A CHRISTMAS TALE.

While the last century was fourishng,
there dwelt in what is now a famous city
not mile from Boston, an opulent wild
ow lady, who once afforded queer illus
tration ofthat cold compound called "hu-
man nature" Il was a Christmas Eve
one Of those old fashioned winters which
were so bitter cold, The old lady put on
an extra shawl; and as she Rugged her
shivering frame, she said to her faithful
negro servant -
" It's terrible cold night Scip. am
afrnid my poor neighbor, Widow Green,
must be suffering. Take the wheel5ar-
row, SciP,-fll it full of wood. Pile on
a good load and tell the poor woman to
keep herself warm and comfortable
But before you 60, Scip, put some wood
on the fire, and make me nice mug OF
flip"
These last orders were duly obeyed
and the old lady was thoroughly warmed
both inside and out. And now the trusty
Scip was about to depart on his errand
Of mercy, when his considerable mistres.
inierposed again.
Stop, Scip. You need not go now
The 10eather has moderated"

A THRILLING ROMANCE.
CHAPTER I.

She stood beside the alter, with a
wreath Of orange buds upon her head
upon her back the richest kind O. duds.
Her lover stood beside her with white
kids and dickey clean-the last was twen-
ty-one years old, and the fust was seven
teen.
The Parsons job was over-every
one had kissed the bride, and wished the
young folks happiness, and danced, and
laughed and cried. The last kiss had
been given and the last word had been
said, and the happy pair had simmered
down, and sought the bridal bed.
CHAPTER II.
She stood besides the wash-tub. with
her red hands in the suds, and at her sir
shod feet there laid a pile Of dirty duds
her husband stood beside her-the cross
est man alive--the last was twenty-nint
years old and the fust was twenty five.
The heavy wash was over, and the
clothes hung out to dry-and Tom had
stuck his finger in the durty baby's eye
Tom had been spanked and supper made
upon crust Of bread, and then the bride
and bridegroom went grumbling off tc
bed.

A FEW WORDS WITH OUR SUBSCRIBERS
Our published terms are $3.50 per annum,
Invariably in adrance; but as the past season
has been an unusually difficult time to raise
money, on account of the failure of the crops,
we have been compelled to deviate from the
rule in many cases. But now, as the country
has been blessed with good crops, and all our
subscribers are no doubt able to pay the small
demands We hold against them, we must insist
on the immediate settlement of all old scores,
and strict advance pay in the future. We
shall give reasonable time after this notice
for all to pay up, and such as neglect it will be
dropped from the list of subscribers, and their
accounts will be placed in proper hands for
collection. We are compelled to adopt this
summary mode of obtaining our dues in order
to meet demands which have accrued against
us for paper and other expenses while we
have been indulging our patrons.
Those who are unable to raise money can
pay US in flour, wheat, corn, potatoes or wood
for all of which we will allow the highest
market price.

Kirkwood ANA Dodge Meet ON

INC STUMP
Te Great Augustus Cesar Gettet1 in q
Passion
We learn from the Burlington Hawkey.
that Gen. Dodge and Mr.. Kirkwood met In
discussion on the stump ut Oska'oosa last
Friday. Augustus Cesar was completely
vanquished. He openly defended the insti
tuition OF slavery and declared his readiness
to lend his pei sonal aid to capture fug tive
| laves. He conteadsd that slavery was a
civilizing and Ohristianizing institution-
that the poor negroes were taken from the
heather jungles Of Africa, enlightened, civ
ilzed and finally saved in heaven lie
spoke in wild, ranting manner, and was
greatly excited. In the course of Mr.. Kirk
woods remarks tho General lost his temper
and his dignity completely. Mr.. X. said
that he had predicted that the Democrats
of the North would before many years favor
the revival of the slave trade, because, as
they would claim, slavery was q christianiz.
ing institution "but," said he, turning smil-
ingly TO Gen. Dodge, 81 didn't expect il,
to commence quite SO soon." The General
sprang to his feet and declared that if Mr..
X. said that he (Gen. d. was ia favor of
the slave trade he was liar, and that, it he
repeated it, he would ''cram the Ie doom
his throat"
Mr.. K, without any excitement whatever,
remarked that, if the General was speaking
fgura,ively, it was all right, but if he at
tempted the matter practically he would
d it very difficult matter. After some
more sparring, during which there was
many hearty laugh at the expense of the
General and no, one at the expense of his
opponent, the meeting, it being nearly
midnight, broke up.
The correspondent of the Ha~keye, in
speaking Of the effect of the discussion on
the audience, says:
cit is my candid opinion that, if the
whole number Of voters in the State could
have witnessed the proceedings, it would
have lost to General Dodge at least 10000
