A VISIT FROH T. NICHOLAS
'Two. the sited twig* Christman, when all nun°
Not n creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The etockings were hung by the chimney with car,
In hopes that At. Nit:hula. goon would be there;
! The children were trailed ►ll nag in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums 4eneed to their tirade;
And mamma in their kerchief, and I in my cap,
Lad Just sealed our brains fur • long winter'. cap •
When oat on the lawn there arote such a timer,
I sprang from my bed to tee what was the matter.
Away to the whitlow I dew like a Each,
Tore open the shutter., and threw up theereit.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
tires the lustre of mid-day to objects bele,/ ;
When, what to my wondering ivy's should appear,
out a miniature bluish and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver,ao lively andoinick,
1 knew in a moment it must be Ft. Nick.
More rapid than eaglet , his coursers they mime,
And he whistled and atwitter and Imbed them by
MUM:
' • Now, AilAer: now , now, and
Via a~
On, Comet! on, Cupid: on, Dander! end Dlitten .'"
To the top atlas porch, to the top of the well !
Now dub away! dash away! drab away, all:"
As dry leaven that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky;
So op to the hoagie-top the marten they Dew,
With the sleigh fall of toys and Bt. Nicholas ton:
And then Ina twinkling I heard on the root
The prancing and pawing °reach little hoof.
Aa I drew In my Lead and was torn ng areund,
Dow ti t he chimney St. Nicholas came with ■ hound.
Ile was dressed all In fur from hie head to his foot,
And hle chitties were all tarnished with &ahem and
.out ;
A boodle of toy. he had dung on Lis back,
And he Iteked !Ikea peddler jnet opening his pack.
Iftt Oyes, how they twinkled f kis dimple., bow neer
7'•
His cheeks were like rotes, his nose like a cherry !
Ills dear little mouth was drawn up like ■ bow,
And the beard of his chin was white as the sanw ;
The stump ofe pipe be held tight la his teeth,
And the smoke It encircled his head like a wreath.
Re bads broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when ho laughed like a bowlful of jelly;
He was chubby ar.d plump, a right Jolly old elf,
And I Laughed when I as. him in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye sad a-twist of his ball
Boos gave me to know I had nothing to dead.
Li nsp,ke not a word, bat went straight :obis work,
And filled all the stockings—then turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney be rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team geese whistle,
And away they all flow like the down of a thistle—
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Skrry Christmas to all, and to Of a good-night ."!
HOW A SOLDIER'S WIDOW WAS
"3lother !
There was no response.
"Mother!" in a sharper tone.
The woman opened weary eyes.
"I told you that he would come at last,
she said, faintly.
'Who,mother? Are you dreaming dear
"I ? Why, yes, I think I was. I am
weak this morning. Hare I slept late?"
"I let yon sleep. It is nearly nine."
"Dear, dear." She essayed to rise, but
fell back.
'Why, what is the matter with me?"
"I known what it is," cried the girl, hot
tears In her eyes. "It's over work and hun
ger. Last night I read father's letter again.
What faith he had, poor father! 'They
will never let a soldier's widow suffer,' he
said, and it has been nothing but suffer;
suffer, ever since be died."
"They don't know ft, child ; we can't
beg• "
"They ought to know it," cried the girl,
bitterly. "We shall freeze or starve, I
don't know which. There's only a bucket
full of coal left. There's not a bit of food
in the house, and oh! I'm so cold!"
Vainly the mother whispered to the girl
not to cry. Her own tears were falling,
and they felt like fire on her cheeks. Sud
denly the bell rang. Ellen wiped her eyes,
half angrily, threw on a bit of well-worn
woolen shawl, and went to the door. A
girl some few years older than herself stood
there. How warm and rosy she looked,
wrapped well in bright furs.
"I am looking for a dress-maker," she
said, smiling, "who lives on this street,
and I have forgotten her name."
"It must be the opposite house," said El
len, drearily.
"Pardon me, but you look so sad Are
you in trouble?" leaped impulsively from
the pleasant faced girl.
Down rained the tears again.
. "Only we've nothing In the house to
eat," sobbed Ellen, pride snccumbing to
hunger.
"Oh! dear me ; may I come in? Don't
mind; you must let me come in. 1 think
I remember your face. You were at the
rooms of the soldiers' aid society once for
work."
"Yes; but it was too much for mother,'
cried Ellen, falling back passively.
"And is she a widow, dear ?"
"Father died the week before the war
closed," sobbed Ellen, now breaking quite
down.
"It's a burning shame yoti should suffer,"
cried the warm hearted stranger atter ahe
had heard all the story. "Wait a while, I'll
be back" and rising imputsively , she hur
ried oat of the house.
"Good bye, silk dress, till these poor
souls are cued for, "she said softly to her
self as the teas grew thick on her lashes.—
"Thirty dollars will keep them comforts
-1)1e for months!"
Then she went to . the grocer's and order
ed packige atter package, till a great basket
was tilled, and saw it to the door.
"And now, my little soldier girl, be of
good cheer. And remember, this is not
charity," she added, seeing their grateful
glances lifted heavenward ; "it's what I
owe your father for fighting for my coun
try, and saving it too. Here is something
for coal and wood, and perhaps something
over for stengthening food tor your moth
er, and a little wine. To-morrow you shall
have at least one thick warm dress. I'm
afraid I shan't sleep for months, thinking
that others such as you, who have their all,
are left to suffer the pangs of poverty, and
the bitter cold of this terrible winter."
Ellen sprang forward, fell on her knees,
clung to the rich, warm garments, as she
cried, "Oh I how God will bless you for
this, you good, dear angel. You have
saved my mother's life, and I can never,
never thank you, never repay you."
"My dear," said the sweet girl, with dif
ficulty controlling her voice, "I am still in
your de)ot, A gavelona human lite was giv
en for me and mine."
"And, Mlfly, what of the silk dress ?"
cried merry voices, as her sisters crowded
about her.
"Why, I gave part of it to a soldier's
widow and part to a soldier's orphan. And
If papa will give me the money for a velvet
cloak I'll hunt op some more."
!'Oh I giveaway aU the mditey I"
They stood aghast.
She painted the dreary room, the mother,
hollow-eyed and wasted, the girl - who had
Its goods right to the , comforts of life as
any of them, the hot sad letter of the pa
triot,. cold, hanger, and death that Wonid

