What bright, beautiful, yet sad reminlseneeB cluster Z around ; the names, the associations, the hopes. the aspirations of untold millions of the days forming the caption oi mi article. Tho first historic intimation of the celebration of Chri-dmas and the commemoration of the Nativity as n day, are In the second century, after fhe Emtieror Commodus. The de cretal epistles of Rome carry it a few years higher and :tell us that Teles phorus, who lived In the reign of An- tonlus Pius, ordered divine service to be celebrated in the churches on the pva nf thfi Nutivltv. Yet before the time of Constantino we have a sad and melancholy proof ofthe celebra tion of Christmas. During the per uecution under Diocletian, the chris tians who met at midnight In their liumblo houses of worship to com memorate the advent of the Son of God, by orders to his cohorts, shut the doora of the churches, aud wor shipers and edifices were, consumed In devouring flames. How, through long and weary -centuries of trial and persecution, the christian church lias kept sacred ami inviolate-the commemorations of the Nativity. How, around tho world on yesterday rolled In glorious sym phonies the songs of million-, over the advent and birth tof Christ, the Re deemer. What myriads of glad, christian hearts gave it "praise and glory forevermore." Rut, in our roll-call we have men tioned two days. The 'first the per fection and beautitude of an immor tality and life to come and the.Iatter the hopes, the aspirations of the life here. Now Years, as Bulwer ha6 said, "What Fad, longing eyes watch for that hour when the dark gates of Timo open to receives' the gho.-t of the dead year, and the young and radiant stranger rushes forth from the cloud ed chasm of Eternity." Oh! how the world around, men nnd women, watch and hope, fear and pray on that night. What hopes dis appointed, what fortunes dissipated, what lives wasted in tho turmoil of earth. What immortal souls jeopar dized by tho wrong and the "fraud Uiatsweeps forever and foreveraround this blood-stained planet of ours, uone but Use good God may ever know. Know we well how, in the homes of wealth, in the cozy houses of com petency, cottages of woll-to-do labor ers, Christmas and New Years are celebrated. Dear, kind old?Dutch brains inau gurated Santa Claus, and untold niil- llous of light, merry, laughing eyes, do him jocund .remembrance on ev ery Christmas and New Years morn. Rut oh ! how the pen grows tired and tho thought grows weary as memory mid rcminisences oltfiter around the morn of those days. On tho one hand, joy and gladness, ringing shouts and laughter, pleasures, bright and beautiful, young eyes, 'embraced by dear, darling arms, Jnnd kisses that taste of heaven, are given, and ex changed In tho homes of comfort. But amid the habitations of the poor, in dark, pestitential houses, amidct tho crime, tho woe, the want, and tho sorrow of this weary world, who known what praise is given, or what terrible diaopasns ring up from bro ken and riven hearts. That kind old man, Charles Lamb, has aald that on Christmas amV.New Years "tho chil dren of the poor never prattle," but from weary, sad, longing eyes, that lookout upon tho impossible world of Christmas and New Years, it is on uutold, a weary, a sad, and an un known world to them. Yet the joys and sorrows, tho ringing laughter, the jocund shouts, and the shrieks of agony and dispair, as the poet hath it: "All. roll upward, far to meet tho tnrllht, Swopn with tho sounding chrlblmns ehiinea. In all theChristian temples of earth on the eves of the days indicated will bo Christmas and New Years trees, hung with tho profusion of gifts; bright with the beauty hood of divine women and bringing gladness and joy to thousands and tens of thous ands of young, and warm, and loving hearts. But oh ! where In all this splendor and beauty, are the gifts for the poor, the sorrowful, the outcast, and the lost? Who, by gift, in this Godly, chrisUau throng, that gathers in temples of christian worship, will give Boniethiug to ease the terrible heartache of poverty, want and dis palr, in days like these wo write about; when laughter, wine and song, when prayer and praise accord, who amid you roaches out tho baud of help with true christian charity to eave the dying, the fallen, and the lost touls of an erring, a sorrowful, and a condemned world. In conclusion, indulgent readers, permit us to wish you, one and all, a merry Christmas and Happy New Year. To give onr readers an Idea of how well posted English newspapers are in regard to American affairs, we copy the following paragraphs : "The Senate of the United States, elected directly by the people, is an illustrious example of success, for probably there is not such a delibera tive assembly in the world." 'The Presidential election is over, and General Grant lias been re-elected for another four j-ears. At the end of that period he must resign ofti.ee, because the sagacious framers of the American Constitution judiciously introduced a clause therein interdict ing any one from filling the post of President more thau two teems Jn succession."

