How Times Have Changedl

how, years ago. when he and Aunt Mary

ent used to delight them.
"They were well-to-do people, too, the
Greens were; but to find one book or q
ball or shepherds pipe in his Christ
mas stocking would make father perfect
ly happy when he was boy; and his
sister thought box of sugar-plums, or
new doll, or any one pretty gimcrack,
was a Joy, indeed. Changed! well, I'd
like to know! Why, I'm told that a boy
of this day, real boy of the period,
would consider himself a much-abused
fellow If he didn't find on his Christmas

real watch, gold scarf-pin, gold cuff
buttons, a bound volume of st. Nicho-
las and twenty or thirty other books,
more or less, besides pocket-book with

work of loving friends, are those which
are most priced.
The last fact shows that present-giv-
ing at stated seasons is matter Of
sentiment, and it also shows that the
more it is that, and the less it is mat
ter Of gain, the more pleasing it is to
us. Accordingly it is not that part Of
present-giving which is due to the great.
or National and individual wealth, but
that which comes from the sentimental
willingness to work for others, and to
make an outward expression of the
goodwill which is not doubted, that is
worth noting and praising.
This laudable tendency of Americans
at the present day shows itself also in
the fashion of card-sending. Many a
miss still at school can remember the
time when the practice of sending holt
day cards was almost unknown.
Nowadays everybody sends cards,
and holidays are almost invented for
the purpose of affording an excuse for
the cards. The artists and the publish
ers vie with each other in producing
pretty and elegant designs. Christmas,
New Years Day and Easter cards are
published and sold by the million. The
mails are loaded with them.
All this is very pleasant, indeed. Let
the gruff and old-iashioned sneer at the
folly and the hollowness, as they deem
it, of making presents which are ex-
pected, and of wishing Merry Christ.
mas by sending q chrome.
Most of what is pleasant and agreea-
BILE in our association with others comes
from the observance of certain formali-
ties. When you bid your neighbor
"good-morning," what do you mean
by itP Certainly not to give him any in
formation. You say it as matter Of
formal courtesy. 1t means that, and
nOtAing more.
But who would abolish the morning
greeting, the gentleman's hand-shake,
the baby's kiss, that raising of the hat
to all lady acquaintance and to all
men acquaintance who are accom-
panied by ladies, and the other formal
courtesies of life?
An excess of sentiment and an over
doing of the outward expression Of feel
ing are possible. But americans have
q long road to travel before they are
in danger of failing on that side. 1t
will be for our great-grandchildren to
preach from the text-less sentiment

MlstletOe at Christmas Tide.

The hanging of the mistletoe is the
cause of much frOlic and laughterin the
house. 1t is the rule that whoever is
passing under the mistletoe- Dough must
submit to being kissed then and there
by whatsoever chooses TO take that lib
srty. AS bough usually hangs from
the center of the ceiling, spreading over
a large space, it follows that there must
be much lodging or mech kissing; |
am inclined TO think there are both.
The origin of this use of the mistletoe
is not known; but we do know that
more than eighteen hundred years ago,
when the glad stars sang together over
the manger in Bethlehem, and when
wise men brought gifts OF gold, frank
incense and myrrh to young Child in
the peasant mothers arms, England
was a chill, mist-cOvered island, inhab-
tied only by savages, who wore gar
ments of skins and lived in huts of mud
and stones. Among these savage Brit
ons there were pagan priests called
Druids. These priests were mysteri-
Gus folk, who lived in dense woods far
away from other men. and who, in the
gloomy soltudes of the forest, performed
strange secret ceremonies. The ''sacred
groves" as they were called, were of
oak; for the oak was a divine tree, ac-
cording to the Drudical religion. With
in these sacred groves the priests, it is
recorded in history, offered their sacri-
fees, and in some manner now not
known they employed the mistletoe.
But all mistletoe was not sacred to the
Druids. They would have none but
that which chung to the trunk and was
nourlshed by the sap Of the divine oak.
To them the apple-tree mistletoe, which
modern England uses so freely in her
holiday festivities. would be worthless
and common thing.
When in later centuries England was
taught the Christian religion by priests
who went thither from Rome, the peo-
pie, though protesting beliefin Christ,
retained many of their heather rites and
customs changed from their original
meaning and purpose. At any rate,
from the Druids has come the modern
usage of the mistletoe-bough. strangely
preserved in festivities which commem-
crate the birth Of Him whose pure wor-
ship destroys all heather superslitions.

things, and no little child will appeal

There should be no children's tears

hope for charity for ourselves, let us be-
generous to the helplessness which is a
type of our own helplessness in the
eyes of the Power to which we pray.
