The observation that “Christmas comes but once 8 year" is likely to be controverted thia year by those who wil! enjoy the festivities of to-day. The birth of our Saviour having been most *pproprite- ly celebrated in nearly all the churches, this day will be devoted to the rejoicings that annually ac- company the recurrence of the Christmas Festival, During the past week the shopkeepers have Tejoic- ed over their daily receipta from sales, and on Sat+ urday an extra clerical force was required to trans- acttbe business done in many establishments, where Christmas gifts were almost exclusively sokl. Nearly every individual seen in the streets was encumbered with small parcels, and ou Satur- day scarcely s business man went to his home with- out parchasing afew little “extras'’ for the Christ- tas tree, or as presents to loved ones at home, In Broadway, the Bowery, Canal and Grand streets, the stores were all crowded, Parente were secking app@priate gifts for oh ‘dren, and chiklrea were looking for articles that woul! be neceptable to parents. Around the outside Jiands on the Bowery and Grand street, hundreds con- Rregated, inany disgusted at the extravacant prices, while others bought what they desired, ejaculating the congratulary remarks that “Chri mas comes but once # year," and erman's army bas safely marchod through Georgia,” = The few who uttered this last expression, doubtless ex- pended their money in the faith that before another Christmas the rebellion would be ended, and lower | rices prevail The markets were crowded all day by housekeeyr ers waking preparations for Bunday and the fol- lowing holiday, The high price of turkeys dis- wwayed many who anticipated a dinner at which that favorite bird would occupy the post of honor As nearly every customer bought some kind of poultry, the butchers and other dealers @ightly reduced their prices for the purpose of encouraging trade ‘in their line'' of business. Thus, meat that was sold in the morning at 80 cents per pound, fell to 2% before the sun declined, From the indications our reporters presume that C ristinas will be velo. brated at thousands of dinner ta los quite as luxu- riously a@ heretofore, although there will be the ususl number of families unable to provide anything extra in Lonor of the occasion—whi'e others will be dependent upon the charitable far the food they will eas to-day, The toy dealers, who have received the largest share of the money expended by the people, have no doubt earned their extra profits by the isbor of waiting upon the wants of so many thousand cus- tomers, each wishing to be waited upon first, and al) requiring some service, the repetition of which taxes the patience of il]-natnred storekeepers. Our wdofatigable, who went on o ‘‘raid,"* says be discov- wed thas the most business was dgne a thow stores, where the attendants manifested the utrecet good nature in waiting opan their customers; while at those stores attended by !ll-manvered salesmen, scarcely one customer tn s dozen bought goods, they couk! parohase quite ns eamily elewhere. He thinks the old maxim ‘that flies never hover over vinegar’’ was exerophied by his experience, and he haa reavon t) believe that a sweet temper wil! attract customers in New York city quite an readily as 8 swarm of files will settle around « sugar hogsheed. However this may be, up t « late hour s!l who wanted pur- chasable articles frequented the different stores, and ere midnight tolled Santa Claus began his rounds, stopping to fill the stockings of thou- pontifica] high mass wae sung with the following clergymen :—Colebrat, Most Rev, Archbishop Mc- Closkey ; Assistant Priest, Very Rev.

The boys and girls who did find their stockings filled yesterday morning, and rejoload over their good fortunes, were envied by the other little children whose hose will be found full of ys or other pretty things this morn- ing.

The apecta! chance! was decorated with # large screen, about thirty feet in haght, made of evergreens, over which was a star and» cross some two feet high. Through three handsome Gothic arches are seen, the ornamentation of the Communion-table, and the desks of the clergy and choristers, and « representation of the angels at the Virth of Christ mnging ‘Glory to God in the High- est, on earth peace and good will towards men," which appears on # panel extending from the Gos pel to the Epistle side of the altar, The monagram “TH.

In England there was a su- Peratitious practice to gallop horses well, and then let blood from them copiously, which, it waa be- Ueved, would ensure them against disease in the following year. In Ireland to this day there is also ® curious custom, which is kept up in this wise: A wren, or some bird resembling it, is placed in handsome house, richly decorated and gilt with miniature plumes, &c, This house is carried by a boy, who is followed by several others, and ai! go from house to house collecting money, and singing as they go the following ditty: The wren, the wren, the king of all birds; Bt.

Further, we believe that some important penal legislation is necessary in the presens condition of our railroads, reculating the rate of speed, and restricting it to twenty-five m.lea an hour as @ maximum out of the city, and five miles an hour‘within its limite, Alo, we be- lieve that such legislation should be extended so asto enforce a rigid inspection of iron rails and railroad materials, especially at the manufactory, #0 that their perfection may, if possible, be estub- lished before using them, The voluminous testimony which was taken in this investigation isto be printed, from notes thas were taken by a phonographer, who is supposed to have been employed by the great railway king of the Harlem Road ; end is is not improbable thas the proceedings of the inquest may Le rehearsed before the Legislature, Tuer BeeKMAN Strerr Fire —Loss $490,- 000,—The fire in Boekman street on Friday last was inuch greater than appeared from arday morning's reports, involving a loss of sbout tour hundred thousand dollars, Three fine buildings Now, 65, ST and 59 were almost totally destroyed, with their contents, and $1 and 63 were dainaged by water, No, 55 was a five story mar! le bul owned by R, Wyman, who was insured for g25,.

