A CHRISTMAS SERNuG. G.-Another year is
accomplished, and we welcome the merry
Christmas upon the threshold Of the future.
1t seems sort of paradox that SO radiant
a holiday should come out of the gloomiest
season of the year. The crisp wind, the
frozen earth and the trees in their drapery
of frost are the Indispensable and endeared
accompaniments of the merry Christmas
and the happy New Year to those who look
back upon ancestral roofs in the States of
the North and West. They kindle emo.
tions in the heart and call up remcmbrances
of much that is pleasant and of a little,
perhaps, that is sad. And this Christmas.
saerel to the Christian world by the great
event it celebrates, is made doubly so by its
hallowed associations and touching memo.
ries. If time may be likened to a place,
it is the Mecca of our lives at whose shrines
the insdel and the believer bow. Its home.
IL customs are precious and its traditions
are sacred. There is no hypocrisy in its
games, It's festivals, its mirth and jollity.-
These are the devotional exercises that come
from the depths of nature.
We, who prepare for the advent of Santa
Claus, are reminded of those who taught
us of the mythical monarch. We see the
stockings that hung in the chimney corners
of The dead past aud listen to the merry bells
of the long ago.
On such day the accusing events of cur
lives summon us to judgment upon ourselves
The sOrrows that we have laid upon others
and the wounds heedlessly bestowed, make
our own breasts ache little and teach us
srill more of that worst learned lesson of the
heart-Charity.

Rush Island, three miles below here,
is in curious fix. 1t is wi;hou; the iu-
risdiction Of any State law. When the
Territory of ksasas was orgsnizsl, the
middle of the main chsnnel of the Mis-
souri, River was designated as the eastern
boundary. The channel was then on the
east side of the Island. The land is re.
corded and assessed in Doniphan Coun.
ty, and the men have voted here; ou,
the dispensers of law are bothered over
it. Several years ago. the channel shift
ed to the west side OF the Island, leaving
a dry bed on the east side. except 10 time
of high water. The denizsus cannot get
a hearing before Missouri magistrates,
because the latter contend that tue Island
is in Kansas and Kansas magistrates
fear that they may get themselves into
trouble If they interfere. because the M ain
channel of the river is between Kansas
and the Island. And il the authorities
on either side uniertske O case from that
locality. and continuance is bad, there
is no telling but that freshet may come
in the meantime. and change the channel
of the river again. throwing the Island
into smother Jurisdiction. So that re-
gion rem aims withou, law or gospel-for
