their laughter is as gen- uke, their happiness as simple and spontaneous as ever.Nor are tbe young folks, who are by this time too old te be called children, so artificial as some would have us beliove.It is true that their tastes are in a certain sense more extravagant than were those of their tathers and mothers at the same age.The increase of national wealth bas taught all how many pleasant things money can get\u2014things not only pleasant in themselves, but positively harmless, except where the exponse they entail is selfish or unjustifiable.The givls know how pleasant it is to ride along a ringing frosty roud on a well trained easy going horse; to drive a faultless pair of ponies in a pretty carriage; to bave a sleigh ready, should an excoptional fall of snow give opportunity for it; and to be able to gratify that most barm- less of all tastes, the love of what is pretty in itself, in new dresses upen appropriate occasions.The boys, too, know the delight of shouldering a gun, bestriding a bycicle, and of indulging in other manly pursuits, the only drawback to which is that they cost money.But because we have learnt to appreciate the almighty dollar, we have not on thataccount becomeslaves to it, and we muy safely beliove that tho hearts of our young follss are us true ay ever, their instincts as goner- ous, Lheir appreciation of what is simple and straightforward and loyal as Leon as it ever was.And Christmas now more than ever is the time to test such feelings.It is the timo when from every quarter appeals are raade to us; the time-when we can all, each in his own way, do sometbing at any rate to make others happier.Even those who cannot give in substance can spare their ime and trouble ; and there are kindly words and deeds and thoughts more precious than gifts and equally pleasant both to those who give and those who take, Day by day, as tho dour old festival draws nearer, momories and old associations cluster round us.We are a year older than wo wero, and though a year is but a short time in itself, yet but a few years go to tho making of a life.We are à perceptible step further removed from our youth, with its many-sided pleasures, and ita restless vitality, a step nearer to the last rest of all which those need lenst dread whose life bas been happy because they bave made happy and bright the lives of others, Christmas chango its customs and bab- its, and Christmas in Washington in: this year of grace, 1879, is strangely unlike Christmas as it was hold in the days of tho first President and bis immediate successors.But the human sido of the festival, its intorest and its syrapathies, remain tho same.Our hearts do not change with our fush- ions ; our truer and better inatinots remain unaffected by slight changes of cuslow, manner, and babit, and with the return of Obristmus havo again returned all that in our younger days mado Christmrs gutherings oconsiona to be lung anticipated and aflooliouate.ly remombered.| china looks Christmas again, although not the LONDON LETTER.(From Our Regular Correspondent.) Lonnon, December 18th, 1879.As the holiday season approaches the looker-on in tbe English Babel is reminded that London bas bat little of the obtrusive Christmas merriment which is found so vividly described in the puges of Dickens.Londoners do not all dwell at Manor Farm, Dingley Dell, or hang up the mistletoe in our hall, or make wassail in a big bow), or sit down to supper with their retainers, or otherwise keep Christmas in what used to be considered orthodox style.Kent is now almost as intersected by lines of vail as Middlesex itself.Mr.Weller, the older, no longer drives the Ipswich coach, and were Mr.Wardle in the flesh he would be bringing up his nieces, together with the spinister aunt and the old lady herself, to seee Pinafore, and to \u2018hear the Ballad Concerts, Moro especially the days of long Christmas visits have gone by.It is so easy now to take the train early or Monday morning and hurry down into the country.in time for lunch, that the traditions which clustered round the coach with its convoy of Christmas guests are as much a thing of the past as a Christmas masque.But, none the less, the kindly influence of the dear old festival makes itself felt.Letters como moro thickly, and from every quarter of tho globe.The owner of mile upon mile nt sheep-run in Australis, the sturdy Colonist at the Cape, the coffee planter in Ceylon, the young lieutenant far away with his regiment amid the snows of the Kyber, all write home to tell bow, as Christmas once again comes round, they will be thinking of the loved ones at bome, and be glad to believe that they are thinking of them.Visits of a kindly character become more frequent.Dinner pur- tios, pleasant little suppers, and otber small and harmless opportunities of merry-mukiog are more common.