ornng ftcu'S. FRIDAY, DECEMBER *4, 18G8. [Fob the Sayaskah Mohntng News.] 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.

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. ^ < < Massachusetts : —A "writer in the Boston Congregatkmalist speaks of a palish up in Berkshire county “that has not been asham ed to employ, a truthful, laborious, godly pastor for the amazing sum of $20o per an num Rinpp .w;i 1854, till last spring, when.

He is „ sixty-three years Dr. Todd's, but 4 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. sure-to meet the fate of Frank, Wil liam, and Simeon.

If he comes he is fprom the Louisville Courier-Journal.] 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 had both the lost ladies occupied the I What business .have youngsters with a same relations in lifethe identification, nature, Td like to know!

It meant—but you shall hear just how matters would come about. MV Reynard.—First barn-yard class stand up.

We’ll see whether you’ll come to school again Avith wet feet, sir, and stand on your bench making faces at the teacher.

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 office, or—” “ Go to the—mischief! I have a thousand of your kind around me every day.

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. “ UDOLPHO WOLFE.

Sold by AgricuVl Implement Dealthe IT: S. corxrNs A 26 Pine Street, New York ~ Nov. 21,1867. 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. * New Yore* 53 Cedar Street, November 26, 186T. 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, VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.,Professor of Surgery, Uni versity Medical College, New York. J. M. CARNOCHAN, M.
