fhriatmas Ave it was a eood. old-
fashioned Christmas Eve in . New
England. The snow was lulling solt
ly but rapidly, and the short afternoon
was early darkened, by tne storm.
Overhead stretched a heavy canopy ot
steel gray cloud; underfoot the white
flakes had already fmreaa a ueep.
thick mantle over field and road and
hillside. Here and there, sole .land
marks, the gaunt tree stood up black
against the sky; nothing ele remained
to indicate the pathway, the fences
having almost disappeared under the
deep drift. .
til two figures appeared on the lonely
road. They were Miss Effe Lawrence

would tease Tom Allen, her old and
faithful admirer. Of course she liked
Tom better than any one else, and
aonttAuirir him. but ' Effie had
been read inn some foolish novels of

it would be very tame to marry I oni
and never have auother offer; aud so
when Mr. Talbot began to pay her
some attentions she smiled upon him,

and now she did not at all fancy the
Jirospect of a solitary walk of a mile iu

a sentimental rone:

"A difference, to be sure; but the
only thing that could really effect my
happiness, would be your smile."
Effie was annoyed at this foolish
speech. It had dawned ou her al
ready that perhaps Mr. Talbot thought
her a "green country girl," who would
be easy game, and she was resolved to
ehow herself Dot so readily to be hum
bugged as he might have supposed; so
without directly replying, she said:
"Mr. Talbot, we must really hurry. It
will be a dark night."
Bat he was not thus to bo silenced.
He came nearer to her and put his
hand on her shoulder.
"Effie," he said, 'don't let us pre
tend to not understand each other. I
love you, and I flatter myself that I
am aot indifferent to yoa."
There was something ia the ooneeit

a- . ...
i. hesc last words sounded very reso
lute certainly. He must have made a
mistake. Effie was wwer than ho
thought her and his time for the la.t
few days had been very evidently
asted.
Musing thus he walked on, and then
a sudden thought struck him. by
should he not go back to New i ork

