She Old Year*
BY T. M. HARRIS.
Another year, with its Blessings, its
privileges, and its opportunities, is
gone. It has taken its place among
the receding centuries, thereto remain
until God shall summon it to his bar,
to disclose the things it 1 as borne in
its bosom away. How often has it
been written in the Book of Life !—
“Born 1S72.” How often upon the
Marriage Altar ! “Married 1372.”—
And alas ! how often cut sharp and
deep into the cold white marble, that
stands at the head of some buried
treasure? “Died 1372.” It is a year
so distinctly marked, and its outline
so sharpened by our own experiences,
that it will not be forgotten. With
some it will hold a bright place
among the memories that make up
their religious life. Many will date
from this year the beginning of that
life that will continue while eternity
lasts. Its record will be full of noble
deeds ; deeds of self-denial, of devo
tion to Christ, of love and kindness to
their fellow-men. To them it has
been a year ol great spiritual gain, of
growth in grace and happy experien
ces
Others will remember it as a year
of suffering and of loss. This year
their orphanage began—and this year
they began to date their widowhood.
Others, made like Job, childless, have
■said in their loneliness, “I would not
live always,” and in their sad solitari
ness have asked, “If a man die shall
be live again '? Others have suffered
groat spiritual loss—they were “over
taken”—it was their trial hour, and
they feU j “weighed in the balances,”
they were “found wanting.” Fare
well old year, from the good and bad
alike you have departed. But we
shall meet again, and that which we
retain in memory alone you shall re
produce in the day of final accounts.

Major John Parkinson was a good
looking bachelor, who had lived forty-
live years, but who had taken such
good care of himself that he was real
ly quite a young man.
He had gone to India when only
fifteen years old, and was now return
ing, after thirty years absence, the
possessor of an ample fortune, most of
which lie had already sent to America
for investment.
The Major did not like boarding
houses, and had therefore written to
bis agent in New York to purchase
and have fitted up for him a comfort
able residence in a good neighborhood.
On a cold, rainy November evening
the Ghundaree entered the harbor,
bringing tho Major once more to his
native land. He eagerly hastened to
the office of his agent for information
regarding the location of his new
home, determined to pass the first
night of his arrival under his own
roof.
On reaching the office of Mr. Smith,
his agent, he learned that he was ab
sent, but the key had been left lor
him, accompanied by a note regret
ting that business in the country com
pelled the writer to relinquish the
pleasure of personally greeting the
Major on his arrival, but assuring him
that he would find his house in com
plete order, with servants to minister
to his wants.
Though sorry the agent had not
been able to meet him personally, the
Major made the best of it, and turned
to the card attached to the key for in
struction as to the location of his resi
dence, and saw written thereon : “No.
— Wakefield street;” but what num
ber, unfortunately the card did not
say. “ However,” muttered the Ma
jor, “I can’t go very far wrong, as it
says between Hudson and Vandam
streets. At the worst, it is only try
ing the doors with my key until I
come to the right one.”
And the Major strolled briskly off
through the rain, humming to himself,
“Home, sweet home.”
After much inquiry of policemen
and consulting’of directories at corner
drug stores, and studying of cabalistic
characters on the street lamps, our
Major succeeded in discovering Wake-
Icy street—a broad handsome street,
lined on each side with substantial
looking brown stone houses.
“ A very good neighborhood,”
thought the Major, approvingly; “very
good, indeed. I don’t object to this
kind of thing at all. Smith is cer
tainly a capital judge of real estate.
Now I wonder which of these houses
belong to me?”
They were all painfully alike—all
with handsome bay windows on the
first floor, imposing flights of stone
and vestibules of white check
ed marble. The Major crept softly
up to the steps of one, and applied
his key under the silver plated knob,
It wouldn’t fit. This certainly
could not be the house; moreover, he
felt unpleasant, like a burglar, as he
sneaked down the steps again.
He tried the second door, and then
the third. Both obstinately declined
to yield to the gentle persuasion of the
key.
