cast enmity to the winds. Con

Among the pageants of Christmas was
the Lord of Misrule,' mock dignitary. in
vested while the holidays lasted with a
sort of dictatoriaI power. The nature of
his office may be inferred from his name.
His authority was recognized in all the
great houses, beginning with the royal resi-
dence.-"In the feast of Christmas" (says
the chrOniclcr of Stowc,) there was in the
Kings house, or wherever he lodged, 4 Lord
Of Misrulc. or Master Of Merry Disports, and
the like had We in the House of every noble
man of honor or good worship, were he
spiritual or temporal. The following is
extracted from an account of Christmas
revcllings in the sixteenth century:
"All the wild heads of the parish, conveu-
ing together, choose them grand captain
OF mischief, a Lord of MIsrulc, and him they
crown with great solemnity. The king APP
pointed chooscth Iustv fellows, like himself.
