“THEY SAY.”
awonn 'ro run-Bannnnsi'I. '
They say—ah i well, suppose they do,
But can they prove this story true ?
Suspicious may arise from nought
But malice, envy, want of thought ;
Why count yourself among the “they,’.’
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They sag—but why the tale rehearse,
Audhelp tomake the matter worse ?
No-good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is not a nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can ?
They say—well if it: should he so,
Why need you tell the;tale of woe?
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the crring one restore
Ilcnceforth to "go and sin no more?"
They say—Oh ! pause and look within ;
See how thy heart inclines to sin ;
Watch. lest in dark temptation‘s hour,
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power;
Pity the frail, weep ,o’er their fall,
But speak of good, or not at all.

BY CHARLES OTIS GATES.
As Mr. Capit stepped from the door of his
dwelling on Wall street, he buttoned Ibis
coat closely with the air of a man'who had
made his way in the world, and had deter-
-mined others should enjoy the same privi-
lege. “ Cold i.” sai¢the hale old gentleman
to himself, as he drew ‘ltis coat tighter and
shrugged his shoulders; “ good, bracing air ;
fine evening for business,” and away he
went down the street, his feet clicking on
the crisp snow. Mr. Capit was a business
pied with business; he talked, ate, drank;
and dream: with a view to business; every-
thing about him impressed the passer-by
,with'that idea; his gray eye looked busi-
ness; his hair grew straight; as if it had no
time to curl; his energetic step sounded
busi-ness, .busi-ness; in short, every action, ’
every muscle and lines-meat of his‘ face
spelt business. There was no romance
~ubout'Mr. Capit, for 'he had never had any
time for such nonsense.
“ Christmas is well enough for women
and children, but business men have some-
thing else to do,” he thought as he walked.
along. “The idea of my staying home -to_
see the children’s Christmas tree! My wife,
ought to have known better than ask me,”
and he gave an expressive “.whew !” and
brought down his fame with'a sharp rap,as
When Mr. Capit had entered his store’, he
took ofi‘ his coat and carefully hung it in
its place, and placing his gold-headed cane,
(a slight token from admiring friends), in its
accustomed corner, he took a look thropéh
the glass door in his office, and, seeing-libs)
clerks all busy, said to himself as he rub'bé‘tl
his hands: “This Christmas foolishness is Q", .
good thing for our business,” and giving;
his hands a moreviolent rubbing, he walked:
out to Iassist during the rusbof trade; I
'T was eleven o’clock before the custom-
ers ,had left the store, and .thebookkee’ :er"
and Mr. Capit were left-alone in the "
little ofllce. ,
"‘_ These fools bring us a good trade,"
.i
said, _
” and Mr. Capit’s hair flew out straight be-
E‘hind, though chilled torthe bone, yet he
could but notice the extraordinary antics of
the boys. They leaped from one reindeer
_ to another, vaulting-over each o'thér’s bucks,
turning somersaults in the air; and they
went through such a variety of tumbling
and reckless maneuvers that he could bard-
ly believe his own eyes. . T"? , '
As the team halted on the top of a large
mansion,each boy grabbed a bundle and
started forItbc chimney.
‘f'Don-‘t leave too many. things here,” said
Santa Claus. “ Here, Alert, take this," and
he handed out a case of jewels. ’
While Alert was about his errand, the
other boys amused themselves by running
'4a'tn'ong the towers, and under the caves of
the building. One of them climbed the
lightning rod, and, standing on one fuotIon
the point, whirled himself around; then
another climbed after him, and when he
came within reach,the.Ifirst liftedhim up
' and placed him ‘ou his head, so thnthe rest-
ed the very point of his tall but on that. of
his companion, who then cracked his heels
‘As Alert appeared, the young felldtv Oil the
lightning rod gave his companion a toss
which landed him on the back of a rein-
(leer, gglvca leap himself, with same result,
and away they went. ,
Next they stopped at a poor, dilnpdiutcd
house; where they left 'the flour‘nt the door,
being unablc‘to' get it down the. chimney.
. “Rather. lively boys)? observed Mr. Capit.
addressing om, Santa Claus for the first
time. I‘ " 'I ,-
“Boya‘will be boys,” rejoined the old
‘fcllow,“they_are'kept in’all the year, it is
no wonder they feel like a frolic."
Thus they went'fram place to place dis:

