CHRISTMAS.
To our reader, we tender the compliments
of the season. V wish the patrons of the
Freeman, one and all. a3 well as the "rest of
mankind," a Merry Chri8tB1Rl ftnd a Happy
ew Year The birthday e( the Redeemer
of mankind should, of all dy jn year
be a day fraught with sentinaQts of goid'
will to all our fellow creatures. The nativ
ity of the Saviour of the world, the Second
Person of the Godhead, is itself a symbol of
'Peace on earth and ood will to all man
kind." Christmas, from Christ and Mass. has been
recognized as a Christian holiday ever siace
the coming of the Messiah, though the man
ner of its observance has been varied in dif
ferent countries, and among different relig
ious denominations, but with the whole
Christian world it has been recognized as a
season of joyousness. While in Catholic '
countries is is toe greatest Holiday known to
the calender, in neaily all Protestant com
munities it has been regarded with more or
less of religious observance, and of late it has
even been uade a legal holiday by statute.
Christmas Carols, in imitation of the songs
of the shepherds, have been in vogue from
an early period of the history of Christianity,
and are beautifully illustrated in the prose
poetry of Dickens, in his stories of that name.
We present this week a beautiful "Carol"
from the pen of our gifted young friend, "Lin
net," and though the talented warbler is now
far from her mountain home, we know her
effusions will be none the less appreciated.
The Christmas Carols of the Welsh are
said to have excelled all others, and are to be
fouud in their "Lfftn Corolan," (Book of
Carols.) an old volume.
The Christmas Tree, the delight of the ju
veailes, is said to be of German origin. A
young evergreen tree (generally a yew) was
planted in the children's apartment, and ail
its branches loaded with sweetmeats and
"goodies," and often more valuable presents.
This practice still prevails very generally,
and indeed the children are opposed to any
innovation upon it.
Another .traditioaal usage is to hang up
the urwhins' stockings on Christaias Eve,
whea Cliristopher Kringle, E?i , (vulgarly
known as Kriss Kringle.) would fill the said
blockings with sugar plums, candies, etc.
We recollect of making this experiment on
one occasion, but Christmas mwruing showed
us a stocking as empty as it was on Christ
mas eve when we took our foot out of it.
This mystery was, however, explained by
showing us a large hole in the heel of the
stocking, through which the " goodies"
were allowed to have escaped. " Darn the
tkirg," was all we said, as we once more
' put our foot 5u it."
Christmas day was also a great leveler,
both on the Continent and the British Isles.
The prince and the beggar, the lord and the
peasant, the nobleman and his retainers,
ignoring all distinctions of rank held a com
mon jubikc a clown, or quick wittel fel
low, designated as "lord of misrule, " or
" Abbot of unreason," usually leading the
revels. All the tenants were entertained
in the manorial hall, and the lord of the
manor encouraged all mauner of inuocent
jollity.
Then opened wide the baron's hall.
To vassal, tenant, serf, and all ;
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And ceremony doflid his prftle.
Tho heir, with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose.
All hailed, with uncontrolled delight
Aud geaeral voice, the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown,
Brought tidings of salvation down.
Kngl.tnd waa merry Lug and when
ITtd Cbritnis brought his spoitu again-.
'Twas Christmas broachM the mightiest al ;
'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale ;
A Christmas gambol oft would cheer
A poor man's heart through half the year.
At Queen's College, and at legal festivi
ties the chief dih was a boar's head, bear
ing a chant, half Latin, half English, run
ning thus:
Camt Oiri Jefero
Reddens lades Domino.
The boar's head in hand bring I,
With garlands gay and rosemary,
I pray you all sing merrily,
Qui estis in convitio.
The Yule log is 6till a Scottish observance.
Yule if the Saxon term for Christmas, but is
nearly obsolete, excepting in Scotland. The
Yule fire was made on Christmas with the
understanding that tlie yourg folks should
hold carnival until the last log was reduced
to ashes. The canning youngsters were
wont to procure a water-soaked black ak or
chestnut log of moustrous size, and by this
meaus would lengthen their reveli till Can
dlemas, which always ended the Christmas
time.
This was a famous time for courtships
among the Scotch, who, as a general thing,
had no religious exercises en Yule : and
these occasions are of'.eu noted in Scottish
poetry. Burns more than once notices this.
One of his most popHlar songs commences :
Duncan Gray cama here to woo,
Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
On blythe yule night when we were fu'
Ila, ha. tho wooing o't.
Maggie coo6t her head fu' high, &c.
The Catholic custom of decorating churches
was formerly, aud is still, extended to cas
tles and cottages, the mistletoe being the
favorite wood, on account of an old Druid
reverence for the " mistletoe bough ;" but
holly and ivy are common decorations in
England ; and" laurel at Oxford and Cam
bridge colleges. ' ' ' .
Tt is also a superstitious idea that the
spirit of the deceased retreat from the
earth on the approach of the dawn of Christ
mas ; and hence in Hamlet, Shakspeare
makes Marcellus bay in speakiDg of the
ghost of the defunct king :
It faded on the crowing of the cock.
Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comei
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning aingeth all night long.
And then thej say no spirit dares stir
abroad ;
The nights are wholesome ; no p'anets strike,
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm.
So hallowed and so gracious is the time.
Horatio : So have I hoard, and do iu part
believe it.

