Christmas al Athens.

AIHrSs, la, Dec. 95th, ISL.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures the hard
times which have cast their shadows of
gloom and dependency over our people,
the inhabitants Of Athcnsnnd the surround
ing country mustered up courage ruough
to propose 10 have a Christmas Tree on the
evening of December 2Ith, and the PROPOSE
tlOn met with general favor. Owing to
the Stringcucy of the times display of
rare and costly gifts was not attempted
but the presents consisted principally Of
| articles Of clothing and other things Of
practical utility, and thus parents made
glad the hearts of their children aud ut the
same time give them donations of real
vnlnc. The committee on arrangements
deserves credit for their plan of procedure.
Tho tree selected ferthc occasion was ono

presents it was one of those lovely sights

ton of nature aud art. At about seven
O'Clock, the house being we'll filled with
both old and young, old Santa Claus made
his appearance in garments hcsprinklcd

friends in II comical manner, began the
distribution Of presents. The children
wcrc all made happy and that of course
gave pleasure to the old. After the distri-
button of presents the young people had
promenade party, which they enjoyed
hugely. Many tender words were uttered.
Youths with hearts aglow with love sought
uttcrancc for their sentiments in the love.

aud maidcns fair and lovely swerily
responded in accents low aud tender. aud
Tor aught that WE know the all important

Cupid's victims was decided either in the
negative or affirmative, but we dare not
say which. After the promenade was over,
and the pinus disciple, of Him whose
birthday they were celebrating had re-.
turned To their houses, u few OF the Young
people, "trippcd the light fantastic toe"

blushlngly kissed the Sabbath morn. The
occasion was enjoyed by every one present.
