There’s s door in the wall of the agss— A door that no man sees; For the Angel who writes in tha Book si Time la the keeper of the key*. ' . Onco in the year it opens, , *. At the solemn midnight hour, Whan the children sleep, and the old dooks keep Awake in the tall churoh tower. And then, sr it swings on its hinges, \V hoerer might peer inside Would catch a glimpse of the centuries That behind in tho silence hide. Egypt and Uomo and Tyre, All in that mythical place Where the old yearsreet that were once pos sessed By the wonderful human raco. The shadowy door swings open, And a pilgrim enters iu, Bowed with a twelve-months' struggle In this world of strife and slu. Waft him a farewell greeting; He will pan no more this way— This weary year who must disappear Iu the haven of Yesterday. Tho door still swingeth open, And outward anothor comes, W itb a stir of banners and bugles And the boat of friendly drums; His hands are full of beauty— The cluster, the song, tho sheaf, Tho snow-flake’s wing, and the budding spring, And the foam on the (rested reef. This is tho New Year, darlings, Oh I haste to give him cheer. Only the Father knoweth The whole of his errand here. This is tho Now Year, darlings; A year for work and play, For doing our best, and for trusting the rest To the Maker of night and day. —M.

Mum tUs wten pa writs stood thero in the doorway, loaning on a roughly-improvised crutch which Harry Wait, tho carpenter, had made her. Her cheeks wore pale, and there was a look of suffering on her brow, even though a sort of forced smile had been summoned to her lips for the occasion. “La, me, Miss Kitty 1 ” said the far mer's wife, hastening to bring a rush bot tomed kitchen chair. “You do look clean peaked out. Gideon, go down sut ler an’ bring up a glass o’ cold root beer right away.” “I can’t do it, Mrs. Tucker,” said Kitty, sinking into tho chair. “It’s no use trying.” “Can’t do what, Miss Kitty? ” “I walked to tho schoolhouse this morning,” Miss Ritchie answered, “lean ing on iny crutch and resting by turns. And I’ve walked so far on my way back. But I feel sick and faint, and I can go no further.” “There I ” said Mrs. Tucker, tragically apostrophizing her husband as he stood at the head of the cellar stairs with a stone bottle of home-brewed root beer in his hand, “sec what you’ve done! ” “Twarn’t me! ” stuttered poor Gideon. “Miss,Kitty ’ll hov to give up her school,” added his wife, “and ail through you!” Kitty could not but smile,even through the pain of her stinging limb at Gideon Tucker’s rueful face. “Oh, it isn’t so bad as thatl” said she. “Or at least I hope not. I mean to keep my school if I possibly can. And I’ll tell you what my plans are. You know that old house under the locusts?” “What!” cried Mrs. Tucker. “The Ritchie Iluin?” Kitty winced a little. “Yes,” said she, “I suppose it is a ruin. The grass is growing up through the kitchen floor, and the shingles have all rotted away on the north side, and I don’t suppose there’s a pane of glass left in any of the windows. But the doors aie sound, and tho roof dosn’t leak to signify. Henry Wait says it could be made quite comfortable with a few pine boards and a pound or no of nails, so long as the weather don’t turn cold; and if Mr. Tucker would allow me to live there this fall- “Tain’t fit for even foxes to live in!” cried Mrs. Tucker, hurriedly. “Why,” more slowly spoke her spouse, “I was calkilatin* to store my pumpkins •n* cabbages there; but of count if you’ve took a notion t* tho piaco—” “I was born there, Mr. Tucker,” said Kitty, in a low voice. “Long before father and mother were obliged to sell tho old place. Long boforo poor old Aunt Ruhamah wandered away and wont to her relations out West.” Yes,”observed Mr. Tucker, nervous ly scratching his head, “and until I get your Aunt Ruey’a signature to my title deeds, they won’t ho wuth more’ll so much waste paper. At least ao Lawyer Goodrich says. For aho had somo sort of a share iu the pro|>crty, sane or crazy. ” Miss Ritchie colored. “Father sold tho farm to you, Mr. Tucker,” said she, “aud it’s my business to sec that the transaction is legal. Aunt Kuey is coming back.” “Kh!” cried tho farmer and his wife, in chorus. “I had a letter from her yesterday,” said Kitty. “That's ono reason I am here to-day. The cousins in Ohio won't havo her any longer. She is getting older and more eccentric every day, ami they say—what is quite truo—that it is my business to care for hor. Ami the