THE NArIvITY.-The Anglo Saxons named De-
cember "winta monat," or winter month, but
after becoming somewhat instructed in christian
ity, the period of time became designated heligh
monat,r OF holy month, because of its numerous
festival days in honor of the Holy Nativity.
Long ago Christmas was observed in England
as solemn festival-all business ceased cere-
monies commemorative of the illustrious event
continued until "Twefth Day"-the time at
which the Infant was presented to the Wise Men
of the East But in later times the day began TO
be regarded as a mere holiday for feasting and
merry making. In oden times celebration began
on Christmas Eve, by decorating houses with ev-
ergreens huge candles were lighted, and log
of wood named the " Yule Log" was put in the
chimney place" yule," !" in Saxon, designating
the feast day. People went about from house to
house singing Christmas Carols, or simple songs
celebrating the birth of the Redeemer, and Mass
commenced in the churches at midnight. Some
took wassal bowls" or health drinking vessels
and drank to the health of fruit trees, believing
that would secure good crop. Water was sup
I
night. and no bread, baked on that day could ev-
er become mouldy AS these superstitions died
out nobemen began to treat their dependents on
Christmas, and for while receive and mingle
with them on professed equality. A branch of
mistletoe was hung over the door, and whatever
Young man could induce maiden to pass under
the branch, was permitted to kiss her Lords OF
MisruIe were elected whose business it was to
devise and lead in the various sports, and who
held Office until after the Feast of Pur fcatiop or
Candlemas Day.
IT is remarkable that Christmas is so little OBJ
served by Protestant churches with many, loud
ly protesting christianity, it is a season of gor-
mandizng and frivoity, rather than the most ho-
ly and ilustrous anniversary known to civiliza-
ton but we are told by their theological expos
tors that some chronologists deny that Christ was
born on the day corresponding with the 25th of
December, of the New Style there is doubt,
they say in fixing the exact time. and consequent
w. the Nativity is not celebrated at all This,
we think is but contemplate argument for,
little disaster could possibly result from proper
" hOnoring the day commonly 6elteUed to com
plete another finite measure of time from the IL
ustrious birth day. In sOlemnity and propriety
of Christmas observation, we believe the Catbo-
lie Church exces all others Inasmuch as ma
ton celebrates the birthday OF Freedom with pa
trioic orations professions, proclamations OF or.
ordinance and waving of flags, surely, that high
er, hoer Redemption should be appropriately
honored by the people of empires, Kingdoms and
States whom Truth has made free, with joyful
songs of the emancipated, by the ringing of sa-
cred bells and by the ohpring of the sweeter in
ceDse of grateful prayer

THE IRISH HARrER.-Mr. E. D. Campbell pos
sesses painting executed by the late John Breen,
an artist who died here, last summer. The picture
is unfinished, but it nevertheless, evidences ex-
traordinary art In its production. An Irish
Harper is shown sitting under tree near
church and Round Tower noting the progress
of a distant battle. The old man is accompanied
by his dog, huge hound, which, to the careless
spectator, seems disproportionate with other
objects in the picture. But the painter studied
proportions correctly. The Irish. greyhound is
among the larggst Of the canine race, usually
three feet in hS..,g, but they have been known
to greatly esSned that. Goldsmith says that he
saw several of that breed, which were four feet
in height, and as large as yearling calf. They
were kept in early times to free the country OF
wolves, and to hunt wild boars, which were nu-
merous in England and Ireland. Chambers
relates that the late Marquis OF Sligo had several
Irish greyhounds, which very nearly correspond
ed with the afore- mentioned dimensions. The
artist did not, therefore, err in judgment of right
proportion The entire picture, including the
patriarchal figure representing the Irish Bard,
is an exquisite work of art, considering the hum

