A Christmas Legend.
It was Christmas eve. The night
was very dark and the snow was fall
ing fast, as Hermann, the charcoal
burner,drew his cloak tighter around
him, and the wind whistled iiercely
through the trees of the black for
est. He had been to carry a load to
a castle near, and was now hasten
ing h >me, to his little hut. Although
he worked very hard, he was poor,
gaining barely enough for the wants
of his wife and four little children.
He was thinking of them, when he
head a faint wailing. Guided by
the sound, he groped about and
found a little child, scantily clothed,
shivering and sobbing by itself in the
snow.
“Why, little one, have they left
you here alone to face the cruel
blast?”
The child auswered nothing, but
looked pitiously up in the charcoal
burner’s face.
"Well, I can not leave thee here.
Thou would'st be dead before the
morning.”
So saying, Hermann raised it in his
arms, wrapping it in his cloak and
warming its little cold hands in his
bosom. When he arrived at his hut,
he put down the child and tapped at
the door, which was immediately
thrown open, and the children rush
ed to meet him.
“Here, wife, is a guest to our
Christmas eve supper,” said he, lead
ing the little one. who held timidly
to his linger with its tiny hand.
“And welcome he is,” said the wife.
“Now let him come and warm him
self by the tire.”
The children all pressed around
to welcome and gaze at the little
new- comer.
They showed him their pretty fir
tree, decorated with bright, colored
lamps in honor of Christmas eve,
which the good mother had endeav
ored to make a fate for the ehildreu.
Then they sat down to supper,each
child contributing Us portion for the
guest, looking with admiration at its
clear blue eyes and golden hair,
which shone so as to shed a brighter
light in the little room; and as they
gazed it grew into a sort of halo
round its head, and his eyes beamed
with a heavy luster. Soon two white
wings appeared at his shoulders, and
he seemed to grow larger and larger,
and then the beautiful vision van
ished, spreading out his bauds as in
benediction over them.
Hermann and his wife fell upon
their knees, exclaiming in woe
struck voices,“the holy Christ-child!”
and then embraced their wondering
children to joy and thanfulness that
they had entertained the Heavenly
Guest.
The next morning, as Hermann
passed by the place where he had
found the fair child, he saw a cluster
of white flowers, with dark green
leaves, looking as though the snow
itself had blossomed. Hermann
plucked some and carried them rev
erently home to to his wife and chil
dren, who treasured the fair blossoms
and tended them carefully in remem
brance of that wonderful Christmas
eve, calling them Chrysanthemums;
and every year,as the time came
round, they put aside a portion of
their feast and gave it to some poor
little children according to the word
of the Christ: “Inasmuch as ye
have done it, unto one of the least of
these, my brethren, ye have done it
unto me - ”
Might in (be Moon
At last, however, night sets in.
Gratefully it comes after the sun has
gathered up his smiting beams and
gone down to rest. All at once we
are plunged into comparative ob
scurity, for again there is no twilight
to stay the steps of departing day.
At oue stride comes the dark; but.
looking up into the sky, we behold
one vast orb, which pours down a
milder and more beneficent splen
dor than the great lord of the sys
tem. It is such a moon as we ter
restrials cannot boast of, for it is
thirteens times as large and lumi
nous as our own. There it hangs in
the firmament without apparent
change of place as if “fixed in its ever
lasting seat.” But not without change
of surface, for this great globe is a
painted panorama, and, turning
round;majestically on it axis,presents
oceans and continents in grand suc
cession. As Europe and Africa, lock
ing the Mediterranean in their em
brace,rol away to the right,the stormy
Atlantic offers its waters to view,
and then the two Americas, with
their huge forests and vast prairies,
pass under inspection. Then the
grand basin of the Pacific, lit up with
island fires, meets the gazer’s eye,
and as this glides over the scene, the
eastern rim of Asia and the upper
portion of Australia sail into sight.
The Indian Ocean, and afterwards
the Arabian Bea, spread themselves
out in their subdued splendor; and
thus, in four-and-twenty hours, “the
great rotundity we tread,” turns its
pictured countenance to the moon,
and grandly repays the listening lu
narians by repeating, to the best of
its ability, the story of its birth. Nor
13 the sky less marvellous in another
respect, for the absence of any at
mospheric diffusion of light permits
the constellations to shine out with a
distinctness which is never paralleled
on earth. They glitter like diamond
§oints set in a firmament of ebony.
tars and clusters which we never
see by the naked eye, flock into view,
and-erowd the lunar heavens.

