THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
(From the Latin of The Abbe Gaume.)
BY JOSEPH P. PBENDKBGA8T.
There ran a little child alone
Thro' all the crowded city,
And there was none to hear hia moan
Or grant him love or pity.
And all that holy Christmas night
His eyes with tears were streaming,
And oft he paused—where golden light
From lampful trees was gleaming.
And thus he spoke and wept—“Ah me,
'Tis sad to be so lonely,
With light and tree, each child to see,
And be without them only.
Time was, when I did also ait,
My brother’s hand in mine,
When lights for me wore also lit,
And Christmas trees did shine.
Ah! is the poor child quite forgot ?
Will no one let me in ?
And is there not for me a spot,
Those houses great -within ?
I will not ask for fruit or'flower
From that fair Christmas tree,
To see it in its foreign bower
la joy enough enough for me.”
He knocked again from door to door,
On window and on shutter,
But no one heard his moaning soar,
Or bid the young child enter.
Each father’s thoughts were foqdly bent
Hia little ones to bless,
Each mother’s on her gilts intent—
On nothing more or less.
“Oh dear and holy Christ behold,
I am forgotten quite, .7-
And wond’ring in the frost and cold
Must surely die to-night.
I have no father and no mother,
If thou will not be mine,
Oh, be my counsellor and brother,
And fold my hand in thine1’’
He crouched, poor child, in garment thin,
He rubbed his fingers numb;
And still he watched the lights within
In hopes a guide might come.
And lo! an undulating light,
A child is in the street—
With garment flowing fair and white
And voice how low and sweet 1
“I am tho Christ, and once a child,
I was like thee in year3,
And now I come, poor mourner mild,
To bid thee dry thy tears.
For tho’ all others thee forsake;
Forsaken not by me;
And lo, behold, for thee I’ll make
A glorious Christmas tree.”
The Christ child pointed to the sky.
And there a tree of light,
Bedropping stars, and spreading high
And wide its branches bright.
low felt the little child so dear,
’Twas like a dream to him,
That light so distant, yet so near,
Made all the rest look dim.
le knew he saw his Christ tree there
In light and beauty beaming,
Vith little angels good and fair
Amid its boughs were gleaming.
Lnd from those lightful branches bending,
j Ere yet their thoughts he knew,
Bp to their brow of bliss ascending
j The little child they drew.
nd now his home is in that bright spot,
| With “the Christ*’ he takes his rest;
[11 the woes that tried him here, forgot
»In the peace that fills hia breast.

ADVERTISING.
Most persons have probably been
greatly astonished on reading an item
■which has been going the rounds of
the press. It is stated that there are in
dividuals in the larger cities of Europe
and in N ew York whose only occupa
tion is the writing of advertisements.
The business, it ivas also' said, is quite
a lucrative one, as much as one hun
dred dollars being sometimes paid for
a single advertisement. These facts
will, no doubt, seem strange to those
who have never reflected upon the
subject, and who naturally suppose
that it requires very little sense, taste
or knowledge of human nature to pen
an advertisement. But such persons
commit a vast mistake. Any man may,
of course, make, the public aware of
his business, and set forth his claims
to public patronage, but these hum
drum advertisements are as a general,
rule listlessly scanned and soon for
gotten. The art of advertising ^con
sists in attracting and fixing public
attention and impressing .the--mind of
the reader with an idea of the adver
tiser’s energy or cleverness. To do^
this effectually requires a considerable
amount of ingenuity *and a pretty
shrewd acquaintance with the world.
Men are credulous and are very apt to
believe much of what may be persist
ently told them. They are a3 much
attracted by novelty in a business
card as they are by a display of it in
other matters. They become familiar
ized Avitli subjects chiefly by a repeti
tion of the same matter in . various
forms. Almost every one in the land
knows who Mr. Bonner is. The name
of Mr. Heliiibold is almost equally well
known. The journal of the one and
the medical preparation of the other
have brought them princely, fortunes.
But nobody believes that the intrinsic
merits of the Ledger or the extract of
Bucbu would have sufficed of them
selves to bring the individuals men
tioned more than a moderate compe
tency. But when the fact is dinned
into the ears of the world that a valu
able commodity is to be had at a cer
tain place, the curosity of a vast num-
ber of people will induce them to in
quire about iti- In Baltimore there is
less manifestation of-energy and liber
ality in the .matter of advertising than
in any other city of half its size. Hun
dreds of individuals-are content to an
nounce their occupation and place of
business, and expect the < whole com
munity to notice and remember the
fact. In Loudon the oldest and w^flj.-
thiest houses always keep two or three
advertisements in each of the leading
journals, and even the proprietor of a
comic song will spend more in adver
tising it for a week th^r , ma^iy mer
cantile firms spend hererih six months.
As a general rule,: those who ate now
doing here a brisk business have them
selves made their business brisk by
continually forcing it' and themselves
upon public notice.—Baltimore Paper.

