A Christmas Carol. A paean sing To the hale old King Who has reigned for many a year ! With his jovial train lie comes again, The wintry hours to cheer ! Though locks of snow Rest on his brow, And the hoer frost drapes his chin, Yet his eyes shine bright With a merry light., And his heart beats warm within. To old and young His gifts.are flung, Au ho speeds on his gleesome way, And our spirits bound At the joyous sound, "Old Christmas comes to-day !" The los'd of yore Aro met once more, And hand is clasped in hand ; While friendship's chain Long snapped in twain, Is linked at his command. With one glad voice Let earth rejoice, To welcome hie cheerful reign ; And a warmer glow Our hearts will know, As we echo back the strain. As loudly raise A hymn of praise, While our 6ouls ith rVture thrill, To elm whose birjh Brought “peace en earth, And unto men goodwill !" WHIT BEFORE CHRISTMAS; Or, the Rich and the Poor. I=l "The poor ye have always with you." It was the evening before Christmas—that happy, happy season when, Oitwithstanil ing the (mid weather, the hearts of the young are bounding so lightly within their bosoms, and when even age forgets its wrinkles and its cares to participate in the general mirth and preparation. It would have done you good to walk up and down the streets, just. for the purpose of seeing the brilliant shops, and the numerous beau tiful and costly gifts und toys many of them cur ~ p •, mid u l ruin_ ta u • purse strimt- , of 11:111' .1111 ,. .y 1.11/I'llll, 1111 1 / I VHl‘%ii alit t Itil lr n. 1 t t,) ‘‘atcli the man‘ gr, , ups of happy, eager fa res 1111Stalitiy passing awl repassing, each one intent upon gratifying either them selves or sent' behaved relative or friend by the purchase «f gift How sur prises are in preparation for that eventful morning—how many an hour has been stolen to complete ill secret the piece of handiwoik which is to make some beloved being happy, and which is the more accept able because some sacrifice has been neces sary in order to effect its completion—it is, therefore, a most disinterested token of affection. The Christmas season is truly a blissful period Ilow many, knit by the closest ties, are then gathered about the hearth—parents, eh Hamm , brothers, sisters —ail to whom this (lay has been us a soh tart' star upon their path ! They have looked forward to it as a time of reunion ; they can look back upon it as at green spot which must always remain fresh in the waste of memory. Ilia to proceed. The weather, though clear, was bitter cold ; and as the wayfarers trod the busy streets, each one (ink-keno(' his pace, or wrapped their cloaks and furs more tightly about them, in order to keep out the keen biting, air ; and yet two children might be seen' hour after hour standing before the shop' windows where as uncommon display was made of fruit, toys or confectionery. Now they jumped to keep themselves warm th;fil breathed upon their still; blue lingers, or drew their thin clothing closer, as if to impart warmth. Yet still they lingered, ever and anon making some such expres sions as these : "Oh, Tommy, isn't that dull beautiful ? And look at these candy baskets !" "Yes, these are well enough, Susan," said her brother ; "but du look at this su gar rabbit, and that little turkey ! Don't you wish we had some money ?" ''Yes,'' said the little girl, unconscious ly sighing ; "if we had a cent, only one cent, it would buy a whole stick of candy. At this moment a boy passed, whose dress denoted that he belonged to wealthy and fashionable parents. lie was wrapped in the richest furs and attended by a col ored servant, carrying a basket. lle held a pines) well filled in his hand, and, as he passed, evidently heard the conversation of these children of poverty : for his face flushed, and ho looked at them with evi dent interest and curiosity. 110 did not, however, bestow upon them a single pen ny ; but after speaking to his servant, qui etly entered the shop, and the children al most immediately after took their way home, whither we will follow them. The street they inhabited afforded a striking contrast to*the'one they had just left. It was long, narrow and. deserted, and they were obli ged to proceed to the extreine end, until they stood before the door of a miserable tenement, when, lifting the latch; they en tered a small room, around the gate of which two• other little cream* were hovering, cleseV and closer, us the cold wind erupt through the crevices of the wall and penetrated their. slight clothing. Their mother" au eumeiatod looking woman, bro. GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY VENING, DECEMBER 19, 1851. ken down prematurely by poverty and suf fering, sat sewing beside tho low window, husbanding the last gleam of daylight ; and well might she have sung the "Song of the Shirt" while bending over her work, and looking around her cheerless home, where her utmost efforts barely suf ficed to keep body and . soul together. "Where have you staid so late, my chil dren ?" said she, drawing a screaming babe from the cradle and pressing it closely to her shrunken breast; its hollow eyes and emaciated appearance bearing evidence of the insufficiency of its nourishment. "1 have been uneasy about you ; and did you do the errand I bade you ?" "Yes, ma'am," said Tommy, holding his almost frozen hands over the few coals the grate contained, yet at the same time ma king room for his little sister, thereby dis playing the real benevolence of his dispo ! sitiou, for he reduced to practice the prim elide that there is not so much generosity in sharing what we do not need as in part ing with what seems absolutely necessary for ourselves. Tonimy was a fine little fellow, notwithstanding his pinched and poverty-stricken appearance, and there is no telling what he might under other eir cumetancem hure become. "Well, what did Mrs. Gibbons say about the shirts ?'' continued the mother, and what kept you 80 late ?'' "She said she was very well pleased with them," said Susan, drawing to her moth er's knee, "only she thought you might have put two rows of stitching on the wristbands, instead of one, mid she wants the other half a dozen in three days." "Two rows of stitching'. Oh ! my God," said the mother, raising her tearful eyes to Heaven, then resting them upon the babe at her breast, "could elle but, see these five miserable children, and feel these aching eyes and weary limbs, she would think one row was suffmient ; and she must have the other six in three days. Well, I must, at night to finish them." Slit. didn't I:t•cit us ‘‘niting,itlicr,"said autiful things in the shop windows, ILIA toFei the rielt iwolde g•ping to buy. Oh ! mother, why did not tiod make us rich';" "I_ cannot tell, my child," returned his nerther, mournfully ; "doubtless we aY•eupy the station he knows is best for us. There must Lc Lowers of wood and drawers of water in this wttrld, as well as• people to ride in gilt coaches." "Yes, but 1 would rather cut wood and draw water, if I were big enough," said Tommy, than to see you stooping all day long over that horrid sewing, that you say gives you such a pain in your side." .'l'erlyps your father will come some day," returned his mother, hopefully, "and then 1 will not be obliged to toil so hard." "Olt ! why did father ever leave us ?', cried little Susan. "When he was here and could get work, we always had molas ses, and sometimes meat and coffee. Oh ! why did he go away ?" "I do not know, my child," replied her mother, "unless it was because lie was not so strengthened by hope as uwoman. lie had seven mouths to feed with the work of one pair of hands, and it was hard; so lie despaired and left us. But how is a wom an to contend with the difficulties that ov erpowera man ? God knows I cannot sleep at nights for thinking where to-mor row's victuals are to come front, let alone the fuel and the rent." "But, mother," said Bunts, "to-morrow is Christmas, and every body will be so hap py then : will you not just this once give us some Christmas gifts ?" "80, mother," cried Tommy, while all the little ones joined in thorns—"Do, moth er, get some of the money you arc to be paid for the shirts and buy us some cakes." The tears started to the eyes of poor Mrs. Bailey as her children spoke. She re membered her own childhood—hew she hint looked forward for weeks to that per iod, and how regularly her fond parents had superintended the tilling of her stock ing, which she was induced to believe was the gift of "Krisskringle." Her voice was choked as she replied— "l wish I could indulge you, my dears; but I can hardly get bread to satisfy your hunger by my labor; so how can I buy cakes and presents But come, Tommy, you light the lamp, and I will give baby his supper, and you shall have yours." The baby's• supper, which consisted of corn gruel, was soon prepared, when each of the children had a shoe of coarse bread and a drink of water, and were put to bed, where, notwithstanding the scanty covering of their miserable pallet, their eyes were soon closed in sleep. But not to with their poor mother. She took out her sew ing, but before she proceeded to take a stitch, she leaned her head upon her