Christmas has come, amerry Christmas,
and again we are spared to enjoy the many
blessings meeted out to us by the hand of a
kind and bountiful providence, whose unceas-
ing care has been our constant aid and sup
port. A Merry Christmas shouts the gay
and busy throng to-day, whose pulse runs
high with anticipation for the future. A
merry Christmas falls on our ear at every
turn from lips of provoking sweetness and
eyes of bewildering brightness.
Christmas has come again. whispers the
aged sire to his companion in years, as with
trembling hand he draws closer to bis side
the seat that another year and another leaf
has made vacant Many happy Christ
mas to you, my child, faltcrs the dying
Mother, as she clasps her first born to her
bosom, where the chill trelnor Of death is
fast creeping. Happy Christmas yocifer-
ates the News-boy, as he dashes the tear
from his nearly frozen cheek, while he wea
rily wends his way to the home where beg
G ard poverty reigns, where pampered ambi-
ton has robbed it of every CLEAN of social
happiness. Merry Christmas there to greet
his ears, but not his soul, for he meets moth
ing to cheer or refresh his jadel limbs from
the weary wrestle Of life, that he may Target
for season his multitude of cares, and re-
turn with renewed vigor to the broad arena
of worldly strife.
We wish many long and merry Christ
mas to the reader, and may youths cup of
life be replete with fullness and plenty, your
happiness unmingled with the bitter dregs
disappointment, and your path be strewn
with the flowers of peace and content.
