THE HIDDEN WILL. When they told old Ethan Vanwirt that his days were numbered, the firsc thing he sxid was: “‘Send for Miss Work; I must see Miss Work before I die.” Singular as this demand seemed, no one thought of questioning it. Miss ‘Work was sent for. Laura turned quite white when the strange, imperative summons first came, and then she was told that he who sent was dying. “Whatcan he want! Shall you go, Laura!” asked Pauline Ruble, who was visiting her. “Oh, yes, yes, poorold man! I sm sorry for him. Certainly I will go." Pauline put her arm around the slight fgure, and drew the golden head down upon her shou'der. “Little tooi,” she thought, as she caressod the fair face with her slim, white hand. *‘Of course it is some thing about Lew's Vanwirt.” Aloud she erid insinuatingly: “I had better g« with you, dear, den't you thiok s 7 ““Oh, if you only will,” Laara crled eagerly. M:s Work was quite an invalid,and could not accompany her daughter, so she, also, was very glad to have Pau- line go with her. As the carriage drove off with tho two girls, she sauk back upor her couch with a thoughtfal look. “It must be sowmething about his graudson. I hope Laura won't be silly. ” The ladies were shown at once into Mr. Vanwirt's apartment. ‘I wish to see youalone, Laura, my child,” he said. S wait for you in the next room, darling,” Paultne volunteered prompt- ly ant departed. ““Mr. Lewis has come, sir,” the ser- vant said, as he was leaying the room, in obedience toan impatient gesture from his master, “Let him wait,” the old man said grimly. 1t was an easy thing for Pauline to step out upon the veranda withont attracting attention and passalongto the window of the sick room. “Iwantto know what he wancs of her,” she said to herself, “and Laura is such an obstinate l:ttle child some- times, as likely as not ¢he would not tell me.” ““I have sent for you Laura Work,” the dying man was saying, “‘to ask you if you love my grandson?”’ * My dear,” he said, “'T am dying, or I would not ask you such a ques tion. Lew is my eon’s only child. If Idie without a will, the whole Van wirt proparty will fall to him as the natural heir; but the boy has taken to bad courses lately, I am afraid. He gambles, Thaveheard. His fath- er did beiore him. The taint of it is in the Vanwirt blood. It came near being my ruin at his very age. Butl promised the woman I married that I would never touch a card agnin, if she would have me, and I neverdid.” Laura’s pale lips opened, but she would not utter a word. “Little focl!” thought Pauline. “‘Listen to me,” oli Ethan Van- i id, lifting himself upon his el- bow in bis excitement, “If you love Lewis, promise me thet before you to warry him, you will exact m the same pledge my wife id from me.

The will duly signed, witnessed and | sealed, he told the lawyer where to put it in his deek, which stood within his view. “Isit safehere?” Mr. Scribe asked. e «{Who wou'd touch it]" the sick man asked, irritably. ‘It would benefit ao one but Lewis, and the Vanwirts are not thieves, whatever ¢lse they bs. to now, plesse, andltell some one to send my grandson to me.” Pauline would liked to have stayed and witnessed this interview also, but she did not dare. Laura must be wondering greatiy now where she was. She found that Laura hsd come out of the sick room so agit:ted that Mes, Becket, the housekeeper, had made her lie down, and was now sitting with her. Pauline took the housekesper’s place beside her friend, and in a short time Laura fell asleeo. As Pauline sat there watching the white, childish face of the girl she pretended to love, hes brain was full of wicked and en- vious thoughts. Laura was already rich, she was poor, and yet to her who had already s0 much, the great Vanwirt property had just been given. She envied her 1he handsome lover, with whom she was herself more than half in love, and whom, hitherto, she had not been without hope of winning away from Laura. Suddenly, as she sat there, thedeep silence was bruken by the sound of some commotion in the house—she heard steps and excited voicee. ‘“What can it bel” she wondered. ‘Mr. Vanwirt wmust bs worse.” She sat listeniog some moments, then rose softly. Lauras was still sleeping. Pauline succeeded in open- ing the door, without disturbing her, and stole outinto the hall. From the landing she could see the servants below hurrying about with awe-struck looks. An impulse of ungovernable curi- osity seized her. She watched her chance, and, gliding down the stairs, skipped through the open door with- out being seen, and passed swiftly along ths veranda, till she came to the window where she had already spent so much time. One glance at the bed told her what had happened. Echan Vanwirt was dead! A sudden awe and horror seized her. She was about toflee the apot, when her eyes fell upon the desk in which she had seen the will placed. ‘I wonder if it is there yet," she thought. “I am sure I can reach it from here. I should know it ata glance,” she mused. She put her hand