CHRISTMAS.
Monday next will recur the anniver
sary of the birth of Christ—u day cele
brated throughout the Christian world
in commemoration of tjmt grandest
event in the history of the human race.
What an era it was I How do the
greatest of other events in the history
of the World sink into insignificance by
comparison with that! Since His ad
vent, eighteen hundred and seventy
one years have glided away Into the
eternity of the past. During that pe
riod of time what mtghty changes have
been wrought ?n the world I What do
not art and science and civilization owe
to the inculcation of the great law of
love, which was the corner stone upon
which he built? “Love your ene
mies.” “A new commandmenj;! give
unto you, that ye love one another.”
Such were the simple precepts upon
which is reared a system “grander than'
all philosophy, more enduring than the
kingdoms of earth, more perfect than
human codes, more ennobling than
science and art, and more conducive to
the welfare of_ humanity than all other
agencies combined. The birth of Christ
not only opened to the world a now era
in which the arts of civilized life have
grown and. multiplied, but it gave an
added value to the life of every indi
vidual within the scope of Christendom.
His teaching gave a grandeur and dig
nify to every unit in the great sum of
humanity, never felt or known belore.
A human life dedicated to the pursuits,
which he enjoined, carries about it a
halo of glory from the cradle to tile
grave. It has the sure promise of an
immortality beyond the tomb.
“He went about doing good."—
Through the mist and shadows of more
than, eighteen centuries, that simple
record of his illustrious life survives
and inspires his true followers to emu
late his example. A pillar of humani
ty, he towers as much above all other
men as his simple religion of love
towers above the systems of human
philosophy and wisdom, and to him
the world pays its homage. With Ifis
eye of faith turned to his Great Proto
type, the dying Christian exhorts his
fellows to
“ Keep tho faith ami light tho battle,
For a cowd awaits you, Lo!
X behold tho glory breaking f
Do not hold mo! Lot mo go.”
That the CJiristian world commemo
rates tho day of his birth, is no matter
of wonder. It owes to his memory a
debt of gratitude that can never be
paid. The self-abnegation, tho meek
ness, thespotless virtue wh'ch ennobled
his life can never be equalled among
the children of men. His code of laws
is a priceless legacy to the world. Then
lot the world bow in adoring homage
to his memory on his natal day. Let
it emulate his virtues. Let a new re
solve fill the hearts of all who share the
light he shed upon the world, to follow
his example in works of charity and
love. Eemembering that he lived for
all men and all ages, let every follower
of his renew his resolution not to live
for himself alone, hut to brighten his
pathway to eternity by relieving the
sufferings of others, by thinking chari
tably of his neighbors, by kind words
and Christian deeds, and by trampling
down and stifling the low and greedy
instincts of his coarser nature. So may
we all properly celebrate Christmas
day, and so doing may rise
“ On stopping stones of our dead solves
To higher things.”
“ Aud deem tho Irrevocable past
.Not wholly wasted, wholly vain,
.If rising on Us wrecks at last,
To something nobler we attain.”
We tender.our readers the congratu
lations of tne season, and wish one and
all, old and young, high and low, rich
and poor, saint and sinner, a right
11 merry Christmas.” May it be their
good fortune to surround bountifully
spread tables, pass the day enjoyably,
and have a good time generally.—
Christmas! As we write the word
thoughts of happy, hilarious, long-to
be-remembered festivities flit through
our mind. Christmas! What associa
tions cling argund its memories.—
Away, then, for the time, .with all
thoughts of sorrow, with all memories
that perplex the mind or- afflict the
heartland let. us think of nothing but
imparting or receiving happiness and
pleasure. This is no season for eom
plainiHg. The old owe it to tlie young
that no shade of sadness should cheek
their fervor of expectations of enjoy
ment, The rich owe it to the poor that
charity with open hand and heart,should,
be busy in dispensing its gifts at the peri
od which reminds us of Uiiri, who give
all for us. The happy owe it to the
afflicted, that the “ bruised reed” si mil
be lifted.up and the sorrowing heart
shall not,go uncomfo rfed. But, above
all, it is to the dear little ones that we
owe at this time our smiles and favors
It is emphatically childhood’s holiday,
and it is the privilege of all to admin
ister something, though it be a “ trifle
light as air,” to its enjoyment.
Lot us all welcome this, returning
holiday, forgot old grudges and form
new friendships. Though it comes as
-the-harhinger-(>f-a-dying-y<iar,-it-alsp_
c anes as the herald of a new one—one
that may bring us blessings and Joys
not anticipated. I.et us observe it in
the spirjt of Christian fortitude and
resignation ns to what Is past and with
hope and confidence as to what is yet
to come. A Happy Christmas and
Joy to All,
Death of William Reily —A tele
gram from Philadelphia gives us the
melancholy information that ouf well
known townsman, William Relley, was
found dead in his bed at the Girard
House, (where bo was book-keeper,)
vesterday- (Wednesday) morning. Mr.
Roily was a most excellent citizen, and
was well known throughout the county,
having acted ns Clerk to the Board of
County Commissioners for many years.
Wo regret his death sincerely and sym

