Christmas Superstition.

Tho superstitions connected with
Christmas are many and full Of interest.
In reference to it almost every people,
and indeed every community, have theis
pet sayings and signs. Stories in con-
necGon with birds and beasts arc abund-
ant. Shakespeare, encouraging the
idea OF the influence in the lower order
of animals, refers to the tradition that ut
midnight of Christmas Eve, at the crow
ing OF the cock. cyil spirits forsnke the
earth and seek their OWL, places.
In western part of Deyonshire, En-.
glnnd, notion prevails that Mt twelve
o'clock at night OH Christmas Eve, tho
oxen in their stnlls nre always found
upon their knees as if in devotion, while
what Is more remarkable in tho super
stition is that since tho the change Of
style they are found III kneeling postures
only Oh Christmas Day. An honest
countrymnn, living on tho edge OF st.
Stephens Down, near Launceston, Corn
wall, says that lie, with some others,
once made trial of tho oxen on Christ
mas Eve, and, watching several in their
stalls ct the appointed hour, observed
the oldest two fall upon their knees aud
make 20 CRUEL moan like Christians. I"
There Is an old picture in which the
nIen OF The stable are represented in q
supplicant position ON their knees, and
doubtless this picture originated tho
fabulous story of the honest country

Christmas Carols.

In Shakespeare time carols were sung
in tho streets at night during Christmas
by the waits, or watches, who expected
to receive gifts for their singing. Many
a writer Of old times and customs refers
to the "wakctul kctchcs Of Christmas
Eve" It was after ,hc Reformation that
they ceascd to sing Latin hymns in the
churches, and substituted the swee.
Christmas carols. For there wcre two
kinds Of carols in vogue--those Of
devotional nature, which were sung not
only in the churches, but also through
tho streets from house to house upon
Christmas Eve, and even after that morn
ing and evening, until Twelfth Day.
In those times men were able TO spare
more than one brief day for the celebra-
ton Of Christmas, and kept up the
festival for at least twelve days. Other
carols were OF livclicr nature, and were
especially adapted TO the revel and the
feast where tho lord OF misrule had
potent sway. These carols were also
called assail-songs, and probably
originated among the Anglo-Normnne,
who were Of convivinl nature. No
Christmas entertainment was complete
without the Joyous singing OF carols, and
thence came the motto. mo Song, no
Supper" for every geucst ut the table
was expected to join in the carol Ono
OF the rules laid down by the ancient
customs was that "the ancientest master
Of the revel Is, after dinner and supper
to sing n carol. song, and to command
the othnr gentlemen present to sing with
him and the companies"

Pleasant Remembrance.

Sitting here, L find myself holding 9
levee Of departed Christmas nights. Si-
lently, into my study OF Imagination
come these apparitions, clad in snowy
mantles, brooched and gemmed with
frosts. Their numbers do not care to
count, for they are the number OF my
years. The yisa2es Of some are sad
enough; but, on the whole, It's con-
gregation Of Jolly ghosts. l hear sound
as OF light music, whisk OF womens
dresses wlirled around in dance and the
click rs Of glasses pledged by friends.
Before one apparition is mound on
which the SHOW is lying / know that
spring Of Inistletoc o, spiri: in the
midst Under it swung the girl To- !
and kissed her, too. And thou, too,
with trenclcr i'll hand; | remember thy
reigning night. Where now are the
many boys and girls that thrust their
fingers i'll thy blaze?
The kindly Christmas tree, from which
l trust every gentle reader will pull
bon. ton or two. is already sparkling with
the sweet fruits Of its season. You,
yOnpg Indies, will pitick giftlings fruits
from it, aud with the sugar-plum you
will find one Of those delicious conun-
drums, which the confectioners intro
duce into the swectmeats, and which ap-
ply to the cunning passion Of love-
There are some standing about the tree
who don't care about the love riddle part
Patience, little people dozen Christ
masses more and you will be reading
those wonderful conundrums. AS for us
older folks, We watch the young people
pulling of the branches; but we no long
er reach for the fr1iits, and for us the
Christmas lights lave mostly gone out.

Light In n Dark Plnce.

One OF our Justly celebrated writer's
declares that there never was time
when the path of man was so beset by
trials and sufferings that he could rot
find something to be thankful for.
In proof of his assertion, he to; /,
story:
Once upon time two men were to be
hanged for murder The day and tho
hour had arrived, and the condemned
were conducted out from the prison--ous
to the broad CONNER and up to the
elevated platform of the gallows, where
= the two hangman's knots depended from,
Inc nenIn overhead. They had taken
their places on the drop, and the Sheriff
was about to adjust the ropes, when .
sudden and wild commotion was manifest
IN the throng of men, women and chill
dTen that filed the common. There
were thousands of spectators--from ey
cry quarter, and from every sphere of
iife---packing closer and closer, as those
on the outside sought to get nearer to
the front, thus crowding and pushing.
when q wild bull that had broken loose
from his keeper, came tearing into the
midst of the sea OF humanity, tossing
and plunging and rearing, and creating
such terror as many there had never be-
fore dreamed Of.
The two condemned men saw, and said
one OF them to the other:
Hi! amt we fort'nit, Bill? NY eyes!
it's good for us at we amt in that Iness!"
