CHRISTMAS.

-Phe great Festival which occurs on
Saturday of this week is one that all
mankind are better for reverently and
gratefully observing. There is that in
the accents of the Christmas message
which should strike a common chord
of love and sympathy in the hearts of
all alike, the high and the low, the rich
and the poor. We live in an age Of
the World which is hard and utilitar-
ian to the last degree. Materialistic
notions fill the air. And we hear the
voices of those who would treat the
Christmas message but as summons
to eat and to drink, to be Of good cheer
and to take one more holiday. Not so
does this holy day come to us when we
reflect upon its origin. Not so does it
come to us when we think of what it
already has done for the world, bring
ing comfort and peace to mourning
hearts, and friendship and love to
those who otherwise had been desolate
and in misery. Christmas speaks to us
of COPS great love sending into the
world His best gift to man. Let it
speak to us also of man'slove and graf
itude to COP, showing itself by a rev.
erent, hearty worship, showing itselfin
kind and thoughtful deeds to the sick
and the poor, deeds which are truly
and simply wrought by the spirit of
Christ alone. And may all our readers
have merry and happy Christmas
Tide.

A Boy Again.

Pain and sickness bring on old age
with fearful rapidity. They make an
incessant drain on the vital forces, and
the weary steps and faded cheeks of
age often come when the enjoyment
OF life should be at its highest. DR.,
David Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy
turns this kind of old age into youth
again. Headache, pains in the limbs
troubles of the liver, bowels or kidneys
vanish before it. and feeble men and
women become like rollicking school
boys and girls once more. One Dollar

NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICS

The nomination of Hon. Ossian Ray,
as representative in Congress for the
third District of New Hampshire brings
to mind the great loss the District has
met with in the death of Major Farr.
No man perhaps ever left behind
him pleasanter memories, purer rec
ord or warmer friends than did the
late lamented Major. Ills life as boy,
man, lawyer. citizen, soldier and legis-
lator %Jll be remembered only with
abe most cordial approval in which no
one shares more largely than Mr.. Ray
This sudden event has awakened the
people of that District to new duties
and unexpected responsibilities. To no
one has the realization of the situation
come more suddenly or Unexpectedly
than to the present standard bearer of
the Republican party. lie will be elect
ed next week through no long wrought
designs of his own, but on the contrary,
this election will turn him away from
a path which he had laid in very diff
ferent direction. lie is o lawyer by
nature, cultivation, taste and work.
lie enjoyed the collisions of the bar.
He entered into the discussions of legal
propositions with the keenest zest. lie
engaged in political controversies in
behalf of others with untiring zeal and
commendable courage, lie was an ar.
dent devotee to his profession and new.
er wandered from it. lie took the of
flee of county solicitor because it was
on his way and merely incidental tc
the practice of his profession. He &C
cepted the office of District Attorney
because his friends saw his peculiar fit
ness for it and urged it upon him. Ill
is an impetuous man, impulsive anC
generous and most keenly alive to al
that is going on about him. In shor
he is ii live man, just what the Distric
wants and what an enterprising cOun
try needs in her counsels. lie had de
,tgrlnined to devote himself to his pro

participation in politics. Just as H.
had determined upon this course h

conduct before and at the cOnyentio
and especially his neat speech with Il
tender and delicate allusion to til
late Major Farr and his terse and con
prehensive outlining of the vital int
ests of the District gives unbounde
confidence in his ability to satisfy I'll
wants and ambitions of the people
his District. His election is sure, bl
the people ought not to rest upon an
such assurance, They should organi
and work until they give him such
majority as shall give the country 7
newed assurance that the principl
which have been so triumphantly vi
Dictated are still alive in the minds
the people and that they will continu
until their present defenders and 4
present personal considerations shi
have passed away and been merged

ing benefits which they shall conf
upon our people, and which we trr
will continue for ever.
