CHRISTMAS AND IT'S CUSTOMS.

With modern Christian nations it

The magnificent shows which wei
coined it, in the old barOnial times,

no longer see the boar's-hcad borne in
to the sound Of violin and harp, to
grace the overloaded table. We no
longer behold the page, with the was
sail bowl, preceded by the mimic
trumpctcr. We no longer hear the
shouting, the music, and the mirth of
the jester, as crowds OF scrvitors drag
the yule log into the great hall, where
the baron and his lady stand, in state,
to welcome it. The mines, the games,
the bulloonery, the noisy rcvcls have
passed away. But not the less hearty
is ourmodcrn observance of Christmas.
On the contrary, the festival is the
more appropriately kept, in whatever
it is more scdatc than formerly. In

BEING IN LovE.-The epoch of being
in love, notwithstanding all is the most
agreeable in the whole course Of life.
The soul has then no craving to graft

difference. He who is in love cherish
es life, and but enjoys it the better for
little drawbacks in other affairs,
which only tighten loves relish when
we return to it. 1t is a better and
pleasanter thing than money-getting,
or courtship, or sullen study, or mad

desires that engross US wholly without

pleasure. The romantic tinge which
often colors our conduct, is an agree

attraction, and confers a halowed
charm upon the passion. Being in
love is a restraint upon evil feelings
a situation favorable to virtue. The
love Of woman is a corrective of our
perverse natures, and while its season

COME, COLD WINTER, COME.

BALTIMORE, Nh.

Come, cold, blighling Winter, come,
Thou choicest season Of all;
Come, and be thou sad and drear
Beneath your icy pail.
Come, clad in your mantle Of white,
And scatter the flowers sweet,
And earth's green covering blight
Beneath your chilling feet.
Let darkest clouds above
Shut out the suns bright rays,
Let naught my mem'ry rack
OF brighter, happier days.
Let Northern winds in sadness moan,
Let rain in torrents pour,
And be thou, season, far moro dreary
Than e'cr thou hast before.
Oh come with your frost and sleet
And kindly charm my soul,
Since by the hand Of foul deceit
I've qualIed from misery's bowl;
Since youthful hopes, that once so brigh
Made all the future seem,
Have met too soon chilling blight
Have lost too soon their CLEAN.