And down went one more goblet, follow-

‘ ought now
which it has attained_in all partsof the United
States, and of the signal developments jwhich
have taken place in every branch of science, lite-
rature, and art. have induced the editors and ub—
llshers to submit it to an exact'and thorong re-
vision, and to issue a. new edition entitled; Tux
Axnnrcax CYCLOPJEDIA. . 1
Within the last ten years the progress of discov-
ery in every department of: knowledge has madea
new work of reference an Imperative want.
The movement of political afl'airs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science. and their fruitful
s plicatton to the industrial and useful arts and
t o convenience and refinement of social. life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions has
curred, involvmg national changes of peculiar
moment. The null war of our own country.
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial ac-
tivity has been commenced. - ‘
. accessions to our geogrpphical knowledge
have on made by the indefatigable'explorers of
Men. .
The great political revolutionacf the last (led-tile,
with. e natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in every each; month, and of
whose lives ever one is curious to know thci ar--
ticulars. IGreac atslesbave been fought an im-
portantvsteges maintained, of which the d alls‘
are as yet; preserved only in the newspapers r in
the transient publications of the day, but w icb
take their place in permanent au-
thentic history. - « :
. In pre using the present edition for the reds, it
has ace infily been the aim of the e itors to
bring don t e information to the latest possible
dates. and to furmsh an accurate account of
the most recent di ‘es in science, of every
flesh production inmate, and of the ne' est
inventions in the pm at arts, as well as to 'vs
a succinct: and onginal;ecord of the progress of,
political and historical events. ,~
The work has been begun alter long and careful
prebminary labor, and with the most ample:_re-.
sources for carrying it into a successfulltermlna-
on. ,
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming 11 fuel: a new Cyclopedia, with: the-
snme plan'anrl compass as lts'pncdecessor, gbut
wlth far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
.snch improvements in its composttton as have '
beensgggested by longer experience and enlarged
howl gc. . ' -' . ‘ g
‘ The illustrationswhtch are introduced fowthe
firsttim'e in the present edition have been a ed
not for the sake of tutorial effect, but to ive
ter lucidity and orce to the explanatio _ in
0 text. They embrace-all branches of science
and remarkable features of scenery. architect’rltxre
and art, as well as the various processes of as
cherries and manufactures." ' Although intenlled
for. instruction , rather than embellishmenw no
pains have been spared to insure their artisticgex-
cullenee ' the cost of their execution IS enormous,
and it is believed that they ,wrll find a welcome’ re-
ception as an admlrpblel'cature of the Cyclopedia;
and worthy oi its high character. ,
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It: will be completed in
. sixteen large octave volumes, each_ containing
about 800 ages, fully Illustrated With several'

RAISING OF LA ZAICI.
B! H. O P.
The Mastertarried at Jerusalem;
He with the twelve was lingering;
They wondered much among them,
For Lazarus was dying.
Yester’-night, the sisters, word hudsent,
“ He whom thou lovest is sick; .
Our hearts with anguish now are rent,
Come, Jesus, heal the sick.”
At length He spoke,“Ilisc come to Bethany
For Lazarus now is dead-
The sisters need our sympathy,"
The pitying Saviour said. .’
Four days within the tomb had slept,
This man by Christ beloved; .
They came untotbe grave,—He wept;
The Jews Were greatly moved.
Behold ! the living Savioir weeps,
- The son of God in tears!
Beside the grave where Lazarus sleeps,
The Master sheddeth tears.
But balk! He speaks, “. Arise,” He saith,
The white lids quick unclose,
And from the cold embrace of Death
The young man now npros'e.
Oh i sweetly rise the notes of praise,
From out the gathered throng;
To Him, who tro'm' the dead can raise,
Glad thanks they give in song.

“ Rather queer, that is," said Mr. Capit.
glancing around furtively. . He tried to
awakehis bookkeeper, but he slept like the
Puritan Fathers.
I “ Well,'it’s nothing but the rats or a loose
blind,” he said,sinking' back intothe easy
chair. ' -
“ No, it isn’t i” responded: a voice grufily
' mm the chimney; and the owner of the
voice set up a series of kicks'upon the fire-
bosrd that finally'sent it out into the room
with such force that it knocked over the .
cont-scuttle and hurled a few large pieces of
coal-on Mr. Capit’s pedal extremities.
Ont stepped a figure covered from head
”to foot with heavy bear skins. He looked
like Esau’s younger brother when he went
. in to his father to obtain the blessing.
“ No, it ain’t l" reiterated the figure test-
tily.- “ N o swallows nor rats, this time—it’s
,old Santa Claus!”
' .Mr. Capit léft otII' rubbing his coma, and
inquired in a low tone:
“ What do you want here i”
“ Want-you i” answered Santa Claus, epi
grammatically, and he gave a sneeze that
brought Mr. Capit to his feet. “Why in
the name of Christmas don’t you clean out
that chimney P I’m nearly choked with
dirt andjsoot," and he gave three such tre-
mendous sneezes that his tall for but fell to
the floor.
When Santa Claus had recovered from
his violent exercise, he said, “Come, I'll
stifle in this hot room!” ,
“I—I—my wife expects me home,”.stut-
tered Mr. Capit. . .
“ Oh, she'does, does she? : Well, my wife
expects you,'to'o; so come along-I l" and he
shoved Mr. Capit towards the chimney.
With the help of Santa Claus, Mr. Cupit
crowded into the opening and stood inside
the capacions fire-place.
“Pleasant, ain‘t it f—btit hold still, and
I'll have you at the top' in a minute,” said
Santa Claus, as be fastened a belt around
the waist of the frightened victim.
“ Pull away!" shouted Santa Claus to his
boys at the top, and in a jifi‘y Mr._Capit
was landed on the roof.

