THE MIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Twas tbs night before Christmas, when all
through the house
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
'chc stockings were hung by the chimney with
~ hoocs that St Nicholas soon would be there;
TIE children nestled all snug in their beds,
Viii Visions - sugar p,ums danced in their
heads:
All ,nsmma in her 'kerchief aud in my cap,
Bad lu.t settled cur brains for long winters
nap
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter,
! sprang from my bed to see what WAS the matter.
Away to the window I flew like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up tho sash.
The i,oon OH tile breast of the new-falen snow,
Gave :. lustrc OF midday to objects below
When, what TO my wondering eye should appear
Bl: miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With = little cid driver, so lively and quick
l knew in moment it must be ST. Nick.
M"r2 rapid than eagles his courscrs they came,
An;: he whiatled and shouted ard called them by
name:
IN VI, Dasher. EoN, Dancer! now, Prsncer, and
Vixen!
On Comet on Cupid on Donder and Bitten
To The top Of The porch, TO the top of the wall
Nov dash away, dash away, dash away all "'
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
Nh"1 they meet with obstacle mount to the
sky,
SO ur to the housctop the coursers they flew,
WITH the sleigh full OF toys-and st. Nicholas too.
And ihcn in Il twinkIing | heard on tho roof
The prancing aud paving of each little hoof
A drew in lay head, and was turning around,
O3wn the chimney st. Nicholas came with 8
bound
H. v$s dressed all in fur from his head to his
fcot
AMI lis clothes were all tarni.h3i with ashes and
SCOT;
A ,.:..:ie CT ao7s hc had flung on his back,
And IL looked like It pcGder inst opened his pack
His eyes, how they twiuklea! his dimples how
merry
Ills cheeks VIZ Ike rose. his nose like cherry;
Eis droi l:!tlc mouth wa drawn up like bow,
And tha beard az j.; chin was as white as the
GiIu".
Inc :tn,nr .,f It .ip. hc he Il tight in his teeth,
And thn smoE" It cucirc'cf his head like wreath.
He had hr"ai ;nre ..d 8: little round belly
That slooi; wiira hc Iau .hCd like bowl full of
jelly.
He was chubby AMI ilump-a right Jolly old elf;
AND laughed when saw him. in spite Of myself.
A winl. Of his cyc and = twist OF his head,
Soon gave me 10 know ! had nothing to dread.
lie spoke not 6 word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a
Jerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose.
III sprang to his sleigh to his team gave whistle,
hnd away they al flew like the down of a thistle,
But beard him exclaini, e:c he drove out of
sight:
Happy Christmas to all, and TO all, goad night"

THE WHITE RACE PROBLEM.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.l
NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 2l.-In other days
the framing, boarding, shingles, flooring,
sash, doors, blinds, bricks, &c., of buildings,
the construction of farming implements, the
cultivation, reaping, threshing and cleaning
of grain, the moving, loading. stacking of
hay, and almost everything in {, he industrial
arts was performed by hand. Then there
was always field for competition, and
those who were highly skilled, attained an
eminence in their profession, or calling, and
commanded q lucrative means for their Ia
bor. But now, in almost every department
of human enterprise, the most difficult and
intricate work is performed by machinery.
Shoes, watches, clocks, sewing and thou
sands of other things are all done by ma
chinery, and much of such work can be ex-
ecuted by those who could never :have Sc
cured employment in any of these arts, had
they to rely upon their own skill. The re-
suit has been that but few skilled laborers
are needed to execute the most difficult
works of art, and hence the most ignorant
and least skilled are employed where for
merIy the. most accomplished only could
find a berth. Ifthen, the intelligent labor
ers turn to any of the great Industries of the
country, they find that so much of the work
is done by machinery that but few manual
assistants are required, and most of them OF
no special accomplishments.
The capitalist who can purchase and i'm
prove thousands of acres of land aud culti-
vate them with improved machinery, re
quires but few hands, and can, consequently
make bushel of wheat for hei: . sinaIl
farmer can, who has 20 rely or nls own
hands. So, too, in regard to clothing,
shoes, furniture, buildings, &C., demon.

CENTREvILLE, Dee. q. Our public SER

law making, but afie, he holidays we shall
expect them 10 go to work. Tie election of
Hon John w. Daniel TO the L. S. Senate,
and Hon. d. IL. Chichester county Judge,
gives satisfaction.
The first that should engage our law
makers attention is to get rid of the old
Underwood constitution, that we had to
adopt during the reconstruction days, and
that was made and revised by republicans
I would like 10 return 10 the old viva yoce

to get rid Of ballot box stuliing, and tissue

Capital punishment should be abolished;
it is relic of barbarism. Themost enlight-

Better cut the jury down one half in num-

Lo, now is come our joyfuPst feast,
Let every man be jolly;
Each room with ivy Leaves is drest,
And every part with holly.
Though some churls at our mirta replne,
Around your foreheads garlauds twne,
Drown sorrow in cup of vino,
And let us all be merry.
Now all our neighbors chimneys smoke,
And Christmas blocks are burning,
Their ovens they with baked mests choke
And all their spits are turning.
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And if for cold it hap to die
Well bury It in Christmas pie,
And evermore bo merry.
Now every lad is wondrous trim.
And no man minds his labour;
Our lasses have provided them
A bagppo and tabor;
Young men and maids, and girls and boys,
Givo life to one another's Joys,
And you anon shall by their noise
Perceive that they arc merry.
Rank misers now do sparing shun,
Their hall Of music soundeth,
And dogs thence with whole shoulders run.
So all things there aboundeth.
The country folks themselves advance
With crowdy. .muttons out of France,
And all the town be merry.
Ned Squash hath fetcht his bands from pawn
And all his best apparel
Brisk Nell hath bought ruff of lawn
With droppings of the barrel.
And those that hardly all the year
Have bread to cat, or rags to wear,
Will have both clothes and dainty fare,
And all tho day be morry.
Now roor man IN tha ;usticss
With cspons make their errants,
And if they hap to fail in These
They plague them with their warrants
But now they feed them with good cheer,
And what they want they take in beer,
For Christmas comes but once year,
And then they shall be merry.
The client now his suit forbears,
The prisoners heart is eased,
The d, btor drinks away his cares,
And for the time is pleased;
Though others purses be more LAT,
Why should he pinc or GROVE at that?
Hang SORROW Care will kill a cat
And therefore let's be merry.
Hark! how tho wags abroad do call
Each other forth to rambling;
Anon you'll see them in the hall
For nuts and apples scrambling.
Hark how the roofs with laughter sound,
Anon they'll think the house goes round,
For they the cellars depth have found,
And there they will be merry.
Then wherefore in these merry days
Should we, pray, be duller?
No, let us sing some roundeaYs
10 make our mirth the fuller;
And while we, thus inspired, sing,
Let all the streets with echoes ring,
Woods and hills, and everything
Bear witness we are merry.

CHRISTMAS RHYME OF THE oLDEN TIME.

To the editor of the Aiera dria Gazette:
1 have observed that occasionally on the
recurrence Of the festive season your COL
umns contain verses, original or selected,
appropriate to the time. Supposing, there.
fore, that for once you would not he unwl-
ling to give something in this line not NOD
cru, have been at the pains to transcrlhe
some rhymes of George Wither, volumi-
nous, though rather obscure, writer both OF
prose and verse in the seventeenth century.
Though from this specimen of his writing il
would not be inferred, Wither took the Pu-
ritan side in politics and wrote often in fa-
vor of the Roundheads. The verses which
follow "have such spirited ring, and give
such a vivid picture of a jovial English
Christmastide" that they will possess inter
est to many. l.. M. 3
