The Worlds Birthday.

Christmas is the worlds birthday. Ii is
meet, then, that we should be merry aud glad.
1t is no mere secular holiday but holy day
in the deepest sense of the word. II was
then, a birthday, and it should be remembered
as such and the older we grow the more We
should keep il in the sober way that men re-
member their birthdays. The birth of a very
little child is kept in one way, that of the
heir approaching manhood in another way.
As christendom is growing older, we may not
keep Christmas in the rude and registering
way of our foreiathers--for what we call
(" old England was, in reality, young Eng
land" The ninth century and the nineteenth
are as unlike as a child of nine and a youth
of nineteen. The way that " merry Eng
land kept Christmas was right, as far as il
went, though it would be mawkish sentiment
alism for us to pretend 10 be merry in the
same way. Ii would be travestie absurd
as that of poor Mr.. Titwilow going to fancy
ball in the doublet aud pinked hose of cav
alier. Let us, then, keep nineteenth-cen.
tury Chrstmas--not a mere millner's revival
Of the Christmas of the middle ages. Let il
be national holiday, as it always has been
but one abreast of the age, not mere masque
of the past. We have only to open our eyes
and our hearts, we should add, as wel-ip
order to do So 1t is well that Christmas falli
in midwinter, for it calls out the charities OF
the season, as well as the compliments. Tn,
compliments of the season are good enough
for rich kinsfolk and acquaintaDces bat the
charities of the season should be paid for il
good current coin of the realm, and in thai
which is better than coin---in the golden deed

TIDE MARKS.

1t was low tide when we went down to
Bristol and the great gray rocks stood up,
bare and grim, above the water but high up,
on all their sides, was black line that seemed
hardly dry, though it was far above the water.
What makes that black mark on the
rocks?" asked of my friend
90, that is the tide mark,H she replied.
" Every day, when the tide comes in, the wa
ter rises and rises, until it reaches that line,
and in great many years it has worn away
the stone until the mark is cut into the rock /"
90" thought |, " that is all, isit? Well,
| have seen great many people that carried
tide marks on their faces Right in front OF
me was pretty little girl with delicate iea-
lures, and pleasant blue eyes. But she had
some queer little marks on her forehead, and
| wondered how they came to be there until
presently her mother said, Shut down the
blind now, Carrie, the sun shines right in
baby's face"
:" | want to look out, said Carrie, in a very
peeyish voice.
But her mother insisted, and Carrie shut
the blind, and turned her face away from the
window. q dear me what face it was
The blue eyes were full of frowns instead OF
smiles, the pleasant lips We're drawn up in AT
ugly pout, and the queer little marks on tn,
forehead had deepened into actual ,cyinkles.

you will feel when you grow up, to have YOU
face marked all over with the tide marks o
passion" for these evil tempers leave theii
marks just as surely as the ocean does, and
have seen many face stamped so deeply
with self-wll and covetousness that it mus

A Hind0O Fairy Legend.

THE Sun AND MOON DINING ouT.
One day the sun the Moon and the Wind
went out to dine with their uncle aud aunt,
the Thunder and Lightning Their mother,
Zone of the most distant stars you see far up
in the sky,) waited alone for her children's
return.
Now both the Sun and the Wind were
greedy and selfish. They enjoyed the great
feast that had been prepared for them, with
out thought of saving any of it to take
home to their mother-but the gentle Moon
did not forget her. OF every dainty dish
that was brought round, she placed small
portion under one of her beautiful long finger
nails, that the Star might also have share
in the treat.
On their return, their mother, who had
kept watch for them all night long with her
little bright eye, said, d" "Well, children, what
have you brought home for me2" Then the
Sun (who was the oldesi) said, / have
brought nothing home for you. went out
to enjoy myself with my friends-not to fetch
dinner for my mother % And the Wind
said, Neither have brought anything home
for you, mother You could hardly expect
me to bring collection of good things for
You when | went out merely for my own
pleasure" But the Moon said, ' Mother
fetch plate, see what have brought you.
Aud shaking her hands she showered down
such a choice dinner as never was seen before
Then the Star turned to the sun and spoke
thus, " Because you went out to amuse your
self with your friends, and ieasted and enjoyed
yourself, without any thought of your mother
at home-you shall be cursed Henceiortl
your rays shall be ever hot and scorchng, anC
shall burn all that they touch. And mel
shall hate you, aud cover their heads wher
you appear"
(And that is why the Sun is so hot to thi'
day.
Then she turned to the Wind and said
You also forgot your mother in the mlds
of your selfish pleasures-hear your doom
You shall always blow in the hot dry weather
and shall parch and shrivel all living things
/ And men shall detest aud avoid you from thi
very time
(And that is why the Wind in the ho
weather is still 80 disgreeable.)
But to the Moon she said, Daughter, be
cause you remembered your mother, aud KEEP
for her share in your own enjoyment, from
heneeforth you shall be ever cool, and ealn
and bright. No noxious glare shall accom-
pany your pure rays, aud men shall Away
call you blessed"
(And that is why the Moons light il 81
soft, aud cool, and beautiful, even to this day.

A Political ReminiScence.

The New York correspondent of the Boston
journal gives the following account of the
origin of the famous "Wilmot Proyiso."
The subsequent history of the origiuators Of
that celebrated measure, which proved the
entering wedge to the total destruction Of
slavery, furnishes striking evidence that men
change, while principles do not.
I'm lS47 political club met at the corn
err of Eighth street and Broadway to partake
Of weekly dinner There were present
Samuel j. Tilden, John Van Buren, John A.
Kennedy, Isaac Fowler, Andrew III. Greene
and other well known New York politicians
They were the Bamburners of New York
the Free-soil Demoerats-and the purpose of
the club was to prohibit the extension of slav-
cry in the Territories. Among the guests at
the meeting referred TO was Mr.. Howe, a
Western Member of Congress His purpose
b. visiting New York was to get counsel from
the friends of freedom, how to head off the
pro-slavery Democrats in Congress. Mr..
Van Buren, suggested that the protest which
the friends Of freedom in Congress proposed
TO introduce was not worded right 1t should
w III tut ldiiHudkt nl dtUtfSOn III tue famous
Ordinaee of 's3 and 'S7. The protest was
drawn up, using the words of Jefferson, Mr..
gilden being the chief organizer of the matter.
The plan was agreed upon that the sixteen or
Eighteen Free-soilers in the House should
each have copy of the resolution in his
pocket Mr.. Howe said that the Speaker
would not give the floor to any Of the friends
of freedom, and in order to get the protest
before the House ruSe would have to be
played 1t was agreed that sixteen or eight
teen should spring to the floor at once, shout
ing Mr.. Speaker" and it was probable that
one of them would be recognized The plan
was.succcssful The Speaker gave the floor
to Judge Wilmot as the most moderate of the
crowd claiming attention. and 80 the famous
Wilmot Provso was spread on the journals
oi the House. Mr.. Tlden went ON to Con-
gress with Mr.. Howe to engineer the matter
through aud BY his adroitness the plan sue
ceeded. Mr.. Tiden, Mr. Waterbury and
some of the members of that club are now
the bittcrest Copperheads of the city and
Were during the war. They are fierce in
their denunciation of the T" Radicals" by
whose untimely meddling with slavery the
South was thrown into rebellion, yet these
gentlemen themselves were originators of the
agitation which sealed the doom of that pc
3 culiar institution" of which they are tn,
chief mourners in the North"
