"Chrislma> comls but o nce a year, And when it comes it brings good chrer."

There is no land nn rl e r the blue ·c::tnopy or Heaven to: <'lay, in which Christmas ii cJ iebratgrl with so much joy, with so much o(that h c~. rt-totlching fervour and _. gladnes:s, as in Jre lan<l o f "the fbir -tlow ing r iver." I don ' t ca re if every other day in the yrm· 1s doucJ eJ in darkness and mi~ery, ·on Christmas Day the s u.•1 of th e Ir ish is bound to sherl his wr.rin, glowing b en m ~ upon the ]a no, disp·e rsing their clouo~ Of trOll b]es a nd or SOl'rows . or changi ng them into fres h , pu re, bracing nir to rein,v igorate and gladden tb e i r hearts.

On the pay uefore, there nre grent prrpnrn tions (•f eYery possible d escdption. The (•himneys nre c lea ned down; the "street" oryurd abo ut t h(o-. hot1se is swept c l'ean ;.everything i~ arranged in gooc! order; anc! th e wbole is made to ·rook tidy a nl1 rieat. Insich·, the ho uoe is b ei ng decked with holly and evergreens, alllong which there is interwOVIm some ivy l eaves. Th e 'holly isthegreatestfavourite,_'1nd is considered as an a lleg-nri cal sym bol 'ofChrist's miss ion on earth. There is a busy, hurried air nbout evetyone on tb i ~ evening; som e cleanir.g, scouring; · br·ightning; others plucking fowl or baking rich cakes and pu<'ldings; whi le ot he rs ,rill • to the shops to procure -the necessaries for the following day, and to receive agood, s ubstantial Chtist iJll tS box, if they have been dealing there dnl'ing tile phst yenr.

The men are busy, and so tno He t he women.

There is a beautifut and graphic cleseriptiOJ; of thb evening given by William Cnr leto r: in hi~ "Midnight l\Ias.s."

The r e :i giou~ ceremonies of C hri stmas nre obse r ved with the greatest devotion, un rl really they presP 11t.

God, in creating man, placed within him a mind endowed with many ennobling and elevating faculties, which in its combination with the material body, forms that grand masterpiece, that most exalted· specimen of workmanship. the human being. Of these many fac ulties belonging to the mind, and constituting th e complicated machinery of which it is made up, there is, perhaps, not one more important, more necessary, and more worthy of deep attention than memory.

In almost every moment of our natural existence no matter in what sphere of life we are moving, w~ are making constant use of this faculty; and it is of the utmost in1portance that we should endeavor, as far as we are able, to have it in a good, healthy, wellordered, nnd well-cultivated state. On it much will depend. Without its proper training, s upposing we are not gifted by nature with one of great powtJr, we can never, as a rule, excel, n ever rise above the crowd in our journey through life.

