No faser friends, no truor foes
And does not Dons clara love me?
"Cloaked shapes, a twanging OF Ruitars.
A rush oil fcot, and rap!ers claahing,
Then silence deep with brcatlIless stars,
And overhead white hand flashing.

CER1sTMAs-St. Andrews Church in Marbledale was opened for worship on Christmas Eve. The illuminations and de- corations were in the usual good taste of the Parish. Christmas day was spent in visiting, feasting, and general time of enjoyment In the village, arrangements were made for gathering, and a Christmas tree at the Congregational Church in the evening for the benefit of the Sabbath School and the poor. The house was we'll lighted and handsomely decorated with ev. ergreens, &c. The Christmas tree was large and we'll loaded with large numbe, of articles. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Pastor, singing by the Choir, short address by Mir. Upson, giving a history of the day as 8 Christmas festi. val, distribution of the presents, singing, &c.,. sc. Much praise is due to the Com. mittee that had charge of the matter, fo, their taste, skill, energy. and perseverance in getting it up so nicely for the benefit oi the community The assemblage was large and well gratifed with the entertainment, and broke up in good time to find their way home in darkness that might be felt, as best they could.
 A corps of Engineers of the Boston, Hartford and Erie R. R. Co., are in the west part of the place making further ex. aminations and surveys, with the view to tunneling Bare Hill west of Merry-An.

WEST CORNWALL.

One of the pleasant evenings of life
 time, was enjoyed by those who gathered
 in the Hall in this village on the evening
 of Christmas day to attend Christmas
 Sunday School Festival. Willing hearts
 and busy hands had for some days been at
 work getting ready for the occasion. The
 place of meeting was gaily decorated with
 evergreen wreaths, .festoons and appropri-
 ate notices. A large Christmas Tree bent
 beneath the burden, put upon it, being la den to its utmost and topmost branches,
 while beneath and around it, gifts from the loved and the loving were. also scattered in
 great abundance. A flood of golden light reflected from many burner, was thrown over all, and as we looked into the smiling faces of children and youth, parents and grand parents who crowded the room, and then turned from them to survey all the surroundings which lent their enchantment to the hour, we were led to think that no scene in Fairy Land," was ever more bright, beautiful, or cheerful than this At the appointed time, R.
