Clnlstmas Day in a Cabin in One el the back Counties sf Missouri. ' M. Quad" in the New Yerk Evening Express It used te be the saying in the army : " When a soldier is riding a hess, and the horse plays, the soldier is played." When tiiy mule played out after an all day's ride through a Missouri snow storm I dropped off into snow a feet deep, and mere coming, and felt a bit discouraged. It was in a back county, if there are any b.tek counties in that state, and the settlers had located their cabins just six miles apart te a red. When I set out te walk, and pull the mule le beet, he looked up at the sky, around at the weeds, and keeled ever in despair. I was trudging along in the snow ever my beet tops, thinking hew much easier it was te drown than te freeze te death, when the sound of a liddle reach ed mc between the snowflakes, and I dis covered that I had reached a six-mile cabin. "Come it: old hes," tang out a voice as I fell against the deer. When I opened it I was in a room about sixteen feet square the only one in the house The big iheplace gave light, and the furniture was homemade. A gaunt, long-haired pioneer sat en a shake down bed, playing the liddle; a gaunt, slim woman was dancing in the centre of the lloer, and several cliiMicn vere scattered around as spectators. "Keep it up, ole woman 'devening stranger ; be through in a minit ; lind a cheer go in for all yer worth, Jlary ! " called the liddlcr,as I shut the deer behind me. As I walked te the fne one of the chil dicn wheeled up a block of weed, and the father lemarked : "Pewiiful storm outside, s hanger keep them feet gwine, old lady you childieu wipe off your mouths and sing with mc : ' I vrc forty niile- lrein Pike, And the read iva1. lull et snow, ud the wind w.i gettiu' ready t ur te hump itbclfaud blew, "Faster new change oil' kick higher up with them hoofs round with ye hoe 'cr down ladies change that's all stranger, howdy !" I was made at home. "Wall, new, but this seems te be the hand of Pievidcnce," as I dicwuptethe tabic. "Here ye aie, snowed in, and here wc are check full of pervishuns aud hap piucss, and to-merrer is Christmas. Strang er, I'll show ye mere high steps, mere hoots and yells, mere music and fcastiu', and daucin', and gittin' up st'rs to-merrer thau ye ever saw in all yer born days i Oie woman, if this ain't the Lord's dein's, then I'm a petrified reptile, and never get religion.'' "Uen, yer right '." added the wife as she pouted out another cup of burnt corn cell'ee. " We is a hes-pit-ablc family. When we can't wheap'er up fur a ati anger en Thanksgiving or Christmas or Xew Year's nobody eke need try." After supper one of the boys took the liddle and the test of the family limbered uj for Christmas. When this process was ended it was time te go te bed, aud the old man said : "Xevr, then, ye kin see that we hain't bilin'iieh. Here's two beds, and nine of us. Me and the old woman take one, you take t'ether, and if the childieu can't keep warm aline the the I'll lien their bleed with a gad. Git right into bed, stianger, aud if the children git te lighlin' in the night heave yer beets at 'cm." , If the childicnget into a row I didn't hear them. It didn't seem as if I had slept an hour, hen the pioneer shook me by the shoulder and called out : "Say, stranger, daylight has arreve, and Chtislnias am here. Git up, and pre par te jine in the festivities.' The suew was four feet deep and still coming; but the piespect delighted my host, who cracked his heels together and exclaimed : "If this hain't Divine Providence biled down, then I don't like coon and corn. Yeu childieu, step that nuarrcling. Themas .Iclleisen, did you forget te say yer pray cis '. If you did, I'll wollep ye like blazes !"' Wc had corn meat, corn dodgers, apple ! sauce and eeU'ee for breakfast. Seats were found for the pioneer and myself, and the mother and children steed up. There was a long aud embairassing pause after we were'all leady, and finally the inau said : "Stianger, 1 was srivin" ye a chance te threw yei "self en a blessiu', but ye didn't tumble. (Jlil woman, reel eif suuthin' puity." Site closed her eyes and uttered the fel lowing as if she had lepeatcd it a thousand times : "New 1 lay mc down te sleep, and bless this meat and bread and sitss. We are thankful for what we've get, and net iealousef our betters. Keep us in geed health, make coons plenty, and cause us te escape the itch and measles. Amen !"' When the tabic had been