regulates prices only when
the volume of money in circulation U
controlled by tho same law.
