From the Atlantic Mouthly Jaouary.J Five-Sisters Court at Christmas- Tiue. While he disaDDcared for this purpose, ocmioir' to keep the bell in some other Dart of the house, Nieho'as took a hasty elance round the room, aod, opening a book on the table, read on tne ny-ieai, PaulLe Clear, a name which be tagged lor cenvenience to tho occupant of the room until he should find one more authentic The room corresponded to that which he had met Doctor Chocker, but the cheerful gloam of an open tire gave a brighter aspect to the interior. Here also were books: but wnue at un Doctor's the walls, tables, and even floor seemed turstins with the crowd that had found lodging there, so that he had made his way to 8 chaif by a sort ot loot-patu through a field of folios, here there was the nicest order and evident attempt at artistic arrangement. Nor were books alone the possessors of the walls; for a few pictures and busts had places, aod two or three ingenious cupboards excited curiosity. The room, in short, showed nlainlv the nres$nce of a cultivated mind: and Nicholas, who, though unfaniilliar with citylile, had received a capital intellectual training at the hands of a scholarly, but anchoret father, was de lighted at the signs ot culture in nis new a :quaintance. Mr. Le Clear re entered the room, followed presently by the coal-fcuttle in the hands of a small servant, and, remembering the occasion which'ltad brought thein together, invited Nicholas to finish tho explanation which he had begun below. He, set at ease by tdoagreeaoic surrounding, opened his heart wide, and, for the sake of explicitness in the narration, pro posed to begin back at tne very Degin- ning. "By all means begin at the beginning," said Mr. Le Clear, rubbfng his hands iu expectant pleasure; ''but before you begin, my good Sir, let me suggest that we take a cup a tea togetner. i must tnke mine eaily to-night, as I am to spend the evening out, and there's something to tell you, Sir, when you are through," as if meeting his burst ot confluence with a corresponding one, "though it s small matter, probably, compared wtm , ... I - J T yours, but it nas amttseu mo. i ran i make a great show on me tame, ne au-ded, with an elegant humility, when Nicholas accepted his invitation; "but I like to take my tea in my room, though I go out for dinner.' So saying, he brought from the cupboard a little table-cloth, and, bustling about, deposited on a tea-tray, one by one, various mombors of a tea set, which had evidently beeu plucked trotn a tea-plant in China, since the forms and figures were all suggested by the flowery kingdom. The lids of the vessels were shaped like tea leaves; and mioaiure Chii.a men and women picked their way about among the letters of the Chinese alphabet, as it they were playing at word- mizsles. Nicholas admired the service to its owner's content, establishing thus a new bond of sympathy between them; and both were soon seated near the table, sipping the tea with demure little spoons, that approached the mea-grenessof Chinese chop-stioks, and decorating white bread with brown mats modulo. "No," said the host, "since you share my salt, I ought to be mwoduoed to you, n office which I will perform without ceremony. My name is Paul Le Clear," which 'Nicholas and we had already guess ed correctly. , "And mine." said Nicholas, "is Nioh olas, with a reckless ingonionsnoss which was a large part ot bis host s entertain' ment. . But it is unnecessary to recount in de tail what Paul heard, beginning at that epoch, twenty-two years back. Enough to sa in briaf what Nicholas elaborated: that his mothar had died at his birth; in a country home at the foot of amountain; that in that home he had livd, with his fnthor for almost aoiitary,friend and teach er, until, his father dying, he had come to the city to live; that he had hut jutt reached tho place, aod had inads it hi first obieet to find hiB mother's only sister, with whom, indeed, hi father bad kept up no acquaintance, and for finding whom he bad but a slight clue, even if Bbo. were then living. Nicholas brought his narrative in regular order down to the point where Paul had so uneii cotedly accosted him, stopping there, eiooe subsequent facts were fully known to both. "And now," he oonoluded, warming with hia subjeot; "I am in search ot my aunt. What sort of woman she will prove to be I cannot tell; but if there is any virtue in sisterly blood, surely my Aunt Eunice cannot be without some of that noble nature which belonged to my mother, as I havo heard her described, and as her miniature bids me believo in. II ow many times of late, in my solitariness, have I picturod to myself this one kinswoman receiving me for her sister's sake, and willing to befriend me for my own! True, I am strong, and able, I think, to make my way in tho world un aided. . It is not such help as would eusu my necessary struggle that I ask, but the sympathy which only bloorl-rclationship can bring, oo 1 build great iopcs ou my success in the search; und I have