The Christmas Tree.

The origin of the Christmas tree,
which so many of our citizens have in
troduced into their househod de- for the
enjoyment of their children, is thus
given: In Germany, many years ago
when the houses were decorated with
evergreens for the Christmastide, il
was the custom to select large bough
tor conspicuous place, and on it were
placed the presents for the children.
After a time the bough became a
tree, dressed with symbolical ornaments
and adorned with gifts for the house
hold, OF which the children had much
the largest share.
The custom was imported into Eng
land and this country, and has now
become almost universal, and each
year adds fresh marvels and delights to
the magical fruits of this tree.
The mystery of its preparation is halt
of the charm. The bright eyes OF the
little ones turns wistfully toward the
locked doors Of the room that contains
the wondrous tree; they long to take
peep, and they would not "ior the
world" Not they.
Some still retain the Christmas tree
in it's old form-that is, after the orna-
mems are on, space ia left tor the chill
dren's presents; others place all the
family gifts on or under the tree. and
after those of the children are distribu-
ted, the little ones discover and present
the gifts OF the older members OF the
family; and others again make Of
their Christmas trees mere show
pieces on which to arrange artistically
the glittering baubles, the stars, angels,
etc. and these are often accompanied by
such costly ornaments that such a tree
without Gift on it will cost hundreds OF
dollars. Such msgnifcance must, Of
course, be on exhibition, for it is entire
" too artistic and costly an affair to be
thrown away on the children alone; 80
it is advertised privately and all &C
ou.intances OF the family visit it be-
tween Christmas and New Year. 1t is,
in truth, a tribute to family vanity
rather than to family affection.
The second plan seems TO be the more
desirable. The Christmas tree is then
what it should be-!he home center
sacred to the family, around which
gather old and young, linked to each
other by loving remembrances. 1t is
understood that the trees belong espe-
cialIy to the children, but it lie well
that they should feel that the festival is
not entirely their own, and should be
led to take an interest and pleasure in
the gifts and the Merry Christmas OF
the grown-up folk, and in short share
tbs;r Christmas tree with them.

By her Acquaintance.

Oh muse, quiet thyself,
Till with the Nymph converse,
And again become myself. .
And begin anew my thoughts to rehearse
Many have been the lengthy days
Since you and were parted,
And changed are our ways,
Which find me broken-hearted.
How Oft have l wished for the time
rh When could ,dn see yoS as You usId to be-
How beautiful you seemed to me.
Your pretty face and raven hair,
With perfect symetry of form,
Are enough to "smaSh" a million heir,
Without an artificial charm.
Oh. lady, has fate decreed,
That from you shah ever roam, -
And be from you forever freed,
With nothing but desolate home?
Oft have In my slumbers thought
That was by your side,
And for you had sought,
And had found-awaking-I cried.
Alas vain delusion is a dream,
A Joy, but, awakine. q curse
Nothing like, what 'twould seem,
Oh! what could be worse?
Our pleasantries could recall,
That we might live them over again,
II nothing would us befall,
To see if'twould be As it might have been
And should You on me some pity take,
And answer these dull lines,
Nv fortune would stake
That you will yet be mine.
The lady to whom the lines are dedicated
Is a lady of Huntington,
Among the fairest that are created
To shine upon earth under the sun.
She is adorned with raven hair,
Her complexion blonde,
Her eye sparkling, her cheek fair
And slave to her beauty bound.

MARRIED IN A SNOW.STORM.

About the year 1871, memorable in
Russian history, there lived upon the
estate OF Nemaradof, a rich landed
prophet tor, Gabrilovitch by name, no

His house was always open to his
friends and neighbors, who used to
oongregate there every evening" the
elder ones 10 enjoy a game of cards
with the host and his wife Petrowna,
the younger ones in the hope of win
ming the favor of Marie, a beautiful
girl of seventeen, the only daughter aud
heiress Of Gabriloyitch.
Marie read French novels. which
naturally rendered her very sentiment

rumstances love was not TO long in

was a Russian cadet, with scarcely n
a penny in his pocket, who resided in
the neighborhood, and was then ut

strictly forbidden her thinking of such
a union, and they treated the lover,
wherever they met him, with Just as
much friendliness rs they would have

Am0rous pair meantime carried on q
correspondence, and met clandestinely
beneath the shade OF the pine grove, OF
behind the old chapel. As will readily

the severity of fate. and devised bean
tiful plans for the future. After som,

Ni111oNs of pairs Of shoes tipped

with metal, are sold every year. For children's
shoes they are absolutely indispensable, I'M
less one can afford the waste of buying two
pairs, when only one would be needed; and few
can safely submit to such a constant leak.
With most people it is the little economies of

Professional Laughers.

The hilariaus Philadelphia known
as Laughing Bill, F" whose cachinna-
tory gifts have gained him wide
celebrity, and rendered HIM a terror
to all theatrical managers who have
ever been afflicted with his patronage,
would evidently find his most promis-
ing field for attaining usefulness and
popularity in France In Paris pro-
fessional laughers of ability find ready
engagements at the music halls, where
they are scattered among the audiences
to lead the laugh mt all comic passages,
and by the contagious influence of
their simulated mirth evoke demonstra-

unfortunate man had mistaken his cue,
and had burst ont in the midst of a
touching couplet about Alsace and
Lorraine.
