For the Spirit of the Age.
Christmas in the Corner.
BY ELFRIDA wHsT.

It's Christmasl Yes, merry, gladstone
Christmas; when light hearts speak gayly
to hearts as glad as they. The morning
came, wrapt in clouds and feecy o and
wrought for our feet a mantle soft as rich
est velvet and pure enough for an angels
footstep. The moor came, and the sun,
dazzling, brilliant, burst forth high above
our heads in glory, hailing the anniversary
Of the birth of the Son O flood.
Well, it is gorgeous scene the out
doors, glittering i n radiant sunlight like /.
land Of silver; and happy they who MAJ
go out, gladstone as nature, and enioy tn,
fullness of her beauty. / remember Ion.
ago, when / was a little girl, how ioyou
was the Christmas festival. Half a doze,
little cousins and friends shared our happ;
ness. But It's changed now. 1t is Chris
mas, and ! sit here in the corner alone. saw
my Mother dear, who is ever by my sid,

Two Nuts for the Public Knucklesto crack.

If a sober man lies down across the public
highway, and refusing to get up when polite
lyrequested, thereby frightening a taxpaying,
free thinking, quietly disposed citizens horse,
and compels his rider to dismount and walk
through the mud and lead the astonished
brute by this unusual spectacle on the high
way, is that man considered a public nuisance
or not? If he is, by what name shall we
call a drunken man doing precisely the same
thing Does the fact of his being drunken
mitigate the offence in him and demand a
more lenient appellative at our hands. By
what authority does the drunken assume the
prerogative of lyingju just where he pleases up
on the peoples highway to brighten the peo-
pies horses and compel the people to dis
mount and foot it through mud, when riding
, is just as cheap? Has a greater than Caesar
decreed it Such liberties with the highways
5 would not be granted a sober citizen, then
y why should it be tolerated in a drunken citi-
5 zen? Why give the drunkard such extraor-
/ binary privileges over the sober man? Who
5 is this strange lawgiver come in our midst?
If a mechanic exposes his steam engines,
: his machinery, his instruments of martial
music, his chinese gongs and fire works on the
public highway, and sets them in full blast to
show what they can do, and thus brighten the
a peoples horses until their riders com fort is
k set aside and their necks periled, the said me-
chanic would be considered a nuisance and
would receive imperative orders to remove
# these exhibitions of his industry and skill to
a more appropriate place. At the same time,
and among the same people, the whiskey
) peddler is quietly allowed to set up or lay
! down upon the highway just as many speci-
q mems of las skill and industry, in the shape Of
drunken men, as he pleases, and nothing is
said. No clustering functionary, after the
fashion of a district constable, comes along
g and taps him on the shoulder and esders him
d to remove his wares to an appropriate place.
Why this distinction? Does the selling OF
ID whiskey place the seller above the power TO
er do wrong? Does it shower immortal honors
upon him and render him a god that all 9TH
ers shall bow down at his cart wheel shrine?
re Is it treason to question his rights in the pre-
misses? If not, let somebody make haste and
u set these things right. Crack these nuts
lr with your knuckles, citizens,

Our Apology.

1t is not often that we have to apologize to
our readers for lack of Editorials ; for as a
general thing, the quantity, is better than the
guilty thabrxe offer them. RsA fhis week,
we are deficient, in both respects; and we
have a very good excuse to give. 1t is well
known, and that feelingly, painfully, to most
of our readers, that Pork has been a very
scarce article in our community, this season.
We had hunted, drummed, smelt and inquir-
ed, until we began to conclude that our
smokehouse and larder was to go bare this
year. With a Observation-Disclosures
air. we seated ourself at the table Editorial
at the appointed time, to dish up our week..
condiments, when we learned that some Hog
could be bought over at the Depot, if re woul
be in time. Well, we did hurry-and afte
waiting halfa-day, finally succeeded in cal
turing a few grunters; at enormously hig
prices.
Having been thus fortunate, or unfortunat
as the case may be, we have been busy TT
ing to 'save our bacon" and for this reasC
our Editorial columns are very lean, this wee
but our Pork is fat enough-that is, VIII
little we found money enough to pay for.
With this apology, we beg our readers
pardon US for the scarcity of Editorials. 0
Correspondents, however, furnish an unusl
quantity of original matters.

