Christmas Story.
1 ..?{?.rr-:o:-r?' ....
(Coticluded.) '
In 'truth; the gentle, earnest German _girl^
with hor fair faoo nnd hopeful ways thut "were,
so like sister Lillie's," had made more than
passing impression upon the young traveller's
heart, nnd even now die had strong hopes of |
some time Winning her to brighten bis homo
across the ocean. Of this, however; the boys
know nothing ; it was only Bister Lillic who
had diviucd it all, as she nlwa; g did with her
quick sympathy, and bud already prepared a
place in her heart for; that-.other:eldest sister
from her quiet Gcrmnu homo.
"I wish you could have seen," resumed.Hen
ry, "the eager, curious cirulo, wheu wc.cutcred
the parlor; the good father had just been pre
paring for the coremouy of lighting up the
Cbri-tmas tree in another room when 1 hud
caused the interruption, nnd now tiicy must all
wait until the mother nnd. sister Nettie could
be sptrcd from thok labor of Jove with their
little ?runderer
The children weroifullof curiosity about.tho
little 'snow-maiden" who hud laid at (heir door
on Christmas eve, so like tho little Grotchei) tu,|
nans, Anderson's beautiful talc, which the
German children almost known by heart. J^r
hnps they did not expresstheir excitcnicu'.,
quite as noisily ns their American ooiudns would
have dono, bat their little limnd chocks glowed,
and tl<o 4big bluo eyes danced just ns eagerly
as I have seen in sonic little faces not fur oil",
on other Gliri?tmns days.
It was n protty enough picture as they gath
ered around their father ; the sturdy baby boy,
who had just learned to toddle along bj' a chair,
grasping papn'u knee and laying his rosy checks
against it; the two demure littlo girls, Grata
und Minn, looking so Oer man, with their flaxen
hair hanging in' two smooth plaits oi Gael; side
of the round, fair faces, their blt'.c, wide open
eyes, und bright cherry-colored bodices, nnd
short.skirts; then the two boys, Herman and
Fritz, jolly fellows enough even for Charley's
liking; then the sober, student-like brother,
Qodfre, and over in the corner by the stove,
keeping .steadily on with her knitting, in tho
midst of all the bustle, a rather stern, Bad-look
ing middle-aged lady, whom the children called
Aunt Katariuo, but whom Herr Kaufman in
troduced to j me by the English-sounding name
of Madame Lester.' I si
"The good Christ-child has Jent you n gift,
my children," said the father; "lie could not
come to bo with us Himself, to-night, so He
has sent ono of his dear little ones instead ;
He wishes to make the little snow-maiden wel
come for His, sake, this Christmas night. Let
each ono of us, my children, stfivd, what we
can do for the littlo one the kind Christ-child
has sent us, that she may loam what this hap
py Christmas means."
As the good father glanced from ono to
another of his own rosy, happy flock, staid
German its he was, I could hoar that his voice
1 ^'rew husky, nnd even fancied that his eye
might. ii.?ve become a littlo ;;dlm, as I think |
"rs would, if voii bntl UCen tho contrast be
' * -^o children, in their bright, hnpnv
homo, their hearts :1anC,n? J?youa expec
tations, and just on the ouJcr of thafc cold
stone wall, the poor little houieie*Lq ?irl> wlfh
that pitiful branch of Christmas grcb^, the
moaning of which eho little understood, with
the keen wind sweeping ever her? and the cold
whifco snow the only shelter she CUiild find;
thfe Christmas bcams_ sjied such a chill, silvery
light over her poor, snow-wet curls.
At length tho mother's step was heard de
scending tho Btairs, and half-a-dozon littlo feet
ran out fco meet her, while the little tongues
poured forth ft list of cxcito^l questions.
Littlo Agnos? for thus she hud givon her
name?had quite revived; a warm rest in a
soft be4 to-night- would quito restoru her.. But
alaa.l sho Jwul no home, ?bo mid, and scorned
to havo no friend to look for her coming back.
Two days bofore, and I SAW (hp tours gloaming

H - l b. ei M i?d- ijf '

these ChristimiB greens to Bell; the child had;
lost hbr way, und indeed, was afrajid to go back* ?
withj the branches in her poor liule hands, and*
so had wandered on ucti| she had< fallen pow- -
ericas with cold, hunger,.and fatigue, where 1
had found her, und whore she would scon hkvd|
been beyond all consciousness of cold or wearl* ?

