The Celebration of Christmas Day—The Sermon on the Mount, In the year of our Lord one, aud on the twenty- fifth day of December of that year, as is general- | ly beloved, Mary gave birth to the Saviour of the world, without the pains of delivery; and remain- ing, both in and after his conception, a pure vir- git, She stood in need of no assistance usual to | her sex on such occasions, and with her own hands wrapped the child in swaddling clothes. The blessed child was brought forth and laid ina manger, for want of a cradle, in the town of Bethlehem, inthe laniin Judea, situated on the declivity of a hill, in the tribe of Juda, about six or seven miles to the southwest of the city ofJerusalem. At his very birth, the Saviour of the world was exposed to the inclemency of the severest season of the year, tothe hard boards of @ manger, and to a privation of the most or- dinary conveniences and necessaries of life. After the usual ‘ime, the sacrament of the o'd law, and the first leval observances required by the Almighty of the Jews, was complied w'th in the ose of the infant; he was circumcised, and his name was called Jesus, The Soriptures inform us that, after the birth | of Jesus, the event was announced to the Jews by anangel, and to the Gentiles by the appear- ance of a star in the heavens, placed for the pur- pose in the lower regions of the atmosphere ; and the Megi, from the confines of Arabia, flocked to his birth-place. After the Magi had departed ‘and the forty days of purification were accom- plished, Jesus was carried to Jerusalem, to be eonsecrated to the Lord, according to,the Jewish law. After these rites had been complied with, an the child and his mother and fly into | Egypt and be there until I shall tell thee; for it will | cone. to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy | The command was obeyed, Jesus was carried to Egypt, and remained in the town of Her- 4 polis til after the death of Herod— ‘And the child (Jesus) grew, and was strengthened, full of wisdom, and the grace of God was in him, and | his parents, according to the injunction of the law; went every year to Jerusalem at the solemn day of the Pass- over. ‘And when he was twelve years old and they go- ing up to Je took with them; and when the days Were end perents searched for him but could not fad ought him among their kindred and acquain- and not finding hi Y expected, they return- ed inte Jerusalem, seeking ‘him. And after three days it came to pass that they found him in the Temple, ia the t of the doctors, hearing them and asking them ques- tions, and all that him were astonished at his wis- dom and his answers, and seeing him they wondered.” In answer to his parent’s interrogatories, as to hiawhereabouts, Jesus uttered the first words that | | are recorded of him by the Evangelists. He said:— “Hew is it that you sought me? ‘that [ must be about my father’s busin No further explanation was asked. The next event in the life of Jesus that we read | of, was his baptism by John in the river Jordan. He was then driven iato the desert by the spirit, where he remnined forty days and forty nights, undergoing the temptations of the devil. | We heave no doubt that our readers are well acquainted with the incidents in the life of Jesus, till the election of the twelve Apostles, and till | the time he delivered the sermon on the Mount. | Although this article has already exceeded the ji- mits we laid out for it when we commenced, we @annot omit to insert the eclebrated sermon :— ‘THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither cana corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bring- eth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire; wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.

And it came to pass when Jesu had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: for he — them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. We have here givena sketch of the history of our Saviour,from his birth to the time he delivered the sermon on the Mount. Alter that the inci- dents were so numerous, that it is impossible we could insertthem here. Indeed, we do not think it necessary, for we presume they are all jamiliar to our readers. We shall content ourselves with referring to the betrayal of our Saviour—the sui- cide of the traitor—and his crucifixion and death. Before the seizure of Jesus, he suffered the Most intense agony in the garden. Upon his en- tering the garden, he said to his disciple: “Sit you here till I go and pray yonder; pray like" Wise, yourselves, lest you enter into temptation.” His disciples, however, did not pray, but slum- befed. Tae fourth time he waked them up, say- Inge “It is enough, the hour is come, behold the Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners; and while h mre behold Judas, one of the 12, an approached.” servants of the High Priest, Judas then betrayed him; and .

He wasthen taken before Pilate te ratify the sen- tence that had been passed upon him; but, after arraying the accusers, Pilate said, ‘1 find no cause in this man.” The priests and scribes ob- serving Pilate to be favorably disposed towards Jesus clamored the more for his conviction; but Pilate remitted him to Herod, of Galilee, as he was of jurisdiction; but Herod sent him back clothed in a white garment to Pilate, who remain- ed mercifully disposed towards him. He, how- ever, was constrained to acquiesce in the demands of the people that he should be crucified, ard he gave him up to them. © And they took Jesus, and aft they took off the purple from him meuts on him, and bearing his own cross he ‘o that place which it cailed Calvary; there they cruci- fied him and with him two others, robbers, one on the right and the one on the left, and Jesus in the midst.” ‘Thus we see the misery and torture with which our blessed Saviour was inflicted from his birth to his death, and the sacrifice that was made for us by our Heavenly Father. ‘This day Christians of all denominations cele- brate the glorious advent of his birth. y had mocked him nd put his own gar- Onaistmas Reapine.—After our readers have perused our leadiag article to-day, we reeommend them totake the Herald and con over the adver- tisements it contains, particularly those relative to the holidays.

Among the vessels that stood out that fearfu; storm was the U. S. brig Perry. All that could be done by her officers and crew was done, in a manner suited to the emergency which existed. The tremendous pressure of the wind upon the brig left no other course for them to pursue but that of putting her before the wind, where she was kept during the prevalence of the gale. Annexed is a diagram of the course of this vessel: — THE COURSE OF THE HURRICANE OF THE 10TH AND 11TH oF ocTOBER, IN WHIOK THE U. 8. BRIG PERRY WAS DRIVEN ASHORE. 83 MEY WEST say H 0am 9.

In thatcase she and all on board would have met with the melancholy fate of the Hornet and Grampus. The rotary character of the storm is very strik- ingly illustrated by the course of the vessel, and is given as an illustration of the theory of the curvilinear motion of the winds. The act of ecudding, as we are informed, was one of thelast necessity, the brig being hove down, not by the suddenness with which the gale struck her, but by the pressure of the wind, which kept her lee- cape sinking, but in putting her before the féar- ful blast. Her helm being put upy she answered it, and her two bow and after waist guns, togeth- er with her anchors, being thrown overboard, re- lieved her, and she ultimately escaped. It will be recollected that Com. Sloat, from the Pacific, was on board the Perry,at the time, and he speaks in the highest terms of praise of the skill of Commander Blake and his officers.
