THE HrATHEN cH1NEE.

After all, the grandiose clustering of
the Northern people, and fierce resolu-
tons of Trades Unions against pig-tail
John, their love OF money has blinded
their Christian Indignation, for we read
daily of large numbers of heathens from
the Flowery Kingdom finding employ
ment in the frosty North. The howl
against the heather Chinee was only
raised because the South preferred to
employ the celestial wanderer to the ne
gro loafer. This decision was blow
struck at the philanthropic heart Of the
radical North, and consequently cru
SADIE was inaugurated against the poor
heather, whose smile is so child
like and bland; but when the
North has railroad to build or a
shoe-peg to drive, John Chinaman is a
brother and a welcome guest at the
Yankee table The Cinnamon at work
in the Massachusetts shoe factories have
astonished the Christian population OF
that section by subscribing literally to
the heather missions; but John China
man well knows that the missionaries do
very little harm to his peculiar system
of religion. The action of our Northern
neighbors on the heather Chinee ques-
ton reminds us Of the old c. uplet:
when the devil was sick. the devil monk
would be;
But when the devil got we'll, the devil a monk
was he"

Tomorrow the Christian world VIII

is the text of the theologians, and reli-
eious services will be performed with all
the pomp and ceremony of Christianity.
On Monday next little children may re-
ioice and become happy in the midst OF
pyrotechnics as evanescent as youth
itself The mythical and NEUROLOGICAL
"Santa Claus will perform his wonder
full acrobatic feats, and, with a conjuror s
wand fill stockings to repletion. Eigh-
teen hundred and seventy years ago
Christ was born and Christianity set its
seal upon humanity, yet to-day we see
even in our midst crime rampant and
triumphant. In Italy the head OF a
Christian church deemed, infallible, has
succumbed to the temporal power OF
Victor Emanuel, and is Invested OF half
his influence. Sceptical Germany runs
riot through Catholic France, and sows
broadcast the seeds of metaphysical
doubt. Christianity teaches peace; but
we cultivate the science of war, apd to-
day the world is convulsed with a
ferocious and bloody contest OF stipend
GUS magnitude Verify, this is an nm
christian world. In our own land we
have peace; peace which we hope may
last forever. True, we have political
troubles, and many of our people labor
under disabilities as unjust as they
are CALLING, but these relics OF
hate and barbarism will gradually pass
away, and the South will stand redeemed
and regenerated before the world, and
advance rapidly on the career of great
ness which is part of her destiny. This
is Christmas Eve, and we know of moth
ing better than to wish each reader of

in the language of poor old Rip,
Here's to you and your families; may
