Christmas Day.
BY CHARLES REESE

Awake my harp! for Christmas Day,
The mdddest wag in all the year,
BY old and young, by grave and gay,
Anew to be welcomed, will soon be here
Awake and rend me a roundelay;
For let the head do what it may,
The good old heart will have its way,
And merry lie on Christmas Day
This morning I heard an old bachelor say
To his pretty niece, "Evangcline. dear.
No presents from me on Christmas Day,
For lin terribly, wretchedly poor this
year"
"Dcar Uncle" she whispered, 81 hear
what you say,
But let your head decide as it may
Your generous heart will still have its
way
And presents you'll give me on Christ
mas Day
A thrifty young mother was sitting close by,
a thought of the bills they had to pay
Came into her head, and she said with Il
sigh,
"No books or new dresses for Christmas
Day"
But smile on her twin rosy lip, was
at play,
And | saw by the uncconomical way
She sat gazing at Warren and Percy
and May,
That tshewould give presents on Christ
mas Day
1t is worse than folly, because we are poor,
And cannot for presents give diamond
rings,
In the sweet face Of Heaven to fasten the
door
WhcE she comes to suggest other beau
ttul things,
A bird or blossom, fawn, or a flower
a bunch of brownheathor, u wreath o
blue thistle,
Tho dear to thy heart, to Child, will grow
poor,
When placed by the side of a two-penny
whistle.
The farcst Of tokens to lross often turns,
When its worth is computed by dollars
and cents,
a value more lasting true heart disccrns,
In the tone of the love which the gilt
represents.
Then do not be miserly, do not be sad,
Where there's will, there is often a way
To give is a virtue. and you may make glad
Young hearts, il you will, upon Christ
mas Day.
For jelly old fellow is Christmas Day,
With mirtl and music hc rules tlcroast,
And if for a turkey he cannot pay,
lie will drink and he merry on eggs and
toast
Then let the lead do just what it may,
The good old heart will have its way.
And mcrrily sing roundclay
From morn till night on Christmas
Day.

SINGULAR AFFAIR IL BOsTOS--d Hye Etopes
NTH and 1larries her Husbands LdicyeT-Ihe
Injured Husband in Pursuft.-Ihat portion OF
our CITY known as the "North End is consider
ably agitated at the present time, in view OF a
strange case of seduction and elopement which
TRANSFERRED last week The facts related to
us are as follows: In the year 1856, Mr.. John
d. Ingersoll, of No. II, Charter street, then
widower, became acquainted with Miss Adelne
l.. Ames, who hailed from Delhi, Greene coun-
ty, New York Mr. |. was pleased with the APP
pearance and manners of the lady, and soon
made proposals of marriage. He was an under
taker, and needed help.neet TO charm away
the melancholy induced by his profession They
were married by Rev. Mr.. Smithett, September
I'd, 1856, in Christ church, Salem street Mr.
Incersoll took his new bride to his own house IN
Charter street, where they have lived together
until Wednesday last, when he was made ac-
ouainted with the crushing intelligence that
Mrs. |. had taken husband No. 3, and departed
for some other locality.
1t appears that the tickle woman became en-
amored of Mr.. Geo. |. Yeager, young limb OF
the law, who had been trunsacting some business
or her husband in collecting bills during an ill
ness of the latter. Yeager is young man, and
he succeeded in ingratiuting himself into the
affections Of Mrs. l., during his visits TO the
house TO that extent that she consented to shake
off the moral coil which bound her to her first
husband, and, in defiance of the law, OF which
Mr.. Ieager protested to he an exponent, 10
marry him The seduction was effected during
weeks illness of Mr.. Ingcrsoll, and Heager
procured marriage certificate on Monday last,
bv authority of which Rev. Phineas Stowe per-
formed the marriage ceremony for the pair at
his house in Baldwin Place. After the ceremony
the lady returned to husband No. l, and on
Wednesday, on plea that she wanted to visit
her sister in Lowell, she left town. Husband
No. l conveyed her to the cars, where husband
No. was probably lying pertu, and the guilty
couple fled to parts unknown. 1t was not until
Friday last that Mr.. Ingersoll asccrtaned that
his wife had obtained another husband, and on
Saturday he procured some formidable docu-
ments and started in hot pursuit. Mr.. /. is a
very good undertaken, but whether he will over
take her remains to be seen.
Yeager is about twenty-six years old, and
resides in Cambridge; Mrs Ingersoll is forty
She represented to her first husband before
marriage that a large fortune was about to fall
to her, and the same story may have been told
to husband No. 2. The clipping pair carried off
some money and papers of considerable value,
belonging to Mr.. Ingersoll.

TIE SANcrITv OF TUE DoMEsTIc RELATIONS
OF THE Hos DANIEL E. SIcKLRs.-The follow
ing is from the IolOa State Democrat:
Sickles' career has been as varied, if not as
romantic, as that of hero of novel. His
early youth was spent in riot and debauchery,
among the vile women and vile men OF Church
street, New York. For years after he had
grown to mans estate, he was known as the
''loycr" of one of New York's most noted
courtezans. He was however, always known
to possess abilities of no common order, and
in course of time became lawyer and n poll.
tician The Democracy of New York city
elected him to the State Legislature, where he
was conspicuous for his intempernnce and his
shrcwdness, his vices and his sagacity. He
then devoted himself to the practice o! his
profession and to politics by turns, aud conse-
auently made little advancement in either.
Had he given to the law that entire devotion
of his apt and fertile intellect, he would have
gained an enviable position at the bar His
recklessness of character, however, weighed like
mill stone round his neck, and he took adyan'
tage of an acquaintance with the American
Minister at the Court of ST. James, to introduce
to the first circles of London the female whose
caUaLier sercieRte he had VIGOROUSLY been.-
Again, in order to circumvcnt rival faction OF
the Democracy, he broke into the Broadway
Postoffice, and stole package OF ballots which
had been deposited there for safe keeping. His
personal standing as n man and politician fell
to the lowest grade; and though he succeeded
in getting nomination for the State Senate, he
was ANONYMOUSLY beaten in a Democratic district
On the election Of Gen. Pierce, when Mr.. Blu
chanan was named for the Mission to England,
Mr.. Sickes was rendered the appointment of
Secretary of Legation. Shortly before his de-
parture for England he married Miss Teresa
Bagioli, the daughter of old Italian music
teacher of New York. Between old Madame
Bagioli and Sickles there existed very peculiar
relation, and mischevious peopleinsinuated that
the old lady paid Sickes' board at a fashionable
hotel. Miss Teresa, though well dressed and
good looking lady, was not conspicuous for
beauty, nor remarkable for accomplishments.
From the time of his going to England, Mr.
Sickes' fortunes have been constantly on the
mend.
