CHRISTMAS. The time locked forward

CHRISTMAS. The time locked forward
to with bright anticpations, by both old and
young, is near at hand. For weeks it has
been wished for by the old ones in view of the
old friends and acquaintances which it brings
together. the fond remembrances that cling
around it, and the plum uddihgs, turkeys
and other delicacies, inscparably connected
with it; by the Juveniles, because of the
cakes, candies, toys, &c, which are, on the
cventfui night preceding, brought by that
mysterious parsonage, with g a broad face and
little round belly" 1t is indeed the festival
Of the year, to all, old and young. 1t is also,
the greatest Of all religious celebrations;
though it is no longer celebrated, as of old,
by magnificent shows, games, butfoonery and
drunken and noisy revels, it is better honored.
From thousands of churches a II over the land
prayers and songs Of praise and Thanksgiving
ascend; long and widely separated families
are reunited; the Christmas tree, the source
of so much juvenile establishment and joy, is
raised; gifts are exchanged; in fact, it brings
'speace and good will " almost everywhere.
Almost, we said yes, for there are every
where, more or less OF those to whom Christ
mas seldom comes-the Poor. Let those
who have been blessed. with prosperity, and
with sense enough to properly take care of it.
see that their poor neighbors have a Christmas
this year; you will never miss it !; and how
much JOY and happiness, and how many hearts
may be made glad for months to come, by
your bestowal of proper gift on some needy
family! Remember that this day witnessed
the birth of the greatest gift ever received by
fallen man. Let all do what they can to
make all around them happy.
