CHRISTMAS POLITICS.

We propose, for this one occaSion to
ask our readers to mingle their religion
with their politics. This Christmas time
is the best OF all times in which to review
and revive tic principles we ought to
maintain in both the church and the
state. And these principles, like the
Southern gentleman's newspaper, ought to
consist" A good Christian cannot bc
bad citizen. A genuine follower of Him
who came to rescue the lowest fallen and
to preach the largest liberty to all the
earth cannot lend his political power,
whether it be that Of some great Office or
that only Of a single ballot, to the per-
petratiOn of any kind of injustice.
In the spiritual commonwealth of Jesus
of Nazareth all men were, free and all
equal-kins and subject, lord and slave.
1t was the great objection Of the philoso-
piers and statesmen of the first century
that the new religion confoundcd all
orders OF society, that it stripped the rich
and the great of their artificial distinc-
tiors, and restored tho scrvile ard base to
tic dignity of nature in spite of all the de-
crecs CT the state. 1t was, therefore, in
their eyes essentially revolutionary and
ievelling. Out of this truth grew a cloud
of monstrous lies which cncompassed the
church for several centuries, among the
rest the same argument tho Know
NOthings urged against our Catholic
brethren, viz: That the Christians were
establishing an emporium in imperio, and
would superscGe the civil with their &C.
cIesiastical authority. In vain a
long liue Of pious and illustrious
apolosists pointed to tho scripture,
which enjoined obedience, prompt and
implicit, to the civil ruler and made even
the payment Of the most onerous and Oh
noxious taxes a religious duty. The mo.
nopo!ists of that day, the owners of
charters and special privileges, those who
held the power to make other men labor
that they might riot, refused to be con-
vnccd. They saw that tho spirit Of tho
Galilean's sweet gospel was full Of peril
to their prctensions. That which filled
the heart of the broken slave with a new
born hope and robbed fire and cross Of
their tcrroys must sooner or later be fatal
to tie artificial managements of society,
which enabled few men to live by the
sweat and tears of the many. That was
the real danger which the Roman lord, rs |
we'll as the Roman politician and tax |

THE l.INE-KN NOT.

For the CHRIsrNAs lNTELL1GESCER.
The rare pine knot from the mour tain brought
Though charred to the outward sight,
Yet what resincus gold did It's heart unfold
When split By the axes might:
What charmed delights through the wintcry
nights,
What kindling up OF mlrth,
Eeiore the fire, did that knot inspire
As it blazed on the kitchen hearth:
OF youngsters met, 4 merry set,
All free from grief and care.
How our plays were advanced and our joys
enhanced
From that pine-knots ruddy glare:
As the kercnief we sought, now cold. now hot.
How We pressed each other around.

From the hero who had il found:

But could not see fingers, t%o nor three,
That before me were held for a test.
From mine arms outspread away they fed.

Oh, the meI1y pine knot had almost thought

For it shed its glow, now high, now low,

| With what prime delight did hold mine
tight
| The button received within
With such rollicky fun. as the night sped on,
Did that pine knot us supply;
While the aged cook, with her solemn look,
In the corner sat musinS by.
Then what stories she told, all weird and old
From her treasured Irish store -
While the oozing pitch, from the pine knot
| rich,
Was reccding its flame bcforc;-
They were fraught, on the green. with fairies
seen,
With tlcods of uncarthly kind,
| Till We feared almost We might see some ghost
IT VIC dared to look behind.
| In my life's advance have read romance
From authors the very best.
But with all their art they could not impart
To my soul that olden zest;
In the parlor bright I've had high delight,
| With the gas-light mellowed DER,
But that pleasure caught from the rich pine
| such can catch no more! w.M.N.
