I saw no mistletoe that night, I did not care a Hinder If every yule log in the land Were burned down to a cinder. The sun, the moon, the earth, the stars, The tender Christmas tidings Oh, what were these at such a time our love's sweet confidings! To-day three chubby, handsome boys Are romping in my airy. Their father was my college chum, Their mother was my Mary. Oily City Derrick. WAITING AND WINNING. BY HELEN' FOREST GRAVES. "It don't matter so much now, grandma," said Aileen, drying the tears that had dried on her cheeks like dew drops on a rose. Of course it is very silly for me to cry, but I couldn't help it just at first." "But what is the matter, my pet?" said old Mrs. Harrington, soothingly. She had found Aileen coiled up in the deep embrasure of the window, where the winter sunset was strained through in deep hues of crimson and amber, crying bitterly. The Harrington family were ambi tious people. They had come to Vir ginia and purchased, at a merely nom inal price, the fine old mansion that had once belonged to a luxurious planter long since dead. Mr. Harring ton, who had been contented to raise humble corn and pumpkins in the val ley of the Connecticut river, now de voted himself to the more aristocratic crop ot tobacco. Mrs. Harrington, who had been a notable Yankee housekeeper, hired two negro women to do thehousework. and cultivated society and the three Misses Harrington forgot the days o^ factory work and honest district school teaching in the gentilities of "Valley Lawn." The old lady alone remained true to her colors. "All this is very fine," said she, "but I don't see what is to be gained by it. Dan'l lose money, as true as you're born "Money isn't everything,grandma," said her daughter-in-law, tartly. "Hump!" said the old lady. And when Aileen, the orphan cousin, came down from the New England hills, grandma was the only one who really welcomed her. "There are three of us already," said Senna Harrington, grudgingly. "Why couldn't she havebeen a boy, so as to help pa with the plantation?" said Norma. "What do we want of any more girls?" sighed Juanita, whose baptis mal name had been Judith. "Ain't no use growlin' about it," said "Pa," who could not be made an elegant gentleman, let the family var nish and veneer as they pleased. "Here she is, and here she's got to stay. I don't want her no more'n you do but she ain't got no friend to go to, so what ye goin' to do about it?" Aileen was pretty, too, in her shy wild daisy way, with big blue-black eyes, reddish-brown hair, and a rich Titianesque complexion. The Misses Harrington were not pretty. This was another objection, although it was not generally discussed, and Aileen soon knew, by instinct, that the old grand mother was her only friend in all the big, dreary house. A third matter of offense cropped out on All Hallow E'en, when Aileen went out into the woods to gather hickory nuts to burn in the fireside blaze. Perhaps it was not her fault that Mr. Daller's vicious bull jumped through the tumble-down fence and frightened her nearly out of her wits and she was doubtless not personally responsible for the fact that Captain Dulany chanced to be passing, and rescued her from the big-horned enemy with pioud gallantry. "He was so very kind'" said Aileen, wistfully. "Do you think, grandma, that I ought to tell my aunt and the girls that he walks with me when I go to the post office? or that he gave me those beautiful deep-blue asters that they thought I found in the copse? or that it was he who discovered the big bunch of mistletoe in Greenough's woods?" "Well, not unless they ask you," said old Mrs. Harrington, shrugging her shoulders. For she had heard her three granddaughters discussing the Dulany question with some acrimony. "I'm the eldest," Selina had said, tartly, "and I ought to have the first chance. If any of us is to call with ma at Dulany Beeches, it shall be me!" "Yoia always were a selfish thing!" said Norma. "Captain Dulany's mother has a large library, and you know very well that I'm literary. "I'm the youngest, and I don't see why I should be poked into a cornei always," pouted Miss Juanita Judith. But Selina-, by strength of years and tongue had carried her point. J3o when New Year's Day approach ed, and Ailee&a timidly consulted Aunt Harrington as to what she should wear, that matron opened her large, light eyes with counterfeited amaze ment. "You child?" said she. "Why, you're not to come in at all! The girls don't want a whole drove in the parlor. Three women are quite enough. And you're so young, you know." "I'm seventeen aunt!" faltered Aileen. "Two or three years hence will do very well for you," said the relentless elder. Try and put such silly non sense out of your head!" And this was why Aileen was crying. %Q4ii-^ %S^i^ SMtNMsMfeliliiaia* Old Mrs. Harrington understood it all very well. She had been young once. She saw the folly of interfer ence in this particular case, however. "Dan'l's wife likes her own way," said she. "She ain't pleasant if she thinks any one is meddlin'. I'll tell you what, Alieenyou and I'll go out to the big chamber over the stun barn, and get Pomp to build us up a real good fire of pine logs in the old chimbly. There's a carpet loom there and a spinnin'-wheel and. allthefixin's and I'll show you how I used to spin flax when I was a girl and weave rag carpet." "Will you?" said