It i.-. really diverting to.hear certain Dei&eeratie-Liberal newspapers inland the prevalence of the Epizoot, th Stale urging tbe-coming Legisla- turc to forget pHt ditrereaces to ig- upre strict party, 14nes and pfctee Bern , eiicaia to position especially in edu catJonal matters. The Omaha Herald wants the coming vaciuicies In the Board of University Itegettts- to- be filled by Democrat, in order "iosavc the institution." At the same time this paper is dally denouncing nnd de claring our State University uncalled for and of no use. This sounds like the old rebels "fighting to preserveJfecture abounded in happy hits, puns the corir-titution." We have no pa tience with such balderdash. While we are pleaed to know, and admit that there are many Democrats ful'y Imbued with the true educational spirit, and wo'i fill the positions re foTed to honorably, creditably and ef ficiently, we do not propose to forget the facts that universal education is one of the principal foundation stones upon which the toputdican supwr ntructure was erected. That on the ouset this very principle was conibat ted by the Democracy openly and above board, and is to this day by the fosils of that party. The Republican party being the author of this feature in our system of government we con sider it fully competent to manage and carry it out. And as our party is to be held responsible for the admin istration of affairs during its term of possession, we insist that it will be doing only its duty bj putting "none but Republicans on guard." The ed ucational affairs of our State, under Republican administration, have been placed far in advance of an' other State in the Union at our ago, and we believe we have an abundance of men in our own party who can and will continue to push forward this impor tant interest. .1IILLRR, OP THK OMAHA HERALD, A KNOWING MAN. Dr. Miller, of the Omaha Herald, is n knowing fellow. When the impeach ment of Governor Butler was being talked.up, Miller asserted repeatedly that if he could go before the court, Ac would a tale unfold that would con vict Butler "in a minute." When the case actually came up, the Doctor, in company with his Siamese twin, Morton, "dodged" ofF to Salt Lake to consult Rrigham. On his return, he was nabbed up and broughtinto court. His testimony was not even equal to the nigtrers three cent piece, which "jist beat notling." Then if he could get Sam Brown on the witness stand, he would convict Furnas "so quick it would make your head swim." In due time Mr. Brown was put on the stand, but the conviction didn't "pan out" "worth a cent." Again, if he could get Gen. Cunningham before a Grand Jury he would "fetch him." Sure enough, this opportunity has been presented, and lo! the jury is in the "white-wash" business, and our "son of a prophet" is again "up a stump." Still further: "in just five minutes 13T the watch" he could prove that McCann had stolen fourteen thousand dollars of the University funds! Another investigation, aud the prestigitator's little joke is'nt there ! Next ! "Will auy other gen tleman hate n pickle!" STATE CXIYEKSITY.

This Is the emphatic pledge df the veteran Conductor and Founder of Moore's Jiural New-Yorker in his Prospectus for 1S73, and, judging from his practice in redeeming promises, during a score of years past, the pub lic may expect its fulfillment. The Rural has long ranked as the leading weekly in its sphere. An exchange truly says : " Moore's Rural has now been before the public for over a score of years, and, as an Agricultural Jour nal, stands at the head of all publish ed in America, and in many of its de partments excels all competitors. To the farmer, especially, it is a most in valuable companion and counsellor, furnishing interesting, instructive aud reliable information on all mat ters relating to the Farm and Gardeu, Stock Raising, the Dairy and the Household. As a famil' paper, too, it is worthy of high commendation. Its moral tone is excellent; its sum mary of foreign and domestic news sufficient to give an idea of what is transpiring in the world, its reports of the markets reliable, and depart ments of knowledge necessary to make a live paperare properly attend ed to. It Is also beautifully illustrated with original desigus gotten up espec ially for It." Tho improvements promised .for 1S73; and the fact that every one pay ing only $2.50 for tho paper a year, will receive, as a Premium, a post paid copy of a Superb Steel-Plate En graving worth $5, oughtjo double the circulation of the Rural Hciu-Yorker within three months.

