OhmstUas, as all our-readers'know, is tho i day. bn which the nativity of Our, Saviour,is . celebrated. All,Christian,nations religiously . observe the day, and there is Divine Service in 1 nearly all the churches throughout tho land. The first record wo have of tho observance of this day, is in the second century, about the time of the Emperor Commodas. Tho decretal epistles, indeed, carry it up a little higher, and say that Telesphorus, who lived in tho reign of ! Antoninus Pins, ordered Divine Service to be celebrated, and an angelic hymn to be sung the night before tho nativity of onr Sayiour. . The custom of making presents on Christmas eve is derived from an old heathen usage, prac ticed among the nortbem nations, at the feast of the birth of Sol, on tho 25th ofDccember, to which it succeeded, and retained the same of Yule, or Inul; i. e. tho "Wheel” or revolution ofthesun. ' “ / . On this day all littlo-'folks are particularly happy, on account of tho visit of old Santa CLAtis last night, who came down the chimney and fitted sundry stockings with toys, books and sweet-meats, and left jnany pretty tokens of remembrance behind. Well, a " merry Christmas” to all our read ers,old and young, male and female, saints and sinners I'*. May you all bn that happy-as mortal can be, have clear consciences, and all sit down to sumptuous dinners! Singing in the Public Schools. We gather from onr exchanges that the custom of singing in the public schools, so long prac- ticed With success In Some of our. sister States, has boon introduced into tho schools lu many, parts of this State. Tho custom is a good one, and worthy of adoption by the School Directors of Carlisle,' a® jroU as Py.tho Directors through out the county generally., Wo believe tho cus tom prevails to some extent in certain schools of this borough, but wo should be glad to bear 1 of ft® introduction into all our schools. Tbe 1 frequent indulgence in this delighffnl-ond, inno cent amusement is not only hcalthful and invig orating, but (ends also to Inspire the youthful heart with emotions of piety, purity andpejico. A choice selection of appropriate hymns, &c., should ho part of the regular exercises of pupils in all the public schools. , • In Germany, and some other countries,music Is universally taught and practiced in all tbe schools, and is considered one of tho most use ful and essential branches of a polite and finish ed education. As a necessary consequence, al most every educated German is a proficient both In-vocal and instrumental music. Indeed, ndtli ing is more inspiring and olovatipg, to the best affections of heart, than tho singing, of chil dren, with their young, pure,.fresh, Innocent Voices, united and commingled together in ‘con cord of ,sweet sounds.* There may bo said to be “a resemblance.between their melody and our Imaginations of tho scraphlo songs of the angels, both without sin,both without gMlt,ond both, wo may hope, free from tho dross of the earth.” By nil means let us havo singing-In our public schools. Wo commend tho suggestion 1 to tho consideration of our County Supcrlntcu- dont. 5 .. ff7“Tbo Itov. toady of tho Harrisburg Trie* graph tdls us‘that when ho was a boy ' school-master compelled him to “learn tho sin gle-rule of three," and ho therefore concludes that ho is entitled to “onoof the tallest offices in tbo government” bccausoofhis me attainments/ If we may judge by the editorials of the Tele graph, his school-master neglected tq learn him many other things'that are considered essential for a respectable man to possess—ho forgot to teach him grammar and good manners.

Beyond all question and doubt, tho belief must force itself upon the mind that these professing cler gymen are designing' demagogues—men im bued with, bitterness and unchristian fueling, who were ready at the first opportunity to for sake their calling to assume political power.— The cflcct, therefore, must inevitably be not on ly to injure tho church itself, but tho cause of Christianity also.'
