CHRIS TN AS,

Yesterday was the anniversary of
the day which gave to the Christian
world Saviour. OF its religious inhu-
ences it is not our province now to
speak-of its social associations we
would say few words. Our less
matter-of-fact ancestors regarded
Christmas as u season peculiarly So
cred-hallowod with especial grace.
They thought that all evils conflicting
with divine love and supreme goodness
were for the time warded OFF or sus-
pended, and for twelve days the early
church-bcll rang, the yulelog burned
on the cheerful hearth, and the wassail
cup was generously passed round from
the Baron to the beggar. But times
have changed, and with them Christmas
festivities - Christmas observances.
Still, despite the obiiterating chemical
action of time, enough of the leaven
OF ancient Christmas usagcs remains
among us to make us hail its advent
welcome its approach. Even with us
of the present day it is time of
more than ordinary fcstivity - of
unusual social enjoyment.
Even those whose heads have become
silvored by age look to Christmas
as the time meet for n happy family
re-union,-when all-grand,sire and
grand-child-matron and nnid-con-
grogate ut the ancient homestead,
rekindle the slumboring fires of kin
dred affection, and comminglc in the
festivities of the time. The student
or school boy onxiously look to the
coming of Christmas as season which
will omancipate him from the mental
drudSory OF his books, the despotism
The Carrollton sun. (City of Carrollton, Parish of Jefferson, La.) 185?-1???, 1860-12-26

of his teacher or tutor, and secure him
q passport to the parental roof, to the
caresses of fond parents and the
society of estranged Brothers and
sisters, sole playmates of his earlier
years. But it is the young children
who look upon Christmas with spe-
cies of romantic delight in which the
ideal is literally blended with the real,
and the imaginary muniicence of
Santa Claus tremendously mingles in
their minds with presents of pretty
picture books, miniature guns, confeots
and curisoities.
Christmas is indeed a harmonizing
timo. A peryading hospitality springs
up-the asperities of mems nature
become softened down and assaaged-
man looks on his less fortunate fellow
with sympathy springing from kin
dred natures. Poverty, instead of
being scowled on'by wealth, is comfort
ed by generous succor; and nature
kind, generous, benevolent nature
divesting itself as much as possible of
the sel6shly artificial restraints thrown
around it by society, shows itself in its
primitive and most beautiful phase.
We trust that all have enjoyed as
becomes them the hilarities of the
Christmas Day just passed, making
merry and happy themselves, and
contributing to and increasing, in as
great degree as their sphere Of action
would permit, the happiness of others.

lon@er bounded to meer&m. Sitting
on the stairs were littldgSby and girl,
of the ages of five and six years. AS
he advanced along the passage, they
neither stirred, nor spoke, nor smiled,
though their eyes were fixed on his
face. Mr.. Hickman stood still when
he came near to where they were sit

feeling of tenderness in his heart. lie
held out hand to each, and each laid
q hand in his, but with an air of doubt
us to whether his condescension on
the part Of their father was to be &C
copied as token of love. A moment
he stood holding their hands, then
STOPPING, he drew an arm around each
and lifted them to his breast.
Hasn't Eddie kiss for pa!' said
Z Mr.. Hickman, with so much warmth IN
his voice that the little girl now under
stood that all was earnest.
Yes, a hundred kisses y answered
Eddie, finging her arms around her
fathers neck, and kissing him over and
over again in childish fondness.
At the head of the first landing,
opened the sitting room. Into this MIR.
Hickman came with the two children in
his arms; both Of them hugging and
kis ing him in wild, happy way.
Bless me! what's the meaning of all
this?' exclaimed Mrs. Hickman, rising
and coming forward, her face a-glow
with sudden pleasure at sight and
sound SO new, yet all welcome to her
heart.

said Mr.. Hickman, laughing and strug-
CLING with the children.
sHe asked me for one kiss cried
Eddie, and I'm going to give him a
hundred
Mr.. Hickman sat down with child
on each knee, and Mrs. Hickman came
and stood by him, with a hand resting
on his shoulder.
sOh, you must kiss him. said Eddie,
looking up at her mother.
Mrs. Hickman did not wait for a
second invitation.
The old pleasant face of her husband
was again before her, and her heart was
feaping with the old lowing impulses.
She bent down and leid warm kiss on
his lips, which he felt as sweet glow
through all his being.
That was an evening long to be
remembered in the household of Mr..
Hickman. He had caught II sunbeam
and brought it home with him, and light
and warmth were all around him. All
were happy, and Mr.. Hickman The
happiest of them all, for he had the
sweet consciousness in his heart Of
having made another and humber
home than this happy also.

strange coincidence if the same year
should witness the accomplishment of
Italian unity under a constitutional
monarchy and the disruption ofaa faI

velop those harsher and vulgar qualities,
which too often appear in the Anglo
Saxon character! We dare not say
that tho experiment is yet completes
Two generations have amply satf;ceds
to confirm and transcend the experience
of antiquity as to the expansive eilers
gies of a democracy but its capability
of cohesion still remains open to-
question. AT crisis like the present
the centrifugal force, if we are to take
the southerners at. their word. The
proud tradition of the great western re-
public, the ties of laws, language, re-
ligion, and national charac ter, the die
tates of higher and more comprehen-
sive self-interest, and the respect of
European powers are to be cast to the
winds when they conflict with local
prejudicos and the salaries of class
of gentlemen who took their appoint
ments subject to this uncertainty. The
enemies of democracy have always as
oeption of a great national idea, and
that, for want of this vivifying princi-
pie, it carries in itself the germ of its
own decay. x
We are far from considering the pro-
ceedings adopted in South Carolia and
Georgia as reversible, or taking it for
granted that they will be initiated by
other cotton-growing states, much less
by those which, though nominally
southern, have natural aftinities with the
north. Even the Governor of Georgia
though he recommends the imposition
of prohbitory duties on imports from
the north, the ''repcal of all parts OF the
penal and civil code protecting the
lives, liberties and properties of the
citizens of the states whore unfriendly
laws exist" and other mad and revolu-
tionary fneasurcs, shrinks from the re-
sponsibility of sending delegates to
southern convention.
That great social question, which in
spires an interest immcnsurably more
intense and absorbing than all the poll
teal watchwords of Europe, has atwo-
folds bearing on the present crisis, and
if it furnishes motive in favor of
secession, it furnishes moro overpow-
oring motive against it cd.

tions that may be drowned in the pas
sions of the hour, but which will, we
still believe, assert themselves as the
movement becomes more regular and
orderly.
Of one thing the Americans may be
well assured, that The character and
prestige Of the sereraI United States en-
the eyes Of Europe depend on their Fede-