Notwithstanding the extreme cold, Mcpherson's Hall was well filled on last Friday night to listen to the promised feast there to be doled out by Vii-sch of the St. Joe Gazette, and nephew of H. H. Visscher, Esq., one of the leading and worthiest citizens of Omaha. And well were the crowd repaid. The lecture was a discussion of the kinship of Humor and Pathos, in which the lecturer took the ground that the mall who laughs is the man who cries. The first portion of the and laughter provoking witticisms, interspersed with music on the har monica and songs, while the ialter was pathetic, touching the sympathy and amusing the better angels of hu man nature. The peroration, which was a-tribute ta the memory of Geo. D. Prentice, (whose amanuensi Vlsseh was for several years; was re ally grand, so exciting our admiration that we solicited a copy thereof fyom the gifted author, and herewith pre sent it: "As an editor, Mr. Prentice wrote, in simple but unmistakable language, sentences that impressed the appre ciative scholar with admiration for their beauty, the politician and dis cussiouist with the power of his log lo, his opponent with awe and the multitude with enthusiasm. He grasped his subject with a hand of iron, and sent its thunderbolts abroad In tones deep and full of energy and pathos, while the lightnings of his wit and sarcasm gleamed through it frightfully, or playfully, or pleasantly. His eloquence was as grand and lofty as the mountains and as sweeping as the torrent that dashes tlydr gorges. His humor was as rich and sparkling as the best champagne, and his satire as keen and cutting as the best Da mascus blade. As a poet he was sub lime, for when in that muse's mood his mli d seem lifted e'en beyond the highest flight of " The proud bird. The candor of tho Amirs, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or hrave The fury of the northern hurrlenne, or bathe Ills plumage In the thunder's home." At the timo of his birth a furious storm was raging throughout the country ; his life was one almost con tinued storm, and when the golden bowl was broken and the silver chord unstrung and the spirit of the great man took its flight to the God who gave it, the skies wept rain drops for his memory, the bleak winter's winds rushed wildly and sadly by, lending their mournful music to his requiem ; La Belle Riviere the beautiful Ohio on whoso lovely banks ho dwelt, swelled up in awful agony, and while the country mourned her heaven gifted son, the world's constellation of literary stars hid their twinkling lights behind a cloud of sorrow as this companion gem flew from its orbit into the interminable space of eter nity." Droiriivllle High School Exhibition. It is the purpose, and we believe it Is the destiny of Nebraska to build up a comparatively perfect system of ed ucation. Already nearly every pre cinct, town and city in our young State Is odorned with good, comfort able and commodious school houses. And these, tho symbols of our rapid ly advancing civilization, shows bright beneath our western sky. And well, for the quick-coming genera tions of the future, is it, that we, as a people, place so high an estimate on intellectual culture, for our earthly wants are but the tarnished and fa ding semblance of mortality, while the mind is the peerless gem of the ages, Mid like the diamoud, its only earthly representative will continue to grow in beauty and luster as untold centuries fleet by. But we have often thought that too light an estimate has been placed on the province of the toiling, tired teacher. How true, and noble, and earnest his work is, and bis glory should be greater (and well we know it is purer) than those who have foun ded empires, reared splendid cities, uud swept triumphant and conquer ing over fields of wide wasting and devastating war. How thoughts like the above crowd fresh upon the brain as we come fresh from the holiday examination of the Brownville High School, where the students had been allowed to elimi nate their own themes, and every thought and word In each thesis showed the personal liability, tact, re search and effort of the pupil. And from all the papers we have read, sat isfied are we that each of the scholars worked out his or her own thoughts and opinions. In our school, each student is required to make an analy sis of sentences in other words, to take sentences to pieces aud recon struct them, the entire class acting as critics. As wo entered the school room a song wa being sung, after which Chas. Shellenberger read an admira ble esfcay on the "Earth," in which the author took the position that Sci ence and Revelation harmonized, or would where each are perfectly un derstood. The production was cer tainly an able one. giving evidence of research and originalitj-. Then came a recitation, "Over the River," by Ada Hayes, well and prettily delivered. Cora Gates then read an essay on "Rivers," nicely rendered and well received by the auditors. . Ada Morgan, O. Alderman, Ada Hayes and Maggie Libbie then read "Warren's Address to his Soldiers," which they did in concert, and good style. Then, under Prof. Dye, an echo song was rendered, which elicited the admiration of all present. Ada Morgan then read "Hallowed Grouud," with good eflect. But the most pleasing to us, of the entire course of the exhibition, was the essay of Florence Smith, ou "The Unity of the Human Race." This essay gave evidence of originality