"And .we will take coro of her now, mother,'^
paid the children. JfThc. fa.t\ or saideo; h&;
told, us* that, the good Christ-child sont her, an<| ]
we are so glad she came-" ..'
"It is Christmas Eye, you know, mptkor/'ij
said the father, in .a.-low tope, full of feeling, a$\
he diet his wife's grateful eyes, which snhl a$j >
pfa'ihly.as words could have, said, how much j
her motherly heart had yearned over tho littjej
wanjderer, 'and how much she lwuj longed for,
petmissipu to shelter it in her loving arms, soi
that winter blasts should never again drive' tjiej
cold snow over the tin)', frozen form.
"Here''comes sister' Netto. Now, for tho*
Christinas' tree, at last V' "
I had seen many a brfgh't Christmas tree be ?
fore, and caw' look back On many a worry}
Christmas Eve, but the scene that night when'
the wide door was thrown back, was certainly;
the triost beautiful I ever beheld ; of course
there was something iti the novelty nnd interest
of the occasion, and the unsuspected change
from my loneliness; but apart from that it was
a lovely sight. In the middle of the wide*
robm, with its high carved ceiling, Stood the'
Christmas'trce, all a silver blur.e with hundred^
'of tiiry tf:Vndl6s, which shed n soft light on the"'
pure white dress, and sweet, fair fuco of sister
Netta, who, with a beautiful silver wand, stood*
ready to disengage the gifts from the magical;
tree. But what made the efleet so strange nnd.
beautiful was the figure of an angel, with wbito
winga*out>sprcad, aud garments reflectiug the
silver brightness of tho. myriad tiny tapers ;<
who hovered softly over the tree, and really,
looked as if he wore indeed a visitant from the
bright angelic throng. ; . ..
>Yhile.we gazed iusilqncc for a moment f.a&
sister's .soft voice raised tho note* yf :i ChrUtpj.
mas hymnk. nild the chil'i,.fcn a voices took up'.
i the chorus,:iu luUrttt ufjjnyuu* midotly^whnfK'
; soun'L^ like a .wailed melody from the uugcl
cl'.oir.
Tho hymn soou died away, and after a mo
ment's .silence the merriment began. Tliu tree
yielded marvellous fruits ; toys, skates, books,
and trinkets ; all imaginable gifts which could
gratify the taste of German or American boys
and girls. Some of the articles bad a slip of
paper attached, with sonic appropriate words:
''"With mother's love to her obedient boy j"
"To the son who has learned to conquer idle
ness; "]?br the little" hands that love to help
mother;" and on one'-The Christ-child'sends
thee this from the poor old woman, who had a
strong arm to lean on over the slippery stones."
Even the strange guest was not forgotten.
Several little tokens which Nettie's kiud hand,
obedient to her. mother's thoughtful whisper,
have hung ftnud?'* the branches, found their
way to me, and arc still treasured up in memo
ry of tljat Christmas night. Each child, too,
laid away from the store of treasures something
for the littlo snow-child up stairs, and the pile
of gifts,' thuB laid aside, contain many of
the most valued possessions of each generous
young heart, j he fairy tapers at length be
gan to burn low, and, nt a signal from the
-father, silence again succeeded the sound of
merry voices; then again, tho sweet carrol
was wafted upon the silver lighted air,and the
brooding angel seemed to me to join in the
heavenly melody.
Often as we stood arourd the tree, I had uo
tiocd the faco bf Madame Lester, and won
dered that 1 could have called it harsh. Sad
it certainly was, but as one little hand alter
another slipped within hers tho Christmas
token, the hard lines softoued about the com
pressed lips, the rigid features quivered, nnd nt
last Aunt KutaYi?b's face, fairly softened, and
as she quietly brushed aside tear after tfljjf a
smile almost as goutle and loving as the moth
er's trembled on the care-worn lips.
As we returned to the parlor after the hymn
had ceased, hor hand was laid on Kcrr Kauf
man's arm, and with a voico trembling with
emotion and long untouched feeling, tdio said,
"Give mo that child, brother. You havu
enough; let mo tako that stray lamb homo ; it
will perchance mako n spring-time once more
iu this withered old heart. Your children
have taught mo to-night that it is not nil dead."
