(Cl_" .cisi?n that Magistrates "have jurisdiclior," and auuounced that ?'the reasons therefor will be filed later." Wo must confess that we were in 1 he outset prejudiced against Judge Gary's decision. But afier reading his reasons we are satisfied that they are sound, and it may bo that the Supreme Judges might not do better than adopt th? earne, with a little elaboration, as their own. A Christmas Reminiscence. As the closing days of the dying ? year glide swiftly by mid the fes -tive joys oi! Xmas times, the jing ling * toys the blazing fireworks the shouting children, the beam ing countenances of ihe older ones, tell of the joyful advent of the birthday of our Kiug. Oh bliss ful season Oh happy hour when the hearts of the young aud old, blend iu th3 choral glory of a woilfc jubilee. How sweet kind rear/ "Nihen the Xmas fires are " row, when the silent bouse hold is roftly sleeping dreaming perhaps, of the morrow, of Xmas and of Santa Clause how sweet as you gaze on the dying ambers on the hearthstone, to fly on the . wings of memory to the happy days that were, to exist for awhile in?dreamland, and to live again m the scenes of tong ago. 21 years ago, I was a pupil of the Georgia Institution for the blind. The autumnal winds had died away December's month had well ad vanced. Already the sound of horne, tho blaze of bonfires and the explosion of firepoppers an nounced the near approach of Xmas, Eager were our anticipa tions, subdued and many were our mutual questionings. Brightly dawned that Xmas Eve. I So mild tho weather, you would al most deem it spingtime. So blithe the song of the birds, so genial the merry sunbeams, But oh! the odor o? fruits and sweetmeats that filled the air. Wbar did it mean? It wa3 said that Misses G. and K. had gone down town. It was whispered that they had actu ally seen Ss.nta Claus. The day was gone. The twilight had faded . into night when the bell called us topcyer. Ch?ery were the words of Principal that night. Santa 1 would leave narc?ls h. W. affectionately v*r6?mt?Bed us to rest. I was told that in the past the aonse was roused on Xmas morn by the merry song of the girls as they marched through the chapel ^and corridors. On this occasion ^?^f^as to be different. It was agreed by the members of our or chestra, that we would rise early, and as ike girls commenced their song. andvmarch we* would aston - ish them by blasting forth the stir ing strains of,,"Josephine polk er." Yes, they were to meet with a great surprise. But did they? O woman, even in the days of thy childhood, how hard it is to out wit theo. I said that on the night of Xmas eve, our principal after prayer dis missed us to bed. The bustle of re tiring over, in peace the house was silent my roommates softly sleeping. Vainly I closed my wak ing eyes, oblivious slumber was to me denied. In meditations sweet I wandered back through tho cen turies gone. I thought on the star of Bethlehem, that led those east ern sages to the cradle of the in fant blest. It seemed that the scales had fallen from my sight less orbs, end through the cloak of j darkness, I beheld the light. Oh star of Bethlehem, star of hope im mortal, lull many a weary traveler hast thou'et guided home, Pilgrims many and tired bast, thou bidder rest. Shine on thou glorious star, shina on til! all the millions from their guilt redeemed, bow the ki.ee in worship to the Saviour born. Through Fancy's eye, I saw the distant plain. The blazing watch fires and the sleeping flecks. Thi> peaceful shepnerds meekly stand ing by perhaps with heavy hearts, conversing of a Cation's WOBS. I heard with fancy's voice the angel choir, with barp and song to praise attuned, the first Xmas carrol oi. the BLores cf ?imo, "peaceon earth, to men good will. Glory to God iii the highest." Thus musing, I whiled the time away, till lost in eweei forgetfulness I slept. Longer? tho morning star h; course had run. our slumbers end ed by the call of Burkes, each rog' in haste, and in haste his instru ment grasped, and like pale spet tres, dark and flitting, softly t< the chapel stole. There on th stage, the orchestra its position took and stood like guardian sen tinelit of the night, on the ran. parts of some fort besieged. Scare one short hour had passed, when bark, at tho door a sudden crash. The beating drum, the jingling tambourine the merry shouting o the girls, all told of our secrel known. As suddenly our orches tra blasted, but right onward came (he girls through the chapel, round and r?uqd tho corridors, theywondedtheir triumphal way;' ] THOS. J. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR ? EDGE FI ELP, S.