chosen this evening as a fit time for the happy recognition. I cannot doubt tint wo shall keep our Christmas together. Do you know of any one, Mr. Le Clear, living in this court, who might prove to be my aunt?" "Upon my soul," said that gentleman, who had been sucking the juicd of Nicholas's narrative, and had now reached the skin, "you have come to the last person likely to be able to tell you. It was only to-day that I Jcarned by a correspon dence with Doctor Chocker, whnmall the world knows, that ho was living just next door to me. Who lives on the olher side can't tell. Mr. Crimp; so there's no chance for Eunice there. As for the other three houses, 1 know nothing, except just this: and here I conic to my story, which is very short, and uothing like so entertaining as yours. Yesterday I was called upon by a jigoty little woman, I say jiggoty, because that expresses exactly my meaning, a jiggoty little woman, who announced herself as Miss I'ix, living iu Number Five, and who brought an ivitation in person to mo to com to a 6tuall party at her housa th s t'hristmas-eve; and as she was jiggoty, I thought I would amuse myself by going. But3he is Miss Pix; and your aunt, according to your showing, should be Mrs." "That must be where the old gnntlo-man, Doctor Chocker, is going," said Nicholas, who had forgotten to mention that part of the Doctor's remarks, and now did ao. "Roallv, that is 'entertainini;!" cried Paul. "I certainly shall po, if its for nothing else than to see Miss Pix and Doctor Chocker together. "Pardon my ignorance, Mr. Le Clear, said Nicholas, with a smile; "but what do you mean by ji(-'goty?" "I mean, said faui, "to express a cer tain ellervesencc ot manner, as it one were corked against ono's will, ending in a suiden pop of tho cork and a general overflow in jr. I invented tho word after seeing Miss Pix. She is an odd person; but I shouldn't wish to bo so concerned about my neighbors as she appears to be, My philosophy ot lile, he contuued, standing now beforo the fire; and rcceiv- nn its entire radiution upon the superfi cies of his back, "is to extract sunshine from encumbers, lhink or living lorty years, like Doctor Chocker, on tho husks of tho diagamma! I aniobligcd to him fur his advice, but I shu'u't follow it. Here are my books and prints; out of doors are people and .Nature: I propose to ex tract sunshine lrom un tnese cuoumoers The world was made for us, and not we for the world. When I go to Miss Pix s this evening, md, by the way, its 'most time to go, I presume I shall find one or two ripe cucumbers. Christinas. too. is a capital season for this chemica experiment. 1 tind people are more oil their guard, and oner special advantages tor a curious, observer and experimenter Hero is mv room; you see how I live; and when I have no visitor at tea, I wind up mv little musical box. You have no idea what a prelty picture I make, sitting in mv chair, the tea-table by mo, the are in the crate, and the musical box for a crick et on the hearth;" and Mr. Le Cicar lau'lied tood hunioredly. Nioholas lauL'hed, too. llo had been smiling throughout the young philoso nher's discourse; but he was conscious ot a little feeling of uneasiness, as if he were beiog subjected to the cucumber- extract process, lie. nan lntenuea at first to deliver the scheme ot life which he had adopted, but, on the whole, determined to postpone it. ' II rose to go, and ,hook hands with .l'aul, who wisnwo nun all success in finding his aunt; as lor himself, he thought he got along better without aunts. The two went down stairs to the door, causing very much the same dispersion of the tribes as before; and . . . j v,r o- . Nicholas once moresiooc in ctve oisiers Court, while PaulLe Clear returned to his charming bower, to be tickled with the recollection of the adventure, and to prepare for Miss Pix's party. "On the whole, I think I won't disturb Dnator Chocker's mind by olearinir it up," said he to himself "It migkt, too, bring on a repetition of the fulmination against mv naner which tne young ouqae seemea so to enjoy relating. Au tonocent youth, cetainlyl 1 wonoer n ne expeoiea me in Give him mv autobiography." Nioholas Judge confessed to himself a alitht dearree of despondency, at he look ed at the remaining two houses in the court, since Miss Pix's would have to bo nonnted out. and reflected that his chan ce" of success were dwindling. His ro-cent conversation hod left upon his nind, for some retson which he hardly stopped now to explain, a disagreeable impression; and he felt a trifle wearied of this very dubious enterprise. Vhat likelihood was thor$, if his aunt bad lived here a long time rmst. 09 he assumed in his calcula tions, that eh. would havo failed to make herself known in soma way to Doctor Chocker,? since the vision which he hac of this W3rthy lady waa that of a kiod AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. JANUARY 24, 18G5. hearted and most neighborly soul. But he reflected that city Iifo must differ greatly from that iu tho