The OrlKln of I'diInIiuiin mm a Holiday? Tlie Manner or J(? t'clebrnilau In Dif ferent t'otiulrJcu. The 25:h of December is the day on which the sun ie near the moat southern point in it* apparent annual journey, and for ao long aa we hare hiatorical record, it has been celebrated by ceremonies and rejoicings. The Hindoos on this day decorate their homes with garlands of flowers and pa pers of gold and tinsel, and the custom of making presents to relatives and friends is universally observed. The Egyptians recognized it by their festival in honor of the birth of their god Horus. In China it is a general holiday, the shops are shut and the courts closed. No journey would under any circumstances be commenced on this day. The Persians kept it as the birthday of Mithras the Mediator, a spirit of the sun,1 with ceremonies of uncommon splendor. I The old Romans held hitch festival in honor of Bacchus rejoicing with him that the sun was about to return and revivify the vineyards. Thoy designated the day the birthday of the invincible sun. There is no record that the birthday of Jesus the Christ, was observed till the second century. At the suggestion of Pope Telesphorus some of the Eastern churches recognized the Cth of January as the day, while those of the West added it to other celebrations in the l&ai week of December. In the fourth century Pope Julius made an order assembling the chief theologians of the time, for the purpose of examining all evidence bearing upon tho date of the birth of Jesus, that they should, if possi ble, tlx the day, in order thafc-ita observ auce might be universal. After due do* liberation tbev decided that it was on De cember the 25th. This decision was, at the time, believed by many of the fathers in the church to be erroneous, and they wentao far as to assert that the examiners had been biased in their decision by the deairo to please the public, to whom this day had already become to be a noted one. Popular feeling, however, sustained the council in their decision, which was Anally universally accepted and commemorated, 1 although it is now genorally believed to be wrong. On the publication of the de cision the Unman Church decreed and in stituted special prayers to priests, to be said on that day, which are known as Christ masses. But we find another derivation for the name. Tho old Saxons had a word HxMia, by which they designated all days freed from labor, whether holidays or fast days. The holidays kept in remembrance of the birth of Christ were Chriti mxm. The spread of the Christian religion car ried with it the observance of Christmas as a religious festival with which became counected other observances varying with the customs and habits of different nations. With the Germans, Christmas is es teemed the "Children's Festival," and with them originated the world-famous myth of "Saint. Nicholas," alias "Santa CJauH," alias "Kris Kringle," tho patron of \ ule-tide and the friend ct all proper boys and prettily behaved girls. Happily the reforms in the observance of the uay, which began in Germany, reached and were copied in other portions of Europe. Christmas is aleo now "Children's Day" in England and France. In toys aud confections for the period the chil dren are distinctly remembered in Italy, and in America tho Christmas Tree, tho "stockings hung by tbe chimney wifh care," and the harmless merry games and innocent glee of childhood supplant much of the boisterous carousal which once tended to render the day rol licking and riotous. It was formerly the custom, and is still the practice in some of the small villages in North Germany, to commission the personage of "Knecht Rupert," corresponding with our 'Santa Claus,' to distribute all tbe presents made by parents and friends to children. Die guhed by a mask, wearing an enormous flaxen beard, clad in a long white robe, and shod in tall buckskins, "ICnecht Rupert" went from house to house, was received by the parents with great cermony, called for the cnildren, and after the strictest inves tigation into their deserving, dispensed gifts anordingly. "Santa Clans," we all know roports himself differently. Hkrk is a good "jug" of information for the man who grows pork to tell the com mercial relation between mess pork and live hogs: $S mess pork is equivalent to $2 50 gross for hogs. SO mess pork is equivalent to $2 So gross lor hogs. $10 mess pork is equivalent to $3 20 gross for hogs. $11 mess pork is equivalent to $3 60 gross for hogs. $12 mess pork is equivalent to $4 00 gross for hogs. $13 mess pork is equivalent to $4 35 gross for hogs. $14 mess pork is equivalent to $4 70 gross for hogs. $15 mess pork is equivalent to $510 gross for hogs.

On Chriatmas it ia customary for all the members of a family to collect and unite in merry making, feasting and otherwise enjoying themselves. With what mingled emotions of joy and aorrow are the8e hap py reuniona looked back upon in after years by participants thinking of those dear ones now, perhaps, separated from them forever. Let us make a Christmas picture: The aleigbride to tbe house, the welcome at the door, the.bounteous feaat with accom panying jokes and humor, tbe stories, games and other pastimes that follow, the unveiling of the children's Christmas tree in tbe evening, and finally the farewell for the night Tbeu there is the jolly mystery of famous old "Kris Kringle," who comes in bis sleigh drawu by reindeer, over the tope of houses, pops down the chimneys, never spoiling with soot the pretty things he brings, to stuff full the row of stock inga that hang from the mantel. Let us imagine for an iustant the little, ropy, laughing, happy faces that peep into these stockings in the morning, and shout glee fully as each treasure is brought to light Christinas has many happy memories to Bet against the sad ones that tell of loss of time and friends. The Data uriiiiisl's ltlrtli. As yonr columns are open to Biblical and historical investigation, I wish to offer a few facts relative to tbe date of the birth of Christ The sixty-nine prophetic weeks of Daniel were to run to the first advent of Christ, or to his birtb, m tbe angel then said: "To-day is born unto you ? ? ? a Saviour, which is Christ" There is reaaon to believe that these weeks commenced on the ten'h day of the fifth Jewish mouth B. C. 488, which would end them on the 14th day of August, B. C. 5. Paul says: ''When the fullnees of the time has come (that is, the sixty-nine weeks) God sent forth His Son, made of a woman," etc. Gal. IV. 4. The true Christmas, or birth of -Christ, was. therefore, August 14, B. C, 5, instead of December 25, ?s tbe Papists affirm. The sheep were still out at pasture at tho time (Luke ii 8,) and they wore always taken to their shelter in that country about tbe time of the fall equinox, so the clnim for 'December 25 is both without proof and contrary to facta. Furthermore, Christ was about thirty years old at his baptism (Luke in. 23,} which was in the fifteenth year of Tiberius' full reign, A. D. 27 (Luke in. 1,) from which, measuring back thirty years, we reach B. C. 5 for his birth, re membering that iu crossing the Christian era B. C. 1 and A. D. 1 are only two parts of one year instead of being two whole vears. This allows bim to be born before Herod died, which occurred B. C. 4, and makes him thirty in A. D. 30. Also his death wan on the 6th of April, A. D. 30, on Thursday, the fourth Passover afrer his baptism. The above facta are confirmed by acripture, history and oatronomy, though only glanced at hero. If any of the the readers of your paper think me.mis taken about the time of Christmas, an er ror brought into the church (with others of a similar nature) by Catholic tradition, thus making void tbe word of God, please call and we will examine tbe subject to the satisfaction of all who love truth better than tradition and error on this and other things. A lady of Marianna, Fla., writes: "I applied to a physician here for a prescrip tion for Sick Headache, with which I have been afflicted many years. He recom mended Tutt's Pills. Tbey acted like a charm. I can. now attend to my school without any pain or inconvenience. It is the best medicine I have ever taken. May you meet with the reward vou deserve." Anna Jenkins.
