RALPH’S REVELATION.
A . ■
A 'CHRISTMAS STORT.
“I wish Christmas would not copie
round so quickly,” sighed a pretty
yooug woman who sat by a fireside in a
very solemn, gloomy lodging house.
“So do I, lean assure you,"responded
the pretty young woman’s husband, a
tall, stalwart fellow, who was reclining
lazily in au arm chair. “If you think
that 1 enjoy Christmas dsy at the gover
nor's, knowing that you are here alone
with the bog, you are mistaken. 1 get
as glum and gloomy as possible; in fact,
they are always teasing me now, and de
claring that I'm in love, because I'm so
quiet. lam quite well awsre, however,
that I’ve got the pleasantest part of the
burden to bear; you must have a very
dull time of it, poor little woman.”
“I don’t like it, I confess,” the wife
replied, “for many reasons. Of course
I should always like to have you with
me, to begin with; then, I do not liko
to remembe* how we are deceiving your
father, whosaems so kind and indulgent
to you, Ralpfe, that 1 dare say he might,
not be as angry as you imagine. It’s
very uncomfortable for me, too, as re
gards appearances, as the landlady has
made several tentative remarks, and
looked outraged and scandalized when I
t old her that J was going to dine at home
to-morrow, and that you were not. She
muttered something derogatory to hus
bands in the present day. It docs look
odd now, doesn’t it, for to-morrow will
make the third Christmas Day I’ve dined
at home alone. 'However, now that I’ve
got Eddie to keep one-company, it’s more
cheerful.”
The husband made no reply immedi
ately. He was thinking, as he glanced
at his pretty wife, and remembered how
cheerful and uncomplaining she was,
how willing tp sacrifice herself for him, •
how devoted and'attentive to him still,
even after three years of matrimony, that
feVTtfcn ivotirt bf? crtntcntnmifbrre such
a life-ior the sake of a woman’s love. It
was all very well for him. He went
down to his father’s bank day by day
and lounged through a certain small
amount of work; he went to his club,
and had a cigar and some scandal, and
then, if not to dine out, re
turned in the evening to his wife and
little child.
None of his. friends knew that he
was married. They laughed and joked
frequently about him, and had long
since given up attempting to see him at
his own place. As for his father and
mother, they knew where he lived—that
is, they knew of his chambers in town,
one room in Bond street—but they
knew nothing of the quiet lodging
where their daughter-in-law was hiding
herself and boy, at their son’s bidding.
Ralph Yorke mused over these points
one by one, thinking tenderly of his
“little woman” who had already borne
so much for his sake, and who* would
be left helpless should he die suddenly
with his secret untold, and at last a sud
den resolution arose in his mind. “Eva,
darling,” he cried, starting to his feet,
“I’ll tell the governor.”
She gssped for breath m her utter sur
prise, and he continued:
“You see it’s no use going on like this
year after year. He will only be all the
more angry when he knows it, And I
think I-would rather he did cut me off
with a sliilling than that I should live
on in this style. I suppose I should always
get some friend or another to help me,
and I dare say I could make enough
money to rub along somehow. You are
not extravagant, I am sure.”
“But, Ralph, dear,’’pleaded the wife,
“don’t do it to-morrow. Think how it
will grieve your father, and let him have
one more Christmas Day in peace and
happiness. Don’t have a quarrel and
bitter words with him to-morrow. Wait
a week or so longer, and accustom your
self to the thought of bearing his dis
pleasure. Don’t be rash’about it.”
“I don’t think it can be said that I
have been Trash about it,” laughed Ralph,
“sinca-I have .taken three yeftrsAa think
It over. No, Eva, I won’t be rash; but
I’ll the governor to-morrow -morning,
while my mother’s at church, and we’ll
spj4 an honest Christmas Day, at all
•events.”
So it happened that the next morning,
just-ss -Mr. Yorke. senior, had installed
himself comfortably in his arm chair to
have, perhaps, forty winks while his wife
was sway, as he gazed into -the fire he
heard bis son’s knock at the door, .and
in a moment Ralph Y'orko 'entered’ the
room.
“You’re early, my boy,” said the old
gentleman; and Ralph answered, plung
ing into the matter at once:
“I came early, father, because I have
something to tell yon.”
“Eh, what?” cried My- Y’orke, took
ing keenly at his ton; “Out ofmonev,.
are yon?” ....
.“Oh, no', that’s not it,” murmured
IflMph.
/'•Thea you must be in love,” said the*
aalffiteold gentleman. - -w.
>‘Well, no,” Ralph answered; raising
-hii head, and looking his. father foil ia
•the lace; “it is not exactly, feat either. '
Tae fact la, father, I am mafried.”
