But as fiction must have a coloring of truth, it would be absurd ol me to utter so false a statement as the above?at least as far us oar town is concerned. We have seen very little uf the article for some time past, and then only in diluted form, which would not be pleasant to introduce into a story, jit wool '. seem as if old King Christinas bad . nl a large quuulily to theater m. lingers, und bad but a small pile lett. which he must use economically How ever," this subject of the s.iow is open to discussion Meanwhile, I shall ^o on to state that on las- Christmas jhiy it fell to my lot to be on d.-tyVt the North east Dispensary, in tho jyood did town of L-. 1 was then horgeop to that institution, having two tnoscXagreeable gentlemen as my colleagues^! Christmas morning! The &ky was b|ue, the sun was bright, air was keen, the gound was hard?in fact, the "weather was beauti ful for the time of year. 'Just the morning,' cried Dobbs, 'for a' nice long walk, which will brace us up, and give us sn appetite for the goose on Jack Dooso's table I' %* 'Yes,' said Burjhari, throwing him self into a military attitude, lo which be was .partial, and putting"up his rimless eyeglass to look at me ; and 1 hope Alf Adams won't have loo much work while we are away.' '3 ft $ A If Adams, the reader's humble ser vant, smiled a smile seldom to be observ ed. Silently be watched his compan ions muiHe themselves in overcoats of | alarming dimensions, and being ready, disappear for tho remainder of the day and evcuing. I stood at the window, watching the stream of human beings gaily trooping along. The bells of tho various churches pealed forth: but their merry music, iustead-of making my he rt full of joy, only drove mo half wild to think I was fastened up in that gloomy placo, while my own family were living aujl making merry not quite half a mile from me, aud I dare not go to sue them No surgeon could bo got for love or mon ey to take my place for half i>n hdur. One thing might have enlivened the hours: I hud a present of a turkey, sent me from the Green Isle, which, with small plum pudding, was to be my dinner. So I had invited Jack Byrdeo 16v nelp me to eat it. But. alas! in) bosom friend and school-fellow could not muster cour age to enter my den on such a day. So I sat down to my solitary meal, railing at the whole world, aud particularly at that smart young man, Jack Baydeo, I believe I was very ill-tempered over tny dinner. The turkey was pretty good, but the servant had u look on bur tace 1 f pity for me and satisfaction for her self as to the good things in the kitohen. I there! ore eon eluded .die had been drinking. The pudding was brought in. but what was my horror to find it smelt of brandy ! Fully half a glass of brandy nad been put upon it ! Now, 1 usk any one, had that girl any right to act thus to me, when she knew very wcll'thut 1 wus a perfect teetotaller't iler reason was found out ulterwards?1 blamed the poor girl for half a glass?when in three da;.s a bill lor si glasses was1 pre sented from 11 neighboring.public bouse! Ol COuISO the servant declared aho bad put all the brandy on the pudding, which was about the size Of my two fists; and I assure you, i.idtes. tin y are but small. After m^ lonely o.nner I drew the larj e arm chair to the tire, which 1 stirred into a blaue, and light ing my pipe (for I smoke, if I don't drink) I began gazing abstractedly at the -picture of the grandfather of a late surgeon to the institution, which had not been removed from over ther chim ney-hoard. But the grim old patriarch seemed to {ffoEfffn^flTscomfort so much that I starten! up Tu aisgnat, sad once more sought the window. Here they go, the merry crowd, laughing and chatter ing, although every nose was in danger of frostbito. Four wedding coacb.es dached past, lest they be late for the church, but I also saw ono which went slowly along, and it recalled the li?ea of a very aeuti mental friend, who once wrote au *'Ode to Christmas:" ? , s "The wedding coach was busy, And tho hearse was busy, tuo." I was about to moralize on this point, v. h^n ..the porter, dressed in-his Sunday suit, knocked, to say there v??s a case in the| surgery. I Wont, down to Jinda nic^^o?ngNnan fn Tmlnriimi treajcns,' who renueated * dra?gat, end g'.?.d L was to get him out, lest he might do me an injury ; lor persona in his state have a peculiar way of polishing ouc off if j the chance prcsouts itself There is never more drunkenness in L-than on Christmas day; not only because it is a day of rejoicing, but because so many take pledges uot to drink from a given time 'till Christmas day.' So I expected to have plenty of ] c:ihcs about twelve o'clock that night, when friendship would have had time to merge iuto^ hostility, with broken heads t<s the rc/ult; During the afternoon I had cases dropping in of various sorts. But I wiih culled out to visit oue person, whose state was most pitiable. A female lying on un old. dirty sack, weak and ill ; twi children playing about the floor of the stjualid room. Where was your 'merry Christmas' for that poor mother? Her husband dead; sho too ill to work ; phthisis hurrying her away ere the yoarj went out. Two .shillings a week, for-] booth, from the parish, and thU & 'merry I CtwasBUts V so iB&beeiy the^rhildrbd^ will bfMRf t* Vflf MHtrial schools','' aud th^fr )motion *j die try reposing in *?? wiM'.bavo >u happy lever jfc?jl'sorrow more. Once more in my sitting-room. The 1 ?lindes of eveuing have deepened; the w'ad begins to sigh round the house, down the chimney, and through the Keyholes; so I have the gas lit, the fire stirred np aguin, and order tea. Just as I was beginning my evening meal the door opened softly, then there was a pause, as if some one wan examin ing me through the space formed by the hinges. 'Come in!' I cried. A fare .appeared at the door, aud the eyes having examined the room general ly, and me particularly, the remainder of the body followed, and then 1 saw the form of a mau I hud twice met bo fore. Staring at me in a wild manner he said, 'How do? Hon'tyou know mo? Hon't you remember me telling you that f should come to tea some evening? your man dowu stairs wasn't going to let me in; but I gave him a farthing rolled up in paper, and said I was a most particu lar friend of yours. Ho will think I gave him a sovoreigu.' At this the being uttered a series of horrid chuckles, aod rolled Iiis eyes about, iti a ihost nfar.nih" m:inni?r The first time I met this person was at au hotel, where he was capering about, singing aud reciting, and then going round the room with his hat fur coppers. I was told by a gentleman that he was ? harmless lunatic. The second time I met him 1 was hur rying along ou business. With the most unfortunate want of forethought I uod ed to him and passed on. lu u second ho was by my side ,and, tapping me smartly with his forefinger, cried : . 'jp^ Jou;"'know me, fit 'Yes,' I answered, smiling, and at tempting to walk away : but preventing me, he raid : 'What's my name ?' 'ltichey,' I said, with a half frown ; but his autit-s made me smile, for he kept skipping about from ono ?ide ol me to the other. 'You're a mcdicul man, I think,' thou od UpOII giving him u look which conveyed my doubt, he qnickly added. 'That in, I ?in n chemist; lam at present in the literary line, and I nssuro I am heartily sick of it.' These last words givcu with an empiinsis. Now. t k??,w his literary line was. If ubout the hotcla with. six old?very "old?Brad nhaw's Railway Guides, [and' offering them for aale, as belonging to " tho pre-, sent month,'isyanything '.a the 'literary, line,' then ho was in that ^tisrhess. ?I must go now,' said .^'loeling^ that the eyes of tho passers-by were oin me ; I 'l have a most importunate to attend.' 'Very well,' he answer**/* *Tben tak ing off his hat, and holing it toward me, said, 'Will you ' toss ro,' to soo if I shall give you a ponny, of you givo me one, for I want a glass of-4r-?' 'Oh. bore's a penny for you!' I oriod; 'good-bye., mmm b>hy 'Will you take mo homo to tea with you ?' ho porVtsted. i . 'No,' I cried. 'Perhaps ?11 see you to-morrow.' For I wiaheljo leave him, t as quite a crowd of giggjfig, persons hud collected. J ?Nn^ bn rnnrmured. in a tno.hnmhnly manner, as if ho had b$?p deceived in* that way before; 'no, qot^Jjp-morrow; do not say 'to-morrow,' but XahaU, couie to tea some evening?to tea tome evening.' Aud now. this Christmas evening, he came to fulfill his promise, which had never bepu exacted from lim by me. b 'Richey'?for this wa? the name he went by?was below the middle hcight, but evidently very strotj and active ; iudeed, it struck nie the.

