THE STUART MONUMENT.

Major Venable was justified and more
in subscribing 500 to the Stuart mon
ument fund, and our hope is that a
much larger sum will be realized.
There are scores Of now venerable and
respected citizens Of Prince Edward,
who in the flower and strength Of young
manhood delighted to follow the black
plume of that prince Of cavalry leaders.
II was under his leadership that the
Prince Edward troop received its first
real baptism Of fire. 1t was during the
memorable retreat from Yorktown to
Richmond when McClelland had Sc
iecied that route to the capital OF the
Confederacy, and at Grove Landing,
over the James. The Federals had got
ten the troop cut of from the rest Of
the army and had blocked the road
with artillery. To the men Of the
ranks things looked blue, but Stuart
was there, as bright as MONDAY, and
led out Of the trap with colors flying
and bugles blowing.
we suggest that each surviving men,
Der ct the troop, Co. X, 3rd Va. Caval-
ry, begin an earnest and active .an-
yass IN this good cause, and let Prince
Edward do her whole duty to the /
memory Of this immortal Virginian.

cHRISTNAS AGAIN.

Time slips through quickly" wrote
Elizabeth Fry, and did she not write
truly? Here We are on the threshold
OF another Christmas when ii seems
that our feet have scarcely left that Of
the Christmas Of 1901. The roses were
blooming iD our gardens but yesterday
and now the snow flakes gather in the
skies above US. The new light flash
lng from the eyes Of the young, the
bursting Of an occasional fire cracker,
the erowding Of our toy stores, the
smell Of fruit cake about the home, the
smuggling ofsuspicious looking bun
dies into secret places, the quick COM
ing Of shutdown, the filing, marking
and sending away Of boxes. the gobble
Of the cOop-confned victim, the stereo-
typed complaints Of the season." to

communications which are generally
so free OF sentiment, all combine to re-
mind US that the day, first heralded by
song Of angels, is upon US again. Are
we ready for its coming ready 20
catch up the song anew and from the
heart sing, peace on earth, good will
among men % If so then its coming
will be benediction though il moves
Us one wear nearer TO the gateway OF
the grave.
But some may be asking, as was ask
ed by another: "But is old, old, good
old Christmas gone? Nothing but the
hair Of his good gray old head and
beard left?n If so, friends, add this
too: "Well, l will have that, seeing l

Ter into the spirit Of the season, the

Others so. Washington Irving says
Ale who can turn churlishly away
from contemplating the felicity Of bis
fellow-being, and can sit down doubt

when all around is joyful, may have
his moments Of strong excitement and
selfish qualification, but he wants the
genial and social sympathies which
constitute the charm Of merry Christ

THE TEACHER.

What mistaken ideas the scholars
entertain Of their teachers. The writer
remembers when at school, to have
been fully impressed with the notion
that his teacher had absolute aversion
10 recess and horror Of holidays. His
school room was, as he reasoned, bis
throne, and abdicatiOn, even for an
hour, cost struggle. The delight OF
his existence was to have at least some
boys miss their lessons so there should
be the excuse Of keeping in" aud so
prolOng school hours.
We have learned to know better, and
to realize that the tired teacher loves
the open air and the freedom OF out
door exercise just as much as does the
scholar, and that his or her eyes bright
en- as the holidays approach just as do
those Of the young, the bouyant, the
more hopeful. DEVOTED to their ardu-
Gus work, as most of them are, giving
to it a loyalty and love of finest sort,
ready to spend and be spent in its dis
charge they still do love to lay down
the burden now and then, and do re-
joice in the more than one day for
Christmas just as the youngest of those
they teach do.
Mother never stoIs when the baby
cries, but o, how delightful the rest
when il does come. So with the faith
ful teacher. Unstinted effort, unselfsh
devotion until the closing hour and
then a sigh Of relief.
Happy Christmas for teachers and
scholars is the Herald's sincere wish.
