Christmas Notes.
From Word and Works.

DO not put off your Christmas shopping
until the stores are crowded, then so many
pleasant possibilities will suggest themselves
when il is too late for realities. While there
is yet plenty OF time to plan, do your work
and your outlay will not be hurried and with
out forethought.
If you cannot put love and kindness in you
gift, and the bright hope that it will carry joy
to the heart of the receiver-don,t give.
Gifts made because it is expected of you
are of very little value. If you belong to the
worthy poor, who by hard work and economy
manage to live, or if you are in debt don't
make Christmas presents. Always keep
within your means. If you only have one
dollar you can spare, don't spend any more;
and the gift should be appropriate to the re-
cipient's circumstances.
1t is the suitableness and the motive which
prompted, that confers the most pleasure
it is not the expensive articles. Let your
good sense discriminate between the needs of
your rich and poor friends. A most valuable
gift too often finds its way to one that needs
it least. Don't send to some poor widow u
costly vase, when the money it cost will do
her so much more good Do not send an
opera cloak to your country friend. 1t takes
more head work than money to purchase
suitable Christmas gifts. Study the proper
adaptation of your gift.

Christmas Carols.

The fleeing moments are hurrying past and
Christmas will soon be here. The custom OF
singing Christmas Carols on Christmas morn
ing prevailed here up to a few years ago,
when it ceased, from some cause or other,
1t was regarded generally as a proper thing
to usher in the great festival OF the year with
sacred melody, and the desire has been ex-
pressed that the practice should be renewed;
Let the matter be taken in hand in time and
provision made for the occasion.

December.


The words of Bryant, applied to November.
are more applicable still to December:-'.The
melancholy days are come, the saddest of the
year" for December, we think, is justly en-
titled TO the distinction, unless in the public
Judgment January is entitled to share that
distinction also with the closing month of the
year. Cunningham. the poet, says of De-
cember-
Aquarius rules the frozen skies
Deep-frowning clouds on clouds arise,
Fraught with old Boreas' roar,
With fury heaves the raging main,
And foaming pillows lash in vain,
The hoarse-resounding shore.
When the year was divided by the Romans
into ten months, this division was called De-
cember, in reference to its numerical place
in the calender. By the ancient Saxons II
was called Winter mondt, Winter month"; but
after their conversion to Christianity they
designated it as Holiglt-moHGt, or holy month,
from the anniversary, which occurs in ii, OF
the birth of Christ. From the same circnm-
stance the modern Germans distinguish it as
Christ monaf. In this month occurred the
old Roman Saf,unalia, period marked by
general license and merrymaking, which has
given place to our own glorious festival o
Christmas.
