?Toto I^rinting
To-i>ay, the second of the Christ
mas festival, is being observed to the
ends of earth. One glad jiiuileo,
' (noisy nnd apparently meaningless
'witn the children, social and possibly
intemperate with the older ones, grave
and perhaps loo ritual with tho se
vere) girdles the world as a 20110 of
.light, nnd wakes it as with a free
song from millions. Christmas had
its birth when nineteen centuries
agone, tho Star bright as a diamond
stood where the young child lay.
The night was culm. Shepherds and
sheep were quid under the glittering
sk3'. "Lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory ol the
Lord shone round about them." Then
came the announcement, ''for unto
you is born this day in tue cily of
David a Savior, which is Christ the
Lord.". jNow followed the song from
the Heaven's white robed multitude,
?-??Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace,good will towards men."
Angels celebrated the advent of the
birthday. Heaven itself called lipon
earth to j tin the chorus, "Peace, good
will." The decree lo destroy went
forth. The power of kings made
Kamah desolate. The wail of many
llachels was heard in the land. Vet
tho bush burned and was not consuim
cd. Out of Egypt the Son was called.
The seedling of faith grew, waxed
strong, res sled the hale of a Nero
and Adrian, until to-day when the
islands of the sea arc tinged with
Betbclem star's rays, and Christmas
refiains go up from heathen shores.
A homily as to how the day should
be observed is belter from the sacred
desk than in these columns. ()i.e
grand thought like "the star" of that
night should shine above and possess
the most rel? slices breast. Peace!
what is it worth? The rippling rill
babbling, trickling in its puny infan
cy sings of Peace. Its hymn of inno
cence is very transitory. Strength
added to its How gives boisterous
babblement until the mountain tor
rent ripples with the mil iky stream,
at.d the ceaseless heave of an ocean
tells of 7io peace here. So with the
child. Innocence, gladness, joyotis
ness make it the Peace of home.
The man values that Peace most
which is won from :i tumult of strife,
and a war for advantage. One of
the greatest of leaders amid the
shock of battle said, "Were not war
so terrible, we would grow fond of it."
The conflict, the attrition, the day
after day, the defeats, the treachery,
and the discovery of empty vanity
shut out Peace. Eyes arc not \va'cit
ing for the Star of Peace. They are
strained upon the gonl of reward
where a cheat awaits the swiftest.
Let the jubilee if meaningless go on.
Let the overstrained mind relax for
this short holiday. Lot the hcltborc
bloom in'the year's dark mantling
even if it fades. Let a semblance of
joy be heard. Better the chant of
rejoicing than the dirges of woe.
Pcans rather than waitings. Sad
was the soul of him who penned this
common thought, "If I must lose my
faith in man, then let me, let me glad
ly die." To-day a peace prevails,
which, if a shadow, is loaned from
that eternal Christmas where a Sab
bath of Peace shall never, never end.
Seldom has it fallen to our lot to
record the death of one more univer
sally esteemed and loved than that of
Mr. Calvin (layden, which occurred
in the Fork on the 20th instant, in
the 85th year of \\\a age. Few men
live to this age and fewer still per
formed tho duties of life more punc
tually and met its responsibilities
more bravely than Mr. Hay den, His
great moral woith had attracted about
him the friendship of everv one capable
of appreciating sterling vi ilues, and
hi6 death, therefore, ia universally re
gretted as the severance of one of the
links that held in close contact the
virtues of the picscnt with tl.o worth
Of the past. Mr. llayden was per
haps one of the oldest affiliated Ma
sons in the United States, having been
made a master in his twenty-first year
nnd in 18gl a lloyal Arch Mason,
which makes him a master of sixty
four years' standing, and a Royal
Arch of fifty-eight years. H,o was a
Methodist from principle and choice,
and was as firm as a rock in his devo
tion to the church and faithful to her
pledges. As a Christian and a Mason
he has left no blot upon his fair name
but in tho purity of its character
transmitted it as a glorious inherit
ance to his children. His remains
were buried in the grave yard near
Zion church on Sunday last with Ma
sonic honors, in the presence of the
entire surrounding country, Gen. Jas.
P. Izlar, Master of Shibboleth Lodge,
officiating.
Tub attention of our renders is di
rected iO notico in another column of
an entertainment to be given by the
ladies of St. Matthews' circuit on the
31st instant at St. Matthews Acade
my fur the benefit of their parsonage.
This is a most worthy oljject and it
is hoped that every ono in reach of
Ihc academy will attond and thus aid
our St. Mattbewb' friends in their
laudable undertaking. The new par
sonago is now in process of building
on grounds adjoining the Jericho
church, and this means is adopted by
the ladies to raise funds for furnish
ing the new home o( their preacher;
It is therefore earnestly desired that
every one, including his uncles, his
aunts and bis cousins put in his ap
pearance on the 31st instant. Apart
from the object, which should recom
mend the scheme, the entertainment'
itself bids fair to be a most excellent j
affair; and the dinner, according to |
the St. Matthews' style, will be a<
grand entertainment within itself,
worth ten limes the admission fee to
be charged. There can be no more ap
propriatc way to end the old year,
and with a consciousness of duty well
performed to begiu lbs new.

Senator Wade Hampton was asked
Wednesday whether bo meant to re
ply further to the charges preferred i
by General Gary a few days ago and j
repeated by him in the Now York I
Uerafd. The Senator replied that he
did not desire to add to what he has
already said in the i]crulJy and that!
as the three letters referred to in his j
previously reported conversation will j
probably be republishcd at early date, j
it will not be necessary for him to do
so. These letters are an anonymous
communication printed in a Georgia
paper making substantially l|ie Same
charge now made by Goneral Gary,
and two others in reply by Gen. Sam

Insn't suggested iho?name of that
distinguished politician and publicist,
J. Mudison Well, of Louisiana, lor
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee. There was a lime when
Mr. Wells was called upon to hole up
the Republican party by the tail, and
he did it like a little man. But now
he is.in.a measure, a neglected states

old pair of boots that have served

Fou tub Tbbti.1.?Many of the
powders and pastes now in the mar
ket contain ingredients like pit mice
stone, charcoal, &c, which ought
never to be used for the purpose.
The Saponaceono Tooth Po.wder is
warranted to contain nothing in the
least injurious, and has no equal for
its purpose, as its flavor is pleasant,
is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and
contains nothing gritty or rough for
the teeth. For Bale by Dr. J. G.
Wannamaker.
The Fair in aid of the Presbyterian
parsonage was opened on Monday
evening last, and we are pleased lo
know that it has been a grand suc
cess. This gratifying result, how
ever, is no surprise to us, as the la
dies having tho different departments
in charge was a sufficient guarantee
of this. As we go to press the hall
is full of visitors, and, although the
last da}', the interest seems in no
way to abate. Wo will report the
result of the balloting next week.
O?R esteemed fellow townsman and
worthy Chief of the Fire Department,
Mr. Hatpin liiggs, was painfully in

fire. Wc arc glad to aco Mr. Riggs
out again. Wc learn that the tillor
of the Truck was broken by this acci

feel itself able to lend such aid as
will enable the company to repair
their Truck.
It is estimated that this little globe
of ours has a population of 1,121,
000,000, and that 25,093,359 worthy

It is gratifying lo add that about
seventy new beings arc opening their

Tim usual quiet of our town was
disturbed .on Thursday niuht last,
about 7 o'clock, by an alarm of lire,
which proved to lie the burning of a
barn and stables of Mr. Robert Copes
on the Legare place. The loss of Mr.
Copes is about &2QU. the worth of the
corn, fodder and other piovisions in
ihe barn. We learn the house was
fully insured.