THE DAILY TIMES.
SOCIUTES AND CHRIST.
A COMPARISON OF THE PAGAN PHILOSO
PHER WITH THE FOUNDER OF CARISTI
ANITY, BY A MEMBER OF THE HARVARD
FACULTY.
Philadelphia Times.)
Prof. William Everett, of Harvard
College, lectured before a large audi
ence, at Dr. Furness’ church, Twelfth
and Locust street, last evening. His
subject was "Socrates and Christ,”
and he began by saying that the
Christian religion is the religion of a
man, and its ministers and votaries
agree in tracing it back to the life
and teachings of a man, Jesus of
Nazareth. They are content to stand
or fall with Him; they ask nothing
better than to have the Word which
He spoke judge them at the last day.
Herein Christianity merely agrees
with all other religions that have
power among men. They all appeul
to persons—authors, founders, saints,
martyrs—to men in whose lives
they are embodied. and
the man becomes the religion. It
is no longer a rule, but a model they
follow; not a doctrine, but a life.
Christianity claims that her Founder
was the best of men, and insists that
all religion rests for its hold upon the
world on its greatest and bestof men.
The majority of Christians claim that
their great ideal obtained His para
mount excellence by virtue of a union
with the divine essence. The lectur
er said that he would meet those who
denied the claim of the Christian
Church for a superior loftiness and
purity of ideals on the grounds of
transcendent humanity alone. It is
denied that the perfect mar. ever
came on earth, and it is denied that
Jesus was He. He is compared with
Buddha, Confucius and Mahbmet in
a patronizing way. In choosing
saints to match with Christ,Those who
reject Him have to be very careful.
For His life and teachings have ex
orcised such a vast influence that al
most every hero and saint that lias
come after Him has owed numberless
elements of His life-giving force to
the Nazarene; and most of them
would reject as blasphemous any
idea of rivaling Him. So many of
those who reject Christ come back to
Socrates that lie seems to be tho only
one outside the Christian pale who
is worth holding up as a model. Af
ter describing the condition of Athens
at the time of Socrates, his surround
ings and education, the lecturer said
of him that his spotless life and sen
tentious maxims are recorded in a
strain of delightful homeliness by
the most practical and shrewd of his
followers, and he is exalted as a hero
and a saint, a martyr to the cause of
virtue; “anil yet I think men must
read backward who prefer the master
of Xenophon and Plato to the Master
of Peter and John.” After describing
the methods of the two teachers—
the wit and subtlety of Socrates,
who addressed himself to the in
tellect alone, and his luck of tender
ness,as compared with that of Christ,
who addressed himself to the heart,
Prof. Everett said that the morality
of Socrates is essentially Greek,
while that of Christ is of no national
ity and universal. Socrates worked
out, the theory of self-interest, well
understood, while Christ taught the
doctrine of self-sacrifice. Socrates
taught that woman to be a compan
ion to man must have abandoned the
modesty ofdier sex, or else be a div
inely-inspired monster, while Christ
was before all men in His church as
signed to domestic and saintly wo
man. In all Socrates’ exhortations
to virtue there is no word of hope for
him or her who stumbles; no
hope and forgiveness for the
sinner: while on the long, hard
road to virtue is no part of his sys
tem. The Athenian philosopher
professed that he could not teach his
pupils anything. No teacher could
impart anything that was not in the
man himself. He spoke of his atten
dants, and referred his disciples to
the Greek oracles and diviners. How
different was the course of Christ !
He answered questions, solved diffi
culties and furnished strength to the
weakest. He authoritatively declar
ed Himself gifted with a personal in
tercourse with God. In short, Soc
rates did the best on earth; Jesus
opened heaven. Will those who up
hold Socrates as equal to Christ al
low him to be judged by those wri
tings which profess to exhibit him in
his loftiest moments, when he soar
ed to tho divinoheights of philosophy
with a few chosen friends V Chris
tians stand by John—will they stand
by Plato ? They love to dwell on his
power of eliciting truth by questions.
Will they let mo show his inconsisten
cies, his disingenuousness, his favor
ite adoption of the sophistical art,
that he is supposed to have refuted?
They love to dwell on the cell anil
the hemlock. Ido not ask if they
dare compare that philosophic report
to the sublimity and pathos of Cal
var v, but did they ever read about the
orgies of the banquet? They love
to quote how nobly he insisted that
it is nobler to suffer wrong than do
it. Did they never read where the
same Socrates brings the right and
wrong down to the level of the pleas
ant and profitable? Will they read
from his ideal commonwealth how ho
would deal with women and the mar
riage tie; how lie would let the inva
lid die as worthless, and kill the vi
cious as hopeless? Asa last ground
of comparison what has been the re
sult? When Socrates was accused of
corrupting the youths his enemies
pointed with truth to some of
his dearest friends and special fol
lowers who had proved a curse to the
city, alike in public and private. This
charge is indignantly and justly met
on the ground that he had repeatedly
warned them against their evil cour
ses, and that the only good part of
their lives was passed in his compa
ny. It was not the fault of Socrates
if those wtiom his doctrine threw
back on themselves proved unequal
to his load. But when I am calmly
asked to value him as a hero and
saint, by the side of Him whose life
and death first made the Apostles
what they were, and then successive
ly converted Jew, Greek, Homan and
Pagan, who has remodeled virtue and
founded the new age on the wreck of
the old, I feel it ia an insult to my
common sense to be requested to
rank the master of Alcibiades
with the Master of St. Paul.

COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1875.
TEN IIAVN ON FI HE!
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A SCHOONER,
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 24.—The
three-masted schooner Florida, Capt.
Gilmore, which arrived here yester
day from Rockland, Maine, sixteen
days out, had a very thrilling exper
ience. She was loaded with lime in
casks, and when six days out and
about off Hatteras smoke was discov
ered issuing from the planking in the
cook’s gallery and around the fore
mast. The captain immediately or
dered all the hatches and openings
to the hold battened down and all
draft or rent from the hold com
pletely closed. Smoke was then
sjsen to issue from the planking out
side on the bows. The vessel was
put before tho wind, and the men
were lowered over the bows on
boards, and with mortar stopped
the cracks. It was now found that
the gas generated by the lime was
penetrating the cabin and forecastle
and galley, and the crew had to leave
them, after first securely closing all
the doors and windows to the same,
and thereafter lived entirely on deck.
TlieY fortunately had one barrel of
lime on deck, with which they made
a paste and made the windows and
doors air-tight. They now observed
smoke to be issuing from the deck
planking under the forecastle deck,
and had to plaster this up also. For
six days ttiey had no fire by day and
no lights by night, and had no binna
cle light to see the compass, and had
to steer by the wind. They were only
able to sooure some hard tack and
bones. On these they lived for ten
days. For the last four days the fire
has appeared to be dying out, as the
decks are now cool, and as soon as
they are satisfied that the Are is com
pletely under control, they will begin
to discharge cargo.
' Capt. Gilmore deserves the highest
praise for his seaman-like conduct
and coolness in danger, and the wise
course taken to save his vessel and
cargo.

Tweed Believed to be In Culm.
New York, Dec. 24.— The report
received here of Tweed’s arrival in
Cuba is credited by most of the po
lice officials. If the report is con
firmed it is hardly probable that
the sheriff will make any further ef
fort to recapture Tweed, as there is
no extradition treaty with Spain.
Police Superintendent Walling says
he thinks the news likely to be true.
The report is that ho reached Havana
in. the schooner Rigged steamer
Thyra. He probably sailed about
December 4th. The sheriff still holds
to the opinion that the prisoner has
not left the vicinity of New York.

of the day. As in former years, the
day will be observed as a general hol

Monday.
The Folly of Pride.
Tho very witty and sarcastic Rev.
Sidney Smith thus discourseth on the
folly of pride in such a creature as
man;
“After all, take some quiet, sober
moment of life, and add together the
two ideas of pride and of man; be
hold him, a oreature of a Bpan high,
stalking through infinite space in all
tho grandeur of littleness. Perched
on a speck of the universe, every
wind of heaven strikes into
the coldness of death; his soul floats
from his body like melody from a
string; day and night, as dust on the
wheel, ho is rolled along the heavens,
through a labyrinth of worlds, and
all the creations of God are flaming
above and beneath. Is this a crea
ture to muke himself a crown of
glory; to deny his own flesh, to mock
at his fellow, sprung from that dust
to which both will soon return?
Does the proud man not err; does he
not suffer; does he not die; when he
roasops is he never stopped by diffi
culties; when he lives is he
pain ; when he dies can he escape the
grave? Pride is not the heritage of
man; humility should dwell with
frailty, and atone for ignorance,
error, and imperfection.”
In the division of the chairman
ships of the House committees
among the several sections of the
Union, the Southern States have 18,
the Western 17, the Northern 13, and
the Eastern (New England.) none.
For several previous Congresses the
New England States had largely
more than their fair proportion. '
