Low at the Baby’s feet.

'Tis such a tender story

And swept the shadows far.
With shepherds and with sages.
Low at the Baby’s feet,
We bring our clustered gifts to-day,
Tho costly and the sweet.
Our best we'll haste to offer.
For naught too dear can be

To hear the angel mus e
Our ears too deaf have grown.
Yet may we swell the chorus
* That surges round ’the throne,
And “Glory in the highest,”
Our lins shall sing to-day
Unto the blest Redeemer
Who hears us when we pray.
And we with sage an 1 shepherd
Will worship at Hi 3 feet.
How can we help but love Him,
The Baby is so sweet?
With countless thousand thousands.
Our praise and thanks shall be
Outpoured before the Child of Heaven
On the Madonna’s knee.
*Carol, children, carol.
For Christ is born to-day!
To all the earth proclaim his birth;
Rejoice on Christmas Day!”

THE LONeIuN’S CABIN.
The Story of Stephen Barrymore’s
Christmas.
[Written for This Paper.]
Bgggs N the slope of an Ore
ijjjSg iron hill stood the
lone man’s cabin, in
the midst of a piti
kjfi less Christmas night.
LB Marvelous was the
Sjß fact that it stood.
iaWl moreover, instead of
inents on the wide
stream of the wind.
That whiter the humid Pacific climate had
seemed to conceal on the Oregon coast, and
over grass which had been scarcely pow
dered from sight for years, the snow now
stood three feet deep. Great drifts bedded
the forests. Canyons were half choked,
and stinging crystals of snow' still flew in
the air.
The dim night landscape swept away in
grandeur; hills massing on hills, their
density of pine verdure only suggested by
contrast with the snow. In summer day
light the lone man's clearing, his smaller
patch of cultivation, his spring of living
water, and his path threading- towards river
landing and post-office, might also have
been seen. But all these things were now
obliterated, and the cabin Itself, shoulder
ing against the hill, seemed losing Its fa
miliar lines under the ceaseless erasure of
the snow. It was indeed a mere pen of
logs, with a chimney butt of rock from the
nearest cany oil The lone man iij building
had wisely chinked it tight with mud and
moss, and as he had no window and a pun
cheon door, he could keep out the frost with
sufficient fueL A little mountain of stump
roots and logs lay besld > his hearth, and an
Immense coal, which had been a section of
tree, made rosy his silent den. His couch,
made of poles, had been drawn across the
earthen floor and placed directly in front of
the fire. It was cushioned with skins, and
ho had over him the remnants of the best
overcoat which he had brought to the State.
A few other garments hung upon pegs on
his log walla His polished gun-case, a sub
stantial leather trunk, and, upon a rough
shelf, some Silver spoons, were all the ob
jects In his cabin which suggested to the
eye past plenty or former surroundings of
refinement.
For the lone man himself was a piteous
creature, his feverish face half swallowed in
auburn touzle, his weary and dejected eyes
constantly sinking their" lids in sick lan
guor. He was young, built with sound
■white muscles, a true love of wholesome
out-door life, and a certain practical grasp
and acceptance of existing facts; these
things favored him in his light with
the wilderness. But, on the other hand, he
was untrained and uneducated, had been
the sport of hard fate from his birth, and
“NOW’ HIDE ItEl”
lay now half poisoned by sullen dejection;
and these things were against him. He had
been “Stevie” to partial sisters. He had
been “Baby” to a mother and family bunch
now long scattered He had been mere
Bt§ve Barrymore here and yonder to a
world whlcii regarded him with perfect in
difference and some contempt And now
he felt as if he were even less than that
poor unit; a mass of human nothingness
which Icould only he and ache. This lono
man was not apt At putting his emotions
into w’ords. He started up once and burst
Into tear a The tears of an honest human
creature In lonely distress must be very
precious in the sight of God. But Steve
