"N,olrer mind, love; Kriss will find his way here," was my answer to all objec tions. "But how do you kwon, mother? Have you sent Lim word?" "Oh, I know." Thus I put aside their enquiries, and hurried them off to bed. 4-Now go t) sleep quickly," said I, after they were snugly under their warm blank ets and comforts; and to-morrow morning be up bright and early." And so I left them to their peaceful slumbers. An hour it was, or nmrc, ete Mr. Smith returned. with his pockets well laden. I was in the parlour, where we had placed the Christmas-tree, engaged in decorating it with rosettes, sugar toys, and the like'. At this work I had been some fifteen or twenty minutes, and had, I will own, be come a little nervous. My domestic had gone out, and I was alone in the house.— Once or twice, as I sat in the silent room, I imagined that I heard a movement in the one adjoining. And several times I was' sure that my ear detected something like the smothered breathing of a ntan•" "All imagination," said I to myself.— But again and again the same sounds stir red upon the silent air. "Could there be a robber doncetilel in the next room ?" The thought made me shudder. I was afraid to move from where I sat. What a relief when I heard my husband's key in the door, followed by the sound of his well known tread in the passage! My fears vanished in a moment. As Mr. Smith stood near me, in the act of unloading his pockets, he bent clue to my ear and whispered— “ Will is under the table. I caught a glance of his bright eyes, just now.” "What !" "It's true. And the other little rogues are in the next room, peeping through the door, at this very moment.' I was silent with surprise. "They're determined to know who .hiss Kringle is,"added my husband; then speak ing aloud, lie said— " Come, dear: I want to show you some thing up in the dining room." I undtrstood Mr. Smith, and arose up instantly, not so much as glancing towards the partly opened folding door. We were hardly in the dining room be fore we heard the light pattering of feet, and low, smothered tittering on the stair way. Then all was still, and we descended to the parlors again, quite as much pleased with what had occurred as the little rogues were themselves. "1 declare! Really, I thought them all sound asleep an hour ago," slid I, on re suming my work of decoratinc , the Christ mas tree. "Who could have believed them cunning enough for this? It's all Will's doings. He'll get through the world." "Aye will he," returned Mr. Smith.— "Oh ! if you could have seen his face as I saw it, just peering from under the table cloth, his eyes as bright as stars, and full of merriment and delight." 'Bless his heart! a dear little fellow?' How could I help saying this? "And the others! 'You lost half the plea sure of the whole affair by not seeing them.' "We shall have a frolic with the rogues to-morrow morning. I can see the triumph on Will's face. I understand now what all their whisperings meant this afternoon.— They were concocting this plan. I couldn't have believed it of them." "Children are curious bodies," said Mr. Smith." "I thought I heard some ono in the next room," I remarked, "while you were out, and became really nervous for a while, I heard the breathing of some one near me, also; but tried to argue myself into the be lief that it wasonly imagination." Thus we conned over the little incident, while we arranged the children's terys. know who Kriss Kringle is ! I know !' was the triumphant affirmation of one and another of the children, as we gathered at the breakfast table next morning. "Do you, indeed ?" said I, trying to look grave. "Yes; it is papa." 'Papa, Kriss Kringle ! How can that be P "Oh, we know ! We found out ! "Indeed !" And we made, of course, a great wonder of this assertion. The merry elves! What a happy Christmas it was for them. Ev er since, they have dated from the time when they found out who Kriss Kringle was. It is•all to no purpose that we pleas antly suggest the possibility of their hav ing dreamed of what they allege to have occurred under their actual vision; they have recorded it in their memories, and refer to it as a veritably fact. Dear children! How little they really ask of us, to make them happy. Did we give them but a twentieth part of the time we devote to business, care and pleasure, how greatly would we promote their good ; and , increase the measure of their enjoy ment. Not alone at Christmas time, but all the year should we remember and care 'for their pleasures : for, the state of innocent pleasures in children, is one which good affections are implanted, and these take root and grow, and produce fruit in after life. WHAT PLANK ROADS no.—The Fay etteville (N. C.) Observer, under the head of "Fortune in spite of one's self," says : "We learn that a sale took place in this county, a few days sgo, amounting to a bout 4316,000, of lands which would not have sold for half the money until the plank roads were built through and near them. The owner never subscribed a cent to build the roads, but haggled for dama ges against the companies, for passing through his lands.

