VACATIoNs.-Few can question the pos
sible advantages of vacations. They are
often sources of pleasure and profit, rest
ing the weary, Frightening the dull, and
comforting the sad. When they are really
needed, or have been fairly earned, no one
objects to them; but since they have be-
come so fashionable that people are almost
compelled to take them whether they cray
them or not, something is TO be said on the
other side. 1t might be at least as we'll if
we took frequent excursions of day at a
time, reaching home at night, instead of
being contented with constant "drudgery"
five-sixths OF the year for the sake of a
month or two of subsequent idleuess. 1t
was not croaker or cynic, but genial
and sunny faced though very earnest man
who said TO us lately, 81 am getting out of
patience with summer recreations. They
break up life; weaken the relations of
home, cause wicked expensiveness and
sadly interrupt the order and interest of
our church life."
This may be an overstatement, yet there
Is much truth in 1t. The modern restless
ness which has oecasioned great deal of
our rowing grows by what il feeds on. If
all persons were satisfied with brief seasons
Of relief from routine duties, returning to
the hard work and heavy responsibilities
of life with new cheerlulness and diligence
there would be no abuse of vacations but
too many insist upon prolonging the time
OF absence to the utmost practicable extent,
and when they return II is not long before
they relapse into fatigue and enRM. The
appetite for play becomes ravenous, while
the relish for labor is gradually dulled,
and sad havoc is oflen made in domestic
life. Husbands aud fathers, especially in
critical times, must keep near the scenes of
business; and although a generous man
may make no complaint, 1t is not a light
cross TO be away from those who are dear
est to him, week afler week, and month
after month. The increased expense of a
divided household living in several places
has some share in Fastening many bank
ruptcles. Besides, the new friendships
formed where there is full leisure for social
attentions sometimes make old friends at
home, buster but not less fond or true,
seem comparatively unatlractive; and so
we lose one Of The chief charms OF life
neighbors whom we love and enjoy

German ChiId Romances.

Every age and every country has its ro-
nance, but the romance of childhood be-
longs more especially TO Germany. Won
derful tales of fairies and Kobolds, OF pix
les and watersprites, of dwarfs and giants,
are sung over the babes in the cradle, told
by the Preside of every hut and cottage to
the wondering, eager little blonde-haired
children, whose eyes are so full of earnest
ness and belief. What histories are con-
nected with the tir-trees, with the beloved
and venerated ChriStbauml What legends
Turk in the caves and woody hollowsl
Though II be yet summer, the child sees in
fancy the beautiful Weindtchsbaum adorn-
ed with splendid sparkling things, as the
Gospel is adorned with promises and hopes
rich the gins, as the three Kings were rich;
pointing TO heaven as the angel pointed
bright as those very heavens were bright,
with silver winged messengers; crowned
with gold as the Word was crowned odor-
Gus like the frankincense sparkling like
the star; spreading forth its arms full of
peace and good will on every side hold
ing out gins and promises for all. And
they see old King Winter making ready
for his journey from the North Pole; his
spiked crown of icicles on his head, his
long white beard is frozen his snow man
tie and ice sceptre, and rubicund nose, and
good-humored laugh; all are familiar 10
them. He comes in sledge drawn by
reindeer, and with him comes his queen,
Frau Hole, who, like a tender wife, stuffs
his cushion with snow-hakes they are at
fapAaI hot lao; - Rn.
precht, the WeindtchSmann, he who knows
all about the good and naughty children.
And the vassals of King Winter, when
they know he is coming, hasten TO spread
beautiful rime carpets before him and, as
he loves fine mirrors, Knecht Ruprecbt
lays clear crystal looking-glasses over the
lakes and rivers for his lord and masters
delight. There are no leaves on the trees,
(ony the ever-faithlul fir is green,) so the
trusty servant hangs gittering ice-spanges
on the bare branches. Flowers there are
none TO cast before his sovereign's feet on
his entry into those more southern lands,
and so he traces beautiful frost flowers on
all the window-panes TO gladden. the stern
old monarchs heart. And the sun rises in
the morning and gazes with wonder at the
result of Knecht Ruprechts midnight in
dustry, and sinks 10 rest again after his
brief day without having robbed the white
bearded Winter king of one of his delicate
frost flowers; and when all is ready Knecht
Ruprecht is sent forth to hear news of the
good children; The Winter King and Frau
II ollie begin to adorn the fir-trees with
m arch-pane and glded nuts, apples, quinc-
es, and thousand tempting sweetmeats.

ings, and the tspers will soon be lighted.