“Well, whel of it!” was Mr. Yorke's |
oftly coratuciij. - [
Ralph stared in utter amazement. His ‘

father seemed perfectly unmoved. His
i face betrayed no sign of anger, and he
was playing carelessly with his watch
- chain, as if Ralph had been discussing
I his last dinner periy. Presently he con
j turned:
“It is a folly that other men have
committed before you. There is not
much to be said on the question. Was
that ail you had.tp tell me?”
“I thought that was enough for one
morning,” aara Ralph, disconsolately.
He was bitterly disappointed at his
father’s matter of fact view of the pro
ceeding -. he had hoped to be able to
plead with him; to describe, in extenu
ating his fault, Eva’s beauty and devo
tion, and absorbing love for hiipseif and
child; but there was no need for plead
ing now, and Ralph had felt worse oft
than if his father had burst into a tor
rent of reproaohes After [lulling at his
mustache restlessly for a few moments
he said: v: '
“Well father, since you are not sur
, prised at first installment, perhaps
you will bc'equally prepared for a second
piece of information. ”
“Yes, I dare say I am,” replied Mr.
Yorke, “What ia it!”
“Why, that I have a boy,” murtaured
Ralph.
“Of course, of course,’’his father re
marked. “There is nothing astonishing
in that, either. Really, Ralph, your
marvelous news is very stale.”
“Stale, fatherf’gasped Ralph in utter
surprise.
“Yes, stale,” Mr. Yorke replied, look
ing abstractedly into the fire as he ad
ded—“l have no reason of course to
aoubt your word,but are you sure you’re
married?”
“I should Dot be likely to make a
mistake in the matter.” said Ralph, with
some pride. “I have been marrlisd three
years, father.”.
“Have you, indeed?” observed Mr.
Yorke. “Well, three years is a long
time, and I hope you made no mistake
about your wife. I hope she was a re
spectable kind of a girl. Whatwas she?
—a shop girl or servant?”
“She is as good and noble a wife as
ever breathed,” said Ralph angrily,
“and I can’t hear any insinuations
against her ‘respectability.’ Good-bye,
father,” ho continued, taking up his hat
and buttoning his coat. “I can't stop
and hear all this about my little woman,
and lira sure, under the circumstances,
you can’t want mo to dine, with you
to day. I’ll go back to Eva. A Merry
Christmas to you, father, and my love to
mother.”
second the street door Closed upon him.
Old Mr. Yorke sat quhstly in his ehair.
a curious smile upon his face, and when
his wife returned from ehnrch the only
remark ho made was;..
“My dear, ouy boy has told me about
his marriage.”
* * * * * *
Ralph felt sorely wounded as he
turned into the street, and commenced
a vigbrous walk, he hardly knew where.
He started off at a brisk pace, and. strode
across. Madison Park.
By the time Ralph had turned back on
his way. homeward, he felt a9 if “every
twopence he owed were fonrpence"——to
use a humorous illustration of de
pression. Four o’clock was striking
as he p&fr his key into the door of the
lodging house; he could not P re
membering how hopeful he had left it in
the morning. As he made his way up
the stairs to the drawing room floor they
inhabited he beard voices in Eva’s room.
An indistinct sound of a gruff man’s,
voice reached his ear, and he stopped in
amazement. Could any of his friends
have discovered his secret? Had anyone
of them dared to come and annoy her?
>At that thought, be sprang up the re
maining steps, and flung open the draw
ing room door.
Never di<j he forget the shock of the
’sight that met his eyes. Eva sat on a
sofa beside a lady whom he had first
hardly recognized, and in his arm chair
was his. father, with Eddie on his
knee!
Ralph stood, in mute astonishment at
the door.of the room; and then Eva
came across to and putting one
gentle hand on his shoulder, said,
simpfy: _
‘/Ralph,,dqar, your good father and
mother have.-eome to’say fetfl they for
give us for our long socresy, and wish t.c
be friends let us bo son ami
daughter to them iu, qye;y. way,, You
see, your father fovea bis grandchild-al
ready.” ~4 r.
The tears were in'Ralph’s’ eyes bf this
time, ana as be tame; forward with 'out
stretched bands fo his parents, he ex
claimed: - i. •, i
“You are, indeed, heaping the tradi
-Henaf Coals Of tlrft upbn my head By your
goodness. I can only stty that. lam
my, reticence. Bought-to
have known you too well to keep snch a
secret so long.”
“Not so very long, after all, my lioy,”
said Mr. Yorker “it -was hot a secret-so
long.”
“Well, three years is a fair time,
father,” eaid Ralph;' “and T can assure
you lAm ashamed, of every day of those
three years." ■;
“But the secret was not kept for three
years,” laughed Mr;' Yorke. “I have
known it for aftorasiTa half!”
“You have known it!” orled Eva and
and a half ago in one of your letters, by j
accident, I the wrong
paper in the envelop*- * biter from J
“Urom Era,” put in the owner of that
name, timidly.
