Gents, Maidens and Matrons, Is the wish of him who so cheerfully gleans, From the North and South through, And the East and the West too, The good tilings which weekly the Jejft col- umns sheens.

Of things for which grateful Each mortal among us should cheerfully be, !so, l'Vj I Vj 111 H 1 1 IkJLl AUbUA V i Right steadily too, sure, Priug joy and content to thee and to me. j May peace and prosperity, ithout life s austerity, Gather around each Palace and lowly Cot ; And May health too and wealth too, !

The cold chills of December, We should each one remember, Begin the sad season when suffering gaunt Stalks forth through the land And lays his hard, heavy hand Unkindly upon the sad children of want. It U these we should think of Whilst we are in the midst of Our season of merriment, pleasure and glee, We should seek them and greet them, nl with lrinilno mr-ot thpni. , , .., . e i i i : a And with acts of cood cheer Fet their sad hearts free. Not in words should we do it, Not in words, 'lone, pursue it, But in deeds, unmixed with bitter alloy, Should we join with soul and heart, And act right bravely our part, In making thc poor feel radient with joy. j Then will we feel we've earned j That peace, not to be spurned, j Which rinds its wa v to each true feeling heart j Which tells by its joyous throbs, That a good deed never robs Him of purest joy who doth well act his part. . Then let us seek out the poor Well find them close bv our door And snare them freelv of our God civ'n store, The deed cannot us distress Indeed cannot fail to bless Both them and us too now and forcvennore.

