That man must be a misanthrope indeed in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused, in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened by the recurrence of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christ mas is not to them what it used to be; that each succeeding Christmas has found some 'cherished hope or happy prospect of the year before dimmed or passed away; tnat tne present omy serves to remind them of reduced cir cumstances and straitened incomes of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow friends and of the cold looks that meet them now in adversity and misfortune. , Never heed such dismal reminiscences. There are few men who have lived lohg enough in the world who 'cannot call up such thoughts ony day in the year. Then do not select the merriest of the 365 for your doleful recollections.