clcaied away the pioneer and wife held a consultation in a corner, aud when it ended the man ap proached and asked : " Stranger arc yc vrillin te help us make this a whoepin' old day?" "Yes." "Geed ! As a family we are 9!) percent, en a rough aud tumble. I'm about twice yer size and heft, and it wouldn't be a fair show, but the old woman is a pretty even match, and she's just achin' te lay ye en yer back !" " But I never wrestled with a woman in my lite "' " Well, it's a geed fine te begin. She's wiry and quick, and she'll lay ye if she can. Stand right up, stranger, and de yer level best, te oblige me." I obliged. The situation was new aud novel, aud in twenty seconds I was thrown ever one of the shake-downs with a crash t!.at jarred the house. The women cracked her heels together and crewed lustily, the children laughed, and the pioneer helped me up with the explanation : " Stranger, she's practiced this for ten years, aud she'll dewa any man iu this county 'ecpt mc. I knewed hew it would be, but am much eblcegcd ler your great kindness. The jiull family will new swarm for their paternal dad." I retreated te a coiner, and the old woman aud her six children made a rush for the father. They were seven te one. They attacked him en all sides with great viaer, and were picked up aud Hung ten feet without being a bit discouraged. They finally get him foul and brought him down, aud as he lay en his back he observed : "Children, ye may well feel proud ever this. It shows that yc are healthy and full e' pluck, and that the itch has no biz ncss in a family like this." We had hickory nuts, popcorn, cider aud apples for lunch,and at dinner wc had bear meat, pumpkin pic, roast woodchuck, ap nlebutter and cinzcibread. After the meal a half-tame bear, about a year old, was brought in, the iloer cleared, and a grand hugging match took places. The old woman led off. Standing face te face with the cub, he hugged and she squeezed. It was nip and tuck. She sighed and coughed and he growled and strained ; but at last lie whined iu token that his ribs could stand no mere. Then the two big boys tackled him, but Bruin laid them both out. After the bear wc had a jumping match, in which the old woman beat the crowd. Then followed a target-sheet, in which every one beat me. Then the bear and the deg had a bout, aud the deg was used up. Iu the evening we had a dance, played old sledge and drank het cider, and as we get ready for bed the old woman read seven or eight lines from a battered Bible, and the man 'knelt down in all seriousness aud prayed : "This'cie day has dtawed te a close, and we are one peg nigher te the grave. A stranger cum along and we took him in. We've fed en the fat of the land, had a bustin' old time and expect te sleep like a lead of brick. Keep us from grewin pizen mean, continue our wkoepm' geed health, and icsarve plenty of room in heaven for us all. That's about all, enless ye want te put it into the mind of the stranger te offer me his watch even up for mv old mule. Amen !" A Connecticut ktery. A man in rather indiffeient ciicutn stauccs, surrounded by a large family, be ing entirely out of meat, had recourse te the shecpfeld of a neighbor (a wealthy farmer) for relief. The neighbor having a large fleck of sheen, did net perceive he had lest any until ene of the finest of the Heck, very laigc and fat, was mising, and counting his sheep he found he had lest several. Unable te account for this extraordinary less, he teselved a few nights after, te watch. About midnight, he observed an uncommon disturbance among the sheep, by the sudden appear ance of a man dressed iu disguise. Curi osity, as well as te observe the conduct of the person se as te lind him out, induced him te be still. In the fleck theie was a ram with which, it scorns, the man was in the habit of conversing, as if he had been the actual owner of the sheep. "Well, Mr. Ham,' said the nocturnal visitant, "I have come te buy another sheep ; have you any morn le sell?" Upen which he replied himself, as in the person of the ram : "Yes, I have sheep te sell." By this time the owner of the sheep per ceived him te be one of his neighbors. "What will you take for that fat wether?'' says the purchaser. " Four dollars," says Mr. Hani. "That is a very high price," says the man, "but, as you are se geed as te wait en me for the p ip, I think I will take him. Well, Mr. Kam," continues the honest sheep buyer, "let us see hew many sheep I've