A Yankee Collector. A jrentleman f rom New York, who had jbeen in Uostou for the purpose of collect ing souse money due htm id that city, was about returnin.Vvhea he fouri 1 that one bill of $100 had been overlooked. Ilia landlord who knew the debtor, thought it a doubtful case; but added that if it was collected at all, a tall raw-boned Yan kee, theu dunning a lodger in another part of the hall, "would worry it out" of the man. Calling hitn up, therefore, he introduc ed hi Qi to the creditor, who showed him the account. "Well, b'quare," said he, "tain't much use trying; I guess I know that critter. You might as well try to squeeze ile out of Hunker Hill monument as to e'lect a debt out of him. Hut anyhow, Square, what will you give, s'posing I do try ?" ''Well, sir, the bill is one hundred dol lars. I'll give you yet", I'll give you half, if you collect it. Greed," replied thc collector ; "there's no harm in tryin' any way." Some weeks after the creditor chanced to be in IJostoQ, aud iu walking up Tre tnont street encountered his enterprising friend. "Look o' here," said he, "'Square, I had considerable luck with that bill o' your'n. You see I stuck to him like a dog of a root, but for thc first week cr so 'twaru't no use not a bit. If she was at home I couid get no satisfaction. liy and by, says I, alter goiu' sixteen times, 'I'll fix you,' says I. So I sat dowu on the door step, and sat all day and part of the evening aud began early the next day ; but about ten o'clock he gin iu.' He paid me my half and I 'gin htm the note." r A Year's Troubles. John Newton once said: "Sometimes I compare the troubles we undergo in the course of a year to a great bundle of fa gots, far too large for us ao lift. Hut God does not require us to carry the whole at ouce. lie mercifully unties the bundles, and gives us first one stick, which we are able to carry to day and then another which we are ablo to carry to morrow, and so ou. This wc might easily man age it we would only takt the burden ap pointed for us each day ; but we choose to increase our trouble by carrying yester day's stick over again to-day, and adding to morrow's burden to our load be fore we are able to bear it. A gentleman who owns a country seat, nearly lost his wife, who fell into a river which flows through his estate. He au noyuced thp narrow escape to his near friends, expecting their congratulations. One of them an eld bachelor, wrote as follow : "I always (pd yoy Ujat nvcr tvas too bliallow,"'' ' Liability of Indorsers of Notes- In the Court of Common Pleas, yester day, before Judge Garey, the case of Cromwell vs. Stewart & Laws, was tried on these facts: In 1SC5 J. 11. Stewart gave a note, signed by himself, for 8500, payable to S. T. Cromwell. On the back of the note were signed thc names of Wil liam Laws and Eli Henckle, at thc time of its delivery to Cromwell, but which Cromwell never indorsed. The note" was not paid at maturity, nor protested, and no notice given of non-payment to Laws or Henckle. Cromwell brought suit a gainst all three as the makers of a joint and several note, though on its face it was "I promise to pay." The defendauts, Stewart & Laws, severed their defense and plead ed separately, Laws claiming to be merely an indorser, and signed bis name on the back of the note as such ; that to be held liable the note needed protest and notice to him ofd ishonor. The plaintiff claimed that, as thc names of all the parties were on at the time of delivery, whatever part of the paper bore the signatures of the parties, ther were joint makers as much as if their names had been signed on thc face of the note aud immediately under thc first signer, and so much they were liable without protest or notiee. The court so ruled, and judgment was given for the plaintiff. Baltimore Sun, Dec. 19ti. . Remdeies for Poisons. Cases of poisoning ofton occur in which life might be saved, and hours of agony averted, of we only knew what to do in season. If a poison burns the throat and acts violently upou the stomach, swallow half a pint of sweet oil, or melted butter or lard, and, within five minutes, take half a pint of warm water, in which has been stirred a teaspooonful of ground mustard and salt. The oil arrests thc ac tion of the poison, aud thc mustard and salt causes vomiting. If the poison swal lowed does not burn thc throat and act with instant violeuce, but causes sickness, stupor or faiutness, swallow the whites of three eggs ; also a quantity of the strong est coffee it is possible to make, and in a few minutes take the warm water and mustard and salt as before mentioned. An eminent physician says that with prompt use of oil, and white of eggs and strong coffee, and the emetic as above directed, the fatal result of any poison likely to fall in the way of man or child, may be al ways averted. These remedies are, in themselves, harmless, and might all be taken into the stomach at once, in any quantity without damage to the system ; and they are things that we always have at hand. Uut while using these things don't fail to send for a physician. And above all, and first of all don't have any poison around. Horace Gheeley. The Ncw York correspondent of the Milwaukie Sentinel says concerning Mr. Greeley. "Abused as Horace Greeley is by friends aud foes, I doubt very much if there lives another editor in the world who at the bottom is so respected. It has come to be an American habit to speak sneeringly of him, a habit that he himself must be accustomed to by this time, but I notice that respect and admira tion for his sturdy boldness, and for his ex perience, always triumphs in a mixed assembly when be is spokeu of or appears. 3Ieu who commenced years ago to save up materials for his obituary liave passed away and been forgotten; but he still shambles round thc Spruce street corner. Upstarts in journalism who predicted his political annihilation and his social down fall, have run the course of decadency but he still smiles blandly. Men tried to set his office on fire and burn him out, but it was no use. Hennett has with drawn in seoiality to his penitential re treat at Mount Washington. Tiiurlow Weed does little but tell old men's gos sip, aud liryant occasioually does a poem but old Greeley pegs away iu the same office, with the same vigor, the same in domitable will, aud the same youthful bloom on his ceeks, that he had centuries ago. What is the use of fighting such a man?" She Wasn't Afraid. A matronly lady, with a physiognomy indicating that she was strong minded, was on thc wit ness stand at New Haven recently to tes tify in a case of trial. Being pestered a little by the counsel for thc defence, she exclaimed, raising herself up to her full height, and with a gleam of triumph in ber eyes, "I aint afraid of the whole of you ; you can't scare me. I have lived in Chicago ten years, and any one that has lived in Chicago ten years needn't be afraid of the devil." The finest idea of a thunderstorm ex tant is when O'Fogarty came home tight one evening. lie came into the room among his wife and daughters, and just then tumbled over the cradle and fell heavily to the rose and said "No." "Girls floor. After a while he "Wife, are you hurt!" are you hurt?" "No." "Terrible clap, wasn't it?', Philadelphia congratulates herself up on retaining the lead in the petroleum trade. From Jan. 1 to Nov. 1, 1868, she exported 32,665,224 gallons, an increase of more than 8,000,000 over the corres ponding ten months of 1867. 8t.

Mr. James Greenwood has published in London a frightful account of the silent system, which is in operation at the Holloway Model prison in London; It is an offence for a prisoner to speak one word, and he was never addressed ex cept in whispers, so that he may be in the prison two years without hearing one natural sound to the human voice ! The effect of this is so terrible on the mind that the prisoners will speak out in des peration at the risk of any punishment, rather then endure that horrible silence. The prisoners never sec one auother, but remain in perpetual solitude. One poor wretch, driven to desperation by nine month's solitude and silence, broke out in Mr. Greenwood's presence in these words : "For God's sake, Governor, put me in another cell ! Put me somewhere else ! 1 have counted the bricks in thc cell I um in till my eyes ache ! The request of the tortured wretch was refused! j 1 saw a two dollar bill and some other There is a fine hole in each cell, and as j "rip Ijms on the ground, and a new the wardens wear shoes with India rub-lookiDS bill ; before I had time to- pick ber soles, the prisoner can never be sure UP tI,e ruoney, my brother said, "Don't that he is alone. !you shoot"; 1 looked up and saw Brooks- Those condemned to the treadmill have pointing a pistol at my brother's head; I to ascend twelve hundred steps every al ;sa'lJ.
