Dickens's Christmas Carol.

There is not, in all literature, a
book more thoroughly saturated with
the spirit of its subject than Diekens's
aChristmas. Carol" aud there is no
book about Christmas that can be
counted its peer. To follow old
ScrOoge through the ordeal of loving
discipline whereby the ghosts arouse
his heart, is to be warmed in every
fibre Of mind and body with the gem
tie, bountiful, ardent, af5ectionate
Christmas glow. Read at any season
of the year, this genial story never
fails to quicken the impulses Of tender
and thoughtful charity. Read at the
season Of the Christian festival, its
pure, ennObling influence is felt to be
stronger and sweeter than ever. AS
you turn its magical pages, you hear
the midnight moaning Of the winter
wind, the soft rustic of the falling
snow, the rattle of the hail on the max
ed branch and windeW-pa pane, and the
far-Off tumult of the tempest-smitten
seas; but also there comes a vision of
snug and cossy rooms, close curtained
from night and STORM, wherein the
lights burn brightly, and the sound Of
merry music mingles with the sound
Of merFier laughter and all is warmth
and kindness and happy content, and
looking on these pictures, you feel the
full reality of cold and want and sor-
row, as contasted with warmth and
comfort, and recognize anew the sa-
cred duty of striving, by all possible
means, to give to every human being
a cheerful home and a happy freside.
The sanctity Of that duty is the moral
Of Christmas, and of the "Christmas
Carol" That such a book should
find an enduring place in the affee-
tionate admiration of mankind, is an
inevitable result of the highest moral
and mental excellence. Conceived in
a mood Of large human sympathy,
and expressed in a delicate faneiful
yet admirably simple form of. art, it
addresses alike the unIettered and the
cultivated, it touches the humblest as
well as the highest order of mind, and
it satisfies every rational standard of
taste. So truly is this work an inspi-
ratien, that the thought about its art
is always an afterthOught. So faith
fully and entirely does it give voice
to the universal Christmas sentiment,
that it seems the perfect reflex of every
readers ideas and feelings thereupon
There are a few other books of this
kind in the world, lin which Genius
does. at once and forever, what amb-
ling Talent had always been vainly
trying to do,-and these make up the
small body of literature which is "for
all time" - From the Atlantic
Monthly for December.

The Portsmouth Republican saws !:

The Portsmouth Republican says;
We are sure from what we can
gather from the best sources, that the
loss to the farmers in the Ohio and
SeiotO bottoms, Immediately cOntig-
GUS to our city, from the overflow Of
the Ohio, and the back water in the
Scioto, viii amount to fully $500, 600.
Many farmers will be almost totally
ruined by the loss. This is seemingly
very hard. Many farmers will not
have grain enough to feed their stock
over winter, and their corn was their
whole dependence.

Marrying for Love.

It is pleasant to redect that, amid
all the artifciaIities and snObbishness
of American society, the idea Of mar
rying for money has not been made a
part Of the young lady's education
The conventional novel depicts uni
formly a heroine who resists all the
Establishments Of wealth, and who
turns persistently away from the suit
or with diamond necklaces and many
broad acres, to unite her destiny with
the handsome young fellow with. PEN
.sive eyes and. an empty pocket book.
They go to live with love in a cottage,
and the husband turns Outa genius, at
whom even the man in the moon
chuezs fat purses of gold in very de-
lirium of appreciation. The bloated
-aristocrat of a l0ver, whose gems and
acres could not buy an innocent girls
affections, reveals himself in the role
of an .unmitigated sneak, not to say
villain, and quits life and his riches
in an ignominious manner for a per
.manent seat on Old Nick's favorite
gridiron,
Such is the romantic story which
charms the hearts and receives the
sympathies of more than half the mar
riageable young women in the land.
The fact that such books continue TO
be written, continue to find purchasers,
is evidence that it has not yet become
fashionable for the gentIese to ignore
love as a prime consideration in con-
tracing matrimOny, and substitute
for it something purely mercenary.
Affected and artificial as American
society often is, the cold calculations
of the French system of marriage have
not yet found any substantial or wide
recognition in the family circle. The
idea Of selling a girls first affections
for money, is one so repugnant to the
prevailing public sentiment, that it
would not be avowed even when en-
tertained. Where the instinct of love
is left free to indicate a natural aff1ni-
ty of a person of one sex for a person
of the opposite sex, ill-assorted unions
cannot become the rule. Nor is this
subject, rudimentary, and trivial as it
may appear, beneath the attention of
political economists, for the family ba-
ses the State, and its happiness, ac-
cord and completeness, are elements
of national strength, or, when depre-
ciated by improper organizatioHi Of
national weakness.

Whose fading memories rise between
This and the time when, lODgago.

Prafe as they may Of wiser thought,
OF cooler blood and steadisr brain,
or earnest wisdom, dearly bought
By anxious care aud saddening pain.
In all the years Old Time can bring,
IN all the longest life has seen,
There are no hopes, ne joys, no loves
So sweet as those Of Sweet sixteenl
And though the charm may wear away,
AS roses fade and dews exhale;
Though glessiest locks may turn to gray,
And fairest cheeks grow wan and pale,
Yet who can doubt those dearly loved,
In lands Of mortal eye unseen,
Beyond the stars, shall all regain
The angel lines Of Sweet Sixteen

vices of the American character may be
briefly summed US follows: First, an in

work of the mind and body in the pursuit
of business; third, undue hurry and ex-
element in all the affairs of life; fourth,
intemperance in eating, drinking, and
smoking; fifth, a general disregard Of the
true laws of life and health.