.'""''.J't is sai<!l that that whid1 is strmrcd en ·the mem.•:;ory iR•' ehxldhoocl is o£ longest duration, and we he_ lieve this is so. In the season o£ childhood the imq,gination is n.ntd\ mO!:e fanciful, and the child is guid.ed rather by the i rnagination than by reason or experiPnce. We can all well remember, when children, irito what state o£ mind• we 'WOuld be thro'wn when, for instance, we were left alone in a clark room. How we wonld crour·h anrl c~nver throtwh feai· ' as if the room 0 were filled· with hobgoblins and bugbears. We can all recollect how we felt on reading £o1' the first time some fairy tale, or some exciting Indian st.ory. How vivid:ly we could see Sinbad the Sailor tying himself ' te the· roc's. claw, and being cm·tiecl aloft from the ]onely island by the monstrous bird; and again, how we could imagine him being choked almost to death by the oldman of the sea who got astride his back, an•l who wonld have killed him only that 'Sinhad set him drunk How we could fancy ourselves present on the spot. whe1·c l~obiuson Crusoe left p1:ostrate in death the other ;;avag-cs, and captured his faithful Friday. vV ell, j lt>t as the imagination is very active in ehildhoud, so too . the m'emory is then very impressionable; an~ this tolhiws as an. actual consequence of the great ini•(ginativeness. o£ youth, for imagination and me'mory il~·e so allied, ancl the btter depends so m u~;h Pti tl'Le former, that when \l'e have a real vivid imagination of something we have of it. <tn undyiug mem:.>ry. Thi~ i ; wh y the memory of childhood is so tenacious; this is ,i·hy we re'11 ember so welL and so elearly , those unhappy occasions, on which the mat enal lash of correction was applied, with all that cold and dignified cerenlOllY which clmracterizes such unplea;;ant scenes; thu; it i:o that we rebin so vividly, ~tlld recollect so accuratel y, what we saw, and heard, and rt>ad Hi childhood. Therefore, we see of ]v)w great importance, am1 how nect>ssary it is, if we wish to have in the mind a b*'ting remembrance o£ anything, to riYet thereon the attentio n, and consequently the imagination, so th<~t the i11itial impression may. make its· mftrk cbep 'and perm anun t. The !.rue art of memory, s ays Dr ..Johnsvn, i:s the art o£ <Lttention. ··. What is the utili1-y of memory:- The answers to this question are so numerous, and we see so many of them rising up before our mind, "thick U.'l leavfs in Vola1nbrosa," that we hardly know where or how to begin with them. But, let us take the youth at a primary school, and see o£ what use is this faculty to him. If h~ has a good memory he can without much difficulty commit his tasks, and retain the important points, the answt>ring o£ which at an examination will place him first in his class. Years roll on, and we ee 11ina enter cqllege. Before lw can settle down ther·e

he must pass an entrance examination. A Latin or Greek author is placed in his hand; aroi:md t.he table sit half-a-dozen "big guns" deeply v~rsed in classic lore' philosophy, theology, and what not? The solemn ceremony begins; but the ve}·sion is £amiriar, he remembers how the translation runs, the rules· for this mul for that; and he rises unscathed :from the firelike ordeal, having ·passed through ·w ith flying colours, to be duly appointed to his place in the College. \•V atch this same young man during his collegiate course, and you will find him making his mark at the end o£ each year; a~1d when.. at length the final test rolls round , his memory is still standing well by him to th e last ; be is victorious, and he is joyful. Keep an eye after him as he works his· way along in the world, as he journeys through life, whether as a preacher, an ad vocate, br whatever else you like, and yon will always see his efforts crowned with success. H e will be an honour to himself, and to his friends.

Let us now return to the primary school, and take 'one o£ this young man'~ companions. tl'lere whose memory is a failure, or, at any r ate who is lacking in even a mediocre one. \Ve will sl1pgose that though h e has a bad memory, nevertheless his reas~lJing powers are good, and he can reason well. Now, in his final examination at the primary school he has £ailed and tail~d woefully, simply because his recollection has failed him, hut in conside1:ation of his sound reasoning abilities his master advises him to take his chance, and enter college; which h e does, and we can see him seated at that learned table with a book before him.

But, a.las! silence reigns supreme, and all listen with attentive ears to catch the longed for :words. As usual he has forgotten all about the subj ect at . issue, and his fine reasoning avails him naught. No, not i£ he reasoned as well as Socrates, and distinguished as well as St. Thomas; not even if he could discriminate accurately between the north and the north-west points of a hair. Let him tell the learned faculty around the table that though his memory is bad ~till his powers o£ ratiocination are good, and his judgment sou nd, and we can just imagine the sarcastic grin that immediately appears on each face. It is of no use.

