CHRISTMAS AND CHARITY.

Whether Christ was born on the 25th
day of December or not, there is fine
symbolic significance in the selection of
that day for his advent to our world
The earth has just come to its aphelion,
its farthest distance from the sun =; the
days are the shortest, and the nights are
the longest in the year the darkness is
the densest, the cold is the severest, and
all the forces of production are at the
acme of their silence and torpor. On
this day, too, there is the first apprecia-
BILE increase of Zig hit The earth begins
to lift itself from its deep inclination,
and turn on its upward progress to meet
the face of the ascending sun commenc-
ing at this point, the sun gains slowly
on the darkness and GOODNESS of the earth,
until travelling in the greatness of its
strength, it pours the full food Of its
vertical beams on the beauty of the sum-
mer landscape. So Christ came when
the world was in the deepest darkness of
its spiritual alienation; in the most frig-
id temperature of its atheistic condition.
and from the hour of His coming the
days have begun to increase, until the
face of the earth is turned almost full
to the face of the Son of Righteousness,
and glows with the rich products which
His fervor evokes. Christmas comes
then in good time and reminds us of
the progress and results of the Divine
principles and sentiments which had
their birth in the manger of Bethlehem.
| Connected with the advent of our Sa-
vior was the advent of the true princi-
Piles of charity in this world. The new
commandment, old as a commandment,
but new in its motive, was then first
promulgated Christianity for the first
time made charity an essential virtue,
giving it the foremost place in the moral
order and in the injunctions of its teach
ers. 1t stimulated the affections by
making the poor the special representa-
tives of Him whose cradle was a manger
and who had not where to lay His head
1t was the love of Christ rather that the
love of man the principles of charity
In the vision of Sir Launfal, we get the
idea out of which Christianity made
charity to grow. When the Knight, il
his search for the Holy Grail. met the
leper, who covered beside him, a thing
as lone and white as the ice-isles of tn,
northern sea, in the desolate horror O
his disease. and asked an aims of him
''for Christ's sweet sake" Sir Launfa
said -

The second qualification to the admi.

Inc oSCouu dudliuCdoioh W oiiO duHil-
ration with which we regard Christian
charity, is, that the glory of the visible
church rather than the benefit of the
sufferer has been sought as the end and
object of charity. Ecclesiastical devo.
tion has been substituted for philanthro
by as motive of benevolence men have
given money to the poor for their own
spiritual benefit. They have built
churches out of the sweat of poverty
and out of the extorted legacies of the
rich, they have endowed monasteries and
religious institutions, and instituted or
ders of pious mendicants aud vagabonds,
who, in neglect of the primal duties of
life, and of the laws of production and
self support have raised beggary to a
virtue, and consecrated mendicancy with
the baptism Of religion. The stigma
which it was the constant aim of Christ
to attach to mendicancy, it becomes the
main object of priests and theologians to
remove. But even this system is begin
ming to vanish under the benign and YER
teal rays of Christianity. The Christ
ian faith, ever devolving itself anew,
and rising into the heavens with fresh
powers, no longer fosters veneration for
sanity poverty, but turns itself to its
relief and cure 1t cultivates the habits
and aims of industrial civilization. 1t
makes sainthood consist no longer in
Withdrawing from the world; in eccles-
iastical penance and vigils in fostering
classes of men who withdraw from pro-
ductive labor, and are supported by
charity; but its noblest heroes are those
who diminish the evils of poverty by
curing the habits out of which it grows,
and correcting the tendencies which lead
to it. 1t points to the time when there
shall be no poverty; when every man
shall sit under his vine or fig tree unmo-
Tested by the gaunt fears of famine
and want and misery. Christmas is a
prophecy of regeneration to society, and
its merry chimes prefgures to us the
time when fanaticism and intolerance
and brutality and selfshness and pow.
erty and crime shall disappear, and the
bright summer shall come, and the earth
reach its perikelion.
All hail, Christmas, them time Of
joy and of hope. Associated with the
fondest recollections of childhood, with
the music of church bells, with such
chimes and carols as the genius of earth
loves to enforce the lessons of heaven

cen centuries has governed the magma

A few weeks since. as Mr. Charles
Thompson was entering the gentlemen s
room of the Atalion. at Chatham, a
drunken fellow by the name of Southerd,
fired at and narrowly missed him the
ball lodging in the wall beside the door.
The revolver, Smith & Wesson, was
secured before it could be fired again.
The next day Southerd was arrested,
and on paying a small fine was released,
after being bound over to keep the peace,
instead of sending him to the Peniten
tiary, as they should have done.

