Dies Natalis Invicti SOlis.s
A CHRISTMAS cASTrcLE.

The following beautiful poem, lately pub
shed in the New York Tribune, is, we believe
rom the pen of OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES II
a charming Christmas Carol, and the writer
axes the same view of the origin of the festivi
ras excmplificd in the recent lecture of Judge
'ABoR.
The altar-taper brightly glow,
The organ peals the exulting hymn
My thoughts, from all the Presents show,
Go back to ages far and dim.
Remember how the morrow's morn,
Was kept as festive by the Nile,
When Egypt deemed as newly born
Her god Of warm benignant SMILE
How by the Ganges' holy stream,
As the slow solstce reached its end,
The people blessed the frightening beam,
And offered gifts from friend to friend.
How Persia's priesthood, myrtle crowned,
81. To meet that Winter-dawning chill. u
Cpraised their hymns of joyful sound
Upon the cas- stward fronting hill.
How Rome her Saturnalia knew
w hen slave and master mingled free,
And revelIed all the short day through
With dance, and march OF mystery.
How our own fathers, waiting long
Upon their Saxon forest plain,
Bchcld, and hailed with shout and song,
The sun, returning north again
And, from their native woodlands gloom
Plucked bouShs of green and berries gay
To decorate each humble home,
And welcome the auspicious day.
But now this Feast of hoary Time
A new significance can claim
The epoch of Law sublime.
The birthday of an awful Name.
On columns raised in ragan pride
The martyr stands against the sky;
Whero tempie-fres burnt low and died,
The dome uplifts the cross on high.
The stately shades are seen no more
No Mithras on his hilltop lone,
No Horus by his sacred shore,
Nor Thor among his wilds is known.
Gone are our father warriors bold,
Our mother strong and fair,
Who danced in mystic maze of old
Around the Baal fires lurid glare.
Lost are their cairns, effaced their mounds,
Their substance, hid in grief away,
Has oft renewed the ceaseless rounds
OF life, and death, and sad decay.
Near Druid.circles half o'erthrown,
We find, to witness that they were,
But hunters spear Of bronze or stone,
Or brooch that bound the maiden's hair.
Two thousand Christmas ewes have fled
Since they obeyed the common call,
And thought to Join their kindred dead
In vast Volhalla's happy hall.
We'll! pay them reverence, even now,
And keep their ancient memories green !;
Up with tho fadeless cedar-bough
And let the berries shine between
Nor, while the Yule-log's ruddy fires [tree,
Light Christmas hearth and Christmas
Forget our vanished heather sires,
Where'er their long-fed ghosts may be
Literally" The Birthday of the Uhcon-
lered Son."
