"M0RLsY'S" LETTERS FROM REW
YORK.
From our regular correspondent
NEW YoRK, Dec. &c, '79.
t-l CHRIsTMAs TIDE,

The grandest, sweetest days of all
the year have come. New York has
put on her holiday attire, set up ten
times ten thousand little Kings and
Queens within her homes, and laid
millions of toys and treasures at their
feet in glad tribute. No sooner had
election day echoes died away than
preparations for Christmas began,
and for month the children have
been uppcrmoss in most peoples
thoughts, while loyal papas, man.
mas, sisters, cousins and aunts have
sought out invention, to please them
in the one day on which they hold
undisputed sway in every household.
Nor be it thought the children of the
very poor have been forgotten. This
big bustling city has hundreds OF
sweet.fsced women and noble
brow'd men, whose greatest pleasure
In living consists in looking after the
children of penury and squalor and
disease, and hundreds more Of busy
men, whose money bags epsn wide
and jingle merrily whenever these
friends Of the poor cone around for
aid. Oh it woald do your heart
good, and mine too, il we could
count all the tons of coal and pounds
of tea, all the turkeys and provisions
and clothing that hare gone out from
the homes OF the we'll to do into the
abodcs of privation and want.
And how have enjoyed sitting
in ferry hose and depo, and watch
ing the boxes and bundles and pack
ages, long and short, thick and thin,
round, square and oblong; the carts
and whesl barrows and sleds that are
borne by the busy people who come
trooping through from factory, Office
and store, bent on the same glad and
glorious mission of bringing happi-
ness to some waiting and expectant
child in yonder village, by this river
and upon those hills. Why, there
isn't q tenderer sight in all the year
than watching those hurrying feet
beating broken and tumultuous time
to the Christmas Anthem, swelling
in our hearts and theirs as they trot
merrily homeward,
"And on earth
Peace, good will to men 70
THE woRKMAN's PARADISE.
If there is ANY land under the sun
worthy of this name, any where hon.
est labor gets its full reward and
where the bread winner has square
chance in the game of life, it is Ger.
tainly our own favored land.> And
this is the unwilling testimony of
men who are not Americans. There
has recently fallen into my hands the
published report Of the wages of
English iaborers, made up by Brit.
ID. . q
ish professor, and also ons, Of our
statistical reports on wages in the
United States, which presents con-
trast that arrests attention. There
is something tremendously effective
and instructive in q column of dry
looking figures, if we will only use
ouribrains a little, and those particu.
lar figures shed no uncertain light
upon q subject worthy ofthe careful
thought Of every man; you can't get
away from them, they mean business
every time. Farm hands IN Massa-
chusetts receive an average OF $1.25
a day Including board, Il thiqk this
is - low average fortbs rest ofthe

'but7a cents a day and board them.

A SAN JUAN WEDDING.

San Juan is not stupidity dull,
unsocial place, as inferred by some.
The following account of grand
festive gathering on Xmas night,
proving the coatrsry. First we will
state, that for several years past,
Joseph Sandwich, Esq, of Cumber'
land House, has celebrated his birth
day (Xmas) by entertaining house
full of bachelors (Mr. Sandwith hav-
ing the reputation of unrsmitting
devotion to the interests Of this very
numerous class.) On his last birth
day, however, our bachelor friends
were a little Disconnected on finding
large bsvy of young ladies, with
numerous married folks, vending
their way to this hospitable and fes-
tive home; but on approaching, they
became more reconclsd, as they dis
covered q new wing added to the
house, thus making ample room for
the increased number Of guests.
But why this diversion (tbey sur
mise) from the rule OF former years ?
Because at this time a birthday is to
be celebrated, PLUS wedding;
hence tho large influx of guests
Numbering hundred representa-
tives from nearly every family In the
community to witness the nuptials
ofMr. Jas. Fleming and Miss Sarah
Jane Sandwitb. At s o'clock p. M.
the San Juan brass band, struck up
q lively wedding march, signaling
the entrance of the wedding party.
Shortly after, Rev. T. ]. Wsekss, in
marriage service, concise and i'm
pressiv., pronounced the happy pair
husband and wife.
The bride was arrayed in ali ele.
giant, graceful, and very becoming
brown gros.grain silk dress, with a
combination of lighter shade satin,
with bridal veil, and orange blossoms
Shortly after the ceremony, the
band discoursed several pieces so
fascinating that nearly all present
were to be seen in fantastic whirl,
which continued with but slight in.
termission till broad day light. A
suinptuous supper was served about
midnight, superintsnded by Mr..
Sandwich and his honored and much
esteemed wife whose amiabls dispo.
sition and many excellent traits Of
character have long sndsarsd her to
all Of her acquaintances. The enter.
tainment throughout, was most
pleasant, all entering into the festiv.
lilies with the utmost zest and enjoy
ment., Wewish Mr.. Sandwith many
happy and prosperous returns Of bis
birthday; in word, we wish that he
may live to see the whole number
OF his bachelor guests married, and
We wish the bride and bridegroom
unsullied happiness in their future
lot, with heavens choicest blessings;
and we wish--wE wisH-mahy other
such weddings soon. Who nextP

One notable instance of the kind
came to my knowledge quite recent.
ly. Thirty years ago poor German
music teacher landed ON our shores
to seek that fortune in the New
World which friendless man rarely
finds in the Old. For a few years
he earned u slender living as
church organist, and finally conceived
the idea of striking out as piano
maker. The start was humble
enough, for he worked year after
year at the bench, creeping slowly
but steadily upward. Twenty years
passed, and the poor music.teacher's
name was known in every household
as leading piano manufacturer. He
began to receive letters from such
great artists as

Miss Kellogg, Lpcca, Patti, Rozs,
Anna Louise Cary and Emma
