Christmas,

The sands of Time have nearly mea-
cured out another annual cycle, and to-
morrow is Christmas. Another great
sign. post on the highway Of life has been
reached; one more leaf ia about to be
turned in the book of our existence the
record is there in the pages OF our his
tory, and it cannot be changed. We may
not erase a line here and put in another
above it; not single leaf may be torn
out and destroyed or letter changed.
The record is made up, and will have
to pass before the bar of con-
science first, and a higher tribunal
afterwerd-perhaps soon. For the future
is sealed, and it is not given unto man to
anticipate moment ahead. The present
only can be claimed. Even the past il
no longer bis own--it has been copied
word for word snd thought for thought,
and sent into the general assizss OF iiie'
The natal day of the Redeemer OF the
world, formerly Christian festival, has
become adsy of rejoicing aud general en-
ioyment, without any severe religious as
pect. All classes look forward to it with
interest and many with pleasure. From
our earliest recollection, away back
when the mile posts ran together and
taper down below the horizon OF
memory, Christmas has been al impor.-
tsnt day. At that tender and impossible
period of life, Santa Claus had an identity
as mucL az the President Of the United
States, the kings and queens OF Europe,
or any other personages. Christmas eve
was filled with visions of jolly old white
headed, good-natured rufiisn, who would
come down the chimney in the night and
gil our stockings. Santa Claus was ca
psbIe of wonders. He could bring q
wagon three feet wide and four feet high
down a Hue of half those dimensions, and
no questions would be csked. He always
took himself eff before day, or before any
one could awaken to see him, and the
mystery attending his nocturnal but
benevolent prowlings increased the value
of his favors. At later dsy the child
learns that old Santa was myth,
but the illusion is too pleasant to
drop, and be in turn finds as much
enjoyment in pRaotioing il on others.
TIE principal business houses of the
city will be closed, and every family and
circle will observe the dsy according to
their own taste. We wish ell our readers
a happy Christmas, and a return OF
many more like it. Peace and plenty
smile on the land, and all can find great
cause to be thankful. Even the lowest
might be worse of, and none have
reached the bottom of the cup of mlstor-
tune. We hope every ore nsy De
stockkolder in fat and steaming Christ
mas turkey, Ganksd By all the minor
s;,Los essential to a Christmas dinner.
s Msv ,bs ,.-nog of Joy be fall and run
niDy ' over rss and sA. ''.f-Giion beam o. on
every face. May the old i've :a' '1s
joys of youth, and the children all tinu
their stockings well filed at this white
mile-pos On their journey. And If you
have 8 surplus of good things, not only
give thanks to the Divine Benefactor,
but send q little of your bounty to your
less fortunate neighbor, and an approx
ing conscience will richly reward the
good act, for it is more blessed to give
than receive.

Mr.. JUKEs-Dear Sir: In reply to
your Inquiry as to the success of the
cooking stove called the Reliance pur-
chased of you, will state that the cost
of fuel for running that stove, compared
to the wood one, is about one.seventh 10
favor of the coal stove. The expense of
the wood stove, with wood at % per cord,
is about fifty cents per day, besides the
cutting, aud the coal stove about eight
cents, as used at my house-my cook
using I coal and 1 coke. The cslcula
ton is made upon coal at 81 10 per
bushel, and coke at IA cents per bushel.
The cooking is done quicker and as well
on the Reliance" as upon the wood
stove. Yours, truly,
l0I GEO. Dixon.

PASSING up Main street, the other day,
our attention was attracted to crowd OF
ladies and others, at the corner OF Main
and Adams streets, gazing ct the fine
display of confectionery in the show
window of B. Rocco's immense estab
lishment. Crossing over we found there
something indeed well worth looking at.
Among them the temple-cake pyramid,
which carried away the blue ribbon at our
late Agricultural Fair. 1t is indeed q
miracle of beauty, aud reflects great
credit upon it's designer aud maker.
Composed, as it is, of minute pieces OF
cake and confectionery which can be
displaced and rearranged without detri-
ment; and, moreover. it is euery bit
satabk. 1t is hanked on either side by
pavilion pyramids, which have just been
completed and placed on exhibition. We
were lost in wonder in contemplating
them. Such beauty of design, so perfect
finish, and then the material of which
they are composed, so fragile in nature.
Passing on into the store, and witnessing
seemingly endless variety and
quantity of cakes, candies, fruits, nuts,
jellies, Christmas toys, etc., etc., We
were still more bewildered in imagining
where and by whom all these things were
made, but this was partly explained to
us on passing into their bakery and
shops III the basement, where cot only
great numbers Of boxes, bales and bar
rels of finished goods are stored, but ore
also manufactured. Everything that can
be made in the confectionery line can
be made here. In summing il oil up,
we are fully convinced that B. Rocco, at
2l6 Maia street, has not only the largest
stock and greatest variety, but that be
sells moro goods and ct fairer prices than
any Of bis competitors in the Southwest
Look in and see the pretty things, and
then buy of one OF his polite salssmen. %
