FIvc-Slsters Court at Clirlstmas-Tide.For a business street Every Lane certainly is very busy. It sets out just to niuke u short pustugo between two tuoronj,'nrures, but, Ibtiub forced at first to wulk sSruifht by tho wurebouseg tbilt wall in its entrance, it soon begius to luitvr, staring down back ulleyy, yuwiiiug iuto courts, jjluugicg into stable-yards, uu.l ut leugtli stuudiug irresolute at ibree ways oj' gettiii"; to tbe end uf its joiir-uey. It pusses by urlisiius' shops, aud keeps iwo or three musous' cellars mid carpenierV lul'ts, as If its slovenlv buildings needed per petual repuirs. It bits not .at ull the air of .once kfto.ving bettor duys. It began life hopelesfly ; aud though the mayor and common council and board of aldermen, with ten righteous men, should daily murcb through it, the broorrt of offlcia' aud privute virtue could not sweep it clean of its slovenliness. But one of its idle turning? does suddenly eud in a virtuous court : here Every Laue may come, when it indulges in vuin aspirations for a more respectable character, aud take refuge in the quiet demeauor Of Every Court The court ia tbuped like the tetter T with an L to it. Tbe upright beum connects it with Every Lane, and maintains a Don coinnrtiul character, sinco its sides ure blank walls ; upon one side of the crossbeam are four houses, while u Hlth occupies the diminutive L of the court, eiiM'onicing itself iu a suug corner, as if ready to rush out at tho cry of "All in 1 all in I" Curdeus fill tho unoccupied sides, toy-gardei.i, but largo enough to raise all the flowers need ed for this toy court. Tho five houses, built exactly alike, are two and a half stories high, aud have each a dunner-nindow, curtained with white dimity, so that Ikey look like five elderly dames iu cops; onj the court hits gotleu the name of Five -Sisters Court, to the despair of Every Lime, which felt its ole chance for respectability slip away wheujthe court came to disown its patronymic. It was at duak, the afternoon before Christmas, that a youug mac, Nicholas .fudge by uumf, walking iutiuiriug'y down Every Luiip, turui'd into Fivo deters Court, and studd facing the five old ludies, apparently in foine doubt as 10 which he should accost, 'I here was a number on, euch door, but no uame ; aud it was impossible to tell from tbe outside who or what sort of people lived iu each, ll oue could ouly gt t round to the rear if the court, you might getsoice light, fur the bucks of houses are generally off their guard, ami the Ftvc-SisK'i's who look alike iu their dimity cups uiight possibly have more disliuct characters wneu not dressed for company. Perhaps, ufter the caps are eff, aud the spectacles removed ljjt what outrageous scu-timuuts are we drifting toward! 'I here was a caue for Nicholas Judge's hesitation. In one of those houses ho had good reuson to believe lived nn aunt of bis, (he ouly reh lion left to him iu the world, so far as be knew, aud by so slender u thread was he held to her that he kuew ouly her mui-dm uame. Through the labyrinth of possible widowhoods, one of which at least was actual, aud the changes iu condition which many years would t fleet, lie was to feci his way to the Fair liosamoud by this thread. Nicholas was a wise youug man, as will no dount appear when w come to kuow him better, aud,' tbougb a lieb country youto, visiting the city for the first lime, was not so indiscreet as to u.-k bluntly at each door, until he got satisfaction, "Dees my Aunt Eunice live heiet" As the doors in the court were all shut and tquully dumb, he resolved to tike Ibe houses iu order, and proposing to him self the strategy of a.-king for a drink of water, aud so ope.iiug the way for further parley, he ttood bofuie the door uf Number Oue. lie raised the knocker, (for there was no bell,) and tapped iu a hesitating manner, as iT lie would take it ull back iu case of uu egregious mistake. There was a shuffle ia the eu-tiy; the door opened slowly, disclosing nn old and tidy negro woman, who invited Nicholas iu by a gent ure, aud saying, "You wisb to see master?" led him ou through a dark passage without waiting for au answer. "Certuiuly," he thought, "I want to see the master mure than 1 wuut a drink of water: I will keep that device for the next house;" and, obeying thi lead of the servaut, he went up stabs, and was tuhered iuto a room, where tbeie was just enough dusky light to disclose tiers of books, a table covered with papers, and other indications of a student's sbode. Nicholass eyes bad bar. ly become aeons- trmed to tbe dm light, when there entered tbe scholar himself, the master hom lie was to see; a small old mnn, erect, with wbite hair and smooth forehead, beneath which projected two bends of eyes, that seemed, from their advanced position, endeavoring to tuke in what Jay round the corner of the bead as well as objects distinctly iu front. His long palm-leave I study-gown aud tasselled velvet cap lent him a reverend oppearauce; aud be bore in his bind what seemed a cmiously shaped dipper, as if ha were some wise man coming to sluke a disciples thirst with water from the fouuiaio head of knowledge. 