tRIDAT MORNING I>EC. '2\ 1868.
CHRISTMAS.
This paper is issued on the morning of the
■day sot apart hv generally i»ore\/ol tradition,
ns the anniversary of that memorable night
when the ctherial visitants from the celestial
world surprised the shepherds on the plains of
TTethlehem with the song which announced the
l»irth of the Redeemer- The mystery of sal
• •wntion was revealed and attested by such man
ifestations of the power and approbation of
r God as silenced the cavils of the wise mei» of
. this world. From the misty shadown of crea
tion's early dawn, down through the patriarchal
and prophetic ages of antiquity, the songs and
' prophecies of inspired seers had foretold that
, wonderful event. The biee-lmg lamb on Abel's
, altar was accepted of God only as expressive
4 of (akh in the Lamb of God, whose blood on
. Calvary poared forth, should take away the
i sat of the world. Well may the day of his
nativity be observed then with marked atten
tion by the race on whose behalf he eame.—
, Not simply os a time of festivity and selfish
: enjoyment is it proper that this great day
should be observed, but with such obedience
' to the laws of Christ as shall testify a living
active faith in his divine autliorily. Os all
'" seasons in the year, now is the most appropri
ate for the exhibition of those works of chris-
\ s tian kindness and charity which manifest the
excellence of the Christian religion so clearly
1"V»8 to command the admiration even of infidels.
•''Kotin the tented field, where the groans of
, the dying are drowned in the rattle of mus
{ ketry and the roar of artillery, nor yet in the
'* classic walks of science, where the power of
intellectual effort subdues the laws of nature
.-•-to tbs serrice of the human will, does the glory
* of Christianity appear. Neither in the tnirac
* ulous manifestations of almighty power are its
j beauties and glories seen ; but in the exercise
' of that charity which works no ill, which feels
'.tad ministers to the wants of the destitute,
-■ which feeds the hungry and clothes the naked,
is the true worship of Him who being rich,
became poor that his enemies might be made
* rich. To follow His example in dealing justly,
~ in doing good, and in the showing mercy, is to
■s’ worship Him in spirit and in truth. When
this principle slinll be recognized in our con
, t duel, then shall be ushered in that Millennium
>for which so many are anxiously praying.—
Indeed, the key to that long desired paradise
is,simply comprehended in the great coromand
*4 ment, on which hang all the law and the
'J prophets; it is love to God and love to man.
, Let this motive actuate the human family, and
• discoid will bo banished from the earth, and
• paradise will bloom again
l Since that most memorable night when the
- King of life assumed mortality, more than
** eighteen centuries have rolled into the fathom
less eternity of the past, bearing with them
r- tko hopes nnd fears, the joys and sorrows of
countless millions of mortals who spent the
brief moments allotted to each of them os
busily, as selfishly, and as haughtily as we who
now live and await the summons which will
T apon call us to join the silent nations who have
preceded us. Then we too shall be forgotten
vt* as they are. How humiliating to human pride
' the reflection! Not only individuals are
swept into oblivion by the sweeping pinions of
■- Time, but nations and races of men must
share the common sepulchre of forgetfulness,
as is painfully proven by the lost nations of
America whose ruined cities alone are left to
y. : ahow they once existed. Well has it been said
„V that life is too short for hatred!
Let us ferget the asperities and animosities
of. the past, and in the spirit of a benevolence
as broad as our race, let us greet our readers
with the cheerful salutation of the season,
wishing to each and all A Merry Christmas.
The Georgia Senators. —The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times snvs:
No action has yet been taken on the admission
of the Georgia Senators by the Senate Judicia
ry Committee. Leading Senators, however,
appear to be in favor of allowing them to take
"j their seats, and it is mote than probable that
* that course will be adopted. The question of
*' the reconstruction of Georgia, and the suffrage
question in all the States of the Lnion North,
M well as South, will be settled by consditu
tional amendment.
1 Murder Made Easy.- The court in New
» Albany, Indiana, has refused to entertain the
: charge of murder in tho first degree against
* Mrs. Morton, who shot one Moore dead in his
tracks. She alleges that she killed Moore,
because he had written letters to her contain
,. iag insulting propositions. She does not pro
‘ dace the letters, however. If she did, we do
not see what defense they would form for
murder. According to this ruling of an Indi
ana court, all a woman who wishes to take the
‘ life of a roan has to do, is to decoy him into a
private room, and after shooting him dead, say
he insulted her. “Murder made easy” is the
doctrine all over the United States at present.