Saturday, December 7, an appalling
tragedy occurred at Johnston, near Prov
idence, R. l. Two men, named Smith
and Drew, were employed in Johnston
as wood-choppers. 1t was cold, blowy
day, and the men, while at work, kept
up a hot fire under a large, overhanging
rock. By keeping a brisk fire they
warmed the rock itself, and thus by ra-
diation secured really warm place
After work, as it is supposed, they went
to the fire to warm themselves and have
a smoke before going home. While they
were seated there the rock cracked and
fell over on them, and they were found
under it Monday. Smith was evidently
killed on the instant, but Drew had
struggled to free himself. He had reach
ed his axe and chopped his own foot off,
but his body was still held fast, and,
after vain efforts to get away, he had
ended his struggles by cutting his throat
with an axe. The rock was probably
as hot as it was heavy, and the suffering
of the poor man must have been beyond
description. Smith, the one first killed
had been in the army at various times
had both legs and three ribs broken, anc
had bullet in his body. He wa
thrown out of employment in Boston b.
the fire, and seems all his life to hav,
been one of fortunes victims. Drew
was thirty years old, and was ex
pecting his wife and child to arrive soon
Both were natives of New Hampshire

Perhaps none of the colliery disasters
to which England is so subject has been
more terrible than that which recently
occurred in the Pelsall Hall Colliery.
In this pit forty miners we're working,
when an adjacent and disused mine, full
of water, which had not been operated
since forgotten times, and whose exis-
tence was unknown, burst its partition
and swept through in a resistless food
into this busy hive. Several saved their
lives by swimming, and one man had a
remarkable escape, being carried for a
quarter of mile underground clinging
to a ladder. When taken out he was
insensible. Seventeen others escaped,
but there was no help for'the other twen-
ty-two. The efforts to pump out the
water continued for days, while around
the edge of the pit the wives and child
rem of the doomed men gathered, rending
the air with their cries. The appear
ance of fre-damp left no hope, but the
women hoped against it. There being
q superstition in the mines that as long
as the wife refrains from eating, the hus-
band will remain alive, for days tears
was the only meat these poor women
fed upon, until in imminent danger of
their lives they consented to take bread,
and then all hope departed from the vii
lage. In the midst of this af1iction the
Bishop came down to the colliery to
preach to these agonized masses, and the
burden of his discourse was that God
had justly sent the calamity, that they
might repent He must have been Of

A STORY OF THE BosToN FIRE.-Al-
most every day we hear some new in
stance to show how far reaching was the
loss by the great fire We were recent
ly told of an old man in New Hampshire
who lost his all. Years ago he did bus
mess for time in Boston, and put a
little money into insurance stocks. So
fortunate were his first ventures, that
he soon converted all his means into this
kind of property, and for years his whole
savings, and much borrowed money had
been thus invested He saw the fire
from his home, fifty miles away, and
naturally his first thought was of his
insurance stocks. He took his map and
studied the bearing of the fire and was
convinced that it must be in Boston, and
long and earnestly he watched to find
that hour after hour the fire fend still
ragged. He told his wife his fears, and
Christian-like, turned to his Bible. The
first verse that met his eye was in Amos ::
but | will send fire into the house of
Hazael, which shall devour the palaces
of Benhadad'' He closed the volume,
and cried out to his wife that he knew
the fire had destroyed his all. By the
first train Monday morning he came to
Boston to learn that twelve of the thir-
teen companies in which he owned stock
had failed, and $4,000, the savings Of
a lifetime, was gone. Too old to begin
life anew, the tears rolled down his
cheeks as he told his tale to our inform
ant, and cried in his agony, II am ru
ined, and l owe money" The losses by
the fire to the young and energetic will
soon be repaired, but the aged and wo
men, so many of whom became impov
erished, are indeed the objects of ou
deepest sympathy TRAVELLER.
