Origin OF Christmas.

The precise date of the institution of
the Christmas festival is involved in OBJ
scurity. The origin of Christmas as a
religious feast, is ascribed to the deere.
tai letters addressed TO Pope Telespho-
rus, who died A. ID. 1873. 1t was at first
the movable of Christian festivals, and
was eonfounded with the Epiphany and
celebrated by the Eastern churches in
the months of April and May. Under
the Ponti6cate of Pope julius l., 337-352,
st. Cyril of Jerusalem urged the import
ance of making Christmas an immovable
festival, and obtained an order from the
pope to make proper investigation for
the purpose of determining the exact
date. A conference held between the
churches of the East and West resulted
in the adoption of the twenty-fifth of
December. Gibbon says the festival OF
Christmas was placed at the winter
solstice, with the view of Transforming
the Pagan Saturnalia into Christmas
festival. 1t is curious to note that at
the present day many of the customs
which are observed at Christmas are OF
Pagan origin, as described by Martial
and other Roman authors. The Christ
mas tree is another example of the power
and influence of Christianity to trans
form Pagan rites and ceremonies. The
Christmas tree, which is of German ori-
gin, is simply the symbol of the tree
Isdragil, or tree of life, which figured SC
conspicuously in Scandinavian mythol-
ogy. No festival of the Christian
church surpasses Christmas in the ex-
emplification of the power and influence
of religion, Wherever the Christian
may be when this day arrives his heart
is moved with that common Impulse oI
JOY, peace and good will which the sea,
son invokes. The old recall the days OF
youth, the young are absorbed in the
present, the distant wanderer revives
kind thoughts ofhome. and tender recol-
lections serve to render absent friends
more dear, and that one touch of nature
which makes the whole world kin ex
hibits its best influence.

Pansy's New Years Card.

Conf"
"Oh! fie, papa! Fie!'
Sturdy old Squire Cranborne put
aside with gentle violence the fair
hand which his eldest daughter
Katherine had placed over his lips.
Il won't be silenced" he cried Il
say again, heartily, confound all new
tangled customs, and especially this one
of sending cards to people on New Years
day. It's nuisance, and ought to be
put down. There's my letter bag more
than an hour late, and crammed so full
of rubbish that the lock is strained, and
can't get the bag open at all!'
After another effort, however, the
lock yielded, and the angry squire
poured out some score OF two OF letters
upon the breakfast-table.
"Miss Cranborne,' Miss Cranborne, )
Why, they are all for you, Kitty, de-
clare! Here, take them away-take all
the lot-and if you find letter for me
just hand it over"
Don't be cross, father; and Please
don't call me Kitty"
The squire just then was finishing
his cap of coffee, and kind of gurgling
growl was his only response.
uuSb lOOh' OllCd IbIlltl1u OAulU-
ingly. She was busily sorting the let
ters nearly all of which were placed in
one pile. Just look at them!'
Are they all for youP"
is to be beautym
"And an heiress," added her father.
oh, of course-and an heiressm
But you do not mean to say" con-
nued the squire, as he took his own
letters, that there is not enc for my
little Pansy?"
| Katherine gave gesture OF contempt.
"Of course there is not! She is by far
too Insignificant and insipid creature
to receive any such attentions"
And she is no heiress" added the
squire.
II do wish you would not make so
many allugisns to my fortune!"
Cant help it, Kate. There's my
! Pansy, as beautiful as the flower
named her after. But she is no heiress
You understand"
Katherine did not answer. She was
aAxiously scrutinizing the handwriting
on the envelopes before proceeding to
open any of them.
A young girl who had been seated op-
poSlte to her now rose, and going to the
squire, put her arms round his neck and
kissed him fondly.
A world OF love came into the old
mans eyes, and he stroked her hands
caressingly.
"Never mind, Pansyi" he said, II am
very glad no one sends you such rub
bish. And / am thankful you are nc
heiress. Perhaps no one will want to
take you from me!'
Tears rose into Pansy's eyes, fol-
though she said nothing she could NOT
help feeling little pang of disappoint-
ment at the discovery that no one had
thought it worth while to send her one
card that brilliant New Years morning
But she checked the tears back, and to
hide her emotion, kissed her father
again and again.
Squire Cranborne, the father of the
two motherless girls who Were at break
fast with him that morning, had mar.
ried twice. His first wife, vain, prouc
weman, had large fortune in her owr
right, and on her decease-which oc
CURED soon after Katherine's birth.-sh,
left all her property to her little daugh
ter-to be held in trust until she shoult
either marry or attain the age OF twenty
one.

