HOW I Woif MY WIF2.
Jessie Haie was tlie'morrieiit, prettiest must provoking daugiiter of Kfe that ev¬ er existed—at least, I thouglit so—Ihough perhaps I was not on impartial judge, os I must confess I was deeply in lore,—and> in fact, I don't believe I could remember ofa lime wheu I was not in love with her. It eertainly was not when a youngster of twelve I took her under my especial care, feeling prouder of roy ourly-headed oharge than I could now of a mino of gold; nor when a tall, awkward boy of sixteen, I first ventured to ask fbr hor company home from church; or still later, when, af¬ ter four year's absence, I returned to my native town and set up as a surgeon in the house where Dr. Jloore's name had been since my earliest recollection.
Oikdale was a remarkably healthy plnce, or else the good people felt a little afraid of trusting their lives in the hands of suoh a young scapegrace as they had known me to be, for somehow my horae and gig found more employment in carry¬ ing Jessie Halo to ride than any moro profitable business; aad it is certain more of my time was spent in Mr. Hale's pleas¬ ant parlor, than in either study or prac¬ tice of medicine. Some of the neighbors slily remarked that I must have a very sick patient there to occasion such fre¬ quent visits; and I w.as certain thatif I had no patient there, all the patience I overbad was required there at times; for OfaU the tanf.ah'zinglitUe wretches that ever fascinated and provoked a poor fel¬ low—until he could not have told wheth¬ er he was in tho body or out cf it—Jessie Hale was the worst.
And there was I—V/illiam Tremaine— standing sis feet in my stockings, big enough to have known better, that is sure, led about by that litlle elf, coming and going at her every beck and oall, aa if I were a great simpleton, as in truth I must havebeen, for after playing 'yours most devotedly' for si.^: months, I was no near¬ er winning than al first.   Open-hearted and candid she was on  every other Bub¬ ject ; bul ju?t let mo speak of love or marriage, and I might as* weil talk to a stone wall for all the sense I could get from her.   No maiter how cautiously I might approach tho subject, she was al¬ ways ready with some offhand answer as as far from what I wanted as the equator from the poles, until I was almosl in de¬ spair, but more eager after every failure. ' All is fair in love and war:' or at least I thought so, ar.d resolved lo try the result of strategy oa my wilful little lady-love. One ilae niorning, as we were about starting for a ride oa horseback, and I was assisting Hiss Jessie into the saddle, her horse commenced rearing and kick¬ ing at an alarming rate; of course  the .jagged bits of ironi had cautiously insert¬ ed beneath the saddle had nolhing lo do with it.   By the time she was fairly seat¬ ed he had became perfectly unmanage¬ able, throwing her violently frpm the sad¬ dle: 01 eoursel caught her beforo sbe touched the ground.   No sooner was sbe in safety, ta.-.n, with a deep groan, I stag¬ gered back against tho fence, my right arm hanging helpless by my side. It look nicely,  for Jessie was beside me in a moment.
"0 Will,' she said ijiteously, 'that terri¬ ble horse has broken your arm; and what will you do? Poor Will; poor Will!"
How like a rascal I felt at sight of her distress; but I was not going ti> give up then; so I answered, with anolher terri¬ ble groan, "It is nothing, dear Jessie; I would suffer a thausand times more to feel that I had saved your precious life.'
"But oh, I am so sorry ! What can be done for you ? she said, in such touching accents tbat I half repented.
'The end justifies the means,' I Ihought. The end accomplished certainly did.— My answer was in a voice low and faint, as ifl wasjust dying.
"Only tell me that you love me, Jessie, darling; it will soothe my pain more than anything else in the world." And then, like the great simpleton tbat I was, I put that right arm around her, and never dis¬ covered my mistake until she suddenly away from mo.
