Now Christmas is come
Let us beat up the drum
And call all our neighbors together,
And when they appear,

As will keep out the wind and the weather
How the genial Irving gloa;ed over Christmas.
And how beautifully and lovingly he told us of
the good, old-fashioned Christmas of old England
the glow and warmth Of the evening fire" in
The great fire place blazing with the yule-og;
the quaint humors, the burlcsque pageants, the
complete abandonment and goodfcllOwship with
which this festival was celebrated" the old ca
rolls by which lie was awakened on Christmas
morn, the old games, that made times mcrricr
and kinder and better" And Charles Dickens,
how greatly did he use To cOmmisscratc any who
could be unhappy at Christmas tide! And how
much he hated all sclfishncss at such a time.
And what great hearted stories he used to write
Tor Christmas, How We wish we could incorpo-
rate onc.--Old .Sc,ooge for instance, and how the
ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and
Christmas Future won him away from seliishncss
and misanthropy till "his own heart laughed"
through excess of good nature and love.
What glorious day it was to these men! And
how glorious it could be Ia us all did We let the
divine light of cheerfulness shine into our souls
as they did; did we dwell not on the past and its
cares and SORROWS but reflect on our present
hlessings-fll up our glass again with Il merry
face and contcntcd heart--through Christmas
tide, at least. And as Christmas tide has not vet
ebbcd away, let us improve ii, and be merry till
Epiphany, il we must be melancholy after then.
II was not TO I've expected that we could be as
merry a. usual this year. \ joyous Christmas
must bc 4 white one, or at least a cold one; but
on this year, those who remembered it could not
but feel their spirits fall, ~ the proverb would
repeat itself in their minds "A green Christmas
makcth fat graveyard" Yet the day was mer-
~. The home circle frightened with Sood-fel-
lowship though the sun was darkencd; the
churches (which believe itnot wrong 10 celebrate
the Sayiour's BIRTH were filled with music Of
praise and thanksgiving, and many little one,
whose Christmas at home was meagcr and disap-
pointing had his JOY increased by the good cheer
and gifts that his Sunday school teachers and
friends had prepared for him. And the day was
merry.

CHRISTMAS. What a grand word.
'.All Of great,

"All of great,
Or good, or lovely, which the sacred past
IN truth or fable concentrates"
Is gathered here i'm this word Christmas, for with
Christmas began Il new and bitter era of the
world; new mode of things came into exist
cncc; spirit of love was brcathcd into it and
through it and around it such as had never been
known before and which has been leading it ON
thro centuries of progress to that higher and no
bier life of to-day. With Christmas came the di-
vine doctrine 'ove thy ncighbor AS thyscli'-a
doctrine dramatically opposed to the "cyc for an
eve and a tooth for tooth law of the ancient
world With the preaching of the former began
modern civilization, and because Of it is the
world of to-day SO vastly different from the world
hcfore the first Christmas.

The MEssAGE.-The Presidents Message is
long -winded, and generally without interest.
We shall not infict it upon our readers, but snail
merely refer to several Of the subjects treated in
in it. The President glories in his treaohery to
the Republicans of the South, and pictures beau
ties arising from it that do not exist. The Re-
publican party have nothing to hope for at his
hands. He is al. that the most ardent foreign
bond holder could desire. Resumption must be
forced at the time fixed by law. If the silver
dollar is to be coined again, it must be for the
people only, but the bond-holder must be paid
in gold. 1t would be breach of faith to redeem
bonds that were bought for gold, in any other
currency than gold aud it would be breach of
faith to redeem bonds that were bought for
greenbacks, with greenbacks, for the bond-hold-
ers are expecting gold. After bonds were bought
with greenbacks, it was no violation of faith
with the people, to enact law providing that
they should be paid in gold; and it was no
wrong upon the people to pass a law by stealth
demonetizing silver; but any attempt to undo
the wrongs committed, would be violation of
faith. Hayes is owned, body and breeches, by
the gold gamblers and bond holders aud if the
people expect to obtain justice, it must be
through twothirds majority in both branches
of Congress. This they may not have in the
present Congress, but they will have in the
next.