Aileen, with bright ening eyes. "Oh, grandma, how very, very nice that will be! And can I roast chestnuts and apples in the ashes? and will you tell me about your sailor lover that was drowned before you ever saw my Grandfather Harring- ton?" "Yes," said the old lady"yes! We'll hev our New Year's by ourselves me and you child." So Aileen put away the pretty little blue merino gown that she had re trimmed for New Year's Day, and donned instead, the brown Merrimac calico that made her look like a robin redbreast and just about the time that her three cousins were quarreling for the possession of the biggest dress ing glass to "do" their hair, she and her grandmother were adjusting the ancient spinning wheel in the stone barn chamber, and piling^jwood in the cavernous recess of thSSauge fire place. They had a very pleasant New Year's Day after all, though the tears came to Aileen's blue eyes once or twice, when the carriage rolled by over the hard-frozen road towards the house. And at dusk she lighted the cheerful candles, and sat down to prepare grandma's supper, with fresh corn cakes, baked in the hot embers, ac cording to the receipt of Aunt Felicia, the colored cook, fragrant coffee and sweet apples, roasted, and eaten with cream. But Captain Dulany, riding his Morgan horse, Hotspur, through the pine woods, drew rein close by the old stone barn, whence he had not seen the red lights gleaming out for ten years. "What can it be?"' he asked himself. "We children used to play at ghost up there of autumn evening, when the Valdmir family lived there. Or per haps the careless servants have set something on fire." He jumped off his horse, flung the reins over a projecting pine bough and went in to see what the meaning of this unwonted illumination might be. The door stood wide openthe whole room was aglow with a warm, ruddy light, Grandma, enthroned in a big splint-chair before the blaze, was drinking her coffee, and Aileen sat spinning at the old wheel, with cheeks softly reddened and blue eyes spark linga very picture of health and beauty. Both started at the sudden appari tion of the captain on the threshold. "I beg your pardon!" said Captain Dulany, lifting his hat. "I saw the light shining out,andI was afraid that something had happened." "Something has happened," said Aileen, laughingly. "I have learned to spin. And grandma and I are having a picnic. Will you come in, Captain Dulany?" "Well, since your coffee smells so good, I think I will," said the gallant young officer. His cupwhich for lack of more ex pensive china happened to be a mug was scarcely poured out, before their numbers were augmented by Mr. Fer rars and young Dr. Fenchurd, who had seen the lights, and had also ob served "Hotspur" fastened to the fence. "May we venture to intrude?" said they, peeping over the stair-rail. "Oh, certainly!" eaidgrandma, smil ing. And Aileen distributed handleless cup and bountiful slices of golden brown corncake, yet steaming from the fire to her guests. "We are hardly prepared to enter tain so large a company," said she composedly but we can, at all events, give you a sincere welcome." Twothreehalf a dozen more dropped in. Old Pomp was summon ed to pour fresh pine cones on the blaze and bring more coffee and corn cake. He grinned from ear to ear. "Pow'ful like de good old times," said he to Aunt Felicia, when he re turned to his cabin. "De berry cream ob de gentry enjoyin' de corn-pones an' coffee like dey was our old marse's folks. Ain't nufiin like corn-pone for rale good flavor, dat dey ain't. An' the young lady from de Norf, she's as pretty as a peach. Reckon de capting finks so, too. He, he oe!" And old Pomp shook his sides with an inaudible chuckle of glee. Later in the evening the gentlemen went up to the house, where stood the three Misses Harrington in a simper ing row. But their call there was insipid, and several of them returned tothe"Stone Barn" to finish their evening. Adrian Dulany remained the latest of al' so late, in fact, that it was he who escorted grandmawho had dis creetly fallen asleep in her big chair some time agoand Aileen to the house under whispering pine-boughs, by the light of a big round moon. The three cousins whose list of calls had long since ended, were yawning in the parlor. "Dear me!" cried Selina, as thelittle group came in. "Where have you been all day, Aileen?" "In the old stone barn chamber, learning to spin," said Aileen laughing and coloring. Juanita looked sharply at her. What change had subtly crept over her voice and manner? Then she looked at Captain Adrian's bright face. "Take good care of her," said the young officer, tenderly removing the heavy shawl from Aileen's shoulder. "She has promised to be my wife, be fore a great many weeks." It was not until Dulany had gone that the full cannonade of questions burst on Aileen's devoted head. "Girls, girls! don't all speak at once," said grandma. "It's just exactly as 'te4 I've always told you. The right one will be sure to come along if you sit in the chimney corner and wait. And that was just what Aileen was doing this evening." And that night when the frost-white stars of midnight climbed the sky: "Good-by, sweet New Year's Day the happiest I have ever known!" A. Timely Word For Hearts. Tender "Amber" in the Chicago Journal. Take the mother-in-law. Is there nothing sacred left for man's venera tion? Has