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 ‘ “A. Map of Busy Life—lts Fluctuations and Its W ELLIJAY. GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1* 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!” ' f .... >.. ....

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.

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 -*Uabi*t inoula- * fttv-a Tlie Woman fs almost servile Wife re gard to her husband; if she -sees him comiog along the ro£j„ slip turns qUF, or posses him rnpidly, that he may not be to retogfitze hdr.