,"lt is to you, sister," said the father, softly,
"that tho Christ-child has sent this messenger;
let hor oomfort you for your lost Annie. She
will light for you a Christmas taper which will
never grow dim."
Too quickly the rest of the Christmas Ev?
passod. Tho children had all separated for
their Christmas dreams, which, no doubt were
full enough of the stockings they had
hung up at, tho chimney place ; but we older
ones spent a happy hour before the striking
of tlie clock, warned me that my visit must
come to' a close.
" And (lid Madame Lester tak<? the littlo
^irj asked AVillio. "And didr she love lier
fgjjjnr bo' much ?" said Katic.: "Yea, indeed,'*
'?Aid brother Heury. "I saw her many a time
lifterwardp with little Agnes, and ?he seemed to
havo grown young and handsome again."
"But how did . ehe get such an English name,
Henry if" inquired Herbert. -'That is a part
I forgpt to ball you," replied Henry. "Madame
Lester had married an Englishman wheo sho
.was very young, and wont away to England to
live. There for sometime she was very happy ;
(hjit while she was still young her troubles began.
Her husband was crippled by an accident, aud
j&fter lingering helplessly for some years, left a
jjgridow. Troublo after trouble darkened her
;ltfe. Two noble boys she had lost just as thoy
|y,ere becoming old enough to divide her cares;
aud at length her only daughter aud sole re
maining joy, was taken from her, Thus the
strong woman's heart failed Desolate and
broken-hearted she leturned to the German
homo of her girlhood ; that icy band of sorrow
and disappointment frozen around her. The
happy voices of the children seemed only to
tildso more firmly the harsh lips, and seal up
the lonely heart iuto a more isolated grief.
But to-night tho icy bauds had been incited.
The lonoliucss of the friendless child touched
the pity and lovo so long locked up, and Christ
mas had dawn, both for tho desolate mother
and the poor little orphan Agnes."
"That was a good Christmas, brother, Heu
ry," cried little Katie; aud I am so glad that
the poor lady got a little girl of her own to
keep her from looking so cross."
Mother, who had come in quietly in the
midst of the story, took her. own little sunbeam
in her arms, and stopped to imprint a kiss on
the bright, loving lace her son turned up to
wards her as she stood by his chair; aud from
that look the eyes of both, I am sure, ho kuo';,
that she too had guessed the secret of that
quiot German love.

Speech of Zachariali Spicer.
On the question, "Which enjoys the great
est amount of happiness, tho bachelor or the
married man?" the gentleman said :
Mr. President and Gentlemen:?I riso
to 'advocate' the cause of tho married man.?i
And why should I uot? I claim to know
something about the institution. I do. Will
any gentleman pretend to say I do not? Lot
him accompany me home. Let me confrout
him with my wife ami 17 children and de
cide.
High as the Rocky mountains tower over
the Mississippi Valley, does the character of
the married man tower above that of the bach
elor. What is a bachelor? What was Adam
before ho gO! acquainted with Evo ? What,
but a poor, shiftless, hclidoss, insignificant
creature? No more to bo compared to his
after-self, than a mill dam to tho great roaring
cataract of Niagara. (Applauso.)
Gentlemen, there was a time, I blush to spy
it, when I, too, was a bachelor; and- a more
miserable creature, you would hardly oxpoct to
find. Every day 1 toiled hard, and at night I
came homo to my comfortless garret?no car
pet, no fire, no nothing. Everything was in a
??lutter, and in the words of tho poet, "Con
fusion was monarch of all ho surveyed."
Here lay ? dirty pair of pants, thove a dirty
pair of hoots, there a play hill, and hero a pile
of dirty clothes. AY hat wonder that 1 took re
fuge at the gaining tablo and bay room, I
found it would never do, gontlemen, and in a
lucky moment [ vowed to reform. Scarcoly
had tho juHiinise pulsed my lips when a knoo\:
was hoard at the door, and in camo Jausan,
Sitnpkins aftor my dirty clothes.