if that was a failure he had much bet
ter go and spend his Christmas in tho
city.
V ith this thought he pulled out his
watch. He could just make out, iu
the dim light, that by hurrying hw
might catch the last express train. S
he made the best of his way to the ho
tel, gathered together hastily hi
effeeta, and rushed off, leartag th
landlord astare at the unaeeouatabh
suddenness of hts tuovetneat.
He was iust in time to ! reach the
traiu, and seareely half an hour after
he had parted from Mis Effie wan
whirling pa&t ner bouse on nis way to
new i ork.
Meantime, the young lady he had
left was plodding oa through the
storm: and her thoughts were aot very
pleasant companions.
i his man had insniica iter iuis
seemed very evident. There wan
nothing genuine iu his tone- He had
said no word of marriage. Did he
thiuk she was so weak as to tolerato
such impertinence? Oh! where wa
Tom Allen dear old Tom, who loved
her so dearly, and longed to snake her
his wife? Tears came into Effie s
willful eyes, and she was sorrytnough
for her foolish coquetry.
Absorbed in such reflections she
had gone oa some distance without
paying much attention to her way,
when a suddea turn in the road
brought her to a standstill.
8he looked about her with dismay;
she was on the wrong track. the must
have taken the wrong turn at the ever
greens, where she parted with Talbot.
Just there the two roads met, aud in
the excitement, bewildered Ly tho
storm, she had gone dowu the road
leading to the next town, instead of
the oue on which stood the house, the
home of her widowed mother.
What should the do? Go back? No;
that looked such a long and dreary
way; aud in an evil moment Kffi 3 de
cided to go across the fields.
With some difficulty she made her
way to the fence, cliuied over it, and
went plunging on over the trackless
snow. It was not much worse than iu
the road, but the storm was driving
right in her face now. She held on,
though, manfully, nothing daunted,
for some distance. But the night
grew rapidly darker, the cold increas
ed, and by the time she reached the
second field, Effie was fairly bewilder
ed. -
Still she tramped on, until she was
suddenly brought up by a high stoue
wall. It loomed up before her out ot
the darkness, black, with snow tutting
it here and there, aud a great snow
cap on its summit.
Now, for the first time, Effie was
disheattened. That showed she was
wrong in the direction she had taken.
It ran at right angles with the road
she had left; she ought not, therefore,
to have come to it. There was noth
ing for her but to follow it along, un
til site came to the next fence, which,
she knew must be the one on the road
leading to her house.
Tired, cold, breathless, she reached
it at last and began to climb it, The
snow was very deep now. It was hard
for her to hang on with her numb
hands,and somehow,when she reached
the top she slipped and fell. A sharp
pain shot through her ankle, which
was bent under her. She staggered to
her feet, but each motion was agony;
and after a few feeble steps she sank
down with a cry of pain. She had re
ceived a severe sprain, that waa evi
dent, and further progress unassisted
was out of the question.
As Effie realized this her courage
fairly gave way. Sh drew herself a
little back into the corner, wrapped
' her cloak over her, hid her face down
in her meff. sobbing bitterly. She
was well punished for her coquetry.
She had made Tom miserable; perhaps
lost him forever, and for what? Only '
to be insulted and deserted by that
conceited fop. His conduct had been
unmanly, first in insulting her as he
had done; next in leaving her, under
any circumstances to go home alone,
in the night and storm. Tom would
not have done so! No, no matter
what she might have said to him, he
would not have . left her thus... And
now there was no telling what might
happen to her. The road leading to
her cottage home waa very lonely
very little used. There waa scarcely
any chance of any one'a coming alona
lit to night: and how could she live
through all these hours of darkness :
and cold?"
She looked up despairingly. The
scene was by ao weans reassuring.
The night had come on with pitiless
cold. The frosty snow-light enabled
her to see down the deserted road. It
was completely trackless. The icy
flakes swept in her face, and the cold
wind sounded with mournful cadence
over the dreary fields and through
the leafless branches of the trees.
About an hour after Effie left Mr.
Grey.s, there caaie a ring at the door,
and Tom Allen came in the bright
est. pleasantest fellow in tho village, a
general favorite and Rose greeted
him cordially. All these youDg people
had known each other from childhood
and there were few secrets among
them.
"Why, Tom, how are you? What
