Lucy and Fanny were two little girls who lived with their father and mother in London. When Lucy was six and Fanny five years old, their Uncle George -came home from India. This was a great joy to them ; he was so kind, and had so much to tell! them about faraway places and strange j people and animals, .and things, such asjtey had never seen. They never wearied of hearing his sto- .nes, ana neaia noft.seem to weary ei ther of telline tuem. One day after diilnerthey both climb ed ou his knees, and Lucy said, "O, Uncle, do tell us altiger story !'' "Very well," saiq he, "I will tell you .9. story about a tigyr and a baby, which happened to some j friends of my own. This gentleman and lady had one .sweet little baby, and they had to take -a very long journey with it through a wild part ot India, l here were no houses there, and they had to sleep in a " tent. - That is a kind of house iua.ie of cloth, by driving hjgh sticks firmly into the ground, and then drawing curtains all over them. It jis very comfortable .and cool in a warm- country where there is no rain; tyit then there are uo doors or windows jto shut as we do at jiight, to make all safe. "One night they had to sleep in a very wild place, nfear a thick wood. The lady said O, I feel so afraid to night; I cannot telljyou how frightened 1 am. I know there are many tigers .and wild animal in the wood; and what if they shoulq come out npon ns? "Her husband replied, My dear, we will make tho serf ante light a fire, and Jceep a watch, and jfou need have no fear ; .and we nrasi put oijr trust in GoJ.' 'So the lady kisaied hr baby an'l put it inio its cradle; and then she nnd her hus ; band knelt down together, nnd prayed to -God to.keep them from every danger, and they repeated that- pretty verse, I- will both lay me down in peace and sleep ; for tbou, Lord, only ipakest me to dwell in . Mnfety' " : ?r V ' ' Mln! the middle! of the night the lady "etarted up with a loud cry, O, my baby ! ny baby ! I dreamed jutt now that a great tiger had crept below the curtains and ran " aviT with mv child r "And when she looked into the cradle, the- bady was not there I ; U, you may think bow dreadful was their distress. They ran. out cf the tent.' and there in the moonlight they saw a great animal mov- i anr toward the wood, with something white in his mouths They aroused all the ser vants, and got loaded guns, and all went after it into the wood. . They went as fast and yet as quietly as they could, and very soon tbey came to a place where they saw through the trees that the tiger had laid . down and was playing with the baby, just as pussy does with a mouse before she kills it. The baby was not crying and did not eem hurt: .The poor father and mother - could only pray to the Lord for help, and -when one of the men took up h;s gun, the lady cried, 0, you will kill my chdd P i But the man raiaed the gun and fired at once, and God made him do it well. "Hie; tiger gave a loud howl, and jumded : tip, and then fell down again,' 'shot quite dead. Then they all ran foward, and there was the dear baby qaite safe, and smiling aa-if it were not at all afraid." "And did the baby really lire!"! r 1 . ; Yes, the poor lady was very ill after ward, but the baby was not at all I have seen it often ainct j then. J You may be sure that often when they looked at 'their child afterwards, the parents gave 'thanks to God. It was he who made the mother dream and awake just at the right m nute, and mad the tiger hold the baby by the clothes so as not to hurt it, and the man fire so as to shoot the tiger, and not the child. But now food night, my dear li tie girls; and before you go to bed pray to God to keepyoi safe, as mjh friend, did that night in the tent-" 1 1 THE CO AST. SURVEY., Washington, Dec 23.'---lt appears from the report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey that the Survey has been carried on during the year tn all the States and Territories, of the A t I antic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Pa cific ocean, It is more than half fin ished on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Prof. Bache estimates that from ten to twelve years will find the field work es sentially completed in all the sectipiis but the two recently begun. A general hydrograpbic ; reconnois sance has" been made of the .coast of California and Oregon. " Every harbor has been surveyed, and a considerable portion of the Washington Territory. The report is voluminous, and contains much valuable information -concerning the navigating interest in all portions of the country. TUB GARDEN Of flSTHSBMAUB --irrre-eiorer DpooTlne, ground was in bloom, and altogether, the garden, in it aspects and associations, was belter cat culated than any plare I know to aooth a troubled spirit, tuiirhl venerable trees insolated from the smaller and less impos ing ones which skirt the pass of the Mount of Olives, form a consecrated grove.' High above, on either hand; towers a lofty moun tain, wuh the deep yawning chasm of Je hosapbat between them. Crowning one of theiri is a living city ; on the slope of the other is tho great Jewish cemetery City of the Dead. Each tree in tbis grove, can kered, and gnarled, and furrowed by age yet beautiful and impressive in its decay, is a living monument of the affecting scenes that have taken place beneath and around it. i he olive perpetuates itself; from the root of the dying parent stfm the tree springs into existence. These are acccunled one thousand years old. Under those of the preceding growth, therefore, the Saviour was woat to rest ; and one of the present may mark the very spot where he knelt, and prayed, and wept. No cavilling doubt can hnd entrance here. 1 he geographi cal boundaries are too distinct and clear for an instant's hesitation. Here the Christian, forgetful of the present, and ob- soroed in the pas, can resign himself to sad, yet soothing" meditation. The few purple and crimson flowers about the oots of the tree