New Advertisements, In another part of to-day's paper will he found several advertisement's of particular interest to the public.

Give them a Cir Our friends from the country will find eve ry variety of Winter Clothing at Snyder's and Willoughby's, all good and cheap. -Cr Esquire 'Black's stock of Boots, Shoes, Gaiters, &c., is extensive and of the very best quality. Winter. " 'Tis done! dread winter spreads his latest gloom And reigns tremendous o'er the conquered year. How dead the vegetable kingdom lies ! How dumb the tuneful ! horror wide extends His desolate domain! Behold fond man ! See pictured here thy life pass some few years Thy flowing spring, thy Summers ardent strength Thy sober Autumn fading into ngo. And pale concluding Winter comes at last And shuts the scene." Winter, with its biting frosts, and pinching wants, is once more with us. Time's chariot wheels hove rolled all onward another cycle to ward the winter of life. Spring. Summer, and Autumn, with their freshness, their flowers and their fruits, have been with us and whispered, we . are gone, and Winter "reigns o'er the conquered year." Headers, dear readers ! do you, each of you, think what at•c the lessons which the revolving hands upon the clock of time are teaching. Days, weeks, months, and years, are passing away, and .onward ! onward ! onward !" cries this eternal time keeper, "onward to your tomb." Your beating pulses are its tickings toward eternity; and it will soon strike the hour which shall sum mon you to tho prison house of the dead. Dave you learned not to live entirely for your selves, then you have not lived in vain. if we live not for others, we have not fulfilled our mis sion. When self usurps the empire of the soul, it corrodes and cankers the heart; and love that em• anation of Deity expires in its dreary cells.— Learn then, to cultivate a love fur the lowly °foul race,—the needy poor. The poet has said of one, " Mammon's close linked chains have bound him; 8 , /f-impos'd and seldom burst, Though heaven's waters gush around him Ile would pine with earth's poor thirst." The poor would never want, if the rich attuned their hearts to the sighs of the suffering. "It is more blessed to give than it is to receive," is a soul enlarging truth; it is n rill front the Fountain of Love. i)rink ! I)riuk of its waters, and never thirst. Lose no opportunity of making warm the hearths and hearts of the children of want, then winter will have lost much of his power to pierce the abodes of povetty, and then you may " Sustained and sooth'd By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one that draws the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. Conventions—Temperance. We invite the attention of the friends of Tem perance, not only in our county, but throughout the State, to the Communication, under the head of "Conventions," in another column. There is no project of reform, of public utility, or:of progress, that can be fairly brought before the public, or successfully urged, except it be done by a well organized systeni, by which all in terested in the measure, may make a united, bar 113011i011S, and efficient effort, to promote it. And whet other plan, except Conventions, can bring together the friends du measure; from townships, to meet in counties, and from counties to meet in States? By such meetings, well digested plans of operations aro perfected, and a union of purpose and of power brought about, which enlists friends, as well as secures results. The friends of Temperance, in our county and in our State, need such an interchange of opinion as is had at Conventions. The , enquiry is now every where. thrmst.home otru3, What shall be done to stop the drunkenness which in nattemakin , g, our young men old Fathers must answer thiS question , in such u way, that their answered pray ers will nut bring sorrow in their train; and while others are moving, it does not become the people of this county to remain silent and inactive. What more fitting-way to learn your strength, and to wield it with effect, than to assemble in a County Council; and whatiime more fitting than the January Court; say on Wednesday of the first week. Friends of Temperance; itr• the several townships, what say you? will you send on your boldest and best 'new t° represent your wishes in such a Council? As public Journalists, we are bound to use oni endeavors to further any and all reforms, and oui views on the Temperance Reformation are wel known and understood. Oer Defeat..-Why was it I In two former issues, we gave our opinion as to some of the causes of the late defeat of the Whig party, which arose outside of the party itself.