emn joyousness of the day, when, leaving the sapless bough and dead twig of the outer world, he stepped into the House of God and found it smiling with all the greenery of Spring. The work of decoration was a work of love, but much labor as well as taste had been expended upon it; and for the past week the old men and matrons, the young men and maidens, had been bringing the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the Temple of the Lord — for which latter you will, as Captain Cuttle says, overhaul your Isaiah. Grace Church was festooned from end to end with a double line of cedar wreaths. Hoops of the same hung between the windows and along the galleries. Over the altar hung a star of holly and box. St. James was dressed with great taste. A heavy braid of green ran straight around the galleries, intersected by the loops of two rows of cedar festoons. A cross of bright green hung over the pulpit.

was beautifully dressed with green and flowers, and lighted with great brilliancy and beauty. Vespers were chanted in the afternoon, and the benediction of the blessed sacrament performed. At the German Lutheran Church--St. John's-- the services were held by Dr. Schwarz, of Baltimore. The sermon was upon the nativity. At St. Peter's Cathedral services were commenced by a mass at five o'clock, which was followed by others, continuously, until half-past 10 o'clock, when the Right Rev. John McGill celebrated the Pontifical Sacrifice, the Rev. Dr. Becker acting as deacon, and Rev. P. J. O'Kief as sub-deacon. The church was neatly dressed. The galleries and pillars were festooned and hung with wreathes. The altar was arrayed with beautiful flowers, and brilliantly lighted. On an evergreen arch in the rear of the altar were written in golden letters, "Gloria in Excelcis, Deo." Mercandante's beautiful and brilliant mass, in B. flat, was sung with great spirit by the choir.

the appearance of Christ in this world as the Redeemer is the central fact in the history of man. All that period of time before Christ was but a grand evangelical preparation for his coming; all that era since the history of the spread of Christianity, a work to go on until the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of the Lord. He pursued this analogy in calling the advent of Christmas the central fact of each man's life, and closed by repeating the following beautiful hymn of Ray Palmer: Take me, O, my Father, take me-- That which Thou wouldst have me, make me; Take me, save me, through Thy son! Let Thy will in me be done! Long from Thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod-- Weary come I now, and praying, Take me to Thy love, my God! Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin-- At Thy feet, O, Father, falling, Take me to Thy household in. Freely, now, to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul

," At St. Mary's (German Catholic) there were three masses at the hours of five, half-past 7 and half-past 10. Father Meyer, the sole pastor, in consequence of his arduous duties, did not deliver any discourse. The altar was beautifully dressed with green and flowers, and lighted with great brilliancy and beauty. Vespers were chanted in the afternoon, and the benediction of the blessed sacrament performed. At the German Lutheran Church--St. John's-- the services were held by Dr. Schwarz, of Baltimore. The sermon was upon the nativity.

The lectern and pulpit were neatly trimmed, and the font was a pretty picture. Dr. Peterkin spoke from the chancel from the text, "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light." As an opening anthem, the choir sang, "Unto us a child is born," and sang during the service a new " Te Deum,"

Christmas at St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. We called yesterday upon the good Sisters who have this noble institution in charge to see their Christmas tree. These good ladies, whose presence in our hospitals during the war saved the lives of so many of our heroes, have under their care fifty-four orphans, and happier children did not yesterday sing lays of praise to the Infant Saviour. Though they have not the fostering hand of a father to care for them, nor the soothing tones of a mother's voice to cheer them in sadness or affliction, they seem to be perfectly happy, so well do their kind guardians fill the places of those that are gone, and so much do they devote themselves to the welfare and enjoyment of their wards. It is customary with the Sisters to have for the orphans a Christmas tree. The one of yesterday was full of "Kriss Kringle's good things," and there was something there to bring joy to the hearts of each of these motherless little ones.

Richmond Female Humane Association. --We called last evening at the Orphan Asylum of the above Association, and found the little orphans in the act of celebrating Christmas by way of a feast, in conjunction with the little boys from the Male Asylum, whom they had invited to partake with them. It was truly a happy sight to see these children in their pure enjoyment, their faces radiant with smiles of happiness, as they gathered around their plain but well stocked board. They also had a pretty Christmas tree. From the polite and kind matrons of the Male and the Female Asylums, and from a lady who is a prominent officer in the Female Humane Association, we learn that these is situations are very much in need of funds, necessary for their maintenance. Richmond was never yet backward in her charities, and her citizens need only to be shown where their good works are needed Here, then, they have an opportunity for charitable deeds.

ly to be shown where their good works are needed Here, then, they have an opportunity for charitable deeds. Some of the sources of support have been suddenly withdrawn, and these good ladies are now much straitened to keep their noble work in operation. The Female Asylum has thirty orphans, and it is with much difficulty that they can be fed and clothed. They have energetic matrons to take care of them who express a determination to persevere in their efforts, although the funds of the Association are too low to pay their salaries. Let our citizens come forward and do all in their power to relieve them from their embarrassments. Let them remember, also, that some of these orphans are the children of soldiers, who gave up their lives for Virginia, and left their little ones to the charities of the country for which they were sacrificed. Contributions will be thankfully received by Mrs. Lipscomb, Directress of the Female Asylum, and Mrs. Saunders, of the Male Asylum.
