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!

G. PATTEN. Novmbar 27 1845. “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 Prom the New York True Sun. 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- ncr and better world. were subject to revision. Senor hns ex- Gurav’s time for commencing tho worl p : red, or is about expiring, and Be is now seek ing fro in Congress un extension of the thro itll->wid him. The editor seeks tberefoie to n' onsu earnest attention to the subject, so that Congress' may provide, as surely as human foresight c in do, that in granting this exten sion, the Mexican Republic shall not expose to the hazard of loss that hccrestiiig portion of her territ iry, the use ot' which s'a- give# J[> lo the commerce of the world.