“From Eva—thank you, my dear—”
continued Mr. Yorke, with a nod to his
daugSter-in-lew, “a letter which toMme
the *hole story, and told me, also, this
present address. Otherwise, how could
I have got here to day. I was very angry
witkr.you at first, Ralph: not angry at
yoiuhcboice so much as at your want of
confluence in us, and your want of re
spect fok your wife hi (keeping the mat
ter secret. But we got over the anger at
laslufyour mother and I, and then we de
termined to wait ana see how long you
wouß be silent. We have waited a
great many days and weeks, and months,
em, Ralph;-but, thank God, the good
instfnnt earns at last; and I see before
me, too w, T trust, a son without a secret
upon his conscience, a daughter without
a trouble untold.”
’fatherand mother,’’said Ralph, ear
ne#if, as he held his young wife’s hand
in nis, and raised it solemnly, as if
a vow, “I cannot thank you in a
flow of words; I can only hope that Eva
and ,b.ny prove as generous and admi
rable 4ft our boy as you have been to me.”
When they lwd kissed all around, hats
and soaks were put on, and the party
drove away in high glee in the Yorke
carriage to the Yorke home, much to
the surprise and i elation of the suspicious
landlady, who had been appeased by the
splendor of the visitors.
“Sva, darling,” whispered Ralph to
his wife at dinner, “was not Christmas
day (he best day for the revelation!”

The Oldest Known Work of Man.
The tenth king of the Hue of Mehas,
first king of Egypt, is supposed to have ;
left what ia considered the eldest known®
•■wprk qf man—the great pyramid with*
steps, at Sakkarah. A group of statues
of a few reigns afterward are among the
best specimens of Egyptian art, ana re
present a race of men of the highest type
—higher than those who succeed them.
And it was the kings of the fourth dy
nasty—relatively very early, and still of
the first of the three great periods of
national prosperity—that left the most
stupendous and enduring monuments,
the crowning wonder ot the ages, the
great pyramids. The oldest character
known to profane history was Menes,
the Egyptian king referred to. His an
tiquity passes all our standards of chro
nology, and can hardly be comprehended
by those whose studies have been
bounded by what passes for ancient his
tory. Home calculations of his epoch
p ace it at several hundred years before
what.is assumed is “Usshers’s Chronol
ogy,” as the date of the creation of man;
1 and relatively modest estimates fix it be
fore tbo time assumed in the same chro
nology as that of the flood. His name, .
which means “the stable” —occurs in all
the sources of history, Greekand Egyp
tian, on the monuments and in the papy- 1
Tuses, as that of the founder of the
empire.— Treasure Trove.
Rather Ancient.
The members of tho Chinese legation
at Washington take gjreat pride in the
their and.’its insti
tutions. A 'When they'received .news of
the death of the empress, Mr. Blaine,
then secretary of state, went to pay-them
an official visit of condolence. Ho was
received in the large room built by Boss
Shepherd for a picture gallery, which

tion wore white- robes, and; each one
bowed solemnly as the secretary of state
came opposite to him. After the cere

What previous tools we women
To love them as we do!"
. The raoutenegriu Women, W::
We copy the following from EdwJl
King's new book, “Europe in Stortn aiTd
Calm.”
The Montenegrin woman is,, in many
respects, an object of pity to the' travel
ers who pass through the strange little
principality; but, there i%-Qo woman in
the country who would not bcgrievously
offended at any show ’of sympathy. To
work incessantly amf -to suffer is the
deftiny of the .women race. They
are not even welcomed into the world; a
Montenegrin • fathe;, whbfi asked by his
neighbor what the sex of h.s new-born
child is, answers, “God pardon me! it is
a girl lie says, “It is a ser
pent,” which is a poetical manfter of
expressing hjs regret, at tho bir|h,-#f a
daughter. The girl grows up neglepted
and often curbed; she carries faggots of
wood on her head, in order that she may
earn a few coins with which to buy qrms
for her brothers. .
She has no youth; Ut twenty-five sho
seems already old. She is married young,
and bears and cares for .her children
while supporting labor in the field‘which
. would be hard even for men. • - She trem
bles before her father, her ..brother, her
husband; sho only awakens to freedom
and independnnee * of abtlon when
excited by tha noise of the combat,
to which she frequently follows the war
riors. She urges them on, and loads
their guns, and dresses 'their- wounds.
-The Montenegrin woman is rarely beauti
ful of feature, and the coarse work
which she performs soon fuins her form.
Her virtue is beyond reproach; intrigues
are unknown in Montenegro, and gal
lantry would find a’ sharp reurqof at tho
point of a yataghan. The women
wander unattended wherever they please
throughout tho country: for while a Mon
tenegrin warrior w’ould never think of re
lieving a women from the heavy bnrdan
of faggots or provisions which she may
be hunting under, and while he may,
perhaps, rail at her for lftr weakness, he
would not by- word or deed offer her tha
