Centurie.-. begin with units and ends with ciphers. Nine teen hundred years will un1, have been completed until ll IUD full years have passed. Thc year that is now nearly com ploted is tho ninety-ninth year and it will take ono more tu make a hundred, and then thc twen tieth ecuiury will begin and will bo called HMM. Now I have had tho conclusion as tho lawyers say. and so let the discussion stop and tho case bc submitted to tho jury. Christmas is herc no matter whore t li tr twentieth century begins and wo arc going to enjoy it. One day in soven is not enough - wc want a whole week at the ? nd ol' tho year, and accord i ny li? scriptur?! it i- a good tinny to have a winde year in seven--ayear of jubilee when oven tho land wo till shall have rest and , time to recover itself and renew its wasted energies. Blessings on tho he ly fathers who established tho Christ mas holidays, and on the yood men , who for eighteen centuries have pro- I .served it for us and our children. It j is a blessed heritage and belongs to all alike-the rich and tho poor, tho bond and thc free, the king and his subject. Hut those good old w ay s arc changing and becoming circumscribed. 3Iankind is growing too stingy of time. Christmas used to last from tho 125tli of December to tho (Uh of .January, and for twelve days there was neither work nor toil, nor oflicial business, nor | suits for debt, dunning, cor prepara- | tions for war, but all was peace ami pleasure and kindly foldings. The peasant was on a level with tho prince ! and thc boys and girls wore chaplets of ivy and laurel and holly and ever green, and it was no sin for them to take a sly kiss ?yhile tho rosemary wreaths encircled their brows, for a kiss under the rose was an emblem of inuocence and had the sanctiou of heaven, and lovo whispered while wearing the mistletoe crown was too pure to bo lost or betrayed. I love tho old superstition that clusters arouud this season of my joy and gladness. Long did I lamont the day when my children eyes wore open ed and I learned there was no Saint Nicholas nor Santa Claus, no reindeer on tho roof, no coming down the oh i in- I ney to fill tho sta ''inga that hung hy ! thc mantel, f'^vvn now 1 would fain believe, with Shakespeare, that, for iluso twelve days witches and hobgob lins and devilish spirits had to Hy away from tho haunts of men and hide themselves in tho dark pits and caves ol' the earth while tho good spirits who love us and watch over us, nes tled their invisible forms among thc evergreens that hung upon the walls. IL was pleasant to think that on tho last day of tho twelve thc cattle knelt down at midnight and humbly prayed that souls might bo given thom when they died, so that they, too, might live in heaven and worship (?od. I hope tho p.oor things will have a good time in thc next world, for they sec a rough ono in this, and I reckon they will, considering what a splendid pair of horses came down after tho prophet Elijah. Heaven wouldont bc any tho less heaven to inc to lind my good dog Bows up there, all renewed in his youth, aud to receive the glad welcome that wags in bis diminished tail. Now, childrcn,let us imagine we are around the cheerful Christmas fire and talk about Christmas and tell what it means. Of course you know that it is tho anniversary of tho hirth of Christ, , and all Christian pooojo celebrate it. lt is very common everywhere to cnlo bri?e birttid^KS. ?^A^ericans .make a '?di iuss,?K^;$* ih^^bjHliday s s I ii i ; i s ( ' 11 ; ; I .

Tin y kept up their festivities all night because tin Sax mr was horn al iiiiilnight. The Kliman Catholic church has obsorv' d these annual celebrations I'm- cen turies, ami thc church ni' Kngland took them up. ami sn did thc Protestants in l?crniany and other countries. Christians everywhere adopted them, and Christ mas day became a universal holiday except among thc Puritans of New h'tigluml, who forbade it under penalties. They never frolicked or made merry over anything. Ina great painting of tho nativity hy IJaphacl, there is .-cen :i shej herd at thc door playing on a bagpipe The Tyrolei -?. who live on the mountain slopes ol' haly always come down tn tho valleys ..?i ('hrisilu.is cc ami th: y come car in'i ?ur swe I sufi's and playing on musical instruments, and spend the night in innocent festivities. A cen tury or so ago lhere were m.my curious superstitions about Christmas, lt was believed that an ox or an ass that were near hy when thc Savior was born bent their knees in supplication, and ?o they said thc animals all wont to prayer every Christmas night. Of course, they might have known better if they had watched all night to sec, but when folks love a superstition they humor it. If a child believes in ghosts they are sure to see them, whether they are there or not. Those old-time people believed that when the rooster crowed for midnight on Christmas night all thc wiz/.ards and witches and hobgoblins and evil spirits lied away from tb?! habitations ol' men and.hid in caves and hollow trees aud deserted houses, and stayed there for twelve days. And now let us all get ready to wish a happy New Year to everybody, and my opinion is that we can all make it happy if wc try. Let's try. Let's turn over a new leaf. Let's have a Christinas all the year long. Let's keep the family hearth always bright and pleasant. Fussing and fretting don't pay. Solomon says its like wa ter dropping on a rock-it will wear away a stone. Tho home nf an un happy, discordant family is no home at all. It- aint even a decent purga tory. The children won't stay thor?! any longer than possible. They will emigrate and 1 don't blame 'cm. 1 hiivc just returned from good old North Carolina-a State that 1 ?ovo because ol'its good people, and partly for the same reason that Alex Steph ens s iid he loved his little dog, "be cause thc little dog loved htm." 1 am never more honored than when 1 go to vis t (dd Hip Yan Winkle, that Washington Irving made famous and Joe Jeft':rson immortalized.