wrung his away from his face and sw ore a
V’ge forbidden phrase, which may have
«/**en his term of prayer. He added aloud
U»t be felt worse than a tear with a sore
head, and this was a nice way far a man to
pass Christmas.
No token of the day, not even a friendly
foot, had come across the spotless waste to
him. He was known throughout that re
gion as the lone man, because no other bach
elor held a homestead cn that side of the
Columbia ’ river. There were plenty of
young men stationed around the river land
ing, and all of them would be danctng at
Galagher’s to-uight. He could picture the
rustic ball-room, festooned with hemlock;
the mountain belles in their best gowna
And, not being far from Portland, the gowns
of these belles were In the late fashions. He
could hear the gay music, the floor’s huge
throb to many feet. His right foot patted
with his boot and his left foot kept time
with its shoe, as all this mental panorama
passed before him. If he only had strength
to wade the snow, or guarantee that he
would not fall down somewhere and freeze
to death, he would go to the dance yet It
was better than pining here like a wound® 1
beast The hot oysters, salmon, the roasted
turkeys and stacks of sweets, which made a
Christmas night bail-supper at Gnlagher’s,
held no inducements lor him. The lone
man was not hungry. He was only sick
and desolate from tte outermost point of
cuticle to the innermost center of his ex
istence. Whichever way he looked, behold
there was a chill waste. He did not like
himself. He did not exactly know what he
was good for. Very little of what is called
luck ever came his way; and When he went
out after it, he constantly ran into some
yawning gulf of misfortune
It was possible to imagine himself a suc
cessful fellow, bustling about with a good
natured contempt for ail smaller fry. But
the probabilities were that Ills past would
duplicate itself in endless repetitions. And
meanwhile the snow, the wilderness his
unpeopled cabin were all his portion—all
the present leverage he had upon the re
sisting future.
The lone man, his eyes swimming in
blind faintness, had just sunk flat upon his
couch again, when some muffled object
bumped against his door. He turned his
head to take indifferent heed of the fact,
but not an instant for conjecturing was al
lowed him. A woman’s voice pleading and
screaming, a woman’s handß fumbling and
pound.tig, brought him up to reel and
stagger directly to her.
He undid the fastenings and she flew in
side like a deer, immediately bracing her
self against the door.
"Lock this door quick!” she pleaded.
“No lock to it,” explained Steve, replacing
his seasoned bars in their sockets. “Got to
bar it this way. I wasn’t old Vanderbilt
when I put up this palace. Couldn't afford
fancy nickel and iron work. ”
He sat down suddenly on the end of his
couch.
“Now hide me,” she demanded, letting the
cloak fall off her head and piercing him
with the largest, blackest eyes he had ever
seen.
“Ge-whizz!” ejaculated Steve, bracing
himself up with his hands on the poles at
each side of him. “Where could I hide you
in this place? Look up, and there’s the
holler of the roof. Look around, and there’s
the logs. ”
“AYbat’s in the trunk?”
“Mighty little of any thing. When I
recollect what used to be in that trunk when
I first came into the woods, and what ain’t
in it now, it makes me feel bad.”
The woman threw up the lid and crouched
inside. So qu ckly had her whisking
drapery disappeared that Steve wondered
if he were in one of his walking dreams,
which of summer nights sometimes lured
him out of h:s cabin into tho woods She
kept the lid a moment raised to whisper
through the opening: ~
“Don’t let him get me—oh don’t let him
get ino!”
“Any fellow that would chase any thing
through this snow,” observed B rrymore,
“must be keen for a hunt You didn’t foot
it irom the station, d,d you?”
She had lowered the trunk lid, but raised
it again to make a crack through which
she replied:
“1 waded up the mountain, into the