tumbled in with great alacrity by the wit.
ling boys.
“ Let us be off!" said old Santa Claus, and
each young Santa Claus leaped on the back
of a reindeer, and away they scampered.
The sleigh was built liken long canoe,
and was filled with gifts of every descrip
tion,-—a barrel of flour, for ballast, brace.

every variety of Christmas gifts.

Six reindeer drew the giver and the gifts.
On the back of each, one of the young

furs rested the queen. When she saw her
husbandshe spoke to a servant who tickled
a golden bell, and immediately children
and attendants rushed into the room and
surrounded the throne in the form of a
semi— ircle. When Santa Claus had kissed
his wrfe andvrecliued by her side, the group
around him chanted a Christmas carol,
which seemed to Mr. Capit like the whis-
pering from fairy-land.
“Who is this man i” asked the queen when
be music had ceased.
“He is the man who don't celebrate our
holiday," chimed a chorus of voices.
“What shall we do with :him,” rejoined
he queen.
“Teach him better,” ‘answered Santa
Claus. ‘
At this ominous Lobservation the group
setup an hilarious shout, and began to
tumble over each other, and leap upon lir-
Capit with such force as to excite in that
gentleman the deepest anxiety for his per-
sonal safety.
“We will show him our place, and what
we do first,” said Santa Claus. Whercupon
he descended from the throne, and bidding
Mr. Capit to follow, led the way into one of
the rooms which adjoined this audience
chamber. The room was a workshop, and
was stored withiron that was cut in large
Iuarrow strips. A man stood at a bench,
' and was hammering and filing these narrow '
bars into a rough looking skate, which was
handed to the next man, who filed and
polished it. They worked rapidly, not even
looking up from their work. The group
passed to the next room where gold, and
silver, and precious stones lay in profusion ;
here a great many men were working with
all possible haste, one working bracelets,
another rings, another curious little images
of gold. In another room there were dolls,
trinkets. and keepsakes. Room after room
was examined where Christmas gifts of all

that it seetned like a pleasant dream to the
delighted Mr. Capit“ Finally they entered
alarge hall dimly lighted by a pendent
lamp at each end, feebly burning. This

was so cold that‘his- teeth chattered as if
they were playing an accompaniment to

sir, that is not very" answered Mr. Capit as
connectedly as his shivering body would
allow. ,
“ Brinngim something to drink," rejoined
Santa Claus. . f
The boys departed, but soon returned

Mr. Capit was almost lost in reverie, but:
after numerous thrusts-from the active st.

ities. . '
Old Santa Claus ended the proceedings
by saying, “ It is enough for one night, roll ’

Seeing that. he was out of danger, Mr. Cal-I

as summer days vanish with ‘lltttnmn’s com-

then increased until another panoramic

’he‘ was notallowed to stay, and only glimpé

In a short time-he was placed in the sleigh,

found himself in his easy chair, resting his‘
*feet in the coal-scuttle, while his bookkeeper
was bestowing an 'afi'eetionate series of
pounds upon him with his cane, and occa-
sionally compressing small particles of
flesh betwen his thumb and forefinger.
Without a word of explanation, Mr. Capit
took his hat and started for home, thinking
of his strange exploits:

time crouching back into the corner. The
ssmi~darknessof the room, combined with
the complete blackness of the inside of the
cabinet, made'this seeming impossible feat
very simple. The levitstion manifestation,
or the suspension of her body in the air,
was done by means of the stool, covered
with s bluck.,_cloth. As it was impossible
to distinguish any color but white within
the cabinet, the stool was, of course, invisi-

ately, and gradual y raising herself, the

the harm. The doctor but bought from the

discontinued. Mr. Holmes, who has been.
one of the chief actors in the cabinet scan-
ces, was at one time the editor 0fa Baptist
religious journal in Georgia. From his
doings here, and information which has re-
cently been received concerning certain
irregularities in London, it is very evident
that he has fallen from race. ‘Katie King,‘