hands' and wept long and bitterly. And who may tell the emotions which sometimes harrow up the souls of the poor? They have all the feelings of humanity, like passions with ourselves, and their children ; howev er uninteresting they may aptiont unto, us, are dear to them; they participato in their joys and sorrows ; and when they are oblig ed to deny thorn—the gratification which . childhood so eagerly demands, and aoa "FEARLESS AND FREE." them pining for indulgences which they I can never enjoy, and the pleasures of which are magnified because out of their reach, it is oftentimes a bitter trial, especially to one who has the finer sensibilities of a woman. We will now leave Mrs. Baily. Her ease was not one to excite uncommon sym pathy. She had seen in her youth better I days—at least days in which she enjoyed many of the comforts of life. Her hus band was a poor young man, but honest and industrious. He had, however, no trade, but was dependantsolely upon his dai- I ly labor for support ; sometimes he had work and sometimes none—lt was just as it happened : and when ho found a family 'of some size gathering about him, who were many times needy, even distressed for necessaries, he had not fortitude nor ' strength of affection sufficient to induce him, to bear with the ills of life for their sakes. Never thinking or caring how his unhappy wife was to get along without his assistance, he left then, ; and sorely had she struggled for more than a year to keep them togeth er, the meagre pittance she received for her work barely sufficingAnproeuru a shelter for their heads and to preserve them from star vation. Will our reader look with us in to the interior of a dwelling, the extreme opposite of Mrs. Baily's wretched hovel? A lady and two children, of the ages of 12 ' 1 and 14 occupy the drawing room, where every article of furniture is of the most fashionable and luxurious description. The ' heavy velvet curtains aro drawn across the windows, to keep out ovary breath of told air, while the blazing coal fire imparts warmth, and gives it an air of cheerfulness and comfort. Lighted by the softened gl9w from the alabaster lamps, Mrs. Stanton and her children are engaged in finitilting u Christmas tree. This consisted 'of a real tir tree, brought from the forest and play ot for the time being in an ornamented box. It was hung with fruit, toys and confectionery; every branch bore its ap propriate shae, both in quantity and N,l - and looked as though Krishritigle hiu,ell had superintended its d(awation. j It was intended as a pleasant surprise foi -1 the younger children, and as a gratilicat ion ti their numerous young friends, who would be sure to give tWnta call 04,t Christ mas morning. "How exquisite this bouquet looks " ex claimed Walter, Ceti he finished tying one, placed it in a small globe of water, to one of the lower branches. "The flowers are the very choicest Mr. IJ—'s hot-house afforded. And do not you think, 111M11,111a that in this warm room, suspended in wa ter, I shall be able to preserve theta fresh until morning ?" "I think it probable you may," returned his mother ; "however, it would have been better to have deferred getting theta until morning." "Walter is always impatient to see how a thing looks," said his Sister, archly, "and I dare say he had pretty Ella Marshall in his mind's eye when he selected it." Walter colored, as boys of fourteen-al ways will, if detected in any slight predi lection for a fair companion ; but as his mother did not appear to take any notice, lie made no reply. Mrs. Stanton did wit rebuke, for she did not wish to impair the confidence her children reposed iu her by checking their playful raillery. It was not her desire that fear should take the place of love ; and, although far front in dulging every whim and gratitlying every wish, she always appeared interested im whatever claimed their particular at tent ion, and sometimes, although not juvenile in her habits, joined with them in their spurts and plays, in order more thoroughly to un derstand the peculiarities of their charac ters and dispositions. She felt the impor tance of the trust committed to her keep ing—the training of immortal souls for time, for eternity—and was indeed what may be termed a good mother. She kept in view the eternal, as well as temporal hap piness of her children, mad beautiful as was her character, its greatest charm was her piety ; for although her many accomplish melds and great wealth entitled her to a dis tinguished place in the highest circles, yet she never for one moment forgot that lime ' also was a talent, and that there was a day approaching when she must give an account of her stewardship. "I have observed, my children," said she, as the finishing stroke was given to their fairy employment, "what pleasure you have taken in selecting and arranging these beautiful gifts fur your little brothers and sisters and young friends, And your love to anticipate the delight with which they will rewire them. have you eVer thought of the gift of God ?