I'll atep to him, and talk it over.'* Accordingly he went and joined thetwo lads, and Without more ado, bewan the subject to them. “Will, thy mother ie fain togo live in Manchester, and coverta to let the farm, Now, I'm willing to take it for Tom Higginbotham ; but I like to drive @ keen bargain, and there would be no fun chaflere hg with thy mother just now. Let thee aud me buckle te, my lad | and try to cheat each other; i® will warm us this cold day.’ “Let the farm|"’ said both the lads at once, with infinite surprise, * Go live in Manchoster!"" When Samuel Orme found that the plan had never | efore been named to either Will or Tom he would have nothing to do with it, he ssid, until they had spoken to their mother ; likely she wae “ dase ed" by her hus! and's death ; he would wait » day or two, and not a name it to any one; not to Tom Higginbotham bimself, or may be he would set his heart upon {t. Tho Inds had better goin and talk ‘y over with their mother. He bade them good dayg and lett them Will looked very gloomy, but he did not «pest till they got near the house. Then he said,— “Tom, vo to th’ slippon and supper the cows, 1 Want to spoak to mother alone. When be entered the house-place, she was sitting before the fire, looking into its embers. She did not bear bim come in; for some time she had lost her quick perception of outward things. “Mo her! what's this about volng to Manchester?’® asked he, “Ob, lad!"* said she, turning round and speaking in a beseeching tone, “I must go and seek our Lize we. I cannot rest lere for thinking on her. Many'@ the time I've left thy father sleepiag in bed, and stole to th" window, and looked and looked my hear® out towards Manchester, till thought I must just set out and tramp over moor and moss straight away till I got there, and then lift up every down” cast tace till I came to our Lizzie. And often, when the south wind was blowing soft among the hole lows, I've fancied (it could but be fancy, thou know« est) | heard ber crying upon me: and I've thought the voice camo closer and closer, ti] at laa, 1s was sobbing out ‘Mother’ close to the door 4 and I've ssolen down, and undone the latch before now, and looked out into the still black night, think. ing to see her, —and turned sick and sorrowful when Theard uo living sound but the sough of the wind dying away. Ob! speak not to me of opping here, when she may le perishing for hunger, like the poor Jad in the parable." And now she lifted up her voice and wept aloud, Will was deeply g teved, He had been old enough to be told the family shame when, more than twe years before, bs father had had his letter to bis daughter returned by her mistrees in Manchester, tolling him that Lizzie had left her service some time—aud why, He had sympathizead-with hie fae ther's stern anger; though he had thought him something hard, it ia true, when he had forbidden hus weeping, Leart-broken wife to go and tryto find her poor sinning child, and declared thas henceforta they would have no daughter; that she sbould be as one dead, and her name never more te named at market or at mca! time, in blessing or in prayer. He had his peace, with compressed ips and con- tracted brow, when the neighbors had noticed te him how poor Lizzie's death had aged both bin fae ther and his mother; and how they thought the bee reaved couple would never bold up their heads again. He himself had felt as if that one event had made him old before his time ; and had envied Tom the tears he had shed over poor, pretty, innocenty dead Lizzie. THe thought about her sometimos, sill he ground his teeti, ani could have struck hep down in shame, His mother lad never named hes to him until now. Mother!" sail Le at last, Moat likely she is," ‘No, Will, she fs not dead,’’ said Mrs, Leight ‘God will not let her tie till I've seen ber once again, Thou dost not know how I've prayed and prayed just once again to see her aweet face, and tell hep I've forgiven her, though she's broken my heart ave has, Will," She coull not go on for » minute or two for the choking sobs, “Thou dost notknow that, or thou wouldst not say sie could be dead, — for Gol ie very mereiful, Wil, Le ia,-—He is muck more pitiful than man,—Icouki never ha’ spokea to thy father as I did to Hins—and yet thy futher forgave ber at last, The last words he said were that he forgave her, Tbou'lt not be harder thag thy father, Will? Do not try and hinder me going to seok her, for it's no use,"’ Wi!) sat down very still for a long time before he spoke. Atlasthe said, *1'N not binder you, & think sle's dead, but that's no matter," “She is not dead’? said her mother, with low earnestness. Will took 0 notice of the interrup tion, ** We will all go to Manchester for a twelveronthy, and let the farm to Toia Higginbotham, I'll get blacksmith's work ; and Tom can bavegood schools ing for awhile, which he’s always craving for. Af the end of the year you'll come back, mother, and give over fretting for Lizzie, and think with me that she is dead, —and, to my mind, that would be more comfort than to think of her living ;" he dropped his voice as he spoke these last words, Bt shook her head, but made no answer, Ho ask She may be dead, again, — **Will you, mother, agree to this?’’ “Tl agree to it a-this-na,'’ said she, “If I heas and see nought of ber for a twelvemonth, me being im Manchester looking out, I'l] just ha' broken m heart fairty before the year's ended, and then I shal know neither Jove nor sorrow for her any mora, when I'm at restin the grave—I'll agree to thay will."