\u2014 There is something brisker and more cheerful about the averugo Londoner.They seem to get away to business more resolutely in the morning, to re- torn carlier, and to bring back with them a dash of the sbarp cheery weather that reigns out of doors.Winter apparel, even, has a trimoess and neatnoss of its own, leading to activity and betokening cheerfulness and content.Young men in ulsters and harlequin gloves are as well appointed |; and faultless to the minutest detail as if they wore troopers in a crack cavalry curps.Their sisters and cousins are equipped more daintily and bravely than ever in exquisite buttoned boots of provoking cut, tippets, fors, feathers, and fleecy veils and wraps.Indeed, from the father of the household himself, ns he sturdily bends his way towards the nearest station or omnibus, down to the children as they sally forth for the morning walk, there is in the costume of al) a certain defiant suggestion of skating and a determination to brave the weather and to enjoy themselves in spite of it.Within doors the same spirit shows itself in a hundred ways The five burns brightly, and its light is reflected from mirror and picture frame, and cornice and panel, and polished fender, The very dinner seome somehow to be better served, the plate appears lo shine more brightly, the fresh and new.It is Christmas they knew whon they were children, Even from the books, which ure the prettiest of all Christmas presents, and which year by year become more beautiful and artistic than ever, are missed the giants and goblins of old days, and rather have quaint dreamy fancies such as those of \u201cAlice in Wonderland,\u201d with even quainter and more funciful devices by designers such as Barnard and Caldecott, The old pantomine, with its vigorous sort of ancient comedy, will never again |} be revived.The clown used to break windows and make slides with butter, and sit upon babies, and assault old women.Indeed, the humor of those dnys' was a type suited to schoolboys who revelled in Smollett and Marryat, and could appreciste the humor of piaying rough practical jokes upon n purser, Now, the pantomine is little more than a gurgeous fairy extravaganza, in which the clown plays but a subordinate part, while harlequins and columbines multiplied by pairs or even fours preside over enchanting vistas \u2018of danceland in moonlit dells, or amid clouds of ever-shifting and changing | bues.\u2014\u2014 himself imprisoned among five noisy spirits, coltony, horsey, and of that boisterous and coursely spoken tem- peramout which the refined and gentle parson would have characterized as rowdy.Tho Reverend George was a, Christian gentleman, but so far as it was possible fer his mild nature to hate any one, he hated fust young men.He was not fond of strungers in a general way.Ho endured them, but he did not love them.He had lingered on the platform till the train was within thres minutes of starting, in the hope of securing for himself the luxury of privacy, but as the lon hand of the station clock marked the third minute before eleven, he eapied an empty carriage, and wus in the act of ontering it when a band was laid very gontly en his sleeve.\u201cPardon mo, sir,\u201d suid a somewhat agitated voice, \u201care you à medical man ?\u201d Mr, Caulfield turned,fand confronted au man of slight figure and middle beight, some years younger than him- velf\u2014a man with a pale face, delicate foatures, und soft bluek eyes; à vory interesting countenance, thought the curate.The stranger looked anxious and hurried.\u201cNo,\u201d answered Mr.Caulfield, I am a clergyman.\u201d \u201cThat is almost as good.My dear sir, will you do me a great favor ?My sister.an invalid, is travelling by this train, alone, but she will be met by friends at Milldale Junction.She is very ill\u2014nothing infectious; chest complaint, poor girl.If you will afford her the privilege of your protection, only as far as Milidale, you will oblige me enormously.\u201d There was no time for hesitation, the bell was ringing clamorously, people were hurring to their seats.\u201cWith pleasure,\u201d said the good-na- tured curate, sorry to lose the delight ot loneliness, embarrassed at the idea of an unknown invalid, but far too kind to shrink from doing 4 \u2018an act of mercy.The young man ran to the second- class waiting room, the door of which was just opposite, and returned almost immediately, carrying a muffled figure in his arms\u2014a small, fragile form, which be carried as easily as if it bad been that of a child.This slonder figure, balf buried in a large Rob Roy sbawl, bo placed with infinite care in one of the seats farthest from the door; then be ran bacz to the waiting room for more wraps, a pillow, and a foot.warmer.He Administered with womanly tenderness to'ihe comfort of the invalid, who reclined motionless and silent in her corner, and then, hurried and agitated in the imminent depart ure of the mail, he stood at the door of the carriage talking to Mr.Caul- field, Who bad taken his seat in the opposite corner of that occupied by the invalid.