CHRISTMAS.
The foremost and the greatest and
grandest of Christian holidays. Merry
Christmas, when the very air though
sharp and bleak with winter’s blasts
is yet charged with the kindly and gen
erous warmth of the season, the spirit
j °f peace and good will to men. It is a
I glorious old holiday and since the rise
! of the star of Bethlehem which guided
i the wise men to the humble cradle of
the Divine Infant it was never so uni
versally and elaborately celebrated as
now. And there is no fear that the
glorious old custom, which gives our
hearts a chance to relax in kindness
and good will to our fellow man, will
| be forgotten. It Is above all a holiday
for childhood, as it should be. for to
j childhood and innocence it is dedicated,
j although there are none who ever out
grow it. He who should outgrow the
spirit of the day would, indeed, be an
object of pity in the sight of God and
man.
:
The Christmas idea, with its associa
tions, legends and romances, framed
about with holly, is ever fresh and wel
come. It comes at the close of the
busy, struggling year like a purifying
and vivifying breath of fresh air light
1 ening the load of dull care and diffus
ing good cheer throughout the land.
How appropriate its evergreen symbol!
This time the Divine holiday comes as
a climax to the most prosperous and
fruitful year in the hietory of the great
est nat!on of the earth and its most
fortunate people. Throughout the
length and breadth of the land the
Christmas spirit is all pervading this
day—and we should see to it that no
nook or cranny escapes a portion of its
warmth and good cheer. Let us hope
it will extend to our ne'ghbors even
unto troubled Venezuela and the spirit
of good will and forebearance infuse
itself into that tangled skein. Peace on
earth, good will to men. May the
blessed message be carried to humanity
far and wide.

FELT EFFECTS OF BLOCKADE.
Dutch Steamer Couldn’t Get Into La
Guaira.
LA GUAIRA, Venezuela, DPo. 24._The
Dutch steamer Prlnz Willem II, from New ’
York December 5th, arrived off La Guaira I
this morning! but owing to difficulties with i
the blockading squadron and to the refusal of i
her agent to pay her port charges, she left i
without communiraling with the shore.
“IT CAME UPON THE MID
NIGHT CLEAR.”
It came upon the midnight clear.
That glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on earth, good-will t0 meu.
From heaven's all gracious King.”
The world iu solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they
came,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still tbelb heavenly music floats,
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowlv plains
They bend on hovering wing.
And o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
With all the woes of sin and strife,
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the augel-stratns have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong:
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
Oh. hush the noise, ye men of strife.
And hear the angels sing.
And ye. beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way.
With painful steps and slow—
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
Oh, rest beside the weary road.
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on
By prophet bard foretold.
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors -fling.
And the whole world give back the
tong
Which bow the angsts sing.
i
By John Green leaf Whittier.
[Tbe following lg another of Whittier's uncollected poem#, written when tie was nine
teen year* of age. during his first term in the HaverhttlAeademy ln one or two stanzas
are to be seen traces of that ambition for fame and the feeling that the world was treatise
him harshly, which are shown in most of his letter* and poem* of that period. At the age
all the springs of
to omit from his
pessimism and cynicism of
his youth were changed to sweet charity ai d a reasonable optimism. He gave op self
seeking and devoted his whole life to phiJf nthropie work. Tne most patient sweet-tera
pered of men once told me that he ws* born without an atom of patience in his com
position. and it was only by constant watchfulness and effort that he kept the natural
impatience of his temper under control.—Samuel T. Pickard ]
I would not lose that romance wild.
That high and gifted feeling—
The power that made me fancy’s child.
The clime of song revealing,
For all the power, for all the gold.
That slaves to pride and avarice hold.
1 know there are those who deem
But lightly of the lyre;—
j Who ne’er have felt one blissful beam
Of song-enkindled fire
! Steal o’er their spirits, as the light
Of morning o’er the face of night.
I Yet there's a mystery in song—
A halo 'round the way
Of him who seeks the muses’ throng—
An intellectual ray,
A source of pure, unfading joy—
A dream that earth can ne'er destroy.