bereavement.
Mammoth Oyskrs.— Allison (opposite
the Bentz House, High street) makes It
a point to keep big oysters. Ho sent us a
present of a dozen yesterday, and. con
sidering that an oyster is an oyster the
world over, iwe attempted to swallow
one, Itwus no go, and had we not de
sisted la our rash attempt, there would
have been one editor less in Carlisle at
this writing. They were, indeed, the,
largest and most luscious oysters we have
overseen. Mr. A. Intends to keep plenty
of “ the same sort” on bund during the
winter months.

C'ABLISLB, Deo. 11, 1871,

After everybody hud partaken, the fp’-

Todd, who presided, and were responded
"Our Quest."
To which Judge Graham responded as
fo’Tows';
-Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen :
T hardly know In whnt words to con
vey to you my thanks for your kind and
geperous mark of esteem. This even
ing’s entertainment Is peculiarly grateful
to my heart, because the actors have been
thecritics and censors of mv judicial life.
You, as members of the bar; have watch
ed the course of Judge with careful scru
tiny. ami alter twenty vears observation,
when the judicial robes am laid aside
and I am again an humble citizen, yon
le der this token of your appreciation.
Coming as it does from you here present,
•It is most ngneuble. for it induces me
to believe ihat my life has not been In
vain, and that my honest endeavors to do
impartial Justice receive your hearty ap
prnvnl. Perfection Is an attribute of
God; to err is human; wherein my.judg
ment has been at fault, you discern an
error of'the head lyirt not of the heart,
and to yon I say that after our long and
intimate relations as judgeatu) altorne* s.
f am Impny in your esteem and good
will; and proud to know that after the
~MiTfiTh"~of‘~partizan”fee!lng-h«B-8|miiL-Hp_
tome, and the apber judgment of com
mon sense and reason resumed its sway,
you thus generously express iour klndlv
feelings and approbation of the manner I
have di-chorged my official duties,
I am your guest ;to night, the guest of
the Carll-Ie Par. You, gentlemen, have
un honorable and enviable reputation to
maintain. Upon you has fallen the
mantle of some of Pennsylvania’s most
prolmind jurists. From this bar have
gone forth men who have graced and
honored the, Hupreme Bench. Who m
wm do not know of Gibson ami Duncan,
tsi»i that other great Jurist and distin
guished advocate of the Carlisle Bur,
David Watts? AnTl who of y« u do not
admire these for their learning and dis
tinguished ability as jurists? Such as
these have here 'earned the first rudiments
of the profession which they adorned, and
to your keeping Is entrusted the reputa
tion of the Carlisle Bar. which those
giants did so much to advance. Bee to It
that this legacy Is well Kept, and that a
reputation already State-wide, shall not
lessen In your hands.
As I glance about mo to-night through
the length and breadth of this room, I
fall to discover a single face that I met
at the bar when I was admitted to prac
tice, except our friend Mr. Hamilton,
who has honored us with his presence to
night. A wondrous change these years
have wrought! And us T look around I
almost feel lonely in the absence of
forms then so familiar.
Where are the once familiar faces of
Andrew Carothers, Geo. A. Dyon, Isaac
B Parker, VVm. Ramsey, Samuel Alex