" Woldn't o little brandy and water do as Well, Mr. Tremaine?" she said areh- ly. "There doa't seem to be any bones broken
; the injury was internal, 1 shoald think." WpHldn't I have sold myeelf for b six-, had raised the bowed head-
pence f But there was no help for it; so I had to own the trick, and went home wishing I had broken my arm, or neck I didn't care much. After that, for awhile, I was rather shy of the love sub¬ ject, for I did fanoy hearing of my last attempt; but "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth sp»aketh,' and my heart was so fall of my love for Jessie Hale, IBlt I oould not force my tongue to keep silence very long. So one morn" ing, after lounging in my studdy until I was tired ofevery thing—myself in partic¬ ular—I went over the way, resolved that the matter should bo decided before I returned. Jessie was silting by the par¬ lor window, busily sewing, and humming soma merry tune to herself when Ien ter¬ ed. She was looking prettier than ever, I Ihought; and I (ound it terrible hard work to talk on commonplace subjeots, when my mind was so full of the one so important lo tae.
Atlast I broke in upou soma of her care¬ less nonsense with—" Why in the world, Jessie, don't you say whether you love mo or not? What is tho use of keeping a fel¬ low in finspense forever? 1 •believe you do—in fact I know you do."
Here I was again makiug a simpleton of myself. I might have known sho nev¬ er would have told me after that, but I did not understand woman kind as well then, as I iiave dono since.
"Oh! you know, then, do you?" she said, cooUy, with a merry twinkle iu her eye.
"Then, ofeourse, there is no need of my telling you."
" No, I did not mean it, Jessie," I said penitently. " But do you love me ? Will you answer me, yes or no ? Will you an¬ swer me, yes or no ?" '.- Yes or no," she answered, demurely. •' 0 Jessie Hale," I e.xclaimed, impa¬ tiently, " you will drive me crazy!"
"A terrible misfortune, surely," she said, with a laugh, throwing down her work and stepping through the low win - dow upon the lawn. " Now Will, I will tell you what I will do if you will promise never to plague me again about this."
"Iwill promise anything if you will only give an honest answer," I said ea¬ gerly.
" Well, then, if you can catch me be¬ fore I reach the elm tree, I will give you a candid answer, upon my honor."
I thumped my head against the win¬ dow sash, and away I went racing over the green sward with ten times more ea¬ gerness than I ever displayed in playing (latch in my boyhood days. A very dig¬ nified iiroceeding truly, for a staid sur¬ geon. All the gossips iu Oakdale would have held up their hands in pious horror had they seen me then; but I did not care if half the world saw me, so intent w.as I on catohiul; that flying gipsy ; and catch her I did, before she was half way to the old elm.
" Now for the answer," I said, eagerly. " Oh ! but can't you wait until I get breath ?" drawing it in quick, spasmodic jerks, like some dilapidated old steam engine. " Let me see'; what was it I promised to tell you?"
"Whelher you love me or not, you provoking little wretch!" I said, fairly out of patience.
" Now look here, Mr. Will; ifyou don't leave off calling me names I won't tell you at all; though perhaps thia is love talk is it ? Will, I promised, you say ?" " Ofeourse you did; so don't be all day about it."
" If you hurry me I can't speak at all; for it will take me some time to think over the objecta of my love to see if you are among them. Let me see,"—begin¬ ning to count herfingers—"there'sChloe, that's one; and Prince—though he hurt your arm, you know—is two; and old Brindle is three; and Watch is four, and —let mo see—yes, there is—Mr. William Tremaine is five.
I don't think I stopped to thank her for that answer, and if my return to the parlor was not as rapid as my exit from it, it was certainly far more dignified, I had taken my hat and was out of thogate before Jessie reached the house.
1 wont home in no very enviable state of mind, resolving that I would never go near her again. But by lho time I reach¬ ed my study my anger had cooled consid¬ erably, and I sat down in my arm chair and begau to think of any plan just as I had done a hundred times before, how I eould outwit this provoking little elf.— Have her I would; bul how ? That was the question.
" A letter for you sir," called out the boy al the door.
