Portsmouth,, N H.. Dec IS, 1880.
The crew Of this ship arrived by special train
from Boston this morning, and at IL m. the Stars
and Stripes were hoisted, and the Macedonian
was In commission.
1t may be pleasant to order a ship In commits
sion on Christmas day, but it is quite the reserve
to those who participate in that affair, particular
ly when she has been reported ready for sea, and
there remains vast deal Of work on her vet to be
done, to render her efficient.
The rumor that we are to 60 to Charleston is
simply absurd. ship Of the Macedonian
heavy draught cannot cross that bar. We should
like, to run into Norfolk or Pensacola to at out
properly, and to thatc our men, who are now
well nigh frozen from being compelled to sleep
In a ship whose decks are covered with snow
and ice.
Phe following is a correct list of the officers
who, learn, have reported for the Macedonian:

Loves Future FOreshadowed.
BY FLORENCE PERRY.

How strange it will be, love-how strange
when we two
Shall be what all lovers become
You frigid and faithless-I cold and untrue
You thoughtless of me- and careless of you
Our pet names grown rusty with nothing to do,
Loves bright web unraveled, and rent and
worn through,
And life'S loom left empty-ah, huml
All me,
How strange it will bel
How strange it will be when the witchery goes,
Which makes me feel lovely to-day
When your thought of me loses its coleur de
When every day serves some new fault to dis
close
When you find I've odd eyes, and an every
day nose,
And wonder you could for moment suppose
l was out of the commonplace way
All, me,
HOW strange it will be
How strange it will be love-how strange
when we meet,
With just such q chill touch of the hand !
When my pulses longer delightfully."- beat
At the thought of your coming, the sound of
your feet,
When 1 watch not your going adown the long
street,
When your dear loving voice, now SO thrill
lingly sweet,
Grows harsh in reproach command
All, me,
How strange it will bel
How strange it will be, when we willingly stay
Divided the dreary day through!
Or, getting remotely apart as we may,
Sit chilly and silent, with nothing to say,
Or coldly converse On the news of the day,
In a wearisome, old married folk sort of way ;
l shrink from the picture-dont you?
All, me,
How strange it will bel
Dear love, if your hearts do grow torpid and
old,
AS so many hearts have done
If we let our love perish with hunger and cold,
If we dim all life's diamonds and tarnish its
gold
If we choose to live wretched and die uncon-
soled,
Twill be strangest of all things that ever were
told,
As happened under the sun!
All, me,
How strange it will be

ori&ina1 Tale.
Written for THE ALLEGHANIAS
THAT SLEEGH-RIDE.
BY TOBIAS TANDEM.

"There's that anxiously expected snow
at last, thank goodness And now I'll
get that sleigh-ride l won SO fairly, though
| must say, at tremendous selt-sacritice.
But the ride had to be had, at all haz-
ards. Ha, ha, ha! Hurrah ~
1t was dark, damp, disagreeable De-
cember day, and the leaden atmosphere
seemed to benumb the faculties and op
press the senses of everybody. 1t was
day when a persons imagination would
wander back to the bright, invigorating
days of spring, to the pleasant, calm days
Of summer, to the balmy, refreshing days
of autumn-and then unwillingly return
to this particularly uncomfortable Decem-
Der dav, rendered doubly unbearable by
the comparison. 1t was day when, had
a person occasion to go out of doors, he
would perform his labors with expedition,
so as to get back in again or, had he
business down town, would stalk silently
and swiftly along, as if the destroyer or
an urgent creditor was after him. 1t was
a day when even the tricksome little lap
dog and sportive feline accompaniment,
generally SO full of life, seemed completely
under the weather, and lay coiled up by
the stove, silent and unapproachable.
And no wonder. Everything seemed
wrong-topsy-turv down. The
mildest and most even-tempered felt dis
posed to grum5le at the want of discern
ment shown by the clerk in giving US
such weather.
The streets were almost deserted. Save
and except an occasional pedestrian, whose
business engagements, perhaps, overbal-
anced his inclination, animation was sus-
pended.
l was aroused from a dreamy reverie
into which / had fallen, by the above ju-
bilant and slightly triumphant exclama-
ton, proceeding from the coral lips of my
fascinating friend, Miss Julia Leighton.
The way it came was this:

A BAsHFUL MAN.-W ashington Irving
at party in England one day, playfully as
serted that the love of annexation of the
Anglo Saxon on every occasion proceeded
from its mauUaise honte rather than its
greediness. As a proof he cited the story
of bashful friend of his, who being ask
ed to dinner party, sat down to the ia
bic next the hostess in great excitement,
owing his recluse life. A few glasses of
wine mounting to his brain, completed
his confusion, and dissipated the small re-
mains of his presence of mind. Casting
his eyes down, he saw on his lap some
white linen.
"Good heavens" thought he that's my
shirt, protruding at my waistband p'
He Immediately commenced to tuck in
the offending portion of his dress but the
more he tucked in, the more there SEEM
ed to remain.
At last he made a desperate, effort,
when sudden crash around him, and
scream from the company, brought him
to his senses.
He had been all the time stufhng the
table cloth into his breeches, and the move
had swept every thing off the table
Thus our bashful friend annexed q ta-
ble-cloth, thinking it was the tail of his
own shirt.
