?i mm nt' iinmm ? '.imim in nm imano ? eau m a COLUMBIAN S. C. Saturday Jaorning, December 20,1858. The Bittu-unv of our Saviour. Tho revolving yeur in ita order lina brought ron nd once more CUMBTMAS - .fae brightest and happiest festival of Christendom-the holiday alike of rich and.poor, of old and young; or if it comes with csp?c?aPgl?clncss to any, it is to the latter-tho little children whom, when on oarth, Ho whose birth this day celebrates bade W oome nnto Him, and took themjin His arms and blessed them, and said that of such was the kingdom of Heaven. What would any of ns do without Christmas, that genial fountain of happiness which no winter can freeze over, but which bubbles up with its waters as pore and joy-giving aa if they had just flowed from the River of Life beside the throne of God, causing the wintry landscape to glow with the spring? like verdure and beauty of Paradise. Whai ocher ieafcival makes aa macy peo? ple happy or animates men for a time, at least, with such universal sentiments of peace and good-will towards each other, or draws their thoughts by such attract? ive influences to high and holy things ? What star in all the constellation of fes? tivals lights up the horizon so long and brightly before its rising us the star wbioh heralded the birth at Bethlehem, or shines with BUcb serene and pervading light, gilding alike the poor man's) cabin and the palace of royalty, and which, after it has set, is remembered with such regret and suoh earnest longings from children that it may soon return? But "Christmas comos but once a year," and we should make the most of it while it lasts, and forget for a moment the anx? ieties of the past, and let tho morrow, with its uncertainties, take care for the things of itself; and realize, for one duy in the year at least, how much moro blessed it is to give thau to receive. If there is something inspiriug in the ex? uberant joy and merriment of children at this season, there is something even more amiable in the rejuvenation of thc parental Kriss Kringles, who are growing young again in trying to muko children happy.' In the midst of all our troubles and perplexities, with men's hearts fail? ing thom for fear of what the future hus in store, the gay, glad season hos come round once more, to cheer and eharm ns with its presence. There is no mau 6o cold-hearted who does not foel to some extent the softening, ameliorating influ? ences of this genial Christmas tide. That heart must bo harder than the nether millstone that does not soften with the magic influences cf domestic joys, the festive gatherings benoath the roof-tree, the glowing, happy faocs of children, and the elect rio light of kindly sympathy that kindles in thc con nt en ance of every one, both young and old, who bestows the season's benison of "A merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year." It is the season which marks tho great event, whether correctly or not is of little moment, of the birth-duy of Him who was "tho hope of Israel, and the desire of all nations." He, for whose advent all tho movements of the world were adjusted, empires rose and fell, kingdoms waxed and waned. He, the unspeakable gift, "the Wonderful," "the Counsellor," "tho Trinco of Peace," whose birth Gabriel himself came down to tell. Let each heart remember ut this festive season, also, that the joys of ^Christmas should never be selfish joys, and that ho most honors the memory of j his Lord and Master who forgets not His j injunction that "it is better to give than j to receive." Christianity had over a spe oial eye to those feelings which should j remiud us of the equul rights of all, and tho greatest beauty in it is not merely its cbarity( which we too often contrive to swallow up in faith, but ita beiug ever alive to the sentiment of charity, with? out whioh its mere profession is de? nounced us only "sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." The same spirit that vindicated the pouring of rich ointment on His feet, because it was a homage paid to sentiment in His person, know how to bless the gift of a cup of cold water. Every face, hard iu its lines from the pressure of stern poverty's griping On? gera, that we brighten on Christmas, isa reflection of the brightness of His face who went abont doing good among the world's destitute aud poor. Every ivy wreath or bough of pine with which we decorate our churches or our homes, is a piece of natural piety as well as of beauty, and should remind us at this season to keep green in our hearts the