I took the letter and tore it open. I was too much occupied with my thoughts to caro much what its contents were; but the first few lines fixed my attention. It was from an uncle of mine—a surgeon ia a flourishing village—making me a very advantageous offer if I would come and take his place. This was just thesitua¬ tion I had beea wanting for years, nnd I hailed it with delight now.
A moment's reflection showed me what was needed, for if she really cared for me, my absence would make ber willing to acknowledge it. It did not take long to make arrangements, and before night they were all completed; and the next morning I started for tho station, oalliog at Mrs. Hale's on the way, to bid Jessie good bye. I could see the little witch did not believo one vford of the story I told her.
" I hope, Mr. Will, you won't break your arm in the train ; it would make it so bad for you," she Paid, with tt queer smile, as I concluded.
" And you not there to cure it," I re¬ torted.
" But seriously, Jessie, I am in earnest, now. It is probable I ahall not seo you again for yeara; for if I like the place I shall remain there."
She still believed it some trick, for her eyes said plainly, ' You can't cheat me again.' And she said good-byo as. coolly as if it were only for a day. I went down the walk, feeling muoh as I think Adam must havo felt when he left Paradise, ex¬ cept tbat his Eve went with him and I lelt mine behind.
I was woll pleased with the place, and was not long in accepting my uncle's prepo.'al. I wrote to this effect to a law¬ yer, desiring him to dispose of my pro' perty at Oakdale. I knew Jessie would hear ofit, and it would give her lo under¬ stand that I had no intention of return' ing, determinod that if I did not succeed this lime, I would give her up forever Ihough my heart gave a quick throb of pain at the thought.
It was just at .twihghl, of a pleasant September day, when I reached Oakdale- Direct to Mr. Hale's I took my way, say¬ ing over to myself as I went, 'Now or never!" Straight up to the gravel walk and across the broad lawn I went, and on into the dusky parlor, unannounced. By the light, I saw Jessie sitting on a sofa, her head resting on a pillow. She was alone and had not heard my step. Was she asleep ? A quick sob answered me. That augurs well for my success. In a moment I was kneeling beside her, and
" Jessie! dear Jessie!" I said tenderly, scarcely knowing how she would receive it. With a quick start and a glad cry of surprise her head was pillowed on my bosom.
" Ob, I am so glad to see you. Will !— They told me you would not relurn, and I have been so lonely without.you."
" And I have been lonely, too, Jessie, darling," I aaid. " My home anywhere would always be hjnely without you. WiU you not go and shara it with me?"
The answer was very low, but I knew it was in the afBrmativo.
" Will you become my wife next week ?" I was determined to make sure work now.
There was aome hesitation, and a few objections raised, but I finally gained the same answer to that.
Then I hurried fo tho drawing-room, to seo the old folks. There was consid¬ erable pieasuro expressed at my unex¬ pected arrival, and great surprise was manifested when my errand was made known; and a few toars .and regrets from the mother at parting with Jessie, and hearty congratulations from the father concluded by the remark, "That just as likely as not she would change her mind while changing her dress."
I think I accomplished moro in that half hour than I ever did in twice lhat length of time before or since ; for at its espiiation I was supremely happy. And the result was thut in a week t got the prettiest, best lillle wife in all England; and what is better still, I think so now, oven though sho did say, ten minutes af¬ ter the ceremony, " I never lold you I loved you. Will!"
And she nover has, to this day.

" STUMPY BROWN."— jaSTICS SLOW BUT SirJlE.
