The happy, joyful day, the gladdest the . ear—the d iy of precious family •anions, of merry social festivities, of USD.ring church services—will soon be here. The anniversary of the Saviour's ad vent into the world should rightfullj be the happiest, as it is the most signif icant, day of the entire year. It is the day above all others when the heart should lift itself above the common cares, perplexities and sorrows of this life, in food hope and stiong faith, real izing that our dear Father in heaven caieth for us, if we trust in Him, and that He wiii lead us guitly down life's "ourney to the end, and finally, for His OMI dear Son's sake,whose glorious na i d day we celebrate, take us to our e i o :;al '.loui** above. Parents should strive to make this i veutful season of permanent, lasting benefit to their families. Not only should every member of the home cir cle be kindly remembered with appro* priate presents—for these are outward likens of inward affection and love— but the higher and more important les sons of the occasion, the historic orig in and glorious signification of Christ mas should be taught and impressed. People who spend the sacred, holy day ioleiy in feasting and mirth, have but low conception of its grand design, and will. j>y none of its ennobling iu ieuces, iu hallowed associations, reap i .ie of its higher benefits. To such t ie "good ti lings of great joy" does lot come. The angelic message,"Peace el earth good, will to men,"has no true neaning to them. Christmas should be made preemi nently the occasion of active charity to destitute and suffering. who, -unrounded with every comfort and lux ury the heart can desire, forgets or ig n >ies the claims of the pooi, the wki .v and the orphan around him,but lit t'e und -stand* the obj ct and scope of jf .oe b'essed gospel of that Savour who v. is born ui.to us "this day." If we -ivv ro those only.from whom we ex pect to receive again, what reward hav vve ? It is o:m of the plainest and most imperative of christian duties to seek out the neglected and degraded, those who have little sunshine but mueh darkness in their life's journey— and there are such in every community —and minister to their modest but pressing wants. llow many sad hearts cotud be made happy, how many hum ble homes made cheerful, how manv er ring and wandering ones reclaimed for virtue, if the professed followers of Him who sarri lined Himself for all, would be more vigilent and active in lee Is of charity and errands of mercy md love. It behooves us as a ehristaiu people, ;s each succeeding Christmas comes ad to grow and improve in those traces which alone make life worth liying for. THE gossips seem at last to have de j led upon Governor-elect Pattisou's iit t, with Mr. Cassidy for attorney genet al and Mr. Stenger for secretary of the commonwealth, but they will hardly feel entirely satisfied until Mr. ;* tisou has confirmed these nomina tions. A Crowd that; Howls for Offl 33. If C mtioller Pattison were hermeti cally sealed in a firo-proof safe aud the, key hurried in the chap bosom of the Delaware, it is the opinion of his chief deck, Mr. Hirst, that several hundred of the thousand or more otllee-seekers would shortly penetrate his hiding-place and drown him in a flood of petitions for appointments. As a matter of fact, the Controller's olliee has been in a state of siege for a month past. Mr. Ilirst is in command of the outposts, while Secretary Everett guards the in ner fortress. The beleaguering party are a dauntless set. They lie ia wait in the dirk corridors, lurk in the nar row passages and storm up the broad stairs leading to the Governor-elect's a partments, only to be routed but not dismayed. They are a determined band of anxious men, a gallant crew of give me-a-n ice-easy-fccrT hor-Pll-iaever-let-up -on-you men. Tlie captains are * vest pocket"" divis ion workers and the colo nels and m ajors mackerel-eyed individ uals, in seedy black and paper collars. It requires much manoeuvring and more tact to save Mr. Pattison from this hungry horde, Mr. Ilirst • meets the enemy on his first appearance. Ho generally presents a petitioner has some very important disclosure intended on ly for the Governor's v*te ear, or has a subscription lift and a thousand aud ; one similar excuses, which he conjures up <0 secure an audience. He never gets what he comes for and goes out only to give place to another of his kind. While these scenes are going forward Mr. Everett is being ptlted with num berless paper i>ellets, in the form of pe titions for api>ointments and begging letters from every conceivable class of people and societies. Hon. P.Gray Meek is a candidate for the office of Chief Clerk of the House, and Hon. W. K. Alexanuer for Post master. Both gentlemen are eminent ly well qualified for the positions, and since Centre county has had uotnine in that line these manv years we hope both may be successful!.