'tHaa he guessed my pretended errand?'! woudered Nicholas to him IT, feeling a little shamed of innocent ruse, for h was Dot in tbe leiwt thirsty; but the old man began at once to address him, after motioning bim to a sent lie spoke abruptly, aud with a rvstrain-01 impotieuce of manner: "So yon received my letter appointing (his hour for en interview. Well, what do yon expect me to do for vou? Yon coinp'imont me, in a loose sort of way, oo iny contribn- tioni to philological science, and tell me that you are tuguged in tht twine inquiries with myself" . '"dir." said Nicholas, In alarm," I ought to expluiq myself, 1" ' I3ut tbo old gentleman gave no heed to the interruption, aud continued: "And tout you have publl: bed an article on the Vulun uf Words. You scut inn tbo paper, but did n't find anything in it. I nave uo great opiuiou of thueffortd of young men in th'gt direction. It contained common-plucu goueralities which I uevor heatd questioned. You can't show the vulue of word by wasting them, I told you I should be plain.: Now you wnut me to give you some hints, you say, as to the best method of pursuing philological researches, la a hasty moment I said you might come, thongh I don't usually allow visitors;, You praise me for what 1 have accomplited in philology. Yonng man, that is because I have not givt.a myself up to idle gadding aud gossiping. Do you think, if I had beeu making calls, aud receiving anybedy wbo chose to force himself upon ine, during the lust forty years, that 1 should have been able to master the digamnia, which y i, u think my worthiest lubor t" "Sir," interrputed Nicholas again, thinking that the question, though it admitted no au-bwer, might give him a chauce to stand on his oivu legs once more, "J really must ask your pardon." "Tho best method of pursuing philological researches!" continued the old scholar, deaf to Nicholas's remot strance. "That is oue of your foolish general questions, (hut show how little you know what you ure about But do as I have done. Work by yourself, and dig, dig. (jive up your senseless gabbling in the magazines, get over your astonishment at finding that caelum and heaven contain tbe same idea etymolovically, and that there was a large bread bakery at tikolos, aud muke up your mind to believe nothing till you can't help it. You linve u't begun to work yet Wait till you have us I have, foity yours in one house, with your library likely to turn you out of doors, and ouly uu old black woman to speak to, before you begin to think of calling youi self a scholar. Kb?" And ut this point the old gentleman adjusted the dipper, which was merely aneur-lrum-pvt. though for a momtnt more mysterious to Nicbolus, iu its uew capacity, tliun when he had regurded it us a unique specimen of 'u familiar housvhold-impleindiit, and thrust the bowl totvurd the enilmiTussed youth. ' Iu fact, having said oil that he intended to guy to bis unwelcome supposed disciple, he showed enough churlish grace to permit him to muke such reply or defence us seemed best. The old gentleman hud pulled yp so suddenly ia his huraogue, and culled fur an answer so authoritatively, and with such a singular flourish of bis trumpet, that Nicholas, losing commuiid of the studied explanation of bis conduct, which a moment before had beeu ut his tongue's eud, caught at the lust sentence spoken, and gaiued a perilous advantano by asking, "Have you, iudeed, lived in this house forty yeurs, Sir?" "E! what?" said the old gentleman, impa-tieuily, perceivin;; thut he had spoken. "Here, speak iuto my trumpet. What is tbe use of a trumpet, if you don't speak iuto it?" "Ob, thought Nicholas to himself, "I see, be is excessively deaf;" uud bunding over the trumpet, where he suwa sieve like frame, as H an upeecn were to oe stiaineuns it eniereu, ne collected