Chrisil,,as.

To-day is Christmas-the day oul
Saviour was born, Before the Regis
ter has reached many Of its patrons
the day will have passed away, bul
10 those whom it will reach this day
a few words may not be inappropri
ate, Christmas day is properly one
of rejoicing and prayer. And il
should be genuine. Too much fthe
rejoicing is disgusting and degrading
for SO many make it a day of ex
cesses, more particularly in that Of
drunkenness. 1t ought to be day
of sobriety and love to God, and good
will to our fellow.beings Much Of
the dissipation Of the day would be
avoided if the wine.glass and tn,
punch.bowl was banished from oul
homes and dinner tables. Remem
Der, that many Of the young mer
who make "calls" to-day, have moi
the moral courage to refuse the
wine when profered by fair hands
and here mayda their downfall ano
ruin.
And now a word for the poor
While partaking Of the good things
Of this life in happy, cheerful and
pleasant homes, let US not forget the
example of Him whose birth we eel,
citrate:
"Send something to the needy!
Who, your own heart can best tell;
To the poor man in his cottage.
Or the convict in his cell,
To the orphan in affection,
To the widow in her weeds.
Oh! send something-thus, my neighbor,
You may scatter goodly seeds.
As our Father may have blessed you
In your basket and your store;
Oh! send something, that His blessings
May continue evermore.
Make the bright eyes sparkle brighter,
Make the pale cheeks glow with joy,
OF the sad and weary mother,
OF the tender girl and boy.
Send something to the heartsore-
To the chastened sons OF men
Words OF sympathy and kindness,
BY the tongue, or by the pen,
Let us never fail, my brother
AS the Lord 10 us has given,
To send something to each other,
Till we reach the courts Of Heaven.

Stop Drinking Vinegar.

How many young women who

by drinking vinegar, to reduce their

lan's Anti-Fat is absolutely harm

complishes its work simply by pre-
venting an undue assimilation of the
fatty ingredients of food. Excessive
fairness Is VeXalious burden, and
there Is no longer any excuse for en-
during it, since Allan's Anti-Fat is

For Governor.

The Point Pleasant Register noting
the comments of the press on the
Gubernatorial candidacy of Hon. j,
n. Camden of Parkersbnrg, in 1880,
pledges him the "solid vote of the
Third District" Mr.. Camden is
immensely popular of course, but
isn't tho pledge of a solid vote of the
district u little premature, not to say
slightly silly? AS n matter of fact,
haven't the votes of the "Solid" coun.
ties taken upon themselves a habit
Of panning out to the utter discomft-
urO Of those who profess to control
them; and wouldn't it look better for
Mr.. Camdcn's friends to simply say
"that they like him and will do the
best they can for hin?-GarleSton
Courier.
When we spoke of the ''solid vote, u
we meant the Democratic vote, which
is almost solid as our friend of the
Courier recently found out. There
was time, not very long ago, when
the editor of the Courier was for Mr.
Camden, above all other men, and
wehave hopes that he will be so again
lie certainly learned enough in the
late election to satisfy him that he
nor no other boiling Democrat, car
break the solid column of Democra
cy of the Third District, by fusion
of the handful of Grecnbackers will
the Republicans. If Mr.. Camden
should be the choice of the Democra
cy in Convention assembled, (and
we hope he may bc) for Governor
he will get the solid Democratic vote
Of the Third District, even should
the editor of the Courier throw his
influence C?) against him.

Death of BaNard TnNlor.

The death of Bayord Taylor, our
Minister at Berlin, which occurred
Thursday, calls up many recollect-
ions, says the Standard, of his disting,
uished career as a journalist, travel
er, poet and novelist, as well as dip
lomat. His career furnishes the best
illustration of what may be accom-
plishod by self help within our recol.
lection. Commencing as n printers
boy, he rose from the case to an act
i've part in the control of one of the
best Of American journals. He illu-
minated foreign countries with his
notes of travel, furnished some Of the
most admired contributions in
American fiction and poetryand his,
death occurred not uufittingly among
the people whose literature he had
done so much to illustrate, aud where
he was an honored representative Of
our government.
