_ 3SamikrrAi,. Witt. C0.,.1LL., Dec. 25, 'S6
Matta& .Entrons:—A_ . merry . Christmas
to yoti and Your-readers, one and all! As
fou gather closer around Your winter's fire
side, it may be that a few. lines from one, a
native of your county, and almost his •whole
life a resident there, but for a - few' weeks
past an inhabitant of the "Sucker Stme,"
may not, hounacceptable. I would not how
ever trespass upon }our patience but fur the
probability that this may. fall into the hands
of some whose interest- in the Writer may
compensate, in their view, - for the lack of-in
terest in what is written. Nor is this all.—
Having nothing"to do to-day, with all day to
do it in, some method must be adopted to
kill time, and I seize the most feasible and
plea-quit one. A. would go out gunning; for
the quails and - prairie chickens fly over tne as
I pass to the.grove, with most audacious te
.merity; but fortunately- for them and per
haps-for myself also, Lam not the possessor
of any kind of firearms. My mission being
that of a.humble pedag ogue, I um generally
supposed to he aimed with weapons very
difirent from thoSe, and the gentle tenants
of the prairie and the grove•go past me un
molested to their biding places. •
j To-day is, here, With one exception, just
such a Christmas as romantic lovers and their
iconlidingfair ones are said to delighy
There is no - sleighing, but the day is ealm
bright and beautiful, and nature reposes in
more than wonted l"Veliness. -, It is only
when .we leave the blazing fire and , To out
of doors that we begin to realize that spring!
lis not Yet here. it is a Winter's day- in all
.•
its glory. The grove, the prairie, and even
I -the uni-ightly slough, sparkle with the lustre
of a myriad diamonds in the bright • sun- .
beams.. The ground is nearly half covered
with ice, and the traveling is a curious mon
grel between sleighing and wagoning, the
'latter decidedly predominating: Instead of
the merry .ringing of the Christmas sleigh
bell:, so fluniliar at. the east, we hear the
sharp and frequent rattle of the wagon upon
the fiozen ground. f •
I am fully impressed with the,idea that
this is a "fist" country —that I :int
,among
a "fast" people. Every thing here scents
to be going forward with steam-impelled ve
locity. Ilad Galileo lived-here: the truth of
his assertion, "Theworld does niove," would
not have been so long questioned. Cities
and towns spring up as if by magi . C, the off.
spring of a single year. Railroads, those
iron veins of internal commerce, now inter.
sect almost every portion of the state, form
ing a complete network, and converging at
that great com met vial center and metropolis,
Chiengo, ulieh is to the body commercial,
what_ the heart is to the body physical. -Ill
inois is destined to the one of the first states
in the Union. Already she stands fourth in
the list in her popular vote at the recent
Presidential election, and the time is not far
distant when she will achieve that greatness!
which her central-position, the enterprise of . ;
her populationy'and the unexatnple . d fertility