sprang
About forty years since  there lived in the town  of  Woodbrldge, in Suffolk, a short, sharp   featured, wiry litlle  man, who apparently h.ad no occupation, but professed lo be a farm-laborer, and really got his living prinoipally h^' poaching.— His proper uame was Eichard Brown, but the townsfolk of Woodbrldge, from some fancy or olher, probably on account of his short stature, had changed the Kich¬ ard into Stumpy, and by that name he was always known.   Every one was afraid of Stumpy Brown ; helived in the out. skirts of the town, on   the Martlesome road, and r.arely troubled himself to con¬ verse much with his neighbors.   Whea ho did it w-is generally to disposo of a hare, or game of some description, which he nearly always had in stook.   His drefs, in addition to the knee-breeches of the period, and   the usually bright-colored vest, WES a long brown coat ot very shab¬ by appearance, and a loose felt hat, which ho wore over his forehead, whilst hia cold, gray eyes glanced malignantly from un¬ der its brim. No one could say any harm of Brown, beyond lhat he was a surly, ill- conditioaed sore of fellow, who shunned his neighbors, and was a known poacher, but yet there were suspicions and rumors abroad about him, which, if true, would have brought him to the gallows.   Some few years before the time of which 1 speak three murders had oecurred at various intervals in  the neighborhood of Wood bridge,  which, considering   the   nalure and size of the town, was a very startling circumstance.   Of uone of these was the perpetrator known.   An officer of a regi¬ ment quartered in Woodbrldge h.id been drinking ia the Ked Lion public house on the Martlesome road ;   he had been seen and recognized here; on the foUow¬ ing morning he was found ia a ditch near by, his throat cat, aad his pockets empty. The captn|n of a Norwegian trading ves¬ sel, then lying ia tho port, after he had beea missiag fcr tea days, was found in a putrescent condition at the bottom of the river, tied up in a sack, witbout the least clue as to where or by whom he had been murdered.   Lastly, a farmer of the name of  Aigblon, whose property was in the neighbo.nood, was known  to have gone into Woodbrldge on the market day; lie did not return home in the evening, but on the followiog moraing his  body was found in a barn by the side of the road behind tho town, which it was necessary for him to traverse oa his way back. His head had boea battered in, apparently by some blunt inslrumeat, and his pock¬ ets rifled. More atleation appears to have been e.xcited by this murder than in the two former cases.   The officer  and the captain were strangers in tlte town, and with regard   to tho Norwegian skipper's ease, it «as the general opinion tbatsome of the vessel's crew were connected with the matter.  But in this inatance, the vic¬ tim was no stranger.   Farmer Aighton well known and respected in Woodbrldge, and had been seen  and spoken  to by many of his frieuds oa the very day of his assassination.    The inquest was held as in the two other cases, but no evidence was adduced as to tbe author of the crime. Justice appears   to have been  tardy in those times, at any rate in that quarter of the world; nowa-days it ivould indeed astonish us  should three undiscovered murders spread their dark   shadows of suspicion and fear over a single small town within the course of ten years.
Although no evidence has been brought before the authorities, tending to incul¬
pate any individual with the murder of Aighton, yet the finger of suspicion, as, directed by the good people of Wood- bridge, pointed to Stumpy Browu. He was known to have poached on the far¬ mer's grounds, aad had been prosecuted by him, and thereatend with a second summons. Stumpy was a sour-mouthed fellow, and had been heard to say that he would " do for"' any person who interfered with what he considered his privileges,, and in consequence of this, many farmers aad neighbors had refrained from prose- cutiag Brown, absolutely through fear. Henco it was thought nnt improbable that Stumpy Brown had murdered Farmer Aighton lo prevent his executing tis threat of a second summons. Time pass¬ ed on, and the people forgot their suspi¬ cious concerning Brown. When I wasa boy in tho town, about forty years since. Stumpy was regarded by the more sensible folks as a character, a queer sulky old fel¬ low, but no oredit was given to the ru¬ mors of his being a murderer. I was ap¬ prenticed to a doctor in the town, and peing fond of fishing or shooting when¬ ever I could steal the line, managed to make the acquaintance of old Brown, who alwaya knew where a hara was, or an old pike. Hh seemed to take a fancy to me, and many a summer's evening have I spent with him fishing in the river. One evening I remember well walking with him at the backof tho town. Inev¬ er gavo the least credence to the reports apout Stumpy, aud therefore had no hes¬ itation in referring to the murder.
" Ah," said I, pointing to a part of the roail " that's whera they murdered Aigh¬ ton, wasn't it?"
