“ MUCH YET REMAINS INSI'Mi. ’
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
annual, visit or st. Nicholas.
T was 111. night hetbre Christmas, when all 1 1 1 roui'li
the house,
Not ■ ercaluic was stirring, nol even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney wilii care,
In hopes that Si. Nicholas soon would In- ihrre;
'l’he children weie nestled all snog in their beds.
While visions ol sugar plums danced through their
lieads;
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains tor a long winter s nap —
When out ol' the lawn there arose such a clatter,
i sprang from my hed to see what was the matter:
Aivsv to the window 1 Hew like a Hash,
Tore opcu the shutters, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of mid day to objects below,
Wlien, what to my wandering eves should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight liny rein deer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must he St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his couisers they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by
name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! now,
Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Bonder and Blixen!
To the top of the porch! to the topol the wall!
Now, dash away, dash awav, dash away all!
As leaves that before the wild hurricane tlv,
"When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the
sky,
So up to the house top llte coursers they Hew,
With the sleigh lull ol toys—ami St. Nicholas too,
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the tool,
The prancing and pawing ol each little liool.
A* I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimneys .St. Nicholas came with a
hound.
He was dressed all in I’ttr, from Ins head to his loot.
-And his cloth.s were all tarnish'd with ashes and
soot!
A bundle of toys be had Hung on bis back,
And he look'd like a pedlar just opening Ins pack,
lbs eves—bow they twinkled! bis dimples, bow
merry'!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn like a bow,
And the beard on bis chin was as w bite as I lie
snow.
■/lie sluinpof a pipe lie held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly,
That shook, w hen he laugh'd, like a bowl full ol
jelly.
He was chubby and plump; a right jolly old elf;
And I laughed, when I saw him, in spite ol myself
A wink of his eve, aed a twist o! his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but weld straight to Ids work,
And filled all the stockings —then turned with a
jerk,
And laying bis finger aside of Ids nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney be rose.
He sprang to bis sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like the down otl a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out ol sight,
u Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
From the United Slates Gazette.
THE PRINTER'S DOOM !
A Printer weary and wan,
His face all mortally pale,
A* he wearily plodded his homeward way,
Before the breaking of early day,
Broke out in a bitter wail.
His voice was bnskv and low,
As though liis lungs were gone;
And lie cough’d and gasp’d ami cough and again,
And he pressed his hand on his heart in pain,
While thus his plaint run on:
“A world of toil is this!
It hath no joy lor me.
’Tis labor by day, and labor by niglit,
By the light of the son, and by candle light,
Labor continually.
Some men have a day of rest,
But sabbath tor me is not;
It is toil all the week, and toil all the day
That God has given to rest and to pray —
Lo ! this is the printer's lot!
‘‘When I was a lioy,” he said,
“ I play’d on the hills ol green!
I swam in the stream —I fish'd in the brook
And blessed was I to sit and to look
Unlettered on nature’s scene.
“ For twenty years or more,
My life has worn away
In murky minis of poisonous air.
When I've yearn'd liir the Right of the valleys lair,
And the light of open day.
“ An innocent prisoner doom’d,
My heart is heavy within;
Oil, whv should a man untainted by guilt,
Who tlic Wood of a creature never hath spilt,
Be pent, like a felon, for sin ?
The printer then cough’d and sighed—
The stars were growing dim,
Amt glanced at the morning sky,
And he only thought it were good to die,
And death would he rest to him.
His heart was tired of beating!
He prayed to the Lord aliove
To pity a man whose beat! had been riven
Bv toil, lor other men’s interest given—
And be wept liir his mercy and love.
He hied to liis humble home:
His infant awi kc to cry,
“ Olt, father ! oh, mother! I’m hungry for bread 1
And llte printer bow’d down with an aching head,
On his Mary’s lap, to die.
Oh, ye who have never known
The richness that’s in a crust
When nothing is found on llte desolate shelf,
And the sufferer's pocket is empty of pelf—
Receive my story to trust.
Say not in your careless scorn,
Wliat hoots this tale to you ?
The rhymer who traces these roughly writ rhymes
Hath known of such sufferings in other tlay times,
And the main of its rhyme is true.
Remember this holy truth—
The man who aloof had stood
When a heart-broken brother for succor did crave,
And he stretched not a finger to bless and to save,
Is verily guilty of blood !
The Lord's Prayer. —l remember on
one occasion travelling in litis country
with a companion who possessed some
knowledge of medicine. We had arrived
at a door, near which we were about to
pitcli our tent, when a crowd of Arabs
surrounded us, cursing and swearing at.
“the rebellers against God.” My friend,
who spoke a little Arabic, turning round
loan elderly person, whose garb bespoke
him a priest, said “Who laught you that
we were disbelievers? Hear mv daily
prayer, and judge for yourselves.” lie
then related the Lord’s Prayer. All
stood amazed an I silent until the priest
exclaimed—“ May God curse me if ever 1
again curse those who hold such a belief!
nav, more—that prayer shall he my pray
er till my hour be come. I pray thee, oh
Nazarine! repeat the prayer, that it may
he remembered and written among us in
letter* of gold.— Mr. Hay's ll'stem Dar-
Ixiry.
There is old lady in Morris county.
New Jersey, who had a “presealimesil”
when General Harrison’s election was
first announced, that he would die w ithin
a month of his inauguration. The same
wise seer predicts that Mr. Polk will not
live to be inaugurated—and, what is more,
there are folks, we hear, who believe it!
The Milleritcs arc not so singular a peo
ple after all.
A Solecism. —An article is going the
rounds c.’ the city papers headed “ The
White house in 1784,” and giving an ac
count of General Washington’s family
there at that time. Theie was no “ White
House,” in that year, nor did General
Washington ever live in that building.—
While at the seat of government, he resi
ded in a large mansion, still standing, on
the northeastward of the Capitol.
It is said that all llte necessary instruc
tion in the fashionable dance of the Polka,
is contained in llte following—“ United
we stand—divided we hop.”
Not at home. — The following anecdote
is related of Lessing, the German au
thor, who, in his old age, was subject to
extraordinary fits of abstraction. On his
return home one evening, alter he had
knocked at the door, a servant looked out
of the window to see who was there. —
.Not recognising his master in the daik,
and mistaking him lor a stranger, he cal
led out; * The professor is not at home.'
‘Oh, very well, ’ replied Lessing, * 1 will
call another time;’ and so saying, lie walk
ed away.
