Christmas originally was a festival of .the
church, and still is, in some denominations, ob
served as such. But when. Christmas is spo : .
hen of now-a.days, it does not evoke the idea
of a -holy.day but rather of a holiday, when
cares and business are to be laid aside,.and
pleasurea and amusements to be substituted. in
their stead—when new friendships are to be
formed and.cild ones to be. confirmed—when
-wasting toil is to give way to wholesome relax
ation both of mind.and bAy—when close-fisted
parsimony is to open , his hand without the
long-drawn sigh—when people are to acknowl
edge by their '.conduct, their 'appreciation of
the truth that,.although the chief. end .of man
is to make money, that , wis not the only end
and object of his Preation-when they are ex
pected -to acknowledge also this other truth,
that. there is ".a time to laugh," and this other
that there is " a time to kill"—chickens..and
a time to. ear, them.. All these tratbs.go fitly
together, and are aptly placed side by side, for
" A hearty laugh helpeth digestion, .
And eerveth to shake to cob-webs out of the brain."
And again :
"A merry heart doeih good like iimedicirie;
But a broken spirit drietb the bones."
'ln fact and sober truth, -we Americans have,or
at least take, too few holidays. No other nation
in the world-is 'so little given to diversions and
the enjoyment of life. Even good old mother
England—good, notwithstanding " beligerent
rights" and "the Trent affair"—ffolies and
capers twice to - Young Ameiida's •onte, and
once to . our no times. In all Catholic commies
the inhabitants devote a 'great number Of days
is the' year to sports and . recreationi althouizb
they aie generally very- poor and not at all to
be ccmi'pered,as to their pecuniary circumstances
and means of enjoyment,` with the citizens of
our happy land. And yet; yerhaps, they are
more happy in their liVes and go to their graves
with a better appreciation of the goodness of
ptaiiti His creation'of the world and man then
we who have been more highly favored.. We
think it an absolute waste'of time 'to do any;
thing except 'make money—or war; both of
which are very serious matters.' A man May
be allowed to laugh out of one side of.his month
—that is in 'time of peace, not,'of cOuiSe,
time of war—but to laugh out - of both sides at
once, to grin from ear to ear, that cannot b3rany
means be 'justified. For a man can not •laugh
out of both side ' s at once and at the same time
develote the resources of the couutry,and•it
is the special Mission of each and every AMeri
can citizen to develope the resources of the
country, and that is a serious business. , Shall
any one of 'us then, with this great mission
before him, laugh, or what is worse, fiddle, or
what is still worse, dance, or what is yet more
a bominable, idle away a whole'day in relaxation
and enjoyment ? Are there not three hundred
and sixty-five days only in a • year, except leap
year. and is not the limit of a man's life, since

But notwithstanding we admit the great mix-
'ion of the American citizen to be, generally,
to develope the resources of the 'nation, and,
particularly, to developo every one his own 're
sources, yet we' 411‘of those who think that
the life of one born .inthe'United States even
was given to him that he might live,. and that
to live is to do more than eat bread and meat
only or to make money in addition. Arid
since, by the proceeding' sentence, we have ru
ined our reputation for orthodoxy, we will be
so bold as to say, that to live, is, properly, to
appreciate and enjoy Jife. Now, in order to
do this, it is necessary to labor and gather to
gether; but this laboring and gathering is the
means, not the end. When by toil and economy
the means of happiness , and- enjoyment, which
ere' the ends, are obtained, then it is wisdom to
devote the means to the ends. 'Men generally,
by a . strange perverseness, instead of applying
their wealth to the procuring of happiness,

