Bethlehem, Ephratab, the fruitful Bethlehem, how it steals upon our sight like a minified gcth beneath its tropic sky, whose tinted clouds seem to skirt it like the edg* ing of a caskct. What historic glories beam around it. First, we see good Jacob traveling on towards it and Rachcl giving birth to Benjamin when there was but a little way to come to it. Then it rises before us with its fields of barley aBd its gronp of swarthy reapers, and Ruth amid them in all the fascinations of her unassumed innocence. Then David and his sheep are peeping o'er its hills, and the harp of the minstrel is eloquent with boyish inspiration, and then far down the afterages another Rachel-like mother travails in birth within its borders with the august offspring of the Infinite, and humanity seems to stand around the manger liko the reaper in the fields of Boat, to glean a har* vest of hope from the gift of a Redeemer, and a higher harp than the one which David wielded, proclaims in mid air on that clear wintry starlight eve of Christmas the deliverance of a world from sin and death. Then Micah, the Morasthite, as his spirit mingles in the wondrous scene, realizes the grandeur of his own prophetio decla.ulion, and puts a crown upon the head of littlo Bethlehem, Ephratah, henceforth and forever destined to be the focal point at which must concentrate the homage, and adoration of the universe. Yes, Bethlehem, Ephratah, since that hour which consecrated thy dust, thy light has been like unto a stone, most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Thy little oity licth now four-square like the New Jerusalem, for here all the attributes of Deity were mathematically adjusted and harmonized on the perfect square, and around the manger of Christ Jesus mercy and truth met together in concord, and righteousness and peace kissed each other in candor and affection. It was the musio of the spheres, to borrow the Platonic phrase, among the attributes of Jehovah. It was the concordant step of opposite perfections, in the majestic harmony of a glorious plan of grace. Justice and benignity stood like yoke fellows at the manger and declared to all comers, how God could be just and yet justify the believer, how holiness could be maintained them were his owl ed.

The Manger is but the stepping stone ro earth from an exalted prior scat, the golden point to sustain the descending footsteps of the godhead, as he made his Avatar in a visible embodiment for man. As Rachel's pillar at Kphrata told the spectator that from this spot she stepped forth to Immortality so the Stable at Ephrata was the jasper column to locate tne spot where the holy child Jesus stepped out from Immortality to time; and on that jasper column Jehovah has inscribed the name of the New Jerusalem and that other name which no mav knoweth save him that there received it la the plenitude of its fathomless significance* Kmtnanucl God with us.

READY-PAY, This thing called newspaper patronage is a curious thing. It is composed of as many colors as the rainbow,and is as changeable as a chamcleon. One man subscribes for a newspaper and pays for it in advance; he goes home and reads it with the proud satisfaction that it is his own. He hands in an advertisement, asks the price, and pays for it. This is newspaper patronage. Another man says please to put my name on your list of subscribers; and he goes off without as mueh as having said pay once. Time passes, your patience is exhausted, and you dun him. He flies in a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not. Another man has been a subscriber a long time. He becomes tired of you and wants a change. Thinks he wants a city paper. Tells the postmaster to discontinue, and one of his papers is returned marked " refused."

WEST PITTSTON STORE Mohammed, the great impostor, was bom i70 A. LD., at Mecca, of the noble family if' Koresh, Having lost his father in infancy, his uncle, Abu Taleb, as his guarlian, employed him to go with bis caravans roin Mccca to Damascus, in which employnent lie continued until his twonty-eighth rear, when he married L'adiga, a rich widiw. Having remarked the variety of reigious sects in his travels, he formed the lesitrn of obtaining the supreme power of he state by uniting these different sects in i common faith. To further these designs i reputation for superior sanctity was inlispcnsible, and he retired to a cave near klecca ostensibly for meditatiou, but really, rith the assistance of a Persian jin and wo christians, to give shape to his new ireed, and to perfect his plans for gaining egal power. Mohammed did not invent he ceremonies of his religion, neither did le originate its doctrines. Like a wise iropbet he selected the greater part of his loctrines and ritual from superstitions then Drevailing among the Arabs. Instead of ittempting to establish a religion which Droposed to engulf all the prevailing tenets, te moulded and shaped the numberless Dopu!ar superstitions of the Arabs into one ystcmatic whole. Considered as a reformir of idol worship Mohammed brought orler out of chaos; considered as a law-giver ind the founder of an empire, his career vas more successful than any of the rolowned conquerors of antiquity. Other nen have founded empires which were ent in twain before the founders were fairy oold in death; .other men have spent heir lives in establishing superstitions, but 10 other imptoter ever controlled so many if the human race. The elements of his ronderful success were found in the man. ind the occasion. It has been remarked .hat no one founds an empire without the Dpportunity, and certainly Mohammed did Dot want either the opportunity or the ibility to seize the opportunity. At the ime Mohammed began to propigate his loctrines, the world was distracted by vioent religious controversies. Added to this he ambition of the clergy was so grasping, heir licentiousness so glaring and their iuperstitions so gross, that the difference jetween a religion much degenerated and iegraded by contact wth idolatry, and a eligion extracted from mythology, but en•iehed and ennobled by some of grandest ruths of Revelation, was far from being ipparent to the unlettered multitude. Molammed first brought over to the new faitb lis own household, consisting of a wife, lervant and cousin; next, five of the prin'•pal men of Mecca, which with a few •thers were all his converts during three rears. He then boldly proclaimed hit irophetio mission, first to his immediate ■elatives and then to the people at large Dut with varying success. Mohammed was not exempt from the lerseeutions and trials ineidont to the man vho attempts an innovation upon the esablished order of things, but despite thC )erseoutions of his enemies he persisted in leclaring his divine commission. In the arly part of his career he exhorted hii 'ollowers to bear patiently the insults and salumnies to which they were exposed, bul villi the increase of his power came the livine permission to use it in self-defence Says a revelation of that date, " If God lid not repel the violence of some men bj ithers, verily, monasteries, and churches md synagogues, and the temples of the Moslems wherein the name of God is fire(uently commemorated would bo utterlj lemolished." This permission to use foret Dn self-defence did not long answer the pur pose of the ambitious Prophet, accordinglj on consulting the oracle the response cam* —" Let them therefore fight for the relig ion of God, who part with the present lib in exchange for .that which is to oomc ; fowhosoever fightoth for the religion of Goc WALL'S HOTEL, THE undersigned has just recieved a fresh lot of Another man lives near you—never took your paper—it is too small—don't like the editor—don't like the politics—too Whiggish, or too something else—yet goes regularly to his neighbor and reads bis by a good fire—finds fault with its contents, disputes its positions, and quarrels with its type.