The New Albany [lnd.] Commer
cial of the 16th has some additional
details of the recent scenes in the
Floyd County jail when four prisoners
were seized and hung by a mob.
Simeon Beno was killed with two
licks from a slung shot before. he was
hanged. Anderson’s face was placid
as though he had gently passed into
death -without pain, and yet he died
harder and was longer passing through
the dread ordeal than either of the
other prisoners. Tfis struggles for
life, we axe told by one of the prison
ers in the jail who witnessed them,
were terrific. "When cut doAvn his
toes were touching the cold stone floor
beneath him.
MRS. AND MISS REMO AND MRS. ANDERSON.
Frank Beno and Charles Anderson
were married. After the bodies had
been laid out upon the floor in the jail
hall the wives of these two men, and
Miss Beno, the sister of the three
brothers, were permitted to enter the
hall and to take their last look at those
who, although covered Avith crime,
were, in their lives, all the world to
them. Ah! what a scene was there!
Avhat grief and anguish P what unutter
able woe! The three women entered
paler by far than the dead bodies
stretched out so stark and ghastly
upon the prison floor. First came
from these despairing women such
piercing shrieks as love only can utter
when it feels that all it lived for is lost
forever. Then tears, like rain burst
ing from overflown fountains, and
moans so toifehing in their plaintive-
ness and utter despair, that not even
the most stolid could keep from weep
ing.
a sister’s oath for vengeance.
The outburst of grief ended, the
quiet of despair settled upon the faces
of the women. But not long did one
of them remain tinder the burden.
The sister of the three Beno brothers
—an intelligent and handsome young
lady—dried her eyes Avith her hand
kerchief, then taking the grief-stained
piece of linen, she .placed it over the
face of her brother William—who to
the last declared his innocence—then
she kneeled beside the dead man, and
laid her left hand over his heart, and
raising her right one- toward Heaven,
she took this terrible oath : “ Oh, my
poor murdered brother, may God
curse your sister if she avenge not
your death, terribly and fully! This
Avill I do, so help me God J”. What a
tragic scene was this. The dark, strong
wails on all sides, and the cold stone
floor beneath her knees. The sable
garments of the bereft sister, the pale
face turned upward, and the white
hand pointing heavenward. What a
tableau of death, despair, love aud re
venge.
the prisoners in the jail.
The prisoners in the county jail,
during the time the mob remained in
side accomplishing their work of death,
were almost paralyzed with fear. One
of them informed us on Saturday that
supposing he was to be hanged with
the others, he fell upon his knees and
prayed God’s forgiveness. “ O,” said
he, “you cannot imagine the terrors
of the scene. I prayed with such earn
estness as no man ever before.” We
asked another how he felt ? He re
plied “ I thought my time had come,
and prayed God with all my soul to
forgive my sins. I ever I get out of
here I will lead a new life, for I have
seen the aAvful end that Avickedness
will bring a man to.” Another said
he crept under his bed, and there
prayed that God would spare him long
enough to give him an opportunity for
repentance and reformation. The mob
did not speak to or in any manner
disturb any of the prisoners except
the Eenos and Anderson. After they
had got through their work some one
of them proposed to hang all the mur
derers in in the jail. The leader of
the Vigilants replied to this, “ -We’ve
nothing to do with them. We have
done what we came to do, and we
most now leave.”
THE LEADER OF THE MOB.
The leading spirit in the mob was a
large, portly man, well dressed, and of
commanding personal appearance. In
the murky light, as he moved through
the cell-rooms, issuing orders, point
ing out positions, and adjusting ropes
around the necks of the victims, a bril
liant diamond ring gave forth its
flashes of light. This was noticed by
several persons in the jail, as well as
by prison guards who had been cap
tured and placed in the sheriff’s room.
Who knows but that diamond ring may
jyet cost the wearer trouble? Who
can say tfiat it may not lead to the
detection of many of the men en
gaged in the terrible work of Satur
day morning ?
MASONRY SAVES THE SHERIFF'S LIFE.
After the mob had accomplished
their work in the jail they returned to
the sheriffs office, where Sheriff Ful-
lenlove was sitting, quite faint from
the pain and loss of blood caused by
the pistol-ball he had received in his
arm from one of the Vigilants while
trying to give the alarm. A guard
had been left in the room Avith him,
Mr. Perrette, and others. Of this
guard five or six were MasonB. They
gave the sheriff the hailing sign, but
he refused to recognize it. Mr. Per
rette, however, recognized the sign,
and answered it. He vouched to the
men giving it that' Fullenlove was a
Mason. The mob from, the jail were
just then coming in, and'two or three
of them drew their pistols, crying out,
“ Shoot the. sheriff; he knows too
Imuch.” The Masons who were in.ilie
room, however, covered the sheriff and
ordered back the mob, thus saving Mr.
[Fullenlove’s life. Had it not been for
these Masons he would undoubtedly
,ve been murdered.

