The history of the government
shows no other instance of the abro.
CATION OF treaty by Congress. In.
stances have sometimes occurred
where the ordinary legislation of Con.
gress has, by its conflict with some
treaty obligations OF the government
toward foreign powers, taken effect as
an infraction of a treaty, and been
generally declared to be operative to
that result. But neither such lepisla-
ton, nor such judicial sanction OF the
same, has been regarded as an abro
Cation, even for the moment, of the
treaty, On the contrary, the treaty.
IN such cases, still subsists between
the governments, and the casual in
traction is repaired by appropriate
satisfaction In the maintenance of the
treaty.

HYMN On THE NATIVITY

It was the winter wild,
While the heaven-born Child
An meanly wrapt in the rude mangcr lies;
Nature in awe to him
Had dofied her gaudy trim,
With her great Master so to sympath ise.
II was no reason then for her
To wanton with the sun, her lusty paramour.
Only with speeches fair
She woos the gentle air
To hide her guilty front with inno cent snow;
And on her naked shame,
Pollute with sinful blame,
The sanity veil of maiden white to throw;
Confounded, that her Makers eyes
Should look 20 near upon her foul deformiiies.
But he her fears TO cease,
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly
Sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing
And, waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes universal peace through sea an'
Land.
No war, or battles sound,
Was heard the world around
The idle spear and shield were high up hung
The hooked chariot stood
Unstained with hostile bloOd
The trumpet spake not to the armed ihrong;
And kings sat still with awful eye,
AS If they surely knew their sovereign Lor,
Was by.
But peaceful was the night,
Wherein the Prince of Light
His reign Of peace upon the earth began;
The winds, with wonder whist
Smoothly the waters kist.
whispering new Joys TO the mild ocean,
who now hath quite forgot 10 rave,
While birds of calm sit broOd!ng on the charmed
Wave,
The shepherds on the lawn,
Or ere the point Of dawn,
Sat simply chatting in a rustic row;
Full little thought they then,
That the mighty Pan
Was kindly come to live with them below;
Perhaps their loves, or else their sheep,
Was all that did their silly thoughts SO busy
Keep.
When such music sweet
Their hearts and ears did greet,
As never was by mortal hnger strook;
Divinely warbled voice
Answering the s;ringed noise,
As all their souls in blissfll rapture took
The air. such pleasure 10th 10 lose,
With thousand echoes still proloags each heay
Enly close.

CHAPTER ii.
THE DISAPPOINTMENT.

Beyond and entirely apart from the
deep sorrow into which the little home
a. Highgate was plunged for many
months after the deat5 Of its oldest
inmate, there was interwoven with
the grief a sense Of amsZement at the
obscurity in which Matthew Rickmau
had left his affairs an smazement, il
may be said, rot limited to the region
OF Highgste, where so old a resident
was, Of course, almost as well known
as the church spire, but extending in
TO many an Influential commercial
circle in the city.
As may have been gathered from
the words Of his son-in-law, George

were best informed, was known-to

lively small sum, no clue was discoy-
cred to indicate what be had done
with it, or in what securities il had
been invested.
He left DO will, and never seemed
to have employed lawyer, having
himself arranged the disposal of his
business in Cheapside and most other
matters. AT one tisne be had had
confidential clerk, or head map, who
had been ia his employ for q long
while and might have known some
thing about bis masters affairs but,
be too was dead, had died very soon
after the business passed into other
bands.
Such memoranda and accounts as
were found with Mr.. Matthew Rick
mans effects were c0uehed in terms
SO mysterious, and set down 10 trade
and private marks so obscurely, that
it was evident they were not intend
