TIE CuRIsTM,s-THEE. The Christ
mas-tree is doubtless Of German orr
gin. Though in its present form it is
comparatively Of recent date, yet its
pagan prototype enjoyed a very high
antiquity. The early Germans con-
ceived Of the world as great tree
whose roots were hidden deep under
the earth, but whose top, tlourishing
in the midst of Walhalla, the old Ger
man paradise, nourished the shc-goat
upon whose milk fallen heroes restor-
ed themselves. Yggdnatil was the
name of this tee, and its memory
was still green long after Christianity
had been introduced into Germany,
when much Of its symbolic character
was transferred to the Christmas-tree.
At first fitted up during the Twelve
Nights in honor of Berchta, the god
dess of spring, it was subsequently
transferred to the birthday Of Christ,
who, as the Goldman, is become the
resurrection and the life The
evergreen tir-tree. an emblem OF
sprlng-time, became the symbol Of an
eternal sping. The burning lights
were to adumbrate Him who is the
light of the world and the gifts tc
remind lis that God, in giving His
only Son for the worlds redemption,
conferred upon us the most priceless
Of all gifts This symbolism extended
also to the most usual Of Christmas
presents, apples and nuts: the former
being considered rs IN emplem OF
youth, the latter as a profound symbol
Of spring, while the "boy's legs re.

Eli Perkins on Round Dances.

In a letter, Eli Perkins gives his
opinion of round dances as follows:
Yesterday | asked young lady if
she danced round dances.
eyes," she replied, with my most
intimate friends. | don't dance them
with strangers"
Happy and good young lady. She
don't let only her intimate friends put
their arm around her. None but init
mate friends can hold her hand and
draw her swelling bosom to his. Oh,
no! Strange young fellows from Ho-
boken can't come up on a first intro
duction and encircle her in their arms
unless they are good looking and
practced in the subtle arts Of the
Brown Boys. This good young lady
is the only girl in Saratoga who will
not gladly permit an entire stranger to
be presented, and then--fall squarely
into his arms. O Temporal, O mores
| guess oldyClcero would have exclaim-
ed worse than that if he had seen Miss
Circero Afiicanus, three minutes after
Il Coliseum introduction. Now, my
dear mother in Israel dc you think all
this is Just right? 1t is the ritual of
society, know; but cant society have
its false dogma as we'll as religion If
it is wrong for fellow to even touch
young ladys hand in the parlor is it
altogether right for stranger to en-
circle her in his arms in the ball room ?
Don't, my dear mother, think for a
momcet that we fellows dislike it E?
Don't think that we are not willing to
clasp your daughters to our aching
hearts, for we are. We can hold them
in our arms for hours, and never tire
Of the delightful amusement. Don't
think we are sick of it, but with us it
is a question of morality, We want
to be good.
The old lady who refused to ride in
a mail coach because she didn't think
it right to ride altogether with gentle
men, is here, and she holds her daugh-
tcr's opera cloak every night, while
she dances with the Outgoing Brown
boys. De gustibus, etc Hugging is
a terrible word, but we are dealing
with terrible facts.

.1873 THE WORLD. 1073

A new political era is opening be-
fore the country.
The negro-cycle of our politics has
rounded to its conclusion through civil
war, social violence, industrial disord
err, and has ended in giving freedom to
four millions of the negro race, and the
ballot to it's adult males.
The old orderchangcth yielding place to new.
The politics of this new era will come
home to every mans business and
bosom as ueve: before, being vital to
private prosperity and the maintenance
of Il Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold en-
croachments of Federal upon State pow
ers and of both upon the large liberty of
Amei ~can freemen now as always to be
repealed with ceaseless vigilance not
only is home rule or local self
government now as always TO be main
tanned for the best guarantee of civil
liberty and Of national greatness, but
besides, the victories Of peace which
are to give splendor to the new poli,i-
cal era must he won against every
advantage which even enemies of free
institutions could desire or possess.
\ gigantic debt, which the honor of
the country is pledged to pay, en-
cumbers all our industries with its OPP
pressive burden. Nevertheless our
system Of Municipal aud State Taxa
ton are crude unequal, and defraud
the poor to release the rich. Never
less our system of Federal Taxation is
such an infamous masterpiece Of isuor-
ancc and incapacity, put to the vile
uses of monopolsts and favortcs and
thieves, as never anywhere has dis.
graccd modern civilization since Louis
XIV, with his methods of taxation
rather than its amount, paralyzed the
industries Of France. And along with
the Tariff, when prohibits the export
of our manufactures, abridges the
number of our industries. cuts down

farms, plantations, and mines abolish

\ writer in F'roser's Magazine ON
domestic Life and Economy in
France" remarks that the national
customs Of that country. rs well as
the sentiments Of the people, are such
as to favor III every way the practice
Of economy and the acquisition of
wealth. In the first place there is no
recognized standard Of public opinion.
Nothing in the least resembling our
Mrs Grundy' could ever gain adj
mittance or be tolerated there for II
single day. Whatever mistakes they
may make, whatever iollies they com
NIT, they are themselves individually
responsible. for it is essentially true in
France that each man "does what is
right in his own eyes" This, it will
not be denied, has its bad as well as
its good side; no one would dream,
for instance, of going to church be-
cause some one else did, nor of becom-
ing Republican because some one
else happened to be one. In France
no one even finds himself doing what
is personally unpleasant because it
will look well, or be thought well, or
because other people do it. Any
Frenchman, no matter of what rank,
would ridicule the idea of his social
position Or gentility being supposed to
depend in the slightest degree on such
accidents as whether his door-bell were
answered by maid or man-servant,
or whether the said man appeared in
coat or without one. The reason
for this Indifference lies in the ex-
traordinary absence of what can strict
ly be termed snobbishness in the
French character
