Though surrounded by the sunny faces of living friends, and saluted by the joyous ringing laugh of childhood and youth we always miss something or somebody. Your hearts say, "all are not here." Some pleasant voice, that once fell like divine muslic on your car, is heard no longer. Some face whose smile encouraged and gladden ed1 you in time past, is not seen now in the crowd. You think of those whom you loved in boyhood or with whom you. took coun sel in later years ; you call them, but they answer not; yon mention their names, and the white gravestone rises mournfully, bear ing those mgnes engraved upon it; and Borne of them are almost obliterated even from the marble. , And so it is that you are sad. You sit at tub festive board amid the joyous living," and find yourselves in voluntarily taking a census of the dead, of the loved and lost. You extend and grasp the hand of friendship, but the next moment you are communicating with the shades of dear ones, parted from you long ago. Perhaps it is well thus to mingle thoughts of the past with joys of the present," and regreta for the dead with greetings for theliving. It is well," perhaps, to temper the exuberence of present 'delight with the undertone of these serious memories. At any rate, it is not unmeet, in this 'season of friendly re-un ions and greetings, to remember all we'ever did love, as well as those we Ioyc now.r But there 'are duties as well as ..memories .befit ting the holiday season. Among these we may say it is good, while reviving and ce menting standing- friendships, to take some pains to create new ones. POSTLINGS, GoldllUi ' 'r .; Pave the streets. ; J 6 Reduce car fares.
