l,HRISTMAS.

Before again our paper greets the smil-
ing faces of its many readers, another
twelve month will have been noted in
times fast filling registry. They will have
heard the last strains from the Harp of
the North" signing most plaintively
around their happy homes in memory of
their friend entombed in the charnel
house of years. The festivities that MEM
orize a closing year are not unalloyed with
sad feelings. We regret to see the clay
falling on his scorpse, and naturally we
wish that there we're no snow upon his
brow, but his head was embossed with eter-
nal sunshine. We know he is robbing us
Of our allotted time, and his successors
will faithfully perform the last mission Of
his dying moments, and bring US nearer to
the shades of the sepulcherd repose in
stinctively we 80 much dread.
But in the whirl of joy and mirth, we
succeed partially to forget that time has
an hour glass and scythe-one to measure
the allotment of our feeting days-and
the other with remorseless steel to smite
as the grass when the fall of the last grain
of sand gives the silent command that
with us life's ftful fever must be over
A broad expansion of heart, emotions and
feeling springs from the forgiving inspira-
ton of the sacred day. 1t seems that a
message of tenderness and love flashes
along the telegraph of ages from Bethle-
hem's Manger and Calyary's Cross, to the
station of the present, that electrifes uni
yersal humanity.
We should be grateful for the past
The song of the Morning Stars should be
glad symphonies to exalt our nature and
the glory shed by the guiding Star of the
East should forever implant in our souls
the deepest gratitude. 1t heralded the
Messiah. 1t s~prinkled the earth with
light and shed upon it the radiance of re-
demption. That was eighteen hundred
and seventy years ago, and up to the pres
ent. year adding to year concurrent testi-
mony of the great sacrifice, sufferings and
death of the Goldman for our fallen race,
in the temple of the Great L Am, we
should bow with reverential awe. We
have now the present. No dire pestilence
broods over the land. The shadow we are
under is only the shadow of the cloud that
rises from our own hearts. The grain lies
in golden richness in our granaries. The
~cornucopia of plenty is pendent over our
heads. No waste place begrims our land
no sword of universal vengeance flashes
its blade-our plains no longer tremble
and our mountains shake with the thun-
ders of the cannon. The wal eagles no
longer shrek their cries for blood, but the
olive branch of peace has entwined its ten
drills around all hearts. The grim battal-
lions of battle have become the meek-coun-
tenanced messengers of peace. A beauti-
full bow of promise spans the heavens and
all the leaden clouds of the past are in the
deep ocean buried. We nave caught the
melodies that flooded the plains of Bethle-
hem on that night when the Magi travers-
ed their dark measures, and then let us
have a merry Christmas, and let it be a
time of universal joy, praise and gratitude.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.
New Cotton Gin.
[St. Louis Dispatch, May 81

[st. Louis Dispatch, May 81
Among the recent inventions connect
ed with the culture of cotton, none are
more important than the new separating
cotton gin, invented and patented by the
late John GpPages 1t is great i'm
provement upon the original cotton gin,
in that it cleans and separates She hulls
and trash from the cottoe in a more tho
rough manner. In field operations it
saves 300 per cent of annual labor, and
the work on 90 acres would annually
save the prisS of machine.
The cottsn gin has hithefto remained
substansally as Whitney left it, with no
provision for separating the cotton from
the investing portions Of the boil or from
other trash or dirt. Consequently, the
slow and tedious process Of carefully
picking the cotton from the boil, and
perfectly free from leaf or hull. has had
to be resorted to. The amspnt of labor
that it requires to thus pick cotton has
no parallel in any other branch Of agri-
culture. Again, if any leaf or trash goes
into the ordinary gin with the seed cot
ton, it comes out with the lint, and much
of it even goes into the cloth into which
it is manufactured. But this gin firstly
clears the cotton perfectly, and then
strips the lint from the SEED. It is an en-
tire reconstruction of the Whitney gin,
with entirely different CRATES, different
brush, and is fed differently, being COM
bined with armed cylinders SO arranged
that the bolls and seed cotton are sepa.
rated and the latter forced forward
against strong currents of an to the
saws, the leaves and small trash being
blown out through CRATES and the hulls
discharged through an opening under
the saw cylinder. The inventor has
studied to Noduee machine that would
subserve ths interests of cotton planters
as much as Che grain separator does the
grain farmer, that would enable them to
dispense with the ordinary slow and te-
dous process of picking cotton, and to
gather and store their cotton crops in the
most expeditions and least expensive
manner possible, either in the boil Or
otherwise, by hand Or machinery, and
then at their leisure to clean, and gin it.
