On Christmas night, an orphan child
Walked trembling through the snow,
With sighs he marked the hurrying guests
Pass gaily to and fro.
With sighs he marked the many lights
Outshining far and nigh;
The night was dart: and over all
There arched a starless sky.-
Ile heard the sound of dancing (ca—
lla heard the music's strain ;
Ile saw the shadows flitting by
On many a window-pane;
And presently the tapers beamed
From many a Christmas Tree—
"l wish," the child in anguish cried,
A bough were dressed for me !"
So passed be up and down the street
Till guests began to part;
Poor boy? Each kindly word they spoke
Breathed sorrow to his heart.
Each echo of their festal mirth
Called forth his tears like rain—
" I'll go," said he, to yonder wood,
And pray to Got again !"
He laid Win down upon the snow—
The snow so soft and white—
And scarcely were his eyelids closed
When visions of delight,
Like sundown beanie"' upon his soul—
.' Dear child," an angel cries,
"Come quick with me, thy Christmas Tree
Is blooming in the skies !"
If the widow's humble smile
Received the Savior's praise,
Shall not your mite be blest
In these later days?
~ Nye ! every deed of love
Is a bright and sparkling gem,

Christmas Day is regarded throughout
the Christian world as tie.itriportant day
of the year, and whether the birth of Christ
occurred on the twenty-fifth cloy of Decem
ber, or a few days earlier or biter, is a mat
ter of no great moment. The significance
of setting apart a day, consists in the fact
that all Christians by general consent tic
'eept a specified time for the celobirution of
this event.

In pagan Rome, there was a yearly cele
bration called the Saturnalia, or Festival of
Saturn, which was marked by the preva
lence of a universal license and merry-mak
ing. The slaves were then permitted to en
joy a period of freedom in speech and be
havior; every one feasted and rejoiced;
work and business were entirely suspend
ed ; houses were decorated with laurels
and evergreens; presents were made by
,parents and friends, and all sorts of games
and amusements were indulged in by the
citizens. In the early ages of Chirstianity,
' its Ministers , frequently experienced diffi
culty in inducing tile converts to ruff ain
from indulging, in the popular a musewen ts,
which were so hugely participated iu by
their pagan neighbors. At last influenced,
partly by the inefficacy of denunciations,
and partly by the idea that the spirit of
Christianity might thereby be advanced,
the Church endeavored to amalgamate, as
it were, the old and new religions, and
sought, by transferring the heathen cere
monies to the solemnities of the Christian
,festivals, to make them subservient to the
cause of religious piety.
Engrafted thus on the Roman Saturnalia,
Christmas festivities received, in England,
further changes and modifications, by hay-
InggtiPeradded to them, first, the Druidical
rites and superstitions, and then, after the
arrival of the Saxons, the various ceremo
nies praCticed by the ancient Germans.
The result has been the strange medly of
Christian and pagan rites, which contribute
to make up the festivities of the modern
Christmas. Thus, ceremonies, rites and
symbols, once full of meaning to pagans,
:have been transferred without their mean
ta.Chrigtians, and have come-to have
all entirely new and different signification.
'This, at least, is true: they - have come to
mean joy fit the birth of the Saviour ; joy in
view of his love for mankind ; joy In bury
ing animosities and reviving friendship
among men; - and last, but not least, in
Opening peculiar joy to millions of little
folks, who are not old enough to under
stand the mysteries of mythology, or the
intricacies of theology.
On the evening of the twenty-fourth of
December, or Christmas Eve, the Christ
mas holidav may be said to commence.
Sir Walter Scott gives a picture of Christ
mas' Eve in olden time, in verse, as fol

I want a kiss from Berlin,
Little Bertie, in - whose eyes,
Beams the smile of summer mornings
With the blue of summer skies.
I am thinking, often thinking
• In my anguish, grief and pain,
Shall I ever live to see him,
And be kissed by him again.
I want a kiss from Dertie,
Whose little, tender years,
Have numbered but two summers
Of baby smiles and tears;
And the little feet just started
On the hidden path of life,
To meet its cares and trials,
Its sorrow and its strife.
I want a kiss from Berne,
Whose sinless, rosy Lips,
Give kisses like the honey
That the bee from clover sips.

-Ifs History
Christmas-
lisp and the Roman ceremonies, customs
and ideas, the result is a day of days, with
a central idea, but with many converging
associations widespread, rendering, the day
rich in composite symbols, centralized upon
the one great thought, Messiah God
with us!
Hanging up the stocking, for Santa Claus
to fill with good things for the good ; and
rods for the bad, is of German origin ; and
when the doors of the parlor are opened,
and the bright eyes and palpitating hearts
of the little ones come in to see what the
Christmas tree bears for them, who can esti
mate the joy that belts the Christian world,
on this great anniversary of the year?
Many of the grotesque ceremonies of
ancient time, have hcen laid. aside, but all
that was sweet and rich, has been cherished
and ripened—bringing light to the dark
corners of the world, awaking joy in thou
sands of hearts, whose sorrows had else
made than feel estranged from men and
forgotten of God. .A.s in old pagan times,
when Christianity was in its infancy,
Christmas had its abuses, so at present it is,
with many, the occasion of dissipation and
evil. Wu have sometimes been amazed,
that men who are celebrating Christmas
with such hilarity and zeal, should so far
forget the commands of the Saviour, whose
birth they celebrate, us to violate all the
precepts of the religion be came to estab
lish, by drunkenness, wrangling, and other
excesses. •
Let us hope that all our readers will re
member that Christmas means forgiveness
of enemies ; the lifting up, and encourage
ment of those who are bowed down ; the
ministrations of mercy to those who are in
need; the deepening and re-establishment
of friendship and affections, and the re
membrance that lie whose birth is celebrat
ed, requires pureness of life and correct
ness of conduct, as well as faith in his mis
sion, and an adherence to religious services.
Let this be a day
. when laid habits shall be
abandoned, and good habits entered upon,
that the Christ may be to us salvation in
deed, as well as in name. Let each of us
contribute, by word and by deed, something,
be it little or much, toward bettering the
condition of those around and among us;
and it will be to all, what we wish it may
be, dear reader, to you and yours—A HA I'HY

Woman's Laws
Mark Twain says when women fraine
laws, the first thing they do will be to
enact:
1. That all men should be at home at ten
P. M., without fail.
2. That married men should bestow con
siderable attention on their own wives.
3. That, it should be .t hanging offence to
sell whisky in saloons, and that tines and
disfranchisement should follow it in such
places.
A. That the smoking of eight rs to txxt!vt,,,
should be forbidden, -and the smoking of
pipes be utterly abolished.
J. That the wife should have the title other
own property when she marries a man
that had't any.
" Such tyranny as this," says Mark, ",wtt
could never stand. Our free souls could
never endure such degrading thraldom.
Women, go away ! Seek not to beguile us
of our imperial privileges. Content your
selves with your little feminine trifles—
your babies, your benevolent societies and
your knitting—and let your natural bosses
do the voting. Stand back—you will be
wanting to go to war next. We will let
you teach school as much as you want to,
and pay you half prices, too; but beware!

Methodist, and Roman Catholic—met by
agreement to dine on fish. Soon as grace
was said the Catholic rose, armed with a
knife and fork, taking about one-third or
the ti-h, einnprehending the bead, removed
it to his plate, exclaiming, as he sat down,

one-third, embracing the tail, seated him

crowns the work." The Presbyterian now
thought it was about time for !din to move,
and hiking the remainder of the fish to his
plate explained, "ln media est veritus—
Truth lies between the two extremes."
Our Baptist brother bad nothing before hint