Brown started a little, and said, " I wish, sir, you wouldn't talk on them sort of things that arn't xilestsant, I never heerd much about it, nover heed much. I suppose that be the place, as they say so, but my opinion is that that's farther along, not that I should know about it."
I often heard him muttering to himself and once found himstariog intoKyson dock in a very intent manner. I startled him by my appearance, and he said, "that's deep down there, sir, very deep. That would easy drown a man, specially if he wur tied.up."   And then he laughed.
I reciU these circumstances now, but at the time I thought notbing of them.— Towards the end of the year 183), the small-pox broke out in Woodbridge with great violence, as it did ia many iowns of East Anglia at that period.   All the help and care that could be obtained wera re¬ quired for the hundreds of patients who were daily carried off by this terrible dis¬ ease.   My master and I had tho greater part of the work to do.   A pest-house was established, and the individuals ap¬ pointed to tako charge of it, lo receive the patients and superintend the nursing, were Stumpy Brown and his wife.   Old Mrs. Browu, whom I have not yet men¬ tioned, had heen wedded to Stumpy for forty years,and I always considered her an honest old woman.   Whon the pest broke out. Stumpy and his wife were getting old folks, the marks of sixty winters were be¬ ing upon them. I, however, found Brown an exoellent assistant at the pet house, as ho seemed to possess a very great amouat of sang froid in dealing with dead bodies, whieh is a valuable quality. Although, as we beforo said, among the educated of the towns-people no moro was thought of tho  rumor lhat Brown had  murdered Aighton, yet the lower classes still feared him.- Mrs. Brown had all along shared tbe same dislike as her husband.    It was said that she had the " ovil eye," thatshe was a witch, and various other disagree" able things.   When, therefore, the doc¬ tor ' plaoed my old acquaintance Brown aod his wife in charge of the pest-house, it was not wonderful that many of the poor were afraid of going there, and tried hard to be allowed to remain in their own homes.   A Mrs. Fitch,  whose husband was smitten with the disease, a.!id was lo be sent to tho pest-house, begged hard that he shoald not go.   " He knows, sir, that of Brown lhat .'ood hang 'im," she said, " and that's sartin he'll never come out alive."   But of course no heed could be paid lo this, and Fitch went.   In two days he becime much worse, and said he should like to see the clergyman before he died.   The doctor passed with me on our regular  round,   and   I  despatched Brown for the curate of the parish. Fitch would last another day, we both thought, acd, leaving him with Mrs. Brown, went into the next ward.   When the clergy¬ man came Fitch was dead.
I went up to study in London after the epidemic had passed away, and forgot Stumpy Brown and Woodbridge until the following facts were narrated to me about seven years afterwards.
It appeared lhat a man of the namo of Green was charged al Woodbridge with burglary. This man I knew was an old companion of Brown's, and seemed al¬ ways to have a sort of very mysterious coonectioa with him. When awaiting his trial, he wrote lo Brown, that unless he came aud swore to .ta "alibi" forhim, ho would "let him (Brown) know."— Brown did not come forward, aad accord¬ ingly when in prison, Green turned king's evideaoe, aad implicated old Stumpy ia tho murder ot Farmer Aightoa. It was aearly thirty yeara since the murder oo¬ ourred, and Brown was now a feeble old man. Whether it was on aocount of hi' old age, and the lime whioh htid elapsed since the murder, or whether in default of evidence, I cannot say, but Brown who w.as tried at Bury assizes, was convicted of aggravated mauslaughter only, and sen¬ tenced to penal servitude forthe remain¬ der ofhis doys. Tbe ship in which he was to have gone to Botany was one of the lasl convict transports whioh left England- It was r.-reoked in the channel off Bou"
logno, and all on board were drowned	
Then one of the mysterious murders was explained in tho person of my old ac¬ quaintance, and expiated.