A State EXecutiOner.

In the hietne J0a175dL, q daily news
paper recently started in Berlin by the
Prussian railway king, DR.. Strousberg,
is published some curious details of an
interview recently granted to the writer
by Krauts, the State eXecutioner, who
beheaded Hoedel last summer. While
Monsieur de Berlin was chatting
pleasantly with his visitor about the
would-be egicide-Krauts' first per-
formance as headsman--'t knock was
heard at the door, and footman in
splendid livery entered the room with
the request that the Scharfrichter would
be pleased to speak with him for a mo-
ment in the passage. Krauts went out
with the lackey, and, after brief in
terchange of sentences in an undertone
was heard to say aloud: Tell her ex-
cellency the lady countess that am very
sorry, but / cannot, dare. not, do itf'
lnterrogated, upon his return, by the
visitor, with respect to the mission OF
the mysterious man-servant, he replied
with smile: ooh, it was only a re-
quest from one of my sympathizers,
such as reach me several times a week,
You may often see the handsomest
equipages in Berlin standing at the cor
ner of the Mulack strasse. They bring
me lady visitors-young and old, pretty
and ugly. Yes, yes; many ladies of our
highest aristocracy have called upon me,
and have insisted upon seeing my wife,
when ! was not at home" And what
did these ladies wantp" "The merest
rubbish. Hair-cuttings of criminals,
Tor instance--a blood-stained pocket
handkerchief morsel of bread from
the headsman's breakfast-table, or one
of my gloves" Krauts himself is fine
young fellow, decorated with the iron
cross for valor in the field. Like most
subordinate flnetionaries in Prussia, he

army, and received his present appoint.

How Emigrants are Received in New
York

When vessel arrives having on board
a lot of emigrants, officers from Castle
Garden go aboard and check all their
baggage, which is then removed to the
great baggage-room of the garden.
Then the emigrants are removed
to that depot, none being allowed to go
ashore until all have passed through the
routine eotregistration, OF etc. Almost every
proper want the emigrants can have may
be satisfied within the building. There
is restaurant, at which they may get
plain and wholesome food at very rea-
sonable prices; there are exchange Off
ces, at which they may exchange their
foreign gold and paper into American
money there are railroad and steamboat
offices, at which they may engage trans
portation to every part of the country;
there is abundant space on large settees
and clean floors for them to spread their
beds; there is branch of the custom
house where they may settle their dues
with least inconvenience; there is hos
pitali in which their sick are Immediately
cared for; there are Interpreters to give
them any information they may desire,
and through whom they receive letters
from friends there are clerks to examine
the tickets they have bought in Europe
and see that they have not been swindled; ;
last of all, when they are ready to go
forth, if their destinations are away
from New York, there are barges which
carry them and their luggage, at five
o'clock every day, to the principal rail
ways. If they desire to remain in New
York they are aided in finding their
friends, or, lacking friends, are enabled
| to get temporary lodgings from emf
grant lodging-hsuse keepers, who are
licensed and held to the strictest
responsibility for their honest treatment.
If they are sick OF destitute they are sent
to Wards Island, and if they are in
want of employment there is labor
bureau in the garden which finds work
Tor great numbers of domestics and la
borers. And all this is without a
charge of single cent to the emigrants.
Even when within five years they come
back to the commissioners of emigration
for care or cure they are provided for on

A "Reminiscences of Hooker.

