MERRY CHRISTMAS.
BY r. +. FULLER.

'Tis merry Christmas day!
Every one is glad and gay
All the children, carly hocking
Where they hung the empty stocking;
Never doubt but il will prove
Filled with pretty things they love-
Little gifts for girls or boys,
Sugar plums and cunning toys
For, the fairy, Santa Claus,
Riding on his winged horse,
Though so swift, is sure to stop
Over every chimney top,
Gliding down, as quick as thought
If he sees his favor sought,
And stocking hung for him,
He will fill it to the briml
One more popnlPr than he,
Seldom shall we chance to see
Though we view him, we must own,
With our fancy's eye alone!
As effects disclose cause,
So see children Santa Claus:
Every plaything he bcstows,
Clearly to his fancy shows
Him frisky little sprite:
Laughing, too, with all his might!
Happy, merry, light and airy,
Bright and bounteOus little fairy
Such one as never spoke,
But twas seasoned with joke:
Every glance a merry vile,
And his face made up to smilel
Useful people seldom be
Half so popular as he
That is, those sedate and grave,
Who the best intentions have,
Aud are careful to advise
Children always to be wise
Such may scarcely touch the springs
Which control these lively things,
With the pulses leaping wild
And the spirits of II child
Privileged to he as gay
As their hearts desire to-day
81 nta Claus is in the field;
And we sober seniors yield
Let the merry fairy charml
Let him bear away the palm
With the children's hcarts-though ho
Stir them up to lively glee
Let them laugh, for now's the time,
With the merry Christmas chime!
Nor, to join the laugh, refuse
Merrimcht may have a use,
Mingled with the gay good will,
Which the childrens bosom fill.

The Sipoe of Paris.

LoNDoN. N6v. pa correspondent of
the Observer, writing from Versailles on
the 18th, gives gloomy picture Of the
German situation. 1t seems thai NO bonn
bardment'of Paris is possible before next
'pring, as the heavy guns have not yet
been brought up, owing to the. muddy
roads. The Germans are constructing en-
trenchmeatS in !heir rear to guard against
attack from the French. 1...
The hospitals, too, are said to be in a
bad condition aud filed with sick, who
die rapidly, and their places are immedi.
ately filed with new victims. The preva-
lent diseases are pneumonia ami small.
pox
The French continue with incessant ac-
tivity throwing up new works and urming
them with guns, whereof they seem to
have an inexhaustible supply. They are
digging rife pits, aud also apparently con-
structing mines. An Ominous silence has
prevailed for some days in their large
forts, and there has been very little firing.
Great bodies of troops are exercised every
day or the plains in trout Of Mt Valerien,
On the peninsula bounded by the Seine,
and the roads leading south Of the city.
Large quantities Of vegetables are still
in the fields around the city, aud parties are
every day engaged in digging and convey
ing them inside.

Eneland's predicament,

The Courier Journal says: "Notwith-
standing the menacing attitude of
RUSSIA and the resolute assertions of
England and Austria, it is said that no.
body outside OF England believes that
there will be another war in Europe at
present. 1t is believed in Vienna and
Berlin and st. Petersburg that England,
after a few vigorous protests and finding
no encouragement from the other pow
ers, viii subside and give Russia her
point in the Eastern question. In Lon
don, however, the case is different. The
journals clamor for war unless Russia
gives up her idea Of nm abrogation of the
Paris treaty. The English Cabinet is
divided on the question and it is sail the
peace party will triumph and give Eng
lands consent to a surrender of the
fruits Of The Crimean victory"

THE FEELING IN ENGLAND.

AAih bAAEIA4tU IN GNULANDs
The London Morning Post says edi-
~torialiy that the cause of France has now
become the cause of Europe. All neu-
tral States are bound to assist her to OBJ
tain a peace and leave her intact, or aid
her to continue the war, in order to hold
Prussia engaged, and while engaged,
with Austria, Italy and Turkey, whip
Russia into submission. Either Prussia
must sign an easy peace to Lberate her
forces OF FRANCE declining will once
o prove herself the savior of Europe.
The Standard has a bitter attack up
on Russia and Prussia, who it says con-
spired to commit a mOnstrous act of
pertidy and violence, an audacious con-
tempt of morality, by introducing a Sc
ries OF endless European wars. No
English ministry would dare not give
light to SO. insolent a challenge.
The following is another analysis of
Earl Granville's note in reply to Prince
G~ottschakof.. 1t denies the right Of
Russia to recognize the European situa-
ton as releasing her from the obligations
OF a solemn treaty, 1t also denies as
Stunning as true that if one contracting
power considers itself released from a
treaty the other is at liberty to disregard
it. 1t further states that instead of
making any such an announcement
Russia should have invited the powers
to consider TIE subject.

