KEEPINO CHRISTMAS. --munte— , • The piper of "The World" (No. 101), thus hum ruonsly laments the decay of the old hospitable customs at Christmas : " Our ancestors consideredCbristmas in the (Inutile light of a holy cotontemorstion, and a cheerful festival, and accordingly distinguished it by devotion, by vacatioa from botsiner, by merriment, and hospitality. They seemed eagerly bent to make themselves, and every one about them happy ; with what palatinel zeal did they wish one another a merry Christmas! anti what an otnistion would it have been thought, to have concluded a letter without the Com• plimenis of rhe season! The great hall resounded with the tumultuous joys of servants and tenants, and the gam bols they played served as amusement to the Lord of the mansion, and his family, who, by encouraging every art conducive to mirth end entertainment, endeavoured to soft. n the rigour of the season, and u.itigate the influence of winter. What a fond of delight was the choosing of I Kini and Queen upon Twelfth Night! and how greatly ought we to regret the use of minced pies, which, besides the idea of merry-raking inseparable rom them, were always considered as the test of schismatics. How rep. Isrly were they swa'lowe.l by the orviodos, to the utter confusion of all fanatical remains! If a eonntry gentlermin should be so unfortunate in this age, as to be under a suspicion of la •resy, where will he find so easy • method of acquitting himself, as by the ordeal of plumb per. ridge."
