THE TWO 811) JJS OP A CHRISTMAS STONY. TUB IlltlOIIT 811) K. Mrs. Hills' lost words to hor stater, at tho door, woro; 'Whatovor you buy for Hurry and Louise- this Christmas, don't lot it bo anything that will make a nolso, a moss or a littor, or that will cut, oarvo, mark or indont." There woro enough dolls to supply an orphan asylum, and fumituro with out ond. As to Master Harry, ho had tools, paints, a drum, gun, voloolpodo and a wagon. Hooks woro out ot tho question, as tlioy could not road, and pictures woro a sourco of novcr-onding contention, because thoro must bo a history to oach. Woo unto him who changed tho slightest detail! H Miss Araboll was introduced as a "strawborry bloudo," so she must remain; and Algernon Sidney mustnoithorchango ins costume nor complexion. Ouo would fool liattorod, by thoir close .attention, into believing thorn really interested, but would soon lind thoy woro only watching for a slight error in statement, and bo bidden to wait till you can tell mo what you know." Christmas was a movable feast11 to those young onos with rich, Indulgent parents, and a host of uncles and aunts. JJoth woro beautiful children to look at, but whothor they improved upon ac quaintance doooudod on many tilings. Little Mrs. White, thoir aunt, had started on a voyage of discovery for something nico that thoy did not havo already, or that would noithor mako a noise, a moss or a littor. It is easy to imagine with what success. Tho wholo raco of toy-makors sinco Adam havo puzzled thoir brains to in vent toys to please children, and havo never givon a thought to tho big folks who pay tho bills. Poor lady! sho roturnod homo, hav ing exhausted hor timo and tho pntionco of many clerks, with Harry and Louiso still unprovidod for, and this Christmas Evo! Thoro woro so many things to put tho llulshlng touches to for to-morrow, that Mr. whito, when ho camo homo from business promised to go out and try his luck. Just as tho clock struck ton, and Mrs. W. wasgotting worried as to what could kcop him, Mr. Whito roturnod, looking happy, but ompty-haudod. Ho would ?;ivo no explanation, howover, until ho lad put on his gown and slippers, ami sat down witli his foot on tho fender. Then ho,told how oithor tho now things had all boon plokod out, or that tills yoar thoro had boon nothing now; that whilo looking in a shop-window, in tho bono of hooing something that would striko tho lanoy of thoso vory-hard-to-suit young folks, his attontion had been attracted by two half-clad, bright little girls, discussing the boautv of two dolls that thoy "had ohoosod" when thoy woro tirst put in tho windy!'1 Tho old ost suggested that "if father was alive, mavbo ho might havo bought thorn for us." Mr. Whito contrasted, in bin mind. tho two children for whoso pleasuro ho had started out with thoso poor chil dren -Harry and Louiso unablo to ap preciate half they had, from having too much, and thoso littlo onos salistiod -with just tho sight of what othors woro to enjoy. Ho mado up his mind to havo a littlo fun with tho children, so ho promised to go in and buy thoso vory dolls, if thoy would watch and soo that ho got the right onos. It was too funny to soo thoir look of dismay, as ho touched tirst one doll and then another. Thoy must have thought him tho dumbest man born. Tho littlo one was making her way through tho window, so ho had boon forcod to hit upon tho right onos. Tho dolls only camo to three dollars, so ho wrappod up a bright gold dollar and pinned to each, as an additional surprise; and whon iio took thorn out, suro onougu tho littlo onos woro wait ing. Jfr. Whito wished his wlfo could havo Ecen tho look of speoehloss wondor on the faces of those ohildron, as ho puttho bundles in their hands. Thoy novor stopped for any explanation, but rushed down the streot, ovldontly afraid it was not true. Mm. YhIlo agreed that "this was all vory nice, but how about Harry and Louise? It won't do to forgot them." Mr. W. settled that by suirtrosting: " Tho v could tako tho children to soo tho 'New Cindorolla, and, whilo thoy had thorn out, to lot them buy thoirown presents." A And thoy both wondered why thoy had not thought of that before. THE OTIIKIt SI OK. Mrs. MaeGlnnis sat by her scant firo, that blessed Christmas Evo, thinking of tho woary yoar that had almost passed. Hor husband Tim, tiio boy Jimmy besides her husband's fathor and moth er had sickened and died of typhus, rshlp-fovor, as sho proforrodto call it. Tho room had lookod so dosoluto that sho hadn't tho hoart to refuso Magglo and Katlo tho comfort of tho shop