We be right in our assumption that 4 cold
wave is upon Us, 1t Will certainly be moro

Christmas, with all It's festivities, gayeties,
passions, and social Joys, with at least Q
feeling Of greater satisfaction. For a
Christmas without snow is like picnic
without i tree and 4 lunch-basket. What
would the world be without Christmas ;
The grand idea OF the anniversary OF the
birth OF One who took upon Himself the
sorrows and sins u man. and opencd
the way 20 atonement to those who OF
themselves had not the means Of sat-
isiaction for their moral delinquencies.
has. il is true, been exaggerated into
IN hilarious felicilation OF humanity which
will not bear the rigid criticism Of
ausicre pieiy. But there Is that in the So
cialities Of the season. in the spirit OF
affection, bountiiul hospitality, sympathy
for suffering, and the humanity even Of
excess itself, that turns the mind Of youth
especially in line Of good impulses. The
better part OF mans nature is warmed up
into vigorous growth, and for the time at
least gets the better OF the selfish and sor-
did inclnations that too much govern CON-
merCial and social economy the year
round. In the JOY and iollity OF
the season men lay aside the feeling,
that direct them in the struggle for busi-
ness, and generosity, charity, and social,
pateTnal, and iraternA attachments, which
are enshrined as the cherished virtues Of
religion predominate. So II Christmas
has the buoyancy Of youth. 1t has the gene
rosity Of humanity and charity; If it has
the indiscretions OF excess, it has the picty
Of friendship and affection; and if it has the
frivolity Of iestIvity, it has the truthfuneSs
Of enthusiasm, the innocence Of mirth. All
the gentler and better impulses OF nature
are in the ascendant at this festive period.
and with all It's excess there are thousands
who are better men during il joyous days
than they are at any othertime Of the year.

ings, for we see you are impatient to 90

Goods. Follow Us, and we will show YOU

full, palatatle, useful, and attractive articles