bis lorce, and repeated ihe question, with measured and sonorous utterance, sir, have you lived inthis house forty years?" "1 just told yotl so," said the old man, not uunalurally starting hack. ' ''And if you were going to ask me such an unnecessary qties-liou at ull," he ad ted, testily, "you need n't uuve roared it out ut uie. I could have heard tbut without my trumpet. Yes, I've lived here forty years, and so has black Maria, wbo opened tbe door for yon; and I siy again that 1 have accomplished what 1 have by uninterrupted study. I have n't gone about, bowing to every be, she, and it I never kuew wbo lived in any or the other houses in the court till to-day. when, a woman came and .isked me to go out for the evening to her house; and just because it was Christmas eve, 1 was foolish euongu to be wheedled tiy her into saying I would go. Miss Miss , 1 can t remember her name now. 1 shall have to ask Maria. There you have u't got much tatisl'uclion out of me; but do you mind what 1 suid to yon, and it will be worth more than if 1 bad told you whut hooks to rPad. Eh?" And he invited Nicholas once more to drop his words into the trumpet "Good alternoon, said Nicholas, hesitat ingly, "thdiik you,'' at a loss what pertinent reply to niake, and iu despuir of clearing himself "from tlit) tung.e in which lie bud become involved. It ai plain, too, that he should net uo satisfaction here, at least upon the search iu which be was engaged. lint the reply seemed quite sntisluctory to the old gen tleman, wbo cheerfully relinquished him to black Maria, who, in turn, passed bun out ol tbe bouse. Left to himself, aud rid of bis personal em barrassment be begau to feel uncomfortably guilty, as be considered tbe confusion which he hud entailed upon the real philological dis ciple, and would fain comfort himself with '.he hope that he had acted as a a son orlightning-rod to conduct the old scholar's bolts, and so bud secured some immunity for the one at whom the bolts were really shot, liut his own situatiou demanded bis atteut'on; and i leaving the to be unhappy young man and tbe to-be perplexed old gentleman to settle the difficulty over the mediating ear trumpet, he addressed himself again to his task, and proposed to tuke another survey of the court, with tho vague hope that his aunt might show barself with such unmistakable signs of relationship as to bring his researches to an immediate aud triumphant close. Jest as he was turuiug away from the front of Number One, buttoning his overcoat with un air of self-abslruction, he was suddenly and unaccountably attacked in the chest with such violence aa almost to throw hiWoff his feet. At the next moment his ears were as sailed by a profusion of apologetic explanu. . - wbo n7adoout'of , . X .L u.o...: r..n:-... j. bouse with the intuition of calling next door, he b id leaped over the snow that lay between, and, not teeiug tbe gentleman, bad most unintentionally, plunged headlong into bim. He hoped he bad not hurt hftn; be begged a thousand pardons; it was very careless in him; uud then, perfect peace having succeeded this violent attuck, the new-comer politely asked. "Cau you tell me whether Doctor ClWker is at home, and disengaged? I perceive that yon have just left his hnuse." "Do you mean tbo deuf old gentleman in Number One!'' asked Nicbohis. ' ' "I was not aware that he was deaf" said his compauion. i "And 1 did not Lnnw that his name was Doctor Chocker." said Nicholas smiling. "But may I ask," said h with a sudden thought and blushing go bard that even the wintry red of bis cheeks was outshone, "if yea were just going to see him ?"t , . "I bad nn appoiutment to nee him at this hour; and that is the reason why I asked you if he was disengaged." "lie he is not eogiged, I believe," said AND GENE HA L INTELLIGENCE. JANUARY 17. 1865 . Nicholas, etumnierlng and blushing harder than ever; ."but a word with vou, bir. , ,1 must really it was wholly umuteutionul but unless I am mistukeh, the old gcutlemaa (bought 1 was you. "Thought you were I?" said the other, sciewing his eyebrows Into a question, mid letting his aoso stand for an exclamation point "But come, it is cold, here, will you do Die thu honor to come up to my room: At any rate, I should like to hear something about te old fellow,'' Aud be turned towards the neat house. "What!" said "Nicholas, "do yon live in Number Two?" ' i "Yes, I have room here," said bis companion, jumping back over the snow. : "You seem surprised." "It is extraordinary," rpnttered Nicholas to himself, as he entered tie house aud followed bis new acquaintance up stairs. V Their entrance seemed to create some con fusion; for there was aa indistinct sound as of a scuttling op and down stairs, and a whisking of dresses rouud corneis, with still more indistinct and distant sound of suppressed chattering aud a voice berating.