and acute preceptive powers, which would have reflected credit upon a matron or eire. If Miss Smith but cultivates her reasoning faculties and eomposi tion, she will adorn tho oirclo in which she radiates through life. But our columns are growing full, and we re-5'Actantly abandon, for the ; time btle:, the subject upon which we u9aldtIo.vQ to dwell, but will recur to ii v?hen opportunity ofl'ers. Leatey-from Win. Bagley. Some inquisitive individual, with more of that quality couimouly demonstrated cheek than good sound sense, to say nothing of impudence, questions the authenticity of Yhe let ter of William Bagley, appearing in the Democrat (if a late issue, relative to the late political issues. I reply, the communication wa3 written by Wm. Bagley, and the signature gen uine, i further say, that while I may have entertaiued Ihe most coi dial and neighborly feeling for Gov. Fur nas, Major Daily, or Prof. Martin, yet I have never been understood as agreeing with them on political is sues, or as sustaining them in their po litical course. Farther, that while I ruay not hate maintained those inti mate personal relations with Col. j Majors that I have with some gen tlemen, yet I have long felt that the personal services which he has ren dered the Democratic party in this county deserves some recognition, public as well as private, at x bauds of the members of that party, and I take this opportunity to indorse his course in the particular named in the letter, and we again say, "honor to whtxm honor is due." In saj'ing that the names of our leaders were synonyms of victory, I referred to the leading names on our State ticket ; and as. to voting for Gen. Grant, while I did this,-! did it not because he, of all men, was my choice, but that he was a less objec tionable man to the true Democrat than the nominee of the Cinciuuatti Convention. I beg leave to say to "Querest," that t hold myself responsible for all that appears over my signature, and shall at no time avail myself of any ficti tious uauie to serene my follies or mistakes. Wm. Bagley. LAFAYETTE ITEMS. Weatheragenerally fine fojthis season of the year. ,,- The general health is good. There being but little or no sickness throughout the precinct. The Epizootic is "doing well" here, many of the farmers having no teams to use, all their horses being afflicted. Most of .the farmers arc busily engaged in gathering their corn, and but very few have finished. Better "look a little out" boys or you'll have cold fingers before you get through. We understand that Prof. Hub bard, formerly of Williams county, Ohio, has organized several voeal music classes in this and other locali ties, which are progressing finely. Tho Professor is a man of energy and ability, and means business. We notice that Mr. Warren Cum mins has been building a neat and comfortable looking residence, and, albo, that Mr. Felix Setz has just fin ished a fine dwelling house. Mr. Setz and Mr. Cummins came here in an early day, and know what it is to experience the hardships of the home steader's life, consequently they will kmw how to appreciate the comfort of their new abodes. Mr. William Cummins has been putting up a large storehouse and gronery, over which the Masonic Fra ternity is erecting a fine hall. The building is nearly completed, arid we have heard it whispered that it is to be dedicated by an oyster supper. Dish 'em up, bcetbucen, you couldn't hit us in the neck with anything more palatable. W understand that the "Mason ic Goat," having had good care, has thus far escaped the "Epizoot," and is in fine trim, mane and tali shearad in the latest style and ready for any victim who wishes to to take his in itiatory ride. Ii-iiixois Settlement. a i bi A Dig Tlilug for Xebruslta. Nebraska bids fair to have develop ed, within her border.-, in a short time, mineral resources equal, if not superior, to any of her Eastern sister States. In addition to our favorable prospects for cheap fuel to he" devel oped by our Lincoln Coal Company, we have a company formed in the city, for the development of a new in dustry in Seward county, who have secured valuable leases. The new discovery consists of a strata of lime so free from carbon ami other foreign substances that it is ued for plaster ing without burning, by simply slack ing with water and mixing with the ordinary quantity of sand, and a stra ta of Silicate of Magne-da, pronounc ed by good judges to be equal, if not superior, to the famous New Jersey Silicate which is shipped to the Mid dle and Western Stales, aud used for glass manufacture, and glazing for the various kinds of pottery. We were shown, this morning, specimens of the lime and silciate, which are novelties, and from appearance area.l that is claimed for them. Prof. Aughey is at present engnged in a careful analysis of the-e ami oth er earths found in the vicinty. Ail joining the quarries a company have purchased land and surveyed ?i town, which they have named Pittsburgh. The sales of lots ate heavy nnd in creasing. The Methodist church has made application for lots to build a church, building on, and promise to erect a church early in the spring. A lumberyard, butcher's shop, two dry goods' stores, a hotel, and many resi dences will be erected within the coming month if the weather contin ues favorable. We wish thi- enter prise success, and believe that Seward county will be greatly benefited by it. State Journal.

