be made, and iu publishing it, We do not
wish to be understood as endorsing, or reit

the same independence which prompted the
Intelligencer to make it, would also prompt

We are again in the midst of the enliv

ehee;fully welcome its arrival, and tender
our readers the compliments of the season.
A merry time may you have of it, and ft
long life to enjoy its pleasant reminiscences.
But these “‘Christmas times” do tread aw
ful close upon each other’s heels, coir pared
to what they did in “olden time”—when
we were a boy ibi* instance—II0 - .v is this \
we are not “getting along” in age to be sure,
no, that’s not the case w.e know, for we have
not arrived at that period of human exist
enee—that is the masculine human, of
course—when it is entirely befitting and
proper that man should take unto himself

than is necessary to sustain any one indi*

Certain, though we must admit that we have
and no small number of deviations from es
tablished rule to be rectified. These re
flections must prove salutary and chasten
ing in iheir influences. If our lives and
prospects are be cast with clouds, and gloom
appears at every step of our progress—the
brighter will be the sunshine, and our aspi
rations of the future will be heightened.
We wish our patrons a happy New Year,
