STRENGTH.
M MosR.
strength is born,
In the deep silence of fIong-suffering hearts,
Not amid fnv u

with 81 Joy ana sorrow, peace ana war,
love and hatred, plenty and starvation
to the many homes throughout thi.
land, which afforded secure refngc
to the Pilgrim Fathers. The carly
settlers most sanguine imagination
never conceived the extent of their
venture in strange land and among
. strong people, and as there were no
j Mathuselahs among then,. none were
cognizant of these United States, where
on this holy time brothers waged war
against brothers, the son against the
father. This Christmas time aroused
, feelings and thoughts which cIung
, with strange tenaeity around their
hearts but which was concealed with
proud stoicism. The church choirs
throughout the country sang ont the
angelic anthems, "Glory be TO God in
the highest and on eurth peace and
good viii to men," sweetIy annouDc-
ing TO angry brothers that though
WARS may come and wars may go,
Gods praise goes on forever"
The winter was extremely cold and
much suffering was borne, both il
camp and city, which even humane
people could not always know to re-
liege. This Christmas was celebrated
| by the differet classes of inhabitants
of New York city in their yarians
manners, among which we will select
the palatial residence of Colonel George
Leighton. People said that il was one
of Mrs. Leighton's wbiBs TO give an
audience to paupers every Christmas
Eve, and that she permitted herself to
become a martyr for fifteen hours, in
/ listening to their troubles and endeay-
ing to relieve them. Mrs. Lctitia
Leighton was regally hadsome
woman, who spent her own fortune in
charity. She inherited large fortune
from her father, and married very
wealthy man.
This Gath of December, 1868, has
reached the hour, when stores, streets
and dwellings are lighted, and when
Mrs. Leighton has seated herself in a |
comfortable arm chair, wearied with |
attending to the wants of her poor |
