srive expression to their better thonty of the President ami Sen-,
feelings. Hard indeed must be'.tteto negotiate- a treaty which
that heart that is not softened called lor the reduction ot' the tar-
aud mellowed at this joyous seas
on! Whether this be the tru ' date
of our Lord's nativity matters not.
It is the -'eiierallv accented
, . . . . . ,
ami has been for centuries, and
.
liotlnuir can ever change it. It is
eminently riylit and proper that
all Clllistelldom should alpropil-
l,. ,n,M..ni,r.if., ,m ,.i.. ,1,,
the birth of Him who came to re
deem mankind, and is the great
est event of all historv. ;
Take awav Christmas a-id what
au empty void would be left! What
would the world do without
Christmas? Around it "e clus
tered life's greatest pleasures :i! I
tenderest associations. Year after
year it is eagerly looked f n.atd
to by happv youn' hearts as the
acme of human bl.ss, and oil
hearts are mellowed and wrinkled
faces are brightened at its tender
memories. Christmas days are
the green o.ises iu the men;-!
oried of many, whose j .unity'
through life lias been, .is it were,
through b.tireti wastes and arid,
deserts. ,
The cii'l.ane of Christmas 'i.'ts 1
is one of the most appropriate'
customs that irtves pleasure to;
many. As ou this day we ci :u-,
luemoiMte the greatest of all irifts, ,
M'hou (ioil pave His only begotten
Sou, it is peeuiiarh appropriate;
that all mankind should strive j
with o-ifts to gladden each others,
hearts. IJut remembei that it is;
not the. intrinsic value of a Christ
mas ift that is most appreciated,1
but it is the kindly motive that
prompts the u'ivor. And above all
do not sordidly civ, in order t"
be iven something better.
No more joyous set ne can be
imagined than children opening
their Christinas stockings or car
olling around a Christinas tree.
Did you ever elijoy that supreme
delight? If so, you will ncwr for
get it.
Christtnas is a reat occasion
for family reunions, when the "dis
persed abroad." return to the
home nest and u separate,!
lovetl ones meet once mop. .around
the old h-tailhst uie. I'iiiltiiiood'
happy days are th. n n c.dled and
old associations pleasant ! v reviw d
Witii Cliristmas w ill ever be as
sociated dear old Santa Claiis with
his reindeer and jinIucr bells.
What other mythical character
ever gave so much pleasure? Sure
ly no pagan idol ever had m ire
devoted and deluded followers,
and this delusion is so mii-h en
joyed that it is a pity that it is
ever dispelled.
To each and all its readers Tin;
Ki: o::i extends the greetings of
the day and wishes for them, one
and all, a very merry Christmas.
Kl'Mons of w;ir just now are very
uuseasouable and inappropriate
to an occasion when is commemo
rated the birth of tics Prince of
I'eace.
Increasing: alarm is being- felt
as to war between Pussia and
Japan, which might involve sev
eral other countries. And on this
hemisphere there is a war cloud
iu Colombia, which may y.-t give
trouble to our own government.
The Colombians are picparing, it
is said, to coerce Panama just as
the United States coerced the
South when we seceded, ami if
this uttempt is made the United
btates will interfere.