PREACHERS WITH INVERTED CoMMAs-After
reading sermon printed in a Sacramento paper,
we are moved by the spirit of impatience to
protest against preachers quoting more than
seven or eight chapters in a single sermon. Their
discourses may be considered collections of scrip
tural passages, inverted commas, and sprinklng
of originality. They drag in impertinont quota
tions with, even, less discrimination than the
preacher who played on harp NV thousand
strings Why not let parishioncrs read the Bible
for themselves, and in sermonizng produce orig
inal deductions drawn from passages of Divine
established philosophy? There is no greater

vations of bis own, quotes at frequent intervals

DEATH OF A Man OF LETTERS. Edward Pol
lock, once editor of the Trinity Times, died in
San Francisco on Monday week Though not
adapted to the editorial profession, he has left
many productions of unquestioaable merit, among
which is a magnificent poem named "The Chan
dos Picture" In reviewing Pollock's literary
remains it should be kept in mind that he ,crote
for bread lie produced more than any other
mere contributor to journals, but the fecundity
of his brain was occasioned by the stern declara-
tions of necessity Let the critic bear lightly on
defects discoverabe bread, shelter, raiment,
were the price of each separate line. He looked
at the world with the visionary gaze of poet ;
he had not the practical genius to descend to the
discussion of common occurrences be could not
succeed as an editor whore others of inferior
mind maintained certain respectability he
pursued fame with celebrity but carried no scrip,
and in his money necessities took no thought for
the morrow.

ORIGIN OF "NAKED TRUTH."--" Truth and
Falsehood travelling one warm day, met at a
river and both went to battle at the same place
Falsehood coming first out of the water took his
companion clothes, and left his own vile raiment
and then went on bis way. Truth coming out OF
the water, sought in vain for his own proper dress
-dsdaining to wear the garb of Falsehood
Truth started, all naked, in pursuit of the thief
but not being swift on foot, has never overtaken
the fugitive. Ever since he has been known as
Naked Truth"

IT should be the duty of parents and instructors
to discover what bent the natural genius OF chill
dren evince, and render them every facility to
crafty and test their disposition; but we often
find il the case, where a child is compelled to
learn trade and adopt profession that is utter
ly dstasteful for which he has no bent or desire,
and when arrived at manhood he finds himself
the botch and not the master of his business.
South Justly observes: "One man, perhaps,
proves miserable in the study of the law, who
might have fourished in that of physic or divni'
ty; another man runs his head against the pulpit,
who might have proved servceable to his country
at the plow; and the third proves dull and
heavy philosopher, who possibly might have made
q good mechanic, and have done well at the use

"GRAvE YARD OF THE HEART."-A newspa-
per poet relates that there is "grave yard of
the heart" We suppose that's the place where
expired hopes, dead ambition and extinct love
are buried. Time is the gravedigger, Despair
weaves the shroud, Memory fills the funeral train
with mourners and Regret surmounts every mon
ument with a nigbt-plumaged raven. o, there
are many hearts in this gladstone land with Gem
etries in the bither corners and there are yet
other hearts in whose silent ground living men
who move among us are entombed. But the
sleep of the dead is one of unrest Hope has a
summer lodge in that silent valley, and some
times walks among the tombs striking the coffin
lids with his staff, at intervals startling a pale
citizen Of the grave to stand disquieted before
him, like Samuel before the Witch Of Eudor.--
But, if there are sorrowiul mounds in that inner
world, there arc, also fragrant flower gardens and
sacred temples and perpetually flowing fountains,
singing birds and laughing children, who in sim
less purity 90 down TO gather flowers among the

THE PATTEN STEAMSHIP ENTERPRIsE.-John
Patten, Jr., of New York, desires us to explain
a circumstance by which he was subjected to
much undeserved censure. When in San Fran
cisco, and hearing complaints of Pacific Mail eX-
tortion, he suggested to Capt. John Henderson
and others the possibility of raising money enough
in San Francisco and New York to put on line
of steamers that couldn't be bought off. The
subject was extensively talked Of then, and Major
SNYDER of the Mint was named as a suitable per-
son for receiver After advising Henderson to
confer with Snyder on the subject, Patten sailed
for New York, as business required his immediate
return, and Henderson, without mentioning the
affair to Major Snyder, issued circulars. Agents
of the Pacific Mail company called on Snyder
who of course, knew nothing OF the matter or
its originator, and in consequence Patten was
declared humbug and suspected swindIer