brought you here on such a night as
this? I know you did not eome to
see me," said Rose with a gleeful
laugh.
"I I came," replied Tom, with a
sudden blush, "to walk home with
Effie. if she is here."
"With Effie Why, she left here an
hour ago."
"What alone?" -
"No with that Mr. Talbot, of
course."
"But he has gone to New York."
"To New York! Oh, no, you must
be mistaken. He couid not possibly
have walked to Mrs. Lawrence's and
back in time."
Tom Allen had grown pale while
the young lady spoke.
"Rose,'r he said, "are you sure of
what you say? Mr. Talbot has cer
tainly gone back to New York. I saw
Effie come in here early this afternoon
on my way to the Office. On my re
turn just now, 1 heard that Mr. Talbot
had rushed off to New York in a hur
ry; and I thought I would come on
the chance of finding Effie, and take
lier home."
"It is very strange " said Rose, it
was almost dark when they went away.
What time did Mr. Talbot start?"
"He took the six o'clock express.
"A nd they left just before five. I
asked Effie to stay all night, but she
refused."
Tom was already putting on his coat
"There is something strange in this,
he said. "Rose, I am going over to
Mrs. Lawrence's at once. That man
could not have left her alone in the
storm. Could she "
"Could she what?" asked Rose,
looking at him in alarm. 'Oh, loin,
you don't mean to think that she has
vone with him?
"I don't know what to think." he
answered. "I only know that I shall
tie wiet'hed until I find out what it
menns. I must co at once. Then in
answer to her appealing look, "Yes, 3
will let you know what I find out,"
and he hurried away from the house
Allen's ranid strides brought him in
spite of the storm, to Mrs. Lawrence's
a aaaaa 1
cottage in a wonderiuuy snort time
11 in summons at the door met with a
quick resionse, the lady opening it for
him herself.
"Ah. Tom. I am clad to see you.
Then teerinc out into the storm, "but
m hiri is Effie?"
'Kffi is not with me." replied Tom.
coming into the house and following
her into the cosy sitting room.
"That is very stranee." said Mrs
Lawrence. "Then I suDnose she will
stay at Grey's all night, but 1 did not
exrieet "
"She is not at the Gray's," Allen
answered.
And now, as Mrs. Lawrence looked
at hiin. she was stru.'.k with the strange
expression of his face. His worst
fears had been corroborated by not
finding Effie at home, and the anguish
of his heart could not but look out of
1 his eyes.
"What is it, lorn.'' asked Mrs.
Lawrence anxiously. "Wrherc is
Effie?"
"I do not know. Sho left Mr.
G rev's about 5 o'clock with Mr. Tal
bot" "And you did not pass them on the
road."
"No." Then with an effort: "Mr.
Talbot has returned to New York'
"You do not mean that you think
Effie went with him?" she said, very
slowly.
"Mrs. Lawrence, I do not know
what to think," groaned Allen. "Ef
fie is not here she is gone. Where
is she?"
"Not with him. Tom, not with
him! I'm sure of that," cried the
lady eagerly. "She has stopped at
some of the neighbors, or returned to
Gray's. No, Tom, it cannot be that
she would leave me so."
Then in a moment she said almost
wildly: "You must find her, Tom.
She cared for you; she did not like
hiin. There is some strange mystery?
but, oh! my darling girl would not
desert us so cruelly.
Allen was half convinced by her
energy.
"I will do my best to find out about
it at once." he said. "If she is in the
neighborhood I will discover her; if
she has really gone with him, some
one must know it."
Then followed a brief and earnest
consultation, Mrs. Lawrence suggest
ing such places as Effie might possi
bly have gone to, and then once more
Tom went on his way, this time armed
with a lantern.
Out into the night again, the red
glow of the lantern casting strange
gleams across the snow and lighting
up the flakes for a moment, as they
passed serosa its radiance.
He had plunged on with a fiery eag
erness for some half a mile, when a
faint sound caught his ear, like the
distant echo of hia own name:
"Tom! Tom!"
He paused a moment. ' Waa it a
fancy? - No, it came again muffled,
but louder:
- "Tom! Tom! Tom! Help mel help
me, Tom."
He knew the voice now, aad cried
out, his heart bounding with eager
delight:
"Where are you, Effie? Effie, my
darling!" -
"Here, Tom, under the snow." "
He was by her side, presently, and
bending down over the drift that con
tained the little form he loved so
dearly. - -
She was all covered with snow, so
-i completely that he would never have
i i . i . ,
seen ner, even in tne aayume.
"O. Tom! Thank God yon have
eome! I saw yon after yon had gone
by, bat could aot make you hear. - 1
have been watching for you ever
since." - . i
"My dear little girl."
"Yes, Tom," and her arms were
around his seek mw, "I love yen so
much, and yom will forgive me for

