A Happy and Merry Christmas to all.

! There come times in the fife OF every
i. right thinking man when, down in the
centre of his heart, where Bulwer would
say his redeeming angel sits, the benev-
olence of his nature whispers to his
ruder impulses: "On earth peace, good
will, towards men"
No day in the year is so suggestive of
noble, conciliating feeling as Christmas.
The associations, reaching ont from the
centre to the circumference Of mans
earthly career, and all clustering about
the name, mission and death, as we'll as
the life of our Savior, spring into con-
genial effort to make him wise and
good.
Among all the Christian nations there
exists common thought associated
with the 2jth of December, thought
which points to glorious redeemer and
to the Immortality of man.
On this sacred day we should cast
aside every consideration that is calcu-
lated to mar or destroy our highest
appreciation of the scheme of redemp-
ton. AS peace and salvation made up
the object of Christ's mission Oh earth
and paved the way for our eternal hap-
piness, let us all hail the day with
thanks and gratitude, and let the bugles
of our earthly pursuits sing truce while
we enter upon the festivities of this
rlorinuS anniversary

The dance is founded on that of the
