To-morrow being Christmas day, and in order to enable all persons connected with the Evening Bulletin to enjoy the holiday, no paper will be issued from this office on that day. CHRISTMAS. There is a peculiar charm about the great festival which the Christian Church has handed down through these past eighteen centuries which belongs to , no other anniversary occasion. Proim the splendid ceremonial of the Church of Borne down to the Puritan siioiplicity of New England theology or the still more positive primness of our own “So ciety of Friends,” all classes and condi tions of Christendom come more or less under its charmed influences. For a time, in the first stem, ascetic Protestantism of the Pilgrim Fathers, the effort was made to crush out everything that was was thought to savor of Borne, or that ■was in any sort “of the earth, earthy.” But the same failure that attended the “Blue laws,” in other respects, at tended the attempt to destroy that traditional regard for the day that commemorates -the birth of the Prince ef Peace. So in the land of Penn. The festivals and fasts, and usages of the Church of England were rigidly eschewed by George Fox and his followers, but neither they nor the soberest of their descendants could alto gether resist the genial witcheries of Christmas or deny to each other or them selves the recognition of this day of kindly feeling and good-will. With each recurring Christmas Day, there is a shifting of the scene which makes it always fresh and new, and yet there is an adherence to old customs and usages that makes each Christmas a living-over again of all its predecessors in the past. There are the same mys terious preparations for the day, and the same eager, impatient, curiosity among the young people, who are to be made happy by the thousand-and-one inge nious devices of parental affection. The same little innocent plots of the chil dren to surprise the parents, and the same affected ignorance of the elders, prepared with stereotyped outbursts of surprise, when the grand crisis of Christ mas at last arrives. Thereare the myri ads of the abodes of poverty and institu tions of charity to be gladdened with the rare treatof a good Christmas dinner, and enriched with the tokens of the hearty sympathies of more favored neighbors. There are Christmas trees to be decked with toys and trinkets and lights,and parlors and halls and churches to be festooned with graceful evergreens. Every device and appliance, by which children’s hearts are to be made glad, and the burdens of the poor, for the one day at least, lifted off, and the rejoicing of the Christian world over an incarnate Saviour made manifest, belong to this day; And yet, athwart even the glow of brightness and innocent hilarity of Christmas Day, as with most of life’s realities, there is always .a growing shadow. As we move forward into or past middle life, Christmas memories mingle with the Christmas music and mirth, that temper the exuberance that once belonged to the enjoyment of the day. All anniversaries have one sad element in them, because there is one vacancy after another to be noted •with each recurrence of the season, and there are few firesides where, amid the unbounded happiness of childhood and the reflected joy of maturer years, there is not some heart quietly keeping down strong memories of a dead Past, lest it should cast a momentary gloomover the merry joyousness of the festal day. Even short of this, there is a sort of well-defined regret at growing too old to look any longer for the Christmas presents that made boyhood or girlhood so happy at this' season. Fortunately, by way of compensation', most pedple are so constituted as practically to realize the Christian precept that “it is more blessed to give than to receive,” and Grandfather ransacking the toyshops for his first grandchild,or the old bachelor uncle, scattering his Christmas boxes,‘in the midst of his little hosts of nephews and nieces, has a keener enjoyment after all than ever he realized in the “days ofauld lang syne.” It is a day to bury away all sad memories out of sight, and if age, or sorrow, or care have chas tened and moderated the capacity for merriment and festivity, the remedy, for the time, is to live life over again on Christmas Day, not in its later asso ciations and suggestions, but in the merry days when life wore nothing but holiday garments, and before wrinkles and rheumatism and spectacles began ’ to admonish of the on-comings of old |frge. It is only by being children again ®sn Christinas Day, that we fully realize Vita by-gone pleasures, and it is the per fection of human wisdom, in more TBE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY, r CEMREK 2i. —TRIPLE SHEET senses than one, always to live like little children. With to-morrow’s daylight, millions . of young hearts will overflow with inno : cent joy, and young and old will again ; give utterance to the old song af Bethle hem “Gloiy to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men!” To our readers and friends we tender all the pleasant compliments of the season, and wish them, in the fullest sense of the words, a very “Happy Christmas!” A GOOD LESSON. The robbery of a. hundred thousand dollars’ worth of securities from the store of Cochran & Co., on last Friday night, hasfcreated a well-founded un easiness with regard to the safely of valuables of all descriptions which business men and others are accustomed, to keep in their own. nosseasion.'Aa fire-proofs, iron safes and brick Avails and arches are a good and sufficient pro tection, hut as honest human ingenuity has np^' ye t achieved what dishonest huma'a ingenuity can not overcome. The. 