LITTLE BENNY , AND SANTA: CLAUS.
• •
I, had told him, Christmas morning,
As he eat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stocking, •
Stuffed as full as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With a face demure and mild,
That old, Santa Claus, who filled them,
Did not lOve a naughty child.
"But we'll be good, won't we, moder 7 "
And from off my lap he slid,
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stocking hid;
While I turned me to the table,
Where a tempting goblet stood,
Brimming high with dainty egg-nog,
sent me by a neighbor good.
But the kitten there before me,
With hie white paw nothing loth,
Bat, by way of entertainment,
Lapping off the shining froth;
And in not the gentlest humor
At the loss of ouch a treat,
/ confess I rather rudely
Thrust him out into the street.
Then bow Benny's blue eyes kindled!
Gathering up the precious store
Be bad busily been pouring
In hie tiny pinafore;
With a generous look that shamed me,
Sprang be from the carpet bright,
Showing, by his mien indignant,
All a baby's sense of right.
"Come back, Varney!" called he loudly,
As he held his apron white—
" You shall have my candy wabbit l"
But the door was fast and tight !
So he stood abashed and silent,
In the centre of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Bent on me and on the door.
Then, as by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran be to the fire,
And eagerly, while his bright eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher,
In a brave, clear key he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf,
"Santa Cuus, come down the chimney,
Make my moder 'have herself !"
"I will be a good girl, Benny,"
Said'l, feeling the reproof;
And I straight recalled poor Harney,
Mewing on the gallery roof.
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they gambolled 'neath the live oaks
Till the dusky night mime down.
In my dim fire-lighted chamber
Barney purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me
Knelt to say his evening player ;
"God bless fader—God bless =ler—
God bless sister "—then a pause;
And the sweet young lips devoutly
Murmured, " God bless Santa Cans."
He is sleeping; brown and silken
Lie the ashes, long and meek,
Like caressing, clinging shadows
Oa his plump and peachy cheek;
And I bend above them weeping
Thankful tears—oh, undefiled!
For a woman's crown of glory,
For the blessings of a child.
A Yankee among Aristocrats.
Not many years ago it happened that a
young man from New York visited London.
His father being connected with several of
the magnates of the British aiistocraoy,
the young American was introduced to the
fashionable circles of the metropolis, where,
inconsequence of his very fine personal
appearance, or that his father was reported
to be very rich, or that he was a new figure
on the stage, he attracted much attention,
and became quite the favorite of the ladies.
This was not at all relished by the British
beaux, but as no very fair pretext offered
as a rebuff, they were compelled to treat
him civilly. Thus matters stood When an
Hon. M. P. and lady made a party to ac
company them to their country-seat in
Cambridgeshire, and the American was
among the invited guests. Numerous were
the devices to which these devotees of
pleasure resorted, in order to kill that old
fellow who will measure his hours, when
he ought to know they are not wanted, and
the ingenuity of every one taxed to re
member or invent something novel.
The Yankees are proverbially ready of
invention, and the American did honor to
his character as a man accustomed to free
dom of thought. He was frank and gay,
and entered into the sports and amuse
ments with that unaffected enjoyment
which communicated a part of his fresh
feelings to the most worn-out fashionables
in the party. His good nature would have
been sneered at by some of the proud
cavaliers had he not been such a capital
shot, and he might have been quizzed had
not the ladies, won by his respectful and
pleasant civilities, and his constantiatten
lions in drawing-rooms and saloons, always
showed themselves his friends. But a
strong combination was at last formed
among a trio of dandies to annihilate the
American. They proposed to vary the
eternal waltzing and piping by the acting
of charades and playing at various games,
and having interested one of those inde
fatigable ladies who always carry their
point in a scheme, it was voted to be the
thing.
After some charades had been disposed
of, a gentleman begged leave to propose
the game called Crowning the ,Wisest.
This is played by selecting a judge of the
game, and three persons, either ladies or
gentlemen, who are to contest for the
crown by answering successively the vari
ous questions which the rest of the party
are at liberty to ask. The one who is de
clared to have been the readiest and
happiest in his answers receives the crown.
Our American, much against his incli
nation, was chosen among the three candi
dates. He was aware that his position in
the society with which he was mingling,
required of him the ability to sustain him
self. He•was, to be sure, =treated .with
distinguished attention by his host and
hostess, and generally by the party, but
this was a favor to the individual, and.not
one of the company understood the
character of republicans or appreciated
the republic. The three worthies had_ ar
ranged that their turn for him should fall
in succession, and he be the last. The first
one, a perfect exquisite, and with an air of
most ineffable condescension, put this ques
tion :
If I understand rightly the govern
ment of your country, you acknowledge
no distinction of rank, consequently you
have no court standard for the manners: of
a gentleman ; will you favor me with in
formation where your best school of polite
ness is to be found ?'
