EARLY HouRs.--It has been suggest
ed that one of the reforms of society in
which the women clubs can lend power
ful aid, is the observance of early hours
at social gatherings, parties and balls.
At public balls, the season for which is
now commencing, dancing does not be-
gin much before ten o'clock, and conse-
quently the evening is prolonged until
four or FIVE o'clock in the morning.
Hence, on the next day, the participants
in what should be an amusing relaxation,
are entirely nnkt for business, or even for
the lighter tasks of home. Headaches,
general depression and unstrung nerves
are the result of entertainments which be-
come designations. After midnight every
party goer should be at home.-Phila-
dephia Ledger.

For the Bellows Falls Times.
Christmas.

More than eighteen centuries ago tn
infant Jesus was born, in Bethlehem G
Judea. The shepherds on the plains Q
Bethlehem saw the glory of the Lor
shining round about them, and the her
aid angel informed them of what ha'
occurred in Bethlehem, and choir o
celestial beings shouted "Glory to Coo
in the highest, on earth peace, and goo'
will toward men," Such an Inaugural
hymn was never sung before. Tha
which seems so humble and lowly to tn,
eye of mere sense, is the sublimest thing
this world ever saw. The manger fol-
once, has more glory than the palace
Three times Gabriel suspended his song
in the skies, and descended to earth, to
bring messages in reference to this glorl-
GUS event. That little sleeping child was
the most mysterious being that ever came
to earth the greatest benefactor that
ever lived the kindest friend that pow
erty ever knew, and the wisest teacher
that ever spake. The history of facts
gathering round the child of Bethlehem
is most wonderful and sublime. The
mightiest potentates that have swayed
the destiny of nations can claim no such
signs of coming greatness. His residence
is in the little village of Nazereth-there
he spends his childhood, youth and early
manhood. Those social and educational
advantages which usually lay the basis
for splendid achievement do not belong
to his history. All at once he emerges
from his obscurity, and enters upon his
public career. BY what he does and
says he makes himself the wonder of all
ages. This unlettered and unpatronized
Galilean quits the humble vocation of
the artisan and all at once comes forth
in the full-orbed glory of the great
Teacher The record of his public life
seems out of all proportion to the ante
cedents. We instinctively inquire for a
theory by which to adjust these apparent
ly opposite facts. Who trained and ed
ucated this marvellous Teacher? in what
academy did he study? and from what
college did he graduate He derived
nothing from the schools of pagan learn
ing. What then is the solution which
these facts demand There is solution
that makes all clear as the light Of day.
" For in him dwelleth all the fullness OF
the Godhead bodily, God manifest in the
flesh" This brings all the facts of the
problem into perfect harmony. Concede
Jesus to be what he said he was, and
what apostles declared him to be. Then
we understand that the child of Bethle
hem was the Saviour eff the world, the
God man.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room.
And Heaven and Nature sing.

= There is no mistake about it, Plan
tation Bitters will ward off Fever and
Ague and allkindred diseases, if used in
time. No family need suffer from this
distressing complaint if they will keep
Plantation Bitters in the house, and use
according to directions. The most i'm
portant ingredient of this medicine is
Calisaya or Peruvian Bark, which is
known to be the finest and purest tonic
IN the vegetable kingdom. The extract
OF this Bark is the active principle of all
the good Fever and Ague Medicines pre-
scribed by intelligent doctors. Calisava
Bark is used extensively in the manu-
facture of Plantations Bitters, as we'll as
quinine, and we dare say they owe their
popularity mostly to that fact. We can
recommend them.

,ERMs OF THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
GREELEY's HISTORY OF THE WAR.

The Tribune has often been applied to
for copies of MIR Greeley's history of the
late civil war, entitled "The American
Conflict" Many evidently presume that
it is published by US, SO that we can give
copies at pleasure. In several cases
Union soldiers have written us saving
that they were unable to pay its full
price, but were nevertheless anxious to
possess the work, and asking us. to tell
them by what means they may obtain it
In Difference to these representations
the publishers of the Tribune have made
an arrangement with Messrs. o. ID. Case
& Co, publishers of "The American
Conflict" whereby they are enabled to