sacrifice their happiness to the procuring of
riches.
Too much of anything is too much, ex
cept, said an old woman, as to ale, and then too
snitch is just enough. With that exception
then the proposition stands. There is no excep
tion of work. After laboring six days it. is wise
to rest on the seventh ; with equal reason,
after fifty-one weeks of toil and care, it is wise
to rest and recreate during the fifty-second
The Christmas holidays used to be a season
of universal joy and gladness. Old and young
took their ease and sought their pleasure. But
now we are beginning even to drive the child
ren to , school, during the long-looked for
week of gifts and freedom and frolic unre
strained, and the old and middle aged must be
about fulfilling their mission, and can't take
time to be happy. Oh I ,for a good old-time
Christmas week ! Yes, even in, the midst of
war; for we have enough and too much of trouble
and care, and need to cast the load off, for, a
few days. But every , thing is againstus.. , Old
Crisskinklehas gone to some more genial and
light-hearted
,people, and it won't even snow
dwing the holidays as, it used-to. The pro-:
posed Festival promised something, but that
got the opnimma and went back and died, So
there is nothing for it, but for us to go back to
'fulfilling our mission—eat.drink make mon
ey—except attend the Nino DRAMATIC, As.:
§OCIIITION'S divertisement. It w,as a happy
thought, that. In the midst
,of our grief
for the good old times that are gone, and, the
departure of Old Crisskingle, and the Festival
that got the opoimma, and went back and died,
we lost sight of the Dramatic Association,
which a dozen of oar youtig gentlmen have
instituted, having fitted up Mr. IRWIN'S Hall
forrthat purpose. The New. Hall is commodious
and comfortable, and the stage arrangeme.nts ex-
cellent. In fact the New Chestnut Street is the
model and improved
,upon. The proceeds are
to be devoted to the relief of sick and wound
ed soldiers. So, if the community attend and
encourage, the enterprise, they will be entertain
ed and the soldiers relieved, or,in another aspect,
the community will be relieved and the soldiers
entertained. At all events, the Dramatic men
will enable the young folks to , keep up a " mer
ry heart," and we. need not loo,k yet ,a little
while for the " dry bones.",.. „. ,

Second Lieutenant in the First United States
Dragroons, July Ist, 1848. , He was born in
Kentucky, but was appointed from Illinois.
His commission as Captain in the Second. Ca•
yalry was dated November 12th, 1861. In
July, 1862, he was appointed a Brigadier-Gen.
of Volunteers. General Buford was one of
the most dashing, brave and brilliant cavalry
officers in the service. He was conspicuous
in nearly all our cavalry engagements under
Generals Stoneman and Kilpatrick. -.
He was a pioneer in that famous
,raid of
General Stoneman almost to the gates of Rich
mond, and at the battle of Gettysburg he was
the first to encounter and drive the Rebels from
the town. His appreciation as, an officer is
proved ,by the devotion of General Stoneman
to him during his illness, and in his earnest
recommendation to the Pre3ident to appoint
him a Major-General, which, The telegraph in

Devil. —Some person has been trying to perform
a silly post—that of playing " devil ;" not a spi t ,
fire and brimstone fellow, but a sort of walking
giant, intending thereby to frighten children. The
boys took it into their heads one evening last week,
to stone a fellow of this description off the streets.
We haven't heard of a repetition of the "devils"
part.
• We would caution persons not to push this thing
any farther, as some one of weak nerves might be
frightened so seriously as to be injured for life.
A Correction.—We have to correct a notice
made • last week that the ladies intended to hold a
Festival during the holidays. It was contemplated.
The 'prepariitory steps had been taken. but after a
fuller consideration of the subject, it was deemed
prudent not .to have any thing of the kind at the
time named.
The 7 SOciety, however; appointed and instructed 3

neighborhood to contribute liberally to the relief of
our suffering soldiers. This appeal will be found

Sad Affair.—Our citizens were shocked by the
announcement, on Sunday morning last, that Mr.
JOSIAH BESIAN, merchant of this Place, had com
mitted suicide by shooting himself lb-rough the
head. It was known that Mr.-11. bad beta declin

thereby been somewhat impaired,. but ,nos one, not
even his family, entertained any onspieione- as to
such an unhappy result of his illness. On Satur
day evening he was in hie Store attending le, busi
ness as usual, and on Sunday morning was with his
family up tmribout 10 o'cloA, when he left the sit
ting room and repaired to his stable where the un
fortunate deed was, committed. He was first dis
covered by Mrs. B. who followed him to the stable
supposing that he was getting his horse to take a
ride. A looking glass which he had taken from
the house was found nearby suspended to the fodder
rack. Mr..B. expited in about two, horse slier be
