“Oh, ho! O. ho!” quoth old Jack Frost.
As he sped on his wint’ry way;
And he laughed, delighted.
As lie nipped und blighted
The things men deemed most gay.
He made the old oak, and the poplar tall,
Bend low at his stormy blast,
And the last yellow leaves to quiver and fall
Before his might as he passed.
‘•Oh,ho! O, ho!” quoth old Jack Frost,
As he looked at the farmer's fireside,
And saw the huge log
On tile bright iron dog.
And a flagon and tankard beside;
And heard the gay jest, and the loud merry laugh.
As they trilled forth their Christmas rhymes.
How happy they grew as the liquor they’d quaff—
Jack gave a huzza for old times!
"O, hi! O.ho!” quoth old Jack Frost,
As a nobleman's house he passed through.
And saw turkey and chine.
And brandy and wine :
11 These, indeed, are rare times for you !”
And the rich man dozed in his easy arm-chair,
And his fire blazed fiercely and bold;
Bat be uever thought one morsei to spare,
For those that were hungry and cold.
‘*0, ho! O.ho!” sighed old Jack Frost,
As he looked in the poor man’s hut;
Dark, dirty, and drear,
And no fire to cheer.
Without window or door that would abut!
And a half-clad mother her children cuddled,
To give warmth to the nestling brood;
And the little ones cried, as together they hnddled,
“Oil,mother, pray give us some food!”
“O.ho! O.ho!” sighed old .1 ack Frost,
At a sight he loved not to see,
For paupera he saw.
Condemned by the law
To feast upon skilligalee.
And he heard the poor wretches refused even that
By the flint-hearted over-seer.
He believed not their tale, as cozy he sat,
Their heart-breeding cases to hear.

“O.ho! O, ho!” doled forth Jack Frost,
As he went far and wide through aU parts;
I caine here to see
Mirth, comfort, glee.
Net to deaden and freeze up men’s hearts,
111 leave the world to the bright sun's beam,
Whose brilliance Ilanghed at before;
And may the gay Warmth of its genial gleam
Cause the rich to remember the poor.

“Will, doctor, play give us a definition of
what you consider being fou, that we may
know in future when a cauniu Scot may, with
propriety, be termed drunk.”
“ Well, gentlemen,” said the Doctor, “that
is rather a kiltie question to answer, for you
must know there is a great diversity of opinion
on the subject. Some say that n man is sober
as long as lie can stand upon his legs. An
Irish friend of mine, a fire-ea'ing, hard drink
ing captain of dragoons, once declared to me,
on Bis honor as u soldier and n gentleman, that
he would never allow any friend of his to be
cidled drunk till lie saw him trying to light his
pipe at the pump. And others there be, men
of lenrnizg and respectability too, who are of
opinion that a man has a right to consider him-
st ifsoberas long as he can lie flat on hit track
without holding on by the ground. For my
own part, I am of moderate opinions; and
would allow (hat a man was fou, without being
just so far gone as any of these. B-it, with your
leave, gentlemen, I’ll tell you a story about the
Laird of Bouniemoon, that will bea gooJ illus
tration of what I call being fou. ,
“ The Laird of Botmiemoon was gae fond of
li.!s bottie—in short, just a poor drunken body,
as I said afore. On one occasion he was asked
lo dine with Lord R , a neighbor of his,
and bis Lordship, being well acquainted with
the Laird’s dislike to small drinks, ordered a
boule of cherry brandy to beset before him af-
ter dinner, instead of port, which he always
drank in preference to claret when nothing
belter was to be got. The Laird thought this
fine henrtsome stuff, and on he went filling his
glass like the rest, and telling his cracks, and
ever the more he drank the more he praised his
Lordship’s Port. *• It was a fine full bodied
wine, and lay well on the stomach, not like
that poisonous stuff claret that made a body feel,
as if he had swallowed a nest of pud Jocks.”—
Well, gentleman, the Laird had finished one
bottle of cherry brandy, or, as his Lordship
called it, “his particular Port,” and had just
tossed off a glass of the second bottle, which he
declart d to be even better than the first, wh?n
his old confidential servant, Watty, camu sta
ving into the room, und making his best bow,
announced that the Laird’s horse was at the
door. “Get out of that ye fuuso loon,” cried
the Laird, pulling off his wig and flinging it at
Watty’s head. “Do na ye see, ye blethering
brute, that I’m just beginning nty second bot
tle?” “Rut Maister,” says Watty, scratching
bis bead, “its nmaist tvvall o’clock.” “Weel,
what though it be 1” said the Laird, turning
up his glass with drunken gravity, while tho
rest of the company were like to split their
sides with laughing at him und Watty. ** It
canna be ony later, iny man, so just reach me
my wig and lot the nalgrlmle a wee ” Well,
gentlemen, it was a cold frosty night, and Wat
ty soon tired of kicking Bis heels at tho door ;
so, in a little while, back he comes, and says
he, “Maister, maister, its umai»t une o’clock !"
