this is well-since these festal seasons are
a wholesome break in the weary monotony
of every day existence, atfording All occa-

tend to awaken fond remembrance, and
to keep alive social feeling. Christmas is

The Slaves Vision.

TIL sun was sinking in the western sky,
holy hush was over earth and air.
The evening star lfepe'd her languid eye.
Nature seemed kneeling at her evening prayer.
The purple sunset clouds that hid he west
from view,
Were scanned with bars OF hight that let the ra-
dience through.
Upon the battle field, the carnage stayed,
flushed were the echoes of the booming gun;
The loyal banner on the breeze that played,
Showed that the iigh; the victory had won.
Back rolled The elot,ds that hid The west from
sight,
And downward flowed Il food Of golden light.
Itfell upona dusky upturncd face,
With frgercd brow, ard features racked with
pain,
Who gave life gladly, if his oppressed race
gain.
Ard through the growing stiffness Of the
evening air,
Uprose with gentle murmuriug sound, Lis dy-
ing prayer.
Father thank Thee, Thou has brought to
me,
After weary life, time ofrcst,
But can seek no e among the free,
knowing that still my kindred are oppressed
That still my loved ones may be bought and
sold,
To satisfy traitors love Of gold. -
Although his Voice seemed fainter. and more
slow,
lie heard a rush of wings at!own the blue,
An angel form stood near him Whispering
low:
"Fear not ,hy God hath not forgotten thee
lie Wa .hes DER thy race, 1t ShaU he free!
Over the eastern hills slow crept the dawn
flashed toward the zenith rays of golden light
What rocked those soldiers hast'ning in th'
morn,
OF the angelic vision of the night
They only found beneath a sheitering tree,
The body Of a slave, the som was free.
The day was ushered in with sounds of strife
And shouts and groans and mornings filled the
air,
But ev'ry soldier that laid down his life.
Helped bring al answer to that dying prayer
For by the blood Of heroes, sword ;,1id fame
The grand fulfIlmsnt Of the promise came.