CHRISTMAS IN GENIIANY
A writer in the 3letkodis4 discourses ou
customs in Germany. Apropos of the
holiday, he says:
None know better how to make "pro
omits" or to invent souvenirs. For a Ger
man not to know the birthdays and west
cling anniversaries of all his intimater
friends, and not to commemorate them by
some. token of affection, bOWever slight (tot
the value is nothing compared to the senti
ment), is a barbarism, a sacrilege. In large
families, these commemorations, reachins
from the grand -parent to'llte'yearling babe,
and extending out to all his dear friends.
keep up, of course, un almost continuous
cam cise of kindly attentions and fore
thought; and the Germans have' quite Un
iversally a peculiar tact of clothing these
beautiful little things with dramatic surprise,
so as to render the "manner" infinitely more
precious than the "matter." The lowliest .
villsge schoolmaster's birthday is known to
all his rustic flock, and his cottage on that
day is a shrine of pilgrimage to all the litth
feet of the hamlet. Flowers, books, cheeses,
loaves of bread, embroidered slippers, chick.
ens, geese, even young pigs, are showereu
upon him. lie is decked with bouquets,
and his humble home garlanded within and
without ; Le is addressed in original dog
gerel, and serenaded with music and danc
ng. And thus, also, fares the village Ina.
or ; and all these things are done so bearti-
so joyously, as to be 'evidently sponta
neous, never ceremonious--asmuch raja)
to the donors as to the recipients. Add to
these domestic occasions the public: featly(
days of the Church and the State, and you
can imagine that German life has holidays
enough. Christmas and similar days are
occasions of incredible festivities through
out Germany. Santa Claus has no bout
dominion.
CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY
Nowhere, perhaps, is the conventional
greeting, "A Merry Chri - sunan," more ap
propriate than in Norway. Here the Yule
or Christmas is celebrated as a national
least by all the inhabitants, from the poor
cotter to the wealthy Udaller.
In the mountain districts especially, this
one great holiday of the year is kept with a
heartiness and a primitive hospitality un
known in less remote regions: All work Is
suspended for thirteen days. The entrance
of every house is decorated. and the walls
of the kitchens are roughly adorned with
gaudy pictures, fantastically palmed in wat
er-colors. Throughout Christmas Eve an ,
Christmas Day the merry-making is entirely
domestic, rest] icted to the members of each
family and household. Not even a friendly
visit is paid. On the following days the
neighbors assemble at each other's hOtoes
by turns for carousing. No regular meal ie
provideJ, but open house in kept, the table
richly spread for all corners. No stranvez
is allowed to leave a house until he has par
taken of the strong Yule ale, which Is served
in true Norwegian fashion, cask following
cask in rapid succession. A sort of recita
tive is chanted from time to time:-
"Let die bowl pass quickly,
Joyfully let it circle
Round the table,
Nobly, richly spread.
On these occasions the servants sit at. the
same table with the host, his wife, and lain
ily. All are dressed in their gala attire of
rich colored cloth, trimmed - with gold and
silver braid, the women wearing caps and
aprons of brilliant hues. The oldest man