"Of course 1 will, dear, tint bow

And so, presently, he set off, bear
ing his recovered pet in his arms,
Effie carrying the lantern.
It was slow work, traveling thus.

the cottage at last; and then what a
reioicing there was. and what a merry

POOR HUMANITY.
The I'weaapley e - A Brief Kererewee

Vafortaaate.
We have not been careless observers
of the large number of unemployed
men seeu dailv in our streets, and felt
, . , .-. - ti-. u
a desire to obtain an insight into the
methods of their living and the extent
anil nature oi tueir suuermga. iu
seeking this information we called to
our aid one of these unfortunates
. n . 1 XT I . I
whom we personally know to be not
a vacrant. but simply a child of mis
fortune, and we take this occasion to
say that we believe him to be a young
gentleman of personal integrity and
an active and competent uusiness man
We say this in the hope that it may
lead to his enjoyment The story of
misfortune, in times like these is soon
luue, i il iiuiea liac mcrec rwii
Out of employment, our friend ;
told
soon found himself out of money and
thus escape from the helpless condi
tion into which he has fallen was im
possible. Quiek to observe and faith
ful to relate the scenes that come un
der his own eyes, his statements may
be relied upon as being strictly true.
We give them in his own words:
WHO THEY ARE.
All classes from the college bred
gentleman to the lowest sneak thief
and professional vagrant gathered
together from every quarter, are em
braced in the category, and it is a fair
estimate to Bay that they number not
less than 3,000. Their habits are ie
euliar and their affinities instructive,
while their experience is most varied,
generally most pitiable, yet not with
ovt its comicalities, which latter are
appreciated by none better than them
selves. Of the mode of life of those
who do not care to do aught else, it is
needless to speak, for it is the same
old oft-told story; but for the benefit
of those readers of the Times who
have never felt the slings and arrows
ol nn outrageous fortune, we have
collected a few facts and incidents of
interest, and which carry with them a
most pointed lesson.
The better clans ot the unemployed
are generally clerks, salesmen and
artisans, physically unfitted for
manual labor, and are for the most
part unmarried. Generally each one
has his "partner." Sometimes an old
friend, but more frequently a casual
friend, fellow-sufferer. Their alliance
extends only to present emergencies.
The past is a forbidden subject, and
not unfrequcntly neither knows the
name of the other, j-et so far as it does
extend, their friendship is Damon and
Pythias personified.
HOW THEY PASS THE TIME.
Starting early in the morning, they
set out on a walk, sometimes together,
but more frequently alone, leaving an
appointed try sting place. The morning
is speut in looking for work, getting
their lunch, and culling the news and
experiences of their fellows, and in
this latter they are most zealous.
"Hello, what luck? Got a bed?" is
the first inquiry. And the response
is an ominous shake of the head, a
dull "no," or ; a don't-you-wish-you-were-me
sort of "yes." Next the
query, "got any tobacco?" the answer
"no; just begged from that fellow."
Then the anxious ones of "how much
has he got?" and "do you think he
will stand another chew?" and by the
reply the interrogator is governed.
These walks extend to all parts of the
cily, and it is seldom that any consid
erable time is consumed in one 'place.
In the afternoon they can be found
together in some retired place, or in
the parks, comparing notes or laying
plans for the night, and at these meet

When night comes a council is held
and the important question of where
to sleep is determined. If there has
been any luek a bed is at once secured
in some cheap lodginghouse; if not,
the entire list ia canvassed for some
one who is supposed to have charity
enough to give credit, and two or three
places are selected for trial, each party
taking his turn in soliciting the favor.
Then if these fail and one partner is .
unwell an effort is made to pawn his
coat and vest for the desired bed and
he quietly turns in, while upon his
partner devolves the duty of raising
the shekels to redeem them next day
The lucky sleeper lying in bed in
the meantime. All else failing as the
evening wears on the effort is aban
doned and it is resolved to remain up
all night, or as it is termed "Carry the
banner." The first half of the night

stores and on the street corners, but j

or in sitting very quietly in some dark '
spot away from the gaze of the peelers ,
of whom they are in mortal dread.
When the markets open they are
promptly on hand examining most'
critically all the e tails, and gazing
most wistfully at the coffee stands
speculating upon the amiability and
good nature of the proprietors, and at
last vainly representing their pressing
need of the nareotie.
Sometimes they will be the ' recip
ients of a bountiful - charity in ways
most unexpected, as; for example,