'whole struggle of modern mechanics is to out-do that which has. already accomplished, and whjle "skill is exhausting itself to defy the of burglars, other skill, ■with icxkiess villainy, is taxed to invent fopH and appliances to penetrate iron ■'Vails and: open cunning locks and rifle strong boxes. i In the case already referred to there was really nothing whatever to interfere with the operations of the robbers. An en trance once effected into the store, the brick wall of the “safe” was easily cut through, and the valuable contents car ried out ana deliberately overhauled! There was no necessity for haste, and the burglars smoked their choice cigars and drank their fine wines and brandies, while they examined boxes and drawers and wallets at their leisure. How they came and how they went with their booty is a matter for the police, but that they should have carried off 5100,000, much of which was in negotiable shape, is simply a lesson of the folly of keeping such valuable property in private and unguarded establishments. Where private watchmen are employed, or ar rangements made by which the police can inspect the interior of a store at all hours of the night, while upon their ordinary patrol, the risk is very slight. But these expedients are rarely resorted to, and behind the solid doors and shut ters of the majority of our business houses, such scenes as those we have described may be enacted at any period of the night, with scarcely a chance of interruption or detection. The consciousness of this danger to which millions of property are hourly exposed, has recently led to the estab lishment of a company whose sole bu siness it is to ensure the safety of all de scriptions of portable valuables. This “Safe Deposit Company,” as it is called, undertakes, at fixed rates of in surance, to take charge of money, deeds, bonds, stocks, jewelry, plate, and all manner of securities, and to hold itself responsible for their safe keeping. This trust, backed by the solid capital of the company, is to be fulfilled by means of the various mechanical safe-guards against fire and theft, protected by the ceaseless pergonal vigilance of such trusty watchmen and other agents as will reduce the chances of loss to the lowest possible minimum. The greater theamount of valuables deposited, the greater will be the inducement, as well as the ability of the company to guard itself and its depositors against loss. The whole idea is an excellent one, and the lesson of the robbery on Friday night will probably result in commend ing it to the approval of all who, likh Wemmick, have a just appreciation of the importance of their “portable pro perty.” I.ONG-A-COMING. Long-a-Coming, N. J., having built itself a new meeting house, and placed a steeple upon it, and having put up some new dwellings with “modern im« provements,” has got proud, and is be coming ashamed of the ancient name. It desires to be known hereafter in the Gazetteers as “Dayton,” a name which it esteems very much more re spectable than its original title. This is suggestive of the story of Ped lington, an English town, which having got up a new pump, or improved the parish lock-up with a coat of whitewash, applied to have its name changed to Great Pedlington. The Commission ap pointed by. Parliament to consider the matter, took all things into considera tion, and accordingly changed the name of ; the town to Little Pedlington. The point of this application is this: All the importance that. Long-a-Coming has ever attained since its old days of drowsiness that were only disturbed by the hum of the mosquito or the sting of the sand-burr, is due to the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. This road,has opened upjto market millions of acres of land between Camden and the ocean that would else have remained as wild as the days when Columbus set sail upon his' voyage of discovery. These wild lands have appreciated in value enormously since the opening of the road. A city has sprung up by thesea asa consequence of the construction of the road, and laud that waß formerly almost given away by the acre, is now huckstered out by the foot. There were some public-spirited and far-seeing Jerseymen who contribu ted, liberally towards the accomplish ment of this work; but the subscriptions made in the sandy State came from a very few persons, and they were princi pally from men who had already evinced their enterprise by developing the manu facturing interests of the State. Philadelphia capitalists also put their shoulders to the financial wheel of the work most handsomely, and both they, and the liberal few in New Jeraey, have receivedbut few direct returns for the outlay, while Jerseyat large has derived ' golden advantages from the important enterprise. A comparatively few. paid most of the cost, and the Jersey many secured most of the advantages. is notorious that native Jerseymstfi who have been enriched by the appreciation in the value of their land; as a conse quence of the cpnstruc&on of the road, resort to eyery eXs'edient, whether of 'shallop or horse i&ams, to save a penny in the freight'charges made by the rail road company. Long-a-Comingmay be un exception to this rule of a desire to win without staking anything, on