On a certuin twenty-fourth of December : the Father of Evil ant in )uh grout nutty chair pondering a very important mibjdot. Thia waa the hill of faro for hi* Chriattnaa dinner, for tho “old gentleman in lilaek” hpaaeoooiattd oo imieA in the world of men that ha haa got Into the lmhit of keep all their popular feativalx, losing (right-- like a great many lens elever permute —of their original aignifioaneo. “I like variety on well as other people," mused the devil, “and I would like to moke one or two changes in my hill of fare to-morrow. I’m tinsl of tough aider man and judges and stock-brokers. I’ve lost my taste for Spanish grandees, and I've been sickened out with communists. My Thanksgiving soup wns ntndo of small snobs, and damned insipid I found it. I shall have no more of such poor stuff on my table. They may teeter about un molested intheir Sphere, for I don't eon aider ’em worth tho trouble of catching. I want mm ftno, rich, intellectual mate rial for mv Christmas dishes. Let me see, there’s Mrs. Goodhue—quite a fine wo man, all lifer friends ooruridur |ie& Kim is still handsome (though she has a grown-up danghtcr who is not), end really very clever. She’s accounted wonderfully pious too. Last week she turned a pretty young governess ontof her house, atid abandoned her to possible starvation, because the poor girl had tho misfortune to attract the admiration of a young exquisite whom Mrs. G. hod fixed her eye ou for her own daughter. She got up a very elever story against the governess, which the world believes; but I happen to know the truth of the mutter. Yes, I must liuve Mrs. Goodhue for my Christmas soup. Hhe’ll he too bough if I wait another year, anil then she may repent her of her hypocrisy. So that’s settled. My roast, my game and my desert must be the same os usual; but I want some new delicacy among my en tremot*. What shall it be V I might bag a brace of newsboys, for tkcre’rw prerii gious spicy; but no, they take so king to -dean that [shall not liaVe them ready in time fbr dinner. A few Italian la-ggars i-oakl'He dressed so as to taste well, for they have deceit and passion enough in ’em to import a good flavor; but then they’rotoo plentiful in Now York, and 1 want Komcthing that the city will miss. I think I'll just skip up to Niblo’s and sec ri I! can't get a plump young coryphee or two.” So he tucked his tail into a pair of tights hnd fitted on a nobby swallow-tail coat, cocked his beaver on so rakishly that he might have passed for Count Johannes himself, and taking his cake, his opetrn gfiuts, and bouquet, mndo a spring Hint brought him up standing just m front, of the bright entrance to Niblo's Garden. He entered and established himself in a private box, whither he was accompanied by a voting gontlemtui whom ho did not recollect hnviug mot. before. He wel comed him kindly, however, for Satan, who is a good judge of human nature, saw at a glance that this youth, who was handsome and clever, would lx* of service to him. “Do yon come here often V" naked the devil, in a commonplace sort of way. "I’ve been every night for the past week," responded the other, with a smile. •‘Fine scenery," observed thedevil, with a view to drawing him out. “Yes; but that isn’t what attracts mo,” amd the youth, ingeniously. “IJ's a now dun souse. She's as pretty as pink shoes and as Bhv ns a little violet behind the mtPßfea, which makes it all the more pi quant to follow her up. I’ll point heT out to von when she comes on." The performance was not particularly interesting to' Satan, who is rather blase at Niblo’s; but toward the. close of the first oet his companion, who had been gazing wily over the house, suddenly became all attention to the piece, and presently touched his shoulder, and pointed to the stage. Satan looked in the direction in dicated, started, Btul exclaimed; "By Jove 1 it’s the governess 1” His companion did not. seem to hear the exclamation, he was so absorbed studying Mm motions of the graceful eHwioitsc \ whose pretty foco sparkled all over with , laughter, and her every action indicated ; the most seaklees joytnesness. But the j dtivili knew that a sad heart lurked beneath sll this surface gayety. ami, as he now ob served the young muu hy his sido more nwmrwijvhu recognized Clarence Double day, tho eligible, parti that Mrs. Goodhue wished to seenro for her daughter. “I like this," Satan said to himself, and twisted his false mustache with huge sat isfaction. Tbo new dan.seuso. was Tory much ap plauded and a shower of bouquets fell arcund' her, which she received with in difference. When she lft the stage to eluinge her ilh-.se, the devil followed her, made himself invisible, and thus got into the very room where she mails the altera tions in her