How they sleep is a hard question
to answer. At night when they can
find a friendly chair they will dose for
an hour or two, taking turns in watch
ing any signs of danger, and guarding
most faithfully the hat of the sleeper;
yet even this precaution fails some
times and the sleeper awakes to find
his hat gone and no money to get
another. The future is a fruitful and

j It is not unlikely that the results of
the movement now making against the
evils of the liquor traffic will mark a
"'new era in moral and social reform.
The spirit of the movement would
seem to go to the very bottom of the
whole question of making, vending
and drinking distilled and fermented
liquors as a beverage. The status of
the traffic, iu its social, moral, criini
, nal and economic aspects, as well also
as its bearing uon revenue and tax
ation, is involved in the issue. It is
not only a question as to the extent of
the right and duty of society to cm
ploy moral and persuasive means in
defense of itself against the curse of
drink, but also a question as to the
State's right and duty to exercise its
police and legil power to the same
end. Shall the States of this Union
go on, as some of them already have,
taxing the industries of the people to
build and sustain asylums for inebri
ates, and do nothing to put away the
eause that creates- the necessity for
their existence? If a man openly and
Eublicly engages in, and pursues a
usiness of selling to his neighbor a
kind of drink, the tendency and effect
of which is to deprive that neighbor
of the power of intelligent self con
trol and rational disposition and
management of property, so that it be
comes the duty ot the btate, out ot
charity for him and his family to place
his property and even his person un
der guardianship, as Ohio now does,
I is it not also the duty of the State to
' insist that such a business shall either
' be wholly discontinued, or in some
' way rendered harmless? Is it right
for the general government to hold
out a conditional toleration to the
business of selling intoxicating liquors
by granting what is called a ''govern
ment license?" Has not the national
government, in consequence of its
need for great revenues to meet the
' expenses of tho late war. allowed it
self to be betrayed into a false and
unjustifiable position on this subject?
Possibly it will see its way to a better
r policy in reference to this matter of
revenue on liquors, when the Senate
Liquor Commission, authorized by
that body the other day, shall report
the results of hs "investigation into
the alcoholic and fermented liquor
traffic and manufacture, having special
! reference to revenue and taxation,
' distinguishing as far as possible in
the conclusions they arrive at between
' the effects produced by the use ot
distilled or spirituous, as distinguished
from the use of fermented or malt
liquors, in connection with pauperism
' crime, vice, the public health, and the
4 general welfare of the people." Docs
' the property of the country, in eonse
aueuce of the liquor traffic, have to
go
it?
If we mistake
not, some of these
questions will le answered, at least in
part, by the woman's movement."