And, now, kind reader, we have only to

world as one great brotherhood ; and play
the part of a brother in it. In conclusion,
let us all endeavor to act our part on the
grand theatre of life, so that we shall have
an approving conscience ; for

Burgess Moore lost a valuable mule on
the Carrolltown road, on Saturday last.
Another sled beam came in collision with
his, and by some mishaps one of his mules
was ripped open in a shocking manner.
A fellow possessed of more daring than

nately escaped with but slight injury.
Prof. Hugh II. Hughes proposes to teach
a class in vocal music, commencing next

natural talent for music, which he has culti
vated with care and discrimination. We
recommend him to the patronage of our
citizens. Tickets , may be had at Rees J.
Lloyd's Drug Store.
We regrtt to learn that Mr. Rees S. Lloyd,
a worthy citizen of Cambria township, met

friend Mac Quite spirited revivals of re
ligion are at preseut in progress in the Meth
odist aud Lutheran churches here, and some
forty or fifty persons have been added to the
membership of each of these churches. Our
town is sadly ia need of revivals, and it is to
be hoped that these meetings will accomplish
much good.
At the last meeting of the Democratic
Club a very animated discussion was indulged
in in reference to the reception of the report
of a Committee appointed at a previous meet
ing on the subject of the Pre.-kleiit' Message.
Capt. Crozter led the opposition in a very in
genious and argumentative speech," followed
on the same side by the worthy President of
the Club, while, on the other hand, the re
port of the Committee was ably advocated
by Messrs. Fettiuger, Lloyd, and others.
The report was finally" tabled for the present.
- On my way to the Company's shops, on
Thursday last, I was somewhat surprised at
the commotion and excitement among the
people, and looking in the direction- they
appeared to be going to and coming from, I
saw upwards of a hundred persons assem
bled in the vicinity of the "Green Corner."
My first impression was that Mrs. Clark,
alias Mrs. Government, alias Mrs. Lincoln,
was disposing of some articles from her su
perabundant wardrobe. To satisfy rrty curi
osity, I Rtarted towards the scene oi ertitw
ment. Meeting; a gentleman, 1 inquired the
cause of the commotion, when he iuf rmed
me that they bad a beast in a cage. Think
ing it possible that he had reference to But-
er, Sheridan or btevens, I hastened forward,
but discovered, soon after my arrival, that
the "animile" was neither Mrs. Government,
Spoon Butler, Tyrant Sheridan, nor Malig
nant Stevens. It was a more amiable and
useful beast than either of these creatures,
being no less than a bull-y calf, seven months
and three days old, which weighed 1182 lbs.,
dressed 7 74 J lbs., and furnished 68 lbs. of
uncleau or entrail fat, while its hide kicked
the beam to the tune of 95 lbs. It was
reared by Pat. M'Closkey, near Hclhdays-
burg, and killed and retailed by those priLCJS
of butchers, Mestrs. Zmk A Olmus. Can
Cambria county produce anything to equal

Quite an amusing incident occurred iu one
of the stores m tms place, a few evenings
since. The proprietor of the aforesaid store
and one of his customers got into a discus
sion on the subject of religion, and the con-
troversary waxed so warm that it hnally cul
