Merry Christmas will soon be our
seasonable greeting. How quickly
the days with their duties and de-
mands have flown from us. Time
is a wonderful flyer—he goes with
the speed of ah arrow on and on,
unceasing in his flight—who can
stop him? Wej may halt, but time
never. He nrings the seasons
around to the very click. Have wre
delayed our opportunities to do
the good we intended? Time’s up
—he couldn’t s(op. Oh the value
of time—it’s more than mere mon-
ey—it’s life itself. We have only
this moment to wish you a merry
Christmas, thd ne:$t will be too
late. Not half j ong enough to wish
you all the good we desire for you.

makers. The housekeeper lets the

VALUE ^OF REPUTATION.
Who shall estimate the cost of a
priceless reputation—that impress
which gives this human dross its
currency—wi.hout which we stand
despised, debased, depreciated?
Who shall repair it injured? Who
can redeem it lost? Oh, well and
truly does the great philosopher of
poetry esteem the world’s wealth
as “trash” in the comparison.
Without it. gold has no value;
birth, no distinction; station, no
dignity; beauty, no charm; age.
no reverence; without it every
treasure impoverishes, every grace
deforms, every dignity degrades,
and all the arts, the decorations,
and accomplishments of life stand
like the beacon-blaze upon a rock,
warning the world that its ap-
proach is dangerous; that its con-
tact is death.
The wretch without it is eternal
quarantine; no friend to greet; no
home to harbor him. The voyage
of life becomes a joyless peril; and
in the midst of all ambition can
achieve, or avarice amass, or ra-
pacity plunder, he tosses on the
surge, a buoyant pestilence. Rut

ever neatness and cleanliness is! It is this which, consecrating the
her motto. She never thinks oi j humble circle of the hearth, will at
refusing a wail; over the fields with times extend itself to the circum-
lier husband or a pleasant after- | ference of the horizon; which
no .n ride to a triend’s on business.
By so doing sle feels fresher and
be ter. to perform the duties that
perchance weije left undone. She
tries to make Ijiome with her bright
presence thoujgh (maybe) storms
of sorrow may have swept over it,
the place where each member of
nerves the arm of the patriot to
save his country; which, if it does
not inspire, will yet invigorate the
martyr to merit immortality;
which, when one world’s agony is
passed, and the glory of another is
dawning, will prompt the prophet,
even in chariot of fire, and in his
vision of heaven, to bequeath to
mankind the mantle of his mem-
ory!
Oh, divine! Oh, delightful lega-
cy of a spotless reputation ! Rich
is the inheritance it leave; pious
the example it testifies, pure, pre-
cious and imperishable, the hope
which ^ inspires! Can there be
conceived a more atrocious injury
than to filch from its possessor this
inestimable benefit—to rob society
jf its char% .the so IF
solace" not only to ouTTaw life, bu
to attain death, converting the
very gravel the refuge of the suf-
ferer, in'to the gate of infamy and
shnme!
We can conceive of few crimes
beyond it. He who plunders our
property, takes from us that which
can be repaired by time: but what
period can repair a ruined reputa-
tion? He who maims our person,
effects that which medicine may
remedy; but what herb has sov-
ereignty over the wounds of slan-
der? He who ridicules our pov-
erty, or reproaches our profession,
upbraids us with that which in-
dustry may retrieve and integrity
may purify; but what riches shall
redeem the bankrupt fame? What
power shall blanch the sullied
snow of character? There can bo
no injury more deadly. There can
be no crime more cruel. It is with-
out remedy. It is without anti-
dote. It is without evasion.
The reptile, calumny, is ever on
the watch. From the fascination
of its eye no activity can escape;
from the venom of its fangs no
sanity can recover. It has no en-
joyment but crime; it has 110 prey
but virtue: it has no interval but
the restlessness of its m dice, save
when bloated with its victims, it
it grovels to disgorge them at the
withered shrine where envy idol-
izes her own infirmities.
