It al ways comes around about this time of the year, and brings with It the same scentes, the sante occupations, the same merry-makings for the day, and the samne headachos to the old folks and the same other sorts of aches to the little people the next mornling. Who would be without Christnas, a tinie when everybody can get young and shoot tire crackers and blow tin horns and eat turkeys and other good things, and forget. cares and troubles for one day in the year at least? Let us ill Iurn out to-day to do honor to Santa Claus, and to enjoy the good things he has brought us. The celebration of Christmas, tho birth-day of our Lord, is of ancient origin. The institution of the festival is ascribed to Telesphous, who flour ished In the reign of Antoninus Pius !it the second century, but the first traces of it are fouind in the reign of Coninodus, a few years later. Dio cletian, in the third century, is said to have set, fire to a church in Nicome dia ia which a multitude of Christ inis had assembled to celebrate the festivr.1 and to have prevented any of the un fortnate victims from escaping from the flamies. Neither Dioclet ian, how ever, nor any other persecutor, nor even the Puritans, under Cromwell. Sicceeded iln abolishing this seii-de votional feat., iad Christmas vill be ob.served as long its there aire young people on the vartl, and old people to give theimi the wherewithal to iiake Nerrv Amon the early churches there is said to have beeni no uniif'ormitv ill the periud of observing the iativity. Some held the festival in May, some in April and others in Janunry. It is argued that, the bi rth of the Savior could not. have occurred on the 25th of December, because that Is the height of the rainy scasonm inl Judea, and sliep herds could hmrdly have hecI watch ing their flocks by night, and the wise menc might not not., probably, have seena the new star rising over Bethlehem. Gradually, however, tle 23hh of December was selected, chielly fbr the fuowing reason, it is said. The winter solstice was regarded by the heathen no0tionis as that point of the year at which begins the renewed life andl activity of Nature, and its coming was celebrated with great rejoicing, especially anmong the Celts and tile Germans in the North. At this season the Gerians held their great Yule feast, in commemoration ot' the return of the fiery sun wheel, and they believed that during the twelve o ?o ie 6h Jnuaythey could trace the p~ersonal movements and~ interferences on earth, of 0(1in, Berchta and thleir other great deit ies. Wheni Christianity p)enet1rated these wilds it found great difficulty in pre servling the wvorship of the true re ligion inconitaminated1 by old heathen customs. Learned schlolars hold t hat when the fostival of Christmas was adop~ted, its date was made thlat of the old Yule feaist. To eradiente these pagan customs the church strove earn estly, and olainated its '"manger songs," its Christmas carols and~ Christmas dramas, which subsequent ly degtenerated1 auto Tarees and fools' festivals. Ilenice also arose the cus tomn of Christ trees or Christmas trees, adorned with lights andl filled withI glits. During the seventh and eighth centuries, priuay, several other festivals, partly 0old and partly new, were added to the original day, and a whole weok or more was givoen up to feasting and1joy. In Course of time, Christmuras has becomo a universal fesg.val, and although some churches reject it In its political aspect as a huim:tn invenltion, and as ''savorinig of papestical will worships," still as a social holiday It is everywvhere ob served. In the North It Is yielding ini honor to New Year's dlay, but the Southern people, white and colored, still cling to theO old traditions, and call for their "Christmnas gilis." After this profounud dissertationi on the origin of the day, we wish our readers a merry Christmas, with the hope they may enjoy many returns of this joyous Yule tId1e. Air Castles on the Congaree. The Columbia legiser, is already building air castles on the banks of the Congaree Canmal, and we hopo they will sooni be In actual existence, It demonustrates COnlclsvely by figures the groat capabilities of the magnif.. cent water power now on the eve of developmnent.

We all were grieved for the loss of our pet dog. The household felt the loss, Iald I Imvsel' thouight I'd rather have lost tle two best cows and calves on the place. The next day was Sunday, anll(d after breakfast I took a walk over to the creek. It was high water and there in the cove lay the old scoun drel. I sat down some timie on a log, when I approached the water's edge, supposing he would swii oti' or go down, as I had always seen hin do; ii stead of which lie (d what I never be fore saw one do-lie ramsod himself half out, of (lie water, when if I had only had nv gun loa.ded with ball or buck-shot, I could, so near, have killed him with ease. lie lay lookin r deflianee at mne. The taste of blooh mitade hin muore ferocious, I thought, and I believe if I had only gone a toot deep into Ihe', water lhe would have taken me off, which, strong as Ie was, he could have dole. Threel days alter, I went down to the lack Creek to tish-our sheep head ground, which is niade by sim ply drivigi into tle bottoi stoit pine poles fornungimi'i an oblong pen six or eight feet. wide, into wlifh are thrown soie heavy live-oak logs. Sheep head. young drum1 and *hool bass go throug h1 betweeni the poles on which iI a bou six weeks tlie barnacle forms, to feed on these, and also for protec tion froma tle porpoise and shark. Our sheep-hend ground was near the nmouth of the cove. We had caught our1 bait, tle china-back lidler, shoved otY our skiff; all three got in, pushed otT, tied to a stake, and before we had put our lines out, I looked up and saw our alligator making a bee-line, coming straight for uts. We were inl a shallow skifT only, and so low to tle water that. I knew it' lie only got o1e for'e-pIaw oi the side, over we must go, and in the eight teet depth of water' on1e of uts woul I never come out. The bovs said ''l'usi ashore." Satisfied lie ivanIit to at tack us, I saw niothing else was to be done, and quickly I drew the loop over the head of' thlie stale and being quite near the shore the boy ran tle skiff on in a momeil, 11td 110 sooner did he see whaiit we hand done. than I.e dI &ib rately atirned til] aid slowl swam back to his place across the creek.

This ditch wvas his path up into the pond, and it occurrett to 1me that I might be as smiart as lhe and make a tr'ap for him here. Accordingly, I had a load of pu ncheons hauled to the spot, also some stakes.

To the other end of the rod we faustented a shtrong (wino strin~g, wvhich ran do*n and passed through a f'orked stick driven into the ground on on one side at (lie bottom and r'ununing across the bottom, hitched b~y a loop on the top of a pin and in such a way that any'thing coming In contact with this string inst make the door at the end to fall.
