EDITOR JOCBKAL.—Oh, fbfn poet* pen and an artist's fancy to paint the beauUeS of my Lakeside home, this glorious Christ mas morning Language fails to portray the beautiful, grand, and even subUmt panorama, which Dame Nature, with the I assistance of Jack Frost, has spread before us this lovely morning. As I stand4a. my cabin door, my gate first wanders1-north and east, where a forest of oakand maple stretches out until the stately trees seem to loom np against the sky beyond, lilting tho King of Day fronone branch to another until he bursts forth in all his splendor for above their tallest tops. To the west is a rolling prairie, with here and there a few trees, and the "mounds" seen in the dis tance look like the snow-topped peaks of some mountain range. To the south is our beautiful lrke, seen through the branches of a half circle of trees upon its shore, and its smooth surface relieved by here and there an island, filled with beautiful trees and shrubbery, loaded with pure white glittering gems darting back "Old Sol's" rays, and with every breath of "Boreas" filling the air with feathery, fantastic gems. And then, to crown all, here are the giant old oaks, standing at each corner of our log cabin, clasping their huge arms pro tectingly above Us low roof, and filled by Jack Frost with more bright, dazzling or naments than ever Christmas tree was fill ed before. Christmas morning 1 Merry Christmas 2 And yet hew many of the readers of THB JOCBKAL are far from.merry to-day I How many sad and weary hearts! How many eyes are weeping as they never wept be fore This snow, so bright, so pure, cov ers the forms of loved ones gone from us forever. When we think of it as lying up on their graves, it seems cruelly celd, and the sorrow-stricken heart ciies out in re bellion. As I wrote this last line, my eye caught the name of "Little Nettie," in THBJOUBNAL. Ah, yes, another angel was wanted in heaven, and "Little Nettie" has gone. Ob, if I could say one wotd to cheer that grief-stricken mother! If but for a moment I could bring her from the dark shadows of despair into God's glori ous sunshine! It would be a happy Christ mas indeed for me, for I too have' been through the fire. I know that a word of sympathy even from an unknown writer is precious. Although it may not dry the tear-dimmed eye, it may render tbe bewt less bitter. Weep on, poor mother. Well, I know the tears' must fall. But in after years, when life's pathway is roughest, you may thank the All-Father that "Net'ie" is at rest. j'? THB JOURNAL seems to me like a link in an invisible chain binding its readers to each other. There are the letters of the different correspondents talking to us there are the "marriages the notices of different amusements, telling of the happy there are notices of church services, telling that "God is everywhete ,r MOXONGALU CSVKTT.