it come to pass that the divine love and the tireless zeal of motherhoods are withoat honor in this land? A nation guffawing over vilejests at a mother's expense! Dau papers, that should be the organs whereby honor and purity and probity are advanced, pandering to the tastes that selects a woman and a mother as the target ot its ridicule' No won der the entire social economy is out of order, and trickery and misrule sit in high places in a nation where rever ence and respect are out of date. Our grandmothers tell us, as one recalling the legends of a forgotten past, of a timewhen children were taught to rev erence the aged, when young men were chivalrous and old men were courtly gentlemen, yielding abeautiful deference to woman as her right, and to motherhood as the cor onation that made a woman Queen of Heaven. But what a change the present generation has wrought! Where is the eye that kindles when the laugh goes round at the expense of de fenseless woman, or the jest that crowns with dishonor the sacredness of the hoary head? Did you ever stop to think of all that is involved in the term "Mother?" A mother has re ceived from heaven heaven's purest gift a precious baby. She has brood ed over every moment of its infant life. She has stood next to God to its helplessness. She has nursed it through terrible illnesses. She has guided and controlled, prayed away temptation and interposed her own bosom between the shafts of sorrow and its tender heart. Her child has grown to womanhood, dear as hei own soul, as necessary to her life as sunshine is to the earth, when lo' up comes a dapper youth and beckons her girl away. When love leads, young feet will follow, and the mother heart is robbed of its treasure. Given ovet to the care of a stranger, the lamb for whom the mother's heart was the tender fold' I declare, when I think of it, I wonder there is a sane mother-in-law in the world1 What is a lionebs robbed other whelps, compared to the mother from whom the daughter is taken? As I write, the vision passes before me of the youth who shall one day come wooing my girl. I behold his smiles and blandish ments. I listen to his pleadings, and I am aware of a subtle change through all my being. Ferocity springs up where erst the pale blossom of peace shed its fragrance. A strange pugnac ity asserts itself in place of my uni form lamblikeness, and I feel an earn est desire to warn that young man to hide away. It will be safer for you 0 youth of the shadowy future, tc stay your hand from plucking the rose that sweetens my bit of garden. The world is wide and full of roses that glint and glowI pray you leave mine to me. But if indeed you do tarry to take from me the blossom of my heart, be tender of the mother you are rob bing, lenient with the faults that spring from a jealousy made sacred by the mother love that nourished it and al ways considerate of the heart that was the cradle of love that is only ap proached in its divine self-abnegation by the love of God to man. A Paris Execution. From the Paris Morning News. The president of the republic has de parted from his almost invariable rule of reprieving in the case of Koenig, alias "Le Mome," one of the two low young ruffians sentenced to death at the As sizes of the Seine on the 10th of Feb ruary for the murder of a dock labor er on the Champ de Mars. Forget,the principal accomplice, was reprieved. M. Diebler gave the signal that the guillotine was ready for its morning's victim, and the magistrates gathered on the Place de la Roquette went into the La Roquette prison. Koenig was found fast asleep in his cell. On being awakened and told his hour had come, he sat up in bed with a start, and, turning deathly pale, as his frame began trembling, he exclaim ed in a terrified voice: "But I tell you 1 did not commit the murder! To be guillotined at my age (the prisoner was not yet twenty) it is impossible! lam innocent!" The AbbeFaureapproach ed the condemmned man and exhort ed him to more firmness. Kcenis threw the blanket away from him and jumped out of bed, saying in tones ol despair: "Well, if I must go. But it is too awful,l tell you. I am innocent. In any case I do not care!" This said he began to cry, and as the Abbe men tioned the name of his mother to him he exclaimed: "Ah, yes, my mother, my poor mother. It is hard for her to see me come to this sad end. But she won't be there." The wretched man was then almost carried into the pinioning-room,where Diebler and his assistants cut off the collar of his shirt and pinioned him from head to foot, leaving his legs barely free to shuffle along. At 5:25 the procession issued from the prison gates. The appearance oi the murderer's features as he ap proached the fatal instrument was one of indescribable horror. "Oh, gentle- men," he whined, "I am innocent, yes innocent. I do not want to die. I will not die!'' He groaned as the foot o! the guillotine was reached, and pren ently his groans and whines changed to shrieks of horror as the execution er's assistants laid hands on bin to tilt him on the fatal plank. The emotion among the crowd grew to its height as Kcenig gave a yell and mad( a desperate effort to wriggle his head from the block. In a moment all was over, and the body of the wretched young murderer was conveyed direct to Gentilly Cemetery and there buried not being considered of any valut anatomically.
