Thero were no (lays of gra<x) for ono iu his debt. Prompt payment mn.st bo made, nnd to tho l.tst penny, and nei¬ ther words nor tears woukl move him. No charity, no churci, no bcKgar, ever extracted ono cent froiu Miser doaefi.

That idea alono npset hini and detract¬ ed from his happiiies.s. He spent honrs in wondering if it could not be done, and sometimes ho was on the point of asking a Lawyer to so arrange matters that his money shonld at least be bnrjed with hira.

The sonls of the deatl are judged by past <!oeds and not by the amount of gold and silver left behind. Tako the pencil, iliscr Jones. It shall be left to yon to make tho record. Havo you had sympathy fur tho ragged and shivering and hungry fellow muu who passed yonr door?" "But all of them were impostors!" "Men and women havo appealed to you in .sickness and misfortnne a.s oue fellow man has the right to appeal to an¬ other. How havo you responded to thoso appeals?" "I can't always bo giving and giv¬ ing!" "Withont religion earth would be * flesert and mau a s.-tvape. All that is good and noble and bo.iutiful comes from our f.iith in God. What have you dono to aid the causo?" "It costs a great lot of inoney to keep up so many churches-!" sighed the old man. "There aro destitute widows, father- loss children and pi'ieving orphans, whom it is onr dnty to .issist. Even a kind word to snoh is placed to our rec¬ ord in heaven. Writedown your credit. Miser Jonea " TllO old man hatl nothing to write, uo word of reply. "All around yon hearts havo ached. Tears of sorrow have been shed. Men havo cursed their God becanse of tho coldness of tho world. Havo you brought a ray of sunlight to a single one one of these?" Mi.'^cr Jones had no answer. "What has yonr life been made up of? Avarice, sflfishne.«s, greed. You havo tinnfd against Goil and man and your¬ ielf Ip. your greed of gaiu you have throt¬ tled every noble sentimout God placwl In your heart as a cliild. You havo sacri¬ ficed every principle that makes a man respectetl and beloved. You havo mado money, bnt you havo boen pointed out as a thiug instead ot a man. As a hn¬ man being you have lived to be hated and revilotL After death—what?" "After death—what?" whi.spered Mi¬ ser Jones. "The recording angel of heaven sets apart a page in her golden book for each hum.tn teing born iuto tho world. See! I have bronght tho book that you might gaze upon it. Hero is yonr page—tho page ou which your name wa.s iu.scribed aa a child. What do yon fee?" The old mau looked and peered and rubbed his eyes. Blindness soeined to havo come to him, aud iu his terror he groaned aloud. "Hero is the debit—avarice, selfish¬ ness, greed, riches. Hero should be your credits, but there aro none. Look for them. Bend your bead to bring your eyes nearer. Today brings a new year. Today yon pass from earth to eternity to stand before your God and bo judg¬ ed. This is tho record from which ho will judge youi I close tho book!" Tho gale howled about tho old hou.se and rattled doors and windows, but Mi¬ ser Jones p-tid no heed. Mon passed and repassed, some laughing, somo cursing, but he did not look out npon them. Noon came, and he sat thero with pencil in his fingers and paper before him. The winter day drew to a closo, and night came down, but no light shone from his window. At midnight he sat where noon found him, at daylight whero tho winds of midnight had. blown the snow under tho door and over his feet When noon camo again, some one opened his tloor and cried out that Miser Jones was dead! Old Scotch Practlcea. At Ncw Yc.-jr'a in Scotland children make calls npon their older friends and sing in front of tho honso, afterthe style of Christmas carols: Ort np, gnde wife, and shake jroor faathora i:)inni* tu«*c that we aro beggars. We are cMjdrfn ont fur play, tiie'a oof ^ •-¦a_an lefs away. And tirat'ont bread a« Itnm -» ja,.-.-.—•-• The day will (-ome whra yon wlU be dead. Yon'll neither care for mejt nor bread. To Get the U^st Husband. A very pretty custom was that of tasting the "cream of tho weli," the flrst drink from spring or well on Kew Year's mom. The first pail of water drawn, "tho flower of the well," lu- turnd positively tho best husband in the I arish to tlie water drawer. Twall strnck—two neebonr hlzzles raise An liltin paed a s;i<l gate. The llower o' the well to onr hoose gaea, .4.n I'll hae tho bonnieft lad yet. Kew Year's In Canada. The youu.r; Canadian on New Year's morniu:^ aftor he has taken breakfast with his father, niother, sisters and brothers, '.vends his way to the best lookiuj< girl in tho range, and as he I very woll knows sho can't refuse to kiss hira on "lo jonr do I'an" presents him¬ self at her door, thero to be warmly greeted and invited to ''.nter. Taking off his snow:ihoes—it's easier and moro "a la mode du Canadieu" to climb over the crn,sty snowbanks thau use a "traiuoan"—ho accepts the invi¬ tation, and as he cros.ses the threshold he gives the girl, for whom he has long cherished a deep regard, a couple of smacks that causo the old folks in the kitchen to qnestion each other as to tho origin of the uoise. Light drinks are served. That's what the yotmg man docs. The young girl waits. But the old folks do not forgot that tho day is the first one of tho year. So after the work of tho household is over they put ou thoir best bib and tucker and hitch up "Monplaisir," and they start out and begin the rounds of mak¬ ing calls, .stopping at each house, the old m.-m kissing tho neighbor's old wom¬ au, aud vice versa, rinsing it down with "a la votro" from the sideboard. Conviviality reigns, good health Is drunk, and alcoholism is unknown. From the timo tho sun first casts its rays on a Canaditm New Yoiir's mom¬ ing tmtil a week and sometimes two weeks later a round of jollification ex¬ ists among the French-Canadians of good standing. Every uight a diimer is held at ono of the "clique," and so on till each has had his "blow out," and finally all relapse into tho old mt of common, everyday life, arising at the sound of tho angolus in thc moming and burning very few candles and still less kerosene in the evoning.

