The old year is fast dying Quits living
realities are for the most part OVERCOME
like the loved ones who have dropped amid
the winter SHOWS Or summer heats into
early or later graves. It lives in memory,
but is gone in reality-and that which was
few months ago living, breathing, acting,
is now but ashes-the ashes of recollections
some sweet bright and beautiful others,
oh, how sorrowful with the weight of tears.
The black horses, with sOmbre plumes,
have stopped at many door their driver,

the young and old, and the coming year
will find by many fireside an empty seat
and mourning hearts to bid him welcome.
But we are getting grave when we should
be gay What though our condition IS not
that which we had hoped, or longed for;
what though the heavy cloud still hangs
over us like a funeral pail, let lis look be-
yond the darkness for the silver lining
which will surely come to tighten up the
gloom which now surrounds us. Christmas
is the time for smiles. not tears Let us
not, therefore, make ourselves m0rose, asce-
tic or uncomfortable by brooding over our
condition. We cannot improveit and, be-
sides, there is great deal Of practical
common sense in promoting seasons Of
Joyous festivity and hearty mirth. We
therefore hope that everybody will erloy
themselves during the ho!ilays-that they
will receive any quantity Of presents and
be very happy. 10 one and all we wish

Christmas.

To-dayis ChIistmas--the season of Joy
and festivity-when childhood. banishing
all petty cares from its heart, runs wild
with delight, and even old age, forgetting
for the while it's greater sorrows, relaxes
the frown upon its brow, and smiles upon
the happiness it has partly caused. To
day is Christmas. Oh who, when youth
and hope beat high within his heart, and
the fresh young blood ran tingling through
his veins, has not felt the indescribable Joy
Of those words. What visions of phlethoric
stockings, hanging by the fireside, and
bursting with treasures from the lavish
hands OF good cid Santa Claus
As to the youth who is just emerging in
to manhood, and though he may swagger
and tell you in q pompous way he is too
big to hang up his stocking, yet many
sad thought has he cast upon the time
which, for linn, is irretrievably gone-nev-
or to return.
Ask the middle aged mainland us he
points with pride to the smiling faces of
his happy children clustering around his
knee, displaying their Christmas prizes
without word, you have his answer. Ask
the old man of eighty years, whose task
finished on earth, is calmly waiting for the
final summons, and he will tell you of a

own off while the proprietor was not no

others, got into the gunboats'' and slump

Charlie Nunn's owl. All right so far. An
other joker, who had witnessed the opera

carefully placed it in the boots that were
left, and then told the proprietor of the
big boots, and who it was that abstractcd
them. He went after the purloiner and
Indignantly demanded that they should be
replaced, as those left didn't contain half
the amount of leather as those taken.
After some parleying, the wearer of the big,
boots came slumping back with them,
shook them off, and unsuspectingly put his
own on, and went out.
A kind friend just then happened to meet
him on the sidewalk, and engaged his at

BIsHop Lynch unexpectedly paid us visit last
Sunday, and preached most eloquent and
learned sermon on the birth of our Saviour in the
forenoon. in st. Thomas Church. His congrega-
ton regretted exceedingly that it was not known
the Bishop would address them. His discourse in
the afternoon was description of his visit to
Rome last June, ON the OCCASION of the celebra-
ton of the 1S0oth anniversary of the martyrdom
of st. Peter. His description of the large gath
ering of the Heads of the Church On that occa-
sion was eloquent as Well as highly interesting.