For your benefit,' replied the Ameri
can' smiling calmly, I would recommend
the Falls of Niagara ; a contemplation of_
that stupendous wonder teaches humility:
to the proudest, and human nothingness to
the vainest. It rebukes the trifler, and
arouses the most stupid ; in short, it turns
men from their idols, and when we ac
knowledge that God nly is Lord, we feel
=EMME=M
that men ae' s o>ir minas. A true ohristian
is alwayspolite'. • • •
There was a'-murmur -among the audi
ence, Whethei appLittsii or, censure, the
American could-not determine, as he did
not• • chiloiti to bettay any 'anxiety, for the
result-by-asenitiny of the feces which
knew were bent on him; -
The seetind'now proposed his question.
He 'affected to be . a. great- politician,- was
- moustaished. and ithiskiged like a diplo
matist, whioh station he hid been coveting.
His voice, was blind, but his emphasis was
very. signifioant
Should I visit the -United States, what
subject.iith which I eniUotiversant would
most interest your people and give me an
opportunity ofenjoying their conveniationV
Yon must Maintain, as yon do at pres
ent, that a •monarchy is the . wisest, 'the
purest, and the. est government Which the
skill of man over devised, and that a
democracy is utterly barbarous My
countrymen are proverbially fond of argu
ment, and will meet you on both these
questions, and, if you choose, will.argue
with you to the end of your life.'
The murmur' was renewed, but still
without any decided expression of the
feeling which his answer had been received.
The third then rose from his seat, and
with an assured voice which seemed to
announce a certain triumph.,ssicl : ,
I require your decision-on- a delicate
question, bto the rules of the pastime
warrant it, and also a candid answer.—
You have seen the American and English
ladies ; whioh are die fairest?'..,
The young republican glanced around
the circle. It was bright 'with flashing
eyes,- and the sweet .smiles that wreathed
many a lovely lip might have wbn a less
determined patriot from hie.allegianee. --
E[l3 did not hesitate, though he-bowed low
to the, la:dieti as he answered
Thestandard of female- beauty is, I
believe,tllowed to be, the _power of excit
ing admiration and begetting love- in our
sex, and consequently- those ladies who
are most admired, and beloved, and re
spected by. the gentlemen, must be the
fairest. Now I assert confidently, that
there is not a nation on earth where woman
is so truly beloved, so tenderly cherished,
so respectfully treated, as in, the. Republic
of the United States, therefore the Amer
ican ladies are the fairest. But,' he again
bowed low, if the ladies, before whom I
now have the honor of expressing pay opin
ion, were in my country we should think
them Americans.'
The applause was enthusiastic, and after
the mirth had subsided so as to allow the
judge to be heard, he directed the orown
to be given to the Yankee.
THE YOUNG CARRIER :
A NEW YEAR'S STORY
Snowing, snowing, snowing—door steps
and pavements covered with the snow, and
still (as the nursery legend runs) the old
woman en the chimney tops kept on most
perseveringly picking her white chickens,
until all the earth was wrapped in one un
distinguishable color.
There were little feet abroad that night ;
you could not hear their patter, but you
could have seen the print of their little
toes, as they pressed the chilly carpet, on
their homeward track. Let us follow them ;
the little boys (for they were the owners
of the bare toes) stopped in front of a
house, through whose windows bright
streams of light shot out into the cheer
less night.
Ah ! Willie,' said the eldest, don't it
make you feel warm just to look at those
windows? When I'm rich I'll have a big
light all over my house, every night, just
to make poor. folks feel glad when they go
by. And Willie, do you know that I think
God lights up the sky more for us poor
people than the rich? Why, they can't
see the stars when they are in bed, the
think curtains keep 'em out '• but you
know that chink in the wall close to our
heads at home—well, every night there's
the most beautiful bright star shining right
straight through it, and sometimes when
we havn't earned anything all day, and
mother hasn't any supper for us, I go to
bed with something choking in my throat,
and if I can only See that star I feel hap
ph for it seems to say; ,Brighter.days
are coming, Charley ; God will take care
of you."
Their conversation was brought to a
close by the lively strains of a piano„ which
was at that moment heard in the_ house,
while merry tongues and feet kept time to
the music. ,0, said Willie, ,I do believe
they are dancing, climb up and see.'—
Charley was about obeying the command,
by dexterously swinging himself npon the
railing, when, with a- sudden ery, he re
linquished his h01d,. , Oh ! Will, Will, I've
dropped.my quarter in the snow.'
