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. Mr. O’Cour. New Yobk, December 24.—Charles O’Cpnor suffered a partial relapse last night. His physicians, however, do not think it will prove anything more than temporary. 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. Terrible Accident From Kerosene. Cincinnati, Dec. 24. —Lorenz Orth and family were setting around the table last night at their home, at 110 Pleasant street, when Mrs. Orth on getting up knocked a kerosene lamp the floor, when it exploded, setting Are to her clothes. Her husband and children, in extinguishing the flames, were all badly burned, the flesh in some places being literally cooked. All are alive yet. 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. NEW YORK. BUSINESS -WEATHER—BANK STATEMENT. New York, December 24.—As usual during the holiday season, business at the various exchanges was light and the attendance small. The weather to-day is considerably cooler than yesterday.

Yesterday evening several Demo cratic club3 met to choose officers to conduct the ward elections of dele gates to the State Convention. In the third ward a fight ensued and several were badly handled, because of an attempt of one Brigade of clubs to exclude another.

London, Dec. 24.—The Times has a special telegram from Penang to-day, saying that Gen. Colborne reports he has taken Kintah without any loss. The Maharajahs, Ismail and Lela, fled to Palane. ■ —♦ ♦ 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. Kpllt Milk. Hartford, Conn., Dec. 24.—The milk train on the Connecticut & Wes tern Railroad, bound west, was wrecked by means of a misplaced switch near the New York line laSt, evening.

New York, Dec. 24.—The usual Christmas services will be held in all the churches throughoht the city. At the public institutions a bountiful dinner will be provided for the in mates. The musical services at the churches will be a pleasing feature of the day. As in former years, the day will be observed as a general hol iday, the exchanges and boards of trade having adjourned over until 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. ' All Abuut a Heart NeKru.

Washington, Dec. 24.—A special says official returns from State Gran gers of patrons of husbandry of the West show that numbers have fallen off in members.

London, Dec. 24— p. m.— Right Hon. Earl Stanhope is dead. Philip Henry Stanhope, whose death is announced above, was born January 31st. 1805 ,and was son of the fourth Earl Stanhope.