Mrs. Brown did not long survive her husband. As she lay on her death-bed she said to the doetor, "I should like to speak to some one before I go." The clergyman was sent for, but when he came the old wom.-m raised heraelf in her bed and said, "that's no use in you com¬ ing here, that's no good you can do me. It's the magistrate I v,-ant." Atter this she relapsed for some time, and with her last energy she said, "I ha' gotsummit to lo tell yer aforo I die. Stumpy's gonci and so shall I be soou, so that don't mat¬ ter. You know lhe officer as was murdered and robbed close by the Martlesome Liou ? I and Stumpy ha' done that. (A pause.) Yer know the captain was fouad in a sack ? I and Stumpy put 'im in. We dragged *im first, and thea toofc his moaey and sewed 'im up. Fitch saw Stumpy put 'im in the river, but he dursn't tell, 'cause Stumpy said he'd do the same for him if he did. When he scat for the clergyman when Fitch waj a dying. Stumpy says to me, says he, 'he's a going to blab; you best stop 'im.' I knowed what he meant, and so I stuck the pillow on his faca after you were gone. He went off quita easy and natural-like,-andhe hadn't long to live anyways.    That's all about Fitoh.—
(Another pause.) Stumpy killed owld Aighton 'causehe prosecuted 'im, and that warn't lika he would stand that. Stum¬ py's drownded, so yer can't get him, and I aint far off dying. I oan die more qui¬ et-like now I havo loosed my mind.— That's getting the cold now, I feel as if that were a kind 'o smothering me. Ob, Lord!" Arid thus the old woman died.— No great publicity was given to Mrs. Brown's confession, and to many the Woodbridge murders are still a mystery. —Once a 'Wech.

For memory sure will hide Her light in bappy hoars that wero
On oblivion's troubled tide; And at twilight's saddened hour
Tbe whispered worda will cling, Of " love me, only loiic mc,"
With mem'ry's bitter sting.
Yet houra there aro when holy bcnma
Come glancj^g round tby stricken heart, With thoughts of joyous houra that were,

STOET FOK OUE LIITiE FOIKS- How Janet's ITew-Year Game.
J^
The groat old-fashioned olock in the kitchen of the parsonage struck off the hour of night with a clear, ringing sound, aa if bent on letting every body knowjust how fast the old year was going. One lit¬ tle body, who had been- sound asleep for two hours, started up broad awake at the sound, and began to rub her eyes and consider if she really were Janet JIartin, and what in the world she was awake for. It was storming when sho went to bed, early in the < vening, with her siraple lit¬ tle head full of fancies about the grand New-Year that would bo born at mid¬ night: but when she awolce the wiad had goae down, and tiie great whito enow- fields were glistening in tho broad moon¬ light. Janet looked about her with a great dea] of satisfaction. She could see the red and white squares in the bed- quilt, tho Bible and hymn-book on the little round stnnd, and close beside her, on the pillow, was Sue, dear little three- year-old Sue, with her small mouth open, and one chubby hand tucked cunningly uader her cheek, as she slept.
"God's making the New-Year," said Janet to herself. " I'm so glad I v,\aked up to see."
She lucked back her hair under her night-cap, and, slipping .*ioftly out of bed, stole on tiptoe to the window. Vlt was so high sha had to climb on a chair to look out, but what a boautiful sight it was! all that long reach of hill and yalley, forest and plain, robed in one glittering vesture of stainless white, and overhead the troops bf bright stars shining in the deep blue of the Winter sky. i
"0, isn't il perfect ?" exclaimed Janet in delight. "I never saw such a New- Year before ; and it's warm, too," she added in surprise, noticing that her room was no longer cold; " Why, I do believe ¦ millenniary' that Uncle Henry lalks about has come."
And thea sho crept back inlo bed, and nestled beside littla Sue, feeling very wakeful and very happy, and pondering in her heart all she dimly remembered and vaguely understood of the promised millennial glory. She remembered there was somelhing about the " ransomed of the Lord," who should return with sing¬ ing and everlasting joy and gladness, and so at last she fell asleep with her heart as full of happy thoughts as tho Summer woods of birds.
