It was t/hristmas Eve, ana little

head on his mother’s lap. for his

labor. She bent over her sewing from
early morning until late at uight,
vary thankful to the kind people iu
the parish who furnished Her with
work to do.
But she looked weary and pale, and
Jack longed to,,be .a man that he
any more.
It was a bitter cold night; the frost
so thickly curtained the cottage win
dow that the stars could not peep in,
and the wind whistled around the
house and shook the lattice, trying
'^7 molter, smooth
ing his curls, “we have still much to
be thankful for. I wish every little
boy in the world was as warm as my
little boy is to-night.”

would come here to-night, and I’d
give-thwni my *t*pper and my bed to
watching the bright
coals, which fell into all sorts of fan
tastic shapes, he fell to thinking deep
ly of how many woo# 11*1* was die re rs
there might be abroad m the tefribie
cold, and of wrecks at sea, when there
was a little timid rap on the outer
door.
- —“Run quickly and open the door,
Jack,” said his mother. “Don’t let
any one w|t long in the wind. ”
And Jack did as-he was hid; and
there stood a poor little girl trembling
like a leaf with the cold, who begged
that she might come in and warm
herself, by the fire. And Jack took
her JlLtfe blue hand in his. and led
her to his own little chair, in the
warmest corner of the chimney nook.
She was a pretty little ttiiug, in spite
of the rags she wore, with ceriy, geld
en hair; and her eyes with the tears
in them were like violet# full of dew.
Jack's mother took off her little hood,
and gave her a nice bowl of bread and
milk for her supper.
“And you shall have mine, too, lit
tle girl, said Jack, “after you have
pawn tiratrTcnr you must be -very nun -
gry; aren’t you?”
“Yes,” resumed she, with hef de
mure little voice. And she ate ejigef

Let tod* uyssinaud agapi. I \
She had eaten all she wished, she
said, thought It was very nice; and
she thought JMk was very nice, and
thantfeH Wfu a thousand times. Jack
wondered that she grew warm so
had reached the frostiest cerner in
the room. sa
“Why are you so warm?"asked he.
And the little girl said that she had
bevferV enfe'T.niriTfcg, armralkOa to
the shy little stranger as merrily as
possible; but she was incHiuM to be
very silent, though she looked
um used.
Jack asked her where she lived;
and when she answered very sadly,
that she hadn’t any home at all, he
spoke out eagerly:
“Then you shall come and live with
us. I’m gdfng to bes man pretty
m,T“"Or7-)r 'T>a , v7)y pretti dres#
she gave him a very bright, grateful
look, which was beautiful to see, and
Jack thought he’d never seen one
half so pretty. She was prettier
even than Bess Brown, his little rosy
cheeked sweetheart at school. But
while he was looking at her, she sud
denly vanished as a shadow on the
wall might have done; and, from an
opposite corner, the tiniest little
laify imaginable danced out waving
a wand like frosted silver and dress
ed ail in gllltiering'”white, like some
ififieilitshewore. peri
od ortljsr pert little head, was
mod about the brim with a fringe of
tiny icicles; and her jaunty little jack
et was edged with longer ones, that
encased In the cunnlngest little slip
pers that looked like glass, but were
nothing but cleat crytal Ice,in reali
ty ; and they made a queer ltttle clack
as she danced about over the hard
wooden floor. ...
Jack was inclined to be afraid, at
first-tbfe expression of the Iktle
lady’s I<w was so sweet, that he
soon forgot his fear In admiration
and ttettfirht, as stre irared lrer beau
tiful glittering wand and laughed
gaily, making the faintest music, as
ihe did m>, tlsat ever was made. His
his low stool by the fire; and sud
denly she was before him ; and after
courtesying, she the tips pt
her dainty icy mlppere toßiok Into ß
his face, aDd said:
“I am a little snow-sprite, and if
you wish a wish, I will grant it to yoa l
Think what you wish the most, kind
little Jack.”
THE "DAILY TIMES
If “ButS'wljere *la the little beggar
|M?’VBk*d Jacjs, wonderingly.
"Oh, never you mind her, answer
ed the sprite, laughing merrily. “I'll
| take oare of her. You were very
i good, and did all you oould for her.
I'll wait just outside the door while
you are thinking— it is so warm in
here; and when you are ready, just
rap upon the hearth, and, be ft ever
so lightly, I shall hear yon and
come.”
It did not take Jack a moment to
tlugk what |n*lshed most; and It
was in hi* be kuww that his mother
wished most—and that was that his
father might come home again, alive
and well, and that the story of the
wreck of the Orient might prove to
be all untrue. So be tapped ever so
lightly on the hearth, and in a breath
the little snow-sprite was before him
again.
“I wish,” spoke he, eagerly, “that
my father may come back to us again,
aliTe and well.”
“And where is your father 1 ?” ques
tioned the small body.
“Alas!” answered the little boy,
sadly, “I suppose that he is at the
bottom of the sea.”
“I cannot raise the dead,” said she,
“and I VouMn’t If I could; but, nev.
ertheless, you shall see your father,
alive and well, before to-morrow
morning. And now you may wish
another wist); for this, although if
shall be granted, will not h jj
side the door again, and wheu you
are ready, just tap as before.”
And Jack was trying to think what
he slKWld fish, when the voice of his
mother aroused him, and be found
that !#liS(rWeen asleep with his head
still in her lap.
“Come, Jack,” said she, ‘‘we’ll have
our supper now.”
“But wait till the little sprite comes
“The little sprite?” said his moth
er; lifting him to his feet. “Why,,
n6w fairly
awake, “and I’ve had such a beauti
ful dream; and I know by the way I
feel tht it wifi prove a reality’? 1
Awl I AoldMi mot tier all it,
describing the little snow-sprite with
great enthusiasm. And his mother
smiled sadly, never speaking, for she
did not wish to crush her little boy’s
sawM aNttsu&Si
left in ter ow n breast that her hus
band wfluld eter return t them.
“Mother,” said Jack, “I’m going to
wait until father comes before I eat
my supper; and wori’t yeh‘pflease
wait, too? Oh, it will be so nice to
have supper together uguin!”
And he began to dance about the
room, he was so wild with joy. And
whenever the wind-mtltwfrttie outer
latch, or shook the door, as it wht-
AM' past down the Ape,, ta* would
si aj-t, and faotjr t hut" Ik* heard foot-
AtepST aTtntWkffiue tlflfrßdTneodl’lwas
surely coming in at the gate.
But after a while, as the excitement
of the dream wore a#ay, and he look
ed at nis mother bending so wearily
and sadly over her work, and the
clock was just on the stroke of nin.
he ceased to listen for footsteps with
out, and wondered how he could e
have given himself up so entirely to'
believe in a (im. The old
house cat purred (Ti Thly"and monot
onously on the hearth, and it was
very lonely and silent, and Jack grew
as sad as he had been joyful.
The doors were bolted for the night,
and Jack and his mother were pre
paring for bed. when the gate-latch
did indeed click, and there were foot
stei* upon the crisp snow without.
'Jack rushed wildly for the door, and
Jack’s mother trembled so that she
could hardly stand. She leaned
against the table and listened.
"Oh, father!” sang Jack’s dear
joyful voice, “I knew that you were
comlngl"
And into the room where she stood
stepped the sailor, and clasped his
wife in his arms, and it was certainly
father, alive and well, as Jack had
dreamed on his happy Christmas
Eve... He, with anqihen bjhve coin

