Another Year.

The holiday season. ushered into being
by the festivities of Christmas, is the be-
ginning of the end of another year in our
nations history. The achievements of
the past twelve months, make it meet that
the Christmas of 1880 should long be re-
membered as the celebration of a remark
able epoch in our country's annals. While
celebrating the birth of spiritual Savior.
we can, at the same time, give expression
to the joyful feelings springing up in our
hearts, and everywhere. incident to the
birth of an era of universal prosperity,
and a vindcation and re-adoption ofthose
principles which preserved intact the star
ry constellation of our Union. Our
country. at peace with all the world, takes
rank first among the nations of the earth.
in wealth. power, and influence. Our
shores are made haven of refuge for the
prosecuted aud oppressed. The poor, suf-
fering millions Of the Old World. are
turning to America AS the cradle OF liberty
and the birthplace of freedom. The
beneficent effects of republican admins
tration in the executive departments. man
ifested or every hand by an uuexampled
development of our resources. and the in
creased magnitude of our commercial
transactions, have ensured stability to
our financial and administrative systems
never before attained in this or any other
country. The people last November tes-
tilted their adherence TO the principles
enunciated by Washington and Lincoln, in
the overwhelming defeat of the democrat
ic national ticket, and the election of rep
resentative eff the people TO the highest
office in the gift of American suffrage.
This year great issues have been presented
to the American citizen. But that intelli-
yence and innate honesty of thought and
action, which are inseparable to all things
purely American, have preserved untaiuted
by corruption. the natural, calm considera-
ton by the popular mind. of the relative
merits of these anfagonistic elements. Par
ty organizations are necessary instruments
in our social fabric. But there can be but
one party of the people. but one party in
every particular illustrative of the noble
sentiments which pervaded the hearts Of
the founders of the republic. The past
year has fully demonstrated to every lover
of liberty, and all true sons of Columbia.
the right OF the great republican party to
claim the first place in their confidence
and regard. We have much calculated TO
enhance the enjoyments of our Christmas
pleasures, but nothing OF greater moment
than the internal prosperity of the nation.
and : positive assurance of its continuance.
We have more than ordinary reason for

ary, In the fact that the United States

eliminated from the machinery of our
government many representatives of the

The Holidays.

These days, in which the diurnal visit
OF the sun to these northern latitudes is the
briefest, when the atmosphere is laden
with frost and the mantle Of snow covers
the earth, are undoubtedly the happiest
and best q the year. Though the winds
are cold the heart is warm and merry.
The home is never so bright, the affections
never 80 large as at this season. The old
renew their youth, the young find stores
of enjoyment which they will not forget
while life lasts
What pleasant thought it is that dur
ing the holidays everybody is trying to
make everybody else happy. The streets
are thronged with people gazing at the
shop windows. not merely to CRAFTY the
sense of seeing what is pretty and attrac-
tive, but to discover If possible in the ex-
hibition some suitable gift for friend
that will speak Of remembrance and kind
ness. There is a better SAVIOUR to a Christ
mas gift than to any other. 1t is purely
good will offering. 1t is not an ostenta-
tious show, but heartfelt gift, carrying
with it the best wishes Of the giver for the
one who receives it, The simplest pres
ent bestowed in this spirit has deeper
value than costly one given as mere
Formally The heart goes with the one
the other is often given grudginglY and
even sometimes with bitterness Of feeling
Money may buy the latter; but no money
can purchase the precious love that goes
with Christmas gift. be it ever so
small and simple. which comes from the
heart and hands OF sincere and true friend
ship, or on account of genuine good-iel-
lowship.
The holidays are the great occasion tor
the exercise of charity, that charity which
feeds and clothes the poor and destitute
and visits and attends the sick. All the
charity sermons uttered during the year
do not effect the good to humanity in the
direction of giving to the poor that the re-
turn of the holidays produces. The needy
in nearly every neighborhood in the land
are looked after, and made to rejoice in
some degree as others at this season.
This is the best and most blessed Christ
mas work, not to be forgotten or neglect
ed, but to be prosecuted as the one duty
without the performance OF which all else
is vanity.
The indications are that the Christmas
time this year will be busy one. The
crowds IN the stores began early and in
crease. Festivals, parties and dances
never fail to De abundant. People are
prosperous, the future looks bright, and
there is no reason why the world may not
be as happy at this Christmas as at any
since the Savior came upon earth to teach
the lesson of charity and good will toward
all men.

Southern Houses for New England

We have always had an idea that the
American style Of architecture, if itever
came, would be evolved out of the log
cabin, or, if that is too embryonic a
germ, from the Southern plantation
house, a, d we are glad to see that the
Rev. DIR. Bacon is trying the experiment
in his new house at Norwich, Conn.
The great difference in the temperature
of the seasons in this country makes it
almost impossible to build q house suited
for comfort and convenience all the
year round, and of course a city has
limitations in regard to space and
surroundings which can not be disre-
garded. But the Southern, plantation
house has picturesque and appropriate
elements, which are entirely wanting to
the angular frame building of the New
England States, and which seem capable
OF development into the best arrange
ments for convenience and comfort as
well, providing there is space enough
and surroundings that can be made
appropriate. Some Of the old mansions
Of Virginia and the Carolinas, where
they were not built in the bastard Greek
style with pillars and porticoes, are
perfect models of picturesque appropri-
ateness not surpassed by the rural
cottages Of England. Their very irreg-
ularity gives them charm, and they
have at once an amplitude, q coziness,
and a suggestion Of comfort. The
chimneys on the outside, the roofs
continuing out over the porticos, and
other features, suggest the simplicity OF
convenience, but are none the less per.