bought of you." 4 If I am net mistaken,'' says Mr. Ham, "this is the flfth." He then went te cast up the amount of the whole ; and, after giving Mr. ltam a polite invitation te call en him for the pay and bidding him geed night, led the wether home, while the owner lay laugh ing at the novelty of the scene, as highly gratified as if he had received ample pay for the whole. A few nights afterward, when he :-up-pescd his neighbor was nearly out, of mut ton, he caught the old ram and tied a little bag under his neck, aud placed a piece of paper between the horns, en which he wrote, in large letters : " I have cyme for my pay 1" Under the line he footed up the full amount of the live sheep, ex actly as his neighbor had done, a befeic related; he then took the ram te his neigh bor's house, where he tied him near his deer and went home. When the neighbor arose in the morning he was net a little surprised t- lind a sheep tied te his deer; but it is beyond words te express his astonishment when he found it was the old ram with which he had been dealing se extensively in mut ton, with his c n and en his forehead : and the amount of the live sheep in.nle out, as he had done a few nights befeic iu the person of the mm. Suffice it te say, he obtained the money, and after tying it. up iu the bag. and tear ing the paper fiem his horns, he set the ram at liberty, when he immediately ran home jingling his-.money, as if proud of having accomplished the object of his cirand, te the no small gratification of the owner. The Dearth or Revivals. New Yerk Independent. I One who reads carefully the rcceids of, the churches'iu our religious piessis struck ' by the dearth of the intelligence of icvivals all ever the country. It is tuie that wc de net expect the chief spiiitual liatvcati till a month or two later; but thus far) haidly a case of special awakening is j recorded in these denominational papjts j whose chief pleasuie il N te tepert tee work of Ged " Spirit. Th's is ccitaiuly a matter of concern, and is iu decided cen-j tiast with the fa'ts as they weie four en live years age. , This is partly explained, yet only partly, by the growing fait'ifulnes-. of the church te its children. Fer this the Sabbath -i.:..ii.. : 4i.',.,.,...; 'riwn wiwi arc responsible ler the religious training " 2 e .-? of our children, parents and teachers, mere and mere understand that they should seek the eaily conversion of these under their charge. Se accessions te the church arc new in very large part out of the Sunday school. These come net through special revival excitements, but from "the healthier ordinary methods of divine grace. Thcic is in very many of our churches in all that are trained te a proper sense of religious duty a constant accession, at almost every communion sea son, of young members. It is an expected thing that the children of the church shall be converted and make public profession of their faith. Pastors aud superintendents will constantly lepertiu the meetings of the executive efliccts of the church in which its interests are disciuscd that this child and that seems te be a Christian aud should be encouraged te come into the fel lowship of the church. Fer this reason, because they less need them, revivals arc net se much looked for in our best-disciplined churches as they wet e in the dajs when one "was expected every seven yeais a period when the church was expected, like a comet, te blaze out into sudden .brilliancy and activity as it approached its central Sun, and then as suddenly te dis appear from view, while drawing into its chilled anil frozen mass the train that had followed it. We are new learning that a church should rather shine like a planet, with a steady, unditnmed effulgence. But this does net cover the whole' duty of the church. It net only has te care for its own household, but te convert these who arc net regular attendants te its or dinances. The field is the world, and net the few families of theso already gatheted in. And, as things new go, the outsiders are net easily reached by these ordinary means of grace. They de net go te church or te Sabbath school. They wait for some snecial excitement or attraction which shall draw them within the sound of the gospel. Fer such as these it is proper and it new seems necessary, that wc should work by ether means ; that there should be special evangelistic services, such as the early apostles nelu every where, te compel them te come in, that Ged's