FEsTIvALs-oTHER CELEBRATIONS.
Christmas has come and gone, and the jinglins
of the sleghbells of Santa Claus is dying away in
the distance That he visited New-York this year
as usual. thousands Of happy children can testify;
but the puzzle in the matter is what the nocturnal
saint found to sleigh on. There was no snow
not a trace of it, and no ice except in storehouses
and coolers. The weather the most remark
able feature of Christmas in this city. Shades Of
Washington Irving What is Christmas without
snow? Mr.. Pickwick, would your steamng punch
have been so palatable without frost on the
window-panes? And would not half the fun Of
your celebrated Christmas been lacking had there
not been good ice on which Mr.. Wrinkle might il
lustrate bad skating? Christmas traditions would
better be laid on the shelf. The informal seasons
pay no regard to precedent in these Degenerate
days. Blue skies and mild temperature, sug-
gestive of that of New-Orleans, were what New
Workers had to endure. But there were signs OF
enjoyment everywhere. The happy bells rang.
though they did not ring across the snow. The
mistietoe hung in many hall, and no home was
too poor to be without sprays of evergreens.
Churches of nearly all denominations held
services. and the mild morning brought forth the
people in hosts The attendance everywhere
good The services. even in churches that have
no ritual, were more elaborate than usual, and
the stores OF excellent music written to celebrate
the holy season were drawn upon with liberality
and taste.
Many of the Sunday had Christmas
trees, and throughout the city. in private houses
as well as in public institutions, there were
Christmas trees galore. The trade done by
the toy dealers this year was simply enormous.
and through the kindly efforts of that part OF the
public, SO large in New-Yorlx which is never
weary in seasonable well-doing the children Of
the poor as well as the children of the rich.
are the pleased possessors of new playthings!
To take one instance. there was no pIettier sight
anywhere than the children's ward at Bellevue
Hospital, where heavily laden fir gladdened
the hearts of the little ones The newsboys and
the other hand -tO-mouth" children of the streets
had trees and sprees of their own. None Of
them went to bed hungry.
For people who like amusement on holiday.
there plenty provided. The plays, concerts.
and outdoor games. all had their crowds of
admiring on-loolSers and listeners. The summer
like weather caused many New-Yorkers to take
little run into the country. The Staten Island
ferry boats were crowded, and outing parties took
possession of all the other pleasant places within
easy distance Of the city. A doleful old proverb
says that a green yule makes fat kirkyard." 4"