the tails-you-loseprinciple. If let it be henceforth known, as Day ton, and much joy may it have of the change; but if this revivified town did nothing for the road that lifted it out of its ancient lethargic condition of obscu rity, then let its name be changed, as the name of Pedlington was changed, and let it be henceforth known as Short coming. A SHAKING Of DRY RONES. There is fear and trepidation among the recent appointees in the Internal Bevenue department. The Senate is “after them with a sharp stick,” and although their fate has been postponed until after the holidays, it hangs over their heads like the sword of the Syra cusan gentleman so often spoken of as having had his appetite spoiled by mar tial cutlery. It is the skeleton in the house, the avenging spirit, the accusing angel, the pursuing shadow, the every thing of that kind that makes evil-doers, or those who profit by the evil-doing of others, feel uncomfortable and apprehen sive. Throughout the States and territories there are two hundred and twenty Internal Bevenue districts, each of which is entitled to an Assessor and Collector. They are generally lu crative offices, and from the large num ber of subordinates under the control of the Collectors and Assessors, they have a large political influence. Of the four hundred and forty principals, Andrew Johnson has removed no less than two hundred and fifteen, or nearly one-half, and for no other reason than that they continued to adhere to the principles which that distinguished renegade has deserted. A perusal of the list of the decapitated, with the date of their de capitations, will reveal some curious facts. About the time of the Wigwam Convention,and when the President was inspired with full confidence,theaxe was plied nimbly, and heads fell into the basket with a celerity that was most cheering to the hungry Copperheads who had got a taste of blood, and who had a most rampant, Oliver Twistish de sire for“more.” The Fall elections threw a terrible wet blanket over these lively doings, and even Andrew Johnson took the significant popular hint, or he dreaded the meeting of Congress, for while sixty heads went into the basket during fifteen days, at about the time of the meeting of the Wigwamites, there were but four decapitations during the fifteen days prior to the first of Decem ber. It is understood that the Senate, while in Executive session, haye deter mined not to take up these appoint ments until after the holidays, and they promise that they will then give them such a sifting as will separate the wheat from the tares. There is a cheerful look out ahead for the Johnsonised democrats and the democratised Bepublicans who have sold out their principles for a mess of Internal Bevenue pottage. Like the boy who has been promised a whipping after the company have gone, they are not in a frame of mind to enjoy their Christmas turkey and mince-pie. It was a refinement of cruelty for the Sen ate to treat them thus; but “the way of the transgressor is hard,” and having made their election they must “grin and bear” its consequences. Below will be found a list of the new Assessors and Collectors in Pennsylvania, with the date of their appointments. Their sym pathising friends can study them at their leisure: COLLECTORS.

The fiewly appointed Postmasters, Collectors of Customs and other subordi nates of the Departments at Washing ton, who have taken the places of true Republicans because the latter were faithful and consistent, must have pa tience; their turn will come in good time. They must keep calm until after the holidays. A PLEASANT OCCASION. The Press Club of this city celebrated its third anniversary on Saturday even ing by a banquetattheLa Pierre House. The affair was a great success, and it tended to illustrate the influence for good which is accomplished by this associa tion of journalists. As a general rule, the members of the newspaper 'frater nity are not remarkable for eminently harmonious professional intercourse,and in some cities they drag their differences before the public in a manner that ex hibits quite as much bad taste as it shows ill temper. The Press Club of this city has done much to promote the “era of good feeling” by bringing pro fessional brethren together in kindly social intercourse. The Galaxy.— I The January number of this excellent, fortnightly magazine com mences the third volume of one of the most successful magazine enterprises ever started in this country. As a substantial proof of this Messrs. W.;C. <fc F. P. Church have enlarged the “Galaxy” by the addi tion of sixteen pages, and the use of hew and very handsome type. The contents of the January number are very varied and attractive. Anthony Trollope’s ' story, “The Claverings,” is continued, and a new story, “Tristan,” by Edward Spencer, is commenced. Mr. Wm, C. Churoh con tributes a temperate and well-written paper against the policy of confiscation, though his argument is scarcely strong enough to make many converts.. “The Quest for English,” by Bichard Grant White, is a brief but very interesting disquisition on the inaccuracies of the best English stand ard writers, illustrated chiefly by extracts from the “Spectator.” Several other good prose and poetical articles appear in this number of the “Galaxy.” Few American periodicals deserve a more cordial and gen eral patronage, and there will probably be a largely increased subscription, with the commencement of this new volume.
