that he would never recognise one of them
again, if they undertook such mean, un-
gentlemanly game. This quieted them. They
quit the ground, and in few days left the
bar for good but, in the meantime Bob be-
came friendly with us all, and particularly
with Yank, who he swore had more fight
in him than all the other Yankees he ever
saw before, whilst Yank was equally loud

he could whip in half the time. This was

st. Nicholas Visit.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro'
the house,
Not creature was stirring not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were all nesteled snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced through
their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and | in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap:
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter;
Away to the window flew like a FASH
Tore open the curtain and threw up the SASH
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre Of midday to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer;
With little old driver so lively and quick,
| knew in a moment it must be st. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And we whisteled and shouted and called them by
Now Dasher! now Dancer! now Prancer now
On, Comet on, Cupid on, Donder. and Blixen!
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall.
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
As the leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the
sky.
SO up to the house top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of ftoys--and st. Nicholas too;
And then in twinkling heard in the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof;
AS drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney st Nicholas came with a bound.
He dressed all in fur from his head to his foot.
And his clothes were all furnished with dust and
SCOT;
A bundle Of toys he had thrown on his back.
And he looked like pedlar just opening his pack
His eyes, how they twinkled his dimples how
merry!
His checks were like roses, and his nose like
cherryl
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow.
And the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke encircled bis head like wreath
He had broad face and little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like bowl full of
jelly.
He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old elf
And laughed when l saw him, in spite of myself;
wink OF his eye and twist of his head
Soon gave me to know that had nothing to
dread
He spoke not word, but went straight to his
work,
And filed all the stockings, then turned with a
jerk.
And laying his fingers aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whis-
tie,
And away they all flew, like the down off this
tie;
But | heard him eXclaim, ere he drove out of
sight,
merry Christmas to all, and to all goodnight.n

In Debt and Out of Debt.
BY DOUGLAS JERROLD.

OF what hideous progency Of i'll is debt
the father. What meanness, what invasions
of self respect, what doubledeaing. How
in due season it will carve the frank, open
face into wrinkles. like knife it will stab an
honest heart And then its transformation,
How it has been known to change goodv
face into Il mask OF brass, How with the
miserable custom Of debt, has the true man
become a callous trckster. A freedom from
debt, and what nourishing sweetness may be
found in cold water. what toothsomeness in
dry crust what ambrosa nourishment in
hard egg, BE sure Of it, he who dimes out
Of debt though his meal be biscnit and an
onion, dimes in the Apollo.
And then for raiment, what warmth in
thread-bare coat, if the tailor's receipt be
in your pocket. what Tyrian purple in the
faced waistcoat not owed for. how glossy
the wel-wom hat, if it covers not the aching
head of debtor Next, the home sweets
the outdoor recreation of the freeman. The
street-door falls not knel on his heart; the
foot Of the staircase creaks not through his
anatomy; at the rap.of his door he can crow
come in" and his pulse still beats health
fully, his heart sinks not in his bowels.
See him abroad How he returns look
for look with any passenger now he saunters;
now meeting an acquaintance, he stands and
gossips; but then this man knows no debt;
debt that cast a drop in the richest wine;
that makes the food Of the Gods mwhole-
some, indigestibe; that sprinkles the ban
quets of a Luculus with ashes, and drops
SCOT in the soup Of an emperor; debt that,
like the moth, makes vaueless turs and ve~
vets, inclosing the wearer in fostering pr-
son, (the shirt of Nessus was a shirt not paid
tor;) debt that writes upon frescoed halls the
handwriting of the attorney, that puts a
voice Of terror in the knocker debt, the in
visible demon that walks abroad with man,
now quickening his steps, now making him
look on all sides like hunted beast, and
which brings to his face the ashy hue of
DEATH as the unconscious passenger looks
upon him.
Poverty is bitter draught vet may and
sometimes can, with advantage, be gulphed
down. Though the drnker makes wry faces,
there may, after all, be a wholesome good
ness in the cup. But debt, however courte-
Gus it may be offered, is the cup of Syrck
and the wine, spiced and delicious though
it be, is poison. The man out Of debt, though
with flaw in his .jer<n, a crack in his shoe
leather and hole in his hat is still the son
of liberty, free as the singing lark above him;
but the debtor, though clothed in the utmost
bravery, what is he but serf out on a hoi-
day, slave to be reclaimed at any instant
by his owner, the creditor.
NV If
spring, see thy mouth water at a last weeks
roll; think threadbare coat the only proper
thing to wear; and acknowledge a whitewash-
ed garret the fittest housing place for a gen
tleman. Do this and flee debt So shall
thy heart be at rest, and the sheriff contoun-
ded.

