Since we enjoyed these festive holi days one year ago, possibly all of os have had some un pleasant experiences. Some have met with financial . re verses, some with disappoint ments in contemplated ar rangements, some in love matters and perhaps others mourn the departure of loved ones. God, who knows how to temper the wintry blasts to the shorn lambs, * can all oar sorrows heal." Theda reflections lead to another, which is, how will it be with ns from now until the next Christmas? Could we remove the veil which hides from our view the ex periences we ere to have dur another year, we - might fail to eqjoy real blessings. Per haps it h well that our future is unknown to ns and that we go through life over hop ing that "all is well." On this glad anniversary of that glorious epoch when the herald angol sang, a sav iour born, and proclaimed "peace on earth and good will to men," let ns resolve to live better lives than here tofore, that when we sing ‘joy to the world the Lord is come," our hearts may re spond, "Crown him Lord of all," HURRAH fOtt SCHLEY! Lest week we said hurrah for Bekley we eay so again, for not withstanding be line b«ea censured by s partisan court, hie hand* are clean sad bis oooecieoee dean; sad be will live in the hearts of bis eountrynssu aa a pure man, a heave man. and a great naval nansiii r.

Maxwell, of Rwklig> ka, Talk* Polities In HU Hretiuu We clip the following from the Near* end Observer, of the 22nd, instant. We bad heard that Mr. Morrison would be a candidate for congress, and again, that ha would not,—that be would and would not, and had been watching the column* of the Anglo-Saxon for "light,”—but in vain—not a word has it said. However, wa get it from Kaleigh first. “Oua candi data to the county” is a moderate estimate. Won’t there be two? , It looks that way in aome counties “The people of out section have not been taking much interest this year in next year's politics,” said Mr. A. J. Maxwell, of Rocking ham, who was in the city yeatwr day. Yea, a Congressional candidate from each county seems to be the rale in the new Seventh district and Richmond will not depart from it. Mr. Morriaun will be a candidate for the honor when the &ght opens op. It promises to be I a very good natured contest, as about all the candidates are per sonal friends of each other. In addition to his conspicuous party service. Mr. Morrison hoe the advantage of being a strong advo oate and antagonist on ths stomp. Our congressional candidates ought to make a canvas next eum 1 mor that will re-awak«u interest in national politics in the State and to ths application of Demo cratic principles to *he great na tional questions of the hour. We will have no State ticket, except judges, and of course these will not go upou the stump, and for | the past six years our people have barely thought of nstioual poli tics. Wo have been more inter ested in the color of the magis trates fur Goose Neck township than in the gorsrumsntal opinions of the Chief Magistrate of the na tion or of our Congressmen. Ths matters are now settled, and while they, were being settled the Re publicans were trying to convince the people that a Republican ad ministration of the uational gov ernment was as necessary to good times os a Republican lawyer is to get a moonshiner nut of a scrapo. Mr. Morrison would make a valu able addition to our delegation of bright young men in congress.” Clbson’a Mills. J. M. Larin and aou returned laat week from a eleit to hie moth er near Lanrinbufg.

It baa pow er to soften aud to melt, it will tyrannise over the aoul. aud will force it to bow down and worship. It will wring adoration from it, and compel the heart to yield ile treasures t f love. Music will in spire both the old and the wicked. The human voice ia the most per fect musical instrument ever made; and well it might he, for it had the most skillful maker. The voice should lie cultivated to sing the tones of love to man and Ood. How sweet does it make tho wor ship of God to have the reverent •-motions poured out in song! How pearly should children be taught to sing; for what is sweeter than tlie Kings of innocent chil dren? Mnsic makes tin* heart courageous and the soul cheerful ly devout. The first ucoount of music waa at the laying of the foundation of tho earth, when tbs “morning stars, delighted with the premise of a new planet, sang together, and all the sons of Oud shouted for joy.” Every song smithes and uplifts. It is possi ble that at times a soug is ns good ae a prayer. Music is healthful. There is no better core for a bad humor nud no medicine more pleasant to take. One of ilie greatest attractions for oid and young, when visiting our cities, is the music that may lie heard. Ths hymn sung by u mother to her little boy may in after days. U*a voioe that will recall him from ruin. Many a mother sings her little ones to sleep. No fami ly can afford to do without music, it makes home attractive and will keep out augry feeling*.
