The bird of dawn sings all night long, the wi tell's charm has lost its power, the quickened heart-beat gives the glow of youth, and merry voices make glad the sharp, crisp air. Pop-crackers, baby wakersand tooting horns are balm for the unstrung nerves, and the healing din and discord accompanied by peals of youthful laughter are music all. sweeter than the entrancing strains ot' the angel Israel. Deafness, ear-split ting detonations of ordinary seasons are at this enchanted season weird but melodious and ry mt binic symphony. Now it is that there is "l'once on earth ami goad will to men." Old scares ari" forgotten and the leaping, lurid glare of th?: cherry yule log plants smiles on the cynic's austere fae?.' and earth, for the season, is loosed in eestacy to make gay with the music of the spheres. The (iordiun knot ts slipped in the miser's purse strings and from the opening Hows a yellow tide which at ils ebb bears on its bosom precious cargoes of muttered blessings ami plans of praise. Wo are celebrating the birth of Christ anil the redemption of the world. Philanthropy and beneficent work are prac! iced and t liri ve like a t ree by many waters, but ialsc philanthropy, clonked in the garb of modern good cheer, too ?lten mais t he sane! itv and the real de light ?>l i lie occasion by profane and bestial desecration ol' a sacred least hallowed b\ the blood bought saids ol' two thousand years* redemption. Sad. sad ii is that t bought lui men will them selves spend tlii - joyous season in drunken ii dry; sadder. I bongil, that they take thisopportunity for almsgiv ing by placing the cup to their hroth er's lips! Would not a crumb ol' bread SUilice to secure a benediction ami a golden benison when- a draught hut fastens a millstone around two sinking souls, and damns instead ol' redeems? The season means m itch to Tm: Ivrr.i. I.II;I:M KU'S readers. Some there are who ?ire gay and joyous and scatter sunshine wherever they go: some, alas, whose hearts are troubled "for there's ii vacant chair, a lock of silver hairaud a loved one is sleeping there." Some there are, perhaps, who will now listen to Christinas chimes for the hist time on earth, for the tolling and the peal ing and the chiming make nj? Hw weary round of years. Some there may be whose barks will go out of the line of their wonted course siml bu lost in the great surging sea of humanity. Others, and let us hope they are not few, who are engaged in making beau tiful years, mark this another milestone along life's way in cheering worried hearts, soothing sorrow's heaving breast and supporting weak and totter ing age. To all our readers we wish a sweet and merry Christinas and many happy returns of that festive season. Abiy your pleasures be real pleasures unselfish, wholesome and unending in bearing fruit,--so that the sensor, be nota misnomer, but in deed and in fact a veritable Christ-mns. . .? il,.i' 11.MI. !(?.. i-ii \v .