memories of the suffering of our Lord's poor, who, os Ho said, "are always with ns." Every gladsome bowl which we set flowing without excess, every harm? less pleasure, every innocent mirth, how? ever mirthful, every forge ii ui ness, even of serious things, when they are only swallowed np at this season with the kindness and joy of universal obarity, which it ?H the end pl- wisdom ko pro driers ll f i I \ i 'TOseat, vi|^ose^,jIuk!re4lejrtBM*ff j and. Miltou's Eve, Who suggfcJtd A OM tboj^ghts to j^er hpsb|ndf>vwqWd * avs] thought so too',' if we are to believe the poet's account of ber generosity of soul. Our English ancestors always considered Christmas in the double light of a holy commemoration nud a cheerful festival, and acQor.diugly diatiuguished ita ob 6crvance by abstaining from business, by merrimeut und hospitality. As ?Sir Walter Scott sings: "England was morry EngUsd when Old Ohristmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broaoh'd tue mightiest ale; 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale; A Christmas gambol oft would cheer A poor man's boort through many a 2 var." Even if we do not choose to regard the day as a religions holiday, wo should not fail to observe it as a festival of the heart, where kindly oharities, social amenities and family re-unions may at least cast sun-shine into the shadier places of life's weary pilgrimage. The sweet angel song of "Peace, good will to mon," that ushered in the advent of "the Prince of Peace," should not be meaningless to us. Let us on this festive season, bond our ears more keenly to catch tho glad refrain of the augel's song, so that the oelestial harmony may sink deop into our hearts, and produce there the same softening influences that fell upon those who were keeping watch by night, when they first heard the angelic signal upon the irradiated hill? sides of Bethlehem. Let us hope that all our readers will remember that Christ? mas means forgiveness of enemies; the lifting np and encouragement of those who aro bowed down; the ministrations of mercy to those who are in ueed; tho deepeningand rc-establishmeut of friend? ship and affections, and the remembrance that Lio whoso birth is colobrated re? quires pureness of life and.correctness of conduct, cs well as faith in His mis? sion aud au adh?rence to religious ser? vices. Let this bo a day when bad habits shall be abandoned and good habits entered upon, that the Christ may be to us salvation in deed ns well ns in name. Let each of us contribute, by word aud by deed, something, bo il little or much, toward bottering tho couditiou of those around and among us; and il will bc to all-what we wish it may bo, dear reader, to you and yours-a happt Christmas. The following is the logent! of Santa Clans: Do you know where SANTA OI.AI'S wai boru? The merry imp who this morning made The roof-tree ring with his winding horn, When the winking bat had sought tin shade; The screech-owl laughed as he galloper! past, And the moon hid low in the Westen sky. And night-hawk scurried homeward fas When he cheered his steeds with a Hound ing blast: "Tirm la! tirra Ia! I am going by!" Well, gather around the blazing hearth Harry aud Daisy, and Frank and May All who are foud of frolic and mirth, All who thiuk that on this sad earth There's no thing so good as an boin " play; And, while the 1 ale-log sparkles bright Stay for a moment your noisy glee, And before your eye-lids droop to-night I'll toll you the tale as 'twas told to mc A withered old woman from Norway land With a cunning oyo and a wicked laugh And u wizened face, and a skinny hand lu which she grasped a crooked vow staff, And a sack cn her buck md a cat by he Hide, Told mc the stoiy one stormy day, Aud when she had done, she got astrid Of her stick, though the door was openei wide, Aud up the chimney she flew away. Onco ou a time, so the old crono Raid, When tho Gnomes and the Elves, merry band, Held open court by thc fountain head Of the river that flows through Fairj land, The King of the Gnomes, on Christmn Eve, Bade all his guests to tho Diamon Hall For nono of bis Fays that night hav leave, Till tho cock crows twice a glad repricvi To roam about on tho earth at all. Now the King sat np on his emeral chair By the Queen in her robe of butterfl wings, And tho little Princess with tho goble hair Played on the "harp of a thousan string?