Nine years 1 How packed and crammed with
large events 1 Let the eye sweep backward
over it and see what progress we have made,
and with what stately steps the march of hu
manity has gone on.—[Hartford Post.
Well it is rather evident that something,
“has gone on!” and is still going onl “Nine
years ago,” we had no National debt, no fed
- eral taxes to pay, no town, or county debts, no
war, no bloodshed. Since then, we have earn
ed them all 1 The Post might be set down as
facetious, if the evidences of its delusion were
not apparent. It reminds us of the improvi
' dent husband, who in answer to the reproaches
of bis poor wife, at his thoughtlessness, replied,
“Well, I declare now, if you ar’nt finding fault
with your condition! why, when I married you,
you hadn’t a rag to your back, and now you’re
covered with ’em!”— [New Haven Register,
A City Destroyed.
The Express lately publishes a telegraphic
hint of the destruction of the city of Alamos,
State of Sonora, Mexico, by wind and water.
The mail brings a few details:
October 15th it commenced to rain, and after
seventy-two hours, at ten o’clock at night, the
sluices and 1 dams on the mountain broke loose,
a furious wind arose, the waters came dashing
like fiends from the mountain sides and
brought us face to fits*with the most terrible
dangers. This eircuiiisfmwo mtule us forgot
all tilings except that whiwh is more precioas
than all things— life, and especially the lives
of our littlo ones. Three minntes after the
Tull tide of the flood, and every tliing was
swept away us by a tornado. We sought re
fugc in the mwon'ains, from where ve con Id
, hoar the crashing in of our houses. Every
thing we had is lost. There must he consider
able loss of life, but as yet I am not able to
ascertain the truth.
Houses were unroofed and blown to shat
ters, tiles and like material were scattered
through the air like chuff, and strong trees
were uprooted as if they had been cornstalks.
The best part of the city is totally destroyed.
About tbe only buildings saved worthy of
mention are the Mint, the Church and tho old
State College. These stood on high grounds,
and this advantage, with their solidity, saved
them. l>r. llill, an American resident, had
three houses carried away, and is a loser to
the amount of abowt *lO,Ol JO. Mr. T. Robin
son Bours, an American doing a banking bosi->
ness here, had his banking house swept away.
Others have suffered severely. The loss of
life has been quite large. Sixty dead
bodies have been picked up. Some of them
were mangled fearfully, and could scarely bo
recognized.
The mined city of Alamos was the Athens
of North western Mexico, or, a! least had that
reputation. Its women were reputed to be
the loveliest and most, intelligent throughout
the republic, and its citizen* were highly spo
ken of a* contrasted with those of other pop
ulations. There was a great deal of wealth,
refinement and luxury among the better clas
ses, ;Tt was a sort of sanctified Jerusa
lem, whero the proud Spanish blood and
brnin held ascendency and would not be
poisoned with contact with Indian and negro
mixtures.
Alamos, ns a city, had fame befoie the groat
metropolis of New York was known. It is
old among the many old towns of Mexico.—
Surrounding it hare been some of the richest
mines in the world, and from which the city
had its chief support. At the titno of its de
struction* it contained a population of about
7,000 souls, though geographical dictionaries
place the number at 10,000, which is at least
3,000 to many. Unhappily for its people, the
number is lessened through a terrible misfor
tune, and the ‘City of Poplar Groves,’ has fal
len to the dust (even ns man falls) in its
strength.
What’s the use of minding what “thoy say f I
What’s the use of lying awake o’ nights with
the unkind remark of some kind friend running
through your brain like forked lightning?—