“Weel, Waiiv,” says the Lrird with a hiccup
—for lie was far gone by this time—“it will
never be ony earlier, Watty, my man, and
that’s a comfort, so you may just rest yourself
a wee white lunger nll l finish my bottle. A
full belly makes a stiff back, you know Watty."
Watty, was by this time danomg mad; so after
waiting another half hour, back he comes in an
awful '"hurry,' and' shys hs “Laird, Laird, na
Irue as death the sun’s rising.” “ Weel, Wat
ty," says the Laird, looking nwfVil wise, and try
ing with both hands to fill his gla^s, “ let him
rise my man, let him rise,'lie was lurther to
gang the day than uither you or me, Watly.”
The answer faialy dutnfounded poor Watty,
and he gave it up in despair. Rut at last the
bottle was finished; the Laird was lifted into
saddle, and off he rode in high glee thinking all
the lime iiie moon was the sun, and that he
had fine daylight for his journey. “Heech,
waity, my man,” says the Laird, patting his
stomach and speaking awful thick, “we were
nano the worse for that second bottle this frosty
morning.” “Faith,” says Watty, blowiug his
fingers and looking as blue as a bilberry, ’‘your
honor is, may be, nane the worse for it, but I

THE CHANGES OF LIFE.
Not a day o’der do we grow without percei
ving that while to some life seems to wear an
equitable aspect, and every day's concerns are
so regular they may be almost posted in a ledg
er and expressed in numerals ; to others there
is a constant succession of events which are
curious, strange and romantic. From our own
brief experience vve couid produce a series of
pictures that would be full of light and shade,
of sunshine and of darkness, of brilliant skies
and gloomy horizons. We know men who
were constantly unfortiuia'e in business, though
possessing great tact and high integrity, until
they readied the meridian of life. Tneir in
domitable courage and good character at lust
enabled to stem the adverse tide, and they are
enrolled among the most wealthy of our citi
zens, On the other hand we have seen the
heads of houses whose operations extended
over the world, whose residences were pala
ces, and whose equipages were princely, after
wards living in poverty and seclusion, and re
ceiving the reluctantly doled pittance of some
wealthy connection, as their only means of sub
sistence. Families of the highest influence and
wealth have entirely disappeared from public
observation, while those originally in the very
meanest employments now attract the public
eye by the gorgeousne3s or their equipages and
the splendor of their residences.
There is among the upper ten thousand of
New York a very handsome and fashionable
personage, who has associated and lived abroad
with the English nobility on terms of friend
ship, and whose husband has been honored
with some high trust of an official character by
the Eritish Government, who was some years
ago a milliner in this city.
There is, on the other hand, a virtuous an J
excellent lady, who m youui was me cnarm or
the gayest circles of New York, aud yet uow
maintains herself by her needle, and the skillitl
use of her pen—a lady whose society was
courted by the rich and the great, and whose
relations (somo of them at least) are now re
marked for their show and habitual display.
There are merchants iu this city who, u few
years ago, could not get credit for fifty cents ;
and are now rich : others who recovered them
selves nuufully from their embarrassments, and
yet whose p iper was often thrust under their
noses before it had matured at a proffered dis
count of a most alarming amount. There are
cashiers not a thousand miles off from us who
swept out and made fires in tho first banks they
were ever iiisidc of. There are others who
have wielded millions,of capital that are now
barely able to exist. The furmer wife of a
steamboat steward is now living in spleudor
with a husband Worth naif a million of dollars.
We know a person who but a few years since
was a clerk in a small dry goods store, who is
now reputed to be worth §100,000, all of winch
he lias made by a series of successful specula
tions, and by advances to persons wlm were
not his match in bu.inuss.
There are others again who were in the pos
session of large fortunes, who by panics, pres
sures, and the general derangement of business
a few years since, saw tlieir property swept
away in a few weeks. ,
There are men of splendid talents i»hom we
meet daily, unable, with all their efforts, tp ob
tain more than the salaries of clerks or agents;
and on the other hand, every one hns observed,
if lie would but look the stupidcs of mor.il in. n
rolling up their thousands, apparently wKiout
an effort. In short, life is a seen'.*,of extraor
dinary contrasts, and it appears to tho eyes of
most reflecting people like an unsubstantial
pageaut, in which tin: characters who make up
us show are constantly changing tjic -“order ol
their going.”
