Nicholas soon would be there The children were limited all snug in their bethr IVhile visions of ereear plembs danced in their heads And mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap Had just settled our brains for a long winter's When out on the lawn there arose ucIi a clatter spreng from the bed to see what was the matter Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open the hutters and threw up the sash The moon on the breast of the new fallen Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below II'hen what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer With a little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moraeut It must be St Nick More rapid than eagles hie commers they came And he whistled and shouted and callml them by name "NoW" Dasher now Dancer now Prancer teiri Vixen "On! Comet on Cupid on! Dundee- and Blixem To the top of the porch! to the'top of the wall! "Now dash away cloth away! dash away all As dry leavr before the wild hurricane fly When theyreet with an obstacle mount to the sky So up to th house-top the coursers they flew With the aleigh full of St Nicholas too And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof As I drew in my head and was turning around Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot And his clothes were all tarnisted with ashes and soot A bundle of toys was flung on his back And he look'd like a pedlar just opening his pack His they twinkled! his dimples how merry His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry His droll little mouth was drawal lip like a bow And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath He had a broad face and a little round belly mat shook when he laughed like a bOwl: full of jelly HP was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf And I laughed when I saw bine in spite of myself A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me In know I had nothing to dread Ile spoke not a von! butt vent straight to work And fili'd all the staekinge then turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of hitt nose And giving a nod up the chimney he rose He sprang to his sleight to his team gave a whistle And away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him explaiu ere he drove out of Happy Chi ilmas to alt and to all a good night" LETTER BAGS SAT READING ROOM BROAD-ST Ship TALLYHO Fisher LONDONBrig EXPORT Brown BORDEAUX HIGH WATKII THIS DAY '7H 121' MARINE PORT OF' CHARLESTON ARRIVED YEsTERDA 'Line ship Com Perry Thorp New-York 10 days Mdze and Produce--eto Street Co meet Sebring 11 Wheeler Mille Hyde land Flemin' Co Soria Co Vernon BancroftJ Townsend Hull Woolsey IVilliams Benson Ginness Relnh M'Intire Co Pitkin gz Boyd Rodgers Spofford Tileston Percival Boag Moss Caseidy MOUIF My Haig Walker A Mom truss Gilman Co Hoyt Co NI Wit kine Robineon 11 NI Hamilton Co Elaii Co Baker Gregory Co Dodd Barnard Campbell Westfeldt Mowry Hemming Roas Hurlbut Condy Carvin IV A Caldwell Preston It Anderson II emit Boyce Henry Babcock Co Chrietihurg NI'Arthur Co Godard Holbrook Deming Henley Drege Chupein Douglas Fair child Lyon Co Parieth Corning Co ler Co 0 A Rhoorback Creadv Adger Co Galpin Corning Wildman Starr Bigelow Birch Cochran and M'Carter Passengers Mr Oliver and lady Dr Ridington and brother Messrs Jackson Morgan Williams Palmer Sewill Hepburn Darnword Taylor ('fiord Hall O'Riley Kingston and Dormony Line ship Empress Sinclair New-York 4 days Mtlze and Street Paul SaFF Hamilton Fa relcld Lyon Cu Sebring Walker Ansley co Hem icing co Fenn Towneend Iliji Montross Hyde Cleveland Mordecai 0 A Roorbach Babcock co Brown M'Carter A Ketch run IVildman Starr Felker Burch IV Swift Norton Saylor Lawton II Rose Roger Boyce Henry Thome Olds Me Giuness Holbrook Bancroft Preston Mc ArthurE Bement IV A Caldwell Cohen Nlorde cai Hoffman co IV Hall Blom DitissonJ Elder Alonnsey Mills Mowry Wheeler Ferman Soria co Wilkes Wilkins Ellis 1 Robinson Dubois Simons Noe mand Stile son Benson Ingliss Percival Bong bring Black Hurlbut I WalterP Cohen and the master Passengers Mrs Eyland and twe children Mrs Vellum and child Miss Chesterman Messrs Faber Henryata Sebring 51 Warren and Jones Left line ship Calhoun Munro for this port '24th inst Thc achr Cheraw Nichols which sailed from NVork on the Ilth inst for Georgetown put back out the 18th dismasted Ship Florian Harrison Philadelphia 7 days and 80 bouts -from the Capes Mdze and Hemline Ross Hoyt 84 co Couner beland Star Hurlbut Smith Nliddleton A GahIard Mathieson Chamberlin It Smith ohen co Johnson A parelli Moses It Bentham Bird Walker Hyde Cleneland 0 I Dobson Burekinyer Ramsay Gaillard IV Bacot Harleaton Jun Kershaw Lewis co IV Connor Alston A Parker Horry Deas Broun Carnoehan I I Bounethean1 Bancroft Cheesborough Campbell Fairchild Lyon co Edniondston mi II Elliott Solloe Warley Satire Walter Kershaw Lewis ken Boyce Robinson Fleming Fleinuaine Kirkpatrick M'Kenzie Ladson Dawson Montgomery Platt Huard Mulligan Mey Gibson Mathews Bonneau Ramsay Percival Bong Tracey Hoff Johnson West Dr Tidyman It Landreth IV IVilKinson Adger co A Le Prince Strohecker Stoney IV Calhoun Smith tSz co Rout IV IVightmanV Kolme Philbrook Grimke Simone IV Brown IV Gibson IV McCready Wilson A Mille' IV 111 BerrettE Gibbes and Ellis Pas Woodruff lady and family Mr Hoff Lieu!