How it came about that 5000 Confed-
crate soldiers cheered Justify for " Fight
ing Joe Hooker" is explained by the
editor of the Rural SIN NASHVILLE,
Tenn, who was a prisoner at Rock
Island, H., during the severe winter of
1s63-64. The general visited the mill
tary prison one day, and all the inmates
were drawn up in line for inspection.
His keen eye seemed to scan every man
from head to heel, as he slowly passed
before them, and at the upper end of
the lines the party halted. The general,
half-wheeling his horse, lifted his
plumed hat with as much knightly grace
as if they had all been courtiers, and a
soft expression passed over his face
as he said, Young gentlemen, l am
sorry, very sorry for you, and hope soon
our differences will be settled, so that
you all can return safely home again"
Simple as the expression was, it was so
different from those they had been ac-
customed to hearing from the COM
mander of the prison that it touched the
hearts of the ragged Rebs " like cur
rent of electricity, and Instantly 5000
throate gave msty cheer for Joe

Buried Treasure.

buried treasure.
Upon time-I do not know
Exactly when, but long ago
A man whose riches were untold,
Silver and precious stones and gold,
Within an Eastern city dwelt
But not moments peace he ielt,
For fear that thieves should force his door,
And rob him of his treasured store.
In spite of armed slaves on guard,
And doors and windows locked and barred,
His life was one continual fright;
He hardly slept wink by night,
And had so little rest by day
That he grew prematurely gray.
AT last he dug a monstrous pit
To hold his wealth, and buried it
By night alone; then smoothed the ground
So that the spot could not be found.
But he gained nothing by his labor;
curious, prying envious neiohbor.
Who marked the hiding, went and told
The sultan where to find the gold.
A troop oil soldiers came next day,
And bore the boarded wealth away.
Some precious Jewels still remained,
Fer which goody price he gained,
Then left the city quite by stealth,
To save the remnant OF his wealth;
But, now, by hard experience taught,
A better way to keep it sought.
Broad lands he bought, and wisely tilled
With fr,;ta o,,d s,,o;, b;o hanna ba dl1od.
He used his wealth with liberal hand;
His plenty flowed through all the land;
And, hid no longer underground,
Spread honest comfort all around.
Thus calm and prosperous pass the years,
Till on lated day he hears
The sultan's mandate, short and dread,
Present thyselt or lose thy headw
Fearful and trembling, he obeys,
For sutans have their little ways,
And wretches who affront their lord
Brave bastinado, sack, or cord.
Before the dreaded throne he bowed
Where sat the sultan, grim and proud,
And thought " My head mast surely fall,
And then my master will seize all
My wealth again" But from the throne
There came calm and kindly tone:
My son, well pleased am to see
Thy dealings in prosperity;
May Allah keep thee in good health!
Well hast thou learned the use OF wealth.
No longer buried underground,
ITS comforts spread to all around.
The poor mans blessings on thy name
Are better far than worldly fame.
called thee hither. Now, behold,
Here are the silver, gems and gold
] took from thee in other days;
Receive them back and go thy ways,
For thou hast learned this truth at last
Would that it might be sown broadcast!
That riches are but worthless pelf
When boarded only for ones SELF"

Shocking Death in q Cotton Mill.

Mr.. Raymond Knowles, the superin-
tendent of the Thistle cotton mills, in
Leicester, Md, met his death in sim
gular and shocking manner. Some of
the hands in the sixth story of the mill
had been lowering cotton by the eleva-
tor to the lower floor. Mr.. Knowles,
wishing to go to the upper floor, placed
his foot in the hook of the rope by
which the cotton had been lowered, ana
shouted, "Here goes; hoist aw y"
Those above, thinking that he was jok-
ing, and did not intend to go up in that
way, started the steam windlass, and
Mr.. Knowles was jerked up to the roof
of the building. The impetus was so
great that it was impossible TO arrest
his ascent, and the top OF his head struck
the roof with such force that his skull
was crushed. The first intimation those
on the ground floor had of the terrible
accident was when the body OF the un-
fortunate man fell headlong from the
roof to the basement, distance of 200
feet. A physician was summoned, and
then it was ascertained that in addition
to the fracture of the skull his hip bone
had been badly fractured by the fall
and had penetrated the temoral artery,
from which his life blood poured, caus-
ing his death in about two minutes
The body was so shockingly mutilated
rs to be almost unrecogniSable, even by
| his family,
