MusoA1INE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
We would call the attention of our readers
to the meeting of the Muscatine County Agri-
cultural Society to be held at the Court
House, next Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. N.
That meeting is one which all members
should attend. We are candidly informed
that the attendance generally is very small.
This is not as it should be. We know of no
reason why this county cannot have Fair
that will be looked forward to with as much
interest as that Of our neighbor, Scott Then,
we say, let all members turn out, for on this
meeting depends, in great measure, the
success of the next Fair.

CHRIsTAAs We fear the present genera
ton is fast forgetting the many pleasant
customs with which our fathers and fathers
fathers were wont to spend the anniversary
of Christ's birth. 1t was formerly held almost
sacred, as q day of rejoicing and merry
making. Children counted the hours, almost,
from one Christmas eve to another, when
their good friend and patron Saint, "Santa
Claus" trooped down the chimney, loaded
with presents for his little friends. Older
ones looked forward to the day as one of social
family reunions, when the broken circle
once more united around the Christmas board,
and danced together under the mistletoe in the
EVENINGS a time when feuds were 10 be
forgotten, and differences reconciled-when
acts of charity were to be performed: the
sick soothed, the poor relieved, and other
Christian deeds done in honor and for the
glory of Him who. when on earth went about
doing good. How different now To be
sure, some families still keep up the old Gus.
TOMS But Young America is apt to look
upon them as not exactly the thing, rather
slow, you know, &c. His idea of a glorious
celebration is founded on huge punch bowl,
jolly companions, and "a night Of it," on
Christmas Eve, fast horse. pretty woman
and good sleighing Christmas day, ending
with public ball at night-seeing but little
Of, and caring less for, bis home, or how the
remainder of the family may be spending the
day. The poor and helpless are left to take
care of themselves as best they may, whilst
he gives no thought to the day, or the cause
of its origin.
The only observable difference between
Christmas and other days, in this city, was
that it was much duller. Religious services
were held at the Catholic and Episcopal
Churches, both of which were tastefully
trimmed with ev9greens. With these ex-
ceptions the day went by as usual, stores were
opened and business transacted merchants
and Others went about their usual avocations
nor thought of the day except in connection
with their turkey dinners. Presents were
given and few children made happy, but
even they seemed to feel the chilling effects
Of an appreciation of the day by their elders,
and wore subdued look Oh for a return
Of the good old times when Christmas was
really a joyous1zy, celebrated, as it deserved
to be, in innocent pleasures and with acts of
goodness.

Of cooking apples extant. 1t also presents
