A CHRISTMAS GREETING.

SO the cold aud persisted EARTH
Wakes to strange unwonted mirth,
And the weary hearts of men
Clean with sudden joy, as when
They We're basking in the summer wholly
fled.
While with rapture thus accords
Every heart.
To the lips exulting words
Freely start;
Aud thus We-our year complete
Haste our myriad friends to greet,
Trusting all may, far and wide,
On this happy Christmas tide,
In its peace. and mirth, and gladness find
part.
In their sorrows may the sad
See the day
That restores them to the glad
And the gay
And may those our land has nurs'd
Ger the rolling globe dispersal,
Find the limit of their pain,
AS the old time comes again.

Scattering joy throughout the earth.

Quick they come-a Joyous band,

Woman's love, may now prove himself
worthy of it.

Hartford would gladly have re-
leased any claim, or every claim she
might have, on old man Bacon, if the
authorities had deemed it best to have
kept him in Emporia.