In the quiet of the grave until “ the lost

Of the fourteen members of the bar
which my memory now recalls as In
active practice when I was first admitted,
but four enrvivor-Mr* Metzgar, Mr.
Hamilton, Judge Watts and Bishop M f -
Cnakry. The two former, years since,
have retired from the active and laborl-.
ous duties of their profession, and are
now happily enjoying, in a greeh old
age, the fruits of .(heir labors. Otium
cum dignitatc. The two latter, the jun
iors In years of the former, still engaged
In the Active duties of life, with the ener
gy of youthful vigor. Judge Watts hon
ored with an honorable place In the
administration of govern
ment, the Bishop leading the wayward
wanderers In the green pastures and be
, side the still waters of eternal life.
Gentlemen of the Carlisle Bar: [ sbalfr
always treasure ns very precious to me,
the remembrance of this evening spent
in your company, as your guest. It is a
legacy more valuable tbau gold or
jewels, folp It is an evidence of your ap
preciation of my official duty. Nothing
that X can bequeath to posterity will be
more highly prized, for neither moth
nor rust can corrupt, nor can It be stolen

A Grand Concert.— Rheem’s Hall
was .crowded, on Friday evening last,
with us intelligent and brilliant an audi
ence as wee/er saw assembled in this
borough, to listen to the concert of* the
Mendelssohn Quintette Club of Boston-
The concert was a splendid success, from
the first to the lust number on the pro
gramme their performance was so artistic,
so highly finished, as to leave no room
for adverse criticism; It was the very
soul of music. As individual perform
ers they are unsurpassed. Mr. Heindl’s
performance on the flute, was superior to
anything we ever heard before. While
in the solo for violin, by Mr, Schultze,
the audience seemed to loose all self-con
sciousness in the exquisite sweetness of
the music. The fantasy for clarinette,
composed and performed by MK Ryan,
merited and won an encore. The vio-
Hncello is not generally considered an
instrument of melody, but in the bands
of a master like. Mr. Fries the belief does
not hold good. His representation of
different instruments, was inimitable.—
Last, though not least, is Mrs. Weston,
who, in addition to beauty of face and
person and a most tender and winning
smile, Ims a sweet and powerful mezzo
soprano voice, admirably adapted to tbe
singing of English ballad music, which
she rendered in effective style and which
added greatly to the evening’s entertain
ment.
We have before said that the lecture
committee did a wise thing in deciding
that at least one entertainment of the
course should be a concert, and we are
now satisfied that they did even a wiser
thing in securing the services of the
Quintette Club.
Be Generous.—Our carrier* C. A.
Embfck, will be around, on Monday
Jan. Ist, with his annual New Year’s
Greeting, and*we bespeak for him a
substantial welcome from our patrons.
Charlie is an industrious, frugal and
deserving lad, and has faithfully dis
charged his duties in sunshine and in
storm. We will pledge him to make
good use of his earnings* Remember,
the. Lord loveth a cheerful giver.'
Judicial.—Our new Associate Judges,
Messrs. Clemleuin and Montgomery,
took their places on the Bench, on Tues
day 12th iust., and performed the duties
of their offices with becoming grace and
dignity. They are both mtoll gent and
worthy gentlemen, and are- eminently
fitted for the exalted positions they have
been chosen to fill.
• On Wednesday the ,19th. an argument
court was held, Hon. B. F. Junkln, tire
new elected President „udge, presiding.
Judge Juohin bids fair to makea prompt,
courteous aud Impartial officer. '
The regular monthly mteiing of the