«You are moro than godd,\u201d eid the stranger, \u201cDon't talk to her ; she is low and nervous, and you will agitate her painfully if you force her to talk.I dare say she will doze all the way.It is only an hour from here to Mill- dale, and no stoppage till you get there.Oh, by-the-way, kindly take this bottle, \"and if sho should turn faint or giddy on the way, give her a fow drops of the contents, There goes the flag.Will you allow me to otfer you my card?I am deeply indebled.\u2014 good night.\u201d All this bad been said hurriedly.\u2014 George Caulfield had hardly time to take tho proffemed card when the engine puffed itsolf laboriously out of the great ghastly terminus, a wilderness of iron work, a labyrinth of tunnels and sidings and incomprehensible platforms, very gloomy on- Lbis cold winter night.For tho first few minutes Mr.Caul- field fell so confused and disturbed by the suddenness of the chargo that had been enforced upon bim that he bard- ly know what he was doing.Then he glanced at the lady, and saw with a feeling of relief that her head wus reposing comfortably against the padded division of the carriage, and tbat her faco was bidden by a blue gauze veil, which she wore over à small brown straw hat.Sho was breathing somewhat heavily, he thought, but that was to be expected in .a sufferer from chest complaint.: «: \u201cI hope her heart is all right,\u201d thought George, with a sudden sense of the awfulness of his position were his invalid charge Lo expire while in his care.He looked at the stranger's card : MR.ELSDEN, Briavgate.The address looked well.Briatgate was one of Lhe most respectablo streets in Grandebester.Doubtless it had once been a iustic lane, whore brievs and roses grow abundantly, and the bees and battorflies, and village lads and Ineses, Mado merry amid odors of new mown hay.Nowadays Briargate was a narrow stredt of lofty warehouses, tall enough to shiit out the sun, a streot that smelled of machine oil.The dxpresshad olented Griindchester by this \u201ctine, tearing along a 'viaduot above a forest of lull chimnoys, and thon, with a sweeping curve, away to the windy open country, a land as wild and fresh and freo os it there weio no such thing as factories and smoky chimneys in the world.Mr.Caultield bad, for the firet ten minutos or so, felt velioved by bis inability to sce his compunion\u2019s face.It had beon a comfort to bim to behold ber placidly GEORGE CAULFIELDS JOUR- PS, NEY.La 1 IN SIX OHAPTERS.CHAPTER I.\u2014BY THE NIGHT MAIL.There were but five minutes left before the time of starting for the night mail from the great central terminus in the busy commercial oity of Grand.chester, and the Rev.George Caulfield, with a travelling-bag in his hand and n comfortable railway rug over bis arm wae walking slowly along the platform, peering into the ral class car riagés as he went by, in quest of ease and solitude.Ho wasn man of re served: temper, bookish .beyond his years, and he had a horror of finding p yonder, requiring no attention, leaving \u201ctim free to dip into Tennyson's oat idyl, wbich he carried uncuu in bis trave ling bag.But so variable is the human mind, so fanciful and al- \u2018| together irrational at times, that now Mr.Caulfield bagan to feel vaguely curious about tho fag hidden under the blue gauze veil.He bogan to wonder about it.Was it so very pale, so deadly white, as it seemed to him under that guns veil, in the dim light of the oil ?No, it.was tho blue gauzo, no doubt, which gave Lbat ghastly palior to the shavply cut features, the sunken cheeks, The young ludy'é ayes Were alto ether: hidden by \u2018the shadow of her ut, bit Mr.Caulfield felt suve thal she was asleep, She was breathing wl quistly that he could scarcely see uny indication of the faint breath thut must be stirring her breast in gentle nndu- lations, Sometimes ho fancied he saw the folds of the Rob Roy shawl rise and tall in regular pulsations.Some- Limez il seomed to him that nothing Stivred suve the shadows moved by the flickering of the wind-blown flame.He sat and walchod that quiet figure t in the corner, only taking bis oyes away now and hen to look at the dark land through which they -wore speed: ing, Lo see n cosy village, lit by half a dozen furtbing rush lights, flit by like a phantom, or a town that made a patel of angry glare on the edge of the horizon.Useless to think of enjoying Tennyson by the sickly gleam of that wretched lampl He curled himself up in bis warm rug; he closed bis oyes, and tried to sleep.In vain.He was thinking of the face under the blue veil.He was brond awake\u2014bope- lessly awake.Ho could do nothing but sit and contemplate the figure reposing so quietly in the opposite cor- nor.How he longed for Milidale Junction! He looked at his watch.