Christmas at tho Churches,

The Lutheran church will be decorated with
evergreens, and this evening at O'Clock will
take place the Christmas celebration of that
church. The exercises will be very beautiful
and interesting, and will embrace singing by
the choir and congregation, the Introit for
Christmas, the chant Gloria Patri, Scripture
reading by the minister and congregation. At
the foot Of the pulpit is a beautiful nest OF
moss, into which the Sunday school children
will deposit their Christmas eggs containing
offerings. Offerings will also be made by the
Won Bora and Lutheran Aid Societies and by
the congregation.
AT the Baptist church, on Christmas night,
the annual Festival of the Sunday school will
take place. at which time the prizes to the
scholars will be awarded and distributed. The
commissary department will BIS under the
management of Mr.. w. d. Gambler, whose abil-
ity and good judgment give the assurance that
nothing will be wanting to please the eye and
crafty the appetites of the children. The &C.
casion will be pleasant and charming one for
the children, as well as for grown persons.
The ladies of the Episcopal church have been
busy for the past week preparing wreaths OF
evergreen with which to decorate the church
for Christmas day, and, judging by the past,
we confidently predict that it will be most
handsomely and artistically done. Services
will be held Christmas morning, during
which the following musical programme will be
rendered by the choir who have been practic-
ing diligently for some time:-"Hark the
herald angels sing" Venite, by Willard; Clio
rain Excelsis, by banks; Festival TIE Deum,
by Dudley Buck; Jubiiate, of Floyd, and
"Hark! what mean those holy voices" as the
ofertory. The choir will include Mrs. R. H.
Catlett, w. L. Bumgardner, f. B. Berkeley, and
Fannie Tams; Misses III. B. Berkeley and Mag
gle shehey, and G. L. Cooke and II. L. Powell
Prof Hamer Will preside at the organ.
At the Catholic church Early Mass will be
celebrated at 5 o'clock 4. NJ, and some very
excellent singing will accompany the Christmas
morning services. The choir is excellent
one and the organ accompanim will be
played by Prof Walters. The church, as usual
on such occasions. will be beautifully decorated
with evergreens.
There will be special services at the Metho-
dist church on Christmas morning at 10 O'Clock,

For the SPECTATOR.
TWO CHRISTMASES,


The glow OF the freight fingers
Along the nursery wall,
Tracing with ghost-like fingers
Shadows SO grim and tall,
That the three little children sleeping
In trundle-bed coy and white
Nestle together while peeping
Half MISUNDERSTANDING pleased with the light
Will says, 81 bet tits Kris Kringle,
He'll come down the chimney tonight,
And then we'll hear sleighs, and the Jingle
Ofbells, as he comes into sight,
"Oh Charley" says Eddie, "stop talking
And let us go fast asleep
Our stockings look like they were walking
Right up to q chimney swept"
The curly heads nestle still nearer,
The eye-lids dropping now fall;
The breathing deeper and clearer
Shows slumber has settled on all
A woman sits by the embers
Gazing with motherly pride
On the three sleeping boys, then remembers
The stockings all hanging by side,
And she thinks as she fills them and ponders
AS only mother can do
Ger alLtheir sweet ways, and wonders
Was happiness ever moro true!
As she thinks of the six little footsteps
To be led in the narrow way,
And the six little hands that must labor
For good or for evil Away,
softer light plays DER her face
And she prays that to her may be given
To guide them, each day new grace
And receive all at last into Heaven.
Another Christmas is dawning
On q world now spotless and white,
But joy cometh not with the morning
And darkness greater than night
Has settled on one mothers rest
Now aching, longing to see
Fen one curly head on her breast,
| Which has felt the pressure of three.
The stockings are folded away
Which hung by last Christmas's fire,
The ashes stand thick, for to-day
| There is no childish want or desire
For three little graves in row,
| So soft, so spotless. and white.
| Nestle under the beautiful snow
Three little beds covered from sight.
Oh! pure. and oh, beautiful snow.
Apt symbol OF childhood you seem!
Come softly cover them DER,
And leave them to sleep and to dream.
The Christ of our Christmas has come
And taken to spend it in Heaven
The mothers three children, who prayed
Such grace TO her should be given.

THE CRACKER" ORDINANCE SUSPENDED
The City Council on last Tuesday night. sus-
pended the ordinance against firing crackers
on the streets from o'clock yesterday evening
until the end of Christmast week. It YVES well
enough for the Council to take this step, for the
boys would fire them any how, and it being
against an ordinance of the Council only LENT
more zest to the sport. We venture to saw that
not one-half the crackers Will be fred this
Christmas as there was last year. However as
it is more or leas dangerous sport, the police
shol,ld he careful to see that every precaution
against fire is taken. and the boys should be
careful to refrain from throwing the crackers
where their is combustible material.