Among the victims of the recent
heart-rending and terrible calamity on
the Ohio, were Mrs. Commodore
Thomson,a young married lady of New I Stupid ScHo:
Orleans, on her way back to the Cres- J
ent City, and a companion named Mrs.
Griffin, who had resided in the same
place. The day following the awful
night of the accident the bodies of
both these ladies were found, as itwas
thought, and taken charge of by grief-
stricken friends for interment. They
were placed in the Episcopal Church
at Madison, Indiana, not far from the
scene of the wreck, and the ladies of.
the parish very kindly rendered the
remains every proper attention, and
prepared them for the grave. Their
funerals took place in Christ’s Church,
Rev. James Runcel, D. D.. officiating.
The graves were prepared, and the in
teresting funeral services had pro
gressed nigh to an end, when a mes
sage wa3 received from Commodore
Thomson, directing that the bodies of
his Avife and Mrs. Griffin be forwarded
to Philadelphia for interment there.
At the same moment Mr. Wolff, cousin
of Miss Fahnestock, who was also lost
in th3 disaster, appeared in the church
and laid claim to the supposed body of
Mrs. Thomson as that of his unfortu
nate relative. The friends of Mrs.
Thomson insisted that the charred
corpse belonged to her, and in order
to prove that they were not mistaken
produced evidence to show that their
deceased friend OAvned and wore, a
plain gold ring on her finger Avith the
name “ Grace” engraved inside, and
it Avas by this ornament that they had
succeeded in identifying the body. Mr.
Wolff was suprised at the announce
ment, as it was on just such a ring of
that identical shape and bearing the
very same simple legend “Grace,” that
he depended on making good' his
claims to the corpse as that of Miss
Fahnestock. He had positive knowl
edge of her owning and wearing such
a ring in life, and was doubly assured
of the fact by telegrams from Pitts
burg, asserting that while here, just a
few days bpfore her terrible death, the
young lady had on her finger such a
ring. Here was a dilemma. The friends
of Mrs. Thomson were equally posi
tive Avith those of Miss Fahnestock,
that the ring found on the corpse had
been Avorn by her and beyond doubt
fixed identification. After a calm, dis
cussion the friends determined to for-
Avard the body to Philadelphia and
there endeavor to solve the mystery.
The two lost ladies were about the
same size and as the clothing had all
been burned qway and the features
horribly mutilated, the confusion
arising from the remarkable coinci
dence of both haAFing rings on their
fingers of exactly the same kind and
bearing the same legend, was quite
natural, and, of course, sorely dis
tressed the respective friends. The
corpse arrived in Philadelphia, and
the question of identification still re
mained unsettled. As a last resort,
several gentlemen of the medical pro
fession were called to bring science to
solve the perplexing problem. A post
mortem examination revealed the feet
that the disfigured body was not that
of a married lady, and the friends of
Mrs. Thomson willingly acquiesced in
the decision, and the corpse was sur
rendered for burial to the relatives of
Miss Fahnestock. The coincidence of
the rings was very remarkable, and

No, sir ; it’s Mousey.
Reynard.—Ha! Mousey is it ? Come

(Thereupon poor Mousey, who can
not help squeaking, is beaten, chained,
and stood in her comer. Next Cilly
Goose is locked up in the narrow coop
for screaming.)
Miss Rat (softly).—That Avas very
wrong in Mousey and Cilly Goose, I’m
sure.
Reynard.—You are quite right, my

that little Duck should return at once

Concerning General Grant’s Inten

him :
“ Sir, what do you propose to do
about returning to a specie basis ?”
To which he made no audible reply.
Then I said :
“ Sir, do you mean to stop the whis
key frauds, or do you mean to connive
at them ?” To which he replied as be
fore. I now said :
“ Sir, do you propose to extermi
nate the Indians suddenly with soap
and education, or doom them to the
eternal annoyance of warfare, relieved
only 6y periodical pleasantries of-glass
beads and perishable treaties ?” No
response.
“ Sir, have you got your Cabinet all
set ? What are you going to do with
those Blairs ?”
“ Let. us have peace!’
“ Sir, am I to have Nasby’s post

