A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
BY BOZ.

CHRISTMAS time! The man must be
msanthrope indeed, in whose breast some
thing like jovial feeling is not roused-in
whose mind some pleasant associations are
not awakened-by the recurrence of Christ
mas. There are people who will tell you that
Christmas is not to them what it used to be
that eachsucceeding Christmas hasfound some
cherished hope, or happy prospect, of the
year before, dmmed or passed away, and that
the present only serves to remind them of re-
duced circumstances and straltened incomes
of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow
friends, and of the cold looks that meet them
now, in adversely and misfortune. Never
heed such dismal "reminiscences. There are
few men who have lived long enough in the
world, who cannot call up such thoughts any
day in the year. Then do not select the
merriest Of the three hundred and sixty-five
for your doleful recolections, but draw your
chair nearer the blazing ire--il the glass
and send round the song-and if your room
be smaller than it was dozen years ago, or
ifyour glass be filled with reeking punch, in
stead Of sparkling wine, put good face on
the matter, and empty it off.hand, and fill
another, and troll off the old ditty you used TO
sing, and thank God it's no worse. Look on
the merry faces of your children as they sit
round the fire. One little seat may be empty !;
one slight form that gladdened the fathers
heart, and reused the mothers pride to look
upon, may be not there. Dwell not upon the
past think not that one short year ago, the
fair child now resolving into dust, sat before
you, with the bloom Of health upon its cheek,
and the gay Inconsistencies Of infancy in its

How sweet 10 remember the hours when we lin

Had traced his deep lines on the fairest Of earth.
When the wind whistles shrill on the desoate moor,

And make the past glitter more beautiful still.
When round The old table in pleasure were seated,
The bright rosy children and parents so bland,
While smoking before them their glad eyes were

With the pile of huge Doughnuts, the pride of The

The New England Doughnut-
The rich smoking Doughnut-
The brown twisted Doughnut, the pride of the land.
The rainbow Of fancy DER visions Of childhood
In coors as bright as the colors of morn
Throws It's arch, everlasting as that DER the wild

When westward, at evening, the storm king has
gone .. ....
The dell in the grove where the wild berry blushing
Awoke our young bosoms TO childish delight;
The hillside, where Oft from his airy height rush

To feed on the fly came the hawk of the night
The ones who went with us to share in our plea

And now while the blow of correction is falling,
And pain makes the sufferer roar in his might,
What Joy cheers his soul mid that moment appal-

And sheds DER his face such CLEANS of delight?
Ay, then he remembers the balm that reposes,
Within the snug basket that sits on the stand
And the thorns OF the briar are transformed into
roses, ..

Afar from the shores of his dearly loved home,
When cast by the wave and by robbers surrounded,

Afar from sail and afar from the land,

THE LATE MARGARET MILLER DAVID
SON

When the possessor Of exalted genius has
departed, justice seems to require that we
shou'o Pa"es from our usual avocations and
marx his own vacant place with some me-
mento And however unfit our columns may
be to grace the memory Of such being as
MARGARET MILLER DAVIDSON, we would
pay passing tribute to one whom this coun-
try has lost an ornament of rare beauty This
bright being died on the twenty-ffth of No
vember last, at Saratoga, at the age of little
more than fifteen years. She is a sister of
Lucrelia Davidson, whose wonderful poetic
powers were theme of Southey's raptures,
and whose untimely fate Miss Sedgwick has
beautifully commemorated. And when we
read that memoir, we thought that her place
would be well supplied by that sister whose
verses to her memory written al the age of
ten years were appended to it. But she too
has followed to the grave. At the age of
five years the existence of her beautiful fan
cy and power of expression were discovered
by her friends and since that time they
have been developed with strength and ra-
pidity that gave a promise of her becoming
poet of whom any country might be proud.
With a delicate form on which Consumption
long since placed her mark, she had accom-
plished more than many writer's have done in
long life By reading or writing something
every day, she has left behind her colec-
fion of poems which it appears almost incre-
dible could have been composed in so short
time. One Of these, an eastern epic, consists
of eight cantos, and was written when she
was twelve years old, and another OCCASION
ed by and embracing some of the incidents Of
the great fire in this city, extends to several
hundred lines. The number of her small
pieces which has thus far been discovered
is very great The very few that we have
seen, exhibit proofs Of the most extraordinary
poe,ical powers that we have ever known Of
While their author lived, they were confined
10 the circle of her most intimate friends by
her acute sensibiity to observation, but we
hope that now when the silver cord is loosed,
the labors Of her gifted mind may be present.
ed to the public OF the pure and gentle
and retiring spirit with which her brilliant
fancy was blended we will not speak here.
Its memory is the treasure of her friends
alone. But that poet Of such rare gift should
be removed before her title to the name was
acknowledged, the germ hardly unfolded that
promised such fruit, its fragrance undiffused is
general loss and must be felt by every Ame-
rican.who is interested in the literature OF his
country.