-,-the greatness of the offering he made, without money and without price, to the world on this night many hundred years ago Ho scut his bon to endure every privation and affiie 7 tion, only that through his sufferings a free pardon might he offered to every trausgres . sor. And how has ho been received I By many with not as much : &Otiose as you will see displayed op the :presentation of Your worthless gifts. I would wish you, my ahildrou, wit to think of this as a heti . d iv , sw i m ul truiy, but rorrouulier it , as_ tho night ou_which the Savior of the world was born—the night when the greatest of all gifts was presented to a sinful world—and think of it as a season when the needy and distressed have peculiar claims upon you." "Dearest mamma," said the young Clara, whose sympathies wereStutily awakened, "I have been reading to-day that it is suppos- Bed, twelve people die annually in our large cities from sheer starvation. Now I can scarcely endure to hear of grown people suffering; and how my heart bleeds at the idea of the privations endured by poor, lit tle children—their early toil and sorrow, and their lives of pinching poverty and hunger. Oh should we not think of them more frequently and do infinitely Are for them than we do ?" "Certainly we should, my dear," return ed her mother, kindly. "Do you recollect the touching lines— .. The pittance slight, the oneltind word, With which we all can part, May take the wing from poverty, Or save a broken heart." But I would have you divest charity of its romance; you are not called in these days to practise it upon persons *MA as we read of in tales and stories—lovely women, broken down prematurely by hardships and - distress, but still interesteng and charming, or children with dishevelled tresses, only requirbig a little scrubbing to render them objects of peculiar fascination; but remember it as it almost invariably ap pears in real life, attended with rags, miss ery, and many times, filth; for the very poor have so few motives fur exertion, and become so unhappy and dispirited, that they are excessively careless. It is those you are called upon to relieve, my children, and it is for purposes such as these that God has endowed you with the means. Therefine, dispose of it in such a manner that you may be able, in the great day, to answer with joy and giEclitass to the fearful inquiry. Where are the ten talents committed w your keeping?" -Your remarks, mamma," said Walter. remMetl me ttl,t little incident that occurred this evening, which I had well nigh for gotten. (ht going; to the candy shop for a few articles I wanted especially for this tree, I noticed two poor, wretched looking little children. They were shivering in the cold, from which their thin clothing, was scarcely any protection, and yet they lingered with a sort of fascination about the window. I heard the little girl wishing for a penny, only one penny, and I would have given her several had I not thought it proper to wait and consult you about a better way of serving them ; so I whis pered to Roger to follow them; he did so, and describes their home as miserable in the extreme. They had scarcely a spark of fire this cold night, and as he stood by the window he saw their mother give them and several other little things their sup per, which consisted of nothing but coarse bread and water." "Cod help the poor," said Mrs. Stan ton, her eyes swimming in tears. "Yet how many hundreds, my children through out the length and breadth of the laud have not even this—bread and water. You have not forgotten the account we were reading the other day pf the sick, famish. ing mother, who had saved an o!d, dry crust to wrap in a calico rag to keep her little infant quiet, remarking, that she could endure any thing but its screams, when suffering from the pangs of hunger." "Mamma." said Clara, “see how many beautiful things have been left from this tree ; look at these oranges and figs and these pretty toy a. Do let us park them in a basket and send them with Roger to these little children. They will at least have some ••Christmas gifts." Mrs. Stanton smiled kindly upon her child as she