On the hillride beyond the shapelessly
diffused town, and the quiet keeping Of

remembrances are cut in stone, planted
in common flowers, growing in grass,
entwined with lowlv brambles around
many a mound of earth.

THE YIILE LOd..

The ancient Goths and Saxons observed
festival at the er.solistice. As it
celebrated the turning point Of the year,
or the day when the sun began its
northern journey, they named it Jul"
or "Yule." The name is supposed to
have been derived from the Gothic giul
or hiul, the origin of the word wheel, 4"
aud bearing the same Specification. The
name is preserved in the phrase of the
"Yule log" the burning of which is an
old Christmas ceremony. The Scandina-
Wan ancestors of the English used, at
their feast OF Yule. to kipdle large bonfires
in honor OF Thor. The transmitted
custom was formerly observed in England
with pomp and circumstance.
On Christmas eve, after the religious
services. huge log, sometimes a rugged
root grotesquely marked, was drawn
from the woods with mach tnerriment.
As it passed the wayfarer, he raised his
hat in honor of the venerable backlog,
which was destined to support fire
that would crackle o welcome to all
guests and burn ont ancient feuds.
Formerly the custom was for each
member of the family to sit in.turn on
the log. after it was rolled to the hearth,
sing Yule song and drink merry
Christmas. When the fire was kindled,
large Christmas candles were lighted and
the sports began. 2 The log was kept
burning till Candlemas, February 2d,
and small portion of it was carefully
preserved to light the Yule log of the
next Christmas. Herrick sets forth the
customs in the following stanzas
e. "CoTne bring with noise
My merry, merry boys,
900 The Christmas log to the firing
While my good dame she
Bids you all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring.

horse ; neither delighteth he in any
mans legs. But the Lords delight
is in them that fear him, and put
thcir trust in his mercy"
