TEE GERMAN ELEMENT IN AMRRICA.-A
correspondent of the London AtheRosuBl, re-
grets the tendency of the Germans in our
country to form separate nationality in
the midst of the great Anglo Saxon stock,
and to maintain their own language. He
finds that there are twenty seven German
periodicals in the United States, and he
quotes from Stuttgard publication a pas
sage showing that the German glory in this
tendency 10 isolation in foreign iaud, and
that they claim the honor of Germanizing
the Americans in the important matter of
meerschaum pipes aud lager. beer. ..
Hereupon the correspondent of the AthsR-
oum observes that, 'if, for the sake of pre-
serving one nationality, whether German,
Welsh or Norwegian, the unity of language
in the great republic, or chain Of republics,
in North America, were ever allowed to be
broken, one Of the great foundations of a
hope for the superior civilization of the
future would be irrevocably lost 1t is the
wish of all right thinking Europeans, not
merely of Englishmen, that the effect of the
supremacy Of one great language in Chris
tendon should, be fairly tried, and, as the
sffairs of the world now stand, the only
chance Of establishing such supremacy
which exists is for the language of Shake
speaTe and Milton, of Tennyson and Long
fellow

Christmas Eve. but who wsro unavoidsbly
disappointed in obtaining presents sent for.
were delayed in presenting their tree at

the tree. loaded down with gifts we judge
the scholars were not the losers by waiting.
Rsv. Mr.. BISEr introduced Rishop LAY,
who delivered a short but most appropriate
address to-ths scholars who gave strict at

After singing. Mr.. Binet gave out the