poor thing expects to cotno buck to the old Ritchie farmlKiuso just ns if she had left it yesterday! So if Mrs. Tuckor will lend me a few articles of furniture, I’ll try to make tho piaco habitable for hor.” ‘And you’re kindly wolcomo to 'em, my dear,” said thefanucr's wife. “There’s plonty of solid old furniture up in the garret, that we can rub up with a littlo oil and make docent. And it’s our business to help you all wo can, seein' it’a Gideon’s fault—” It's nobody's fault I” quickly inter rupted Kitty Ritchie. “And if tho trustees raiso iny salary, ns they talk of doing, if thut extra class in mathematics is started, I shall soon bo able to pay n littlo rent for the piece.” “I guess wo shan’t duu you much for no rent, Miss Ritchie,” chuckled Tucker. “An’ you’re welcome to tho milk of tho red cow if you nn' tho old aunty want A cow’s a dreadful help in house- keepin'. Miss Ritchio thanked them and wont on her way, limping slowly along. “I’d a’ hitched up old Jack and took her tho rest of tho way homo,” observed Tuckor, as he stretched his neck to look after tho departing figure, “if l hadn't a’ soon Harry Walt's carpenter wagon cornin’ down tho road. An' I guess I ain't ono to spoil sport.” “'Twon't never bo a match if Kitty Ritchie shoulders tho burden o’ that old crazy aunt o’ hor'n,” said Mrs. Tucker. “A man can’t bo expected to marry n whole mndhouse t” “I guess Kitty’s worth itl” declared Tucker. “Sho Is a good girll” said his wife. “And there was ono timo folks s'posed sho was goin’ to be an heiress—when tho old sea captain uncle came home with tho prize money that he gainod in the war.” “I don't believe thoro evor was any f irizo raonoyl” said Mr. Tucker, resum- □g his task of denuding tho plump duck of its foathors. “Thoro I" “I know thero was I” nodded his wife. “Mrs. Ritchie showed it to me herself. All gold eagles; tied up in a shammy bag, with a leather shoe string. Tho old captain give it to her for nussin’ him through that fever.” “What’s tho reason you never said nothin’ about it before?” questioned Tucker. “Mrs. Ritchio mado mo prointso not to tell. Sho was afoared o’ boin’ robbed.” “And whot over came of it?” “That’s what nobody knows. Jest’s like’s not old Ebon Ritchio put it into that iron-miniug’ consnrn that honey- cotnbed Blue Mountain and never done no good. Or p'raps ho invested it iu lottery tickets. He never had no judg ment. Now, don't you go to chattorin’ about this, Gid Tucker. Mind, I’m un der a promise to the poor old creetur that’s dead and buried,” “Some promises is better broken thau kept,” said Gideon. But Mrs. Tucker knew that the secret was safe with her uncommunicative spouse. Meanwhile, tho builder's wagon had stopped before tho old, one storied ruin of the Ritchio house, strongly silhouot ted by tho red smouldor of the September sunset. “Kitty,” said young Wait, stealing his uimcoaxingly around her waist, “you can't live in an old shell like this I Givo up your false prido, lovet Let me make a home for you.” Kitty bit hor lip. “And have it said,” said she, “that Henry Wait was tho only one of the Wait family that made a bad match!” I don’t care what people say.!’ I do.” Kitty, let’s go to tho parson to night! Let’s be married l” Kitty shook her head. “Not until I’ve saved up enough to buy a decent outfit,” said she. “Not until I’ve paid the last debt that poor father owed.” I'll pay ’em, Kitty.” No, Harry, you won’t. I can bo as unselfish as you are!” cried the girl. “Oh, hush! Who is that?” A board in the old floor had creaked softly, a shadowy little figure had come forward with a sidling motion, into the light. “Be you Kitty?” asked a soft, high- pitched little voice. “Is this home? I’ve come a good ways, and I’m sort o’ turned round.” “It’s Aunt Ruhamah!” cried Kitty. “Why, how came she here I And ull by herself!” “It’s a good ways,” repeated tho old woman, shifting her fiat traveling bas ket, “and I’m sort o’ turned round. But I followed sister Sarah all the way. She went before, an’ she beckoned. I fol lowed her here. And she’s gone out to the old well. I’m sort o’ feared to toi ler her into the high, wet grass, but she keeps a-beckonin’, and I guess I’ll have to go!” She started for the door, passing her hand in a confused fashion over her fore head. “What doos sho mean I” asked Harry Wait. “Sho means mother,” wild Kitty— ••mother that has boon dea 1 and buried these fifteen years.” “Don’t you see hor a-beckouln’t” piped tho little old woman—“just