Residence of Santa Claus.

Rev T. " Moore, D. D., of Richmond, in
one of his letters from Switzerland, published
recently in the Richmond Wing, says that in
his journey from Alpnacht to Brienz there was
one point of interest to every lover of children.
He says: awe passed very near the residence
of the famous St. Nicolaus Won der Fleu, whom
every child knows under the name of Santa
Claus, Kriss Kringle, Or St. Nicholas. He
lived very near this road, and was in early life
a soldier, in later Counsellor of State, and for
many years hermit and living as he did SO
near to the time when Christianity was intro
duced into Germany, he became, after his
death, the patron Saint of Germany, and near
ly every hut in this Unterwalden district has a
portrait of Brother KLAUS, as he is usually
called by the peasantry of Germany. Isuppose
few Of the Saints on the roll of canonization
have as enviable an amount of reverence and
love as that given by the thousands Of little low
ing hearts that devoutly trust in the benignant
kindness at Christmas times Of good old Santa

HOLIDAYS DREAM,
AFTER TOO MUCH EGG-NOG
By the Bard of the Emporium Of Fashion.

By the Bard of the Emporium Of Fashion.
/ dreamed 1 went to Mandelbaum's
A suit of clothes to buy,
But when l wakened up again
/ found I'd dreamed q lie.
For there, to my expectant gaze,
My seedy garments still appear;
In injured innocence" display
The sequence of ''gay New YearW
My 'trowsers" have gone on bust
Especially about the knees
Which with the almost cootness, say,
''You may darn" me if you please"
Asking why their covering is so scanty,
When shin ptasters are so plenty?
My elbows too, have grown so stout,
They're always liable to be out"
My pants are real secessionists;
For they'v We seeded from my vest;
The space between, in spite of fate,
Insists on forming neaO State.
And since good names are rather scant,
I've called the state the STATE OF WANT.
For all the force of abrams" might
Could never make them re-unite,
Since if they meet in the old place,
They'd split q dozen more for spite.
And so to have my dream come true.
To Mandelbaum's l went,
And got splendid suit of clothes
For little money spent;
Went straightway home, and said to Sue
Behold your darling JohnP'
cpl Jaw(n) you, sir" she says, and so
She really did, L II swear,
AS and another three legged stool
Went sprawling on the stair.
The children hid. She screamed aloud
But when she heard me groan,
She came to see me-woman like
And found I was her John.
She took me up and my sore head
Unto her bosom pressed;
But half believed me some one else,
Until aUaS addressed.
Now, I am fright side up with care
I have word for all;
Whoever wants good clothes and cheap,
Go straight to MANDELBAUMS.
But lest your pride should get a fall,
Before to buy you go,
If you've wife as true as mine
You'd better let her know.

A perpetual Session of Congress.

The Cortland (M ~ Democrat says that
we are threatened by the Radicals with what
the trainers of the Constitution never contem-
plated, and from which they would have shrunk
with alarm, viz /: perpetual session of Congress.
Whenever legislative body aims at supreme
power, and the establishment of tyranny over
the State, it always commences by making its
session permanent. It was done by the hated
Long Parliament of England, and by the French
Convention of 1893. The Rump at Washing
ton, which expires on the 4th Of March, and
which, according to all precedents that have
governed since the Constitution was adopted
would not meet again until December following
is to be made to convene at noon OF the same
day on which it dissolved The meaning OF this
is usurpation of the powers Of the President
They met to sit in Washington, and strip hin
of all his Constitutional powers, even if they de
not depose him. The Rump, through junti
of its members, is to exercise legislative, execu
tive and judicial powers. This, we repeat, il
what is intended by perpetual session of Con
gress. Thad. Stevens, Ben. Wade and Chas
OuLluCI dlC W NC Jul OOFCluMOut
our Robespierre, Danton and Marat. Their de
crees, regulated by Congress that never de
bates or discusses, are to be the supreme law O.
the land. The Constitution is to be set aside
and a vile tyranny substituted in its place.
The Richmond Enquirer says that there are
no good reasons existing at present to make
us despair of the Republic. The Southern
States, with their thorough and unchangine
conservatism, cannot long be denied their legit-
innate weight and, united with the conserva
tive element at the North they will be sufficient
to check and overbalance the destructive radi-
calism of the socialists
Besides, the Supreme Court has come to the
rescue, and the great respect entertained by the
people for that tribunal, will beget a healthy
reaction, even among the Radicals themselves.
To borrow figure and thought from Mr..
Carlyle, we would say, that ten days ago, the
ship of state seemed off Cape Horn in storm,
and the Palinurus, Thad. Stevens, was trifing
with the peril, by piping the negro part of the
crew to the deck, and setting them to voting
as the only means of doubling or of escape
Just when all hope was lost, that old and well
tried pilot, the Supreme Court, took the helm
in hand, and called for the chart. The course
was set the ship obeyed the helm sweetly, the
breakers have been left behind, the storm il
abating, the ship rides easily, and the dreaded
Horn proves in the clearer light, to be in reality
the Cape of Good Hope With these brighter
prospects gladdening the horizon and spreading
along the sky, away with all dispair Of the Re
public, all thought Of monarchy!

THE Duty OF ECONOMY. this season of
adversely, when no man knows what the NOR
row may bring forth, it is the duty ofthe Church,
of the press, and of every thoughtful and con-
siderate individual as well, to keep constantly
before the people our real condition, political
and material. We should TRY to chose to us
judgment, let us know among ourselves what is
good
The times are full Of change, and that man
omnous muttering Of the storms ofanarchy and
revolution that now lower around the political
horizon. 1t becomes us then to put our house
in order, to husband the little the war has left
us, to practice the strictest economy in every
detail Of domestic life, and to undertake no
scheme of business of which we do not see
clearly the end-Ri;ch Ecanai,aer.

Prophetic Sagacity

Under this caption, the Richmond E!caminer
publishes an extract from petition to the Va.
Legislature, written in lS4S, by Hon. A. II. H..
Stuart of this place. The Eraminer says:
1.-THE prediction then made in reference to
the Pacific railroad as an inev,tabte event is be-
ing verified, Notwithstanding it was then re-
garded, by many, as extravagant and impos-
sble. Mr. Stuart has always been noted for
practical good sense ond sagacity in reference to
this class of questions, and we regret that in
stead of the empty honor of seat in Congress,
he is not now a member of the General Assem-
bly, of the Commonwealth, where so much re-
mains to be done to promote and develope oul
material resources.
