The Origin Of Christmas
a3 Gifts.

Christmas gifts had their
origin in the Roman Paganalia,
was instituted by Servius~
'Tullius, iB. G. $50. On these fes-
tiyals, celebrated at the begin
ming Of the year, an altar was
erectedDin every village, and to
the box placed upon it every
man, woman and child was ex-
pected to contribute coin. Au-
brey speaks Of a pot in which
Roman coins. were found, and
supposed'to be one Of these Pag-
analia vessels. The Christmas
box naturally arose from this
Pagan New Years box. There
is an impressive propriety and
tender beauty, however, in thus
commemorating the event which
gave a Divine Redeemer to man
kind. 1t is, morever, an equally
appropriate custom which makes
the season one, not only of COM
posing and forgetting old quar-
rels, and renewing and confirm
ing friendships, but for a univer-
sal manifestation of generosity
and charity from the rich to the
poor-in olden times this benef-
cence extended even to the low
est animals, a practice to which
Burns alludes in ''The Aud Far
mer's Address, to his Mare"
