' Twelve bdantifully-grown pines, each 1(f. feet in height, were chosen for the. Christmas trees and • narefudy carried down into the village. I, with some others, was engaged. in cuffing branches of "Weiss- Winne," white pine ' for the garlands and bowers with which the grand saloon was to be`embellished. ' When each had collected as large a bundle as he could, conveniently trans port, it was laid upon' the sledge, and 'the owner, mounting on the top, started off down the mountain's side, guiding ft with his'feet, and gliding among the trees, over ruts and stones, with many a jolt and, upset, till the road becoming clear we went off at the rate of about forty miles an hour, - The whole` yard was strewn with the branches,and we,the favored autocrats of the first class, were ohd3en to make the garlands, of which we required no less than-380 -feet. Thus, what with winding garlands, cutting fresh branches, and collecting bright-green Moss to lay round the base of the trees, and to entwine with the garlands. four or five days quickly passed, during which time we were no slight (Meets of envy to the younger, or stupider, part of the community that were not included among the "First.' But the evenings brought a pleasure and a rioting amusement that was shared by all alike, For gradually the boxes and Chests of Christmas presents, sent by fond mammas and papas, began to arrive in the post-town, Rudolstadt, -whence they had to be fetched _by Barop's own man,. andirorii time: immemorial; .it, had been ,the custom in Keilhaw for the boys to assemble st the door : and endeavor to gain possession of, their boies„ which of course were opened and put`in the places devoted to each in the grancl - saloon where the' 'Bescheerung" took place. As soon as the cry" Friedrich kommt!" Frederick is coming (Barop's coachnian),was heard.re-echoing through the house, one and all rushed. to the door, which was already de fended by Barop and Schaffner, one of the masters, and eon-in-law of. Barop's,- each armed with a tremendous birch-broom, which they bad to Wield , with Unflagging energy'and adroitness on the backs and shoulders of the attacking party. Great wag the glee and deafening,the, uproar when two, or three of of the strongest fell over an unusually large chest and gained a temporary possession of it. But it was a very temporary one indeed, for Barop, a Alan 6 feet 6 inches in- height, and proportionately inuscular,soon rained down a shower of birch on the devoted backs like a hail-storm, and quickly raised the Beige. Alter the boxes had once been brought in, the grand saloon was - forbidden ground to any one except the , old masters and one or two of the begs' who.were old Keilhauers, and were required to assist in ar ranging the presents and writing the names of the various recipients on strips of paper, which were then laid in each respec tive place. Christmas Eve arrived. Contrary to the usual custom throughout - Germany. - ofhaving the "Bescheerung, ' lighting-up the tree and, making the present on the 24th, we in Keilhau bad it on the Christmas morn at • 7 o'clock. But on ' the_ preceding evening we were regaled with the national dish for that day, to wit, herring salad, consisting of —pickled herring, potatoes sliced thin like cucumber, endive and onions,all mixed up together with the due proportions of oil, vinegar, popper, and salt. After supper we went up to our desks and cupboards, and took whatever presents we intended to make our comrades or masters to Barop and Schaffner, for them today in their respective places,and then with joyful antici pations of the morrow, "off and to bed," as honest Pepys hath it. Long beloro the first grey streak .of morn ing appeared in the cold eastern sky we were awake and awaiting the signal for rising, which was given by Barop and Schaffner singing a kind of carol, accompanied by the guitar, on which Schaffner was an accom plished virtuoso : "Aut, auf. ihr &awn Was sehlaft ihr so lang? Die Nacbt tst voriiber, Der Morgen brieht an Auf, ant and singt, Frohlocket dem Herrn Dae Christtrindlein bringt, Each was atm beseheeren." No lingering in bed, and cats, pawing the frozen water on Christmas morning. In half the time ordinarily spent in getting ready we finished our tollet,and assembling in the hall; were marshalled two and two in procession. Then the doors of the saloon were thrown open, unfolding a scene to the eye, compared to which the "vista del Paradise" in the Six tine Chapel at Rome is a miserable failure. Twelve large trees were ranged round the room, reaching from the tables, to the ceiling, and two bowers, devoted to Barop's and FrObers families on each side, all ablaze with tapers andglittering with rosy-cheeked ap ples, gilt walnuts and all kinds of bright colored ornaments. The windows - Were cov ered in with transparencies painted by a celebrated painter;once a pupil of the insti tution, and, though dimmed by the black of the countless tapers,, flooded the whole scene when morning dawned with a rich varied color, as in some Gothic cathedral. And as we entered the saloon' a Chfistnaas hymn arose hem the choir, which was concealed behind an artificial shrubbery of pinea and juniper bushes,and walking slowly round the room till we formed a circle, the, chaplain took his place in the midst and offered up the morning prayers with an extra oration spe cially improvised for`the occasion, to which however, lam bound to say, our attention was not much directed. As soon as the much-wished-for Amen was pronounced, the "Gratulation"began, the Christmas congratu lations, and" every one, from the oldest , to the youngest, hurried to find-his place and see what the Christkindlein had brought him. Each soon found out his especial nook, and long before the first flush of excitement was over the pale morning grey began to steal in, changed by the transparencies ,from its cold, cheerless appearance into a rich flood of golden light, becoming still more light and joyous when further illuminated by the cheerful, gladsome faces of the delighted ju veniles. It was a scene enough to have converted any misanthrope and pessimist that ever lived: not even excepting old Schopen hatter. , The dark-green pines, the gar lands and bowers, the snowy cloths, the glit tering presents, the bushels upon bushels of apples, nuts and peara, and above all, the joyous assemblage of youthful faces, all tem pered by the dim, mystic light, exercise- an influence upon the wind none can resist. Such is Christmas in Germany, the land of pines, the land where the ,monklet, Lathe; assembled his childrqp around'thellrat Christ mas tree, whose lights shed a purer and a truer'doctrine throughout the wide lands - of the earth than ever Since the first days after Calvary.—London Society. - --Our best wishes to out. thousands of frlends e , for many a Merry.

