It seems necessary to haves fairy story
at' Christmas time, and I have under
taken to write this one with a firm deter.
minstion tO make it the very - poorest
fairy story that ever was written.:
rehinieslea Fisher livettiu those good

apparently impossible things'. '
But isrchinietlea Fishernak airisetical
youtth with notatcoptible talent for the
fairy business, and as no' member of the
elan fraternity appeared to think it
:Werth' While to baber with Aratilmoded
Fisher, he had rather a mortifying time
getting along by himself. .„
Even when he was a baby he seemed
to hold all the low cards. No. fairy god-
mother with gossamer wings and pink
silk tights, and a form no longer than a
parlor match, ever canto browsing
around., Archimedes Fisher's- cradle.
waving a wand with aVaar on the end of
it, to drive away the evil spirits _Which..
would be likely to annoy young btr.
Fidiar. lib far irons this being the case,'
it was ascertained, by carefal observere,
that the only Wino which ever hovered
over his cradle were swarmsof vivacious
Glee. Which severally and collectively
pnuctured the bald Maori on the bead of
Afchimedes Maher, and did amide Jus
tice to the collation with which tney
supplied themselves in this Inhuman
wanner.
..Zior wee it observable when-Archi
inedila Fisher - grew larger - that any
benevolent sprite, with a glittering tiara
upon her alabaster brow, mine around,
.and book hien out and &hosed Mai shage
pain kin '. lying on the ground.- and,
With he magic rodinothat it
was -immediately r
transformed into ea
magnificent golden coach, with -ilk
horses, and an obese driver, with four
footman behind, and lined all through
With' crimson velvet, eo that he could
just get into it and drive up to the palace
in magnificent style, and excite the envy
and • admiration cf the noblemen, and
other bloated aristocrats. .
On the contrary. this disgraceful child,
when imbed found a umpkin , merely
scooped It out, and scui p ptured a nee° and
a mouth and two oyes in it, and illum
inated it with a candle, and sprung it at
his little sister Matilda, one deck night.
so that ebe Was scared into tits. and
Archimedes , ' lather locked him up in the
smokohouso for a week, stone, with his l i
own reflections and an empty stomach.
Mr. Fisher never had any satisfactory
success with those Matters, apparently.
For instance, when he fell hem a tree
and wrecked his pants, no magnificent
young creature from fairyland ever ap
peared in an entirely unaccountable
manner, and touched him with her
wand, and In an instant he found himself
arrayed In gorgeous apparel of silk and
satin and spangles and pearls and dia
monds, or frith a feather several feet in
length in his cap., Not by any means.
His mother simply came at him with the
rolling pin, and hit him three or four
vigorous waled over the sconce, and like
to have floated the hide d in
dim - before
she put hint o bed. and Innate' him lie
there all day while ebe washed his pants
and put a fresh patch on them, and re.
placed the suspender buttons.
Arphlmedeaflaber'sfor te certainly did
not went to hive the ability to Indulge in
supernatural triumptes over dillicuttles.
This wee proved very .conclualfely, 1
think, at the time he was precipitated
into the creek and sank as rapidly as the
reputaUon of a man who accepts a Wits
lieu On TM Nnlicnsat /etefligenter. Now
you would naturally think that abeautl
fut and fascinating young mermaid, with
long . golden tresses waving about her
ivory shoulders, and a magnificent form,
with a glittering fish's tall to her, and a
voice (allot melody and sweet, unearth

CIIRISIIIAS CAROLS
---- -
The word carol (Italian carol's, and
French carols, a round dance—probably
from the Estill corolla; Welsh caroli, to
reel, to dance; the name to therefore ap
plied to tee music erlieligeeeomP le Y i eg
such a dance; carillon la probablyial
al-
Iled,) signifies a song of Joy. •The
tice of singing carols, or at all events, I
music, in celebration of the nativity of
Christ as early as the second century, is
considered a, proved by the circumstance
that a large sarcophnoa,•belonging to
that period, has sculptured upon it a
representation of a Christian fixedly join- ,
big In choral praise for this purpose. A
century or two after this, however, the
Christmas Carols seem to have sadly de
generated, and became: fact, so lode.
cent that the clergy found It neceaaary to
forbid them. Under the Anglo-Saxon
Saxon
merriment and piety were quietly
combined in English life, a peculiarity
that affected too Christmas Ceram(
that period not a little; but by the thir
teenth century the jocosity had unhappi
ly lapsed into what would now beconald
ered profanity. The oldest printed col
lection of Digital' Christmas Carols
bears date of 1521. The majorityof those,
though written by men of learning—
priests and teachers—exhibit a lament
able ignorance of the character of the two
most prominent persona . to the carolg—
Mary and Jeans- lu 1525 way kept the
"atilt Christmas," on account of the ill-1
nese of Ring 'Henry ; but with this excsl!.
don, the sacred mamma appears to have
.been regularly celebrated with joyous
music and songs during the Tudor period.
In 1562 Christmas Carols of a more sol
emn nature were introduced. By the
Puritan Parliament Christmas was abol
ished altogether, and holly and ivy 'were
made !seditious badges—and in 1630 the
Psalms, arranged as carols, were adver
tised. After the Restoration the Christ
mas Carols again exhibited a • hearty,
cheerful, and, even a Jovial character.
Thostrwith which the dawn of Christmas
is now announced M England are gener
ally religious, though not universally
so. In France the carols at this season
used to be munch lees sacred than gay.
Often, Indeed, they were grossly baccha
nalian.
CHRISTMAS BOXES.
llistory of an Old English
Cuatom.
Cbristmas.boxis is the name given in
England to a small money gift to per.
son In an inferior condition 'on the day
after. Christmas. which le hence called
Boxing day. The term, and alao the cusp
torn, are essentially Englials, though the
eking of presents at tats aaaeOn and at
the New 'Year, is of great antiquity.
Within the memory of middipaged Per
sons in England, the practice of giving
Christmas boxes or pretty presents to
apprentices, domestic servants and
tradesmen, had become a serious social
nuisance, more particularly in London,
where every old cumorn see ms to Huger
and is most difficult, to be got rid of.
Householders felt under an obligation to
give money to the apprentices in the
limps whore they dealt, also to various
inferior parish officers, including beam
engem- and lamplighters; while shop
keepers. on the other hand, were equally
impelled to make presents to the male
andfemale servant , ' of their customers.
Thus, as referred to in Christmas, a poem :