What is the moral of all this, and wh it
should be the deductions from such curious
facia as these? . . ,
One unquestionably is, never to despair.—
There are some people who have high morals
und Constitutional courage, nnd act on the prin
ciple that while there is life, there is hope.—
had actually been buried before the vital spark
hud fled, and who had returned to conscious
ness, but to die the most horrible of deaths!—;
Many may doubt this, but it is too true to bo
den ed.” n , . . •
While we shudder at the idea of the dread--
ful anguish and remorse which the relatives of
tins unfortunate young bdy must endure, at the
recollection of the appalling circumstances of
their fatal precipitation, yty. do trust the cir
cumstance will prove an impressivo and salu
tary lesson for ti e fiittire-. Here is another
frightful example to be added to the cataloguo
of victims, who b> the causeless, utterly inex
cusable and most preposterous haste of their,
friends and relatives, have been consigned to
the' ineffible horrors of a living tomb.., Is it.
possible that such cases can fail to uwaken tho
public mind to the imperative necessity of.pro-,
longing the period which usually elapses be-,
tween supposed death and. interment? We
should imagine that the associations connected,
with the thought of premature buriel must be.
so horrible that a jingle instance would suffice
to prevent the possibility of it* recurrence.
Once more we call public attention to tho.
precautions which are used in Germany to.
guard against possible premature interment—
precautions wHtcIi every yeui icveui the Hurt,
that individuals believed dead would,’ but., for
ibis timely atul admirable plan, be buried alive.
The supposed corpse is deposited in a mortua
ry chamber; a cord is placed in its hand com
municating with a bell in the room of the sex
ton, whicii the slightest motion will cuuse to
vibrate. A mirror.is placed near the lips.—
Every hour in the day and night the chamber
is visited—and -.he body is not consigned to its
mother earth until inqipientydecomposition com
mences. The precautions are simple nnd effect-
ve. They should be adopted in every city
iin the Union. No doubt whatever exists in
our mindthut they would save many from
premature interment, aud restore some to tho
bosoms of their friends,when they were thought
to be snatched forever from existence.—N.

UNION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
The Meritim narers have taken np llie
subject of the contemplated canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific by way of the Isthmus of
Tehu intepe-. It will be recollected tlia’. the
privilege of ibis contract was granted by the*
Provisional Government of Mexico, to Senor
Garay. The present Congress is about to
pass upon the contract, and the Siglo AIN
warns Congress not to lose sight of two great
piovisions—one forthe actual completion of so
great a work, and in the next place, thrt tho
terms of the contract are in no way injurious to
the threatened sovereignly or national ty of the
Republic. El Zempoalteca, of Jalajut, is
greatly moved by the magnificence ol the de
sign, which will enable Mexico indirectly to
share in the fruils af the most lucrative com
merce of the world * wkich promises to build
up for her a national .marine, aud lo people
with industrious citizens, a section of her coun
try now comparatively a waste land ; and to
relieve by its tolls the nation of a heavy burden
of taxation, when the fifty years of Suuor Ga
ray’s contract expires, Rut on the other hand,
this paper sees with regret ‘.hat Senor Garay
has already disposed of his contract to Eng
lish capitalists for $50,000, and that the latter
company has at command $25,000,000.. with
which to carry ,out the project. The editor
shudders at entrusting so much to the bound
less ambition of England. The world knows
her anxiety to possess herself of a port upon
the Pacific; and the editor trembles less she
should take advantage of .certain privileges al
lowed to Senor Garay, of erecting somo fort
and other necessary works upon the line of tho,
c inal, and find some pretext for refusing to
surrender them upon the completion of the
work. The commercial ascendancy of Eng
land will thus, he apprehends, beswelied lo an •
overwhelming degree, and at the expense] of
M exieo. Shoufj any argue that this would
bo inconsistent, with the good faith of England
and the interests of other nations, the editor
answers that the world furnishes numerous
exainplh.s of stupendous frauds committed by
poxtfefTftl upon weaker nations. It cites, as if
it were a case in point, the Annexation of Tex
as to the United States; the constrained pay
ment of indemnities to Franco, manifold heav
ier than her just ciaims on Mexico ; and, lastly,
the iniquitous determination of England to en
force at all hazards contracts between her citi-
jicii.s and the Provisional Government, which
though sometimes they have been at lault, and
needed the prompter. There are thousands
ondf tens'of tlious'inds of ttie.se persons in the
world, who seem to “ conquer tlieir file/’—
They make in the end the most useful citizens,
having gained-that experience, the want of
which,'pet Imps caused tneir past d Hvciiltit-s.
Then, again, there are those wiio after mo
shock of misfortune seem never to rvcovpr
themselves. The changed character ol • l** ir
relations with their former friends, the coldn- ss
of the world, the desertion of those on - whom |
they had conferred benefits, the reproaches of i
those who have suffered by their in slot-tunes,
overwhelm them with grief and mortification,
shatter their energ : es, stupity their intellects,
and break their hearts. They retire from ob
scurity to obscurity, the shadows and gloom of
a darkening day thicken around them, and
they suddenly sink under the complicni'on of
their difficulties into the quiet of the gfftvc.
No advice, no encouragement has power to
re invigorate these persons—the very desire of
action is paralyzed, and no plan seems to hold
the probability of success. Happy if in this
sorrow, they are able to look forward to a serc-
