Mamma, they say ’tie Christmas eve, But tell me, can it be ! It brings no smile upon your fhee, No merriment to me. I am wenfy of these snowvcUd hill*, No longer would I roam: Oh, take me to the orange grove, At our deierted hum* ! Our parlor looks so dark to-night; We have no Christmas trte; No dainties oB our table spread; Mamma, bow can It b* ? Tho grass at home is soft and green; The skies are bright above, And little birds sing merrily Their song* of joy and love. I long to breathe the pure, fresh air, To see (hose bright blue skies. To wander o’er our garden walks, And chase the butterflies; I long to see the tall pine trees. For through their boughs to»day The wind is sighing mournfully, Because we stay away. My child, your simple, artless speech, Makes tears unbidden start; The light is dim within onr homss, Gone out within my heart. And if across our darkened path Hope casts a trembling gleam, ‘Tis but the phantom of a joy, The mockery of a dream. One promise sweet sustains mi now T® suffering ones 'tie given; Tliet they who bear the cross on earth, Shall wear the crown in heaven. One gift alone I claim as ours; Upon the conning morn, One gift from heaven—a jgtorfous boon The promised Saviour born. [Southern Society. Come, boys. 1 hare something to tell you.

The linkers and brokers are wealthy, They take Ip their thorn anils or so, Ah! lldnkor trfa’frauils and ‘deception*, j Don't be in a tyirry to go.

A correspondent jjend* a northern paper a narrative of a little iocidervt illustfativn of the spirit of caste too prevalent in al most pTerv community : V Durug the scarcity of water tho past few weeks, theres has been manifested in our town much of human nature. On one occasion an invalid widowed mot hep sent her little daughter to several of her neigh bors to procure a pail of water, one refused, She then . told ffle to go to Mrs. A.'* and explain the necessity, cially incident To slcWes*, *or their having water. The child returned, faying.- “Mrs. A. says she has none to spare and wishes yon not to trouble her again The mother, choked with tears said: “If I were rich she would not relose me. If Mrs. 13. up town should send there for wa ter she would get it.” “1 will prove that!’ - said a lady caller. Suiting action to word, she donned an aid shawl and hood, transforming herself into the real Biddy just over from Ilia old coun try. Taking a large tin pail in her hand, jfic was soon at Mrs. A.’s door. '‘An share can ;sJct Mrs. B. up town have a pail of water V’ “Are you lief girPr'*” i • Yes marrn. indada | . “Oh, certainly; tell Mrs. B- n’-e can have water any time. ’ i Wbf rcapon Mr?.

If the man happens to take the ‘■blither's er,” ns Burns says, Iris Utter ia shown to the girl, who decides the question Should her answer be in the affirmative, the suitor recewos a gentle hint that a la dv's wardrobe is wanted, so the sooner the gentleman looks alter one the better for his cause, lie must by some means or other find out the size of the lady’s loot, and get , her a pair of shoes, he must get n hat, veil, gown, hoop, shawl, and I dou’t know what When he appears with this pile of merchan dise, lie receives the much desiryd ••yob" from the young woman'* own lips.. Then the alcalde or major of the town must he seuL for—also ail the girl's relatives. every one ol them; and before thia crowd the man must confess that he loves the woman and wants to marry her, and the alcalde then gives his permission. This constitutes the incipient married slate, and the finishing touches are to bo put '".n by tlip priest.