windows and all tho brlghtnoss of out-doors. Thoy would not bo long gone, and no further than tho big toy storojust around tho corner, on Grand streot. All the aftornoon thoy had talked of what thoy wished Santa Clans would bring them, until mother told them: "That Santa Claus was much llko oth er pooplo; ho was moro likely to glvo to thorn that had enough than to them that had nothing; but that they might go and soo what ho would take to oth er children that woro no hotter than thoy." Whon ton struck, Mrs. Mac boirau to wondor If sho hadn't bcttorgo and hunt tho children up. Whilo deciding tho quostion, she hoard the front door slam, and the scamper of hor little ones as thoy raced up tho long nights of bare stairs. Thoy camo in such haste, that, fear ingsomo ouo was in pursuit, she took the light to the lauding. The children noithor heeded tho light nor tho cau tion: "Do bo aisy, childor, and don't elattor tho house down!" but, with hair Hying and little tags of shawls hold by an ond in tho moutli, they rushed into tho dark room, disappointed that mothor was not thoro to receive them. Mrs. Mao followed as fast as tho safety of the light would pormit. Once, in, sho behold hor liltlo onos busily engaged in untying two largo bundles. Sho concluded that thoy had found some unfortunate's lost packages; but boinjr a mothor, sho foared tho worst. so bIio iorbadu thorn to "spake wan word till thoy told hor how thoy camo by thorn, for it would break hor .hoart ontiroly if sho thought thoy didn't come by them honest!" Each tried to talk tho othor down, but Maggie tho oldost by two years held the tloor. Katlo resolved horsolf into a "com mittee on amendment," and stood readv to indorse or modify. This was Maggie's statement of how they happened to bo in possession of two ologant "lady-dolls:" "Mother, wo ran tothostoro as you said wo might just to soo if our dolls was took. Suro enough, thoy wasn't! and whilo wo wastalkin' mo and Kat tio a gentleman that wo hadn't no ticod says to mo, says ho: 'If tho dolls aro yours, why don't you go in and get thomP' Wo was ashamed for talkhrso anv or.o could hoar us, but 1 soz, sos I: We just ciioosed thorn whon thoy was put in tho windoy.1 Ho kinder laugnod, quiot-liko, and so, ho: I just think of two littlo girls that would like thoso vory dolls. You watch mo whon 1 go in for thenl, and soo that I don't mako a mistako;1 and suro mothor, it was well for him wo did, for, though thoy was tho biggest and tho puttlost In tho wiu- iloy, ho put ins luvnu or pointed to ov ory blessed doll lu that windoy, and ho didn't scorn to seo thoso big dolls at all. Why, Kattio not that crazy with his blundering that sho most broko tho windoy. "At last ho got tho right onos; tho lady took thorn down nudinlo tho back of "tho store, to wrap thorn up. Wo waitod to soo him oomo out with them just, whon, boforo wo knowed, ho shoved a bundle at each of us, and sez ho: 'Merry Christmas, and God bless you!' and wo novor stoppod for nothin'. Oh, ain't thoy lovoly, mothorP and aro you suro wo ain't all dreamin'P" Kattio had not been idlo whilo this was going on, but had mado a close inspection of her doll, from head-dress to boot-heels. She found a littlo pack ago securely pinned to tho undor clothos, which she took to mother to unwrap; when behold, a bright gold dollar was discovered! Magglo was wild with oxcitomont again," but sho overlooked tho littlo wau ot paper a (loron times, ami no ono knows whon sho would havo found it if tho pin had not pricked her linger. Both children at onco decided that tho dollars must bo intended for mother's Christmas, but why did sho cry. Sho lookod to them llko tho plcturo of somo saint, as sho droppod on hor knoos and prayed God to bless him and his whoovor ho might bothat had givon oven thorn a chanco for n merry Christmas. Golden Days. An interesting plan of Vrcnok colonization, proposed by Prof. Iionuhcr, of St. Paul, has just received tlioboartv indorsement of tho Minnesota Legisla ture. It contemplates the sottloment of a largo community of French farmers upon lands owned by a company which is to advanco tho colonists monoy for thoir housos, tools, animals, etc., and fdvos thorn longer timo and a modorato ntorost rate on tho loan and on tho purchase prico of tho ground. Tho col onists aro to snttlo lu villages and on gago ohiolly in tho culture of Uax, homp and tho sugar-beet. It is hoped that their oxamplo in diversifying tho agriculture of tho Stato will bo oxtons Ivoly followod, to tho advancement of tho gonoral prospority of tho pooplo. Goneral II. II.

