THE YEAR in lite even, onward ano
resissless tramp has reached another
Christmas, and the star in the east that
pointed out to the wise men, the birts
place OF Jesus of Nazareth will occupy
the same place In the heavens tonight
Il did nineteen hundred and one years
ago. Tomorrow will be Christmas Day,
and though there be some grabbed old
men and penurious old woman, who
would almost as soon see the devil, and
some Of younger years and more gener-
ous impulses, who for the sake OF being
singular, tell fb, and say they would
too. the vast msjority OF civilized hu-
msnity, including those to be found In
sour new possessions" will welcome 1t,
and II they have not longed for Its ar
rival, will, perhaps, regret Its departure.
It is the only real and general holiday
10 the South, and may the time be re-
mote when it shall cease to be observed
here with ell the festivities that have
ever marked Its annual return. Vir'
sinians formerly had the 22d Of Febru'
ary, aud the North still has New Years
and Decoration Day, but for variety
of reasons these have ceased to be. or
never were holidays In the South,
while Christmas remains % 1t ever was,
and as we hope 1t will ever continue to
be, the gay and festive season OF oil
races, ages, sexes sad condition OF
southern people. 1t lie time, too, e.
pecially for the exercise OF that charity
which islleth ss the gentle rain from
Heaven. and blesseth him that gives
and him that takes, so the poor
should not be forgotten in this
happy season. Let the needs OF the
deserving uofortunstes be looked after
and be 1t known, Notwithstanding the
claim that the country is bending under
the;weight ofgood times and prosperity,
many old and iDfrm people can be
found in our midst who are too proud
to allow their impoverished condition
to be made public. These should be
relieved, and the sleep Of those through
whom the needed relief shall come will
be the sweeter for it. The family re-
unions and social oomminglings Incl
dent to Christmas, and other customary
observances inseparately connected
with the day, make it the hsppiest OF
all the year. and supply fund of pleas
ant memories that will afford sweet,
though probably sad, consolation In the
dark days that the future may yet have
in store for US. Let 1t then be squeezed
dry Of all the proper, rational enjoy
ments 1t contains, and those will be the
wisest who extract the last drop of its
legitimate pleasures, and when over
they can utter 10 sincerely, Tiny
Tins "God bless us ALL"
