CURISTThS.

Thejoyous Christmas holiday season has come;
the streets Of our city are enlivened With gay
costumes, bright eyes and smiling countenances,
and our well-stocked stores are daily crowded
With visitors who are puzzi led, amidst the vast
variety Of al kinds Of Christmas things, to de-
eide what they shall get as tokens of their
friendship, love or affection. The delight of
the children knows no bounds, as they gaze in
to the windows filed with wonderful toys, which
seem to them the openings to some fairy land,
and they hurry home with beating hearts and
their little heads full of all sorts Of strange
stories to tell father or mother and ask, with
bated breath, if old Santa Claus will bring such
pretty things as they have seen. Even chill
dren Of larger growth stop to look at the bright
Ingenious toys Of the present day, and think Of
the tine not SO long past, when they, too, were
little children full Of delight at the prospect Of
visit from the now legendary Santa Claus
Alas only too soon are the sweet delosious OF
our childhood swept away By the realities Of
Increased knowledge therefore, let not the lit
Gle children be disappointed aid them to en-
Joy TO the uttermost the period ofinnooenoe and
happiness, to which they can never more re-
turn, and fail lot to ell their little stockings
With something, however triAing, that they
may not lose faith in good, jolly old Santa
Claus.
There is German legend that on every re-
turn Of the birthday CT the Christ-child, He
comes to earth to look after the welfare Of
those, OF whom, whilst on earth, he said, "of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven" How sweet
q thought it should be to each mother to think,
as she fills the little stocking hanging over the
little curly head CT her darling, that the Christ
child is there watching the sleep OF her child
aud ho7ering over it or the wings of unapeoka-
bic love and affection.
Let joy and giadpess reign ca every side. It
is time for happiness. Let Us commemorate
it as the birthday Of Him who brought ''peace
OF earth and goodwill towards man''-of Him
Who took away the transgEession Of the fatal fall
and offered himself sacrifice that man might
be saved. And in the midst Of the general joy7
shall the poor be forgotten? Shall they COM
plain in their wretchedness that they have no
part in this gracious Christmas season? No,
let them be made partakers in this holy sea-
SOD. What would not be missed from the
abundant stores Of the rich would render them
bright and happy. Their wants are unpanper-
ed, and can easily be satisfied. We are sure
the kind hearts Of the benevolent will net fer
get these little children, who. accustomed to
4he privdtions CT cherries existence, would
DO rendered happy By the smallest gift. Kind
words and warmer, clothes arc what they NEST
need, and receiving them, their little hearts
would be touched and filed with thank{olness,
and they would early learn that they, too, have
share in tbs blessings showered down by Hin
who said. ''sufar little children to come untc
me-"

SUSPENSION of Payment of Interest

We gave last week the decision Of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals Of this State, affirming
the constitutionality Of the act passed March
30th, 1871, commonly known as the Funding
Bill, and which made coupons receivable for
taxes, and deciding that the act Of March It'll
1872, repeating that feature of the Funding
Bill was unconstitutional, as it impaired the
obligation Of the contract between the State and
her creditors under the provisions Of the act of
March Both, 1871, and thus made it the duty
Of the officers of the State to receive coupons in
payment of taxes and others dues owing to the
State.
Soon after this decision CT the Court of APP
peals vas declared, a bill vas passed hurriedly
by both branches Of the Legislature repeating
the act providing fer the payment Of the inter-
est On the debt of the State the effect of which
is to suspend the payment Of per cent Inter
est on the State debt, PROVIDED for in the bill
thus repealed, until a case arising under this
action shall be brought before the Courts for
adjudication.
On "Wednesday last, the Attorney OF
| the State moved the Court for re-hearing in
the coupon case, On Thursday, the Court
oyerruled the motion for re-hearing without
argument. Judge Christian, speaking for the
Court, said
In disposing CT this motion, we have only
| to say that the cases have been deliberately ar
gued and have been the subject of tho most
deliberate and anxious consideration by the
court. Every possible view Of the important
questions to be considered were presented il
argument Or suggested by members of the court
in the careful examination which the large in
eerests involved, and the high responsibilities
OF our position demanded. Under deep and
painful Sense Of these responsibilities Our opin-
ions were deliberately formed after the most
careful investigation.
GAS to the correctness Of these opinions there
is not one Of US (of tbs majority who has the
shadow Of doubt. A re-argu iaent cannot pos
sibiy change or settled and conscientious ccD-
votions; aad ne have thought it proper to dis
poae OF this motion at the earliest practicable
moment, in order to remove any doubt or uncer-
tainty ia the public mind IS Go the fiua; action
Of this court. The credit OF the Commonwealth
and the public welfare alike requires Chat the
important questions arising ous Of these cases
should be pat at rest, far. at least, as the &C.
/ ton OF this Court caa have that effect.
The motion for re-hearing is overruied. .