And tho the critic’s scornful eye
Condemn his faltering lay,
I And tho with heart'css apathy
The cold w'orld turn away—
And envy strive with secret aim
i To blest and dim his rising fame;
1
Yet fresh amid the blast that brings
Such poison on Its breath.
Above the wreck of meaner things.
His Jyre's unfading wreath
Bhall Bloom when those who scorned his la;
With name and power have passed away.
Come then, my lyre, altho there be
No witchery in thy tone;
And tho the loffy harmony
Which other bards hare k'notfn.
Is not, and cannot e'er be mine.
To touch with power those chords of tbinc
Yet thou canst tell In humble strain.
The febllngs of a heart.
Which tho not proud, would still disdain
To bear a mecner part
' Than that of bending at the shrine
j Where their bright wreaths the muses twine.
i Thou ednst not give me wealth or fame;
Thou lias no power to shed
I The halo of a deathless name
Around my last cold bed;
{ To other chert’s than thine belong
i To trtstb.ir.gs of Immortal song.
Yet come, my lyre, some hearts may beat
Responsive to thy lay:
The tide of sympathy may meet
Thy n.aster's lonely way;
And kindred souls, from envy free.
May listen to its minstrelsy.
Haverhill, Eighth Month, 1S27.
From the Christmas issue of The Independent.
“A Christmas In the Philippines.”
Written For the Register.
j During the winter of 1900 we were ii
' garrison way down on the southern em
1 of Luzon, and as the insurgents ha<
I been rather quiet for some months (th'
j result of repeated defeats at our hands
I we concluded to have a Christmas cele
j Oration; so, for several days precedinj
' Christmas foraging parties were bus:
hunting chickens in th? surrounding
| country, which were paid for if tin
i owner happened to be at home; if not
; they were confiscated in the name o
' Uncle Sam. and the party moved on ir
! search of more. There were only aboin
| two hundred of us at the post, so wheT
we had collected about a hundred fint
“gallas’’ (chickens) we concluded w<
had about enough, and so thought the
“extra duty” men before they finished
their task of cleaning that hundred
chickens.
Perhaps the memory of another
Christmas in the far-off States had
softened the heart of the stern old com
mander of the post, for the cooks were
given orders to draw on the commis
sary for unlimited quantities of canned
goods, and the prospect of apple and
peach pies and various kinds of pud
dings. togf ther with canned corn and
peas and roast chicken had put each
man at peace with himeslf and all the
world for the time being. Christmas
is also one of the great “fiestas” or
feast days among the natives, and there
was to be a number of cock fights in
the morning, and in the afternoon was
the great semi-annual contest for
"navias" (sweethearts), followed by a
feast and “fandango” (dance! lasting
all night.
Christmas morning arrived at last,
and after guard mount the boys pro
< e'dr<! to amuse themselves, according
to their own inrllnations: a few wrote
long-delayed letters to the friends at
home; some sat around telling of other
Christ mas-times "before the war.” hut
the large majority prepared to engage
the native at his favorite sport of coch
tichting \s It had been pay day at the
T1 st on the 2tith. there was to Ire con
siderable betting on the results, for
these native* will wager everything
they own (anil ian borrow I on a cock
fight. Here is where the "poor hea
■ then t?) worked a shrewd game ton the
boys A number had purchased about
.» do/ n gime rot ks from the natives
and bad hitei an amigo" (friendly na
tive' to thoroughly train the birds for
this event, and as they were very fine
! >oking cocks, we thought we were due
to give the "heathens" a good “clean
ing up, bnt that Is where we reckoned
w rong. \\ hile our birds were equally
as fine looking as theirs, in every case
our bird had what we call “a yellow
streak (not full blooded game), con
sequently. while wre happened to win a
couple of battles, the wily native (who
had known this all the time), won ten,
and he got the money and we got the
experience.