The Limantour Case.

The public mind appears to be deeply in
terested in the developments that are being
made in the case of the Limantour Grant
This is very natural from the fact that it not
only interests every resident in the CITY, as
citizen, but it effects the pecuniary interests
of very large portion of the property hol-
ders of San Francisco.
From the evidence already before us, there
appears little room to doubt the illegality Of
the document upon which this claim is foun-
ded. At the commencement of last week.
Mr.. LaReintrie, well known citizen of this
city, announced by an advertisement that
he would undertake an exposition and de-
velopment of the frauds contemplated by the
Grant of Lmantour. His promised expo
sures, were anticipated on Wednesday, by
an Indictment of the grantee, by the Grand
Jury of the United States District Court,
whose conviction is apparently foreshadowed
by the confession of one Of his accomplices,
and confidential clerks Friday, before the
Grand Inquest of the county. and to the
officers Of the Government.
This combination of favorable disclosures
in so important a case, which involves. so
much of the interest and prosperity of the
citizens of our city, has very naturally in
spired in them bright hopes, for future re-
lease from the tangs Of this monstrous claim.
The reported confession of Emile Letan-
neur, confidential clerk of Limantour, unless
he can be inpeached, will establish the fraudu-
lent issue of this grant, and consign the holder
of it to infamy and prison. 1t is said that
he was taken before the Grand Jury on Fri
day, where he admitted the grant, which
was evidently a blank signed by General
Mchetorena, was filled up by himself in the
year 1852, at the city of Mexico, at the die
tation of Limantour, who designated the
dates and boundaries. He further admits
that he never was in the country until the
year 1850, when he arrived at Mexico, and
entered into the -ervice of Limantour, with
whom he has since remained. Admitting
his statements to be true, we say it establish
es the fact of the falsty of the document,
as it purports to have been written in ls43.
We shall watch with no little interest the
progress of the developments in this case,
which, we hope, will result in restoration
to our property Of their just and
legal rights.

Robert Burns was standing one day upon
the quay at Grcenock, when wealthy mer-
chant, belonging to the town, had the mis-
fortune to fall into the harbor. He was no
swimmer; and his death would have been in
evitable had not a sailor who happened to
be passing at the time, Immediately plunged
in, and at the risk Of his own life, rescued
him from his dangerous situation The
Greenock merchant upon recovering little
from his fright, put his hand into his pocket
and generously presented the sailor with n
shilling. The crowd who were by this time
collected, loudly protested against the con-
temptible insignificance of the sum; but
Burns, with smile Of ineifabIe scorn. en-
treated them to restrain their clamor, "For,"
said he, "the gentleman is of course the best
judge Of the value of his own life"
HAZEL EYED GIms.-Major Noah said
that "a hazel eye inspires at first Platonc
sentiment, which gradually but surely ex
pands into love as securely founded as the
Rock of Gibraltar" A woman with hazel
eye never elopes from her husband, never
chats a scandal, never sacrifices her husbands
comfort to her own, never finds fault, never
talks too much or too little, always is an en-
tertaning, intellectual, agreeable and lovely
creature
Man, says the anatomist, changes entirely
every seven years; "therefore," says Jones,
"my tailor should not ask me for the bill
contracted in 1848. ! am not the same per-
son, hence owe him nothing"
A u 4,
ton, "What is man." says "Chemically speak
ing, man is forty-ive pounds of car bon
and nitrogen, diff'used, through five and half
pals of water"
