The editor is off on a Christmas
trip, and the printer has been taking
holiday. This accounts for the scare

CHRISTMAS!
Another year with its joys and sor
~rows, sunshine and shadows, failures
and successes, has well-nigh passed
away, bringing once again, the miith;
and hilarity of jolly old Christmas. A
time when heart-burnings and stripe
Mould yield place to the sovereignty
of oar-better natures, and to an era':
._M ee and good will toward men. It
'is a fit occasion for rejoicing when old
and young should lend a helping hand
n making the natal day of our Sav
rour one of festive enjoyment. Are
any bowed down witb bereavement
and care ? Then let them emerge
from the cloistered seclusion, and join
WV the happy band. The old may look
'' <th pleasing interest upon the glee
.I Vsjidt of the young, and call up,
neby one, the happy reminiscences
a day that is gone, and live them
ver' again. But alas! "the silver
':hS4 eats among the gold" . all remind
tiit it is no longer the Christmas
~c- o-'ahildhood's happy hours. ,The fast
ing chariot wheels of Time are
rling us on towards the evening of
laid the lengthening shadows tell
poeng sunset.
nlyafew years ago, as it seems,
eamong those, who, with rest
idet and sleepless eyes pattered
and watched for "Santa Claus"

his fleet-footed Elks, well

Yes, it is a time for memory,
mm the tear-drop will start
In unison with the vacant
aching void within, there
<<ccwsimp~ a remembrance of some
-le curly head and bright

tChristmas festivities, one year
u chis the checkered scene of

' who is able to pluck from ev

athistesthat grow beside
gt~ athway, as he passes onward.
In our town the ancient Holidays
>7ereafshered in by the ever-present
i-ain and slush of the streets,
~~dthe early booming of the omni-1
~~etFire-crackers. Scarcely had
th egulation Bell of our corporation
CtcBed out the hour of midnight on
y eve, when music arose with
a is4voltrgtuous swell" and foating o'er
Smurky atmosphere, penetrated the
K Z~rshfulrepose of the young Maning
C ~e who were watching and waiting
Naithe signals setting forth the open
~ ng eremonies of Christmas morning.
EThe early threat of cloud and storm
f6 ic6 gave way to the cheering rays of
s abright and beautiful Sun, and the
Song of the town found ample op
portunity for the exercise of out door
S sports, which were indulgedl, adding'
-no little to the enjoyment of those
who took part, and none the less to
each as had, by reason of years and
farg limbs, been relegated to the
* position of spectators. Of course
thei-e was an admixture of a goodly
portion of the "over joyful," this ad
junct of Christmas, without which,
the transactions of the day would be
abnormaL As the waning shadows
began to fall eastward, the crowded
atreets soon discharged a portion of
-. the people, who fell with wetted ap
petites upon the Christma turkeys,
at which delightful and entertaining
ocapation we will leave them, to note
-theeclosing scenes, at the festive Hall
ei our townsman, Mr. I. M. Bagnal,
where, in the mazes of the dance, the
the young men and maidens of our
to~-'spent a delightful evening, run-1
nimng well into the wee, small hoursof
the morning. Everything, has pass
ed away most pleasantly, and it affords
infeigned satisfaction to mention the<
ancem of discord or anything to mar
the hilarity of the day; and may each
and all of us go forth from this atmos
-pliere of sport and joy nerved and re
auvemated for the stern battles of life,
that stand frowning, perhaps, on thet
threshold of another year.

ATI
The course of instruction embracing ten years, is designed to furnish a lib
eral education stuited to the ordinary vocations of life, or to fit students for
the Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior class of colleges.
PLAN OF INSTRU~CTION.
The most approved text books are used. Theblackboand is deemed an
essential in the class room. The mean ing of an author is invariably required
of ceach pupil. In all work done, in whatever department, and whatever th
extent of ground covered, our motto shall always be Thoroughness. T
this end, we shall require that every lesson lbe learaed, if not in time for th
elass reitation, then elsewhere. No real progress can be made so long~a
the pupil is allowed to go on from day to day reciting only half-perfect lesson.
TER\IS PERt MONTE OF FOUR WEEKS ;
Primary Department (3 yerars course),.. ...... ............Sl1.00, $1.50, and $2.
Intermediate Deluartment (2 year3'course),............. ..... ......... 2.0
Higher D.epartmant (2 years' course),......... ................3.00 and 3.50

Contingent Fee, per session of 5 months, in advance,................... .25
Board per mo4nth,..--.....................---.---------.-------------8.00
Board from Monday to Friday (per month).............................. 5.00
P$ E DESIREF ESPECIALLY TO URGE UPON PARENTS AND
- Guardians the great importance of having their children at school
promptly the first day. The student who enters late labors under serious
disadvantages, and seldoma takes that stand in his class that otherwise he
would have taken.
The Principal feels much encouraged at the hearty support given the
school heretofore, and promises renewed eifforts to make the school what it
should be-FIRST CLASS in every respect.