God tQDdirect Alright bis steps, and especially
noao, as he expects soon to take a rib.
There by herlone window, at this late hour
OF night, is a poor maniac in one of her spells :
OF deep sadness. And from the iron crate of
another window comes the shrieks, means
and midnight cries, the complaints of those
unfortunate beings. They watch the advan-
cling footsteps of the Waterman, and as he
passes, wonder how many more circles he
will have to complete, IN going around the
building before daylight. Now It's morning;
We hear the sound Of the deep toned bell, call
ing all to arise and the perform
ance of their daily routine of duties, while
the Waterman hurries away to convert day
into night. He is not one who works while
it's yet day but at its dawn his duties cease.
And ! must away on my errand-which is to

Here is one more object of compassion |

Well, he says he is like Momus was when

and know his thoughts, whether he intended

Some one has played off a trick on him, and
now he who only a few days since had gold

ld4 Well, my young friend, in looking over tn
I'd works of our Creator, we often overlook ma

no we would ask you, is not the eye a true wiz

nut rightly noticed, seldom d~eceives. Althoug

~ Notwithstanding we had printed a
large number of copies of the Age last week
more than necessary to supply our subscri-
bers-so many new ones nave come in since,
that the edition is already exhausted. Fol-
this reason we are unable to supply many
who have requested copies of the first No. Of
the year. We have plentyof room, however,
for any number to b~esupplied with the forth.
coming issues. Let every body send on and
get one of the best papers in the country al

We sincerely thank the numerous friend:
who have aided SO materially in increasing
our list. We hope they win not "weary il

will continue to send us in subscribers an,
we promise to furnish them with a pape

A Correspondent in Henderson county, pro-
poses the agitation of the subject, to demand
of the next session of our Legislature the pas
sage of a resolution, by which the adoption
or distinction of a Pronibitory law, separate
and district from all political issues, may be
submitted to the people. Our Correspondent
expresses the opinion that such a law would
be ratified by a majority Of the voters, if it
could be thus submitted.
We lay the suggestion before our readers
for their elaboration, with the only remark,
that the great difficulty in our minds is, Ao1o
to keep it out of politics? Temperance men
can keep them apart but ~demagogues will
mix it up, in spite of all we can do. That is
our fear. We go in for it though, if it can be
done.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

CoNGREss.-Since our last, Congress has
been engaged, in both houses, chiefly with
discussing Nicaraguan affairs. 1t seems that
the President and his Cabinet, although not
endorsing Com. Paulding's action in a~rresting
Gen. Walker en- Nicaraguan soil, are disposed
to excuse him on the ground of an honest in
~tention simply to discharge what he conceiv-
ed to be his duty. A call having been made
upon the President for all documents calcula-
) ted to shedlight on the subject, he hasPrompt-
r w laid them before the Senate, which, as will
5 be seen by reference to our News department,
!, elected quite an animated debate. Members
: from the South, generally, and many Of the
n friends of the Administration from non-slave-
n holding States, take ground against the Pres
? ident's views. The whole southern press,
* almost without exception, also make issue
with the Administration. 1t is confidently
ne predicted, that the result of the arrest viii
be, the procuring for Walker a large armysof
: volunteers, and that he will be able to accom-
plish his designs much more readily than be-
to fore his interruption. The spirit of indigna-
) a ton seems to increase, in the South, on acs
he count Of Walkers arrest under the circum-
vel -sNllsk Fff4xSTh intstBgsneA Aomt
7el Kansas is of so unreliable and conflicting a
character, that it is impossible to learn the
cry true state of affairs. One account is, that the
free state men, satisfied with the aspect Of
uir- things, have disbanded their warlike forces,
our are content that the State will reject the slave
this ry feature ofthe constitution. Another account
ent" is, that the free State men are divided in re
rial, lation to candidates for Governor, &c. and
eky on this account it is expected thoy will be
Hogs defeated. Mr.. Denver, the newly appointed
-ould Secretary, seems to endorse the action Of
after Walker and Stanton, in the territorial affairs
cap and there is a rumor, that he received private
high instructions to this effect, from the Presi
dent. It is all doubt and difficulty in arri
mate, wing at any information concerning this per
Y try picking matter.
eason FROM UTAH-It is also difficult to receiv
week reliable advices. One statement is, that th
what Mormons have burnt the bridge at Fol
,r. Bridges, thus preventing the approach of til
ers to q. S. army to Salt Lake city, and that the
Our have set fire to the grass on the plains, thu

companions who once came around me,

land whence they may never return; 9TH
ers joyous as Of old are tasting the full
pleasures of this season. The inyalids
chamber is too gloomy for them. The faint

who enjoy it are never satisfied. 1t is full
of beauty to those who have never tasted