— When we have adverted to some of those with which we, ns a party, are more Immediately con nected, we shall leave the whole subject, and ask our Whig friends to Wilt not through fear, or tire not with toil. "There is a good time a coming, boys, wait a little longer." We love the Whig party for the spirit of free dom which pervades its ranks. Its boldest cap tain, nod its humblest soldier, exerci , cs a right to think and act, without having first a,keil the leaders or the candidates, how he shall think and act. Smile fear to a party ukase, has no lodge ment in the Whig party. Our party has ever maintained, that freemen who seek only the pu nctuation of their much loved institutions, aim at higher ends than the spoils of office. This, the first article of our creed, has been so long obeyed and loved, that we have no doubt, that it some times ministers to our defeat; and did in the late election. There were many Whigs who felt that all their national pride was enlisted in the mighty Webster—his defeat disheartened them; and theirs and the country's final bereavement entirely par alysed them,—they did not recover from the blow in time to enter the contest. Oar present worthy and excellent Chief Magistrate, Millard Fillmore, had an army of warm, devoted, and faithful friends, who felt that he deserved at the hands of the Whig party, the offer of its richest gill. Fail ing in that, they had not the heart to tail us they ould have clone. As honest, faithful Whigs they corked as cheerful as possible, hut somo of them t least, looked hack and murmured fur the "flesh ots" they had left. Another large portion of the Whig party are in principle, opposed to Military Chieftains, as candidates. And not a few of the ignorant and biggotted had been led to believe that General Suitt was a Roman Catholic. Many of our Southern Whig brethren had adopted the belief, that Scott was in some way allied to the anti-slavery feeling of the North; neither of the two last tales having even a foundation in fact.— then, may be seen the seeds of interim/ dis :ace, which affected the Whig party. Now, it must also me remembered that Whigs, &ter an chiction is over, attend to the other basi• tess of life, while our opponent's, as we have said, mood to politics. They never forget to build up Ind strengthen their party, for they want its fat lungs. If we love our principles, if we believe that hose principles only, will minister to the true spirit f Vitional Progress, and A'ational Permanence, night not we, as a question of party economy, take ounsel by the conduct of one opponents? The love 1 office will make a full blooded Loco Foe°, vetch night and day, summer and winter, that he nay win his prize—the spoils. Should not the one of principle—of our country's prosperity—of truth itself, demand that we, as 'Whigs, should prove that lore by the same watchful zeal, and tire less toil. The love of "plunder" binds with "co hesive power," our opponents, to their party and to their organization; and we ask in all sober ear nest, can wo believe even our own professions of principles, and protestations of honest purpose, when we refuse to unite our well organized strength to carry into effect our measures, or what is pre cisely the same thing,—the men who have been nominated on behalf of those measures? While, then, we love the spirit of independence, and freedom of thought and action, which abides in our party, we aro free to say that it would be a source of much rejoicing to us if we could see less ill mannered recrimination, and more willing- ness to bear each others burdens. Arbitrary and dictatorial insolence hi not independence; and can not do ought but evil. We shall encourage all evidences of the love of right, we shell discourage all presumptions that the opinion of one man, is wiser titan the organi zed party. Let our friends, every where, adopt this system, and set ahout au immediate and ef- fleient organization. • Our defeat in 1844 was more prostrating than the last, yet in 1848, we were doubly victorious. In fonr years we can do it again, if we will. "There is nothing impossible to him who will, it." Cr The Chambers!,:try Repository and Whig, under the editorial conduct of our esteemed friend, Col. A. K. McClure, is one among the very best family, as well as political papers, published in the interior of Pennsylvania; and we commend it to every body, as especially deserving of patronage, after the Huntingdon Journal. The Colonel has a subscription list of 2200, which makes the Whig a good advertising median,. Why don't our Whig friends, in Huntingdon county, send in their names, and ;well our list up to that, or larger? Wo deserve it; and we need it; and the Wlag party needs it. Will not sonic good man in each township, make a small effort for the "Journal 1" Send us in sor 10 new sub , scribers from each post office, and bee how grate ful we can be; and how much good you can do. By the by, we forgot ono thing! Our friend, of the Whig, names that worthy, faithful, and de serving old Whig, Hon. Thomas Carson, as the nom for Speaker of the Senate. If large experi ence, stern integrity, and a sound judgment, are any recommendation, then our estimable friend, Carson, is in the way of sums's. We have said once before, that the Whigs have cause to be proud of their Senators. The Speaker's Chair will be honored by any one of them. Congress. This body, of the Legislative wisdom of our notion, is once more in session, after n recess of only a few weeks. A long session expired just before the October election; nearly the whole of which was spent in President making,.whflo the basilic,. of theipeoplo was allowed to remain un touched. A President - halt beet made; and it would he a supposablevase, that this session would be one of work; and dining which, those public Servants who receive eight dollars a day, would be Willing to devote their time to public duties. Sdtrta of the letter writers have given it