And allthe tima itwas only len o'clook, and dear. Uncle Henry, sitting iu his study below, was making a sermon for New-Year's day. Ho filleil his stove so full ot wood that tho old blaok thing fair¬ ly glowed with heat, and the slove coitld not hold it all, so it went rushing up through the great pipe in the children's roem, and made that warm, too, Unole Heury was famous for buildiag fires.— Whea at last he shut his books, and put his spectacles in tit& little red morocco crse, he threw another great gnarly "chunk" iato the glowing mass of coals, saying to himself, " I may as well keep up the fire to night; it is late now, and tbose blessed little souls'up stairs will be up with the first blink of light."
And thea Uncle Henry smiled, as ha alffaysdidwhen he thoughtof tho chil¬ dren, and, taking his lamp in his hand, ho went into the kitchen. It was cheery enough there, too, for Mrs. Sally Martia Janet's mother, wss"as busy as she could be, taking outof the brick ovon pumpkin pies cf the most delightful odor, and mince pies with white flaky crust that made you feel sure there were raisins un¬ dar it. Tho firo shono all over the kilch¬ en from the hickory logs that wera blaz¬ ing ia the doep fire-place. Auat Sally was famous for fires, too.
" I'm middlin' lato with my bakin'," she said, " but the Joaeses put me ail a a-back oomiag to dinner so."
" Here ara the things for tha ohildren," said Uncle Henry, taking dowa the two little stockiags that huag by the chim¬ ney, and sluffiog them with parcels from hia poc'iots. " Bless their littlo hearts, tbey have brought a world of sunshine to this old house. It was a happy day that sent you hero with them. Miss Sally— hatipy for me, I mean," he added, as a sbade of sorrow stole over the widow's face. She was thinking of her dead hus¬ band and the pleasant home that was hers before ha died and left her to his brolher Henry's care.
" The Lord has dealt kindly with us," she"said in a moment, "and the ehildren have never known the loss of o father's care."
" Whoso rcceivcth one such Uttle c/olcl in my name, rcceivcth me," murmured the brother OS he replaced the stockings, and then he earefuUy raked up the fire and bade his sister good-night, juat as the pid clock was striking eleven.
" Tudy! Tudy Martin ! wake up this minute," oalled Janet, shaking littla Sue by tha arm aa the gray light of morning began to oreep into tha room. " It's mornin', and it'a New-Year's, and I want to look in my stockin.' "
Janet climbed out of bed and began to pnt on her stockings and Bhoen.
How warm it is," said  Sue,  letting herself down on to the fioor.
" Yos," said Janet, stopping with one foot halfway into her stocking; "thafrwas what I dreamed, but I caa't remember how it wa.', oaly I thought I siw God make the New-Year, aad it was all warm and shiny, like the year of Jubilee, or something."
" Wbat do you s'pose is in our stock¬ ings? asked liltlo Sue, daaciag about the room oa tiptoe.
" Come down here, chickadees, both of you," oalled Uacle Henry at the foot of the stairs; and they scampered dowa the steep stairs iato the study. After a few momentsiof merry romping, he seat Janet to bring the stockings in from the kitchen.
" You can examine thom here by my table," said ho, " thet is, if thero should happen to be any thing in them."
Janet staid in the kitchen long enough to give her mother a " New-Year's hug," as she called it, and then ran baok with the stockings, one in each hand.
"Look at 'em, Tudy," sho shouted, " full as they can bs ; aud we're going to have stewed chickens for breakfast; I I smelt 'em, and mother said so."
Tho stockings were emptied with abun¬ dant delight, and the stewed chickens eaten with a hearty relish; and then Un¬ cle Uenry put on his shaggy overcoat, and taking one of them iu each of his strong arms, waded through the drifts to tho barn, where he said ha had somelhing to show lhem. The " something" was a small white calf that stood very demurely be¬ sido the old cow, seeming a little shaky about his legs, but evidently very well satisfied with himself. He looked at the children with his big eyes, while Jaaet danced about, hugging little Sue, and do- claring sho was delighted out of her " seventeen senses."
" Whoever would have thought of the cow hanging up her stocking !" said she, as they went back to the house.