“ Go to the—mischief! I have a

Office of Upolpho Wolfe,
Sole Importer of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
22 Beavek Street,
New Nork/Nov. 3, 1868.
To ttie People of the Southern States.
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thou
sand leadingmembera of the medical profession some
20 years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it
cobid not wholly escape the penalty attached to all ]
new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeav
ored to invest it with strongest possible safeguards
against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to
pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to
distinguished cheminsts for analysis, and pronounced
by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu
rity and properties having been thus ascertained, sam
ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians, including all the leading practitioners in
the United States, for purposes of ixperimen. A
circular, requesting a trial of the preparation, and are-
port of the result, accompanied each specimen!. Four
thousand of the most eminent medical men in the
Union.promptly responded. Their opinions of the
article were unanimously favorable. Such
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profes
sion, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary
liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less
adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes.
The peculiar excelence and strength of the oil of juni
per, which formed oneof the principle ingredients of
the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of
the alcoholic element, give it, in The estimation of the
faculty, a marked superiority over every other
diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank were published in a con
densed form, and enclosed with eaclx.bottle of the
Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine
ness. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; a patantwas obtained for the article, the
lable was copywrighted, a fac simile of the proprietor’s
autograph signature was attached to each lable and
cover, bis name and jhat of the preparation were erfl-
bosaed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with'
his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this
country under the name of Schnapps prior to the in
troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
in 1851; and the lable was deposited, as his trade mark,
in the United States District Coart for the Southern
District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have
precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits.
They seem, however, only to have stimulated the
rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprie
tor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medi
cal profession has been claimed by mendacious hum-
bags; his labels and bottles have been imitated, bis ad
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing
of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them
up with' common gin, the most deleterious of all
liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover
for poison.
The public, tho medical profession and the sick, for
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed
as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprie
tor in the detection and suppression of these nefari
ous practices. The genuine article, manufactured at
the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality,
and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of
the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process
unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern States of the
sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in
the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful in
fluence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap
gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed
off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inquiries on the sub
ject, and to forward to him the names of such parties
as they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious
system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned
would say that he has produced, from under the hands
of the most distinguished men of science in America
proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex.
cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding
it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed
should protect the public and himself against fradulent
imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor
in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as
unadulterated; that be has challenged investigation,
analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms;
and from every ordeal the preparation which bears - his
name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant.
He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens
generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press
and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so
great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the
leading physicians and chemists of this city win prove
to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned
are all they are represented to be.

rriHIS GUANO DIFFERS from PERUVIAN GUANO
X simply in the RELATIVE PROPORTION of the
SAME elements of fertility.
Its use duriDg the past four years for the culture of
COTTON and corn, has given to it a character for
standard excellence unsurpassed by genuine Peruvian
Guano, and when seasons of drought intervene, it
produces a large increase of crops.
The price at which this Guano is placed is so much
below that of Peruvian Guano as to constitute it an
object of material importance to Southern agriculture!
The large capital and resources of the Company ena
ble it to furnish a Guano of the highest value at the
lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest in
terest of the Company is recognized in this policy.
The Company looks to large sales, small profits and
a permanent business for compensation on capital
invested.
D. St. Julian Ravenel, of South Carolina, is Scien
tific Director of the Company, which affords a sure
guarantee of the continued excellence of the Guano.

Udojlpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dear Sir: I have made a chemical examination of
a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent
of determining if any foreign or injurious substance
had been added to the simple distilled .spirits.
The examination has resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed in the
adulteration of liquors. I .would not hesitate to use
myself or to recommend to others, for medical pur
pose, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un
objectionable variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) CHAS. A. SEELY, Chemist.

UdolphO Wolfe, Esq., Present: •
Dear Sir: I ba,ve submitted to chemical analysis
two bottles of “Schiedam Schnapps,’’ which I took
from a fresh package in your bonded warehouse, and
find, as before, that the spirituous liquor is free from
injurious ingredients or falsification; that it has the
marks of being aged and not recently prepared by
mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics.
Hespectfully,
FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist.
New York, Tuesday, May L
Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.:
Dear Sib : The want of pure Wines .and Liquors for
medicinal purposes has been long felt by the profes
sion, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by
the use of. adulterated articles. Delirium tremens,
and other diseases of the brain and nerves, so*ife in
this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a
great degree, to the difference in the purity of the
spirits sold.
We have tested the several articles imported .and
sold by yon, including your Gin, which you sell * un
der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which
we consider justly entitled to the high reputation it
has acquired in this country; and from your long ex
perience as a foreign importer,your Bottled Wines and
Liquors should meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of the
respectable apothecaries in different parts of the city
as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Winkk
where the profession can obtain the same when need
ed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing yon success in, your qew enterprise,
We remain your obedient servants,