woods, aa fast as I could wade. To hide
somewhat; from that man. ”
“What rellow is it?” inquired Steve
The trunk lid rose again softly, and her
voice hissed through:
“ It is satan!”
“I’ll bet a peck of potatoes,” said Steve,
“that I’m dream n’ all this. My head’s as
light as a feather, and it just blows from
side to side. I’ll put cn another chunk of
wood aud get some light cn the subject”
Ashe set some roots to blazing, their light
spread over his face like a wave of merri
ment
“This is more fun than going to the ball,”
! he murmured. “I’m having Christmas doin’s
right here to home. Guess I’ll load my
gun—if there’s huntin' to-night”
He reached for his gun-case, took out its
shining barrels, which were polished like
silver, and began to fit the together,
I laying his cartridges ready for insertion.
The artiste part of the lone man’s house
keeping was his care of hid gun. No maid
loved Iter ornaments more, no matron
devoted more on hair looms iu sterling
silver than Steve on liis gua His best
shirts had gone towards rubbing it to its
present high perfection.
As before, there was first a muffled bump
against the door and then a prolonged rap
ping.
“Who’s there?” cried the lone man The
trunk quite closed, as if its inmate pre
ferred smothering to discovery.
“The law of the State cf California,” re
turned a robust voice.
“What does the law want?”
“It wantr this door opened f
“The law’s like me,” obseJU?,d the lone
man. “It wants a heap of thnTgs it don’t
get ”
“There’s a woman in this cabin.”
“First time one ever saw the inside of it,
then.”
“I saw the door opened”
“Yes, I often look out to eee what time
o’ n'ght it is,’” said Steve.
“Open and let me in,” commanded his be
sieger. “I’m not here to parley."
“if you ain’t got any errand, you better
put out again,” suggested tho lone man.
“This is my cabin aud my claim. I hain’t
sent out any cards. I ain’t to home.”
The outsider uttered some resounding
sentences. When these settled to the level
of threatening they pointed out such dan
gers ns tho following:
“Why, I can kick your miserable door
down. 1 can knock the chinking out of the
walls and shoot you through the cracks. I
can got on your roof and stamp it tnrough. ”
“Maybe you could build a bettor hou.su
than I've got,” said Steve, with sarcasm.
“You don’t know what you're doing. And
yon don’t want to get into trouble with a
man like me. I have tho law on my side. I
want my wife out of this cabin and I’m
going to have her out.”
“Nice husband you must be, Mr. Law,”
said the lone mail, “to be out with a gun
tracking your wife through the snow like
as if she was a rabbit.”
At this the outsider set his heel mightily
against the door. The wooden bars heiu it;
but Steve saw them with the repeated kicks
loosen ng in their sockets. He lifted his
ready gun to his eye, but lowered it with a
growl and shake of Ids head. He felt strong
and angry. His weakness ar.d nausea were
gone His blood shot like fire through its
courses, and he felt ready for emergency.
Emergency in the shape of a big, furious
man scon burst the door m.
"Now you’ve done It,* said Steve, standing
between the trunk and bis antagonist, and
holding his gun up, “you see what I’ve got
for you ”
The stranger’s eyes were glowing, and
his breath short with the effort he had
made Snow, driving behind him, whirled
far into the cabin. He held his hands in
the pockets of a tremendous great coat. He
and Steve, like knights who have just
shocked in tournament, stood storing at
each other without moving muscle. The
stranger finally withdrew his gaze for one
sweep around the cabin.
“Where is she?"
“Bun’t let us have no mure trouble,”
reasoned Hteve. "You ain’t goin’ to get her
if she don’t want you to. She ast me to
stand between, and I’m going to do it”
All the uncontrolled passions of the pur
suer blazed in his fnca. That pair of black
eyes, staring through a minute crack in the
trunk, saw him snatch his right hand from
his pocket and fling it forward and the butt
end of Steve’s,gnu simultaneously striking