What’s the use of getting into a worry and
fret over gossip that has been set afloat to
your disadvantage, by some meddlesome busy
body, who has more time than character.- —
These things cannot possibly injure you, unless,
indeed, you take notice of them, and in com
batting them, give them character and stand
ing. If what is said about you is true, set
yourself right at once ; if it is false let it go
for what it will fetch, until it dies of inherent
weakness.
Tho’Tribune s-iys : We are confidentially
advised from Washington that the Supreme
court is pretty certain to adjudge the legal
tender act unconstitutional. We are told that
there will probably be but one dissenter from
the Court’s judgment. We give this precisely
as it reaches us, as a report merely.
In reply to a young writer who wishes to
know “which magazine will give me the high
est position quickest,” the Petersburg Express
advises a “powder magazine, if you contribute
a fiery article.”
Signs of Quilt. —In a recent case of assault
the defendant plead guilty. “I think I must
be guilty,” said he, “because the plaintiff and
me were the only ones in the room ; and the
first thing I knew I was standing up and he
was doubled over the stove. You'd better call
it guilty.”
Remedies for Poisons.
Cases of poisoning often,'loccur in which life
might be saved. and hours of agony averted, if
we only knew what to do in season. If a poi
son burns the throat and acts violently upon
the stomach, swallow half a pint of sweet oil,
melted butter or lard, and within five minutes,
take half a pint of warm water, in which has
been 6tirred a teaspoonful of ground mustard
and salt. The oil arrests the action of the
poison, and the mustard and salt causes vomit
ing. If the poison swallowed does not burn
the throat and act with instant violence, but
causes sickness, stupor or faintness, swallow
the whites of three eggs; also a quantity of
the strongest coffee it is possible to make, and
in a few minutes take the warm water, mustard
and salt as before mentioned. An eminent
physician says that with prompt use of oil,
and white of eggs and strong coffee, and the
emetic as abovo directed, the fatal result of any
poison likely to fall in the way of man or child,
may be always averted. These remedies are
in themselves, harmless, and might all be ta
ken into the stomach at once, in at>y quantity
without damage to the system; and they are
things that we always have at hand. But
while using these things don’t fail to send for
a physician. And above all, and first of all,
don’t have any poison around.
In Alexandria, Va. t a few days ago, the wife
of Robert Morris left him to visit some friends,
and stayed too long to suit her husband who
bundled up all her clothes and sold them at
auction.
Manners.
Evely household should cultivate good man
ners. They are imlispcnsibld' to the young.
A churlish, rude deportment betqtenks a low,
unfeeling mind ; no position, wealth or educa
tion, can make amends for it. Good manners
arc attractive nnd winning—they should he
carefully observed in every family circle.—
Parents should never 'indulge themselves •"
careless manners or coarse language, much less
to their children or domestics. The feelings
of those in inferior station should be regarded
as well as those of the highest. The smile,
the pleasant tone, nnd the courteous llifw,
quite ns highly appreciated at home us abroad!
If we wish a free nnd easy emit of ii):n ners
we must cultivate them at homo, by-being
courteous and polite to those who surround us,
and we-will not only add to the happiness of
those we Bive, but be at ease in society. —
Tench yoor children that good breeding in
cludes civility to aß—that a well brCd'child i*
immediately singled out hv an observing eye,
regardless of dressor family position**;, A frank
nnd modest deportment wins confidence and
friends, and by kind and delicate rftfeiiVibh to

