HOLIDAY NUMBER.-From time i'm
memorial it has been the aim of publis h.
ers of magazines and illustrated litera-
ture to make the Christmas number sur
pass all others Of the year. Being Chris
tian (by name if not by nature) we could
not find it in our heart of hearts to labor
on Christmas day and an overloaded
stomach ; consequently the average read
er Of the WEEKLY TRINITY JOURNAL,
only S. year and no objection made to
receiving the amount in advance, will
not be able this week to feast his lovely
eyes upon the usual crushers, sparkling
wit, interesting locals and-and-and-
no we won't send our paper any more
to those fellows that never pay-darned
if we do.

END OF VOLUME 17.-With the pres
ent issue closes the 18th volume and year
of the TRINITY JOURNAL. Unless de-
linqucnts settle up promptly at the COM
menccment of the New Year, it is quite
probable that we shall reduce our sub
scription list considerably, by striking off
n number of names that so far have been
nothing but dead-weights. Publishing a
newspaper for honor may sound very po-
etical, but being one of this earth we re-
quire something more substantial. Should
number of our subscribers fail to re-
ccive the JOURNAL after the next week
or so, they may rest assured that it is not
through any mistake on our part. If a
man can't pay five dollars once year,
we can't afford to send him paper.

The publishers. anxious to justify tho ready

THE ALDINE, whilc issued with all tho
regularity, has none OF the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and
graceful literature, and collection of pie
lures, the rareSt specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
number affords fresh pleasure to its friends,
the real value and beauty of The Aldinc will
be most appreciated after it has been bound
up ut the close of the year. While other pub
pared with rivals of II similar class, The Aldino
is auniquc and original conception--aione and
unapproachcd - absolutely without competi-
tion in price or character. The possessor of
the volume just completed cannot duplicate
the quantity of fine paper and cngravings in
any other shape or number of volumes for ten

THE CHRISTMAS FEsTIvAL.-As soon
rs it was dark on Christmas Eve, the
people began to gather at the Theater in
Weaverville, and by half-past six o'clock
that building was densely crowded with
men, women and children, not less than
two hundred of the latter being present.
After singing by the choir and an address
by Mr.. Bragdon, Old Santa Claus made
his appearance and the distribution of
presents began. The Hall was beautifully
decorated and the three Christmas Trees
presented pleasing appearance. In the
early part of the evening, before the ex-
ercises began, the burning of very
small Chinese lantern was considered by
one or two sufficient to raise the cry Of
Fire! beloved as though the entire
building had been in flames. Aside from
Tightening the women and children no
damage was done. The presents distrib-
uted were numerous; nearly every child
present getting something, while many
of the grown-folks were favored with
gifts. Everybody was well pleased, all
enjoyed the affair and we believe were
fully satisfied. To the ladies and gentle
men of the Committee who had the
Christmas Trees in charge, much praise
is due, and although the task was self
imposed one and one which required con-
siderable time, trouble and patience, they
acquitted themselves very creditably.

valuable periodicals among which is q
new candidate for public favor in the
shape of literary weekly, published at
Philadelphia, and entitled To Ddy-a pa
per which proposes to keep up with the
times. To each subscriber to To-Day is
presented the most handsome oil chrome
ever offered as premium, entitled "Just
so High" Mr.. Finn proposes to visit
the principal places throughout the coun-
ty and solicit subscriptions to the period
icals for which he is agent, and we GER
ttanly take great pleasure in recommend
ing him to our people, which, by the
way, seems useless fol he has been a resi-
dent here for about twenty years. To-
Day will undoubtedly receive many sub
scribers as the chrome given away is
undoubtedly worth more than the sub
scription price.

Trials

Grace must be tried; yea, every
grace; and nothing tries the grace
of newborn heir more than wean-
ing him from the breast. Unbelief
within, oppositions without, and
the withdrawings of the Kings
presence, try faith. Deep poverty
tries patience,a and abounding plenty
tries temperance. Cruel workings,
reproaches, and insults try meek
ness; abounding errors,and damna-
Bile heresies will try the root of the
matter; wealth will try charity
pleasure, beautiful snares, and crea-
ture comforts, will try the sincerity
of love; feigned hypocrites, half
hearted professors, human applause
and clouds of self-seeking, men
pleasing preachers, will try faithful
ness; while every besetting sin that
strives for mastery will try the 10y
atty of the heart. The word of the
Lord tried Joseph, and the same
incarnate word will try every heir
of promise. But, when the King
tries them in the fire, he sits by as a
Refiner.-Hantington.
