that on Christmas Eve, at the solemn
hour Of twelve, all wateris turned in-
to wine. Moreover, 1t is averred by
the gossips, that once upon this
charmed eve woman was foolhardy
enough to 20 alone to q well to draw
water, and rs she was bending over

IAN water Is wine. "
And thy two ayes are mine #
and Immediately she was deprived of

Here isa queer method the Ger
mans have OF quleting restless baby.
They say: "In the Twelfths (mean-
ing the twelve days Of Christmas) q
piece OF yarn should be spun and
wound the contrary way, through
which II child that is unquiet be
nut thrice, twill then become quiet"
Or If It be put rs many times through

the same beneficial effect.
These little items may be useful Tor
young married people to know.
IF n girl wishes to know to what
station Of life her future husband VIII
belong, she must listen upon Christ
mas Eve to the singing Of the tea
kettle upon the stove. II the water
makes q roaring sound, he VIII De q

But alas! the good old times are
gone forever when the industrious
maiden found an Incentive to toll ~
her firm belief that the good fairies
who wait their rounds at Christmas

also Is, q God helps them that help
themselyes;p " He that goes a borrowing
goes a sorrowing;" Continual dropping
wears away stones;n though the germ OF
this, by the way, is to be found in, Lucre-
thus and Ovid. Rabelais has given us
many popular phrases, such as she
thought the moon was made Of green
cheese" "By robbing Peter he paid
PAUL." "The devil was sick, the devil q
monk would be; the devil was well the
devil amonk was he" The phrase, "War
even to the knife" was the answer OF
Palofax, the Governor Of Saragoza, when
he was summoned to surrender by the
French, who were besieging the city in
1908. One OF the sources from which
many Of our popular quotations have
flowed, is Lord Roscommon's Essay on
Translated Verse for example, the coup
let SO confidently attributed to Pope,
" Immodest words admit Of no defense,
for want Of decency is want Of sense;"
and CHOOSE an author as you choose
friend" Lord Lytton somewhere says
that Horace has supplied, after Shaks-
speare, the greatest number Of quotations.
II is true he is the author who rises most
readily to the lips Of the scholar, and by
his marvellous powers Of uniting happy
condensation with strong common sense
affords the readiest medium of expressing
the ordinary incidents Of life in the ters-
est language; but curiously enough there
are very few standard quotations to be
culled from his works. Terence and
Plautus have furnished us with far
greater number, though we owe still
larger debt Of gratitude to Virgil and
Ovid. In Greek literature the great
storehouses Of quotations are undoubted-
ly the fragments OF the tragic and comic
poets, particularly Mehander, whose say
ings have been filtered through thou
sand channels, and form no inconsidera-
Bile part Of the sum Of the familiar quo
tations most in vogue. a-.

So up to the housetOp the coursers they few o."
With the sleigh full Of toys and st. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling, heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof
As Idrew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, u.s.
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes and SCOT
bundle of toys he had flung on his back, a
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples-how merry
Hischeeks were like roses, his nose like cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like bow,
And the beard on his chin white as the snow,
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it eneircled his head like wreath;
He had a broad face, and little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like bowl full Of jelly
He was chubby and plump Alright jolly old elf;