ia and raised thelid. There it was. A wicked thought crossed her. What if she took it. At that thought she snatched the will, and hiding it in the folds of her dress, she hurriedly retraced her steos. * * * * * * Ethan Vanwirt had heen dead about a month. His gracdson hed entered tnto posseasicn of his estate without kindrance. There were ru- mors about a wili; but when it could not be found Mr. Scribs concluded that the old man had destroyed it, and refused, when questioned, to tell who was named in it. Pauline Rub'e was still visiting Lsura Work, although, truth to teli, her welcima had grown somewhat cold both on Laura’s part and Mrs. Work's Laura was very unhappy. Lewis Vanwirt scarcely ever spoke to her, except in the most formal manner, though he came to the house as often as formerly. Apparently it was to ses Pauline now; and though thegen- tle girl strove to seel the same toward her false friend, she could not quite do so. There was another rejected suitor of Laura’s named Robert Lester, who about this time took advantage of the situation to renew his devotton to her. Lsura had nsver liked him, and liked him less than ever now. “I must bring matters to a crisis soon,” thought Pauline, one night, as she wresthed her brilliant face with smiles, and pretended not to have seen Mrs Work’s unusual cold man- ner to her. Presently, when Lewls Vanwirt called, she was watching for him, and drew him st once into the garden. “I want to tell y usomething.” she raid, in her goft voice; and besides Laura and her lover are so happy in there by themeelves it would be a pity to disturb them. ‘‘Has she consented to marry him atlast?” he asked bitterly. ““Oh, of c I told you she would. He a very moral yvang man, and dear Laura, is so very strict in her ideas. Lewis winked. “Mr. Vanwirt,” Pauline said, sud- denly; “do you know to whom your grendfather left his money, in that will that has never been found?” “Ido not know.” “T can tell you,” “Youl” Ha stared at her. “It gave everything to Laura Work."” 2! How do you know?” ud, Tdo know,” Pauline g Fer beautiful black eyes his in the moonlight.” “Morever, that will is in existence.” . He stared at her harder tham be- ore. “Tknow where it is.” “You do?” “Would you hike to see it?” slipping her hand int» her pocket. “T certainly should.” *“‘How would you like to ses Laura and Robert L.eter landing at the Vanwirt honae?’ Lewis ground his teeth with in- voluntary rage. This decided the false, bold eiil heside him. “Lewis Vanwirr,” sue eaid, “f that |w 1I, cou!d be pnt into your posses- sion to do what you like with it,would | ¥ou marry a woman who loves you { better than Laura Work ever could?” | “T worli" Teem ling with joy she drew our the folded paper, and put it into his hand. de held it vp in the mo | moment and then thrusting it inside of hia breast, turned suddecly and be- | han to go swiftly toward the house. | e could scurcely keep up with awful misgiving seized her. | g to do?” " he .nswered stern- ]y, i she read his determination in his cves. | “What a frol I was,” she muttered, | de one more ¢ffort, Lester won't thank you g them.” to i sht & tered the drawing-room through one of the open French windows. Laura sat there, with her mother. She had been crying. No one else was in the room. He laid the will upon her lap “1find,” he said hurrledly, and in a shaking voice, “that my grand- father left his money to you There ia the will that has been missing so long. T hope, Laura, that you will be a great deal happier than Mr. Lester than you have been with me. Bat he willnever love you any better than Ido.” “Laura detests Robert Lester,” cried Mrs. Work, taking in the situa- tion at once. ‘‘She has never cared for any one but you Lawis Vanwirt, and you ought to know it.” ““Oh! my darling!” ejaculated Lew- is, wildly; extending his arm, is it true?”’ In another instant Laura was sob- bing on his shoulder. Pauline went quietly to her own room, and spent the night in packing. When, the next morning she announc- ed her approaching departure, no one objected. THE AMER.CAN CHKISTMAS From the Boston Traveller. The old ‘‘Merrie Christmas” of England, with all its glad fan and wild revelry, takes on a different character when filrered thrcugh the Amerfcan mind. Retaining its mirth and glee, it takes on a more sub- stantial texture, so to speak. Through ail the gladness thrills a tender, sacred sadness that is yet not sorrow, but which just touches the day with holy memories. In England, where Christmas carols are sung from door to door, where the first sounds of the morning come in music as the children go about and sing God rest you a1, good gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay; For Jesus Ch-ist our Savicr Was born on Christmas day. the song becomes a part of the morn- ing, like the chiming of bells or the throngs of people on the street. But while the pretty carols are not a fea— ture of the Americau Christmas, the spirit of them is deeply and universal- ly felt. There is