And she would ' do it again. Thc Confederate senti ment is stronger there to-day than anywhere that I know of, andi am ac tually afraid that thc old veterans are getting rcatly to rise again. Why, at Wadcsboro twenty-six of them, in.old Coufedcrati badges, escorted me to the hall. Some of them had but one arm and sonic one leg, and they were all .solemnly proud of their record. They circled half around nm on the platform and reminded mc of the grand sanhedrim that Moses tells us used to gather nt the tabernacle. They have a Tammany hall in the village, where they rendezvous and refresh their memories and keep alive and burning thc Confederate sctimcnt. 1 do hope ib.ey won't rise again. rom thoro I went, to Monroe, ft 4' a awake and ;nro &tvl and ot! tu i 11 > and waterworks and a j gas, plant urn already established, and I ?va- pleased ?<> sen that I'M- children in the tactor looked healthy and hap py, and tin- .Superintendent tobi tn?; (hal h<- paid ihe yoiiniiest ?.!' them J."> ci-nt- a day, and Work'id tin in only lu hours. 1 ne t seores ol'obi Confodcr* at<! soldiers there ami -onie ol' them , <-ani" mil' - t" (-*rce| lue h wu.*j a : real ovation al' l|io (lay long; ?nd made mu feel humble and thankful, for I 'vin t understand what I have 'inn - !" merit such kind attention. < Inc oid veteran who lives in thu Wax* h?'.ve ??. 1 ! lemont brotiyhl tu1- a hickory ein- mil li ?ni (if sput where Andrew dael.-un was born.

Suppose one of the girl readers of the Companion in Key West, I'la., has a brother in t.lio Klondyke region, who lias risked all t" dig fortune from mother earth, and writes to tell bim thc news from hume. She drops the letter in the po-ioline at Key West, audit starts on it s long journey. lt. does not, of necessity, travel in a straight linc to its destination, but must follow thc twistingsand turnings ol' thc railroads, which have complete charge of it until thc northwest comer of thc State cf Washington is reached. When it arrives at Seattle it has pass ed through fourteen States, and yet, so far as time is concerned, but one fourth of thc journey bas been accom plished. It now takes a sea voyage from Se attle lo Juneau, Alaska, and from the latter plaeo is carried, as I have al ready described, to Circle City. It may be taken from there by friendly hands farther into the. Klondyke coun try, and finally delivered to thc anx ious brother, who has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next party from the nearest town in which a postoflicc is conducted, in the hope that some one would bring him a let ter. This letter has now traveled in the neighborhood of 7,01)0 miles-by rail road, steamboat, stage, horseback, and, perhaps, dogsled-aud has been on thc road for nearly forty days with out a moment's rest. No profit, in money, accrues to the government for delivering that letter; indeed, each letter sent into the Klon dyke costs thc government for trans portation many times the amount of postage charged; but. in such aaj^cs, should wc reckon the profit only in dollars and cents? Should we not consider also the hap piness and satisfaction afforded that brother as he sits by his fire, perhaps homesick aud lonely, but now with a loving smile illuminating Iiis face, as he reads and reads again every word his thoughtful sister bas written about home, mother and father, and perhaps some one else whom he holds dear? When, finally, he places his treasure under his pillow and seeks rest he is happier than for many a day; and Uncle Sam, who has contributed so largely to that happiness, does not re gret the small pecuuiary loss he has sustained.

Also to place in the Auditorium of the College a mural tablet, to his memory, or if contributions will justify it, erect on tho campus a monument of Scotch granite or marble. If tho mon ey contributed is not sufficient to erect a monument and establish thc beneficiary fund, tho right is reserved to usc the whole amount in erecting a monument. Hut surely, surely, the mon whoso lives were moulded by his skillful hand, and others who revere hi:? memory, will feel th" obligation to perpetuate his work, as well as bis j name, in thc institution of which be j was tho President for twenty-eight years'. Thc undersigned have been appoint- \ od to solicit contributions to carry out ! this plan. Wc appeal lo all who call themselves friends of Dr. Grier. Wc appeal to all persons who. as students, j enjoyed the bonelit of his instructions in the class-room and of his example in the formative period of their char acters.
