She jgntelttgtn??. The JLegend. ot Santa Claus* This popular name ef the Saint who presides over the Christmas and the toy gifts of that welcome season is derived I from Saint Nicholas. The legend of his I first appearaace is an Italian one. Accord- I ing to ibis, a shoemaker named Giraldi, i wbo lived io Ferrari, was so miserably poor that bis labor from day to day barely kept bis family from starvation, and he was unable to give even a small dowry to bis pretty daughters. It was not thought proper to matry without a dowry, and thus the young girls, though each bad an ad mirer, were compelled to remain single.? Their father, however, went every morn- j ing to tbe sbrine to pray to bis patron saiut, St. Nicholas, that be would work a I miracle to relieve him from bis distress. One of bid nearest neighbors, a rich merchant, wbo chanced one day to hear bis bimple petition, ridiculed tbe idea of expecting tbe saint to take care of his daughters, and recommended him tocbooBe a patron saint wbo .would be able to do something for bim. "Mine," he said, "is tbe Jew Buonojate: be lends money at two per cent, a month; and if you know bow to manage, you may make four with it. He ia not so deaf as St. Nicholas." The poor man was Bbocked at this impi ous speech, and assured tbe merchant that his religious faith could not beebaken. lie went every day to church, notwithstand ing the other's mockery. It was now Christinas Day; when the merchant and the Jew settled up their yearly accounts; Buonsjute found he owed his friend three hundred ducats, and wish ing to give him an agreeable enrprise, he ordered one of the ducks he bad carefully fattened, to be killed and roasted, and tben with hid own bands introduced the three hundred gold pieces iuto the Inside, aud sewed them up. He tben sent the dack to tbe merchant as a Christmas present. Tbe merchant's wite, who shared the common prejudices against Jews, declared nbe would not touch tbe duck, and the r ich man resolved to sell it. When Oiral di passed on bis way from church; bis neighbor, as usual,bantered him on bis de votion, showed him the Christmas gift his patroo Saint bad sent him, and taunted him with the stolidity of Saint Nicholas, who could not even send him a piece of bread, finally, he offered to sell the duck lor a dollar, aud to await tbe payment, as be knew Oiraldi to be strictly honest. Tbe shoemaker carried the duck home, and when he c irved it for his Christmas dinner and the three hundred ducats fell out, his lirtit exclamation was?' Praise to Saint Nicholas!" When ho recovered from bis surprise,be would have taken the money back, but his wife persuaded him that, as be bad bought the duck, it was rightfully his own. He therefore divided tbe sum between tbe two uuitora for his two eMset daughters. The merchant, after some days, discov ered his loss ot the three hundred ducat?, and wrut to the shoemaker to demaud the money, which was refused. The cause cime before tbe magistrate, wbo was a pious man, and beard with indignation bow cruelly the poor man had been ridiculed about his religion. His sentence was that Giraldi should keep the money, and that tbe merchant and tbe Jew should, beside, pay a Que, for their u&urious dealings, of one hundred and fifty ducats, to be given as a dowry for the shoemaker's youngest daughter. The meaning of this legend is, that a bencficient Providence watches over and takes care of the poor, who are honest, re ligious aud truthful. The tradition runs that since that time St. Nicholas pays a visit, every Christmas night, to all whom he thinks worthy of his favors. He is known altogether by the name?Santa Claus. Pencil Sketches \ A newspaper correspondent with Sher man, in his great march, drew tho follow* ing suggestive picture: As the army reach ed the Ogecehcc river, tho line of inarch became more picturesque and grand. The pine* rise, naked of hranchcs, oighty and ninety feet, and then are crowned with a tuft ol pure green. Tho trees are wide apart, t:> that frequently two trains of wagons and troops, in double column, aro marching abreast. In tho distanco may be seen a troop of horsomcu, some gener al and his statT, turning about lioro and there, their gay uniforms and red and white llags contrasting harmoniously with the bright, yellow grass underneath and tho dcop evergreon. War has its romance and its pleasures, and nothing could bo more dolightful, nor can there be more beautiful subjects for the artist's pencil than a thousand sights which haTo met my eyo for days past, and which can never bo seen outsido of tho army. The most pathetic scenes occur upon our lino of march daily and hourly. Thous ands of negro woinou join the column, some carrying household truck; others, mid many of them there aro, who bear the heavy burdea of children in their arms, while older boys and girls plod by their sides. All these women and chiK dren are ordered back, heartrending though it may be to refuse them liberty. They won't go. One begs that sho may go to see her husband ttud children at Savannah. Long years ago sho was forced from them and sold. Another had heard that hor boy was in Macon, and she is "dano gone with grief goin' on fuur years." Hut tho majority accopt the advent of the yankees as the fulfill ment of tho inillcmal prophecics, the "day of jubilee," tho hope and prayer of a lifetime, has como. They cannot be made to understand that they must re* main behind, and thoy aro satisfied only when General Sherman tells them?as ho docs every day?that we shall couie tor them some time, and that they must be patient until the proper hour ofdeliv* erauoe comes. Tho other day u woman wih a child in hor arms was working he way along amongst tho teams and crowds of cattle and horsemen. An offi cer called to her kindly: -"Where are you going, aunty?" She looked up into his face with a hopeful, beseeching look, and replied: **I'se gwino whar you'so gwiuo uiassa." FISH. 11 to BARRELS NO. 8 MAOKUtlL, IV HthbU. " ?? loo ?? No. 4 sue Ktu m v ?? loo ??

YOUNG MEN Who have injured themselves by a certain practice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the effecU of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatchod from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature and inducing in a certain secret habit. Suoh persons must, beforo contemplating MARRIAGE, Reflect that a souud mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote oonnubial hanpi hess. Indeed, without these the Journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospocthour- " ly darkens to tho view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and filled with the melancholy reflec tion that the happinoss of auothor becomes olijrhted with our own DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of Pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seods of thia painful disease, it too often happens that an Ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to thoso who, trom education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and e?. tremitles, progressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of thenoso fall In, and the victim of thia awful disease beoomea a horrid object of commiseration, until death pnts a period to hU dreadful sufferings, by sendingliim traveler reYorai!"Ter0<l ?0a0tn Whonce D0 >?"* th?t thousand, fall Tlct|m, owing to the uinkllfaltieie n ^ "ho, by tho use of that f r"Q the constitution and make the residue of life miserable.