country, even more than be had conceded with all his a priori reasonings; aod he decided to draw no hasty inferences, but to proceed in the Baconian method by calling at Number Three. Po was rather out of cnnct.it with his strategy of thirst, which had so fallen below the actual modes of arTcoting an entrance; and now resolved to march boldly up with the' irresistible engino of straight forward inquiry, is straight-forward', at least, as the circumstances would permit. Ho knocked at the door. After a little delay, enlivened for him by the interchange of voices within tho house, apparently at opposite extremities, a light approached, and the door was opened, disclosing a large and florid, faced man, in his shirt slseves, holding a small and sleepy lump in his hand. Nieho'as moved at once upon the enemy's works. "Will you have the goodness to tell mo, Sir, if a lady named Miss Eunice Brown livee here?" that being his aunt's maiden name, and tiossibly good on demand thirty years alter date. The reply came, after a moment's deliberation, as if the man wished to gain time for an excursion into soTue unexplored region of the house, "Well, Sir, I won't say positively that sho does n't; and yet 1 can say, that, in ono senfe of tho word, Miss Eunice Brown does notlivo hero. Willyouwalk in, and we will talk further about it." Nicholas entered, though somewhat wondering how they were to xfettlo Miss Brown's residence thqro by the most protracted conversation. ' The man in shirt sleeves showed him into a sitting-room, and setting the lamp upon the the top of a corner what-not, where it twinkled like a distant star, he gave Nu holas a scat, and took ono opposite to him, first shutting the door behind them. "Will you g'vo me your name, Sir?" said he. Nicholas hesitated, not quite liking to part with it lo one who might misuse it. "I have no objection." said his com panion, in a sonorous voice, "to giving my nnmo to any that asks it. My namo ia Soprian Manlius." "And mine," said Nicholas, not to be outdone in generosity, " is Nicholas Judge." CONTItiURI.J (tamttttiratcd. LEAVES FROM MI JOIIRNAL NUMBER 1. BT W. H. WILKINSON. Jannary 1st, 1865 another year has crossed tho sluggish stream of Time, and has entered the mystio realms of eternity, with tho record of tho months that yon and I bavo improved or misspent, with the weeks that we havo suffered to glide into tho past without prompting us to a consciousness of our fiuita existence; with the dnVH whose sun has set upon the wrath that you have treasured up against your fellow man; with the minutes tlml have been swept out of existence on the threshold of a ball-room by the mid night taper that lights up the sen satioual pages of fictitious literature, and by th,o spurklo of the red wine, smii' which lurks tho hand of death; and with the seconds that with each stroke of the pendulum, narrows tho circlo of our life; and with sud countenance, and a head bowed with the cares of humauily, be approaches the Pincording Angel ond surrenders into his hands the silent w:t-ncss of deeds, the remembrance of which may bung the blush ot shamo to our checks, or send through us, a thrill ol pride. Tho Angel opens the book, and as he turns to your name he drops i tear upon the page where tho credits in your favor are but too few. Let us gin nee over his shoulder and witness the measure of your indebtedness. The first item well illustrates the folly and weakness of hit man nature, mere, in enaraenrs oi living light stands tho ominous son-tence; "Neglected to pay the printer!" 0 man! Is not your sleep like the sleep of him who causes his digestive apparatus to beset in moticn pt a late hot r of the night and retires to his couch there, thro' the hours that drag their slow length along till morn, to be the unwilling victim of assassinations, hair-breadth escapes, murderous assaults and what not, then, like Maseppaof old, fastened to his night mare, he is hurried off to the brink of a yawning precipice, and starts up from sleep with an affrighted shudder, and a cold tremor running over him? Has not your conscience, "that still small voice," reminded you of the creature comforts you were depriving him of? 'Do you suppose a two dollar bill the paltry price of year's toil and an overtaxed brain possesses the'properties of a piece of rubber, that it can be stretched very far in this day of high prices? And what would be your feelings could you hear that poor man, as he sits down to his New Year's dinnor, say to his wife snd children, (for he is always supplied with a goodly number of the latter:) "we have to go without our turkey this time. I addressed a few lines last week to Mr. you know who I mean, my dear, in reference to' his subscription, telling him I stood greatly in need of it, but it seems b hw not f aid the Wist attention to it;" NO 12. who could describe your feelings, were you to witness the blank countenances of those young children upon that announcement, as they glance over the table and miss those little dclicaoies that