st. Peters Church, at Rome, covers
about six acres Of ground, and the cos, OF
construction was estimated at the close of
the seventeenth century at some fifty mil
lions Of dollars. 1t is undoubtedly the
most magnificent Christian temple ever
erected, and probably no building of an
cient or modern times ever cIualIcd it in
magnitude and internal symmetry and
beauty. According to Roman Catholic
historians, as early as the year 90, Of the
Christian era, St. Anicetus, bishop Of
Rome, who had received ordination from
st. Peter himself, erected an oratory on
the site of the present structure, to mark
the place where the Apostle was inferred
after h's crucifxion, and where many of
the Christians had suffered martyrdom.

world alone.
Never make money at the expense If
your reputation.
Take no physic when You are we'll L.,
you die to be better.
Truth is like torch, the more !, Is
shaken, the more it shines.
BE generous to those who hold dif;srcu,
opinions from yourself.
1t is more disgracetill to distrlst ones
friends than to be deceived by them.
Their pleasure and their will. are inca.
sures princes take, of right and wrong.
In governing others, you mus, do wha,
you can do, net what you would do.
An honest man is believed wi,bou, an
cath, for his reputation swears for him.
Traits of character which you seek to
conceal, you had better seek to reform.
Keep clear Of the law, for. even if you
gain your case, You are generally loser.
OF all the Ills which, love brings, zeal.

Christmas.

Santa Claus and Kris kringle have
made their annual visits. and the hearts
of all the urchins in our parish have been
made glad by the beneticent gifts OF those
time honored personages. Santa Clous
has come down the chimney OF every dom'-
Gil in the country and filled the stockings
of all the little ones with his liberal gifts;
and the old ones have gathered together
and conmemorated in proper manner
the coming of the great day Of feast and
folc. We were fortunate enoue h to have
had number of invitations to join in DIM
ners with our friends, and had the weather
permitted, we should certainly have &C.
cepted, at least one ofthe many polite invi-
tations to feast upon roast Turkey and the
etceteras usual on such Occasions but, in
the recollection of our Oldest citizen, never
have the heralds of merment and good
cheer, had such disagrceable weather.
and such untavOrabie ausprices 10 cohtehd
against in the fultilment OF their mission as
on the present occasion. Yet for all this
we hear Of none who did not enjoy them
selves. Our Landlady spread the festi:e
board and invited all who wished to come
and partake either hospitality and mer-
guests we have never seen than on this
occasion. Egg. Nog in the morning, and
Roast Turkey at dinner togethea with
spirit stirring wine, and every thing else
that the most fsatidons appetite could wish
for. Taking all things into consideration,
Christmas passed with more than the usual
spirit of hilarity.

True GREATSEss.-Chief Justice Mar:
shall was in the habit of going to market
himself. and carrying home his purchases.
Frequently he would be seen at SUNRISE
with poultry in one hand vegetables in the
other. On one of these occasions, fash
ionable young man from the North, who
had removed to Richmond, was swearing
very violently because he could find no
one to carry home his turkey. Marshall
stepped up, and asking him where he lived
said. on being told.
"That is on my way, and will take it
for YOU"
When he came to the house the Young
man inquired.
.'What shall pay you?"
''Oh, nothing" said the Chief Justice,
"you are welcome it was on my way,
and n, trouble"
"Who was that polite man. who brought
my turkey home for me % inquired the
young man of Lystander.
"I'hat,' replied he. 'is John Marshall
Chief Justice of the United States.
"Why did he bring home my turkey ?''
10 give you severe reprimand. and
to teach youto attend to your own bust
ness" was reply.
True greatness never feels above doing
