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

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:

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.