costume. - When she thought, hersilf slime the smile died out of her eyes and the rieh odor faded from her cheek. "This one week has made me feel thirty years older,” she,said with a weary sigh. “And yet I cannot feel that. I am committing a Hits be cause the money which procures comforts for my poor mother’s chamber of illness is obtained by my nightly exhibiting my rayeeSf on the stage. I sought to earn a livelihood for us noth by following wlmt is termed a ladylike profession. For no fa’fit of my own, I was cast out, and we might have starved hnd not this situation offered itself to me. I must try and make the best of it. ” And so saying she put the finishing touchea to her toilet, turd hurried out to play her part in the next act. “A fine intellect and a noble nature. She will be a prize well worth winning,” aaid tbe (h wil to himself, as he returned to V* b-v. "Arnica Frank is a charming girl, is she not ?" asked Mr. Doobleday, when tlicy were again en tete-a-tete. “Yu*," responded Satan, “and yon, I suppose, are in love with her ?" "I hope to win her," said tho other, with a light laugh. “l)o you intend to marry her ?" queried Hatan, boldly. “I can’t very well do that, because, von see, to-morrow I ex|vx;t to marry Rate Goodhue, a wealthy fright, and, besides, I always gel tired of the women I admire soon after having won them." “Do you feel certuin of winning Arnica Frank asked Hu tun. "By no means. She is full of tiresome scruples, which, I fear, I will Anil it dif ficult to overcome.” ‘•Now, listen to me,” said Satan. “I will assist you by every art in my power to overcome Arnica's scruples on one con dition. ” “Name it," said Dorlbleday, eagerly. “When you are tired of her you must pass her over to me," said Satan. "Gladly,” responded Clarence with ani mation. "Give mo your hand on that, olil fellow, and well go orit and have a cigar between this anil the next act.” “A truly diabolical nature, this,” com mented Satan, inwardly, "I'm glad I met him.” “Now for my instructions," said Clar ence Doubleday to the devil, tut, arm in arm, they walked up and down the side walk la-fore the theatre. They conversed awhile together, and Doiihleilny received every diabolical sug gestion so- intelligently tnat Satan became more and more interested in him. When the play was ended, Doubleduy hastened round to a side door, anil, Satan, making himself invisible, accompanied him. Clarence wniii>il until he%erceived a figure wrapped in a waterproof, and closely veiled, come ontall alone, then he stepped forward anil said: “Good evening, Miss Frank. Will you allow me the pleasure of seeing you home ?” "Mr. Doubleday,” Haiti Arnica, with a little start. “Yes, Miss Frank,” said Clarence, in a deferential tone, "you surely will not he so unkind as to persist in rejecting my escort ? Do you know that last, night, although you denied me the privilege of walking with yon, I followed yon at a respectful distance all the way to your lodgings, to see that no one frightened or otherwise annoyed you ?” Arnica turned her full, dark eyes on him with a grateful expression. "Yon really did that ?" she asked, in nocently. “Upon my soul I did. Miss Frank,” lie replied, and was obliged to turn aside his face to conceal a smile at his own lie. They were now wulking along together, and a short silence followed the lust speech. Clarence broke it by saying; “Do yon imagine timt I have been blind to ull your trials and saerifiees, your noble resolution and ttncmupbuning endurance— all that yon have suffered from the Good hues, and your present heroic conduct ?” “Rumor says, Mr. Dnnbieilny, that yon arc engaged to Kate Goodhue," said Arnica, gravely. "Then rumor speaks falsely, dearest Arnica,” Hr said passionately. “Hail I loved Kate Goodhue, her treatment of you would have mode' me turn from her. 1 have never entered that house simx) you left it, and believe mo now when I tell you that I never can love any woman hut yourself. Arnica, my soul's brightest treasure, do not hid me leave you. Think twice before you east away the lasting treasure of love I offer Yoltr former friends will never again receive you, be cause yon have played at Nilrio’s; but if all the world forsake you I never will. My strong arm shall shield you from the world’s scorn and lilight, and my love will nourish your heart always. Beautiful Arnica, suffer me to touch your hand, in token that you hid me not to despair.” The desolate girl had already begun to feel her unprotected situation. Her young heart involuntarily went out to meet the sheltering, manly love which she believed i presented itself to her acceptance; and Satan could with difficulty suppress a chuckle when she held out her hand, which Doubleilny seized and kissed vehemently. “Good