will give him ample food for con templation, as emblems of the eufferi'ij and ensanguined death of the Redeemer. THE LEGEND OF SANTA CLAU3. This po; ular name of the saint who pre sides over Christmas and the toy gifts of that welcome season, is derived from Saint Nicholas. The legend of his first appear ance is an Italian one. According to ihis: a snoemaKer named Uiraldi, who lived in Ferrarn, was so miserably poor that his la bor from day to dny barely kept his fami.y from starvation, and he was unable to give even a small dowry to his three pretty daugniers. it was not thought proper to marry without a dowry; and thus the young girls, though each hnd an admirer, were compelled to remain single Their latner, however, went every morning to the shrine to pray to his patron saint. St Nicholas, that he would work a miracle to relieve him from his distress. One of his nearest neighbors, a rich merchant, who chanced one day to over hear his simple petition, ridiculed the idea of his expecting the saint to take care of his daughters, and recommended him to choose a patron saint who would be able to do something for him. "Mine," he said "is the Jew Buonajuto ; he lends n oney at two per cent a month : and if you know how :o manage, you may make four with it. He is not so deaf as Saint Nicholas." The poor man was shocked at this im pious speech, and assured the merchant that his religious faith could never be sha ken. He went every day to church, not withstanding the other's mockery. It was now Christmas day, when the merchant and the Jew settled up their yearly accounts ; Buonnjuto found he ow ed his friend three hundred ducats, and wished to give him an agreeable surprise, ne ordered one ot the durks he had care fully fattened, to be killed and roasted, and then with his oa n hands introduced the three hundred gold pieces into the inside, and sewed them up. He then . sent the duck to the merchant as a Christmas pres- ent. -t ,. '..;-. .. .The merchant's wife, who shared the common prejndices against Jews, declared she would not touch the duckand the rich man resolved to sell it .When , Giraldi passed on his way home, his neighbor, as usual, bantered him on his devotion, show ed mm tne lnnstmaa gut his patron Saint had sent him, and taunted him with the stolidity of S -int Nicholas, who could not even send him a piece of bread. Finally, he offered to sell the dock for a dollar, and to wait for payment, as be knew - Giraldi to be strictly honest. The shoemaker car ried the duck home, and when he carved it for his family's Christmas dinner, and the hundred dueats fell out, his first exclama tion was "Praise to Saint Nicholas." When he recovered from his surprise, he would have taken the money back, but hia wife persuaded him that, as be had bought the duck, it was rightfully his own. He tberefort divided the sum between the two suitors for his two eldest daughters. The merchant, after some days, discov ered his loss of the three hundred ducats, and went to the shoemaker to demand the money, ; which was refused. The cause came before the magistrate who was a pious man, and heard with indignation how cruelly the poor man had bean ridi culed about bis religion. His sentence was thai Giraldi should keep the money, and that the merchant and the Jew should, besides, pay a fine for their usurious deal ing, of one hundred and fifty ducats, to be given as a dowry - for the shoemaker's yousigest daughter. " "' the meaning of this legend is, that a benificent Providence ' watches over, and takes care of the poor who are honest, re ligious and truthful. The traetmoa runs that since "that time St. Nicholas pays a visit, every Christmas night, to all whom he thinks worthy : of ..his favors. He is known altogether by the name Santa Claue.

Feb. 7, 1856. 138 PROSPECTUS or THE COMMEIPXIIAIL, WILMINGTON, N. C. Weekly r Trl-Weekly S a Year. IN ALL CASES IN ADVANCE. Io i'suins a Prospectus to ssk subscriptions to the CoMMEic'iL, Ibe subscriber feels it a duty to leflue his position, so as to leave uo doubt upon tbe minds of bis patroua as to tbe principles hia paper will sustain. In the mutations of past years the Editor has liad.ooe paramount principle before hiui.riOUTU. EKiN BluHTs, under tbe Constitution, have been the aim and object of all his efforts. Several rears ago, we iuserted in our Prospectus the fol lowing words: "Tub Commercial is a pwdel vl political independence; nevertheless, Soutbehn Right wul always supersede the claims of eoern party sf every mime." From this avowal it waa not difficult to judxe what would be our course when the hour arrived hat should place those rights wfthin a tangible issue. The Message of onr crest and good President Pierce, in which he asserted the rights of the South under tbe Constitution, contained the pre cise doctrine that The Commercial had advocated for many years, and tbe Cincinnati Convention havinganstaincd that doctrine, we found in the GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, base with whom we could conscientiously act under the influence of oar judgment and the im pulse of our heart. Tbe principles avowed in tbe Cincinnati Platform, will be sustained now and ao long aa we remain in public life. We believe Buchanan and Bbecbcnridge will he the honest and faithful exponents of tbe prin ciples to which we adhere, and oa which tbe safety and happiness of tbe South depend. Pure a private character, honeat ia public life and of unimpeachable patriotism, thair election can alone preserve tbis Union from ruin and disas ter. Those who have heretofore read onr DaDer. know that we have long desired lo meet tbe ores-' ent hoar, when tbe South will demand her right without atint or compromise, and aee hew many: of the National Democrats of the Free States will sustain her just pretensions. Enough will be: found, we hope and baliere, to bear onr Banner through the "battle aad the breeze," and asaiat ua to transfix it on the ramparts of tbe Constitu-, lion. . !