a utilitarian sido to our Christmas, too, but it is redeemed from thef materialistic by the in- sight of love, or of true, neighborly kindness. A gift has not less of sym- pathy because it may be of use, yet the thought, the remembrance, is far more than any intrinsic value. Phoe- be Cary, In her little poem of ““The Wife’s Christmas,” touchingly express- es this when the young wife only asked— A trifle of a flower to hold, Or ribbon for my hrir. But to be forgotten, Charlie, It is that whi h brings a tear, And just to think that I haven’t been Your w fe but a single year. The selection of Chistmas gifts isa matter so delicate, o compiex, so modified by invisible circumstances that it is a subject impossible to out- line, and yet there is an ever appli- cable rule, which is, after all, only a modification of the Golden Rule— thatit ehall in every sense gratify both receiver and giver, and that it shall not wound the most del cate feel- ings. The only real 1eaeon for off ering a Christmas gift is the spirit that prompts it. Unlees you have given your friend words and loving regard, more precious than all ountward tokens, you have no right to offer him & Christmas gift. This a gis especially the festival of the family, the house {and the church. and this manifold character may be opserved in gifts. The ideal Christmsas is to bave meade some one happy, and for this the means are as different as are the indi- viduals. The gift should be adapted to the circumstances of both the giver ard the recipient. To receive a cost- lv gift which one knows his friend could not afford, and which will en- tail on him many a sacrifics of needed comforts, is a source of pain only, and the more so that it is hardly of a na- ture to be expressed. A gift tha brincs with it a parpetual senss of obt ligation, is worse than valueless Again, luxurious presents which the. giver can afford, bat which the recip- ient cannot afford to have, are utter- ly out of taste and betrayan absence of thought rather than the delicate divination that should determine the offering. It may, at first, seem an anomaly that one cannot afford to merely possess an article of lux- but it ury, freely given, is none the less true. We all remember the ministers’s silk stockings, which absolutely compelled him to refurnish his wardrobs, which ae could illy afford: but being the gift of a wealthy parishioner, he dared not offend her by not using her gift, —the hose of those days being a prominent article of costume. And we all remember, too, the new parlor carpet of Chtistopher Crowfield,which altimately entsiled up n that genisl gentleman the entire refurnishing of his by way of preserving harmony in its appearance. To a young married coupls who are honzekeeping on a lim- ited but tasteful and comfortable ecale, the gift of a diamend pin or ring would be far less appropriata, becauss it afford far less pleasure, than would a gift of a set of books, of a fine pic- ture, or some rase and beantiful en gravings At the first reverse of for- tune, the diamords would be the first thing to fiud their way fto ‘‘uncle” in his n ysterious precincts of the three gilt balls, while books avd pictures are a joy foreverin the simplest of homes. Toa boy full of fun and frolic the gift of a pair of skates would doubtluss afford far more plessure than the gift of that splondid new illustrated vol ume of Longfellow’s poems. A gft need not, either, be purely ornament- al. Articles of use are quite as ap- propriate when mutual circumstances i ate them. We are accused of practical nation, and 1 Christmas partakes of this character. ~ While we baing rare flowers to the chancel and the aitar in church, while we wreathe our homes in Christwas greens, and even have our holiy and mistletoe bough; while we make gifis of rare and beautiful things from all parts of the world, we do not yet forge send the substantials of a Christmas dianer to those who wi: joi in one otberwise, nor forget the cheay toys that make glad the hearts of the peor and desol:te little ones of earth. The American Christmas iz a complex eubject after all; it has as msny phases as it has people who celebrate fit. From an observance of the church it ver, a8 he sirode on and en- | has come to be & national holiday, and i its influence tatoward the development otall that is highest and most unselfish in hamanity. Christmas offerings kave their re acttonary effect upon character. Like the quality of mercy, they are a blessing to him who gives and to him who takes The true spirit of Christ- mas is the culture of ali that is finest and sweetest, and highest in life. Far beyond any greatnees of achievement; beyond any flash of material suzcess, are thesilent sure graces of character which transform life, i'self, into one grand aud immortal success. And, ufter all, we can sing to but one un- erring rule for the Christmas joy—to make some one happy, some life glad der than it was before, for the sake of Him in whose name we celebrate Christmas.
