All, Christ, that it were possible For one short hour to see The souls \ve loved, that they might tell UH What and where they ho. CilltlSI Ml IS KVKItYIVIIKItE. Christmas is everywhere to-day, and on the land and on the ocean, in Jerusalem and Madagascar, and North and Soul h America. The boys are having it on 1 lie plains, where many a camp-fire sends upward with its smoke the smell of roasting buffalo, an incense odorous and rich, If not pious. The lookout on the mainmast, as he straddles his yard and clings to the rigging, may not lie having it at this precise moment; but there is plenty of seasonable prog, with something hot to wash it down, waiting him below. Even in the mines, which have closed for all time upon lost humanity, there is a moment’s relenting; and t though the sunshine of nature is never to come again, a few rays from the light of God’s sunshine creep in to whis per a Christmas promise of God’s mercy in the world to come. So, not alone the well-to-do, the comfort able, and the rich, whose migrations lie between the blue bed and the brown, and who foot it and feast it royally at home, be that a palace or a cottage—but the wanderers and the heroes of Christen dom, who scale tho rocky heights that guard our golden shores, or dig deep into the silver caverns of tho Sierras, who stand sentinel upon tho borders of civili zation, where savage beasts and still moro savage men constitute their only visiting acquaintance, or who, upon the lonely bridge of the swift-going steamer, pace through the long watches of the night— ‘ “Where the Northern ocean in vast whirls, Boils round the nuked, melancholy isles Of furthest Thule; and the Atlantic surge Pours in among tho snowy Hebrides.” All, all know and feel that this is Christ mas, and unconsciously ask God’s double blessing for the loved ones, whether they be safe at home or far, far away. “AND ON KAUTI1 PKAOK.” The angels who announced tho birth of Christ proclaimed in the Bamc breath peace on earth to men of good will. No man can properly cele brate the return of that day, therefore, who does not celebrate it in the spirit de clared by the angels. It is tho birthday of tlie Prince of Peace, and none can ap proach tlic place where the young child yet lies save he bring peace oilerings in his hands. Tlie day should he devoted in large part to a clearing up of old scores of ill will and had feeling in the family and in the community. Hub out and start anew. Don’t carry last year’s wrongs and resentments into next year. They have rankled long enough, and to cherish them yields but further pain. Forgive your enemies and forget your in juries. You cannot forgive tho wrong doer and cherish the wrong that lie lias done. Perhaps you are tlie wrong-doer, though this is not likely to appear so to | you. Let Christ he born anew in your hearts on this His birthday. The harder it is to make up your mind to a reconciliation tlie more necessary it is that you should effect it promptly and thoroughly. A root of bitterness that has taken such a hold in your spirit ought to be plucked up at any cost of pride and pain. This is a day of peace, and you can claim no certain or large part in it unless you make vonr peace with all men, with yourself and •with God. “non bless tis evert o v e.” " Little lamb, who made you?’’ If the world owed nothing to Jesus of Nazareth, except the Christmas of the Christian year, lie who yet died upon the cross to save it would still remain its greatest creditor. No other civilization possesses such a day. Out of all the systems and all the ages it stands unmatched in spiritual beauty, unequaled in domestic and per sonal charm, unrivaled as a good influ ence. It would seem that if there were •bj wisdom in the skepticism which in- I sists upon applying logical tests to all I things, this mysterious force, subtle, pure, and universal, carrying the sweet and | gracious teaching and tlie gentle life of the Lamb of God into thedarkest corners of tlie human heart, and setting at naught tlie obduracies alike of character and exuet mathematics, would put it upon another tack and start a new train of doubts, chiofcst of which should be some distrust of Itself, and its amazing, blind submis sion to the doctrine that nothing is that cannot lie demonstrated. Alas for the vanity of mortal reason! Who is there this day, so steeped in science or so hardened by vice, that, hearing tho church bells and seeing the faces of the children, can turn away without some touch of feeling he cannot explain, some tear of self-pity lie would fain conceal but cannot repress; and who, as lie looks this night into the sky, and beholds the same star shining there that shone over Hethluhom, and amid the silence and tho darkness, questions the soul within him, does not wish that lie could hope, if lie does not seek to be lieve. II is a cheap and mean profanation to ascribe the potency of tho one season of “peace on earth, good will to man,” which Christinas has given