C., TUESDAY, JAN Star. JARY 19, 1858. WHY AMT ALWAYS INVITED OUT ON CHRISTMAS DAY? Tecannot tell why Lam. I am not tich. Tam not handsome. [ have nothing to leave, and very littic to give away. | have ne expecta- tions. Lam not exactly young. I don’t keep acarriage. I have not the smallest Inbel of a title stuck onto my name. Then why am [ alway? invited out on a Christmas day? I have #e Dany invitations that. if I had the same num- her of heads as a sheet of postage stamps, I be- them on that da How is it? Why, there’s Curmudgeon, the Young Cur. asweeall him. He is well eon- nected. Ie is so rich that he might sleep ou a mattress of bank-netes every night, aud not feel the pressure in the least.” He has so many uncles and aunts in the Peerage, that they are themselves. There is a baronetcy at his feet, iato.which he cannot help tumbling some day; and he has legs. and a nose, and a mouth, and ® pair of eyes as regularly drawn as his salary #t the Circumlocutien Office, and we all know what a handsome figure that is. Well, not- withstanding all these attractions—and he wears ‘pegtop trousers into the bargain, which, per- shi re the very loudest pegtops in London— ‘tis as much as he can do to get an invite on “hat wniversally-dining-ont day, the 25th of Deromber. 1 did hear that last year he dined at the Hercules Club, in solitary grandeur. all ey himself. He was the only man in this mon- ster-grandiose dining room on that day. and | had the whole corps of twenty-two servants and thirteen boys (all of them in livery and crested battons) to wait upon him. Lam told that this was a most affecting sight. especially when his plate of plum-pudding was brought in. It was @ thin slice, with a sickly blue flame that seemed to be dancing in derision over it. The butler had to leave the room. It was too much for him, poor fellow! Now, when I go out on Christmas day, 1 try to make myself as happy as I can. I not only amuse myself, but I try to amuse others. The ehildren meet me in the hall. and we are friends inaminute. No necessity for an introduction. t may have a whistle, or a lot of Bonaparte’s ribs, or a caricature, or an orange, or some friendly offering in my pocket; and the moment T bold out my hand. they come to me as natu- izally as possible. @romp, and play, and are as happy as though there were no powders in this world. and there was no chance of the doctor coming ‘so see Us the next day. I make them rab- ‘bits Q7, the wall that stand on the hind legs. sed vat, and scratch their long ears with their torepaws. I cut them baskets, deaths’ heads «e., out of oranges, and other patterns most curious and comical to behold. r get my first ‘and second fingers to represent the legs of a Highlander. and, in that capacity, and with a handkerchief for a kilt, they scamper round the tray, and dance a hornpipe—which, for xe- curacy, could not be surpassed by Mr. T. P. Cooke. With the simple aid of a napkin my hand conjures up an old woman's face that makes them die of laughing; and their aston- ishwent knows bounds when, after superhu- man efforts of strength. I succeed in pushing half a crown through the mahogany table, and it is distinctly heard to drop through on the opposite side. ey never tire of listening to my imitations of Punch, and they ask me again and in to bark like the dog Toby, which canine imitation so wonderiully life-like that pussy rounds her back, and takes up a defensive attitude on the hearth-rug to resist any invasion of it. Most aeelogically curiousare my assumptions of varivws animals—without pride or affecta- tion. I believe I have an entire poultry-yard in my throat. My cock-crowing was, I’ tell them, the very identical salute of the man that made the sun in Kentucky rise by mistake a xood hour earlier than usual. They laugh, and their laughing makes me laugh. until we are told that grandpapa cannot bear so much noise, and we had better go into the pa age and play by ourselves Tam enlisted in the theatriest corps. Some- how. to the great amusement of everybody. the most ignoble char are allotted tome The daughters of the they are sweetly pret- ty) have a malicious pleasure in dressing me Up as grotesquely as they can. Their greate-t fun consists in smotheriug mny face in old lad caps and bynnets, and I have a shrewd susp cion that that particular style of head-dress dloes not tend much to increase my beauty, for IT notice that the effeet my appearance y duces on the company is alw. one of the most uproarious merriment. The old people sy ito convulsions of laughter, the boys clap their hands, and even the servants put their aprons up to their mouths, and with ¢ tural effervescing sound, like the soda-water bottles, disappear hurri the kitchen stairs. To give a sample of my xeneral treatment, I will mention that the fir wharacter was Don-key.

[ must say, most complimentary to my powers of imitation [ don't know what’ it wes that inspired me to bray. but it sounded so natural, and it so clear- ly went Lome to the hearts of everybody. that the loud explosion of laughter that en-ued would have done puor Curmudgeon’s heart good to have heard it I am not going through each Separate staze of a Christmas party.