- The Boston Transcript thinks it
would be good idea to give President
johnson a personal illustration of the
beauties Of his financial theories and pro-
poses that his salary be paid, in trea-
sury bond on interest, due in seventeen
years, with the provision that the inter
est as it accrues be deducted from the
principal, instead of being paid to Mr..
johnson"
A New York World reporter has
recently been purchasing groceries and
provisions of extensive New York re-
tail dealers, and finds they are nearly all
swindling their customers by false weights
and measures, and authorizations are al
so frequent. 1t is estimated that the loss
to consumers, by these means, is fully Is
per cent, and the aggregate ofsuch losses
in the entire city is 100000 annu-
ally.
- AT Rock Creek, on the Pacific
road, host of curiosities have been
found. A small hill is there entirely
composed Of pieces of rock which, when
broken open, are found to contain
petrifactions of the most curious descript-
ions; snakes of all sizes, some straight
ened out Others coiled up; and shells of
every possible kind-oyster, clam, mus
sci, conch, &c

has continued to circulate greater num-
Der of copies than any other newspaper
in the country. We appreciate this con-
fidence, and shall labor to retain it. Its
previous attractions will be continued and
increased The main features of our
Weekly will be agriculture, literature,
politics, and the markets, with the latest
summary Of the daily news. We have
made special arrangements to increase
is usefulness as an agricultural journal.
The Farmers Club will be fully report
ed, and special articles on agricultural
topics contributed by the best WRITER'S
No farmer who desires to till the soil
with profit. and to know the progress
constantly made in the science of his
calling, can afford to neglect the advan-
tages of newspaper like the Weekly
Tribune, especially when it unites with
agriculture other features of interest and
profit. The Weekly Tribune contains
summary of all that appears in the Dali
ly and Semi Weekly editions, while in
addition it is made to address itself to
the wants of the great farming class.
Reviews of all the new publications, and
of all that is new in music and the fine
arts letters from all parts of the world
some of them of rare interest to the
farmer, as showing the progress of agri-
culture in other countries; editorial es-
says on all topics of home and foreign
interest, together with full and carefully
reported reports of the markets, will be
furnished from week to week, and at
lower price than that of any newspaper
in America. By pursuing this policy
the Weekly Tribune has already attain
ed its present commanding influence and
circulation, and we enter upon the new
year with an assurance to our readers
that no pains and no expense will be
spared to give it still greater usefulness
and power, and to make it welcome Wis
itor to every Preside in the land.
The Editor of the Tribune purposes
to write, during the year 1869, an ele-
mentary work on Political Economy,
wherein the policy of Protection to Home
Industry will be explained and vindica-
ted. This work will first be given TO the
public through successive issues of the
Tribune, and will appear in all its edi-
tions-Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly.
We will thank those who think that
the influence of the Tribune conduces to
the profit and well being of the people,
to aid us in extending its circulation.

THE NEW York TRIBUNE.-We pub
fish this week the prospectus of the Neao
York Tribune. Mr.. Greeley's pen must
have been unusually long this year when
he wrote it, or more likely he was feeling
nicely over the prospects of the country,
as it is of unusual length. Much Of it
however is good reading matter and we
let it all go in. The people of Vermont
do not need to be told that all things
considered the Tribune is the best and

They understand that already.

The FAMINE IN ALGERIA.-The fam
Inc in the French colony of Algeria is
accompanied by the most horrible cases
of the sacrifice of human beings to the
ravenous hunger of the survivors. One
incident recalls wildly to mind the ac-
count given in Scriptures of the siege of
Samaria by the King of Syria. Two
women, of the same Arab tribe, HAVING
each child, and being unable to obtain
food from any other source agreed to de-
YOUR the two little ones. Lots were
drawn, and the first victim duly consum-
ed. When it became the turn of the
other mother to surrender her child. she
refused to fulfill her part of the compact,
and the disputes which took place in con-
sequence brought the whole affair TO
light. Again, there are pretty well au-
thentlcated instances in which French
soldiers have been murdered and eaten
by Arabs, who in addition, are constant.
ly attacking each other and the negroes
to procure corpses for food. The French
newspapers are filled with details of these
shocking atrocities, and they declare that
the two millions of francs recently voted
by the legislature is altogether insult
cient to relieve the famine.

DIsGRACEFUL ScENE.-A disgraceful
scene occurred in the House on Saturday
between Mr.. Washburne Of Illinois, and
Mr.. >Donnelly of Iowa. 1t grew out of
letter Washburne had written to one of
Donnelly's constituents, in which he
charged the letter with corruption and
crime. This letter was sent to Donnelly
who caused it to be read to the House,
and then proceeded to attack Mr.. Wash
burnc with the vilest ephithets and
abuse he could command out of the En-
glish language. The scene was then pro-
longed by Mr.. Washburne who replied
in the same manner. Both gentlemen
were repeatedly called to order by the
speaker. There is no mistaking that it
was a disgrace to both gentlemen and to
the House. On Monday the matter was
up again when both gentlemen apologize
ed, or at least were more moderate, and
the House voted committee to investi-
gate the charges brought by Mr.. Wash
burne against Mr.. Donnelly, and then
adjourned.
