CHRISTMAS, 1854, dawus cOmfortless on
napv home. More probably than for
nunber ofyears. For work is scant, and
not less than $4,000 families are out Of en-
ployment in North Eastern Ohio, West Viz
GINA and Western Pennsylvania. Those
who have work in many cases have it at re-
duced wages, while neither the prices OF
food aud raimeut or their own mode Of liv-
ing have correspondingiy assimulated with
the new order of things. These pinching
tines viii continue for some months, and
there will be thousands of unemployed
workingmen seeking relief before the peO-
pie can adapt themselves TO the conditions
wrought by oyerproductiOn and consequent
Il hard times. The Union and her people,
however, have wonderful latent resources,
and in short time they are bound to come
TO the front and restore all branches of in
dustry to a wholesome, but no hot house,
condition, in which the workingman viii
thrive relatively with the moneyed man,
but in which there will be less
chance for speculation and the rapid
accumulation of great fortunes. In the
meantime let those who have plenty un-
loosen their purse strings bountifully. Do
not blind your eyes to the want around you.
It is on every hand and in all conditions.
Just make a little effort on this good day to
peep into the by-ways and see who is needy,
There is q thousand wars to 60 1t too, that
will rot cause ofrense, and you will never
miss it. 1t will come back ten fold and you
will feel as glad, after the kind deed is doae,
as the little ones, whose stockings ere laden
ed from the capacious pouch OF Santa
aus, when they spy them from under the
tG covers this Christmas morn.