us their opinion, that such would be the case. We know how easy it is to complain, and censure the conduct of per sons in official stattans; and we know, that as a general rule, they encounter such censure in ev ery quarter. iVe do not intend to be a party to any such course. If they do act, even though that action shall not accord with our• views, we shall give them the credit of seeking to fulfil the.ir mis sion; shouhl they spend their time in making n Cabinet for President Pierce, and laboring fur their peculiar pets, to get them into good offices; then we too will join the general cry. to far, Congress makes no demonstration for good. The 'hu•itf' is kicked under the table; and protectionists, who flattered themselves with th c hope that some thing Would be dune fur them, are told now they must wait for the coming in of the new Administration. Our opinion is, they Will Wait. If Congress does do any thing our readers . shall he "booked up." For the Joiithal Conventions, MESSRS• EDITORS : As you lately in formed us, through the Journal, that there was "a time for everything," doubtless there is a time for conventions. It is the natural right of all nice, to meet together in order to div ice the best moans to secure the happiest results. We have our Railroad conventions, our Turnpike and Bridge conventions, and our School conventions; and in short, we have conventions in ordei to promote every great work or reform, which requires the united efforts of men. And now, that (as we trust) the political fueds and heart-burnings have subsided with the smoke and noise of a warmly contested election, we believe it is a fit time to set down; review the past, and divise suitable measures for the future prosperity and hap piness of our community. And being thus seated, the first enqui ry suggested to the mind is; what shall we do to prevent thousands of the present and future generations from being immolated upon the gory altar of Bacchus, as hmidreds of thousands have been sacrificed, and as millions of human beings have yet to fall ingloriously, if nothing can be done to stem the mighty current of intemperance which is sweeping over our land with all its devas tating, and destructive consequences ! The foe with which we have to contend is more powerful and insidious than the Czar of Russia, and more deadly than the Upas; the theatre of our conflict is the world, and the end of the contest must be, either the annihilation of intemperance, or a glorious grave to the friends of reform. And sure ly such a foe, such a field, and such an end in view, is worthy of the attention, the zeal and the best efforts, of the patriot, the phil anthropist and the Christain. Now for years past all these have been employed in the contest., they saw the moral world ten ding to degradation, they came to the res cue, all the weapons in the armory of mor al suction have been employed. They have wiped away many a tear, healed many a bleeding and broken heart, restored peace and plenty to many a deserted hearth, and brought back many a wandering prodigal to his weeping parents. But much still re mains to be done; the manufactories of alco hol aro still darkning the Heavens .with their smoke, they are still sending forth streams of liquid death, more destructive in their consequences than all the streams of liquid fire which have flowed from burn ing mountains since the creation of the world. We have still many a melancholy spectacle, penitentiaries and prisons crowd ed with squalled and wretched victims of intemperance, our Courts of Justice ex pending millions to protect the communi ty from the assaults of the unfortunate in ebriates with which we are still eurounded, and we have still five hundrd thousand in ebriates, as is supposed in our country.— And the enquiry still forces its self upon us. Is it not a fit time for every County in the State to hold conventions, to call upon each township to become an auxiliary, and each county to become an auxiliary to a State Society l Aad thus form an organization such as will make a salutary impression upon the community. And now in conclusion, if we see you band of patriots who have borne the bur then in the heat of the day, who have been fighting for the good of their country for years, and whose weapons appear to be broken and in some measure worn out and useless; still grappling with that deadly monster, whose victims have been dragged from every department of life--from the palace to the hovel. The temple of Jus tice, the Senate chamber, the Legislative Hall, nay ! the Sacred Altar; all, all have supplied victims to glut its insatiable and sepulchral maw. If we see all this, either through cowardice or apathy fold our arms; and look upon the contest, a thousand times more important than that thrilink battle by which the invincible M'Donald extorted the marshalls staff from Napole an, we May live to repent our folly and spend the coming of our lives in bitter re grets. And now Messrs. Editors, will you in view of this important subject, request each towship to hold a meeting, and send up*delegates to a convention to be held in your town at such a time as you may deem most prudent. H. C. B. ar We see that some of our exchanges are in favor of our fellow-townsman, Isaac Hugus Esq., for the office of State Treas urer.