replied— • We will send there my love, and they will doubtless delight little creatures who have never had anything of the kind in their lives, but they must be accompanied by something for their poor mother." Ringing the bell, she gave directions to a servant who left the room, and some time after entered with two or three others, each herring a basket ; Roger bringing up the rear with a large one,evidently calcula ted as a receptacle for the contents of the rest. "Now come, Walter and Clara," said their mother rising, "shall we superintend the arranging of these things fur the pour woman ?" The children obeyed her request with the 'greatest alacrity, and displayed almost childish delight in picturing the anticipa ted reception of their timely gilt. What a number of soft_brownloave, there were, and what nice pies, cllteta„dic.. with sev eral pounds of sugar, coffee and tel t . not forgetting the sireetmeats and playthings fur the children. “Mamma,” said Clara. seeing her put the price of a ton of coal in a small pocket book and &lip it into the skis; 'Mamma, you giro so . much to different charitable Objects ! are younever afraid of becoming pour yourself r" '•I give on good 'security my dsughler." catmint her mother, "for the Dihle says. •lie that giveth twill° poor lendeilt in the 14ottl; ant! 1, always find it so. • When your father autli wont married, wv vrero by no means rich in this world's' goods ; but even at that period of time we gave as we were able. We have endeavored to make it a constant practice ever since, and," continued she, glancing round the ntagni ficent apartment with its wealth of gold and crystal, •how greatly have we been blessed." "Is it not singblar, mamma," said Walter. that so few vie* these things in the light that you appear to dot I hoes so often Wird fine ladies of your 'acquain tance urge, when solicited to bestow their charity, that they hail so many expenses they really could not afford to give to every object." "Their hearts were not interested in the matter, my dear," resumed Mrs. Stanton, "I am persuaded, however, that when per sons gil , e from a proper motive, that, they are almost invariably compensated even in this world ; and to convince you that it is at least some times the case, I will relate a fact which tell under my own observa tion. A person in rather poor circum stances borrowed on one occasion a dollar to bestow upon the domestic missions.— He did not jtnow how it was to be repaid, "buthe relt it to - 6 ti — Hi did so, and it happened in. a few days that a person who owed him s small debt unex pectedly liquidated it and made him a pres ent of a dollar or two more than was ' his duo. Can you after this suppose that the poor man's generosity, escaped the eye of Him who saw and blessed the wid ow's mite 1" wish everybody who hat the means to do good entertained your sentiments, mamma," said-Glare. ~ 1 -kw much mis ery would be relieved." As this remark Was made, their pleasant task was completed and Roger, with an other servant, was commissioned to cur ry the basket to its destination. We will not describe its arrival at length, hut in our mind's eye we can follow it. cc poor Mrs 'Lilly's start of surprise when she hears the knock ; mark her astonishment as it is brought in and she is told it is Chrismas present from a lady—watch with what trembling eagernesss she lifts the cover and inspects its contents, and then with what thankfullness she raises her eyes to heaven. as if to ask a blessing on the giver. tier joy is so unlidunded site can scarce ly refrain . from waking the children to participate in it ; bet it is so cold that she concludes to wait until morning; and when morning does really arrive, to w itness the gladness that reigns among t hein, is us a 'balm to her crushed spirit. Fur once they are hapry—her children wild with joy, are dancing round the basket ; and she, to whom this unexpected supply has given a blessed relief, is also determined to take a holiday. The coal was brought, they had both fire and food, and happiness and pre , sent emitentment reigned Mrs. liaily's wretched dwelling. All this was purchas ed at the expense of a low dollars, and are there any among us in even comfortable eircumskances who have nothing to bestow at such a period I And oh, what a very 11 - ilk comes with a heart-warming Mlle ence to the home of die destitute on the evening before Chrishinas. An lowa papr says a certain village there was recently visited by a "'Bloomer freshet." On being questioned us to what he meant, the editor says : "The water was knee high in the streets."