"Hogmanay," as tho Scotch folk call their New Year's ove, is the greatest festival of the yeiir in the "land o' cakes" and ha.'? mimy ancient and on- rious cu.'Jtoins and superstitions con¬ nected with it. Tho origin of the name is uncertain, but it is pretty generally conceded to have been derived from thti French words "nu gnl mener'Hlead— to tho mistlotoo), in .illusion to tha an¬ cient Dmidical custom^ ol cutting the BMHtletoe from tho oak on tho nigbt of the last day of tho year. Tho sacred plant w.-ia brought by tho priests into S^rsftifiTAW^i.i'eMfen^.oU/^iiajul ajvan. to their votaries in the language of Johnny Crapaud. Tho intimate connec¬ tion of Scotland and France dnring tiw middlo ages will easily .account for the lntro<lnction of tho term "hogmanty." Tho days about Now Year's!, which from the revelry and mummery that characterized them wero called by the Scotch tho "daft days," bear close re¬ semblance to the "fetes des fous," which interfered so scimdalonsly with the vigils in the French churches dur¬ ing tho sixteenth century that they were finally put dowu by tho biahop of An- gres in 1598. During these "fetes dee fous" bands of beggars clad in fantastic garbs broke into tho churches on the eve of the New Year, and after singing their weird carols demanded almfl of the worshipers. Tho modern Scotch representatives of those obtmsive beggars were known aa tho "guisards" or "gyzars." Theeo woro hariulcss and entertaining mask¬ ers, who woro generally admitted into tho houses of tho best families in the country, where, aftor singing thair_ carols, they were permitted to d«flce with tho members of tho household. Many assert that tho hr^-hmen, or hill- men, wero the good gonii versus the trolls, or evil oues, who were the beings referred to; hence the ditty: Hogmanay, Trollolay, Gie me o' your wliite bread. I'll hie nano o' your gray. The whito bread, signifying the good things of life, versus tho gray, or evil ones. A very popular rhyme, with a moral, is one freely sung in the north¬ eastern cotmtios of Scotland: Oct np, gude wifo, and binna swelr [lazy] And deal your bread to them that's here. For the time will como when ye'll bo dead. And then ye'll neither need ale nor bread. My feet's cauhl, my shwm's thin. Gie's my cakes and let mti rin. Having chalked the doors with tho New Years nnmbers, thoy depart to gather coppers ciJkes and frait else¬ where. At the stroke of midnight each roor!!- bcr of tho family party wotild quaflf a fnll bumper of "hot pint" and wish the others a happy New Year and many ol them. Theu it was customary for the elders to sally forth with a hot kettle, bread and cheoso, etc., and pay visits of gieeting to the neighbors. The first party to enter a hou.se wero called tho "first foot" uud were warmly woloom- ed, as thoir arrival iu that capacity in- t dicated good "uck. Mnch kindly rivalry ensued, and from midnight to 1 o'clock the streets were fairly swarming witb would be "first footers." This cuat<ar\ waa still prevalent in Scott's day. ^^ An Inslnnatlon. LIfiB In India. Missionary work among "India's cor¬ al strands" may bo very inspiring, but Miss Coombs, a Maine womim who has been engaged in tho work for 11 years, says there aro timos when that is not its most prominent feature. Lights ara kept burning all nighl; because of the too social habits of contipcds, scorpiona and cobras. Snakes live in the walls of old booses as rats do here, and at night they come out aud prowl aronniL Alto¬ gether animal n.iture seems rather live¬ ly to the foreign missionaries. Irish New Year's Cakca. In Connty Antrim in Ireland among the Scotch-Irish oaten bannocks, with 1 hole in the middlo, liko onr duaghnnta, are specially baked for gift cakes. T' other Irish counties a cake is thr< ¦ outside tho door on New Year's e.v "to keep ont hunger" the ensuli-g year. In the isle of Man a cmrious belief nnd custom existed till tho middle of this century. In each home tho hona©- wife smoothed tho ashes over tho kitch¬ en floor just before stepping iuto bed If thero were fotmd in the morning on the stirfaco of tho ashes a; lything r» •embling tho print that pointed towan? the door, it indicated a death in tha family withiu tho year.