Well might they be pardoned for crying,
when, after groping about for some min
utes, the Natoli proved unsuccessful, for
it was a hard earned pittance ; they had
shoveled three loads of coal into a mean
man's cellar, and he thought they were
such little bogs 43. quarter was pay enough,
and so, as he had saved five cents, he
treated himself to an extra cigar after din
ner. The lamentations of the boys soon
attracted to the windows the merry occu
pants of the parlor, and there, flattened
against the window-panes, were three lit
tle-noses,
while six little. eyes,.shaded by
six littlehands, were peering out into the
darkness •to discover the cause of such
woeful sounds. At the same moment Mr.-
Carlton (tee owner of the mansion 'and of
the aforesaid hands, eyes, and. noses,) ap
proached the steps, and, after a few mo
ment's conversation with the b4s, sent
them into- the . kitchen ; and, upon- opening
the, front d'opr, was overwhelmed. 44 such
exclamations as , Oh, papa!' In the
snow - !' ' , Lost their money !' Such a
cold night
g WhOw !' he cried, g what a tempest in
a teapot. I suppose it is, no greater hard
ship to lose money on a cold •night than
on a warm Arne, bat get out .of the way
until I shake my coat or you will all be

when in a few minutes he, was., seated
his easy chair beside the fire,- whe is ex

and see them,' and she whispered in his
ear, 4 I will give it to them, 'papa.'
The boys, -under the _care of kind old
Betty, had made a comfortable supper, and
were about leaving as the children and
their father entered the apartment.—
Well, boys,' said Mr. Carlton, my little
girl, feeling very sorry for your loss, has
concluded to replace it out of her Christ
mas box,' and as Alice laid the money in
Charley's hand, he added gaily, you are
sure you wont regret it, Ally ?' Oh !
no, papa,' was the ready response, 'for
you know God loveth the cheerful giver.'
The boy looked into those clear blue
eyes, felt the touch of that soft hand,
heard the musical cadence of the childish
voice, and henceforth another star arose
in the sky of his 'heart, as bright, and -yet
as unattainable as that in the dome above
him.
A day or two after this occurrence,
Betty bustled into Mrs. Carlton's sitting
room in a state of unusual excitement for
her, for the good woman had turned the
hill of life, and her speech and movements
were not usually of the energetic sort ;
but on the present occasion she had a
story to tell, and so without any preface
she began with :
I've been about to see the boys, ma'am,
that were here t'other night. I knowed
that one Miss Alice gave the money to,
with his splendid black eyes, was no poor
white folks' child. There's a regular story
about him, ma'am. He's a regular gentle
man's son, and his nurse stole -him away
when he was little.'
Oh! Betty,' said Mrs. Carlton, laugh
ing, the day has long gone by since
babies used to be stolen away. I suspect
the woman was imposing upon you.'
Indeed, ma'am,' answered Betty, with
as much indignation in her tone as she
could feel toward her gentle mistress, I
believe it's all true, and I hope I may live
to see the day when the boy gets his rights;
but won't you go ma'am, and see the
woman yourself V
Perhaps I may,' said Mrs. Carlton,
but home cares and home duties soon
effaced all recollection of either the boys
or Betty's wonderful story.
We must beg our readers, in thought,
to glide gently down the stream of time,
and stand once more with us in Mr. Carl
ton's parlor. A change has passed over
all. The free and easy settee of earlier
days has given place to chairs and lounges
of elaborate and costly workmanship, and
the little girls we left there, one winter's
night, are lovely maidens now, just blush
ing into womanhood. It was New Year's
day, that day of all the year when women
are supposed to pay most attention to the
becoming in their toilettes ; but no myster
ies of dress were needed to adorn sweet
Alice Carlton. She stood beside her
mother's ohair, clothed with the beauty of
her own pure spirit, and turning ever and
anon from the group of idle flatterers who
filled the room, and who fluttered around
the more queen-like sister, to gaze into
the street below, where, over tree and rail
ing, the frost-king had thrown many a
beautiful garland in honor of the day:
Suddenly she exclaimed, in a low tone,
Mamma ! here is the same young Carrier
who came last year; you know his sad,
dark eyes have haunted us ever since as
something more than half familiar. Do
look at him, Col. Mowbray,' addressing an
elderly gentleman who stood near. At
that moment the Carrier ran up the steps,
and Alice throwing up the window ex
claimed, ' I will take your paper,' (pardon
her, elderly ladies, she was only sixteen)
at the same time placing a piece of gold in
his hand.