An INDIAN GRAMMAR.-Hon. r. NJ. Williams,
State Senator from Doniphan County, recently
presented to the Kansas State Historical Society
little book, which is not only of great historical
but of rare educational value. 1t is a grammar
of the Iowa Indian language, written and print
eg by the Rev. s. NJ Irwin, at Highland in Kan
sas, in 1S4S. Mr.. Irwin was at that time mis-
sionary among the Indians, and in connection
with Mr. Hamilton, secured few type, aud al
though neither of them were practical printers,
they made job as good as the everage printing
of that period. Mr.. Irwin still lives al Highland,
being now the oldest Presbyterian minister in
the State If the thoughtfulness Of Senator Will
liams should become contagious, it is not too
late for the State Historical Society to aecmu-
late collection of infinite value; but nothing
can exceed the valve of this perfect copy of an
Indian grammar. written and printed in Kansas
at that ay.-Atchison Champion.

r. "Old Settler" occupies another column
and a half Of the Bulletin. He says nothing
worth special notice, except stating willful
falsehood, when he asserts that the Chief ever
said that all Union soldiers went into the army
to escape Imprisonment for crime or treason.
Our language. that he willfully misrepresents,
was SO plain that it could not be misunderstood
or misconstrued. "Old Settlers" threat about
Democrats eeasiug to patronize the Chief isn't
very scary. We always have had Democratic
subscribers, and expect always to have. They
take the Chief, knowing that its politics is op-
posed to theirs. "0ld Settler" doesn't control
their patronage. If this stopping patronage
were to work both ways, the new -fiedged Dem
ocratic organ would be the worst sufferer. II
the Chief or auy of its correspondents were even
to hint the suggestion that Republicans cease
patronizing the BalietiR, what howl we should
hear abut the attempt to starvs o poor man s
family!

iV- IIcnshall wants somebody to come and

Democrats who ought to have sense enough to
know better, lecturing him upon his contemplat-
ed change in politics, and warning him of the con-
sequences-all on account Of little squibs in the
st. Joseph Herald and the Chief Heushall
thinks that if his past record as a Democrat is
not proof against newspaper joke, he has lived
in vain, rs far as securing the confidence of his
censors is concerned. He thinks he despises n
turn-coat as badly as they do That's why he is
in less haste than they TO embrace that sort
of folk.

DRAwBACK.-To o person who has always
been Greenback man, it is slight drawback
To observe who are now the great champions OF
the grrrnlack cause. Two of these worthless are
Brick Pomerny and Henry Clay Dean. IL is in
terestiny to t,ace their line of march TO the
Greenbaek party. From the first issue of the
Greenbacks down 10 1868, and perhaps later, or,
at least, as long as Brick Pomcroy conducted
the La Crosse Democrat, his paper filled with
the vilest abuse of the Greenback. There was
NO term, vile or filthy, that he did not apply to
it. Every week, his paper contained senti-
mental department, in which he depicted the
sorrows of the poor, in being compelled to re-
ceive the dirty, filthy rags for their labor, in
stead of the good gold, that they once received.
In a word, as long as the Greenbark was neces-
sary to save the Union, Brick Pomcroy deuounc-
ed it. Next, he was i'm favor of regulating the
bonds and the greenbacks altogether: but as
that doctrine did not take, he became ardent
Greenback man, aud now wants it made legal
tender for every thing. At the present day, Pom
eroy's Democrat is handed around rs the organ of
the Greenback party. What Pomeroy did in his
paper, Henry Clay Dean did on the stump. He
abused the foul rag as long as it represented the
loyalty of the nation then he wanted to repn-
diate it and now he is around stumping in IA
vor of making it the currency of the country.
The faith of the old Greenback men is based
upon firm foundation; but that foundation is
not strengthened in the least by the spectacle of
such creatures, and others like them, now act
ing in the role of blatant leaders of the Green
back sentiment. Their advocacy of it now is
not from any sentiment Of public interest. If
they could compel tine men who furnished the
money to carry ON the war, to take pay for their
bonds in Greenbacks, their mission would be ae-
compished.

The FUTURE OF GRANT.-The quid nuncs are
giving themselves much needless anxiety about
Gen. Grant and the best methods of shelving
him in the future. Murat Halstead proposes for
him the mission to Berlin, and the New York
Tribune chimes in with one of its characteristic
paragraphs, in which it has the bad taste to
drag the Rev. DR.. Newman into the ring. Now
these people are giving themselves much need
less trouble over the future of General Grant.
Unless we mistake the indications, the people
have in store much higher mission than any
that this Administration can confer.-Naf0ndi

CoRREcTIoS.-The printer sometimes makes

if the public could see some of the manuscript

would wonder only that the errors are so few.

communication, the printer made it read:

chased by one of the Kansas City papers, and
the matter is circulated throughout the State
it, it is stale. and the quality is poor, at best
and they frequently find articles on their out

at best. Kansas publishers had better print
their papers at home; or, if they can't do that,
they had better quit, and be done with it.
