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. FaHiionabie church in New York. You enter the church porch.

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.

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 !

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.
