CHRISTMAS.

It has been urged against the Ameri-
can people, with considerable provoca-
tion IL must be confessed, that they de-
vote too little time to the enjoyment of
those festal occasions which have been
universally agreed upon by all civilized
nations as days to be set
apart from the ordinary
humdrum routine of daily life. The
American people are mexorably in a
hurry and to our pushing, seething, am
bilious population the time expended in
celebrating holidays seems often to be
thrown away. The fault lies not with
the people themselves, but with the en-
vironments that always invest a young
and growing nation. We have not yet
finished building mp America. We look
with comrlacency upon the sedate and
hearty way in which the mother country
enjoys her holidays and promise the
same for ourselves at some distant day
when the nation shall have been
substantially reared and we have little
breathing spell TO devote TO recreation.
The holiday sentiment is, however,

That the Bristol county people will
receive from the New York, New Haven

That The Journal will hunt up pleas
