N'D there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the fie'd.
* ^ keeping watch over their flock
by nigh:.
And. jo. the ar.gel of the Lord carr.e upon
them, and the giory of the Lord shone
round about there: and they were sore
afraid.
And the angel sai d unto them.
"Fear not: for. behold. I bring- you gtxxl
tidings of great joy. which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord.
"And this shaii be a sign unto you: Ye
shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger. "
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising
God. and saying.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men."—
Gospel by St. Luke.

ieatfelt assoc at'^ns Tfcere i* a to^e
of *o'<ema and sacied fee: ng that blends
w th oar conneialiry. and lifts tbe
sp nt to a state of T '.' ->wed aad ele-
vated enjoyment The terraces of the
church about thts season are extreme y
tender and icspincg; tber dwell on the
beantifal atorv of the origin of oar
la:th and tbe pastoral suites tba: a.-
cortpaaied its anaocnceaent; tber
gradraily increase :n fereo- and pathos
durng tbe season of Advent. antC they
break fortji in full jotHleem tbe morc-
ing that broaght peace and good will
to men. I do not know agrandereffect
of music on tbe moral feel.cgs than to
hear tbe fall choir aad tbe pealing or-
gan performing a Christmas anthem in
a cathedral, and fill:ng every part of
the vast pile w th triumphant harmoov
It is a beantifal arrangement, also,
derived from the davs of yore, that
tbis festival, which commemorates the
announcement of tbe religion of peace
aad lore, has been made the season for
gathering together closer again tbo««
bands of kindred hearts, which tbe
cares and pleasures and sorrow* of the
world are continually operating to cast
loose, of calling back tbe children of a
family, who have launched forth :n life
and wandered widely asunder, once
more to assemble about tbe paternal
hearth—that rallying place of the af-
fections. there to grow yonng and lov-
ing again amoog mementos of child-
hood.
There is something in tbe very sea
: son of tbe year that gives a cbara to
! the festivity of Chnstaas. At other
t rses we derive a great portion of our
pleasures from tbe are beacties of
oa-nre. Oar feelings sally forth and
d <*-pa:e themselves over the vjnav
landscape, and we live abroad and
everrwbere " The song of tbe bird,
tbe mariner of the stream, tbe breath-
ing fragrance of spring, tbe soft vo,up-
inonssess of summer, the golden pomp
of autumn, earth, with its mantie of
refreshing green, and heaven, with its
deep, de.icvou* blae and its cloudv
magnificence, ail fill us with mnte bnt
exquisite delight, aad we revel in the
luxury of mere sensation But in the
deptb of winter, when nature lies de-
spoiled of every charm and wrapped in
ner shroud of sheeted snow. we turn
for onr gratifications to maral sources.
The dreariness and desolation of oar
landscape: tbe short, gloomy days ard
darksome n'ghts. while they circum-
scribe oar wanderings, shut ia cur
feelings also from ramb ng abroad,
and make us more keenly disposed for
tbe pleassres of the social circle. Orr!
thoughts are more concentrated; onr
friendly sympathies more aroused. We
feel mure sensibly tbe charts of each
other's aocietv. al are brvngfct m >re
closely together bv dependence on each
other for enjoyment A seasoaw%ps<
heart is calling anto beart.
Tbe pitchy gloom w.tbont make* tbe
heart dialate on entenag the room
filled with tbe glow and warmth of the
evening fire The ruddy blaze c £u«<*
an artificial summer and sunsbiar
through tbe room, and light cp each
countenance with a kindlier welcome.
Where does the honest face of hospi-
tality expand into a broader and iai>re
cordial swiiit—sbereu the shy glance
of love m re sweetly eloquent - tb*c
by the winter fire*ide? And. as tbe
hollow Mast of wintry wind rushes
doof. whistles about the casemeu*. and
rumble* down tbe chisney, what can
be more grateful than that feeling < f
sober and she.tered securttr w-.th which
we look aroaad opoo the comfortable
chamber and tbe scene of d aw. c
hilarity?