They know well. that depth of. thought~ so1m~ jud~e­ ment and intelligence, can ex1st only m umty w1th a cle~r memory, that they go hand in hand, for. it is by it that the vast store-house o£ knowledge and 1deas is being constantly replenished, kept in order, and even in existence. They a;re well aware that all great men had great memories, a1:d that the opposite case is like the angel visits of the nineteenth century. Th~~ is about as far as ever tha~ young man can go, or 1£ he o-oes farther, well , we cannot envy .him his happiues~. His will be a h ard time. ~To

The child who~e reason is justdawningar:d about to take its fiight to the noon-day of intelligence, a>ks in babbling tones, ahout the time when its little heart shall be in ade happy with the bright gifts that come only <Lt this season of the :year. The youth, looks with zest tJwards it, becau::;e he shall he the recipient speci;tl favors. The old and de01'epit, whose sil verecl hairs be10-peak the journey of many years, is n o less aux.ious for the day on which his c 1p of joy was ever filled to overflowing. He seems to live again his youthful days, and feels as though the evening of life is yet far distant. The stndent, long before, fea:>ts hi:; imagination on the anticipat ~o n of being again nn ited with the dear ones at home, when , sittillg aronud the family hearth, he listens with boyish eagerness to the venerated tales, which, from tim : im:n 3morial, have entwined the Christmas

He knows it will be <L solac.e to the dec lining years OT his j:HL':'ents. who ask 110 greate r L'arthJy gift, than the presence of t.heir chil ~lren on Christmas day. He recall s the mau y favors be-stowed by friends and parents; th e fond ,associatious of' :'t.hool-clay companio :Js; the gJod old times when he '"as a truant lad, and thought ,of naught, b:tt h ow to enjoy life to his heart's content. These, indeed , were hal cyon , days ! It was then the heart knew no pain, and old time in his rapid fiight, sped on. unnotlced, by g nilel e~s youth_ Who of-tis that has gwwn to manhood, cannot recall the tiJ1tes when, he leaned upon his mothet's knee, looketl up at her f ace, and in all child-like simplicity, asked her, what would Christmas hri{lg . 11er child?

Many beautiful stories are associated with the feast of Christma,. But there is, especially, one, not indeed a story, but, a reality, the recital of which, should cause every soul to leap for joy. You have often heard it, hut each repetition, grows more interesting· It runneth thus : about nineteen hunch·ed years, back through the vista of ages, on a cheerless December night, some shepherds were keeping vigil over their flocks on a bleak hill n ear Nazareth. Night mantled the earth. All n ature wmppecl in slumbers, was unconscious of the glories of the coming dawn. A strange fear began to possess the poor night sentinals; they looked towards H eaven and saw a light more brilliant than the combined electric forces of the universe, surrounding, with a halo of glory, one of Heaven's choicest inhabitants. And who was he? Gabriel, it is said, Little wonder the shepherds were awe-stricken, for, such is lmman, nature, especially, ":hen the greatest of events had happened. The angel bade them not to fear , and he said to them,-"! announce to you great joy:"a joy 1iotfor them alone, but, for all nations · A stable in Bethlehem sheltered the new born King· Behold the fitness of Gabriel! it was he who first m1n6unced the coming of the Savior, when, that most wonderful inscription: "Et verbum caro factum est," was first stamped on the hearts of men. What were the shepherds to do, and whither were they to go, to ''"itness the realization of the glad tidings? The angel pointed towards Bethlehem, and, "as a sign," h e said• ' 'you shall find the child wrapped in swaddling clothes.''

Thither, they hast ened, and saw, and adored, the Hedeemer of the world. Their joy was unbounded, when they heard the H e<1venly Halleluiahs resound through t,h at humble abode and thence wafted to all nations· When we vi.;it .the ch.urch on Christmas morning, we behold the same Infant, and kneel to tt(lore Him; we hear the same Halleluiahs chanted, and th(~ same Venite Adoremuo sung, as did the shepherds of old .

With what joy should we not hail the clay on which we received the boon of our salvation! How we should be filled with love and gratitude towards Him who has thus honored, beings so unworthy as we! Yent:te Ado remus then, on Christmas morning, lay our humble o-ifts sentiments of sinleO's souls, at Bethlehem's ~hride, and he who is King of kings will reward us an hundred fold .