have heretofore graced their frugal boardupon the day that ushers in the New Year. It would have made your heart ache to have seen the sad look of the Recording Angel, when he entered opposite your namo this testimony against you. But lot us close the hook upon the for- gotten records of the p&it foi I have no doubt you have foi gotten that you ever did owe the printer and listen to the strains of that child of song whose ear has caught the first footfalls of the New Year, as he steps upon the earth from his home in tho sky, and with a buoyant tread, and a childlike wonder at every-thing he pecs about him, like some visi;. tant new lightod from jonder planet that shoots its ray of light far down the azure depths of space, he sets out upon his gkd journey: Let tbe Toot ling, What the New Year will bring; Firt comet the Spring On the South winda wing, Where the violeta fling Their freah perfume amid her train. When tbe tender lcavet Shoot from the trect. And the balmy brerie, Breathea through their topa like a dying atraln. Then cornea the Stimmi'r with laviah baud, To hcatter plenty o'er the land. Look, wb re the wheatlike golden land Upon tbe ocean'a ahioiog atrnnd, Wavea in the wind. The milky-while corn, Up to the aky ita blade-leavea turn; The awallnw twitera from the abed, The quail etarta up at the hunter', tread, Tbe robin chirp, in a branch o'erbead, And tbe down on bit breast ia daahed with red. Then comes the Autumn, brown and eere, The taddest time of all the year. The dead leave, flutter fur and near, The woodpecker1, kollow drum ringt clear, And th dove'a low plaint falla oo the ear, The harvest bnrn wine's o'er the field.; The yellow sheavea aro dotting wide The annoy mead and breed bill-aide, And Earth of her abundance yieldt A goodly itjre. The Winter has come, the winda roar, The windowa shiver now creaka the door; The enow flakea whiten the chll y air, '1 he treet io the blast murmur hoarae and bare, Acroaa the waste flics the frightened bare, She atopa enuffa up tbe doga afar, Then off with a bonnd O'er the froxen ground, And In von tMcket hide, her thera. What festive sport to skim tbeanow With light-win ged alcli h. What cheery glow Buruaen oar cheek. Away we go Like the swift gaiclle, But who can foretell, As wa turn tho corner and air He a itona, How tlick and clean will be overthrown? Oar horse lint flown. We are left alone, ALd with a groan, ' We leave lor home the tide poatpone. And thua we leave the aubject here. Because we have taid enougL thai'e clear, National Wit. Italian wit is highly dramatio, spontaneous, genial. Among its pro. erbs are: 'Tho dog earns his living by wagging his tail." "Mako yourselves all honey, and iho flies will ilev3ur it." "The smiles if a pretty womnn aro the tears of the purse." "Ho who takes an cul by the tail, or a woman by the finger, is sure to come off empty handed." Tbe characteristic of Spanish wit is exc?ssivo state liness. Of their provcrhg, "He who hath nothing to do, let him buy a shin or marry a wit )." "From many children and littlo bread, good Lord deiivf.r us." "A tool is never a great fool unless he knows Latin." I''rench,wit is characterized by finesse, brilliancy, dexterity, point, brev ity. In repartee the French arc unrivalled. Their conversation is not only. an art, but a fine art. In punning they are unequaled. In no literature are there so many proverbs which speak disparag ingly of the fair sex. "Man is fire, woman is tow the devil comes and blows." A womau coticcals only what she doesn't know." "To get chickens ono must coax tho hen." "Soatoh pooplo where thoy itch." Prof. Angoll. To Propagate Shrubs. Many kinds of shrubs will propagate readily from cuttings. They Ehould be taken off now, cut into lengths of nine inches or so, and laid in soil in a dry po sition, putting a foot or so of manure or lunso litter over all during winter. As early in the spring as the woather will permit, they may be taken out and treated the same as currant or grape cuttings. All cuttings when put out, should slant at a pretty good angle, and not more than ono or two eyes suffered to appear above the service. lbe failures often arise from the outtings being too Tar out of the ground, thus drying up faster than they can obtain moisture from the earth. This is particularly true in all dry soasonB such as the past proved to ba. Lumber at Cbicaoo. It is wonder-dcrful the amount of lumber worked np in the city of Chioago. From thirty-two million feet received in 1817, it has reaohed the enormous amount of four hundred and forty-four minions of feet in 1857, a period of ten yens. During the yoat li64 there bis been received 420,532,383 fe)t of lumber, 5.875,000 feet of timber, and 163,003,000 shingles; besides this, two rafts, aggregation 2,840,000 feet. During the year62.54l,-300 lath- 645,804 pts, and 10,732,000 staves hae been received, besides 491,- 930 railroad ties. The tmonnt remain ing on hand at the present time, is i)S, 000 000 feet against 92,000,000 feet last year. " ' IiaMao-skiied.
