Chris tuas.

Again the blessed Christmas approaches,
which brings its SORROWS and its Joys alike
to ALTO the young, pleasure in abundance
10 the Old the remembrance Of the many
happy ones that have past never again To
return and to the little children the happy
anticipation Of tho beautiful presents that
they will receive from the loved ones
Many, many changes have occurred since
the last blessed Christmas. Death has Wis
tied many of our households and torn from
US the idols of our hearts many of our
hopes have been blasted, and all that was
held dear torn from us; our best friends de-
throued, and we cast upon the tender
merces of the stranger. Yet tnere is one
whom we can always turn to i'll the bltterest
hours of our distress, and who wlllsalways
lend willing ear TO our complaints, no
matter what they may be- When we return
to Him. like the Prodigal, we are welcomed
and the fa,ted calf is killed and ring is
put upon our finger and new garment
given us, and the Father rejoices at our re
turn from that far country where we have
seen the misery and want that our sin and
folly have led us into. We have all made
resolutions On Christmas, but we never
kept them, and thereby insulted that boun
teous Father who has been SO kind and in
dulgent to Us in all our waywardness and
rebellion. We fursake him in our pros
perity. But let adversely aud misfortune
overtake Us, and We cry out to Him in our
distress, but rs soon as we again begin to
prosper He is forgotten.
shall never forget the remark of min
lister of this city, which was: GOD is
afraid to trust some people with money, for
as soon as they begin to prosper they forget
TO give Him thanks for their prosperity,
and therefore He brings them down again
to the dust. Can we say, in the language of
Job, Though He Stay me, yet will trust
Him."
Let us all who, like the Prodigal, have
wandered off into that fur country of sin
and intemperance, come back to our Father
and He will receive US kindly and attend to
all our wants, and set us down with Him in
His house that we may be with Him al
ways. He has promised to pardon and
forgive us if we only ask Him in faith be-
lieving.
He is even now standing at the door of
our hearts and knocking for admittauce,
that He may come in and sup with US, and
we with Him.
And, again, on this blessed Christmas He
is waiting for us, and still we are sighting |
him.
He mas waited long. is waiting still,
We treat no other friend 80 i'll
Admit him, ere his anger burn,
His feet, departed, neer return.
Now let us ut this blessed time ask par.
don Of all those whom We have wrouged,
and pardon all those who have wrouged US,
and Join in that cantic|e, GLORY be to God
10 the Highest and on Earth Peace and
Good Will to Men, ToUJOURS PREF.

THE CHANGE. The Lynchburg Tirqiuio

THE CHANGE. The Lynchburg Iirgiaian
says: The resignation Of Hon. John S.

years, will be deeply regretted by the peo
pie living along the line of the road. with
whom he had grown to be familiar figure,
and as almost part Of that great enter
prise which he, in the face Of serious obsta-
cles, pushed through the centre of Virginia,
from North to South: from the Potomac TO
the Carolina line. Fortunately, Mr.. Bar
bcur will be succeeded by a Virginian, Col.
Buford, who has had large experience as a
railroad manager, and who will do all be
can to promote the interests of the Com
monweaIth. But candor compels US to say
that we do not like the virtual consolida.
ton of the Richmond aud Danville and
the Midland Railroads. and fear that it
bodies no good to Lynchburg, Alexandria,
or Danvlle. The Danville people are now
just where they were before the Danvlle
extension was made from this city-without
wholesome competition as to freiehts,
though Lynchburg will still have compel

The ONLY Virginian whose feelings to-
ward his neighbors are not softened and
mellowed By the emotions incident to the
present holiday season is General Malone.
He, through his organ, persists even during
the Christmas festivities, in denouncing the
white people of his State and in charging
them with qualifying suffrage, against all
laws and constitutions, by fraud and bull
doing. But, fortunately for the people OF
Virginia, the General now blows against
the wind, and no body minds what he says.
Few reputable people now let his organ
come into their houses.