Besides, he has the brains and the capacity to fill the post with credit, and this some old-fashioned people still think an important consideration.—Som erset Herald.

Nativity of tile t American Popula- lion One of the most interesting results of the Census is the classification of inhabi tants, according to the countries of their birth. We are thus enabled to discover for the first time of what our nation is com posed. The investigations under this head have resulted in showing that of the free inhabitants of the United States, 17,736,- 792 are natives of its soil, and that 2,210,- 828 were born in foreign countries, while the nativity of 39,227 could not be deter mined. It is shown that 1,964,518 of the whole number of foreign born inhabitants were residents of the free States, and 245,- 310 of the Slave States. It is seen that the persons of foreign birth froni 11,00 per cent. of the whole free population.,— The countries from which have been deri ved the largest portions of these additions to our population; appear in the following statement : . - Natives of Ireland in U. S. in 1850 061,719 Natives of Germany 578,225 if England 2786°5 ~ British America - 147,000 Si Scotland 70,550 ~ France 54,060 " Wales 20,868 All otlid countries 05,022 Total The proportion in which the several countries above named have contributed to the aggregate eniiiiigrani population, is shown in the subjoined statement: Ireland 43.4 per ct. Scotland 3.17 per J.. Germany 25.9 " France 2.44 " England 12.6 " Wales 1.34 " B. Amer 6.68 " Miscel's 4.47 " This view of the living immigrant popu lation is important, as serving to correct many extravagant notions concerning it., which have attained extensive currency. Another interesting branch of this in quiry is that which concerns the inter-mi gration of our native citizens among the States. The tables presenting a view of this movement will be most useful and val uable in tracing the progress of different portions of the country. The facts devel oped will show Low far ono region has im pressed its own characteristic and peculiar customs on others. It is found that out of 17,736,792 free inhabitants, .1,112,1:13 have emigrated and settled beyond the States of their birth. Three hundred and -thirtY-five thousand natives of Virginia, equal to twenty-six per cent. of the whole, have found homes outside of her Own bor ders, South Carolina Las sent forth 163,- 000, which is 86 per.cent. of all native citizens of that State, living in the United States at the date of the Census and the very remarkable proportion of 59 per cent. of the number remaining in the State of their nativity. North Carolina Las lost 261,575 free ihhabitants, equal to 21 per cont. by emi gration. Among the Northern States, Vermont and Connecticut have contributed most largely the settlement of other parts of the country. Their proportion, about 25 per cent. of their native citizens, would exceed perhaps that of either of the South ern States already mentioned, were the number of slaves in latter admitted as an element of the calculation. But the ro- r mg tendency of our people is incident to the peculiar condition of their country, anti each succeeding Census will prove that it is diminishing. When the fertile plains of tly,Cest shall have been filled up the iu hiMants of each State will become com paratively stationary, and our countrymen will exhibit the same attachment to the homes of their childhood, the want of which is sometimes cited as an unfavorable trait in our national character.
