THE CHRISTMAS SEAsoN.-0ld Christmas is steal.
ing on, and soon will have passed away. What a
host Of pleasing and painful restrictions crowd upon
our minds at the name Of Christmas 1t seems
but as yesterday when we danced with bsJish slec
on reaching home fer the holidays and kissed those
smiling faces which We shall never sec again, be.
HevDg that all the world as happy as ourselves
and that the stern realities Of life existed only In the
imagination Of some cross old men who have en-.
poyed themselves occasionally to cheek the buoyan
spirits of the rising generation. But alas /. Is too
true, and every year teaches us moro fally the
nothngness Of life, and what shadows we are ard
what shadows We pursue. There is, perhaps, no
other day In the year on which the heart Of human
ity is go open as Christmas day, or on which 80
many presents distributed, with protestations Of
kindness and regard; and. il we may judge from
the advertising columns Of our journal, and the
imposing appearance Of our stores, thousands Of
dollars are expended on books, cakes, wines, tur.
keys, and other tcles Of creature comfort TO era
THY the taste and delight the eye. We arc glad
TO witness these intercbapess Of Kindness and we
hope and trust the poor win not DO forgotten amid