E, e An Editorial irom Jeff. Dnv!.B. New York, January 4. Tho Richmond Scutiual contains a very important editorial believed to bo from the pen of Jeff. Davis. Secretury Si-wajd bud sent to ull foreiao ministers u circular showiug the complete exhaustion of tho rebellion, and con exnriitly that Ihe rebels were no longer entitled to consideration as beljigerentF. Tho Sentiual's editorial says: "Our late ie-verses have douo much toward preparing our people for extreme sacrifices. Tbe question is simply whether we shull give for our own use or whether the Yankees shall take for theirs. It would be mere glorious to devote our means to success thau lose them as spoils to the enemy. "Our situation, stripped of our prcper'y, but ma&tors of our Government, would lie infinitely better thuu if despoiled by the enrnry; uud wearing bis bonds of subjugutinn is a horror thut embraces all other horrors. Troublesome' times are upon us; great exigencies surround us. We need ull our strength urn! wisdom. Let there be a conference of our wisii men. Let there be u investigation of our wa. t Then let ull obi tades to tho omplnymeut of all our resources bo removed. So long as we have a man or a dollar, let the cull for them bo honored. -It would he adding disgrace to our misery if we were overcome without ex bausting every rcsonice of defense. ' If the Government determim s that it needs our lands houses, uegrnes, horses, money, or ourselves, it must huvo them. If Providence coudomns us to u must r, let it not be a Yankee. Of all tire people on the eutth we luvo most reason to loath and dread them. Any . terms with any others would be preferable to subjuga tion bv them. Jl stateinuusuip can not save us, it can paliate our misery by saving us from the Yankees, Our people would iufiutely prefer a favorab'o alliance with Eunpoan nations. The Richmond Exquirer, iu commenting on the ubove. says: "If it be necessnry to convince the world thet we are fighting for thescll-goveriimeut or whiles, then we should liberuto the negroes, and if that liberation should secure our recognition and the guarantee of Engluud or France to our independence, we believe the people of these States would uot hesitate to make tha sacrifice. The cousenuecces of emancipation would fall upon tho negro. Tho 'act woulJ be one of necessity, not of choice. and tuken against our judgement and a prolonged war and disgjucoful ruin, and the destruction involved iu the success of our enemies." Progress of Antt-Slaverr Senti inent- The Missouri Demccrat Is, so fur as our in formation extcuds, the ouly journal iu a slavo Stute which supported ihe electiou of Mr. Lincoln, both in lbou aud 1804. lu tins city there ure two journals printed iu the German laugnuge, the U'cttliehc Post and Anzeiger, which iu 1860 favored the claims nf Lincoln, but neither of them iu the late electiou gave him its support : The Post drifted so tar in the Frcmout movement as net to be able to get back to its original position iu the Uuiou party, uud the Anxeiger, having two )ears ugo become a Blair or Claybauk organ, passed, by easy transition, over to the support of McClellau. . The fact above alluded to has great siguifl- cauce, uud strongly indicates the progtees which liberal principles have made, during the lust four years uf war and revolution, lu the last election, Mr. Lincoln received the support of probably a majority of the byal journals printed in ths South. Mr. Lincoln bus not retrograded on the slcveiy question. lie had, on the contrary, advanced to a more radical point of abolitionism. There was nothing, therefore, in his policy to bring pro-slavery organs to his support from choice. The change of position has not been his, but of Southern beutim'Ut . lite minis of the poo. pie have come ud to tbe anti-slavery standpoint, aud the Free-Soil uewspncrs of the South are so many land-marks iudirating the progress they have made. To us it is a mutter of gratification to find hiw signaliy onr course has teen sustained and vindicated by the course o. events. 2H. Louis Democrat, A (Jlcnm of Hope to the.KcbcIs.
