His position among men has not been as fully understood as it should be. The fact of tae manger has obscured the right to a throne; for this babe was in a marked sense the heir to the temporal throne of David, his royal progenit The genealogies of Luke and Matthew are in accord, if we admit that the one gives us the descent by families and the other the line of heirs to the throne. Mutthan in the list by Matthew is the same person 28 Matthat in Luke’s list. To him were born two sous, JACOB, THR ELDER, who was father to Mary. and Heli the younger, who was father to Joseph ; Jesus, born of Mary, and heir of. doses thus inherited from both motuer and reputed father His kingly title and position. He was thus “born king” in au nnusual manner, and the recognition of this fact, well known to the explains why the peopie were ready “to take Him Wy force and make Him a king;’’ why Herod feared Him; why the mother of Zehedee’s children desired places for them, and also why the discipies were always looking for tempural soverolgnty and asking, “Wilt thou at this time restore the king- dom of Israel?” The world was expectant of His birth, God ruling in Providence brought about tue strange coincidences by which ali antecedent PROVHECY WAS FULFILLED. And yet the world He bad made, and now had biessed by His coming, rejected Hira in His spiritual relations and had neither power nor. will to confer temporal pig Stil ts.

OPK FAT GR ron, Mass., Dec. 26, 1872. The day at the State Prison in Charlestown was | commemorated in the usual manner, Coim- pared with other days, however, an unusual | strictness was displayed in the matier of the admission of outsiders, and only three men be- sides the HuRALD correspondent were allowed to cross the {hrestiold gf the rotunda, ne oe ela these was @ clergyman and the otherd he were reporters for the Boston press, prisoners were marshalled into the chapel, as is customary; but, as is net customary, the oMicers in charge of them exercised a great deal of vigilance over their movements, At no time | dnring the services did a turnkey's hand teave his pistol, and occasionally the ominous click of a cocked revolver warned ail present of the conse- quences ofan outbreak. Fortunately none such oc. ¢ prisoners were cailed to order ty their ter singing by a volunteer choir, Cojonel Francis J, pipet read to them seleciions from Bret Harte and other popular authors.

Contrary to the previously concelved spinions of the officers of the age Me ‘was no disturbance, and tie day passed off pleasant)y for al! concerned. FOUND DEAD ON THE TBAOK.

With regard to personal cleauliness, the Americans were superior to tho people at home. Cleanliness was the order of the day, and he had found the table linen in hoteis at ‘the Rocky Mountains more cleanly than what pe had found in most coffee rooms’ in London. The best hotels of Dublin and Glasgow would not be toleratedin any Americaa town, he had visited. He had seen vory sinall signs 01 pov- erty in Amorica; but the signa of comiort seemed universal.

After bri alluding to the distrust that prevalied in America as to the ad- ministration of the law the lecturer concluded with an eloquent allusion to his visit to the land. ing place of the Pilgrim Fathers.

Boston, Dec. 25, 1872, The proprietors of the leading gambling houses in Boston, together with about a hundred of their patrons, were brought to sudden and unexpected grief this evening. Some ten days ago Chief Con- stable Boynton, of the State force, in connection with Detective Smith, commenced their plans for a general raid, and on account of the dens being more generously patronized on holiday occasions it ‘was deomed wise.to make the descent on Christmas, Five of the: lending piaces In the city were ‘come down on?’ simultanconsly, and an aggregate of near- lya hundred men were arrested altogether. At No, Ss Huron street only twelve were captured; but at 83 Sudbury street, there were forty-llve arrests; five at No. 3 Montgomery place, sixteen at Alden street, and about twenty at 29 Howard street. About six thousand dollars worth of turniture, to- gether with a large quantity of gambilng para- phernalia was also seized, and will destroyed in obedience to the antl-gambling laws of Massachu- setts. Among the parties arrested were a number of paemne ns citizens, including, besides merchants and manufacturers, one prominent bank preal- dent of Boston and a clergyman of a neighborin city. They were all taken to the headquarters of the State Police and admitted to pail for their a pearance in Court to-morrow morning. They will probably be let off by payment of afine and costs, amounting in each case to about thirty dollars. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, Married.