The young man gazed for an instant,
and then with a graceful inclination of the
head replied, ' thanks, fair lady, you know
that God 13veth a cheerful giver.'
With a blush of pleasure and surprise
Alice closed the window, and turning to
her mother said, , oh ! mamma, I know him
now ; he is the same boy who lost his
money on our pavement years ago when I
was a little girl, and Betty used to say'—
Are you ill, Colonel?' interrupted Mrs.
Carlton, turning to the gentleman before
alluded to, who had turned deadly pale,
and was leaning on the back of his chair
for support.
,Oh ! no, a mere trifle, madam ; but
my nerves have been somewhat shaken of
late, and the peculiar expression of that
young man's face set my busy fancy to
work.' ,My dear sir,' said Mrs. Carlton,
if not too painful to yourself, do tell us
this singular history of yours ; my hus
band intimated that it was one of deep
interest.' The parlor being at this time
free from visitors, the Colonel seated him
self and began his recital:
6 Some twenty years or more ago, we
had living with us, in our Southern home,
a mulatto woman, named Cynthia and her
son Alfred. The woman was my wife's
maid, at of course enjoyed all the privi
leges and immunities of that favored class
of servants. When our little boy was born,
Cynthia attached herself to him with that
excess of devotion which I think is rarely
found, save among the colored nurses of
the South. Her life and love seemed to be
bound up in our son, and her own, who
was the veriest imp of mischief that ever
tormented a family. Aif. was always in
trouble, and always did Cynthia's tears
and my wife's pleadings prevail to prevent
his being punished. 'She loves our child
so well,' was an unanswerable argument.
At last, when our Charley was between
three and four years old, forbearance
ceased to be a virtue. Alf's pranks and
his constant escape from punishment, were
exerting a most pernicious influence upon
the other servants, and in spite of his
mother's entreaties I banished him to my
brother's plantation, a few miles removed
from us. But no explanation would con
vince Cynthia that he was not sold, and
that after a few• years of kind and firm
discipline he should return to us. She
brooded over her loss, and though out
wardly the same
,devoted servant she was
nourishing in her heart a deep plan of
revenge, which has cast its blighting sor
row over our whole lives.
About this time a dear friend of my
wife's being near death, she went to spend
a few days with her. I accompanied her,
leaving our dear son in Cynthia's care ;
but little did we think that the sweet face
which lighted up with joy at the promise
of a speedy return, would never more be
seen within our darkened dwelling.
When we returned, Cynthia and our
boy were gone, in company with some of
the servants froma neighboring, plantation.
I suppose .amore successful escape was
never accomplished; for, all tlie searches
drat, have . been made, and thd relatifs
~::.
offered, have hitherto only resulted in
bitter disappointment.
g And now,' said Colonel Mowbray,
rising and pacing the floor, the wound
has been torn open afresh by the receipt
of a letter from Canada, received a' 'few
days since, containing the dying confession
of a colored woman named Cynthia, to the
effect that she stole my son and brought
him as far as this city, where (the child
impeding the progress of the fugitives)
she left. him in the care of a poor widow
woman, with a small amount of money,
and the promise of sending for him when
safely arrived at their destination. And I
am now in that nervous state of agitation
that when the face of any young man
about the age my son would have been
presents itself, 1 am almost unmanned."
Alice had not waited for the Colonel to
finish his story, but had darted from the
room, and now returned bringing our old
friend Betty by the hand, and pushing her
into a chair, said : g Now, Betty you mast
tell this gentleman all you can remember
about that little boy.'
4 La, dear,' said she, it's so long ago,
and my old head gets confused ; but I do
recollect that the old woman, Miss Evans,
said that one time late at night some
colored folks stopped at her house, and
they had a beautiful little boy with them
dressed ever so fine, and they was afeared
the officers was after them, and so the
woman who had the care f him coaxed
her to keep him, and promised to send for
him soon; or, if she didn't, l s father
would come for him. She slid he was a
rich man, and would pay her a great deal
of money. Miss Evans said she always
felt sorry for the poor slaves that was
mania' off, so she promised not to tell on
'em, and in a little while she got to loving
the child like her own, and he had helped
to take care of her ever since he had
earned anything. They've moved away
from where they used to live, and that is
all I know about them.'
And that young carrier you saw this
morning was that little boy, and your son,
Colonel Mowbray,' said Alice Carlton,
taking both his hands and mingling with
his her tears of sympathetic joy.
New Year's evening closed upon a hap
py circle around Mr. Carlton's hearthstone.
