CHRISTMAS I'M THE ARMY.

How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George B. Mcclellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1861, to March, 1862, and most of it in
Virginia as far down the Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge
and as far out toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill. Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers
That year there was Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
homes of the large cities had come the
best in the market. From tens of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare.
On Christmas 1868, the army was
shivering along the rivers Rappahan-
mock and hapidan, and as far out as Gull
pepper Court House. TWAS too cold, and
the men were too poorly housed to en-
Joy the day. 1t was not holiday to
many-a day Of misery, instead. That
was the coolest Christmas the south
had seen for so years. and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order of
the day in 1864. The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, distance of nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
commissions had arranged to supply the
army with Christmas dinner. Few
men were overlooked Except that in
1861, it was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began.
There were many signs that the next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
and SO it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 80 to the evening
of April 8, alter Grant and Lee met at
Appomattox. milwaukee, Sentinel.

CHRISTMAS
IN
MERRY ENGLAND.

Written for the Review,
By REV. IF. w. BATESON.

England is never SO "merrie' as at
Christmastide. There are many sec
tional festivities, many national holi-
days. but the gala day of them all is
Christmas
Preparation for it is extensive and ex-
pensiye. The spirit of cordiality and
hilarity prevades the lords manor, the
merchants mansion and the laborer's
cottage. All spheres of society becomes
as full of festive joy as the land of
atmosphere.
No shop presents its usual appearance
in the Christmas season. Colored
decorations in artistic forms adorn door
and window, and wind, as if in frolic,
around jet and sill.
Before Christmas, exhibitions of live
stock have been held and the prize win
ners, killed and ready for retail in shop
windows, display record of their many
honors made in few years; and bear
ing colored cellarette. wearing and
waving Union Jack, they seem con-
scious of their contribution in making
the season merry Vessels and viands
of all descriptions are made their best
and bedecked their prettiest in recogni-
tion of the happy faces and sparkling
eyes which will surely be turned to-
ward them,
The social vies with the business life
to put gladness into the season and get
joy out of it. England is pre- -eminently
land of masters and of servants. But
in this season conventionalities are laid
aside largely. There is an exalting of
the lower without humbling of the
higher class Ills Christmastide, and
that is sufficient to, socially, level noun
tains and fill valleys putting, for sea-
son, all classes on plane in the posses
sion and enjoyment of peace and good
will.
The holly proudly decks cottage and
mansion. The mistletoe bough is
leisurely concealed but suddenly re-
vealed explaining at once the subse-
quent bliss and blush, Every servant,
public and private, always, but never
in vain, looks for his perquisite on
Christmas day. So the good cheer of
the rich is shown in giving and that of
the poorer is heightened by receiving.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1898-12-13

Christmas cards are dealt in profusely, |
so that it seems every acquaintance, al
most, must in this manner at least ex-
change compliments.
The children, at this season, seem
omnipresent. They persist in being
seen and heard. Christmas Eve the
streets resound with voices of different
groups of young folk going from house
to house singing Christmas carols,
While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks by Night, being a favorite at
such time. OF course, it sounds as if
this were the only time in the year
when their voices were raised in song,
yet they have sweet though rustic.
ring, and generally are rewarded with
mince pies and few coppers always
at hand at this season.
EARLY Christmas morning residents
are awakened at an unreasonable and
unreasonable hour by the voices of
street urchins Justify shouting "a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
Not once or twice only, but until day
dawns, gathering new recruits as the
hours pass they parade the town like
faithful sentinels.
But later the call comes not only for
the festive but for the worshipful also
for it is Christmas morning and that in
Old England-the bells from the church
tower Ginning peal forth in matchless
melody SO that the tongues of metal
seem to urge other tongues to hasten
the anthem soon to rise:
"Christians, awake, salute the happy morn.
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born.
But Christmas probably reaches its
climax when the sun reaches it's zenith,
at midday. Then after having devour-
ed many devices the far-famed English
plum pudding makes its appearance
and of this taking and tempting dish
"the swallows homeward fly until
many joyous one is too full for ut
terance. Thus passes the day. 1t is a
children's young folks and an old
folks day.
By many, the first six months of the
year Christmas is looked back upon as
the happiest experience in memory; the
second six months Christmas is looked
forward to as the season to come afford
ing the greatest anticipatory pleasure.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1898-12-13

The hour was late; the lights burned low
The fire but half dispelled the gloom:
A youth and maid. with cheeks aglow,
Sat silent in the room.
Twas Christmas eve. and half in jest
They would not say good night. because
They'd vowed to watch and do their best
TO see old Santa Claus.
Slow licked the clock: they said no word:
The solemn midnight hour drew near.
And still no telltale sound was heard
OF Santa coming near.
Twelve struck: and then, all suddenly.
A guest came in, surprised the pair;
1t was not Santa Claus. not he.
But Cupid that stood there!

CHRISTMAS CHEER.


At Christmas play and make good cheer.
For Christmas comes but once year.
-Tusser.
Be merry all. be merry all!
With holly dress the festive hall;
Prepare the song, the feast. the ball
To welcome merry Christmas.
w. r.. Spencer.
It is the Christmas time:
And up and down 'twixt heaven and
earth,
In the glorious grief and solemn mirth.
The shining angels climb.
ID. NJ Mulock
The time draws near the birth of Christ:
The moon is hid the night is still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in the mist.
-Tennyson.
Heap on more wood! the wind is dull.
But let it whistle as 1t will
Well keep one Christmas merry STILL
Sir Walter Scott.
This is the time when the very old man
Leaps back to the days of youth;
When brows and eyes wear no disguise.
But flush and CLEAN with truth.
Oh, then is the time Wnen tne soul eXulIs
And seems right heavenward turning;
When we love and bless the hand we
press,
When the Christmas log is burning!
Cook.
We speak of a merry Christmas
And many a happy New Year.
But each in his heart is thinking
OF those that are not here
-Longfellow-
They who do their souls no wrong,
But keep at eve tho faith of morn,
Shall daily hear the angel song,
To-day the Prince of Peace is born."