became such . en ,intolerable grievance
that tradeamen Muck up in their
down that no Christmas Boxes would be
given, and at the same time the pubic
authorities boned remonstrances. to the
Same effect. At Christmas, 1836, the
British Secretary of State fbr Foreign
Affairs Maned a circular. to the different
embassies, requesting a discontinuance
of the customary gifts to the messengers
of the - Foreign-- Department and other
government servants. Sines this period
the practice hoe greatly dedreased,
doubtless to the improvement of the
self-reepeot of the parties interested:
In this country it has never prevailed in
such a shape as that mentioned above,
Christmas presents being given nearly
exclusively in families and among
friends.
OLD FOGIEi AND CIIIIIiIMAS
'We don't like Old ogles. They are
especially disagreeable about Christmas
time. The Old Fogy never enjoys any
thing that Is notin all respects' like some
thing or other that was when he was a
boy. The Old Fogy abominates all new
things, and makes himself disagreeable
by telling others why be abominate&
thorn. • The end of it always is that we
come to abominate the Old Fogy. The
Old Fogy will tell the children that they
must not. eat candies on Christmas be
cause candles will
.give them the tooth
laughterhy most not laugh because
will give them the headache.
They must do nothing In fact, that Is
not strictly what ho choose& to call
"proper and correct." Proper and cor.

everything that Is unpleasant. til The
Christmas play at the theatre, (when
ever we have a Christmas play, which Is
very seldom, not even once a year,) Is
not unpleasant to the little folks; there
fore, It is net proper. The Old Fogy is
an suiti.Offenbacher, because Offenbach'
operas aro light and pleasing add not dis

him or her who would make this ills one

Several days ago we published In these
columns the sickening details .of the
execution by the Sheriff of Butler coun
ty, under-tho provisions of a law which
disgraces the statute book of an Intent,
gent and progressive Commonwealth, of
one Zechariah Taylor HOckenberry, con- .
victed of the heinous crime of isleying

holiest affection. We thought, that that

so. Whou the.. cold and rigid corpse
was cut down and after it had been retie
toady exposed to the impaction of bun.
dreds of morbid beings who crowded
about the jail to glean the particulars of
a too secret vindication of the law, the
question of a Christian burial occurred.
There were friends present who demand
cd and received the lifeless remains of
the murderer, and nestled In a rode and
tawdry coffin, they were driven 'with a
I brisk and careless trot to the Prospect
burial ground: Here, Just as the corpse
was about to be lowered to a last and
I final resting place, a posse of sepulchered
Christiana, men who had not a shadow
of Charity in their souls, but who
took on themsolven the prerogatives of the
anuointed. made their. appsaran*.and
In smock spirit of holy horror demurred,
objected and, positively refused to per
mit the remains of the cold blooded and
unfortunate miriderer to repose beneath
th e shade of the cypress treea of Prospect..
They doubtless reasoned that,the angel
Gabriel would suffocate in his tooting
over the ground where rested a body
marked by the rope of thangtnan, and
besides these god yeoman wanted no
had company when they arose on the
grand day of final consummation.
The cense was then again" crowded
into the rude country hearer and with a
edit brisker trot, the ride to the next
burial place was made. St. Clair Cern.
(defy, a email though enchanting village
of the dead, was the objective point.
Thither, over rough Maas, the hearse
hurried.: Tho terrestial guardian of the
' deceased owned a lot in the ground, and
he dated all power. to keep him from
depositing therein the remains of his on
' fortunate dead client. The grave was
lug. Tee sexton was there with the
necessary straps to lower the coign,
and the spade to hurl earth upon
earth and. forever hide decaying
mortality. The solemn prayer had been
uttered and the murderer's bones were
about to be lowered, when grapheired
and venerable trustees appeared and out
of their hallowed moutbs proclaimed
that the murderer's hones must rest
elsewhere. They. refused to listen to
reason. They bad made up thrdr,ser

was lifted, and with more impatience
than tenderness was thrust Into the

whipped into a lively trot. The day
had waned and night was about
the driver and his attendant,. as •
quiet anti lonely spot in the dreary
wilderness ontakirting the pretty town
of Butler was- reached, and. In the light
of the pale moon, a trench two feet deep
and six feet long was thrown up and the
body of Zechariah TaylorlHockenberry
was solemnly deposited. The tali trees
waved and moaned a requiem and the
overtaaked undertaker heaved a sigh as
he stuck a fragment of wood over the
grave to mark the spot, and leaced into
the box with the irate driver, and rub
bing his hands expressed his thanks that
the murderer had at last found &place to