to our kind, to social and natural causes merely. Its history refutes such theorizing; but, even if it did not, there is that in the radiant anil all-embracing glow both of the re ligious observances and (lie merry making, which takes it out of the cate gory of holidays and lifts it high above the lovcl of the earthly-horn. It is as if, in the dead of winter, God had put His mantle about the world, to warm for a little the coldness of its heart and to hide for a little its wickedness, out of love for His son, Christ Jesus, our Lord! Of tho days of tho year it is the most picturesque. Nor tlie sweetest day of summer, for all its wealth of green and gold ; nor of autumn, with its bronzed antiquities and leafy splendor, can meet our Christmas, face to face, and not recoil before those dear, clour eyes, and ruddy cheeks and laughing lips; and no matter how homely clad, so clad at home ; any more, indeed, than a beautiful tree can hold comparison with a beautiful woman. It is tlie Christmas of the Christian ages, and of all Christian men and wo men dwelling in our minds to-day and singing in our hearts, us it has been told in story and echoed in song, time out of mind; the Christmas of Spencer and Chaucer, of Shakespeare and Milton; the Christmas of Goldsmith and Irving; tlie Christmas of Thackeray and Dickens; the Christmas that cheered the heart of Washington at Valley Forge when all was dark around and brought upon its wings tlie message that the Campbells were coming to the besieged of Lucknow; the Christinas that opened the stony heart of Scrooge; that set a cricket chirping upon the hearth of half tlie universe and gave a divine resonance to the lips of tlie crippled child, as, for getful of the crutches, they exultantly cried out to tho world, “God bless us, every one.” Esto perpetual II. W. II. II0ULLY. D W. D. Dually is making arrangements to establish a weekly newspaper at Arcadia, Man atee county, to be named the Arcadian. We are glad to learn that when tide I journalistic infant is born, it will find a ready-made name waiting for it. As a rule, Boully’s babies are born faster than lie can name them. Few men have done more for journalism than D. \V. D. Bold ly. Newspapers spring up in his tracks and blossom and bloom and bulge like poppies in a clover patch. When it comes to establishing a newspaper he can do it more times without lotting ids feet touch tlie ground than any man in tho thirty-nine stales, with Utah thrown in to make things look sociable. D. IV. D. Boully is a good man, an unselfish man, sowing where lie does not reap, and pouring warm pap down tlie goozles of other journalists without ever saying “turkey” to himself or In timating from personal motives that ii is a “long time between drinks.” Tlie coun try could ill spare 1) (and the rest of it) Boully. When lie gets a new paper so it ean stand alone, and worry through the night without a wot nurse, he goes out and gets some other editor to adopt it. It is getting too old fo r him. While he likes to own a newspaper as well as anybody and better than most people, lie won’t have one after the now wears oil - , and after tho excitement created by the appearance of the lirst issue lias died out. After four or five issues of the paper have come out, the tiling becomes monotonous and grates on his nerves. After about the sixth issue lias made its appearance D. IV. D-, (tlie other links were missent and will arrive by express) grows im patient, says chesnuts! once or twice, and soon tlie place and the paper which knew him, know him no.more forever. D. IV. D. I>. has set out weekly papers in rows like cactus plants clear across the American continent. It lias become a habit with him which ho can’t shake off. IIc has been known to disrobe for a Turk ish hath, and then forget his original in tention and try to start a weekly paper. He is an elegant man and peo ple are fond of his company. But if you ask him home to dinner with you, and excuse yourself and step out of the parlor a moment, he will have a weekly paper started under the piano before you can get back. At one hotel where he stopped he filled the back yard so full of incipient weekly newspapers, when they were not watching him, that they had to tear down a board fence in order to get them out. We couldn’t do without Boully. Others are blessed by his plants and ventures, and he still goes about doing the world good. A man in whose wake newspapers grow ought to keep going. The world can’t afford for him to stop and stagnate. The Floridians need not congratulate themselves on having captured Mr. D. W. D. B. (and so forth) as a citizen. Ho is merely sight-seeing in the land of flowers, and while he may occasionally stop long enough to kill u mosquito or start a weekly paper, his home is not there. Hu is a cosmopolitan; and the world to whom ho belongs loves him and is proud of him. UEURUIA NKCt'HITiEH. Cnrrerli'il tty Join, tllnckiieir, Coinu ■ tills, <»«. STOCK AND BOND BROKER.
