CIIRlsTaIAS.-Next Monday is the
tian nations and peoples in honor and
in grateful remembrance of the incar-
nation of the Lord of life and glory.
Nearly eighteen hundred and seventy
two years ago, as the shepherds on the
pains Of Judea were watching their
tlocks by night, suddenly an angel
from Heaven appeared, and the glory
OF God shone about them, and they
were sore afraid. But the angelic
visitant calmed their fears, and filed
them with joy by saying: ''Fear not,
for behold bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people,
for unto you is born this day in tie
city of David u Savior, which is Christ
the Lord They We're then surround
81 by Il quoir of angel choristers from
the eternal world, who chanted in
heavenly strains the mission of sspeace
on earth and good will to men, (which
was thus inaugurated, or fulfilled by
the birth of the Savior. They went
down into Bethlehem and saw the
->l,ild Jesus lying i'll the manager. The
wise men OF the East, too, followed his
staTuntil it rested over where the young
child lay, and then they Went i'll and
made, their offerings of gold, frank
license andmyrrh. The incarnation
ol' the Savior was the life of the peni-
tent believer; His death the salvation
OF the faithful followers; His resurree-
ton the final glori1ication OF His re-
generated people. Though ''low laid
His head with the beasts of the stall, =
though He was n ''man of sorrow and
acquainted with grief was without
form and comeliness, : was s.despised
ard rejected of men, was poor, and
died the death Of a malefactor, lie has
yet been more highly honored, and
His name has been more highly reyer-
"a and loved than that of any earthly
potentate or power that has ever eX-
isted. Three hundred and sixty mil
lions of human beings annually com
inemorate His natal day. Churches
arc thrown opel. for worship; Sabbath
schools erect their Christmas trees
sing their beautiful songs and distrib-
ute their appropriate presents the night
previous. At the home circle on
Christmas eve, the little ones hang up
their stockings for the gifts which
--O!d Santa Claus never fails to give,
or the tree is erected and loaded with
beautiful presents, what parent would
be SO unloving as to deny the little ones
this token of affection p The day IS
devoted to mirth and pleasure, good
dinuers and enjoyment. We hope that
our patrons with their families may
enjoy happy Christmas next week.

of the late rebellion" o, of counsel But he
hasn't Joined the Ku-KluX, as the Journal and
the Portland Adeertiser suppose. He didn't

The Adoertiser makes an unfounded charge

that an establishment which does not hest.

GEN. ALFRED REDINGToN-We notice
with pleasure a correspondence in the Daily
Evening Record, of Sacramento, California
looking to the nomination of Gen. Alfred
Redington as Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of that State.
Gen. Redington was formerly well known
in this State, as one of the most uncompro-
missing Democrats. He held the office of Ad-
jutant General of the State under Gov. Fair
field; but his aspirations were always
for business rather than for Office. One Of
the most pure-minded of men. courteous
courageous sometimes almost to a fault
with natural gifts of a hghssorder sharpened
by hard and varied experience, he was most
remarkable for never letting on opportunity
slip TO oblge friend.
The course the greater part of his former
political friends took in the late rebellion
quite disguised the general with what he was
no longer willing to call the Democracy, and
he then, in public speech, which we remem.
Der to have seen printed in pamphlet, I'M
hesitatiagy avowed himself as no Democrat
on the new basis.
The Generals letter to some friends who
ask leave to use his name at tie coming con
vention, is model for persons in like circum
stances. We are tempted to copy the whole
OF it, but content ourselves with an extract
"ln all my responses" he says, "to letters up.