This is beginning to get awkward,”
thought the perturbed Major, wiping
the heavy drops from his brow. “ Sup
pose I should be obliged to spend the
night here, trying to get in. Besides,
if I am not careful I shall be arrested,
and spenJ iny first night for thirty
years in my native land in the station
house. I’ll try one more door, and if
that doesn’t prove to be the right one,
I’ll go to the hotel.”
lie slipped the key in the key hole ;
it revolved noiselessly, and the door
swung softly open upon its polished
hinges.
“ The right one at last, as I live!”
chuckled the Major. “That good-
hearted rascal, Smith, means to give
me a surprise. I see through it all
now; but I don’t intend to be sur
prised at anything after this.”
He looked around. The gaslights
were burning brightly in the hall, re
ception room and parlors; the soft,
summer-like atmosphere of a furnace
dispelled all lingering idea of cold or
wet ; and there were groups of merry
guests moving to and fro to the in
spiring notes of a grand piano.
“ Smith never told me a word of the
place,” thought Major Parkinson, “but
it’s a good idea—a capital idea. Called
unexpectedly in the country, eh ? Ah,
lie’s a sly Smith.”
He placed his dripping umbrella in
the stand, and deliberately hung up
his hat and overcoat on the elegant
black walnut hall-rack, and then he
came and stood in the door-way, both
hands serenely joined under his coat
tails, and a beaming countenance,
which showed all the white teeth to a
good advantage.
“ Goodness, gracious!” exclaimed a
a portly lady in black velvet, “who
nal reflection ; “ but I dare say it’s all
right—Smith knows.”
“And here’s cousin George and
Stephen, and Aunt Margaret, and her
girls,” cried the cherry-lipped damsel,
eagerly pulling him forward.
Major Parkinson shook hands with
them all round, feeling that he had
just come into a large unexpected in
heritance of relations.
“ I knew the Ghuudaree wou'd be
in to-day,” cried one of the girls,
clapping her hands. “We have been
counting the days, cousin John.”
“The Ghundaree! Then I’m all
right after all,” thought the perplexed
Major. “I was beginning to think
there might be some awkward mistake
here, but the GHfuudaree settles mat
ters.”
Oh ! and here’s mamma!” ex
claimed irresistible cherry lips, danc
ing backward and forward like a pret
ty little Dervish. “Grandma, he’s come!
I knew he would be here to-night.—
Come quick and speak to grandma,
John.”
And the Major was pulled along by
the sleeves of his coat tow’ards the sil
ver haired old lady, with a white lace
cap, and a string of enormous gold
beads around her shriveled throat -
“Well, John, I do declare !” cried
grandma, “who would have thought
that the climate of India would have
changed you ? Wiiy, you used to be
tall and slim, like a bean-pole; but I
suppose it’s hurricanes and earth
quakes, and all that sort of thing that
has settled you down so short and
stout.”
Major Parkinson did not know ex
actly - what to say to this, so he shook
the old lady’s hand, saying :
“How, do you fmd yourself this
morning, ma’am ?”
“And you haven’t asked after Clara.
Poor Clara !” chimed in the eighteen
year old girl.
“Oh, ah, pardon me !” stammered
out our hero, “I was just going to
inquire after Clara.”
The lass with the cherry lips beck
oned to a tall, graceful girl in the bay
window, not exactly young, but still
passing pleasant to look upon, with
large gray eyes and soft drooping curls
of’glossy brown.
“Clara!” she cried, “come, haven’t
you a word of welcome for cousin
John?”
But the graceful girl shrank back,
blushing and confused.
“Don’t mind her,” said the other
one in an undertone.
“.No, I won’t,” said the Major.
‘‘She’ll be all right presently.”
“I dare say she will,” answered our
hero.
“But it is such nonsense !” went on
the elf, whom the matron addressed as
“Gracie.”
“Now, Clara, you know who it is,
when you are to be married to him in
less than a week !
Oho ! This was beginning to grow
a little serious.
Married ! In less than a week !—
lie Major John Parkinson, who had
lived a life of contented celibacy for
five-and-forty years !
In spite of his resolution not toal-
“after all, she didn’t think he had been
so very much to blame !”