The father sat beside his new-found son,
for we may be sure no time had been lost
discovering the widow's abode, and the
idontification had been made perfect by
her producing the little bundle of clothes
which Charles wore on the night of his
arrival at her house, on which the letters
C. M. were carefully worked. And he
was a son of whom any father might feel
proud; he had been mercifully kept from
the temptations of a large city, and thanks
to our common school system, aided by a
naturally fine intellect, he had acquired
an education of which many an addlepated
fop of fashion might be proud. All were
eagerly discussing their share in the eluci
dation of the mystery. ' But, I think,'
said Mr. Carlton, the honor must be
equally divided between Alice and Aunt
Betty, their love of the sentimental and
marvelous enabling them to retain inci
dents we, more common-place people, had
forgotten. think it was the utterance
of a mystical sentence which passed be
tween Alice and Charles,' said the Colonel,
laughing; then added, in a graver tone,
it was one of God's' good providences,
and the rest of our lives must show forth
our gratitude.'
One more scene, and we have done. It
was October, glorious October, the very
queen of mouths, and, right royally she
came, appareled in her robe of many colors,
and the balmy breeze that fluttered in her
train waved the bridal vail that shaded
Alice Carlton's cheek, as leaning on her
father's arm she entered the vestibule of
old St. James' Church. Three years have
developed her budding, and she stands
before us the realization of a poet's
dream ; at least so thinks Charles Mow
bray, as after months of travel in a classic
land he returns to win the bright star of
his boyhood, and now stands with his fond
parents to receive her hand at God's own
altar. No regret now, Ally,' said Mr.
Carlton, gaily, as the young pair stepped
into their carriage at the church door.—
'No fear, air,' replied Charles, you must
remember our Alice is a cheerful giver."
Kind patrons, we take up the refrain of
our story, and bid you remember that
God loveth a cheerful giver.'

We call the attention of oter yearly club subscribers to the
fact that their:snbecriptions will expire during December
and January ensuing. We should like very much if our
campaign and' yearly subscribers would renew their sub
scriptioin and age their influence to extend the circulation
of the Weekly Patriot and Union. The terms at which we
offer it. to clubs are as ' ow as any paper containing the
same amount of reading matter published in the Union.
In view of the existing state of affairs, there will be an
exciting time at. Washington, and it is not unlikely that
we shall have a.lively time at the State Capital. At the
former we shall have a reliable correspondent, and at the
latter competent reporters to give the'Legislative news and
all other occurrences worthy of note. We shall also give
our usual compendium of foreign and domestic news, and
spare no' pains to make the Patriot and Union one of the
best (as it Is the cheapest) family journals in the State.
Hoping that our friends will make some exertions to ex
tend the circulation of the paper, either by clubs or other
wise, we call attention tothe

this liberal patronage has induced the Author ithil-Tub•

NEW AND SUPERIOR ILLUSTRATIONS:I
Thus improved and perfected, it is believed that no other
Universal History can compare with this, for the 'fullness
and accuracy of its statements, the convenience of Ito ar
rangement, the clearness, simplicity and - clignityl '-of its
style, for the consequent interest which it excites, and the
valuable instruction which it imparts. or for the drirablUty
and neatness of its mochanical execution.
The Wort: hereafter will be Annually Revised, mid can
therefore at all times be relied upon, as cantaintlig the
latest important events connected with the progress of
mankind, in Politics. Society, Arts, Sciences—lh all - that
belongs to Civilization—and in a form convenient,- .cheap
.
and durable.
. 4 * It is believed that this work, by Mr. Goodrich, will
be very acceptable to the whole reading public. This is
the result of years of toil and labor, assisted id his re•
searches by several Scholars of known ability, and has
been got up at a great expense by the Proprietori No
pains have been spared in the execution of, the Mipstra
tics and Maps, which are entirely new, prepared by the
distinguished author expressly for the work. Indeed, all
the other historical writings of Mr. Goodrich sink into
insignificance, when compared with this, the reeultof his
riper and maturer years. It Is admitted that Ons.Hun
dre4 Dollars could not purchase the same matter'ill any
other shape ; and the Publishers. confidently expect that,
in consideration of the great literary value of the work,
the large sum expended in preparing it'for the . preps, and
the exceedingly moderate price at whiCh it is offered, that
it will be favorably received by every lover of good books.
The demand is now so great that it is difficult . to keep
up the supply. Many of our first scholars, dlibes, and
gentlemen, who have examined the work, have given it
their unqualified' approbation and commendatione•Which it
richly deserves, ea it is the finit of years of lahottof the
dietinguished,author, and of great wet to itartigirbitors.
We state positively that this Work is not, and.will not
be for sale in any bookstore in the country. It Ls, offered
only by our Soliciting Agents, one of which , ie' the die.