CHRIST-KINDEL
Al German correspondent writes :
"Why is it that your native- born Amer
jeans spell this word in a way to make it
not only lose its lovely sense, hut even to
make it entirely senseless? Wriss Krin
gin,' you spell it, and if nobody checks
you in this obnoxious orthography, a stu
pid, senseless word will receive the privi
lege of augmenting the English vocabulary,
when, by a very little care, it could be en
riched with a beautiful, friendly, and sensi
ble expression.
"Christ-Kindel means, The little .child
Christ ; Jesus, the little child ; 'L'Erifant
Jesuit,' as the French say. The evening
before Christmas the legend lets the child
visit the houses where there arc some good_
natured fellow-children.
"In France they have no Christmas tree;
but nevertheless the children know that
L'Enfant Toms' is coming, and they put
their shoes outside of their house doors, or
in the ashes of tne chimney, being certain
to find on the next morning a copper or
evert a silver or gold piece, in them.—
•L' Enfant J:ortiB,' they know, rewards in
this way their good behavior during the
year•
"In Germany ihere is not a house with
out a Christmas tree. On the night before
Christmas Christ-Kindel comes in the beat
room in the house, illuminates' the tree,
and puts on it and under, it whatever all
good children during the whole year hope
to get.
"The most lovely and innocent feast, in
fact the feast of thildren—this essentially
German feast having finally made the 'tour
de rnond'—is it not proper, while you
Americans have accepted the theory, to an-,
cept also the name, andpot spoil it by an
atrocious orthography? Is it not a great
deal better to soli Christ Kindel than,to
strangulate it into the nonsensical expres
sion of. Kriss Kringle 1'
. A Somensrrsums preacher-a
.collier—
adopted a very strange device to gain the
attention of his hearers, who perhaps were
of a spbfting turn. He gave out for a text:
"I can do all things." Ho then paused,
and, looking at the Bible keenly, said; in
his own native Somersetsbine dialect:
"What's that thee says, Pani—'l. can do sal
things?' I'll bet thee half-a-crown o' that."
So he took half-a-crown out of his pocket,
and put it on the book. "However," he
added, "let's see what the apostle has to say
for himself." Eio he read on the next worth:
"Through Christ that's atrengtbeneth me."
"Oh," says he, "if that's the terms of the
bet, I'm off." And he put the half-crown
into his pocketapin, and preached his ser
mon' on the power of Christian grace.

crowded the church when tbe pester tilled
the pulpit, In the fell &who( hid popularity,
when a pets' could not be hired In and price,
when any - salary would have been.paid to
him that he demanded, the minister disap
peared. Quite late on Saturday-AO:a A ti:o
vestry received a letter fiot the rector,:
dated off Sandy Hook. The I tter tendered
the rector's resignation, and ennenneed that
he had salted that day at noon in cite of the
Canard steamers for Europe. The parish
'were surprised and alarmed. Thb whole
Bair was a painful mystery. Here was a
dinister, settled over a flourishing
.and
libeial charge, With a flue chuck nod par
umage, a church crowded with, the •elite of

