AUGUSTA, G-A..-.
Sunday Morning, December 19,1875.
Christmas Shadows.
The needles have dropped from her nerve
less hands,
As she watches the dying embers glow.
For out from the broad old chimney-place
Come ghostly shadows of “long ago
Shadows that carry her back again
To the time of her childhood’s, artless
joy
Shaduws that show her a tiny row
Of stockings awaiting the Christmas toy;
Shadows that show her the faces loved
Of many a half-forgotten friend;
An<l the Christmas eve it is passing by,
While Past and Present in shadow’s blend,
Alone in the dear old homestead now,
With only the shadows of ‘ Auld Lang
Syne,”
The clock is ticking the moments on,
While the tears in her aged eyes still
shine.
If oniy from out the silent world—
The world of shadows which moclx her
so - .
Cne might return to his vacant chair.
To sit with her in the fire-light’s glow !
If only— Was that a white, white nand
That seemed to beckon her out of the
gloom?
Or was it the embers’ last bright flash
That startled the shadows round the
room?
The Ckristmas-eve it has passed at length;
A glorious day from the night is born;
The shadows are gone from earth away.
And tiie bells are ringing for Christmas
morn.
But ah! by the broad old chlmney-piace
The angel of death keeps watch alone,
For straight to the Christ child’s beckon
ing arms
A longing spirit hath gladly flown.
How the Astors Guard Their Millions.
The generosity of the Astors is shown
in some facts contributed by a corre
spondent of the Schenectady Star. —
Some thirty or forty years since the
idiot son of John Jacob was placed un
der the charge of a young student of
Dr. Champlin, of Cambridge, Mass.,
named Dickinson. One day while
Dickinson was sitting at his desk and
his charge lying upon his bed the latter
raised a cudgel, and, hurliDg it at the
former, struck him in the eye, utterly
destroying it, and causing the weari
some confinement of many weeks. In
telligence of this sad affair was forth
with communicated to the Astors, and
the brother, the late William 8., made
a journey to Cambridge. He gave
young Dickinson a trifling sum of
money. He told Dickinson, however,
to call at the Astor place of business
when he came to New York. In
the course of a year or two young
Dickinson, having finished his medi
cal studies, and determined to push
his fortunes in this State, called as re
quested. At first William B. to
recognize him—which was natural,
owing to the green patch over the
socket of the lost eye. Finally, how
ever, the caller was handed a newspa
per. William B. departed without ex
planation, and did not return. Dis
gusted and humiliated, Dickenson went
up the Hudson to Waterford, where he
soon secured a handsome practice.
Soon, however, the consequences of his
wound laid him prostrate. Partially
recovering, his physician told him a trip
to Cuba was the only means of saving
his life. He had a family and scant
means. The late John Knickerbocker
helped him out of his financial difficul
ties, and he went to New York. There
he met the writer of the communica
tion to the Star, and told him the cir
cumstances above narrated. Together
the two called on old John Jacob, and
all the satisfaction the old man vouch
safed came in the words: “I know
nothing about it; my son William set
tled all dat.” “Poor Dickinson,” con
cludes the writer, “never returned—be
died in Cuba, leaving a helpless and
destitute wife and children.”
Boucicault and Canvas-Backs. —A
Baltimore paper is authority for the
statement that “ Mr. Boucicault has
better taste than Dumas, and a more
refined knowledge of the delicacies of
the art, and he will write a better work.
One thing that he knows, is how to
cook a canvas-back, and then when it
is done, he knows how to carve it. Not
a drop of his delicious juice, (meaning
the canvas-back’s,) must be allowed to
evaporate, until the carviDg knife lets
it fretn him. He is to be done by a hot,
clear tire, in as short a time as is re
quired to crisp and brown the skin and
outer flesh, and he is to be served with
celerity and eelerj’. Supplemented by
a bottle of proper champagne, carved
with judgment, and abetted by a little
currant jelly, the canvas-back consti
tutes the grandest culinary triumph
that the genius of man has translated
to his stomach. The crowned heads
of Europe are few of them fit to enjoy
it.”
Now, John, suppose there’s a load of
hay on this side of a river and a jack
ass on the other, how can the jackass
get to the hay without getting wet?
I give it up.” “ Well, that’s just what
t he other jackass did.”
“If,” said a New England preacher,
suddenly pausing in his sermon, “ the
youth who has just thrown that egg iu
at the window will wait till service is
over, he will learn what a Christian
minister can do for the salvation of his
soul.”
Au average of thirty children fall
into tubs of hot water in this country
every week. Mothers could increase
the number to forty if they had any
enterprise about them.— [Detroit Free
Press.
“Wa’al. yes,” said the old man, as he
painfully leaned on his cane, “I’m
kinder ageing, and I feel it more and
more every day. Only last year I used
to be able to walk round Union Park
every morning, and now my rheumatiz
is so bad that when I’ve got half way
round all I can do h> to turn round and
hobble back.”
Six months ago, as a young lady was
riding on a Detroit street car, she han
ded her nickle to a young man with a
red necktie. Their fingers touched—
eyes met— thrill—blushes, and last
night they were married. Incidents
like this are happening almost daily in
this city, but the papers seldom men
tion them, out of sympathy for the
street car horses.
There is only one way to get square
with this Atlantic cable extortion, and
that is to use the fewest possible words,
and the longest odes you can think of.
Don’t say, “I will come, “Father is
sick,” “lour draft is accepted,” or use
any of these expressions. Say, “Ex
peditiously I eircumundulate;” “Father
pleuroperiupneumoniacally degener
ates,” or some little, simple thing of
that nature, and then you’ll get your
money’s worth at seventy-five cents a
word.
He ;vas strolling around town while
the boat was taking on freight, and,
coming to w£ere four or five men sat
under an awning, he held out his hand
to each in turn, and remarked, “Shake,
stranger. Although I’ve stood where
shot fell around me like rain drops in
a shower, I want reconciliation now
genuine peace.” “Ah 1 what battles
were you in'?” asked one of the men.
“ I wasn’t in any, mister," the stranger
soberly replied ; “it was In the shot
tower at St. Louis the shot came so
fast.” And the crowd went over after
soda-water.—[ Vicksburg Herald.

Attahed, and owing to raecent improvements In this Everier, the laps wtien ready for

system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from lire than the card r*> mi.

Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. )
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f nave been tunning your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more th-m two years oaet at the Cotton Mill of tm-
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
auy opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. v> e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its security against fire.
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