1 strongly suspect our trainer knew
all about the “game,” as I noticed he
seemed to have plenty of money after
the “main." and I believe the “heathen"
bet on the other side, although he swore
by all the “Dios" in his religion that
he was not guilty. Scon after the close
of this event the bugle sounded the din
ner call, and a rush was made for the
dining hall. Where those fellows put i
all they ate that day is a mystery; ■
every man had all he wanted for once '
and he evidently wanted much. “I 'low j
this is most as good as mother used to i
I make.” said Willie Daly, as he got out
j side of a whole peach pie.
; “I reckon if I'd shet my eyes I’d think
I was back home on the farm.” said
Jim Parks, who came from down on •
the Wabash.
, “Say, ain't dis de limit? Like to t
blow in to a feed like dis every day ” I
said Jimmy Callahan, from the Bow- I
erv.
"Gentlemen, do not indulge your ap- i
petites too far. else will your slumbers <
be disturbed this night.”
This was from an odd character call- !
ed the “Professor.” And so it went '
until the last men was satisfied, and
they left the table to lazily watch the
natives preparing for the contest for '
"novias. This is a* very important af- i
fair, among the younger natives in this !
part of th^ island, and occurs twice ;
yearly, in June and December. It is
conducted in this manner;
All the young ladies who are old <
enough and desire a sweetheart, have
their names printed on a long strip of
bright colored ribbon. This is made
into a roller and at the end Is attached
a ring. This roll of ribbon is now j
strung on a wire extending across the ;
main street in the town, with the ring
hanging free from the roll. The young i
man who would be the proud possessor j
of a sweetheart, must now demonstrate
that he Is worthy of one. in the follow
ing manner: He must own a pony nr
borrow one) and attired in all the'hril
liancy of colors of an American jockey,
he rides to the end of the street, arm
ed with a small wand just small enough
t<*> enter the ring on the ribbons. At
the word of command, he charges down
n i the street at full speed, and as he
d ; passes under the wire, (just above his
d ; head) plunges the wand through the
e ! ring, the ribbon unwinds from the
) wire, and he continues down the street,
- | holding his wand at arm's length, with
g | the^bright strip of ribbon streaming
y over his shoulders, in the breeze. This
g requires a good eye and much shill and
e ; many are the failures, before the cov
eted ribbon is secured,
f i The contestants follow each other in
i : order, only one making the dash at a
t I time; whether he fails or not, he takes
1 his place in line and tries again, until
» all the ribbons are gone; it sometimes
3 happens that some of the contestants
j I get no “prize" at all, while some other
i young "senor" will Ite wearing half a
1 i dozen ribbons wound around his shoul
I ders. Having secured a ribbon the
* j young “gladiator” must seek her whose
1 name is printed thereon, and claim
- J her as his "novla” (sweetheart) until
t | the time of the next contest, and, hav
• ing entered her name on the list, the
[ j maiden must accept him who presents
I to her, the ribbon bearing her name.
The young man who has secured
more than one ‘ prize" is the “whole
thing" for a time; he is allowed to take4
■ his choice of all those whose ribbons
i l he possesses, but is not f r ed to choose
until the beginning of the “fandango,”
i some hours later, at which time he an
; nounces his choice by leading her out ;
; on the floor as his partner In the dance.
1 In the meantime he Is causing no end ;
, t of hard feelings by boasting of his j
I luck to his less fortunate companions, I
and arousing the green-eyed demon (
among the girls, who are all anxious to
be hie choice, and are not at all sure
; of his favor. One of our boys created j
some amusement at this tournament,
| by attempting the trick; he made the ;
dash to the wire In perfect style, but on
I making the lunge at the ring became |
lover-balanced and inglorlously landed
fon his head, on the street, while the]
' pony continued on his way. riderless.
Outing and after the tournament the
native hand played various airs on
! their dilapidated old Spanish instru
i mehts. chief of which were “A Hot
] Time in the Old Town,” and “Aguinal
; do’s March.”
This ended the festivities until even
ing, when the natives began their “fan
j dango” and feasting, and our boys
gathered in groups and listened to some
really fine singing and recitations from
1 some theatrical artists in our com
mand. At 9:30 p. ru., the bugle sound
ed "taps” and the soldier boy retifed
to dream of the Christmas of other days
; and Home, Sweet Home.