helpless, we add lustre and greatness ty, pur

All really gient and hooest n»eii’n»ay WB said
to lead three lives; there is one life whWh is
seen and accepted by the World at large ; a
man's outward life; these is a rtenfid-life
which is seen by ft man's mfts.t intiinrite frii'mls,
his household life; there is at.hird life,seen by
the man himself and by Him who seafune.tbihe
heart; which may be called the inner or heav
enly life. Most biograghers are and 4 must be
satisfied with giving the two former aspects of
their hero’s life— the version of tfio brOrld and
that of his friends. 'Bdtfi are important, both
contain some truth. But there is a third life,
a life led in communion with God, a life.of as
piration rather than fulfillment. ]
A negro in Natchez, Mississippi, brfmght his
go,.ds at the store of a Radical, and purchased
among other things, ten pounds of-sugar, be
cause it was sold one cent per pound'Tess than
at other stores. He afterwards boasted of how
cheap lie had bought the sugar to anbfhcr mer
chant, who asked him to bring him tne ten
pounds of sugar, which being done, it was
found to weigh scant eight pounds, whereupon
the crowd commenced to laugh at the negro
for allowing himself to bo cheated: 'The old
fellow studied for a moment and Then snid,

while he was getting de sugar I stole two pairs
of dese shoes,” and Ire bin light them tortlj,

The Now York Democrat quotes, from the
New York letter of the poet Moore (1800.)
describing the .slight shock of .earthquake,
with which it seems New- York was favored in
that year. The editor reasons from this in
connection with the recent upheaval in South
America, that it is by no means so certain
that Manhattan Island, one of these days, will
not be swallowed up or swept from existence,
by a big tidal wave coming through the;
Narrows.
A Indy who had refused an awkward but

retrenchment and reform. Its record is a bud

which meets on the 4th of March, may perhaps

“She Works lor a Living.”
We don’t know who wrote the following
lines, nor how oiten they have been published,
but they contain so many good points that they
are worthy to be started anew on the sea
of literature once or twice a year:
Commend us to the girl of whom itissneer
ingly said, “she works for a living; in liei
wfare always sure to find the elements of a
true woman —a real lady. Tiuc, we are not
prepared to see a mincing step, a haughty lip,
a fashionable dress, or hear a string of splendid
nonsense about the balls, and youag men, the
now novels nnd the next par'y —no, no, but we
are prepared to hear the sound words of good
sense, language becoming woman, a neat dres*,
mild brow, and to witness movements that
would not disgrace an angel.
You who are looking for companions and
wives, turn from the fashionable, lazy, and
baugl-ty girls, nnd select one from those who
work for a living arid never-»our word for it—
Will you repent your choice. You want a sub
stantial friend and not a doll ; a help mate,and
-and not a help-eat; a consoler and not simpleton.
You may not be able to carry a piano into your
house, but you Can buy a sewing machine or a
set of knitting needles. If you cannot buy a
tU-ket for the ball, you can visit some afflicted
neighbor.
Be careful, then,when you look for compan- ;
ions, and whom you choose. We know many j
a foolish man who instoa 1 of choosing an in
dustrious and prudent woman lor » wife took
oiie' fn m"the- fashionable stock, and is now la
menting his folly in dust and ashes. He ran
into the fire with his eyes open and who is to
blame but himself?
The time was when ladies went visiting and
carried their work with them. This is why
we had such excellent mothers. How singular
would a gov woman look in a fashionable cir
cle darning her father’s stocking, or carding
wool to spin! Would not her companions
laugh at her ? And yet such a woman would
boa prize to somebody. Blessed are the de
spised girls “ who work for a living.”
Relief. —Data, of the Baltimore Sun, says a
close canvass of the sentiments of members of
Congress di-closes a disposition to remove the
disabilities of citizens in all the Southern States
and there is scatccly a doubt that at this ses
sion a bill will pass in both houses placing the
several States upon an equal footing as to the
elective franchise.
Washington, Dec. 23.—The Revenue Col
lector, at Brownsville, Texas, telegraphs the
Treasury Department that two revenue inspec
tors were murdered and one injured in tha l
District, by a band of robbers.
Memphis, Dec, 23.—Generals B.ihcoek and
