$ T'IEHzS #ON SUNDAYH IFS IND
 SJND4Y OBSER HINGE Published by Rpqnest.1
IPublished by Request.

h the year 1897 an attempt was made to get the imperial Govern meat to insist upon an observance of Sunday, and this brought forth the following reply from Napoleon l I. He said Ut is contrary to divine law to hinder D man who has wants on Sunday as well as on other days, to work on Sunday in order to gain his bread. The Gov ernment imposes such q law without giving bread gratis to those who have none Besides, il is not the failing of the people Of France to work too much. Ne have seen the public force employed in constrain- ing persons To celebrate the tenth day and work on Sunday (during the revolution, when weeks were abolishea), and we should guard against the necessity of employing gendarmes to hinder men who stand in need of what they earned from working on Sunday h both cases there is either political or religious superstition.
 "God has made work a necessity and he wishes men to work every day, because he has given them wants which are renewed every day We must distinguished in what is prescribed by the clergy between the really religious laws and the obli- gations which have been invented with the view of extending the au thority of ministers of religion The observances of fasting are secondary and very insignificant rules. What touches essentially the commands of the church is not to interfere with social order, not to do i'll to one's neighbor, nor to make an abuse of liberty You must not l reason with, but laugh at, priests who make such regulations. l do not oblidge them to give dissolution against their will, and I shall not permit them to force me to throw the peasant who works. on no mat ter what day, into prison.
 Since my authority is invoked n this matter, give to my people, and forever, the right of not in terrupting their work. The more work the less vice there will be. If must take part in this affair, l should prefer to order that on Sun day directly after mass all the shops be opened and the people return to their work Since people eat every day, let them work every day. The compulsory powers lie in exhortations from the pulpit, and the police and prison should never be used as a means to enforce the practices of religion. Boston h- cest,gator.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is here-the merriest and happiest day of all the year. It is an event looked forward to with many anticipations by old and young, gay and grave. Itis time of good cheer and rejoicing. Peace on earth. good will to men, is echoed any re-echoed in every heart, and all the world seems in love with the universe. It is a season when all cares give way to universal reioic- ing, and for a period, at least past sorrows and disappointments are forgotten in the happy yule tide.
 Santa Claus is king of the hour, He yields no mighty seeptre of power, as kings, rulers and poten tates do, but he is enshrined in the hearts of countless millions who dc him homage and reverence on this good day. Dear old Santa Claus What would the world do without him? What rich, rare and good natured old fellow he is. He tolls and works three hundred and sixtyfour days in the year in order that he may distribute his presents and have a royal good time on the three hun dred and sixty filth.
 In some mysterious manner he enters our homes unseen and uadis- covered. and distributes his presents and fills the stockings of our dear little ones, and then steals away as mysteriously as he came. Whlther he goeth or whither he cometh we know not. He comes to bless, cheer and make happy the hearts of his good children, and then lights bis pipe and hides away in the deep SC clusion. of his far-away home. He is the incarnation of iollity. good humor, merriment and mystery. lie loves and is beloved, and this morn ing millions of happy little children as they pour from the abundance of their stretched stockings, are singing his praises. Long be the happy and sanctified memories of this blessed Christmas. Blessed be
 the giver and receiver, and to one < and all we wish Q merry Christmas en0 2 happy New Year.