: By casuistry in its relation to jour
nalism, 1 understand the rules by
which honorable men guide them-,
selves, consciously or unconsciously,
in writing for newspapers the rules, "
that is, by wh:ch they determine what
they shall write, aud in what journaUi,
they thall write it. This is not a com
plete definition of the subject, because
it on!y applies to contributors to
newspapers, whereas the rules which
govern the relations of editors and
proprietors, whethvr to each other or
to the public, equally belong to the
casuistry of journalism. But it de
fines with sufficient accuracy the par
ticular part of the subject of which
it is here proposed to treat. Journal
ism is more and more taken up as a
profession by educated men, and those
who regularly practice it are only the .
nucleus of a still large army of auxil
iaries. Consequently the casuistry of
the subject, the rules, that is, which
govern the application of general prin
ciples to the particular cases which
arise in the actual experience of jour
nalists, will have a practical interest
for a considerable number of persons.
It ought, moreover, to have an indi
rect interest for a much larger num
ber. Probably there is no profession
about which there arc so many hazy
notions afloat as journalism. Al
though public opinion on whole class
es of subjects, and those very impor
tant subjects, is mainly formed by the
newspapers, little or nothing is known
ol the moral canons by which jour
nalists are or profess to be guided.
Must fairlv intelligent laymen know
something of the theory by which an ,
advocate justifies his readiness to un
dertake the defence of every cause, or
a doctor his reluaai to tell a patient.
the truth about his condition. But
the crudest fancies about newspaper
writers are coustantly to be met with.
1 have heard a very well-informed wo
man maintain the theory that SP jour
nalist has as much right to defend a
cause in which he does not believe as
a barister has to defend a prisouer
whote innocence he suspected; and
the whole shoal of commonplaces
about writing to order show that the
notiou is far fruu being an uncom
mon one. - If to hold this low opinion '
of newspaper writers led to greater
independce of thought on the part ot
newspaper readers, the community
might perhaps gain by the unmerited
disgrace of a particular class. But
the influence of newspapers is not
lessened by the fact that journalism is
often regarded as a profession excep
tionally exempt from professional re
"
stramts. The public clings to its
guides none the less blindly because
it so often proclaims its want of be
lief in their honesty. The casuistry
of journalism, as regards contribu
tors, may be summed up in three gen
eral rules. First, a journalist should
write nothing which he does not be
lieve to be true; secondly, he should
write only in journals of whose gener
al character he approves; thirdly, he
should agree with the journal to which
he contributes upon the class of sub
jects on which he writes. The first of
these rules is happily not very difficult
to carry out in practice. There arc
newspapers no doubt in which the
writer of a leading article is at times
little more than the channel through
which the ideas of the editor are eon-.
veyed to the reader. A closely writ
ten sheet of note paper constitutes his
brief, and all he has to do is to put
the contents into the most telling sen
tences he can devise. But even here
the rule, it may be hoped, is oaJy Imlf
broken. If the journalist in question
does not write what ho believes to be
true, it docs not follow that he writes
what he believes to bo false.. More
often he writes that of which he does
not know whether it is the one or the
other. If he is worth retaining oa the
staff of any important journal, he u
not likely to remain long ia this state
ot ignorance, and in most eases in
creasing knowledge will biiaat with it
stronger conviction. , There are in
stances, no doubt, of me a of real po
litical ability who remain to the mere
hired swordsmen of their employer
for the time being. But the race is
dying out, partly from the growth of
a higher conception of professional
morality, and partly from a corres
ponding change in the requirements
of newspaper readers. As a rule, it
may be said that no established jour
nalist is now asked ur exjeeted to say
in the person of the editor that which
he would not say ia his own person.
The staff of a newspaper is usually
large enough to provide genuine re
presentatives of all the views set fort h
in it, and the advantage of having the
will of the writer with him as well as
his pen is obviout enough to strike
even the least scrupulous editor. It
may be thought perhaps that a strict
observance of this' first rale makes
both the others unnecessary. If a -can
writes nothing but what he believes
to be true, why should it matter where
he writes it? Aa editor is pvwiierry'.
held responsible for. everything that
appears in his paper, inasmuch as
nothing can appear in it without his
consent. But a contributor has no
control over any but his own articles,
and there can be no need to make his
responsibility more than eo-ezteasive '
without bis control. There is a plau
sible air about this reasoning, but the
instincts of journalists are against it;
and where men's instincts point in sn
opposite direction to their interests,
they are usually safe guides. It is
generally felt ; that a liberal writer
ought not to contribute to a eonserva-'
tive paper, or a conservative witer to
a liberal paper, even though his arti -cles
deal exclusively with subjects on
which he and the conductors of the
papers are at one. It will be shown
immediately that this principle is sub
ject to several qi-ahfications; bwt, with
proper allowance for these, it is a
thoroughly sound principle. By con
tributing to a journal, a Baaa does hia .
best to help its circulation. How
ever low an estimate he may form oi
his own work, he must know that the
editor thinks it worth paying for. li
will often nappes, indeed, thai the
withdrawal of a partiemlar writer from
the staff of a journal makes mo diSer
ence whatever to its amccesxM Oa the
other hand, this sneosea li wilimi
very largely do to the work deM by
a single contributor; as the phrase
commonly goes the paper was made
by so-and-so. For the most part, the
popularity of a newspaper it tha pro-;
duct of many different elemeats, and
it i impossible to assign to say ou of,
them its precise value.: There is no
escape, therefor?, for any regular con
tributor to a journal from a hart in
the responsibility of its circulation.
A paper ia bought and read because it
what it i, and every contributor
has a sh.irf in making it what it is.
On the other hand, there is so much
different of opinion now-a-days on
every iuipt-rU ut subject, that if abso
lute identity of views were to be de
manded from the staff of a newspaper,
jourualu-ni must come to an end, or at
all events hare to be abandoned to
men untrannueled bv any principle
