The Christian and ante-Christian teeling blend in the happy season, | and the Christian observance min- s at every point with the pagan It is net easy to say where the ous rite. paganism ends and the Christianity begins. The carrols and the was- sail, the prayers and the games, the generous hospitality, Hobby-horse and the Lord of misrule, Maid Ma- rian and Santa Claus, are a curious medley of the old andthe new. As the religious thought of all ages and countries when it reaches a certain elevation. flows into an expression which makes the scriptures ot the most devergent nations harmomous, the history ot this happy festival is evidence of the common humanity of the earlier and later races, andthe stranger in Bracebridge hall, musing by the glowing hearth’ on Christmas- eve, as he watches the romping rey- elry beneath the glistning berriest and listens to the waits carollin g out- side in the moon-light, or he § s awakened on Chistm:s morning by | the hushed patter of children’s voices at his door, may well seem to hear a more celestial strain, and to catch a_ deeper meaning in the words, **Before Abraham was, I am.,’ as Fremont and His Son. New York Letter. I attended a large wedding recep- tion this afternoon of a son of Gen- eral Fremont, an army officer, and a daughter of John G. Townsend, the counsellor, who was Tweed’s lawyer. He hves in West Thirty- fourth street, and has been very friendly to General Fremont for many years. General Fremont was present, looking remarkably well considering his years and the variety of his think his wife, Jessie Benton, was also present, but am not sure.

We hear a goodeal, and with good reason, about the laxity of divorce laws; but there is a remarkable lence concerning the loose way in which many marriages are contract- ed. If marnage laws were one half as strict the divorce laws which are most complained of there would be much less occasion to si- as complain of the latter, because they | would not be so generally resorted to as they are to separate man and} wife who ought never to have been united. New Haven on Saturday turnishes an example of matrimony which _ is not altogether exceptional, though ot an exceptional class. Michael Ank- ner and Mary Carroll were united in marriage ut the jail, the condition of the girl being such that the town of New Haven might become lia- ble to_bear the cost of supporting a child though it will probably now escape some pecumary burden judg- ing from the relations of the husband and wife to each other and to the public. Anker is in jail serving out a sentence for drunkenness. His wife is at the town house. Her tather, mother and sister have lived there as inmates for years, and_ she was born there. The whole tamily are paupers. Ankner the now mar- tied man,is a shiftless fellow and cannot support himselt. Here is an interesting family connection, poorhouse marriage that means a poorhouse lite, and all in the interest of the sanctity of the marriage rela- They are alltoo poor to ever expect to get a divorce from the present union, and’ if tke husband gets a living for himself he will proba- bly have nothing to do with his wife and may be guilty ot bigamy betore he finishes “his career, while the chances are that his wife will goto a worse place than the poorhouse 1f she quits the support of the town.