house may be full. It will be most unfortunate if our churches de net recognize this necessity and' provide for it. In our East ern states there has been no general re- vival interest since the campaigns of Meedy and Sankey. Our Presbyterian and Congregational churches have had the past year very small additions, tuose in the Presbyterian church being less than in any ether year since the reunion. Statis tics of the Congregational churches iu Connecticut, lately prepared, show that the additions have been hardly greater than the losses by death and removals. These facts should arouse our churches, before closing this week of prayer, te re newed consccratieu and effort. The church cannot stand still. It must go forward, or it falls back. Let our prayer be: "O Lord ! reviye thy work." Geerge Eliet's, Life. The Insanity or her Mubaml, Mr. Cress A Letter from Herbert spencer. The notices of the Londen press upon the death of Geerge Eliet add little te what has been published here. The A'r antiner tells of the insanity of her husband' of which no previous public montieu lias bceu made. It says : " It seems but littic mere than a year since wc lest Geerge Henry Lewes, her first and most trusted counselor and companion, aud hardly a twelve month since the world learned with, perhaps, koiue degree of surprise, that she had married a gentleman of the Stock Exchange named Cress. While they were en their wedding trip it is no ti'-e new tocenceal the sad facts he lest control ever himself at Venice, and threw himself fi em the balcony of their resi dence. Happily, the sea aud net the ground received him and he survived, but only te be placed in a maisen tie. mute. Bravely Mrs. Cress set herself te f.icp her new lonely life, but the struggle, net sur passed in intensity by that of any of her heroines, did net last long, and she has new gene, at the age of CO, te the rest that must have come te her as a relief." The following letter from Herbert Spen cer was published in the Louden ifaiet : " Though, as one among these intimate fi lends most shocked by her sudden death, I would willingly keep silence, I feel that I cannot allow te past a serious error con tained in your biographical notice of Geerge Eliet. A positive form is there given te the belief which has been long current, that I had much te de with her education. There is net the slightest foundation for this belief. Our friendship did net com mence until 1851, a date several years later than the publication of her transla tion of Strauss, and when she was already distinguished by that breadth of culture and universality of power which have since made her known te all the world." The Slimdard gives some reminiscences of her eaily literary life. " Fer 20 years," it says, the name of Geen;c Eliet has been before the public. Adam Bcde was pub lished in 1809, and the only clue te its au thorship was the announcement en the title page that it came from the same pen as the Scenes et Clerical Life,' which had previously appeared in IHackicoed's Mag azine. Several claimants te the honor of the production presented themselves. Such i in pesters are the common-places of literary history. Sir Walter Scott was asked by an acquaintance te congratulate him en his identity with the 'Great Un known,' who had written 'Waverly.' The masterpiece of Akcnside, Sheridan and Thompson were appropriated by Grub street highwaymen. Heed had some diffi culty in establishing the fact that he wrote 'The Seng of the Shirt,' and mere recently there were thrce candidates in the field for the laurels which belonged te Mr. Lynn Linten as the author of 'Jeshua Davidsen.' The pretender in the case of 'Adam Bede, whom it ultimately became necessary for Messrs. Blackwood te expose, was a Mr. Jeseph Liggins. of Xueaten. Strangely enough he had his supporters, and a Warwickshire clergyman declared that in his part of the world every one net only knew that Mr. Lig gins was the creator of ' Adam Bede,' but. could identify perfectly well the chief characters. It was net for some little time afterward that the nanie of Geerge Eliet became generally known, and it was still later that it transpired that the owner of the non de plume was a lady.' An Angel's Visit. Dctieit.Frce Press. A coleied man named Bounty Smith, living up en Auteiuu street, was before a iustice of the peace yesterday foicneon I charged with the larceny of lifty cents' worth of lire weed from a white man liv- i ing next deer.
