We rejoice, too, in our younger brethren who have grown up around us; for all of them we wish a full measure of prosperity. lT)ost of all, we rejoice in the loyalty of our old associates; some who were with us on our first Christmas Day, are with us now; locks that were then raven or gold are now as the silver of the frozen waterfalls, yet the hearts beneath beat on warmly, even as the rivulet still flows beneath its crystal mantle. Jjet Winter winds blow shrill 13 let Winter rains beat down upon this roof of slate S within all is light, happiness and good cheer. The candles are lighted, the yule-log burns bright upon our hearth; the golden platter is laden with purpled fruitage, the steaming wassail flows free. Come and make merry. Christmas DiNNtP.
