CHRISTMAS.

Those who delye into divine things have
materially differed in regard to the day OF
Christ's nativity. Some have said that the
birth Of he God child took place on the
25th or Goth OF December, while others find
it took place on the Goth of April. Such
disputations are of little consequence. By
common consent Christmas is fixed on
the 18th of December The Christian
world loves 70 dwell upon the
event. Accepting the logic OF sacred and
Profane history, provided there be such
thing as ''profane'' history, the world be-
ieves that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judea. That is enough. We are not
particular about the day Of the month.
Chronological tables may get wrong.
The event did not startle the world. Not
babe in palace, nor yet in cottage-only
babe in a msnger-and vet since the dawn
of creation no birth had such wonderful
announcement. Let us see. The record says:
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping
watch over their hocks by night. And 10,
the angel of the Lord came upon them. and
the glory Of the Lord shone round about
them, and they were sore afraid. And the
angel said unto them: Fear not, for, be-
hold, bring you good tidings Of great Joy,
which shall be to all people, for unto you is
born this day, in the city of Daria, Savior,
which is Christ, the Lord And this shall be
a sign unto you. Ye shall find tie babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a
manger.'" It was a strange announcement.
After the angel had delivered the message
something else occurred.
"And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude OF the heavenly hosts praising
God and saying, Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace, good will toward men,"
Nor is this all. The wise men, when they
had heard Herods orders, departed, when
so, the Star which they saw in the East
went before them till it came and stood over
where the young child was and they pre-
scented unto Him gifts, gold and frankincense
and myrrh." Such is the record. The angel,
the heavenly host, the declaration, peace
good will toward men. the Star. the maDger,

A DOGS LONG JOURNEY.

Making His Way From Green Bay, Wis, to
His Old Home in New York.
New York Sun.
In the Sun of the Sth inst. saw an ex-
tract from an Indiana paper stating that a
dog had walked LOCO miles-from New Or
leans to Aurora in that State. This incident
reminds me of one that happened many
years ago. the truth of which can honestly
vouch for. In the year 1S47 1 resided with
my brother in-law, George Snyder, my two
sisters, and my mother, st l60
Forsyth street, near Rivington. this
city. In the lower part of the house
lived Mr.. William LOwber, who for many
years was attached to the old Courier and
Enquirer, then edited by James Watson
Webb in Wall street, near Pearl, as collector
OF marine and foreign news. The drowning
OF an estimable young physician, Lewis
Beach, who was engaged 10 the daughter of
Mr.. Lowber, by the accidental upsetting of
Mr.. Lowber's news boat in the rapids and
whirlpool of He'll Gate, so deeply affected
the mind of Mr.. Lowner that he determined
to abandon his occupation and to settle in
the West. Accordingly, he purchased a farm
somewhere near Green Bay, Wis, where he
moved with his family, and where, no doubt,
as he was then advanced in years he has
been long gathered to his fathers.
Among other objects he obtained for the
purpose of stocking his farm was a large
dog, presented to him by friend in Brook
Ign, which he intended to employ in the
profitable occupation of butter churning.
Before taking the dog TO Wisconsin he con-
fined him in the yard of the house in which
we lived for several weeks. The animal was
mild and gentle. and OF a very afiectionate
nature. His many good qualities soon won
for him IL regard and the compassion of
our family, especially OF my mother, who
kindly attended all his wants

On seeing his dear old friend he uttered a
cry of delight and pleasure and feebly tot

weeks he recovered his former strength, and
we hoped we would never part with him
again. We were sadly disappointed. In
few weeks more the gentleman from Brook

A PATHETIC LOVE-STORY
About a Sweet Girl Who Wrote Poems and
Student Who Was n Scoundrel.
TBoston Letter TO the Chicago Trfbunel


Boston Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
There was put into my hands the other
day a thin volume of poems, beautifully
bound in tcoled morocco and printed for
private circulation among the friends of the
author, brilliant and gifted woman who
died last summer, scarcely in her prime.
Turning over its leaves one who knew
her sad story was able to read between
the lines and understand the bitter
ness of soul in which the lyrics
must have been written, al
though the sorrow they breathe is too deep
to find relief in bitter words. Some
years ago the poet, Miss, while a student
in Agassiz' school at Cambridge, became en-
gagged to the son of one OF the Professors at
Harvard Neither Harvard University. where
he was studying, nor Heidelberg
where he was going for profession
al training. would grant him a diploma
as a married man, yet he was unwilling
to 90 to Germany without having bound his
fiance to him by legal ties. She con-
scented at last to his urgency and the mar
riage was celebrated privately, yet in
on Episcopal Chapel and in the presence of
the families OF the contracting parties. For
the first year or two after going abroad the
husband wrote to his young wife who was
still known under her maiden name, and
who was devotedly attached TO him. Then
by degrees his letters became less frequent
and the dTeary old story of desertiOn was
repeated. The wife refused to believe. for

She had meanwhile been as faithful in
thought as in deed. Her attractiveness made
her the recipient Of many attentions, but
she rejected them all, acting her part with a
sweetness and fOrtitude which won her de-
voted friends OF those she would not coun-
tenance as lovers. When the proof of her
husbands baseness could no longer be gain
said she obtained legal separation. but she
was wounded in her very soul. she was
brilliant and finely educated woman, with
varied gifts, and to the cultivation Of these
she devoted herself with q feverish energy
which told those who knew her story OF the
ferceness of the unrest within. Her husband
has never revisited this country.
