Fifty years ago! Not so very far for

seems an almost impossible accom-

as to get n glimpse ol’ the improv il

Fifty years ago the clearlngs were,

grown, notwithstanding the crude cul-

WHAT DICKENS SAYS.
I have always thought oi' Christmas
time, when it has come around, as a
good time, i1 kind, forgiving. charit-
able, pleasant time, the only time I
know of, in the ioiig calendar of tho
year, when men and women seem by
one consent to open their shut-up
hearts freely. And. therefore. though
it has never put a scrap of gold or
silver in my pocket, I believe that it
has done me good. and will do me
good; and I say. God bless it.-»