Miring a very inclement night - a, numberof years ago, a family. consisting of an old man, a bright boy of eight, and a little dark-haired girl of six years. old, landed from the Rialto, a large ship, at one of the wharves in the great city of New York. It was plainly to be seen from the features and general appearance of the three, that they came from the sunny land of Italy. The old man with keen eyes anxiously watched the faces of the by standers as if in fear, and held the boy and girl firmly to his side. Be quickly wended his way through a 'crowd such as usually block up the piers at the arrival of a large foreign vessel. Leaving the crowd and wending his way through many a narrow and crooked street, though in such a direct manner that illy con trasted with the Idea that he was a stranger, be finally stopped In front of a miserable rickety building, whose flaming light at the front door, struck the passer-by at once that it was a tavern- Speaking a few words, partly in Italian, and partly lu English, toir squalid woman in attend ance, she soon procured for them a coarse meat; after which he took the children by the hand, led them up a flight of emirs and into a small dirty room provided with a bed and two chairs. and bade them "go to eleep and dream of Italy." Being Urea and weary with thelong walk,after their close confinement on ship-board, they soon sank Into a (inlet slumber. • In a. few days afterwards the old Italian brought the children to , thiladelphia, and took lodging with another Italian in the lower part of the city. GiI:MU:MI and Lconora,tho boy and girl,were then provided with a violin and tambourine, and were forced to spend the day, and ,oftentimes until ton. o'clock at night, playing music before the large stores and hotels. ' and creeping back oiled hun gry, and always tired and weary to. their rude bed; and eftentimes, when they did not bring) as large amount, ,of mono , home as the old man thought they should, they were either whipped or sent tolted without supper. • • • r The olkman, owned a hand organ and used. to play it aFthe corners of the streets. pretending he was blind, and made a good deal of money, which he Seldom, spent„ but kept it In a big bag ; under his bed.' 'One day the policemen arrested little Giovanni. and Leonora as vagrants, and tr, was with great difficulty that the old man'had them released.. After they were liberated and winter'came, he made a stand out of some old wood, •painted it green, aed having Supplied it with a ft:trance,. pan and Chestnuts,placed it every morning at the corner of 0110 of the large streets, and made Gio vanni and Lenora stand there all day and sell * the chestnuts. Now the boy and -girl called the old man 'their father, but they did not resemble him in any par ticular. Their faces were so innocent and hOnOst, they looked any-one-who spoke them right square:' i n t o the face while the old Italian alwoye bort) downcast look, which seemed' to say he was'U bad man. . • • 1k sides, Giovanni was an honest boy.

Tan Nem Oas Mast.—The great new gas main from Milian street, Southwark, up Ninth to Cheettiut,-hati been hid, and workmen are noir engaged in laying the extension of it down Chestnut street. This main is designed to supply the Delaware front of the city, which, being all very low 'ground. has hitherto had a very poor supply of gas. This mein is sixteen inches in diameter and will transport northward from the Point-Bretzeworke three millions'of cubic , feet of gas every twenty-four horns, in (=junction with the old main, tweety_hiches in diameter. This will not more than supply the deficiency for the river Wards, where the consumption is very great , consequence of the immense number of buniers in factories,`hotels; public buildings, atorvs.llo.o. die. The valves ha the great twenty inch - math running northwardly have to' be shut off at night to force a supply through it into the Market street. Spring Garden, Penn district, and West Philadelphia holders. It does not seem to be generelly known that during the del y the valves aro completely shut off from tae city at the Market street works, and that no gas flosses therefrom during that time except to the en virons. DISTIMBANCE AND 81104:i1136.—ThIs morning, about 3'o'clock, a disturbance occurred at the New York Hotel, a house of doubtful reputation, located at 947 Warnock street, in the Twentieth Ward. Previous to that time there had been a quarrel among some men about a woman who resides in the house. At i o'clock a pistol was fired, and was quickly followed by two other shots. This created considerable excitement • among the residents of the street, and windows were raised to ascertain the cause of the firing. Then a crowd of men appeared in front of the • house mentioned, and commenced to throw stones through the windows. Three more shots were fired, and the uproar continued for some time. A young man named Thomas Orrell, was wounded in the heal', but his injuries an not serious, ,He was taken to his home on l'oplar street: .Some of the Twentletif Ward policemen afterwards made a descent upon the house, and *nested William Wiser, William Cowell, Catha rine 'Messer, Ellen Rardale, Mary E. Matthews, Anna Ransley, Mary Smith. and Johanna Steven ' son. The prisoners were all taken before Alder man. Hood, and were held to bail.
