Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-01-06

THE festive seasons of Christmas
and New year have passed since We
last addressed our readers. There has
been much to depress our people at
the usually joyous season; clouded
political horizon, serious depression
in business transactions contributed to
somewhat unfit our people for the
seasonable festivities, and the custom
airy masquerading and egg-nogg and
6re-crackers were rather perfunctorily
got through with; but the deep SHOWS
and subsequent freezing weather which
occurred between Christmas aud New
year started the merry sleigh-b bells,
and our beaux and bellies have had
as gay time as could be desired
careering over the crisp white snow
and enlivened by the sweet tinkling of
the bells and the still sWeeter music of
the girlish laugh-but look ont girls
it is serious business after all and mat
rimony may come of it-beware. And
so commences in joy and laughing the
hundreth year of our National exist
ence. May it end as happily as it be-
gan, our political institutions have
asevere strain to go through with be-
fore another new year, and if we APP
proach the trial with anxiety it is also
with hopefulness, not yet forgetting
that
There is q divinity which shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them as we may.

occasion.