it baok. The pistol report was in his own
brain. She never had a doubt of what was
done The whole thing was distinct, posi
tive, swift, like a bolt of lightning down the
sky. The man’s body came down with a
thump upon Steve's earthen floor.
“Let’s get him into bed,” said Steve,
whispering, and whitened through all his
auburn touzle by this catastrophe.
But the woman waved him back.
“I didn’t mean to,” solemnly stated the
lone man. ' *
“You didn't do it,” she groaned, rocking
the head on her arm. “He would have
killed you if you hadn’t turned his pis
tol. Oh, it had to come to this—it was com
ing for years—it had to be one of us—and
now I wish it was myself!”
All of Steve’s examination of heart and
pulse and eyeball were of no avail. The
man had died instantly. His wife shrunk
with him from the examining touch. Her
cloak fell to the ground. Her beautiful
wild face was pressed against the dead fore
head. She shed no tears But Steve turned
his back and stood still He could not en
dure to look at her.
The roar of wind on the hills, and the
snow driving against his firs, suggested to
his mind the necessity of shutting the door.
He got a bit of stone and drove the hinges
back to place making as little noise as pos
sible. Then he closed it on its wooden
latch. But some undefined deference to the
late wishes of that man on the floor kept
him from putting up a bar.
It also came to his mipd that he would
have to go to Gallagher’s for help. So think
ing, he legan to put on his tottered over
coat and wrap his feet and legs. The woman
sat still, moaning, with her eyes fixed on
the face against her shoulder.
At the post-mortem examination it ap
peared that the pistol ball had ranged up
ward through the brain. The body was
brought on a litter across the snow and the
mountain next day, aud undertakers came
from Portland to embalm and inclose it for
its last journey.
Until
upon the lone man. He enlisted the Gal
aghers to shelter and watch over her like a
child and he bore all the brunt of inquiry.
He telegraphed to the addresses she gave
him, and solemnly escorted from the train
to her door a group who arrived at the end
of two daya y
And very grand people they were Ay m
ator, aud a judge, a millionaire anjr the
judge’s wife, a woman almost asJußutifui
as the widow. They made brief
but the inhabitants were able to gather
some satisfaction from them. The juda.;,
who did the talking, admitted that the li
censed had been subject to violent moolis
and at such times his wife stood in extreme
terror of him. The judge was in a state of
complacent resignation. He said he was
glad the fellow would never be able to chase
that young girl as far from home again.
She had run before and had alwaystaken to
the wilderness He did not like to kick a
man when a man was down, but truth was
mighty and would prevail, and the truth
iu this case was thaUthe deceased ought to
have .flourished his pistol iu his own face
long before he did.
The lone man stood on the. railroad plat
form and helped lift a loDg box into the
baggage car while the widow and her
friends were embarking. He was too shy
to bid her farewell, and she allowed herself
to be helped to her place as if she had for
gotten him. But she had not forgotten him.
She threw up her window and drew him
with beckoning fingers.
Steve came slouching nnder the window.
He felt abject beneath that high-bred beau
tiful face which seemed to look beyond him.
“Oood-bye, Mr. Barrymore. Thank you,”
she said, taking hold of his hand.
The lone man felt that she left a paper
in h s hand, but he gave no Bign of having
received any thing until the tram had
steamed away, and was lost among the
windings of the hills. The lone man then
went cautiously up the mountain a bit, and
6tood behind a rock to unfold ids relic.
It was a draft from Antonia Smith to
Stephen Barrymore, for a sum of
money far beyond his modest dieams of
wealth.
He was too shrewd to brag about it, or
show r the token in its unsubs!aniial state
He went next day to Portland, and pre
sented it at a bank, where it was duly
honored. And, shortly thereafter, his
chums around Galaghur’s weie telling eao’u
other that 8 eve Barrymore had thrown up
his claim, and gone to San Francisco, and
that was the last that would be heard of
Steve Barrymore on the Columbia.
It was not the last, however. For, the
next year, a salmon packer went down to
San Franc sco, and happened to meet the
lone man. So he had a Christmas night’s
storv to tell of him at Galagher’s next
ball
“ Why. Steve's getting rich down there,
boys,” said this envoy. “He showed me a
building he owned, and he’s got an office
that’s carpeted, and he deals in stocks, and
them big fellers seem to know him. He
wears bine neckties, 3Dd it leaked out he's
takin’ dancin’ lessons, and, with all that,
he’s the tineas est miserable fellow you
ever saw. I didn’t --'ey any thing, but I
knowed he was aftor that Widow Smith,
you recollect: and I’ll bet, before ho gets
through hyiittle dance, he’ll wish he was
back on the lone man's old claim, with his
toes to the cabin fire once more. ”

an especial boon, as it offers a sure and safe

men : Many preparations are placed before
tbe public, and for a time at least they ban
a large but temjtorary sale —large, because ol
the extensive advertising; temporary as the
suffering class soon realize that the com
pound possesses but little merit. Not so with
St. Jacobs Oil. Its success has been constant
from the start, and to-day we regard it as on«
of those standard remedies that our trade
consider as absolutely .essential to always
carry in their stock. Personal experience
and the good words of the druggists of New
England all tend to prove that each year will
add to its sale and well deserved popularity.

Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription

valuable experience. 'Thousands of testimo

their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
