May the Holy Christ-Child bless us, ° Father, Mother, Children—all; And upon our realm of loving, __‘_l:et‘ no gt{gfldering shadows fall.. « = The Origin of Christmas. 4 Christmas, literally Christ mass, derives its name from the custom in the Roman Catholic Church of celebrating three masses on that day, in honor of the'Savior’s nativity. It is generally supposed, by Christians throughout the world, to be the anniversary of the birth of Christ; but while there may be some doubts of its being the true anniversary, there are undoubted evidences of its having been observed as such by Christians for centuries. : ‘ Certain traces of it are found first in the reign of the Emperor Commodus, A. D. 180-192, and the Emperor Diocletian, between the years 284 and 305 A. D., celebrated a Christmas by closing the doors of the churches in Nicomedia, on a multitude of Christians who were assembled there in honor of the day, and burpin g churches ‘and inmates to ashes. In England the Christmas festivities were, for, hundreds of years, the great event of the year, and were everywhere celebrated with feasting and song, games, sports and drinking of wassail—commencing with the 24th of December and lasting twelve days. Presents were made, friends and families werg reunited, old differences .were healed up, and injuries fbrgiven. The houses were decorated with evergreen—with Bay and Holly—in token of the everlasting life promised to Christ’s followers. ; / _This day.possesses for the hearts of those professing the Christian religion some of the most tender and touching associations. In ‘imagination the heart is carried back through the eenturies to that night when, over the plains of Judea, rang the chorus of the Angelic Host: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men,” and to the throng of wandering shepherds, bathed in a glimpse of heavenly glory, listening with enraptured hearts, to the glad proclamation of the birth of the Redeemer of mankind. , ' ' Then, let the day be observed with joy, festivity and gladness. Make each Christmas, in your families, a bright and blooming oasis in the frigid -desert of winter. Teach your children to make it a day for the reconciliation of differences—for the thinking of true and tender thoughts—for the doing of good deeds. Teach them the story of the first glad Christmas, 1877, years ago, and thus each Christmas may become to them a light-house on the shores of the Sea of Time, that in after years, when buffeted and sore beset by the tempests and storms of life, will guide them into a haven of eternal rest. ] A Merry Christmas to all. - : Faets That We Know. 3 If you are suffering with a severe cough, cold, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, loss of voice, tickling in the throat, or any affection of the throat or lungs, we know that Dr. King’s New Discovery will give you immediate relief.

Commonwéalth. ; 5 “We have never been acquainted with practitioners who make a specialty of throat and lung diseases and kindred - complaints, who have been as uniformly successful as Drs. Price & Brewer. In every case that has come before them, they have had the.honesty to advise the patient to give up if there was no help, and where the Doctors believe that a proper course of treatment would save life or prolong it, they have taken: hold of the case with perseverence and skill, and we venture to say that not one case in a hundred fails of benefit when treated by Drs. Price:& Brewer. Were we troubled with chronic difficulties, we should not hesitate to place ourselves in the hands of Drs. Price & Brewer in preference to any specialists we know.” Bl o It will be seen that Drs. Price & Brewer make their next visit at Ligonier, Ligonier House, on Saturday, January sth. Toe complete tritmph of the Re- - publicans in France through peaceable methods must result in greatly strengthening the Republican cause in that country.

The result-goes far to disprove the common saying that the French are not fit for self-government, and shows that they are learning to recognize the superiority of peaceable and constitutional methods over revolutions.—lnd.