night," she said, in a soft voice, presently, as they reached her lodging house. Clarence Dmilriedny put his arm around her and clasped her in a very serve em brace. “Good wight, my own,” he whispered. "Not yet, not yet,”' she said, and struggled herself free, opened the door with her pass-key, and hurried up to the third floor, followed by Satan, while Doubleduy went off to a billiard-saloon. Arnica entered a small, comfortably-fur nished apartment, and proceeded at once to the hedsiife of liur invalid mother, but uttered an exclamation of alarm at the change she perceived in tho sick woman's countenance. “Kiss mp, Arnica, 11 said Mrs. Frank, “and listen to what 1 am going to toll yon. I feel that I have not long to live. Stay, do not go for the doctor. No physician ean benefit me now. lam even now hovering on the borders of eternity, and with the supernatural vision' of one who lingers between two worlds, 1 perceive a great danger threatening you. Tell me my child, with whom have you been con versing this evening A mica blushed crimson, but answered truthfully, “Clarence Poubh'dav,” then rapidly related what had passed between them. "All that he has professed toward you is false," said the mother. “I have this day learned from good authority that to-mor row he will be married to Kate Goodhue. Arnica, my child, shun that liar as you value your own soul !” Here her voice failed her, the death spasm contracted her features, and half an hour later Arnica found herkblf alone, an orphan in the great, cruel world. At this juncture Satan left the house, and went to seek Mr. Poubleday; while Arnica, after having performed the neces sary otliees for the doceasi'd, wept herself to sleep. An hour later she was aroused by shrieks and a hissing sound of pouring water, the roar of the multitude in the street below and the rush of the tire-en gines. Thick suffocating black smoke ami red glare were all around her. The house was in tames, and every other human soul had. left it. She alone mus face that hideous death, creeping dragont like upon her. There was no escape now- The people in the house bail- forgotten all about her, and the people in the street below know not that a forsaken fellow creature stood, girt by tire, and quivering in an agony of dread, bo many feet above them. It would he instant death to at tempt to leap from the window- "I was use less to call for help. None cotdd hear her through all that noise and hubbub, arid, with alow, despairing cry, she sank upon her knees. Suddenly a form appeared in the window and Arnica skriekod and covered her face with her bauds as she recognized Clurenre Doubleday. “Come'to me and Iwill save, yon," ho ■said, extending his arm. “Give yourself to me now, and you shall have a long' lease of life. Quick ! there is not an in- 1 stank to lose. Arnica, dearest, come to life j and love !” But the pale gill rose to her feet, and Satan—who bad been at all the trouble of setting tho fire, and now atood behind Clarence as a backer —gnashed his teeth with fury os he heard her say, in a brave, commanding tone; “Leave tne, Clarence Douldeday. I would rather perish here in these flames than go with you, false and perjured as you are. ” Just then there appeared at another window the head and shoulders of a stal wart young fireman, who presently sprang into the room, seised the fainting girl in his arms, and We her safely down the scaling ladder, amid the tempest of cheers from tne crowd below. Immediately after Arnica's rescue there was a resiling sound in Clarence Double day's cars. Something like a heavy cloak fell over his head, binding him effectually, and he was going through the air with the speed of lightning, quite unable to stop himself. After n while, however, this vi olent, involuntary motion ceased, and he found himself standing upon an open plain where dim twilight reigned, and la-fore him stood a terrible form with great glar ing eyes, horns, anil hoofs, anil a restless tail that kept switching around incessantly like an angry bull’s “See here, Mr. Doubleday;" said the devil; “I have some puy for my pains. Arnica Frank is forever lost to me by that nnuarl ably virtuous 4 t rminatii n of hers; therefore, you must take her plum among mv entremets. Yonr intemli and mother-in-law came down by the same ex press that you did, and now I most make haste and get you both ready for din ner.” One of the next day’s paper* announced the sudden death of Mrs. Ooodhne ou Christmas Eve. In another column was stated the melancholy fact that young Mr. Clarence Doubleduy had been killed by a beam falling on his head in the fire the night before. Anil Satan smiled as he read it, smoking a meerschaum after dinner. MISOELLA WSOVU A l> VKRTISKMESIH I). W.