Then taking ofThis kat, in an assumed attitude of humility, bq held out his cluspod hauls, muttering his awe and respect for 'such a noble person?such a forehead?mouth?nose?such eyes, iVo.' ?Well,' thought I, 'this fellow begins to amuse me;'? felt nthor glad he came. So I pulled the bell ro)e for another cup, and when it camo I asked him, rather pleasantly, to draw ever his chair. I may here remark thit while the servant was in the room he sat down very quietly, his ? large, istaring eyes ti.ved on her face with a look of intense admiration for her beauty,always keep- ' ing the mysterious package, however, vacillating between his arupit and hat. As soon as she left the room, he began imitating the 'Artful Dodger,' when ho gives his dislocating Uvis-, of the bead, and glanced at the door. '!>o you know, I like girls.

He changed his subject so quickly, I that I soon was obliged to become dumb, with the exception of a monosyllable now and then. Thus some hours passed merrily. \.t length be jumped up uud skipped round the room. Suddenly stopping at the sideboard, ho Opened it quickly to see if I anything was inside. Immediately lio dived his baud in und skipped round the root i with a bottlo of IKbba' whisky in his hand. This bad been a Christ mas present to Dobbt. What would Dobbs say '( Oi course be would say that I had broken the pledge with it! Oh, it must be rescued !