Jaaet went to ohurch with Uncle Hen- ery, but litlle Sua staid at home. The sermon was mostly for growa-up people, and the little girl could not understand it all, only she heard a beautiful chapter read in the Bible, and the people all singing, " Come let us anew our journey pursue," and she fell to thinking about the Christmas sermon, when Uncle Hen¬ ry told lhem the charming story of the shepherds, and the angels, and the star in the East; and then her feet grew cold, and she curled them oa the cushion ua¬ der her, and the next thiog she did was to go to sleep. She waked up just as thc people were getting up to go out of ohurch, and then Uncle Henry put her into the sleigh, tucked her up in tha robes, and oarried .her home.
Thero was Sue, dressed up in hov new rod frock, wilh her shiny . cojipfr-toed shoes on, and there were so many people come to dinner. Not rich, handsome, nice-looking people, but poor old Mr. May and his lame wile, and Prude'Jce Evans, with her hands drawn up with rheumatiiini; all the Dowaings, big and little, nnd suoh other poor bodies in tha parish as never tasted a nice dinner only whon they came to the parsonage on Christmas or New Year.
"It's well worth while takin' pains to make so many miserable souls happy," said Mrs. Sally Martin, as she arranged her dinner in most tempting order upon the table in tho great theory kilchen, and stirred thc blazing logs till they sent Jshower.s of sparks; away up tha black threat of the chimney. Mean lime, Un¬ cle Henry aad (he two little girls were do¬ ing their best to amuse and entertain their guests in ihp parlor, or the '-best room," as they called it. There was an open fire there, loo, and big brass and¬ irons on eaoh sidc,jwilh big globes on thc top, where little Suo could see herself from top to toe, looking in her reil frock almost Iikea big strawberry. And on tho shelf over the fireplace was a very woolly china dog and a green parrot that be¬ longed lo the children, and there was a picture of their great grandfalber, wilh his hair braided very nicely down his back, and a big book open on hia knee. Over tlia looking-glass was a bunch of peacock's feathersj and these were all the ornaments thero were ia thu room. You would not have thought it a very pleasaut place, but with the clear shining of the fira all over it, and Unole Henry's cheer¬ ful voice, and the Ichildrea's merry chat¬ ter, it seemed like a litlle paradise to all the people in it. 'Tudy, as little Sue called herself, was sitting oa old Mr. May's knee,with till the little Downings stand¬ ing around her distributing candles from her apron pockets', and telling ivhat sho found in her stocking that morning.
" First, there was a sugar dog; I ate him up. Uncle Henry said he was afraid he was too good to live loag; and thea the conipletest little thimble, that was to darn my stockings, but I let it roll down a big crack by the kitchen hearth; mamma says when the stone wears out, and we have a new one, they can get it gain. And then a doll, all dressed from lip to toejn Sund.ay clothes, and hoops on, too. I'll show her to you after, din¬ ner; she's put tombed in the china closet on the big platter——"
"Dinner is ready," said Mrs. Martin's cheerful toaes; aad then they all went out to the table, andthere was plenty of room, and nobody had to wait; even the Downing baby sat in Tudy's high chair, and rubbed a cbiokon bone all over its bald head trying to find the way to its mouth. They had .i great deal of pleas¬ ant talk at tho table, and once when thoy all grew silent after laughing at a funny story, littla Tudy piped up and said, " 0, yes, and the drollest of all, Mr. May, was, the cow hung up her stocking and got a littlo white calf, all white avdry speck aad mile of it, and the fuuniest little blaok patch on its nose."
Then they all laughed again, and so, with eating and talking, they were a full hour at the tabla. When they had linish¬ cd they all stood up with Uncle Henry relurned thanks to the good Lord for all his kindness toward them, and asked him to teach them how to best use this new gift of another year which he had sent them ; and Mr. May said .ihe.v! out loud, and all tho rest said il in their hearls i' they did not .with their voices ; and this was thoway that Janet's New-Year oame. —Ijadies' Ucpositori/.