The Next Lecture.— The next lec
ture of the course will be delivered on
Tuesday evening, January 9, 1872, by
Hon. Win. Parsons, of Ireland, who has
been lecturing in this country for the
past two years, to delighted audiences.—
Hls’subjcct is Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
The New York Herald, in its report of
his lecture at Cooper Institute, says:
“ Mr. Parsons spoke without notes or
manuscript, and with a vigor, fluency
and beauty of language that evoked re
peated rounds of applause.” The Hew
London (Conn.) Star, says: “A large
audience listened with irrepressible
pleasure to bis lecture on Sheridan. Of
tbe lecture, it can be truly said that it
carried with it the sweetest, saddest mor
al that can be given ; and this sweet, sad
moral was so tenderly told, as to.make
Its delivery delightful.” The Leavery'
worth limes saysr “The lecture
illuminated by flashes of- wit Ibat/were
rewarded by hearty applause.’* The
Altoona Tinbune says: “Xfc was u most
brilliant effort. Mr. Parsons Is a rapid
and fluent speaker, with a graceful and
pleasing position on-ibe platform ; and
for an hour and a half, without any ref
erence or memoranda,., bla burning
eloquence was heralded forth, and equal
ly devoured by his hearers.” The Titus
ville Courierm ys: “Mr. Parsons possesses
that rare faculty of description that the
audience are led captive through a series
of finely drawn pictures. The various
scenes in Sheridan’s life are shown forth*
in a perfect panoramic system. Mr. Par
sons is one of the ablest and most elo
quent orators in tbe lecture field.” The
Washington Republican says; “ The
lecturer was Jjsteued to with marked at
tention throughout, and at times had his
audience in roars of laughter, over some
of the many anecdotes connected with
the life of tbe great Irish orator, play
wright and wit, Sheridan. The anec
dotes were told with an originality and
raclnesa which was heartily appreciated,
and the eloquent passages received a
fitting recognition of applause.”
A Western Marriage.—We are
pleased to see, by the Prairie (Nebraska)
Tribune, that Mr. James Liggot, former
ly of this place, was recently united in
the holy bonds of wedlock, at that place,
to Miss Emma Luliaster. James Is an
honest, enterprising, thorough-going
young man, and we wish him abundant
success, financially and matrimonially.
A District Convention ot tho Y. M.
C. A. will be held in this place, on the
4th and sth of next month. The Con
vention will be held under the auspices
of the Carlisle Association. Tho fitat®
Secretary and other officers of tho
“organization—wifi—participate-in-thc
exorcises. Delegates and visitors from
Phila., Harrisburg, York, and other
Associations in tho vicinity, are ex
pected to be present. The series of
meetings held in •the jail, on sabbath
afternoons, and conducted by the Asso
ciation, were closed for the present on
last Sabbath. These meetings have
been largely attended and made quite
interesting and instructive to alLpar
ticipatlng in them.
Terrible Scourge.— The family of
Jacob Shive, residing in Manchester
township, near Liverpool, has recently
been severely scourged through the
agency of that terrible disease, typhiod
fever.. Death has in vaded the threshold
and struct from the family roll, four of
its inmates—two sons, a daughter, and
a daughter-in-law, whose respective
ages were 23, 26, 29, and 82 years.—
There are still four more of the mem
bers of the family afflicted, three of
whom are confined to their beds and
'the fourth one bus so far recovered as
to be able to walk about in the room,
and, it is hoped, all will finally recover.
The people residing in the neighbor
hond, have naturally become so much
alarmed at the terrible ravages and
rapid spread of the disease, that
they were afraid to vh-it the family In
their affliction, and the father and
mother were left alone to share their
sorrows and griefs with each other.—