A toast to my most noble friends, which are yourtolf aud our uoble guudfather over the chimney-board! llore's to him, as the old year goiug out; and here's to you, the New Year coming in.' Hero he rambled off into a lot of nonsense. The whisky soon began to fire bis bruin. L Just then the portor called me dowu to a case. To him T montionod that I had n qubor fellow1 up stairs, and that if I pullod the hell rope he was to come up .at once?! not thai; I feared danger, but thero was no knowing what might hap pen. 1 came up tho stairs to my room with a full determination to get rid of my strnngo friend as quickly and quietly as possible. When 1 entered I found him dressed with the tablo-oloth round ? his shoulders, hangiog liko a toga. His eyes were like blazing coals as he stole LtjYv.nd the door, turned the key, nnd removed it from tho lock. 'Now,' cried he, 'I shall toil you who I TCally am. t am the Evil Spirit of Chrismas; Long have L roamed the earth, nud until now 1 have not had one victim. Tho time has at leugth arrivod.

But the wind, which had now riseu to a storm, drowned my voice; besides, in that long, rambling house I could ouly be heard outside the door. The maniac at length ?,nt u firm hold of my throat; hut just before he did so 1 gave one loud, piercing shriok of 'Mur der !'

Editorial Amenities, la individul life, it Is patent to ordiaary observation, that. 4 bellicose disposition is usually the accompaniment of a raw and untrained youth. A boy, with' largo ? muscular ?dovolopniettt and small brain, cannot help being a bully unless restrained by education. He will he tyrannical to his inferiors, insolent to his superiors, and hin chief delight will consist in Btundiug at comers, hurliug offensive epithets at his fellows, and, if they retort, punishing them with his fists for their temerity. In journalism wo think we discern traces of tho eamc universal law- Edu cation, with all its: chastening and re fining tendencies, often fails to repress natural ferocity. A tyro, when ho as cends the editorial tripod, feels an irresistible itchiug and inclination to "pitch into somebody," especially into his rival contemporary. "When we find that ono newspaper writer has published his neighbor as a "sneak," a "skunk," a "toad," a "pot-bellied bloat," we know that journal is yet in its adolescent period. Wo know that writer, though he may thrust with a rusty bodkin, can not wield a flashing Bcimctar of Hamas I cu3 steel. Wo know the society that applauds such utterances is raw and primitive. We Smell the prairie flowers, or rather we sec prisrnatically, a phantas magoria of miasmatic swamps,; slimy' alligators, and coatlcss men Bitting on barrels Id corder groceries shaking with the chills. Hut notwithstanding the difficulties incident to the pursuit, men must not turn bees, and wound themselves or their fellows with their stings. Solomon says in Bubslanco that he who over comelh his own spirit is greater than a conqueror of walled cities. Moreover, editors who value' reputation shbuld remember that often a single utterance . reveals a man's antecedents and gives [ ?u. ~?.f 1.;.. ^a-.^i;^,. ?A*a'**eta}*nl organization!

'Editors should never forgot they are the oracles of tho people, und it will never do to let the people see that their Delphic Apollo is made of common clay. Mauy of the abusive personalities that disgrace American journalism doubtless spring from a mistaken notion as to what constitutes wit and humor. All Americans appreciate humor, but uufortunatoly all American writers are not humorous. Wit is a delicate light that plays around the moors of thought and surprises by unexpected .lashes. Humor is wit, with kerosene thrown up on it to make a brighter light, that may be seen and comprehended by common understandings. Both contribute to pleasure, and through mirth lighteu toil. Humor, however, in America, is more than an amusement, it is an effective political agent. A late writer in the London Spectator admits that he knows of no more striking difference between English and American society than tho political power which, on our side of the Atlantic, Humor appears to exercise over ihn masses of the people. 1 robabiy ?io moss witty ??nsp?p*:? editor who ever wrote in*the United States, was George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, but while he often worried his contemporaries, ho never, we believe, iudulged iu vulgar abuse. He fenced with a sharp rapier, but it was fencing, not stabbing. Taglioui pirb?u??iug on the stngo ia a picture of jeauly, but an awkward lout danciug on bis partner's corns, is quite another thing. Wo notice with gratification a grow- j ing disposition among the roputablc members of tho Atuoiican Press to 1 abandon personal vituperation, and we trust they will not forget it during tho fover of tho coming Presidential cam paign. Tho editor of tho Nftcejl Time* souio time sioou proclaimed, "It is far more noblo and becoming to try to build up tho interests of our new and beautiful country, than to pick flaws with onr contemporaries.