Mr. Spicor says sho, 1'vo washed for you
six months, and T hiivon't seen the first r6d
cent in the wny of payment. Now. I'd, hkc to
know ,w^at you orp going to,do about! it 1 I'j
felt in my pocket-book. . T?ero^as nothing iii
ii, and I knew it well enough. /Miss Simp
kins, Raid.I, it's no uso denying' it. I hdvn't]
got the pewter. I wish for yourself I had.
There, said ?he promptly. I don't wash an-,
other rag for you. Stop, said I, Susan, I will
do what I, can ^or. yon.. Silver and .gol?V, t j
haYO pone, hut }f my lioart and baud will do,
they are at your service.
Are you in earnest r gays she, looking a lit
tle suspicious. Never more so, flays I.1 Then,
says she, an there seems tobe no prospect of]
getting my pay any other way, I guess I'll take
up with your proposition. Enough said.''"We
were married in a week, and what's" morb; we
haven't repented. No more attics for me*, gen?
demon. I live in a house, and have some
body to mend my clothes. Gcntlemcn? 1 used
to be as thin as a weasel. Now I am as plump
as a porker.
In conclusion, gentlemen, if you want to'bcH
poor ragged devils, without d coat to your back/'
or shoe to your foot; if you want to grow bid |
before your time, hnd be ' uncomfortable, gene
rally, as "a hedge hog rolled up the wrong'
way," I advise y*o? to remain a bachelor; IP
you want to live decently, get married. I've
got ten daughters, gentlemen (overpowcrihg
applause.) and you may have your pick.
Mr. Spicer sat down amid long" and contin
ued plaudits. The generous proposal with
which he concluded, secured five son-in-laws.

THURSDAY, 16th.
Several motions were-made to alter the
minutes, with a view of expunging that1 por
tiou relating to the election of scrgennkat^rms,
the object being to oust ft. S. Conway, colored,
tho person elected to that office, many 'mem
bers liaving come to the c?nclusion, since his
election, that he was not fit for the place-.
A resolution was then offered by 1$. Udell
Puucan, white, dclegate-lrbm Newborryj Ao, in
struct the doorkeepers to admit no one who
has not his credentials as a member, or is priv
ileged as a reporter or invited guest.,. , ;/ ..
The unfinished business, ibcing tho election
of Messengers, was then taken up.
The result of tho election for; messengers was
in lavor of W. S. Elliott; a very black and very,
civil negro, apparently, about twout.y-onc years
of age, and J. D. Brico, whito.
A resolution was then offered by J. J.
Wright, colored, from Beaufort, which created
a length ly discussion, as to the relative myrit?
of the-liVetrf, Courier, and ,J/f:rcJ(r^, the two
former being comincndod. and the latter abused
roundly'
A resolution was offered by J. J*. Wright
that General Cauby, General Scott, and Gov
ernor Orr, which was amended by inserting
Provisional before the title of Governor,' Off,
adding the name of General Glitz.
The endeavor to further amend by adding
tho name of Mayor Gaillard produced consid
ciablo discussion, DoLnrge, Pnrkar, and Lang
ley favoring and Richmond opposing,; on the
grouud that Mayor: Gaillard not only was no
great gun bod wa? not m sympathy with.-tho
convention. The amendment was afterwards
accepted by the mover of the. resolution. ;; -
lt. B. Elliott, black, from Edgbfield, offered
an amendment that the City Council bo also
invited. LostV. i u ? -
E. W. Mackcy, white, from!'Charleston, of
fered another amendment thai the Chief of
Polico be invited. Lost.
F. J. MoscSj Jr., offered n resolution invit
ing GovcrnoTOrr to address tho convention.
This created a very lively and lengthy discus
sion. Beverly Nash, large, burly, black dele
gate from BichtamS, said: I rise to gay Mr:
President that I am oppo.*ctl to the resolution
asking Governor Orr to address this convention,
as I am opposed to giving him the right he re
fused to mo?T mean the right of free speech.
V hiive here now an order from the General
Commanding, which was served on nie, and
compelled me hist Tuesday to appear before a
military board and givo somo account of a
spocoh whioh I mado at Brockmau's Mills iu
behalf of tho Republican party, and at which
speech Governor Orr and his frionds took um
brage. Itmakcsmo proud to know t hat tho board
of military officors dooided that 1 had a right to
say what I did. Tho Constitution of tho'J
United States guarantees froo speech, and as
Governor Orr has opposed it out of this hal), J
