CHRISTMAS DAY was very generally
observed in this city, perhaps more gen.
errally than usual.
If the question we're asked, how was
it observed variety of answers could
be given. What Thanksgiving day is
in the East, Christmas day is with us.
1t is day of joyous reunion and good
cheer. Every member of the family
seems to make it point to spend the
day under the parental roof. And even
if there were no other and heller asso-
Citations clustering around the day, 1t
should be observed. No man,-be he
the veriest churl,-can revisit the fam
lily circle, where the happiest hours OF
life glided away almost unconsciously,
without being the better for it. There
is JOY even in looking over familiar
places, to which none are strangers. The
locality may be dark and forbidding in
itself,-gloomy hills or dingy streets,
may be there,-but if it be the place
where we wandered, or strolled, or
transacted business,-itisth the sweetest
spot on earth" to US. But when we
gather around the family board on a
Christmas day-no matter how simple
the fare-the feelings are indescribable.
A remembrance of the blessings of the
year takes possession of US, and we see
them at glance, in all their fullness
and multitude. If the loved one are all
re,-happy, smiling, and radiant
with JOY, parents and children have a
source of pleasure compared with which
riches fade and honors dwindle into
nothing. If one has been called away
from earth, how forcibly we are re-
minded of the fact on these occasions,
and these partings, sad though they be,
may yet he whispering vices alluring us
above the smoke, and toll and tempta-
lions of earth.
Yes, we are ardent advocates for the
observance of Christmas day. 1t is the
worlds gala day. 1t comes to ms with
memories of that glad morn when angels
sang the choral anthem of redeeming
love, and it ought to awaken in us re-
sponsive echoes.
And, as far as our observation goes,
the Christmas that has just passed was
better observed than the day has been
for many years past. There was more
good feeling manifested than usual.
There was less intoxication. This lat
ter fact was the subject of general
comment, all over the city. Business
men ceased to look business, and seemed
to have given up trade and to have de-
voted the day to its legitimate purpose.
The ladies were looking perfectly
happy, and on all hands, at every cor
ner, warm salutations and merry greet
| ings were exchanged.
We wish all our readers enjoyed the
day land hope they may have many happy
returns.