there by tho old well? Wo never could get Ebon to put up a curb there, and sister Sarah was always afoard somethin’ would happen.” “I loo tho tall grass waving,” said Kitty, “and a cloud coming over tho surface of tho risiug moon, and tout is all." “It’s slator Sarah,” said Aunt Ruey, pushing resolutoly ahead; “and sho wants me. Why, Kitty, do you mean to toll mo that you don't know your own mother?” Kitty sent for Harry Walt the next day. “Harry,” said she, “do you want to do something for molt” “I want to do everythin; for you, Kitty.” “That's nnnienso 1” (But aho laughed and colored nevertheless) “1 want you to put a curb around that ol 1 sunkm well. Aunt Ruey keeps wandering out there. Sho declares that mother stands beckoning her uud leaning over to look in. And it's an near to bring out water from thoro as to go to Hemlock Springs.” “I thought tho old well was dried up long ago,” said young Walt. “There’s water there. I soo it shine and sparkle. Aud Mr. Tuckor says he will dig it nut anew and stone it up it you'll build a curb. It will lie handy for the cattle, ton.” “Very well,” nodded Wait. “Any timo Gid Tucker's ready, I am.” Mrs. Tuckor enmo a few days Inter tc. the first huaking hoe of the season, full of excitement. “Hov yo heard!” said sho. And Mrs. Bradley, tho buxom hostess, made answer: “Wo ain’t hoard nothin' new!” If 1 hadn't hcord It with iny own cars an’ seen it with niy own eyes,” said Mrs. Tucker, “I never should ha’ bo Raved it. But it's true i” What's true?” breathlessly demanded Mrs. Bradley. Miss Ritchie's como into hor fortuuo,” said Mrs. Tuckor. “WhatI” cried nil tho company “In gold,” said Mrs. Tucker. “The old captaiu's prizo inouey. I km wed it must bo somewhere. And it was there nil tho time 1” “Where?” questioned tho company with ouo accord. “Wedged behind the big half-way stone in tho old sunken well, where they used to lower tho crcnnt-puil to koo cool,” engerly spoke Mrs. Tuckor. an old tin box rusted clean through, and tied up in the sumo identical shammy bag that Mrs. Ritchie once showed me years an’ years ago. Bho must a’ put it thoro herself, to keep it out of her hus band’* hands, that timo ho Imd such a notion o' puttiu’ everything into minin' shares an' lottery tickets, an’ died afore sho had u chance to toll anybody whore it was. Gideon ho discovered it, Axin' up tho now stun wall.” Mrs. Brudloy gave a start. “Don’t ye know," said she, “poor old Aunt Ruey always stood to it that her sistor Sarah wus stand in’ there by the well, beckonin’ to hor? Bho doclaro' that sister Sarah wont afore her all tha way from Ohio.” “Yes,” said Mrs. Tuckor, in a low voico. “Aud when Gideon got to tho house, thero was Aunt Rtihnmnh settiu* by the fire, with hor knittin' work in her hands, jest for all tho world like she was asleep, but stono dead. And wasn’t it lucky sho signed them title pa pore Gideon's last week? And Kitty's cry Ing fit to break hor heart. Kitty be married now whouever sho pleases There ain't nothin’ more to wait for. And who knows,” sho addod, looking timidly over her shoulder at the gray shadows of tho gloaming, “but that Aunt Ruhamah saw clearer than wo do, and sister Sarah, Kitty’s mother, was really beckoning ou the edge of the old well?” “Ahl" said Mrs. Bradley, “who knows?”—Saturday Night.

Arrayed In gay holiday attire, the people go from house to house wishing one another “Shim ucw omedetto gozai mazu,” which means, “May you havo happy New Year.” The cullers are often atteuded by ono or more servants carry bamboo baskets laden with gifts, for it is the custom to leave presents with one's friendly greetings. The presents are usually inexpensive articles for every day use. It is customary to bestow more costly gifts upon one’s relatives and intimate friends duting the closing days of tho old year. During the holidays the streets present a most festive appearance, for houses are elaborately decorated and everybody locks gay and happy. The decorations remain for fifteen days, and consist many cases of evergreen arches over the doors. Red berries and yellow chrys anthemums are interwoven into these arches, and purple cabbages arc also used. The Japanese think tho cabbage highly ornamental, and use it as a house plant and at funerals. The cabbages ure said to look like large purple rosettes in the decorations. Btraw ropes are twisted into fanciful shapes, and interspersed with ferns, and lanterns and Japanese flags are also much used in decoiating.