“Except that you oughtn't to have
kissed me back so heartily,” Grace ad
ded maliciously.
“I won’t next time,” said the Major,
humbly.
“But fifteen years in India; it
would, of course, alter any one so com
pletely,” she said; “and what can have
become of the real John?”
Sho took him back to the parlor,
where he made bis excuses as fluently
as he could. Grandma was a little in
clined to be ollended at first, and
Stephen, a muscular young man, mut
tered some half-audible words about
punching the Major’s head for him.
But fuller explanations restored a
friendly feeling once more, and the
;pater familicis, sensible man, Insisted
on the Major remaining.
For, if you are not our cousin John,
you came over in the same steamer
with him, and that ought to insure you
a welcome,” lie said cheerily. “So sit
down, sit down, Major. You are the
rich East India nabob, then, who has
bought the house next door? We’ve
teased Gracie a good deal about set
ting her cap for the new neighbor,
haven’t we, Gracie ?
“Papa,” remonstrated Gracie, col
oring up as bright a scarlet as a flam
ingo’s wing.
“Pin glad to make your acquain
tance,” went on the comfortable old
gentleman, “even if the manner is not
quite so formal as etiquette books in
sist on ! My name is Corey—Peter
Corey—and now let me introduce you
to our family circle afW friends.”
So, in less than five minutes, the Ma
jor entirely free from the trammels of
his false position, was made cordially
at home in the merry party, and ex
ceedingly snug and jolly he found it.
Presently a ring at the door announ
ced a new arrival, and the real genu
ine cousin John rushed in, ail aglow
with his rapid walk, and dripping from
head to foot^vvith rain drops.
“Had no eud of trouble at the Cus
tom House with my luggage—couldn’t
come a minute sooner!” he exclaimed,
hugging grandpa and Clara and Gra
cie, all at once with two or three little
ones swarming over his back and legs
the while. “Why, hello ! Major Park
inson, how the duce came you here?”
Then ensued a third edition of ex
planations and comments, and then
they were merrier than ever.
“Of course the Major will stay here,”
cried Mr. Corey, when finally his guest
made a move to go. “To-night, at
least.”
“Of course, of course,” echoed John
Miiward. “Musu’t lie Grace?”
“He must do as he pleases,” said
the young lady demurely.
“Yes,” .said the Major, “I will.”—
And he sat down again.
Major Parkinson attended the wed
ding the "next week, and helped to
decorate the drawing room with flow
ers, and he carried chairs back and
forth, and went errands, losing him
self invariably on the way, and he
sent the bride a solid silver tea-service,
and, altogether, he made himself so
useful that Mrs. Corey said, feelingly,.
low himself to be surprised, the Major] “What should wo have done without
is that in the doorway ?
•‘Aha,” laughed Major Parkinson
complacently rubbed his hands, “ you
felt the sensation rapidly creeping
over him, not only of surprise, but al
so a species of dismay ! Married ! He
blushes more vividly than Clara’s seif.
Surely is was time for an explana
tion now ; and be was just opening
his lips when Gracie whirled him
round, standing on ‘tip-toe to whisper
knowing in his ear :
“Don’t you want to see the wed
ding-cake, cousin John ? and the
wreath ? and the veil ?”
Without waiting for an answer, she
tip-toed him into another room, pull
ing him along by the coat-tail.
It was very embarrassing, to be
sure ; but then how pleasant it was.
The veil was a heap of snowy lace,
like “a cloud of vapor, the wreath
was all orange blossoms, wove in with
tiny green buds ; but the cake i The
cake was a miniature mountain of ic
ing, and frosted flowers and cupids,
chiseled in sparkling white sugar,
clinging around the bouquet of white
flowers ou the crest.”
“Only think of it,” said Grace, a
little thoughtfully, as she pulled an
orange blossom into its place in the
chaplet, “to have the wedding-day so
near after an engagement of fifteen
years ! Oh, cousin John, you ought
to be a very happy man !”