he might make, with the best singing In the
city, and all the popular appliances, who
mid suddenly resigned, and privately left
he country, to go no one knew where.
The story is a romance. The explanation
came after the minister had completed his
European tour. ' At midnight the drr bell
uf his patsonage was violently rung. do
ing to the window, the minister saw a luau
'tending on his door-stone, and he demand
ed his business. Fie came With a message,
be said, from a dying Woman. Hastily
iressing himeelf, the good man came to the
door and received the message. Just around
he block was a poor women, and she was
tying. Her only treasure was a babe. She
could not die in peace unless her babe was
tsptized. If his reverence would come to
her dying pillow, and administar limit *seri
mem, the-blessings of a poor dying woman '
would be his reward. It was much.to r s's,
and at midden too, but his great Master,
'oho loved the poor, would no. have dendal
-tich a request as this.
His humane and religious sympathies
* were. aroused, and the minister followed the
messenger. Common prudence would have
said, "Take a policeman with you.' Call
ups friend, find get him to bear part in ne
ceremony." But, dreaming of no peril, lie
went on his way to do, as be thought, his
'3faster's will. He was &rani in a dissolute
region, in a street notorious for its unclean
ness. The messenger knocked at a heavy
eate, that closed up a narroW, , dark alley.
It opened immediately, and slammed be
hind the parties like • prison door.— .
Through a long, narrow, and unwholesome -
entry, that seemed to be an alley- way cover
ed, the parties took their way. They
reused up a narrow staircase, broken and
rickety. Lewd women were passed on the
stairs. Dark-featured and yillaint.us-look-
Mg men teemed to crowd the place: - With
his sacred vestments on his arm, and his .
;took of service in hand, the minister was
ushered luta a dark and unwholesome look-
ing Mom. The door was closed behind him,
and locked. A dim candle on the table re
vealed the outline of a dozen persods, male
and female, of the most abandoned and
desp.rate Class. His inquiry for the •;i r k
'woman, and the child to be baptized, was
greeted by shbuts of laughter. lie knew
he NVIS a victim. He demanded the reason
for this outrage. He was informed that his
fiends who had invited him there wanted
money. His standing and character were
well known. He was in one of the notort
.nts houses in New York ;'his midnight visit -
to that place was well known, and could
easily be proved. If he paid one thousand
dollar!, all would be well. If not, his ruin
was certain. Instead of defying the vil
lains, calling on the police, or °mantling
in his eatigriegation, he thought he could
hnsb the matter up. He might have known
that it wietki ail come out, and that every
dollar heeisid would be used as evidence
against him, or LT means to extort more.
But he was thrOughly frightened ; would
rot have the thing known for the world :
his hand was in the lion's month, and he _
must draw it out as eerily as he could ; so
he gave his obligation to pay the money
promptly at noon the next day, which be
dirt. Of course new &mantis were made
from time to time, He was clogged in the -
streets. Suspicious-lookiug men stopped
to speak with him on the corners. Notori
ous men rang hie door-bell. . Mysterious -
notes, from ignorant, losi-bred, and vicious
persons,—as the spelling and language
showed,—came to his hands, and into tire
hands of his family. The poor, man was
nearly distracted. He paid away his own
money, and borrowed till iris reputation suf
fered. The threat of exposure hung over
him like an ominous sword held by a hair.
In a moment of desperation ire decided to
leave the country, which he did, to the as
tonishment and regret of his friends.
On his return from Europe, the rector
settled in Massachusetts, over a small rural
pariah. He was soon tracked to his coun
! try home. Black-mailing was renewed.
His old terror came upon him. Again Ife
acceded to the extortion. The police of
New York at length Cann to his relief. In
searching for other game, they came upon
proof that this minister was in the hands o't
black-mailers. Letters were found contain
ing information of his whereabouts, howato
terrify him, - what sums to demand, and at
what times his salary was due. lie was .
relieved from his pursuers. The large'
sums he bad paid were not refunded. His
spirits were broken, and he has never re
covered his position. I saw him not long
since in Canada. He holds a suboo.linate
position, and is preaching to a small parish.

eccentric old gentleman, John Henry Mar
tinstein, who kept an "Old Curiosity Shop"
in New Orleans, but who by his assiduous
attention to business had realized a hand
some fortune, has just died in that city.
One of the New Orleansjournals relates a
very remarkable Incident in his life, which ,
it says, many respectable 'citizens can vouch
for. Many years ago Mr. Martcnsteht was
taken quite sick and went off into a trance,
which so nearly resembled death that his•
demise was announced, sad all the prepars.-

placed in a handsome hearee, which, fol
lowed by a long train of mounters, was
proceeding toward the cemetery,:when the,.
uorses suddenly took fright, and ran away,
the coffin being .thrown violently to the
ground, and burst open. The surprise awl
fright of the spectators may be itnagluol
when from the coffin was seen to arise Mr.
Martinstein himself, still instinct with life,
and presenting in his burial rubs a sight
from which many ran headlong away. H,

being put away in so summary a mantic:,
