A CHRISTMAS CAROL


o. gladsome the ray Of. balmy May, Hd
And sweet are the shades of June,
And August, too, with its golden hue,
And bright September's moon;
But in all the year there's none SO dear
AS bluff December's reign,
When Christmas old comes forth to hold
Once more his court again.
Though Summers hours, with blooming flowers
No longer deck the plain,
And Autumn's fed, with his tints of red,
And his fields Of golden grain t
Though the Wild wind shrill, Ger moor and hill
Enshes forth on its mission drear,
And the mournful breeze mid the leafess trees
Sings the requiem of the year.
Yet joysome's the mirth round the Christmas
hearth, 3 ct
And bright is the Christmas fire;
While merrily fly the moments by, ,y4:
n. And hopes our breasts inspire.
Then care malign must now resign
For once his wonted sway.
With jest and song-a jovial throng-
We Danish him away. 5e1-. i.fs.
Then merrily troll the wassail bowl.
Let all the world agree;
Come, pledge her toast that You love most,
And drink it with three times three.
Merry Christmas to all. both great and small,
Ring forth the blithesome chime;
And old friends meet and kind hearts greet,
Eyermore at the Christmas time.

Castor Oil for Leather.

We find in one of = our ex-
changes the following remarks re-
lative to the use Of castor oil in the
trades. more particularly It's appli-
cation to leather, than any other
oil known. When boots and shoes
are CREASED with it the oil will not at
all interfere with the polishing af-
terward, as is the case with lard,
olive or any other oil. In Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania, the old
leather hose of some Of the fire
companies were creased with it,
and found to become almost as
soft and flexible as new leather.
( Leather belts for transmitting
motion in machinery will usually
last three to five years, according to
the wear and tear they are expos
ed to; when creased with castor oil
they last ten years or more, as
they always remain flexible and
do not crack; ), besides this advan-,
tage, the castor oil will prevent
slipping, so that belt three inch
es wide impreguated with it, will
be equal to belt four and a half
inches without castor oil. 1t is
necessary, however, to wait TWEEN
ty-four hours, till the oil has disap-
peared from the surfuce and pen
etrated the leather, otherwise the
freshly creased surface will cause
slipping. The rats and other ver-
min detest anything impregnated
with castor oil, and will not touch

A Remarkable Game Of
ra srff Marbles.

The writer of the :sPen and Ink
Sketches" in the Florida Com
mercial, mentions an interesting
little incident connected with the
retreat southwark Of Mr.. Davis
and his Cabinet after the ,capitula-
tion of General Johnson "a
The party had stopped for rest
at the residence of a gentleman
near the Catawba river. The wri-
ter proceeds: 2 -. i
His dwelling, beautifully sitna-
ted, andsurrounded by ornate and
cultivated grounds, was reached a.
bout four o'clock P. NJ, and the
charming lady of the mansion,
with that earnest sympathy and
kindness which Mr.. Davis, in mis-
fortune, never failed to receive from
southern women, soon made every
man of the party forget his cares,
and feel, for time at least, "o'er
all the ills of life victorious"
After such slight renovation and
changes of their travel-soiled toll
cts as circumstances permitted,
an hour of refreshing rest, itwas
a novel sight to see Mr.. Davis and
Reagin, with a little son of their
kind host as their ally, playing
an interesting and we'll contested
game of marbles against his sec.
cond son, a boy of some ten years,
supported by General Breekin-
ridge and another Cabinet officer.
The game lasted nearly an hour;
and Notwithstanding the skill of
his opponents, Breckenridge, who.
plays the best game Of marbles of
any leading public man since.
Judge Marshall, and who with his
usual good luck, came off victor.
The youngsters, two bright,intel-
ligent Southern boys, will never
fofgetthat ardently disputed game
OF marbles with Mr.. Davis, who, to
their delight, seemed as much
at home with all the words of eau
ton and command, from "knnckle
down at taw' to "ronndings," as