“I will explain,” thought the be
wildered Major, breakiug into a cold
perspiration. “Yes,” he began aloud
“but I—”
“You’ll show me the ring, won’t
you ?” coaxed Grace, as if with a sud
den thought. “That’s a darling ! for
of course you have it in your vest
pocket. And what have you brought,
tor Clara ? An India shawl, of course;
and I hope its very, very splendid, for
there is nothing in all the world too
good for our Clara.”
“Grace,” said the Major, confiden
tially, taking her hand iu his, “I want to
tell you something. It’s very awk
ward, but it isu’t really my fault, and
I’m sure you will forgive me when
that dear Major?”
Grace, the gypsy, insisted on call
ing him “cousin John” just the same
as ever, but from all appearances there
will be another wedding before the
year is out in the Corey family, and
Majer Parkinson’s brown stone house
will be graced by a mistress who was
seen by the Major in ike wrong house.

been the victim of circumstances.
Grace’s blue eyes grew big ; her
cherry lips parted—what could it be ?
“Well,” she ejaculated breathless-
intended to surprise me, but you didn’t you come to bear how entirely I have
after all. My dear madam, bow do i>ir»„nn>fanM>ii»
you do ?”
“Sir, I don’t know who you ate,”
said the lady of black velvet, rather
grimly, failing to recognize the Major’s j ly
proffered hand. i “I’m not cousin John at all,” said
« D ear me , Aunt Rosa,” chirped a the Major, with a jerk. “It’s a mis-
vouneer lady—she certainly couldn’t j take ! I’m Major Parkinson !”

Not I, nothing of the sort, said our
be more than eighteen years old, and
was as fresh as a rosebud—tripping
forward, “ don’t you see it’s cousin
John.”
The Major looked puzzled; but it
would have been rude for him to back
churlishly out, when such a pair of
oherry lips were put up for him to
kiss, such a dimpled pair of arms were
around his capacious waist.
“I never knew that I had such a
pretty cousin,” was the Major’s inter-
Major, visibly brightening up. But 1
know John Miiward very well. Come
over with him in the Ghundaree—if
he’s your cousin Johu, you’ve got a
splendid fellow for a cousin!”
And then Major Parkinson told
Grace just exactly how it all happen
ed, and she blushed and laughed, and
wondered how they could have all
beeu so stupid, and confessed that,
The Prince Imperial.
The young Prince Napoleon Eugene
Louis Jean Joseph was born on the
15th of March, 1856, and is, therefore,
now drawing toward the completion
of his seventeenth year. While still in
arms he was placed on the muster-roll
of the French Imperial Guards as a
private in the. regiment; for, as it was
intended that he should receive a mili
tary education, and afterward assume
a military command, it was designed,
as. a compliment to the army, that he
should, at least nominally, go through
all the gradations pf the service.
When old enough to begin to learn
the military exercises, he was put
through - .,them with other youths of
his own age, and in this wav - was
taught the bayonet and other drills
before he was«ight years old. By this
time, too he had been made a non
commissioned officer of his regiment,
and passed, step by step, through the
various grades toward the rank of Col
onel. But, while special attention
was given to his military training, his
education as a citizen was not neglect
ed. Besides the ordinary rudiments of
instruction, he recieved lessons in two
or three handicraft, the last of which
was the setting up of types in the Im
perial printing office- of Paris. The
object of tills may have been simply to
extend his sphere . of knowledge, and
enlarge his views in after life; but the
ability to earn a living like an ordina
ry individual has before now proved a
valuable accomplishment for even the
heir to a throne.
It will be remembered that King
Louis Phillippe, while in exile in
Switzerland in early life, pursued for
a time tho calling of a schoolmaster,
fhe young Prince Imperial bears the
reputation of being intelligent, good-
tempered, and very much attached to
his friends. Hjs “baptism of fire” in
front of the Prussians was the only re
markable event of his life. The late
Napoleon was extremely attached to
this his only son and heir. The boy
is not reported to possess much force
of character, but the world may be
destined to hear from him yet.—New
York World.
Of all evil* in the world, there is none more in
sidious and miachievoni than foolish pride. It
turns traitor to itself, and ig the executioner of its
own follies. Strict watch ghould be kept upon it,
or it will creep even into holy place*, deceiving
others with tinseled show.
