CHRISTMAS,
To-day will be celebrated throughout the
Christian world rs the solemn anniversary of
Inc birth OF our saVior-with mass and light
ca taper and gorgeous pageant in Italy with
yew boueh and the pleasant gifts Of Knecht
rupert, in Germany; with harp and carol in
Wales; with yulclog and wassail in England ;
ana with gifts and Christmas trees In
this country. It is pleasant custom
that, fnaugurated BY the Wise Men of the
East-the comforting Of gifts, happy inno-
Vation upon the monotony OF this hundrum
life, and an observance that takcs of the
rough edges in our contact mau with man.
There is no reason why Christmas should
not always be merry; there is every reason
why 1t should he merricr than ever with Us IN
this goodly year of grace eighteen hundred
and sixty-tour. It is pre-cminently Ammo
Dominl-the year Of Our Lord. Divine Pro.
yidencc Inns yolchsafed to us deliyerance
from the dangers which have beset Us and has
led us through an ocean Of difficulties to the
dry land Of salvation. The farmer has been
prpspercd in his smiling acres, and the 1nanu-
facturer in the products Of hts shops. Science
and art, in an ungrateful season, have been
nourished, and education, more widely than
ever, has extended It's beneGccnt sway. Re
bellion has met its death blows. Our yacto-
rious arms havc penetrated the very heart Of
the rebel1ious provinces, and our SOL
diers and sailors have maintained the
honor Of the flag t1iumphantly upon
land and upon sea. Grant and Sherman,
Sheridan aud. Butler, Foster and Thomas,
Tarragnt and Porter, Dahlgrcn and lyinslow
arc making the last ca1l to traitors. Our
people arc united and our Government in |
Cabinet and Congress harmonious, while the
rebel cabal is hastening to lis own destruction.
The chains Of the slave are broken, and before |
another Christmas sun shall have dawued |
upon us, universal liberty will he proclaimed
throughout our borders, .'On earth pcace |

for people to assemble there on Christmas
