Their Use for DECORATE & ut Christmas
Time-The Christmas Tree.
The use of the Christmas tree with
its fruit of presents, is recent in En-.
gland, and was introduced from Ger.
many few years ago, There is great
dispute about its origin, whether in
India, or whether it does not represent
the tree Yggdrasil, or world trce-the
a,h tree of existence Of Scandinavian
mythology. But the use of evergreens
in England is "a old o; the DAYS when
the Druids brought the mistleloe from
the woods with solemn ceremony. In
stowe time every man y house, and
also the parish churches. were decked
with holm, ivy, bays, and whatever the
season of the year afforded to be green,
and the conduits and standards in the
streets Ga hint for the present telegraph
cOmpanies) were likew Sc garnished. In
the year 1444 he says there was on the
LIST of February a great tempest OF
thunder and lightning, which set Paul's
steeple on fire; and at Leadenhall, in
Cornhill, q standard of wood which was
set up in the pavement and nailed full
of holm and ivy was torn up and cast
down by the malignant spirit Gas was
thought). On Christmas eve, at the
time the Yule-log was brought in and
lighted with the last years brand, it was
customary to decorate the windows OF
every house, in cottage and hall, with
bay, laurel, ivy and holly leaves. Au
English gypsy told Mr.. Charles G. Lee
land the reason for using evergreens on
Christmas. 1t is this: The ivy and
holly and pine tree never told word
where our Saviour was hiding Himself,
and so they keep alive all winter, and
look green all the year. But the ash,
like the oak, told of Him when He was
hiding, so they have to remain dead
through the winter. And so we gypsies
always burn an ash fire every Great
Day. "-CharleS Dudley Worner, ~ Har-

The Curious Patients He Had to Deal
With, and How He Managed Them.
As my patients became numerous and
pestered me at all hours, l fitted up a
spare tent to serve as my dispensary,
and gave out that received at the time
OF afternoon prayer faSsr,) l took my
seat at the door of my tent, and soon
had crowd around me, many suffering
from real diseases, many from imagi-
nary ones, and many bringing for my
inspection the effects of diseases, such
as paIsied limbs and stiff joints. A
young man was the first who presented
himself, most yociferous to see the
h1tcen1. He entered my tent and de-
sired private interview "EShtareed,
what do you want?" / asked. "Y0

precious bread pill, which he tied up in
the corner of his sleeve, he called down
blessings on my head. An old woman
next came forward, and taking hold of
the corner of my cloak she kissed it, and
then kneeling before me began in very
wheedling manner to call my attention
to her case. She went on to describe
the most anomalous symptoms, affecting
her eyes, ears, limbs, and sometimes
every part of her. On further inquiry
she confessed to be quite well at that
moment, but year ago having had
these strange complaints, she dreaded
the same thing would invade her this
year. | then promised to give her strong
medicine, but ordered the crowd to

How She Was Met.

A gentlemanly merchant traveller on
a train met a lady and politely rendered
her such assistance that she reciprocated
by permitting him to talk to her. He
became quite friendly, and desired to
know where she lived. and who she was.
80, she replied, I'm only an ordi-
nary little woman, but my friends per-
sist in trying to make me somebody"
"Ah," was the gallant answer, II am
sure they act quite wisely and in good
taste"
you flatter me, sir, and yet l have
no doubt band will meet me at the
station when arrive in Cincinnati"
'Indeed?' he replied, in open-eyed
astonishment.
Eyes, and the same band is always
ready to meet me. Isn't that 1latter-
ing?'
VERY, my dear miss; but may I ask
what band it is that is always so hon
ored?"
80, yes, certainly; it is hus- band"

HE WOULDN'T SPEAK.
A Youth on Whom the Young Ladies' at q
Dime Supper Wasted Their Labor.

A Youth on Whom the Young Ladies' at q
Dime supper Wasted Their Labor.
They had dime supper in the neigh
borhood of Pawtucket, conceived and
carried out by the ladies'. The condi-
tons of this novel supper were these:
For every word spoken by the gentle
men at the supper-table a forfeit of ten
cents was imposed; but, on the other
hand Gas duties are always compensated
with rights and restrictions with priv
ileges,) it was agreed that whoever
could weather the whole supper, sub
hitting to all queries, surprises and
ingenious questions without replying,
should be entitled to it gratuitously.
Many and frequent were the articles
and subterfuges resorted to by the ladies
in attendance to entrap the unguayded,
and one after another stout and discreet
men went down before the constant
volley of artful interrogatious. At last
all fell ont and paid the dime penalty
save one individual, queer chap whom
nobody seemed to know. He attended
strictly to business, and passed UNDECIDED
the jokes, gibes and challenges. They
quiZzcd him, but all in vain. He
wrestled with turkey and grappled with
the goose. He bailed out the cranberry
sauce with an answering hand, and he
ate celery as the scriptural vegetarian
ate grasses; and, finally, when he had
finished his fifth piece Of pie, he whipped
out pocket-slate and wrote on it in
large and lcgiblo hand: Il am deaf
and dumb. --ProvidCn,c Jouynnl

LYING.

The Many Ways of Saying What Ia No,
True-HOw a Lie Grows.
OF course none of my children evel
stoop so low as to tell an out and ou
lie. 1t is only towards and unprinci
Piled people who do. But there are
other ways of saying what isn't so thar
an out and out lie With the tongue
Some children tell lie without ever
opening their lips. For instance, nam.
ma goes into the pantry and finds the
cake nibbled she says to Mary, the cook
in the presence of Charlie, the one who
is the culprit, there must be moust
in the pantry, the cake is nibbled.
Charlie laughs in his sleeve and goes
out whstling, thinking that he coulC
catch the mouse for them if he wanted
to. Now, Charlie has told lie Just az
much as though mamma had asked him
n direct question and he had denied it.
Then there is what is called pre-.
varication, which is an evasion of the
truth, lodging of the question with
intent to give wrong impression by
leading off in another direction
EquiyocatIon is another form of false,
hood, by using words of double mean.
ing, which can be claimed as truth al.
though they are meant to deceive.
Then there is white lie, half-and,
half truth, and something which I'm
afraid a good many children are giver
to speaking, and, my dears, this may
be the very worst kind of lie, for q
right up and down lie can be met and
killed, but a white lie is not so easily
dealt with, and often leads to great
deal of trouble As you grow older,
dears, you will understand better the
lying that | have called preyaricaton
and equivocation; but now you car
all be truthful both in word and act.
Always stick closely to the truth, never
mind if it does place you in disgrace; il
you have done q naughty thing own il
up and take the consequences bravely,
determining never to do the wrong act
again, but never be coward enough to
deny it, Always speak the truth and
every one will honor and respect you.
You know the good book says; "A liaI
is an abomination to the Lord. >
Grandma hasn't time to say all she
would like on this subject but here is
something that will tell you how lie
