Christmas in England.

In England, Christmas Is celebrated

perhaps nre aware of the difficulties
once in the way OF establishing this glad

which it has been honored. Towards

itasively determined and we believe
that the latter opinion is the correct ono.
Christmas is the great holiday Of the
year, when even grnndpnpas and grand

children all over again. They seem to

A Christmas SNOWFALL.

Snowbails filed with Christmas gifts
is II lato idea of holiday humor. A frame
OF. whnlebono or wires i'll halves is filed
with toys and bon-bons, covered with
thick paper, the halves lightly fastened
together and covered with pure white
wadding. The balls may be made small
and the funof pelting the family with
them forms part of tho ceremonies of
Christmas morning, the ball flying open
and scattering the presents over the re-
ceivers head. Or huge SNOWFALL is
made and rolled into the room, as part of
the Christmas tree festivities. The semi
circular whulebone or crinoline ndress
improvers' can be put to good use for
snowballs i'll their way by joining pair
and covering round with cotton.

IT would save great dea- Of ombar-
iia,ssment and perhaps add to their emol-
'umcnts if clergymen generally were to
charge fixed rate for marrying couples
say $5 for the first offence, $40 for the
second, $50 for the third, and 80 on.
They might even issue tickets, rs they do
in milk factories, with reduction to
persons taking a quantity. In order to
encourage lawful wedlock, the job should
be done very oheaply to young couples,
but the clergy could take It out OF widow
ers and old bachelors.

THE WOMEN OF MoNTENEGR The
Montenegrin woman takes an equal
share of labor with the man at field work,
and she does all the carrying, In travel
here one engages horse to ride and a
woman for the baggage. Only those who
have neither wife, mother, daughter nor
dependent female relation shoulder burdens
as a common thing. Transport by animals
also is department of female occupation.
Coming from Cettinje here, one meets pack
horses, mules, donkeys, going up in droves,
with a gang of women following IRE
mendous weights they carry, slung by
straps that cross the upper chest, and as
they go they knit or spin. These jewellers
by the frontier are much better looking
than the unmixed race of the interior, but
not less hardy, strong and Independent.
They have no shame or hesitation in beg
ging, and universal mendicancy on the part
OF women and girls must, 1 imagine, have
its Influence on morality. In leaving Mon
tenegro, the traveller carries with him a
deep regard and admiration for the gal
lantry, the manliness, and the shrewd in.
telligence of this strange people. He is
constrained to wish them well, and to hope
that they will acquire means to live at
peace hereafter.

Come, We children, and grown-up people all,
Unto your laughing jollitie bid you fail;
l am old Christmas, in my snow white pail.
Yeere after yeere, I come with merry Ginning,
And sing many song OF ancient rhyming,
Whilst winter hoare from hill to hill is climbing.
But, leavening the joy, let solemn thought
Dwell on the wonders this great season wrought
The glorious news by choits OF angels taught.
Remember how the shepherds dazzled sight
Was turned to gaze upon the heavenly light
Which broke SO gloriousiy upon the night
And how the silence fed before the sound
OF angels thrilling voices, which around
Made their sweet anthem OF great joy resound.
"Glory to God on High, and on earth peace,
Goodwill toward men = Of charlie iacrease,
And from sins hateful slavery release.
Through Him who came from heaven on earth
DWELL
With migttie power to conquer death and hell
To him let everlasting praises swell.