-," When ono of her suitors made so bold As to ask permission to kiss her toe, And I shouldn't wonder, for I am told, That ber very logs are made of gold, And we kiss thu Pope's, which are no you know. "O, I'm siok of your silly and honeye words," 8ho said, and flirted ber gorgeons fal Mado of tho down of humming-birds, "Como here, you ugly imp of man! Take this toy to-morrow morn And carry it up to the children abov And if yon find one who don't treat ye with oOoru, Although you were not in the purp born, I'll give you, 'Hunchy,' my hand an lovo." , 'j'll'l?'illii1!! I ,11 dofWM? moile>lf||fe bowed/ ld nove? heeded She sneering OTOwd i jibed abd jeered at Mm kneeling there; For Lob wa? a poor littlf? changeling boy Whom tho Fairies stole whilo his mother slept; Ali! think of that mother's dreams of joy, And then how that m<Mh>r Moke and Wept! His ehest swelled out in II great, huge lump, And his head wa.-? a-? big u- H pumpkin shell, His back stuck up like a ennui's hamp, Aud his mouth was wide HS a tavern well; His nose was at least live iuobea long. And as round aud red as a new scraped beei* You'd scarcely havo thought that his shanks were strong Enongh to carry his spraddling feet; His cbiu turned up and oyes sunk in Small as a weasel's and black as a mole, His arms were long and bony and thin, And claws like a bear had the manikin, Aud hair as red as a firc-coal. Now Lob was once as protty a page AB any you'd meet on a summer morn, Hut tho cruel Hill-men iu mischievous rage, Beat him blue in their spiteful scorn; They twisted his back and burnt his skin, They pinched his logs and shriveled them np, They tweaked his nose and chucked his chin, And slapped his j iws till his teeth fell in, And squeezed his bend in u diiokiiig-cup. But he had not forgot the .sunny bank, Or the sparkling hedge where the roses grew, Or the dark blue sky where the iady mooD sank Ou her silver cou Ai where the stars peeped through; Or tho noisy glco and tho merry piny Of the little sisters who made him sport Tho very mom he was boruo away, By the magic art of a heartless Fay, To bo the jost of the Elf-King's court. '.Madam,'' said Lob; "if you'll grant me grace To pass to-morrow the golden gate That opens, they say. on the happy place Where childreu the giddy momcnU chuso. While sun and moon keep royal state, I warrant I'll make ono grateful henri Before 1 return through the ivory door, For I know the spell of n simple art That will wiu mo love-it is lovc---nc more!" He kissed her baud and she gave him tht toy; "Go!" she answered, und bring goo?] cheer, Blessing and love, and thankful joy, Wherever you can, but much I fear You will meet with many a stinging word, And many a cruel jest and blow, For the childron of men, I'voofton heard Like the fairy-folk, can bc sordid nnc low." Now tho toy was only a .-mull, black box . With n tiny hole that tho eye peep: through; j It was filled with bits of fairy ruck.-. Crimson, and yellow, und green, ant blue, But, whenever you shook it, a shifting scene, I AH bright as fancy could feign or hope Burst on your sight-a fairy groou With dancing forms of light between And they call it on earth a KALEIDOSCOPE So off Lob marched with it nuder his arm \ Till he carno to tho gato of a high walled town, And thia ho passed through without un] harm, Though the sentry gave him au awfu frown; When down came rushing a crowd o boys. "Would yon Uko to look at my beau tiful tricks?" lie asked. "I am sure yon havo no toy As protty aa this." But they ptckei up bricks, And pelted poor Lob as he ran dowu th street, With a blooding mouth uud a bungei up eye, And his nose and ohiu swell up till the meet, And his clothes are torn und hang a awry. They broke his toy, and eke his head, Thoy called him Humpty, uud?unipt} and Toad, And left him in tho gutter for dead, While tho keon winds blew und th dark cloud snowed; Thickor and thicker tho soft flakes fell, White, and light, and as thick us rair But they covered him up liko u pearl shell, Till ho grew quito warm-and now must tell How he rose and limped out of tow again. Over the snow with bleeding feet For he left his shoes in tho mire bi hind He crawled away in tho cutting sleet. Facing the keen aud bitter wind; On, and on, till ho reached tho homo Of the long dark nights, and thu wii ter storms. Where the wal rus sports iu the ioy foai And the great whale spouts, and the bi bears roam, And tho white hares dance rouud the frozen forms. There he built him a hut of tho crispir anew, Aud glazed vue windows with sheels ice, And dugout an entrance, long and low, Like the lead to the burrows of La land mice, wiped Ai? gape, ajad hsLpiped hi" aStthat n\jt Lo d? notting pt WT. ff\ folt it vrero nseloHs