Hans rislnr'a Prescription.
From the Virginia Enterprise.]
Hans Platzer, as is well known to
all of our■people, is a mau not easily
exerted. Hans generally takes things
coot. It is very seldoih that any sin
gle small mishap disturbs bis equan
imity. “Dare is already too much
bodaev in the vorlt; what for should
I allow a litUe ding to worry my
niin?” Is what,Hans generally Saks.
The other day, however, He was "□
another humor. Hans keeps a sa
loon, and had probably on this day
been visited by un unusual number
of thirsty but Impecunious persons—
otherwise wh are at a loss to account
for his dissolute behavior. A man
entered Hans’ place of business, and
resting his elbows on Hans’ hor, said
to Hans as follows: “I atn quite un
well—have been unwell for some time,
and am under the doctor’s care. The
doctor tells me that I must take a
stiff whiskey toddy about twice a
day, but I have no mouey; now could
not you let me have a couple of tod
dles twice a day? I wouldn’t ask it
but that the doctor has said I most
have it.” Ebbs, who had been rest
tag his elbows on his counter o|*bo
site his customer, begau to swell up
before be bad beard him half through.
When he had heard all, Hans seemed
almost too full for utterance. The
case seemed to him one to which it
would be hariTto do full justice. He.
therefore, two or three times strolled
up and down behind his bar, a dis
tance of six or eight feet, then sud-.
denly facing his customer, thus ex
ploded : “Why don't your doctor told
you dat you must take mine watch ?
Why don’t he told you dat you must
took dat overcoats hangin' dare on

he must took a mool fmulej? Why

of their losses in this respect,
-The Eufaula News says that on
Wednesday an old farmer of Barbour
county expressed the opinion that labor
would be scarce in his Immediate vicinity,

the feet that large numbers have recently
emigrated to Texas, Mississippi and Flor
ida. The News things this exodus will re
dound to the g<MxJ Of the county. It will
cause farmers to cultivate a less area of
land than they have heretofore done, and
wheu they do this, it naturally follows
that they will give their crops a more
thorough cultivation, and the yield will be
commensurate wflh those of the past
three years.
