"Hesp on more wood-ths wind Is chill,
But let It whistle as It will,
Well keep our mouy Christmas still.
Each age has deemed the born year
The httest time for festal cheer;
And well our Christians sires of old
Loved when the year Its course had rolled,
And brought bhthe Christmas back again.
Twas Chrstmls preached the miqthie,t ale
Twas Christnlas told the merrivst tale;
Christmas gsmbol oft could cheer
poor mans heart through half the year"
So wrote Sir Walter Scott OF "Christmas in the |
olden time, aud although in Yankee land, all hol
idays iae before the Thanksgiving Festivals Christ
mas yet lives and many the happy family groups
gathered on this annual festive day, to do justice
to the mirth aud iollity which the day demands
Yesterday was properly Christmas Day, but this
day will be more generally celebratedi presents
will be given and received, Christmas greetings
will be exchanged, and business will be suspended
that all the world may enjoy themselves and wish
each other a merry Christmas. SO We would say
to all the world-a Merry Christmas--merry in
the interchange ofgifts merry in the family parties
which to day will be gathered together for socis'
/ evening; merry to all tho merchants whose profits
enable them to look with sleek satisfaction over
their account current" with the world; merry
with the clerks who to-day get out TO erjOy the
blessed free wintry air; merry to the parties who
with feet steeds aud silvery tinkling BELLS glide
over the frozen roads; merry to the heart that
seeks out the poor and the suffering to minister
unto them, and 10 the recipients of the bounty OF
others; merry for the livery men who see prospec-
tive dollars in each fake Of snow; merry to the
laborer and artisan who can be at home with his
patient and loving wife and frolicking childreu
merry for all who with true thanksgiving are glad
and joyous that Christmas has come again to weave
bright web OF happiness over the laud, including
every home and every heart. Then let the merry
laugh and dance go round, and to day, eighteen
, hundred and fifty nine years after the original
Christians, let the word go forth from every heart
that rang out on that eventEu morn, "Ptace on
earth, good will to men"
