CHRIsfMAs-We are on the eve of the
greatest festival of the Christian world and
before we again go to press, the Anniver-
sary of the birth of the Redeemer viii have
transpired. We think this fitting occa-
sion to indulge in few reflections on that,
the most important event of the worlds
history.
In these olden times which bordered on
the infancy of the world. when our hrst
parents, alarmed and trembling heard un-
der the majestic shades of Eden the voice
Of the Lord, condenmlng them TO exile, to
labor, and TO death, in punishment OF their
folly and disobedience; Il mysterious predic-
tion i'm which the goodness of the creator
shone out resplendent through the wrath
of an offended Deity, raised the detected
spirits of both these frail creatures, who
like Lucifer, had sinncd through pride. a
dauter of Eve, woman of masculine conr-
age was TO crush under the feet the head OF
the serpent, and the Messiah born of this
woman was to regcncrate forever guilty
race.
TGig consolatory tradition which raised
the hopes of n fallen race, had not been ei-
faced from the memory of man ut the time
of their dispersion over the plains of SEN
naar This consoling though distant hope,
accompanied them over seas and noun
tains, and has been handed down to pos
terity, through various channels. If we
traverse the various regions of the globe
North to South from East to West; If we
open the religious annals of those countries
extending from the land of the Orange-tree
to the burning mountains of the sun. The
traditions of Saviour, born of q virgin
mother, Is at the root of all their theogo-
MES; and the consummation was heralded
by the angelic host to the shepherds who
were watching their llocks on the plains of
Bethlehem in the ever memorable words,
''Fear not, for this day is born TO you Sa-
vior." We hope TO see this the most glo-
rious of all our anniversaries celebrated as
becomes christian people.

The State Department has received a
communication from MIR. Mr.. John Brit
ton, our Consul at Southampton. England.
dated December l. 1865, stating that hav-
ing seen In New York papers an account
of the existence of cholera at that place.
he desired to say that although there had
been few cases of English cholera. re-
sulting from the too free use of bad fruit
and vegetables, there had not been a single
case of Aslatic cholera in the town.
The London Times, he thinks. with its
usual fertile imagination, was the primary
cause of these reports.

meal when grain has been given them in the
morning"
NJ Reaumur made some experiments to
ascertain whether it was better to cook
grain for fowls or to feed it dry He found
that as a general rule fowls prefer boiled
grain to raw, though sometimes they eat
the dry grain in preference. The better
way is to give them cooked food and lit
tie dry grain in addition. He found more
advantage in cooking Indian corn than any
other grain
The editor of the Farmers Journal men
tions an experiment which is directly to the
point He says
1--WE had lot which were supplied with
grain, water and gravel, inthe cold season.
They did not lay till the latter part of Feb
ruary-they were old hens. The next win
ter, III addition to grain, we gave them
warm food of potatoes, meal, &c, a fresh
lot of gravel every week, and pounded
bones and oyster shells, and care was taken
to keep the hen-house clean. In January,
the second winter, the same hens laid abun-
dainty. The eggs We're worth three times
as much as the food consumed
Keep hens warm and clean, with plenty
of food and an occasional scrap of meat,

" THE DESTRUCTION OF THE POOR IS
THEIR POVERTY"

How true this is in agricultural. Many
farmers have not capital enough to CON
struct even sheds for their cattle and sheep,
and the result is that they lose nearly half
the benefit of the food They are to poor to
be economical How few farmers have
properly arranged buildings, and they have
to do all their work at arms length. was
reading an article the other day from cor
respondent of the Irish Farmers Gazette,
complaining of the action of the banks in
not loaning money to farmers for longer
period than three months. tie thOug mt that
rs farmers were the mainstay of the coun-
try, and that as anything which injured
them injured all other classes, this want of
discrimination on the part of the banks was
one reason why Ireland did not keep pace
with England and Scotland in agricultural
and national prosperity. Be this rs it may,
there can be no doubt that the want Of cap
ital is serious impcdiment to agricultural
improvements.
High as every thing is, there can be lit
tie doubt that it will still pay to spend
more money in farming. ! would not spend
it in building if it could be avoided, but III
working the land more thoroughly and in
draining and manuring. 1t seems to me
that the capital of the country is being
rapidly withdrawn from. agricultural and
other productive operations. The gold-in-
terest-bearing Government bonds, with the
present premium on gold, pay IA per cent,
and besides are tax free. No ordinary busi-
ness can pay such a rate Of interest, to
say nothing of the heavy taxes. 1t is no
wonder therefore, that capital is leaving
the farm and the workshop, and that those
who take comprehensive view of the
matter are becoming alarmed. One thing
seems certain those farmers who have
capital to spare or who can command it,
would do we'll to expend it in judicious i'm
provements on their farms rather than to en-
gage in outside speculations.
There is a widespread conviction that
farming does not pay" Hitherto it has
not been a very lucrative business, though
the returns have been sure. If | mistake
not good farming will for few years to
come be more profitable than ever before
The very fact that SO much capital is being
diverted from agriculture, vii insure bet
ter returns to those who have sufficient con,
fidencc to invest their money in improving
their farms.