louger to try win any lort or |s/m|?atlijtf j And for oue whole your he moaned ?nd grieved With ? little wee bear for bis friend 'and mate, And tbe Kiug and the (?neon and tho Prineena behoved That Lob bad met with Home drendiul fate. But when the next Christ ma* Eve carno round, Lob laughol us loud us the merriest elves. Tor he said to himself, 1 thiuk I have found i How to make them happy iu spite of themselves. lil make a mau with u crooked nose, Aud a hump on his back ns ugly us miue, With spindle shank? aud with sprawling toes, Andu head liku a fut Dutch bottle of wiue; And lil breathe into him my own warm breath, And give bim a heart us large as my own. And, although I know it will be my death, To him, as a proof of love, lil bequeath, i Tho baud that blesses, and never ib known. From a huge plum pudding he nbaped his hoad, And of twoblnck currants ho made his eyes, He fashioned bis nose out of ginger bread, i And for bruin* he beat un some smok? ing raiuce pies; His body he moulded nf ilakest crust, And stuck on a hump of calf-foot jelly, With a paunch of the same-so that nhuke it must, Whenever ho laughs, that little belly. His ICRS wore sticks of molasses candy, With Hie knobs mashed flat into two splay feet. A contrivance, I think, quite neut und hnudy, For sucking his toes must be mich -t treat, His arms he turned ont of sugar-canes, But of fairy *nud he compacted his j paws. And pouring rose-cordial into bis vcius ' Ho christened the manikin SANI?Y i CLAWS. Thea quickly hu harnessed six tiuy reiu- j dcor To the prettiest ?leigh that ever was seen ; The silver bells clinked iu the icy uir, | And tho twinkling hoofs made music j between ; The body was red and the i miners were ' white, Aud the oubliions were blue as tho Lapland skies, And the furs wore manv, und soft, aud light, To keep ont tho cold in the frosty night, When over the snow like a swallow he flies. Once, twice, Lob breathed iu his mouth, And SANTA CLAUS sprang up and seized thc reins, He turned bis prancing steeds' to tho South, And nway ho skimmed o'er tho icy plains; But poor Lob shivered nnd slunk away He felt that his life was ebbing fast, He knew that ho would not see tho day, And when tho morning broke over chill Norway His spirit had fled on tho winter blast. But, year after year, on Christmas Eves, SANTA CLAUS speeds from his Northern home; And ho flies so fast that no track he leaves, And his deer ure covered willi flakes of foam. Over the roofs of the houses ho goos, With his wonderful freight of Christ? mas toys, Aud though the sharp wind muy bite his nose, Ho heeds not the tingling sleet or snows In his errand of love to all girls and boys. He ties np his team to tho friendly tile, And down the chimney he deftly slides, Whistling merrily ull tho while As from stocking to stocking ho nimbly glides; In the bad child's stocking ho leaves a rod. But he Alls up tho good with beautiful things, To the sleepers he winks with a cunning nod. Then up tho chimney, aud off with his load: And driviug along he gui y sings: I love good custom and hearty cheer, And CHIUSTMAS is King of all the yenr, When tho goodman rests from his weary task, And tho good wife broaches her oldest cask, And tho ox, they sny, kneels in his stull To praise Ibo Oiver of Oood to nil, Aud old and yonug in sport unite To danco away tho livelong night; But best I love the jolliteo That gathers around the CHRISTMAS TREK.

As usUn!, . tho advent day of tho Trinen of "Pence will bring with' it events sadly nt variance with the character of the occa? sion. A day thnt should be associated ouly with the innocent pleasures of youth and tho sober reflections of maturer ago, is too often devoted to tho wildest re? velry, tho ruo8l reckless dissipations, and Ibo most vicious indulgencies. How often is Chris tm un marred! Ho ar often is j its harmony disturbed by jarring notes! j How often is it? peace made to give way I to the rude war of thc passions! 1 jet us hopo that men will not be au j mindful of the hallowed oliar.tctcr of tho j day.

It marks the advent into tho ! world of Him who WOH to give a philoso I phy better than that of Plato and I Socrates, and a hope which goes beyond I the grave--of Him who waa to give tho assurance of a life of which this is but the beginning-of Him who was to impart to the wise and pure "that peace which passel li all understanding." Let Christ? mas, then, come upon us with its pions nnd cheerful iufluenco. Lot it bring quiet and sober joys to ?ge and bright and joyous realization to youth and childhood.