CHRISTMAS. How tim hurries us on through "the days of ourapp.ointed time, until our change come." This thought springs from the haunts of memory, as I seat myself for the third orfourth time, to write a "Christmas Greeting for the Advertiser." Again anoth er thought appears and carries me through a series of eventful years, to New York, where I have many times seated myself to wrfte a word on Christmas for the journals of the east. Oh ! how memories come rushing thick and fast pleasant aud painful! Verily, verily, truth is stranger than fiction. No day set opart to commemorate some important eveut, let it be politi cal or religious, h.is contributed more to the enjoyment of the masses of the people, than Christmas day. What a source of pleasure it has been to the children ! now could they get along without it? It is a beautiful tradi tion, told in man' nations to the little ones, that the Christ-child comes with gifts to all good children on Christ mas night. Of course all childreu are good then, and receive a gift. The observance of the day is not exclusively christian ; yet none the less should it bo kept for all that. It need not detract frou the enjoyment of the day, that long before the angels sang to the shepherds on the plains of Judea of "peace on earth, good will to men" because the Christ was born, that the twenty-fifth of Decem ber was celebrated with song aud reli gious rites by many ancient nations. It was in honor of the sun. In their temples were painting and statues of a Virgin holding in her arms a child, which they deified and placed in the heavens. Idolatrous! someone ex claims. Let us be careful how we judgfe", lest we fall into the same con demnation. Would it be impossible to find christian temples in which is less idolatry than in heathen temples? There is something beautiful and ex ceedingly interesting in the mytholo gy connected with the religion of the ancients. How natural for the soul, when it reaches up after something purer, brighter, better than itself, that it should seize upon the sun in its brightness and glory, the moon in its chaste beauty, the stars in their silent grandeur, as visible objects through which its aspirations after something great and holy to adore and worship can be gratified. All religions not excepting the christian religion ure connected with mythology, as tronomy and astrologj'. All have their forms and ceremonies all have their "mysteries of godliness." And it proves this : that man is n religious being, ever looking around for some higher intelligence to 'imitate and worship. The idea a man has of God is an expression of the development of his spiritual nature. All kinds of religions are a necessity of the condition which create them. Would we change tbe religion, we must change the condition. All reli gions serve well i,the time, and place, and people. All sacred books have their uses, and abound in wise sayings, and represent beautiful and holy characters. Then, while other peo ple aud nations have their sacred Ijooks, portraying their, lofty and di vine eharacter, and worship as they have been taught the Gods of their fathers, let us cling to our sacred book, the Bible, with its holy inspirations, and which has demonstrated immor tality as well as taught it in a'sublime faith, in that it teaches that Jesus, its lovely and lofty and divine character, and "the saints in the grave, arose and appeared unto many." And while we adore and worship, let us not forget to imitate the spotless life of Him whose nativity we cele brate on Christmas day. Iflike-him we have a universal" benevolence which embraces every one, encourag ing tho saint and entreating the sin ner, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, liftinjr up the fallen, seeking and saving the castaways for He came "to seek and to save that whioh is lost" then will we be His disciples indeed. And when the weary war fare of earth-life is over, we will have a right to the tree of Life, and enter through the gates, into the City. And now, readers mine, as I have said in other Christmas greeting-,, you who like me and you who dislike me you who I please and j-ou who Id s please all alike, I wish you a merry ChiiUmas. j-XETTB Harding.
