A Merry Christmas.

Monday next will be Christmas
day, and we wish our readers one and
all, a 'smerry Christmas" What a
happy thought, the approach ofChrist-
mas. The story of this glorious day,
like the sentiment oflove,never grows
stale. The festivities ofthe mid-win-
ter holiday never clog, but continues
to crown the years departure with
their joyous exercises, and throughout
all Christendom, Is they break in up
on each recurring solstice of clouds
and storm, with their warmth and
sunshine and gladness of spirit, abate
no little oftheir pleasant cheer. Who
is there who does not feel the soften
ing Of the heart that lets itself out in
anthems of happiness and deeds of
kindness at this festive season. We
fancy that even those who deny the
divinity of Him who gave this festi-
val to His world and His people, must
partake of the inspiration of universal
rejoicing which beauties the habita-
tons and characters of the children
of men. Yea, verify, for to the little
ones what a great, huge, widespread
heaven of happiness does the Christ
mas relaxation open? Yet, not only
to them, but to the children of larger
growth what pure and deep delight
may it not furnish to those who use it
Alright? Has it aver occurred to you,
reader, how sadly you would get a.
long without Christmas? What would
the winter be without it? What
would childhood be-what, indeed,
life itself? So we welcome with glad
and thankful hearts the happy day
now at hand. Bpt, let us reflect, a
mid our mirth and rejoicing, how sad
a day 1t is to some; to the widow
whose stay and support was rudely
torn from her and her helpless ones,
q day, a week, a month ago; to the
many little ones in whose pinched
faces no CLEAN of the cheer is found
that gladden. our friends, and warm
u homes. Let us all, at this time
more than all others, remember the
poor.