Wild, of Lcacham, Vt, roplying to a charge of pulpit plagiary ism, said it had long been his habit, as of othor pastors, to nave clippings from newspapers constantly on hand for free use, mm ho didn't propose to abandon it. It is a fact worthy of credit that tho Unitod States 1ms as many iust tu tlons for tho instruction of the blind as either Germany or England, and has moro educational institutions for the deaf and dumb than any other country except Germany. Rov. O. P. Clinton, sevonty-thrco years old, has traveled as missionary In Wisconsin, lu saddle and buggy, over 70,000 miles, preached over ii.OOO sormons and olllciated at .'100 funerals. Recently ho rode sixteon miles in tho saddle over terrible roads on Saturday to otlieiato at a funeral, preached twice tho next day and rode twelve, miles, and reached homo Monday noon, mak ing twenty-five miles, as good as now. The will of Francis P. Shoals, lato President of the lirbadway Savings Hank, Now York, which was lllod for probate a fow days since, gives $280, 000 for charitable uses, including $50, 000 oacii to tho Home and Foroigu Mis sions of tho Presbyterian Church, $25,000 oach to tbo American Biblo Sp eiety, American Tract Society arid American Homo Missions, $10,000 each to tho PresbUerian Association for tho relief of Disabled Ministers and Fami lies, tho Presbyterian Home for Agod Women, tho Roard of Education of "the Prosbytorian Church, tho Now York Prosbytorian Hospital, tho Prosbytory of Now York for tho extension of their (diurch, tho Board of Homo Missions of tho Presbyterian Church, and tho Amoriean Seumou's Friend Socioty, and $5,000 to tho Hampton (Va.) Normal Institute. Bishop Whipple, who recently vis ited tho Indian Mission at White Earth, says that In taking tho offerings every man, woman and child came up and deposited the gift in the alms basin. Ho wants to know whether, if wo had this custom, rich men would bring dimes and (juartors. Bishop Whipple also visited Rod Lake, where tlicro is a ' flourishing Indian church, while throe years njjo thoro was not a single mem ber, live miles farther up tho lake moro than half the Indians aro Chris tians, where hardly tlireo years ago thoro was not a baptized person in tho place. Tho Indian chief, who is an ex emplary Christian and one of tho no blest speeimons of ids raeo, has had much to do in bringing about this won derful change. Tho journey into the Indian country, whicii lasted between two and three weeks, was concluded by a ride of seventy miles in a lumber wagon. Mr. Kimball, the great church dobt extinguisher, says that thoro aro three standing calamities oi churches. Tho tirst is a fuiul .for tho support of tho preaching, so that tho peojilo who go to church need not pay. Tho soo ond is tho presence of ono or two rich men, on whom everybody loans, and Whoso property tho church fools at lib erty to appropriate Tho third is a debt, whether of tho mortgaged or "floating" sort. Comparatively fow churches aro endowed with such a funt as Mr. Kimball mentions. Whon thoro is such an endowment, its operation is almost uniformly as ho states. In a certain church, whoso end nvinont is so great that tho highest pew-rent was only four dollars a year, tho members bocamo so spiritually hiy that thoy had eitlior to go to sloop'or toquarrol. Rich mon aro more plenty than endowments, and aro bonanzas to churchod which properly use thorn and toacli thorn how to give. For every church whicii has either rich men or endowment, there aro twenty poor onos which havo noth ing but a debt. Kimball thinks all tho churches ought t do business on a "C. O. D." basis, and thou thoro would bo no church debts. Fearful Talo f Imt'ipl'elephoiio Told. Two mighty hunters of Clifton. After a fruitless search for game in tho neigh borhood of St. Mary's, between Toledo and Dayton, during which thoy lost a valuable dog, thoy started home. From Dayton thoy telegraphed to tho resi dence of one of thorn to havo tho family carriago sent to Cumniinsvilio to meet thoir train. Tho messago was delivered so lato that tho family contented them selves with telephoning to tho livery and undertaking establishment in Ctim mlnsvillo: "Moot Mr. M. and party at lepot to-night." Express No. .5 was lato that run, and it was near midnight of Friday last whon, in tho drenching rain, tho nimrodsalightodat tho station and lookod around for tho expected ve hicle. A man in a rubber coat and cap and with whip in li ind, approached and said: "Whoro is it?"

"Why, tho body, of courso," said tho strangor; and tho mistako bocamo apparent. Tho hunters woro angry. The undertaker's men were angry, also, and refused point blank to go to tho stablo for another conveyance, saying inoy uau ooen waiting for hours undor a messago from tho telephone station, which road: "Moot Mr. M. and body at Dayton oxpress to-night."
