A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Again the procession of the sea- sons has brought our old world to the season of joy, good will and good cheer: and again have stopped in their mad rush fer wealth, honors, place and power,-or for a mere existence-busy men and women who pause to commemorate the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem, whose short yet remarkable life has wrought an influence so vast upon all the generations of men who have come and gone through al- most twenty centuries, that the mind is lost in wonder when in contemplation of its extent and stupendousness.
 With the suspicious anniversary comes the thought-or the inquiry Why should the season of good will last no longer than through the week of the Nativity? Why should not the same feeling of uni versal good will extend through the fifty-one weeks beside this one in the year? That the tendency is in that direction there is no doubt Each generation occupies advanced ground, and the student of the customs and manners of mankind discerns much that is encouraging in the steady and general advance to higher and better things. Many customs and practices that were considered all right, or were toier. ated at least, a generation ago, arc now prohibited by public senti' ment if not by law. And there ii arising sentiment that will en- large the list of prohibitions. | may seem slow of growth, but tht growth is sure, and it is along th' lines laid down by the founder 0 Christianity nearly two thousand years ago.
 But there is already much fo which to be thankful, and men ant women and children, all over tn world can greet one another thi happy anniversary with cordia and heartfelt wishes for
