TO-DAY’S PROGRAMM General Review of the Pleasures and Duties of the Occasion. —_—— ‘Of all our national holidays the one that is ushered Tp with the dawn of this happy winter morning is, perhaps, endeared to every American by the most pleasant and deiightiul associations, With the Fourth of July and Washington's wuirthday, it com- Pletes tho list of our distinctively American holl- @ays, But how diiferent™ 16 1s both 1n origin and eharacter irom the othertwo!

At least uwo- thirds of our people—all who have passed their third lustre of Iile—have an un- Conquerabie objection to firecrackers and Donfires, and very frequently throw a damper upon the excitement of the more youthfal members of the household at the vreakfast table by gloomy Predictions of the possible mischief and loss and Fuin that may make this Fourth, like so many other, past Fourths, and notably that one which was com- memorated by the burning up of the entire city of Portiand, sadly memorable. The day is too noisy, too obstreperously gay to have any deep hold upon ourhearts, though we should jurtly count it infamous ‘treason to propuse its abolition. ‘then, again, Wash- ingion’s Birthday 1s two late an instituuon to be en. shrined in the affections of the people, Only a few years ago it was still @ work day, aud the only hon- ora paidyt were an occasional salvo of guns and a generous and general exhibition of bunting.
