A Meeting for IA Fire Engine.

\ meeting of the citizens of Elkton to
consider the eXpediency of steam fire en-
CINE for the use of the town will be held at
the business office of Smith y Shockley,
auctioneers, on Thursday evening next at
I o'clock. The Friendship Engine Co., of
Wilmington, Del, have, We learn, an ex-
ceient steamer for sale aud the movement
here looks To its possible purchase. This is
"a matter that should be taken hold of by
every property owner IN Elktnn. The fire
appliances of the town are simply a burles-
que, and it certainly is bad policy to wait
until we suffer some such public calamity
as Salisbury recently sustained, and then
move in the matter. In Other words it is
poor form to lock tho stable door after the
horse is stolen. 1t is true that good water
supply is a necessary preliminary To Il sue
method, have been suggested to this end.
These are important local qucsti ms, and
should be sensible considered. Right now
is the time To do it. This litEle appeal il
not written in the interest OF some tire in
surance company. Ii is penned in behalf of
the needed protection OF every property
owner in Elkton.

word of discussion either political or
secular in this our Christmas issue.
We shall in one edition at least out
of fitty-wo ignore politics.
Nor we opine will any one be the
loser thereby.
We surrender to the spirit of the day,
with the necessary report of local hap
penings, our entire space.
Let everybody be as happy as they
can be.
Let them seek happiness by making
others happy.
Let them sing, and be merry.
But not by the inspiration of intoxi-
eating beverages.
Close your lips to them and shut
them out of your house.
Let your mirth be the legitimate re-
suit OF your absolute surrender TO SOCIAL
and domestic courtcsies and amenities.
Dance if you want to but not to jeop-
ardize health.
For that next to life is Gods richest
blessing to us ali.
Dance and be merry within the
limits Of propriety and good taste, with
the innocent mirth of the young, while
the aged sit by and look lovingly on.
Let sectarians for one day in the year
forget their perplexing creeds, and en-
brace within the broad communion OF
Christian charity, all who hope torcach

good will. Though many of it ancient
customs have passed away, and are
known only to antiqusries, yet the spirit
remains the same, and Christmas time
should still be the season wh~n the old
grow young again in the recollection of
the past whose memory never dies.
Charles Dickens, who wrote SO much
to keep alive a decent respect for
Christmas customs, has inimitably de-
scribed the chldess old curmudgeon
who sneercd at it and dcrided its OBJ
servances. But he was an old man,
alone in the world, and with bitterness
in his heart. Him we can pity and
forgive. But what shall we say of those
VINO in the spnngtimc of youth and
hope make sport of its venerable asso-
Citations and vote it a bore? In the
pride of knowledge which has come
upon US, the rising generations of young
America are strongly disposed to this
sort OF Cynicism. But the mattcr-of-
fact youth will think differently by and
by. The precocious youngster OF his
age sees all the journey of life before
him, and is eager to press on but ere
long he will reach mile stone on the
road where he will rest and wistfully
look back over the path he will never
again tread. Then he will count his
years and think painfully how few re-
man to him. Then he will selling to
his Christmas and grapplc with them in
the vain hope to make them stay. But
the spirit that is born of the Christmas
time no man should be too old to cher
ish, no one too young to disregard.

blessed reign has once more Desul'
We welcome the advent OF the hoary
old king, and as his dutitul subject pay
him our hearticst allegiance.
We welcome him for the good sPHit
which attends his coming, and which
brings peace and good will in it's tram.
For the charitable impulses which warm
the hard heart, and make warm hearts
still warmer
Who should not welcome his adj
vent?
Is it not the time to open the heart
to the genial influence of his presence
Is it not the season of congratuatlon
and good fellowship? Is it not the
time to feel home the dearer, and to
make good resolves for the next year.
to encourage determination and to
remove the gathering causes which tret
INTO life, and impede our tranquil pro-
gress to eternity?
1t is good for US all to indulge these
ideal moments of resolve, even though
they may never bear fruit. Such days
indeed are holy days for they afford US
time to repent Of past follies, moreover,
what is better. to redeem them.
We may forget sometimes the higher
motives of the festival which brought
"peace and good will to men" Which
held up to our admiration and imlta-
ton ages ago in that little town among
the olive gardens the highest ideal to
which man may attain. But the SIM
pie lesson, the domestic JOY and the
individual good will, there are none too
indifferent to profit by.
What a Christmas indeed it would
be if every man and woman in the land
determined to forgive one enemy, or
make one person happy besides them
selves on this day. Easy forgiveness
it might be-a friendly smile-possibly
an out stretched hand-and yet before
nightfall It would be as if truce with
God" had been proclaimed throughout
the land, and by that one shake OF the
hand, several millions of people would
hane done more to spread practical
Christianity, than all the pulplts OF the
land combined, could accomplish dur
ing the year that follows,
