to crown all this sgony aud torture,
to have the hands und feet nailed to

undergone by this glorious, but hum?

Love and Heaven triumph, satii-, il

fulfilled, and man, today, kneels at

being.
In the early days of Rome, a tem
pie was erected to ?Janus, one of the
Koman deities. This temple ?a?
closed in times of peace, and opened
when Home was engaged in war.
During a period of 6?00 years it was
closed but twice: once, after the end?
ing of the first Punic war, and again,
in the reign of Augustus (ae-ar,
when the ?Saviour was born, who, ac?
cording to divine prophecy?if we
remember aright?was to enter the
world in a time of peace. We wiuh
that the temple of Janus was closed
today: that there was an end to ?'wars
and rumors of war," and that all
governments were moulded and tem?
pered with the spirit of him whose
words were all love, and who ????pak?
as man never spoke." But, let us
not awaken such thoughts on Christ?
mas. We know the children will be
happy today. Our earliest recollec?
tions are bordered with the unalloyed
pleasures of Christmas, and our
thoughts wander back to them now,
aud paint them the halcyon days of
oar existence; for, the heart, then,
in its beautiful innocence of child?
hood; knew nothiug of the bitter
trials awaiting the man. Let us all
be glad today. laet the hearts aud
hopes of all be as bright as love's
young dream, and let a spirit of char?
ity and **good* will toward all men"
animate every breast; and nos-, wieh?
ing each and every one a "merry
Christmas," we will close this article
with the following little poem which
we wrote? and published several years