\u2014 The inexorable dial told him that it was only half an hour since he left Grandchester.His own sonsations told him that it was a long night of agony.Naturally a nervous man, to-night his uerves were getting the mastery ovor him.\u201cI never look such a miserable | journey,\u201d hesaid to himself, \u201cIf she would only throw back the veil\u2014if'sbhe would only speak to me\u2014if she would only stir, or make somo little sign of life! It is like travelling with Death personified.Were she to lift that veil this instant, 1 should expect to sco a grinning skull underneath.\u201d He had been told not to speak to her, but the inclination to disobey that injunction was every instant .intensi- tying.Yot, if she were sleeping ns placidly as she seemed to sleep, it would be cruel to disturb her; and be was a man overflowing with the milk of human kindness.; He took out his l'ennyson, and.cut the leaves, puzzling out a fow linos here and there by the uncertain lamplight, This belped him to while away a quarter of an hour.He looked at his watch.God be praised! fifteen minutes more and the train was due at Milidalo.What bliss to deliver that oor creature.into.tho keeping of her riende\u2014to have done with that mut- fled figure and unseen face forever ! The train was fast approaching tho junction; seven minutes more alone remained of the hour, and this.night mail was famed for its punctuality.Just at the last thai feeling of morbid curiosity which had been tormenting the curato tor the greater.paviof thie journey became an irresistible im- glee.He changed \u2018his seat to that di- \u2018| Pectly opposite his silent companion: Here he could seo the form of the delicate features under the blue veil.\u2014 How cruelly illness bad sharpened that outline | The girl's ungloved hand hung listlessly over the morocco-cov- ered arm which divided her seal from the next.Such a pallid hand, so nerveless in its attitude! Something, he knew not what, prompted Mr.Cauld- field to touch those pale fingers.He bent over and laid his band lightly upon them.Great God, what an icy hand! He had felt the touch of death ou many a sad occasion in the path of duty, but: this was colder than death itself.A ory of horror burst from his lips.He snatched aside ihe gauze veil, and saw a face purpled by the awful shadow of denth.\u201cMilidale Junction I Cliango bere for Broughborough, Mudford, Middle- bridge, Sloughcombe\u2014\" and a string of names that dwindled into silence far away along the platform.George Caulfield sprung out of the railway carriage like a man distraught.He seized upon the nearest guard.he cried.\u201cThere is a lady in that car riage dead, or dying.she is actually dead.\u2018She was placed in my charge by a strangor at Grand- chester.She is Lo bo mot by frionds hero.1t will be an awful shook for them\u2014near.relatives, perhaps.How am I to break the vad nows to them 7\u201d He was palo to she lips, cold drops of sweat were on his brow.All the pent-up excitement ofthe: lnst hour burst from him now with unconttolla.ble force.The goard w was ls calmi a n man of iron.\u201cFetch the station master hore, wit | you?\" he said to a passing portef.\u2014 \u201cSad thing, sir,\u201d he said to the'agitatdd curate ; \u201cbut you'd better keep youi- self quiet.Such misfortunes will hap- pon.We'll get a méedival mun hore presently.ldait-sny théve's'one\u2019 in thé train: Perbäps the lady bas\u2018only fainted.- Hadn't you better step\u2019 inside abd sit with her?\" - \u2018They were standing\u2019 at the door of the carrisge.George Chtlfield Blanoed With a shuddor at that muffled figure in the farthest cornef.\u201cNo,\u201d he answered, pibfoundly agi tated, \u201cI could do Ag good.y a oar thee is no hope.I féar.she\u2019 is dongs * \u201cNo relation of yours, sir, the lady?\u201d asked the guard, sorutinizing the cu- rato tiathor curiously.\u201cI never saw her till to-night ;\u201d and then, in flurried accents, Mr, Caulfield related the ciroumstances \u2018of his \u2018do.partare from Grandobestèr.\u2019 \u201cHere comes the statlbti-mastér, \" said \u2018thè gaard, : without ¥ouchaafirig any, chmmént on the curite's story.he slation-master wiiä a büsihdss\u201d like man, of commatidirig présencé, and Mr.Caulfield turned to hith for protection, \u201cWhat am Éto do ?° ho asked, Wheti the tard had brieky winted the baso.\u2018Nothing, I should think,\u201d answered the station.master, shorlly ; 3 bas you'd better stay.to neo Lhe\u2019 apshot \u2018of the business.Where axe the, Indy\u2019 féends, I wonder ?They oùigbt \u201d to have turned up by: this timo.Jolnaon, | just you go along the Ring te med thd ih quire for anybody waiting 19 med lady \u2018from Grandcheatek, \u2018wid\u2019 s§ com one else along the ihe to aly for a dootor.\u201d The goad departed ov his ortaiit\u2019y tho station-mastor stayed.Ih Ÿ | trap hus been.set for me.