SCENES AT KRIN
GLE ALIAS ST. NICHOLAS 49,


- There are many pleasant spectacles to be
seen about the streets of a town like this on
the eve of Christmas 1t does me1fs eyes
good te look in at the variety stores and the
81 toy ihops, and see the preparations making to
astonish the children. That Kriss Kringle is
:, wonderful parsonage Claus, as the
Dutch call him-is the greatest and best of
all sanity personages. He stands A. No.
=, in our calendar Of holy people. We admire
all the rest,-we appreciate st. Polycarp St.
Ambrose, St. Ignatius and all the good and
holy men whose virtuous natures have been
tried in the fires of persecution and martyr
dom, and been prepared to slime as pure
gold in the New Jerusalem We have also
due reverence for the Saints Of modern
times, but somehow we cans sympatlize with
them as with that ancient Nicholas -we don't
mean the Russian Nick nor Old Nick, but the
. Jolly Dutch Saint,--whose face is so round
and funny, and his eyes so bright and twink
I, ling, and his hands so full OF goodies and who
81 makes SO many children happy. About the
) other habits Of the old Saint we don't know
much; he may be a sad dog the rest of the
= year,-arive hard bargains, take q. drop too
=, much, or be'troubled with some other huruaa
Is. infirnties ,-butthel love heshows for children
- proves that his heart is sound at the core, and
ike the Mantle of Charity, ought to cover a
multitude of sins.
Z Y But there are other pleasant things to be
x seen at Christmas, besides The exhibition of
parental lo.e, which, under the guise Of Kriss
: Kringfe or Santa Claus is preparing SO many
ssaHeet things, and sweet surprises for the
~ ,55 little ones at home. We can mention one
+. .eafious sight which fell under eur ohser-
sieB.- 1t was little black girl carrying
2 !. ifye turkey nearly as big as herself Tire
turkey seemed perfectly resigned to its fate,
looked meekly and ealmly upon the passers
bysiahd ON tle whole seemed to pity the small
.oseuant that carried it. and think that it had
T.kEesA deal the worst Of the bargaln. But
ssAe small servant was equally resigned to her
@ fate, nay, she was elastic, vigorous, and
q.
1T aAeeffpii the consciousness of carrying such.
turkey. gave pride to her eye, elasticity to
chg fSD, and . sort Of mock dignity to her

describes the appearance of the bride ON one of
these interesting occasions:

THE MAexoLIA.-The Louisville Courier
makes the following notice ofthe danger Of
the Magnolia in late storm. and of the
narrow escape of Capt. Thomasson from
drowning:
The Magnolia encountered terrific storm
at Natchez, but the boat was happily landed
before she received the force OF it. and no
damage was done. Many passengers, how
ever, were terribly frightened, as the fire
from the furnace blazed out on the decks, and
set the wood on the guards on fire.
Capt. Thomasson, who was on the lower
deck, and in the act of stepping out on the
guard fell overheard, and had most pro-
vidential escape from dro~ ming. 1t was very
dark, and amid the confusion and noise OF the
storm he was not zen to fall, and had to de-
pend solely upon himself for rescue. Although
burthened with an overcoat, and heavy boots,
he managed to swim, and first grasped fen
der, but not being able to retain his grasp, he
was swept away under the wheel but came
up alongside the guard, and finally reached the
rudder at the stern, and clambered up to the
deck, which he gained in safety, although
much exhausted. His presence Of mind
never deserted him for q moment, and to that
no doubt is owing his safety.

EThe Hon. w. r. Greathouse is most
emphaticaIly lady's man, and 10 at present
dispensing his devotions among the bellies Of
our city, most iavishly. We had the pleas
ure of listening to one of his love-n aking
speeches few evenings ago, and witnessing
its magical effects upon the lady. VIM. has
q very pleasant course of life marked out,
which may prove at times a little PerplexiDg,
but he is equal to any emergency; and since
he has resolved to devote the balance Of his
life to matrimony and politics, we think his
cup Of bliss will soon be full.
