AJOi , . THE Hl*l*Hl'rE. spoils Jbx It was t/hristmas Eve, ana little Jack sat by the cottage tire, with his head on his mother’s lap. for his father had been lost the last year came irf mm MW wnifetu bered how happy tSeyAnSlwaNSßiy one year ago that night, all three seated about the same bright hearth. They were very poor, though his mo ther had managed to keep the fire bright, and to feed and olothe hoc. sSife&Mres&Yas 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.” , I ".3ai#lW^i'sJKsWi'.*2 bays, without aa-y htxae. I wish they 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 j&rai 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.

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...

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 d# wall ? Why don’t he told you dat he must took a mool fmulej? Why don’t your doctor told you dat?