How graphically does Micah allude to the littleness of Bethlehem as the chosen spot for tbo development of this wonderful problem of grace and love. Among the thousands of Judah there were loftier spots whose pretentions might appear to be paramount for so glorious a local distinction. But Jehovah singled out the modest hamlet because it is a principle in his moral government first, to abate the arrogancy of human expectations, and then to remember the forgotten. We can almost imagine we can see the cities of Palestine pressing forward to urge their claims to be the birth place of Emmanuel, one pleads its commercial rank, and one its literary celebrity, and one its monarchial association ; while little modest Ephratah never dreams that she is to be singled out as an Alpine height among the mole-hills of them all, until propheoy puts his glowing hand upon her shrinking form and startles her with the assurance, that henceforth and forever she is to be a royal diadem in the hand of God; that she is to be married to the Manger, and the Manger of an infant. God is to be wedded by a ring of love to the hopes of humanity. Out of thee shall He come forth to me,, says the Father to Ephratah, and he also could have said, Out of me shall come forth to thee who shall be Ruler in Israel In his humanity he starts from Bethlehem to receive the consecration of his God for Dealers in DR.

The warm Southern sun, looking down upon the earth with its balmiest and kindliest greeting; the tall and reverend form of the aged pastor of divine life; and the rapt, solemn expression of upturned faces all lifted the soul with the beauty and dignity of the Soriptures. Just at this Solemn moment a lizard—probably revived by the sun'a hot rays—ventured into the holy sanctuary, upon the back of a seat whereon sat an old and eare-worn disciple of the church, without coat or veat. The extreme heat of the day wu ample apoktty for the scantiness of hi* apparel. By his side sat a lovely, red lipped daughter, apparently eighteen years of age—behind them a mischievious looking urchin of about fourteen. Seeing the lizard stretched at its lazy length—undeoided whether ' to proceed or retire from this thronged human habitation—the parent of all misoliief "put into the lad's head to catoh it by the tail. As he did so, he quietly leaned forward toward the old man who was inclined in a patient, hearing attitude, and droped it down the gap in his loose, home-made pantaloons. Feeling the roughness of the creature's claws, be jumped hurriedly and excitedly from his seat, bringing his "hand around with great force. The lizard, perceiving his advance cut off, turned for a retreat and gained admission beneath the coarse cotton shirt.

The Age of Man.—Few men die of age. Almost all men die of disappointment, passional, mental or bodily toil, or accident. The passions kill men sometimes even suddenly. The oommon expression, " choked with passion," has little exaggeration in it for even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life.— Strong bodied men often die young—weak men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength and the weak have none to use. The latter take care of themselves the tormer do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind. The strong are apt to break or, like the candle, run ; the weak burn out. The inferior animals which live temperate lives have generally their prescribed term of years. The horse lives twenty-five years; the ox fifteen or twenty , the hog ten or twelve; the Guinea pig six or seven. The numbers all bear proportion to the time the animal takes to grow to its lull size. But man of all animals, is the one that seldom comes up to the average. He ought to live a hundred years, according to this physiological law for five times twenty are one hundred; but instead of that, he scarcely reaches an av erage of four times the growing  The reason is obvious—man is not only the most irregular and the most intemperate, but the most laborious and hard worked of all animals. He is always the most irritable of all animals, and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell whacan animal secrtly feels, that more than any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the fire of his own reflection.
