Crijc (Constitutionnlist. 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.

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. _o OFFICE MASSACHUSETTS COTTON MILLS, / Lowell, February 20, 1874.