THE COMPASS

From the London Evangelical Magazine
THE COMPASS.
The storm was loud-before the blast
Our gallant bark was driven;
Their flaming crests the pillows reared,
And not one friendly star appeared
Through all the vaults of Heaven
Yet dauntless still the steersman stood,
And gaZed without sigh,
Where poised on needle bright and slim,
And lighted by lanthorn dim,
The compass meets his eye.
Thence taught his darksome course TO steer,
He breathed no wish for day,
But braved the whirlwind's headlong might,
Nor once throughout the dismal night,
To fear or doubt gave way.
And what is Oft the Christians life,
But storms as dark and drear,
Through which without one blithesome ray
OF worldly bliss to cheer his way
He must his vessel steer
Yet let him ne'er TO sorrow yield,
For in the sacred page
A compass shines divinely true,
And Selfilluminated greets his view,
Amid the tempest rage.
Then firmly let him grasp the helm,
Throughout the pillows roar,
And soon his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
On Canaan's happy shore.

of angry feeling for parent to denounce a
disobedient child (; but to Danish her at ne
riod of general goodwill and hilarity, from the
hearth round which she has sat on so many
anniversaries Of the same day, expanding by
slow degrees from infancy 10 girlhood, and
then bursting, almost imperceptibly, into the
high-spirited and beautiful woman, is widely
different. The air Of conscious recttude, and
cold-forgiveness, which the old lady has as
sumed. sits i'll upon her; and when the poor
girl is led in by her sister, pale in looks and
brokenin spirt-not from poverty, for that she
could bear, but from the consciousness of UNI
deserved neglect, and unmerited unkindness
it is easy to see how much oft is assumed.
momentary pause succeeds the gin breaks
suddenly from her sister and throws herself,
sobbing, on her mothers neck. The father
steps hastily forward, and grasps her husbands
hand. Friends crowd. round to offer their
hearty congratulations, and happiness and har-
mony again prevail.
As to the dinner, it's perfectly delightful
nothing goes wrong, and every body is in the
best way Of spirits, and disposed to please and
be pleased. Grandpapa relates circumstan-
tial account Of the purchase Of the turkey,
chase Of previous turkeys, on former Christ
mas-days, which grandmamma corroborates
in the minutest particular. Uncle George
tells stories, and carves poultry, and takes
wine, and jokes with the children at the side
table. and winks at the cousins that are max
ing love, or being made love to, and exhila-
rates every body with his good humor and hos
pitality and when at last stout servant,
staggers in with gigantic pudding with
sprig of holly in the top, there is such laugh
ing, and shouting, and clapping of little chubby
hands, and kicking up of fat dumpy legs, as
can only be equalled by the applause with
which the astonishing feat Of pouring lighted
brandy into mince pies, is received by the
younger visters. Then the dessert and
the wine land the fun! Such beautiful
speeches, and such songs, from aunt Marga-
ret's husband, who turns out TO be such nice
man, and so attentive to grandmamma Even
grandpapa not only sings his annual song with
unprecedented vgor,but on being honored with
an unanimous encore, according to annual
custom, actually comes out with a new. one
which nobody but grandmamma had ever
heard before and a young scape-grace Of
cousin, who has been in some disgrace with
the old people, for certain heinous sins of
omission and ommission-neglecting to call,
and persisting in drinking Burton ale-as-
tonishes every body into commissions of laugh
ter by volunteering the most extraordinary
comic songs that were ever heard. And thus
the evening passes, in strain of rational
goodwill and cheerfulness, doing more to
awaken the-sympathies Of every member of
the party in behalf Of his neighbor, and to per-
petuate their good feeling during the ensuing
year, than all the homlies that have ever been
written, by all the dvines that have ever
lived.
