Ye Christmas Time.

And now comes Christmas, bearing
gifts and words of cheer Let US haste
to open our hearts TO all its cheering and
cheerful influences. There may be many
festival occasions, but there are none to
equal the long-observed Christmas time.
Let there be no .Scrouges in mile Of
anywhere to-day.
Shake of, o my friend, the gloom that
may have held thee in its clasp these
many weeks, yea, as many months, per-
haps. Make up your mind TO let Joy pre-
vail this glorious era Of Christmas time
1t has been twelve long, wearisome
months since last it gave us occasion to
mingle together in pleasurable rejoicings.
1t will be as many months before 1t comes
again. Let us make the most of it, Re-
joice, o my soul, and teach others to re-
joice, despite the hard times.
II was intended that the heart Of man
should rejoice"
Sordid and selfish Is he who would be-
grudge the pleasurable hours that are in
cident to it. For nearly nineteen hundred
years ii has been the right and privilege Of
mankind to keep Christmas. AS long as
time lasts the Christian world will OBJ
serve u with rejoicings. Let US observe It
in proper spirit 1t Is an occasion when
we should get pleasure from giving pleas
of pleasure. The mere qualification Of
the senses cannot be regarded as afford
ing true pleasure. Let conversion come
to the long-indulged selfish heart and it
admits that it has experienced little of
genuine pleasure so long as self alone was
gratified. True pleasure should be sought
after by every man. 1t
is legitimate object Of pur
suit to every human life. There are
f.Isr I'll
ures. Let US not make the mistake Of
choosing amiss. Pleasure is a necessary
reciprocal, says my Lord Chesterfield no
one feels who does not at the same time
give it. To be pleased one must please.
No period of the year affords so glorious
an opportunity for pleasure as that that
is now upon us-the merry, merry
Christmas time.
Let us open wide the doors of our hearts
TO the gracious influences. This last OF
the fifty-two weeks of 1898 we will make
the bright oasis spot Of what may have
been desert year. II Is the fountain by
the roadside at which we will refresh our
selves for the further continuance of
life's journey. Drink and pass the cup.
Give all the JOY thou canst.
Thou mayst not have an
opportunity again to give pleasure to thy
fellow voyager upon the sea OF time
Hand the cup of refreshment to some one.
II may be thy brother, thy wife or thy
child, or merely thy neighbour not related
by ties of blood. IL matters not so thou
offerest the cup of pleasure TO some one.
There are but three rounds in the lad
der Of human Joy, pleasure, contentment,
happiness. True pleasure brings CON
tentment, contentment implies happi-
ness. Let thy soul rejoice on this coca
sion and let 1t teach others to rejoice
Thou canst not rejoice alone. The divine
giver of JOY decreed it So,

their full share toward the city's ex-
penses. They not only pay license for
conducting their business, but in addition
a license of S25 for every car they run,
and in addition, the city tax upon the
assessed valuation of their property,
amounting in itself, believe, to about
81 400 for each railway.
1t is well known that the street rail
ways are making no money upon their in
vestments, but if anything are running at
a loss. They are owned largely by citizens,
whose enterprise has given us the best
street railway system in the south and
/, for one, am opposed to increasing
their burdens at present. ] do not see
that the pole tax need be applied to street
railways anyway, as they conduct an en-
tirely different business from the tele-
phone and telegraph companies"
The council has not yet fixed the tax
upon poles, but will PROBABLY do so at a
meeting of the committee of the whole TO
complete the budget, Tuesday night.

CRIST OF THE COURTS.
Notions Argued Before Judge Robert
FdlIigalt.

Will He Give the Plaintiffs in the Ep-
stein & Wannbacher Suit the
Funds Before the Supreme Court
Has Decided the CaseP-The Motion
Argued NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Gases
in the City Court.
Things were quiet around the court
house yesterday and, as is usual on Sat.
urday, there was change of venue.
The city court which does civil business
almost all the week, disposes Of its crimi-
nails Saturdays and the superior court,
which, at the beginning of every term,
has quite string of criminals on hand,
daily takes rest from this work on Sat
urdays and transacts a little civil bust
ness. .t"
The greater part of the day in the
superior court was consumed in arguing
The motion filed in the Epstein and Wann-
5acher case by Messrs. Denmark &
adams in behalf of Mr.. S. Herman and
Mrs. Joseph, which asks that the court
turn over to them the proceeds from the
property now in the hands of the receiver
Dut which have been awarded to them by
the court. The money is being held by the
court pending the decision of the supreme
there by Messrs. Boykin, Seddon & Co..
aud others who did not come in. as pre-
ferred creditors.
Under the verdict and judgment rem
qered in this case Mrs. Joseph and Mr..
Herman are entitled to the funds in the
hands of the receiver, less his compensa-
llon, and the ground on which they ask
mat the money be turned over to them is
mat while the bill of exceptions has been
IN 4
oond was given, and it seems that the
code provides that a bill of exceptions
snail not operate as supersedeas unless
pond be given or pauper affidavit filed
In lieu of bond
The attorneys for these parties there
lore claimed that under the code and the
ueclslons of the supreme court the 1udg-
nent in favor of their clients is BILE
m the absence of a supersedeas, and that
tne cases where parties proceed on a
Judgment that has not been superseded,
are not uncommon
The attorneys for the other side claimed
nat the decree had been superseded, but
mat 1t had not been necessary to give
1old, as the money was in the hands of
ne court, and was perfectly safe. The
notlon was resisted by Messrs. Saussy 81
Saussy, Harden. West g. McLaws, and
Ggha5,rrltou. Mackall & Anderson. Judge
lall2ant took the papers in the case and
reserved his decision. The Epstein and
Nann6acher case is before the supreme
,o9rt, but will not come up for a hearing
before that body until the March term.