Eclectic Magazine.—The Eclectic is
not behind Ha rivals In pointer enter-
prise and promptness, and the tgiraber
/or January, 1872, is already at band.—
With this number the magazine enters
upon the 28th year of its existence, and
the Prospectus, weir claims that without
merits of a sterling and high order no
periodical could have lived so long. It
is also promised that during the coming
year "the Ate/ccrte shall be more tborouh
ly representative than ever before of the,
host aspects of foreign - thought and lit—
erature,” and from our knowledge of the
magazine we feel confided that fids
promise will be fulfilled.
The January issue may fairly be called
a jubilee number, and is brim full of
attractions. There are two fine steel
engravings of unusual size and beauty,
one representing “Washington Irving
and His Friends” (containing no less
lhari fourteen portraits of Irving and the
other literary celebrities who were his
contemporaries), and the oilier copied
from Jno. Gilbert’s famous historic pic
ture of “Cardinal Woolsey and the Duke
Buckingham.”
The table of contents, ns is customary
with the Eclectic , combines the instruo
live and the entertaining In about equal
parts, and leads off with a line essay on
“Byron and Tennyson” from the Quar-
terly, which will do much towards bring
ing about a right appreciation of “the
greatest English poet since Shakespeare.”
There is an amusing narrative, translated
from the Revue den Deux JSPondca, enti
tled. “A Frenchman oh His Travels—
Round the World In One Hundred and
Twenty Days;” an Intensely dramatic
sketch of the life and death of “Marie
Antoinette;” “Notes on Flying Ma
chines,'” “The Prisoners of Nature
“Comets and Comets’ Tails;” a thought-
ful and striking article “On the Condi-
in~Englandv ,, “
by Thomas Wright; “Alexandre Du
mas “An Open Polar Ocean “Fe
nmleCulturein thelSth Century;” “The
Lofodon Islands;” and others. The.fine
novel, “Pa/fy,” Is concluded, and an
other is announced from the pen of Wm.
Black, one of the most popular of the
English novelists. The Editorial De
partments, Literary Notices, Science,
Art, and Varieties are very full and
entertaining, and as this is but a speimen
of the magazine, wo advice those to
examine it who wish to be sure of good
literature during tho coming year,
E. R. Pelton, Publisher, 108 Fulton
Street, New York. Terms $5 per year;
two copies $9; single copies 45 cents.
The Lady’s Friend for January.
—A splendidly embellished number,
leading oil with a spirited skating pic
ture, “The Poet Qrethe at Frankfurt,”
engraved in the highest style of art.—
There are also a beautiful colored Fash
ion Plate, and choice wood engravings,
with a profusion of fashion illustrations.
The music is ‘‘Why, Dearest, wilt Thou
Leave Me?” The llterory matter Is
excellent, the poems particularly good ;
one of them by Miss Mary Prescot being
finely Illustrated. Mrs. Henry Wood's
new novel is called ‘‘Within the Maze;
or. Lady Audlnnlan’s Trial,” and opens
with a great deal.of Interest, which Is
certain to deepen In Intensity ns the
story runs on. “Mlssloa Work,” and
The Shadow of a Ghost,” are enlivened
by those spirited story illustratlonswhlch
are especially of thlsmagaziue. ‘‘Queen
Ooqnettn,” one of the serials, promises
to bo a novelet of superior order. Every
doparthaeut of tbe Lady's friend is
admirably filled, making it all that a
lady rouldydesire. Price $2.00 a year.
Four copies, si> Eight’copies (and one
gratis) $12,00. “Tho Lady’s Friend”

Again ahead of all i is the exclam
ation we made on opening “ Peterson’s
Magazine” for January. Ills impossible
to conceive how a lady’s book could bo
handsomer, or more perfect. *•! Wonder
if I Could Dance.” the. principal steel
plate, Is one of the most charming we.
have ever seen. Another steel-plate is
‘‘The New Governess,” illustrating a
beautiful tale by the author of “ Kath
leen’s Love-Story.” The double-size
mammoth, colored, steel fashion plate is
a gem of loveliness: these colored, mum
■ moth steel with
“Peterson.” Then t|ier© is a superb
Berlin pattern, In colors, for a chair seat,
such as, at a store, would cost fifty cents,
or even more. But It is impossible to
tell the beauties of “Peterhou” for Janu
ary, the number and variety of them are
so great. Two powerfully written novel
ets are begun in this number : “ The Is
land of Diamonds,” by that ftvoritc
writer, Harry Danforth, and “Bought
with a Price,” by Mrs. Ami S. Stephens.
Thisjs unquestionably the cheapest of
the really good Magazines. The price is
but two dollars a year, wf(h great re
ductions to clubs; and splendid premiums
are offered to the persons getting up
clubs. Specimens are sent gratis. We
advise parties to see a specimen before
subscribing for anything else. Address,

filling his ice-houses by contributing
their teams to haul the ice without
any remum ration.

chilled from any cause, may have their
circulation at once restored by. taking
into the stomach a teaspoon fill of John