II RIGHT SPIRIT.

The Knoxville Chronicle OF u recent
date contained an editorial SO different
III spirit from that usually INDUCED in
by ultra political papers hat it is worthy
Of notice. Under the caption Of Ought
We Complain p the editor argues that
the condition of the country generally
ID much better than could have been ex-
pected six years ago, when the two sec
tons Of the Union were arrayed in dead
" hostility against each other. After
referring to the lamentabla state Of af-
flirs then, he asks. "who at that time
supposed our condition would be so ia
vorable in the short space of five years,
rs it now is? Did any one suppose that
the social relations between the two sec
tons would be more p~leaant 2" and
then goes on to say, We do not mean
to say that all prejudice has been forgot
ten, We are sorry we cannot say it, but
we think we have made some progress
even in that direction. We hope.to for
get foolish sectional prejudices entirely,
by and by. The man who does not la
Dor for this end is an enemy to his coun-
try"
There is something encouraging in
reading such sentiments, coming from
the source they do, but it would be ten
fold more encouraging were it not for
the conviction daily forced upon the read
ers of the Chronicle, and like papers, that
one OF the main cards oSthe Radical par
ty has been, and is, to keep alive, as
much as possible, the foolish sectional
prejudices' referred to. And while we
endorse thoroughly the sentiments of the
Chronicle in this particular article, it
seems to us there is much self-condem-
nation in the concluding sentence Of the
above extract: "The man who does not
labor for this end"--labor to bring about
harmony and good feeling between the
people lately arrayed in deadly hostility
against each other-"is an enemy to his
country"
We wish every Radical and every Dem
ocratic editor in the country could be
controlled by this sentiment in preparing
his political articles; but unfortunately
most OF them are not; and, in this res
pect, we know Of but few who have sim
ned more ~grievously than the editor OF
the Chronicle.
The very excellent article under con
sideration concludes as follows:
"While we cannot say much OF the IA
~cilities for acquiring an education in our
own State, they are equal now to what

EIRnrE.

~ 4E'' i'o"S "LlellS III Europe
have assumed o very threatening aspect.
1t seems that Russia, taking advantage
If the existing war between France and
Prussia, intimated to EngLndSher inten-
ton otdisrcgardng certain articles of The
treaty Of 1886, the signing Of which by
herself, Prussia, France, England, Sardi-
ma and Turkey, brought an end to the
Crilnean war. The articles obnoxious
to Prussia provided for the neutrality of
the Blnck Sea; that it should be open TO
the commerce OF all nations, hut forever
.orhiddcn 70 the war flag, either Of the
powers on its shores, or Of any other
power. This portion Of the treaty Rus
4ia cliims to have been d~isregury!ed by
England and France, and that conse-
Iuently she is absolyed from any longer
observance Of it. The particular viola-
tons complained Of by Russia, are as
follows; The cruise of the Prince Of
Wales on the Black Sea, in an English
trlga'c; a similar trip of Lord Bulwcr
Litton, subsequently; tho apIear,ncc or
IN Austrian squadron Mt Vprna, q Turk
ish city on the Black Sea, when the en-
pcror Of Austria WIS there; and lastly
I voyage Of tho Sultan ia \ French frig-
use.
England regards these, and perhaps
properly, as very fimsy pretezts for the
violation of a treaty that interferes with
Isussia's naval power, but which she was
compelled to sign in 1856 in order tose-
cure peace. It seems evident that the
Russian Government is simply trying to
take an unfair advantage ofthe facts that
France is helpless, England unarmed
and Austria exposed to the loss of her
German provinces by King Williams
method Of German unification. and, By
breaking through the restraints of the
treaty, to place itself in a position to car
y ont any designs it may have AGAINST
Turkey. Most of the great powers in
crested, Prussia excepted, are very in
diGnant at the course pursuedby Russia,
and in England, the least ready for war
VI any of them, the excitement is intense.
1t may be that Russia viii back down
from her position, and simply ask for a
consideration of the question by those
interested. II, however, she adheres to
her expressed determination to violate
the treaty at I'll hazards, there is scarce
" a possibility of a general European
war being averted.
1t is indeed to be hoped that it may
be; but should it come to the worst,
France at least, can look forward with
brighter hopes of deliveranco from her
present unhappy condition. Even as it
is, the general belief in Europe that Prus-
STA and Russia have been working Sc
cretly together and into each others
hands, has created a vast amount Of feel
ing for France and a stronger disappro-
baton Of the pertinacious way in which
King William tries to keep his hand up
on her throat.
