Christmas Thoughts.

There seems magic in the very name

H'w many old recollections, and how
many dormant sympathies, does Christ.

This ID the season of hospitality, mer-
riment and open heartedness, and many
are the hearts that are gladdened by its
oming.
The most minute and trivial circum.
stances connected with thoss happy
meetings crowd upon our minds at each
occurrence of that season.
Who cafi be insensible to the outpou,
ings OF good feeling, and the honest in.
exchange of affectiUnate attachment,
which abound at this season 0f the year
Would that Christmas lasted the wl,Ols
wear through las it ought and that the
prejudices and PASSIONS which deform
Dur better natures we're never called in
tn action among those to whom thev
would ever be strangers.
Christmas time! That man must be q
misanthrope, indeed, whose breast spne
lining like Il iovial feeling is not reused
-in whose mind solne pleas INT associa-
lion Is not awakened by the recurrence
vi Christmas.
The Christmas tree casts no glowing
shadow. But as it sinks into the around

This is kind, forgiviny, charitable,
pleasant time; the only time I know OF
in the long calendar of the year when
men and women seem by one consent to
open their shut-up hearts freely, and to
think of people below the n as if they
really were fellow passengers to the
grave, and not another race OF creatures
bound On other journeys.
Happy, happy Christmas that can win
