Chrislmas in Norway.


The following account of the Celebration of
Christmas in Norway occurs in letter recent
ly received from an American lady now visit
ing that country. An extract from one of her
previous letters appeared in our columns come
weeks ago, and was widely copied: r5
"As in most of the mountain regions, old
customs and traditions have taken deeper root
here and require longer :time to die out than
in any other countries; and in the interior oi
Norway many distinct traces Of Paganism and
ancient Catholicism are still to be found, cs-
pecially in the celebration Of Christmas, which
may be said to continue from Christmas eve
till two or three days after New Years,
though service ia held in the churches on three
days only. The days Of the year consecrated
by the ancient Scandinavians to the cele-
bration Of their great julie feast correspond ex.
actly with our Christmas, which is still called
by US "Juul." A peculiar feature of their
celebration was the drinking of strong beer,
and when inspireted TO sufficient de-
gree, they fought as long as they were able
to carry their sword and lance. The Juleol
christmas beer) and Juleksge christmas
cake) are still prepared, and in some place
several superstitious signs and ceremonies are
observed to keep evil spirits away from the
houses. On the afternoon preceding Christmas
eve, when the church bells begin to ''ring in the
feast'- as we say-all lay aside their work,
which is not again resumed for several days.
Golden sheaves Of corn are placed on the tops
Of the houses, or on long poles, that the birds
Of heaven may share with US in the abundance
of Gods blessings. At dusk, children robed in
white, carrying illuminated stars OF paper, 90
round from house to honse, proolaiming the ad.
vent Of our Saviour. In the evening comes the
Christmas tree, loaded with presents for the diff,
ferent members OF the family, W no gather round
the supper table to partake of the Risengryns-
grod, (boiled rice and milky which is as certain
to be found there as the turkey and plum pud-
ding on your Thanksgiving Day dinner table.
During the days between Christmas and New
Years, balls and other kinds.ofamusement al
frequent"

and manifest disregard Of the great int erests
Of their own section and in violation of all 10y
atty to the Constitution and the laws, but a
little calm and dispassionate reflection would
convince you that the sectional and aggressive
language and deeds Of yourselves and your de-
luded followers, continued and aggravated
through q long series Of years, could in the ma .