\u201d \u201cFor God s snko toll me what to do |: Indeed, I fear | gether with afew.othèr-trifles, \u2018 wus At sleep; George Caulbeld nskei for ub bis situation, whatever sho might \"This letter, Whicli would travul by the \u2018her son was safe, and detained at Mill.loved mother ; and'it w | when Give o'clock came and ough | eh dnd; \u2018ail hét nokt Sd \u2018éaréfl'arraty -gomfort,\" mused range.| Wirt.Yeas of ago.a; confirmed from obildbodd: tpward: Hud shi tiot LF TTYL minutes.a porter camo, followed by an olderly man, bearded, pnd, spectagled.\u201cMedical gentleman, sir, ' \"guid the porter.\u201c The doctor got into the carriage\u2019 and looked at the lady.\u201cBring me a bottor light,\u201d he asked and a lump was broggal,.A crowd was collected by \u2018this tind, travellers who \u2018sconted somo excite: ment, and thought they could uot make a better use.«Of thoir vetaaining five miputes thap in finding out all about it.«You'd better send for tlie police,\" exclaimed the doctor, re-appearing at the door of the curriage, \u201cThis is uli bad case.\u201d \u201cHow do you, mean ?\u201d inquired the stntion-master.\u2018\u201c[ tnean that this oor: treature has died \u2018from the effects of a\u2019 rarcotic poison.\u201d \u201cGreat Hoavon.!\u201d cried the; jeprale ; \u201cI had a presentiment there was something wrong.\u2019 The doctor and a portor lifted tho muffied figure out of the carriage, and: conveyed it to.the nearest waiting- | room.\u2018l'hree minutes more und the, train would be moving.À police- constable appodred as if by magic, and planted\u2019 himself at the én- rate's side.The guard came back.\u201cNobody here to meet the lady,\u201d he said.\u201cThere must!

though if it is then broken only when very cold it will present à tallowy rather than a lardy fracture, and appear to bave a little grain.Fur Growing M More Costly.The accounts from the fur markets are decidedly depressing; the better class of skins will be rare this year, and in consequence will feteh bigh prices.The prices are kept ap by the and an iboreased demand.And yet tar, which has not for a long time been so dear as now, bas not for years been so freely worn.The cause is not far to seek, More tban 500 years ago Edward III.enacted that persons who could not spend £100 a yeur should not be allowed to wear fur; but at that time \u2018für was finery, and the wearing of it a luxury.The law was, in effect, sumptuary, and was passed to restrict extravagance in dress.In later times tho fashion bas bean based less on luxury than on comfort; and areturn to what is called an Arotio Winter brought with it a necessity of wearing cheap ekins of home manufac.| tare.The fashion was withstood in this country for years.from South Amorica, and sable from Northern Asia, tho Russian mar-) kets being stocked with skins of the little animals bunted by soldiers or oxiles sent for the purpose into the wastes of Siberia.These furs wero used by those who could: afford them bat there was no resort to the cheaper skins of animals nearer home.rule of fashion became very fmperizee, apd 88 one fur.\u201cafter another, camo ji reffile the entivo species of the antô Er unate original wearer seemed threat.encd with extinction.Happily, fashion wns ns inconsistent as it vas p amount, otherwise hie rite \u201cbf \u2018soils might have disappeared, and the grebe would speedily have become an .an- known bird, This your and thet the taste has been for cheap and serviceable, rathor than costly and ephemeral furs.Many of the tippets at present ih uso arc mude of skins that were] hitherto disregarded, und it ie plain that we have hete opened ipa à dépit.ment of commerce where production.is as yet unchecked, and.importation from distant countries unnecessary, Tho gain has-been direct añd withBut any.drawback.A new trade is created, and the public get all the benefit of warm wraps Badin nexpensive .som- fort.\u2014GHobe: +0 À good proparation of glycerine to have on hand, can bé reugiigpropored by any apothecary or druggigl : two ounces of sweet oil \u2018ot\u2019 A dn, mel, by a.slow beat, half an ounces of spormacotti, add one deachm of white, Wik.Then add onc otince of good gipegrine stirring üntil cold.When id, scent it by stirring in well a lit tle oil of roses.Keep in small jars or small wide-necked bottles.In hot voather keep closely corked, as it dometimes gota a little rancid if long exposed to warmth.Half or a fourth t the above quantities may bo used, Every drug store shonld keep a jar of if, and recommend its use.It is excellent for softening the skin, for most ieee skin surfaces that ave not open res, for chafed places, for moistening ros or callused feet or toes, and es.ents for chapped face.lips, or Hands.When the bands are chapped \u2018dr oracked or roughened by cold, wash them clenn with soap, and rub them wll with this glycerine ointment, wipe off onough to prevent soiling clothing, It this ta done at night;
