slaves in our southern states, down to the
close of the war, enjoyed this privilege.
Throughout the Roman empire slaves
went about bareheaded, except on the
three great days of the Saturnalia, WheH
all were permitted to wear the cap OF
familiar shape, which still figures as the
liberty cap, upon the tops of liberty poles.
On those days the slaves are supposed to
have been allowed to say anything they
chose to their masters Probably, how
ever, they used this liberty with discre-
ton. :.
The first Christian congregations in
Italy were largely composed OF slaves anu
of the common people, though among
them were found educated and highly
gifted persons. The early Christian teach
ers had the greatest difficulty to keep
their converts from joining in the pagan
festivals, to which they had been accus'
toned, and which were even needtul to
ameliorate their hard lot and monotonous
life
When the Saturnalia came round, the
Christian slave or freedman found him
self struggling between the habits OF ms
old life and the claims of his new faith.
If he withstood the DID, he missed the
only holiday which would be his dur.
ing twelve months of labor. If
he yielded, his religious life might be
injured by contact with idolatrous rites.
It is not strange, therefore. that Chris
tan pastors, seeing the strife of habit
with conscience, should seek for the golden
mean between license and prohibition.
They acted upon the principle that though
there must be unity in essentials, there
should be liberty in non-essentials, and
love in all things. They took what was
good in the Roman holidays and associ-
ated it with the birthday festival of Him
who came to bring peace on earth and
goodwill to men.

80, The MistIetoe Bought"


"fvy," says q learned professor "was
sacred to Bacchus, and was used at the
Dionysian love feast Another name for
Bacchus was Kisses, which also is the
ivy, but whether our custom of kissing
under the mistletoe is relic of Kisses
and the Agape-doesn't matter in the
least.
"Bird-lime, it is significant to observe,
is made from the berries of the mistletoe,
whence the same words signifies in Greek
both mistletoe and bird-lime. How many
luckless human bird has been lined
under the mistletoe at Christmas, Some
authorities refer the kissing custom to o
theory that the mistletoe was the forbidden
tree in Eden. The plant was also used in
religious ceremonies by the Persian Magi.
sThe stately ancestral homes in Eng
land are now being richly decorated with
holly, and ivy and amber berried mistle-
toe, and the hearts of the female inmates,
from the fresh faced house. maid to the
languid Lady Jane, are beating faster as
they hang the parasite in the most con-
venient hooks and corners in which they
will take good care to be caught on
Christmas Day 1t is good custom
may it flourish! And may the time be long
distant when there shall no longer be one
day in the year on which man may kiss
the girl he likes, sans peur ct sans re-

st. Nicholas Eve.
Boston Globe.]


In many parts of Switzerland, Germany
and the Netherlands st. Nicholas still dis
tributes his presents on ST. Nicholas Eve
the 9Th of December-instead of Christ,
mas Eve. In the Netherlands he is espec-
tally popular, and is, perhaps, the only
saint who has maintained his full credit,
even among Protestants. Dec. 6 is the
day to which the Dutch, both old and
young, look forward with greatest ex-
pectancy, and from which they date the
minor events of the year.
st. Nicholas now comes to the front
His episcopal form greets ones eyes every
wherein the shop window, on the street,
in the homeland his name greets the ear
from 10, 900 mellifuous Dutch tongues
The thoroughfares are crowded, shop
keepers are busy and happy. Bakers are
taxed to the utmost Great vans thunder
through the streets, laden with gilt bun
dies and boxes of every shape and size
The official 'criers, who are licensed by
the authorities to perform errands, ac-
company unprotected females to their
homes or other places of destination, a
highly trusted and useful body, in peculiar
costumes are fitting hither and thither as
messengers of st. Nicholas It is time
for the universal giving and receiving Of
presents, in which the children deservedly
have the lions share. The gifts are
anonymous, and of every imaginable kind.

Little Harry and the Widow.

haunt Mariah" IN Philadepha CauI
Little Harry was q real good little boy.
and his brothers, Tom and George, were
also good boys, only they were very
thoughtless. One day, while passing the
cottage of poor widow, Tom and George
began throwing stones at her cat Little
Harry reminded them that this was very,
very wrong, and they stopped throwing
stones at the cat and went home.
Then little Harry went into the poor
widows cottage to ask If there was any.
thing he could do for her. The poor
widow was very much pleased to see such
nice little boy, and told him he looked
like her little brother in Chicago. Then
Harry looked out the back door, and
seeing big pile of wood, he asked her If
he should not cut it for her. She said
"Yes, and Harry got saw and sawed it
all up The widow thanked him kindly
and said she hoped he would get his stock
ings full of nice things on Christmas.
She said she always hung up her stockings
on Christmas, but no one put anything IN
it any more.
When Harry went home he told his
mamma all about it, and his mamma said
he was good little boy, and his two
brothers, who did not try to Go any good
in the world, were very naughty. This
made Tom and George feel very bad, and
they determined that they would be good
little boys, too. So they went to the Chi
cago widow and asked her to please hang
her stocking on the outside of the house
on Christmas Eve She promised she
would, and when Christmas Eve came
Tom and George went around like good
little boys and shoveled ton OF coal

A German Myth.
70. NJ. Spencer in Harper's Magazine.

o. NJ. Spencer IN HarperS Magazlne.I
Before Christmas was instituted, the
Germans celebrated the Twelve Nights,
commencing with Dec. 25th 1t was q
thoroughly Pagan festival, and the most
important of any they observed. The &C.
tive forces of nature were to them living
personifications, some benevolently IN
clined towards man and others maliciously
disposed They symbolized this endless
strife of natural forces as the battle Of
gods and giants.
In their mythology Winter was the SOM
Der ice giant, he contends with Spring;
the North Wind with the South Wind.
The battle RACES until Thor, the god of
the thunder storm, destroys the castle OF
the ice giant and releases Freija, the beau
tiful goddess of spring She then rules
instead of Winter, and her liberation is the
signal for the return of lighl and life and
prosperity After time Thrym. the
prince of the giants, robs Thor, while he
Sleeps, of his terrible hammer, aud buries
it eli ght leagues under the earth While
it is lost Winter reigns undisturbed.
After a search of eight months Thor re-
gains the hammer and, accompanied by
1oki, the spring wind, drives Winter
back to the far north. The 25th day of
December, although in the dead of winter,
was celebrated as the time of the return
of the sun

The Prosaic Side.
IL. K.'Lippincott in The Curren

IL. H. .Llpplncott In Inc CURRENT
We need not write poems on snow, for
snow is itself poem. Yet has snow, so
lustrous and typical, a side most prosaic
and disciplinary. What says pinchesd
poverty about snow? What is the feel
ing of the shoeless child? What the SEN
sations of those who huddle together in
houses where the roof is frail and the CRATE
is bare? Are you, eager readers, mere
contemplatists, gazing dreamily on the
infinite whiteness, and thinking of a land
unspotted and unsullied, yea, the very
heaven of pureness? Better turn the
water of contemplation into the wine of
charity, and the dream of heaven into the
service of earth. No cold snow should
choke up the outlets of the human heart.
As the snow comes to warm the earth, SO
all the appeals of winter should warm the
human heart into fuller sympathy with
human ill and need. Ask 100 children to
breakfast this Christmas; or 100 cripples
to dinner; or 100 blind people to an even
ing's hospitality. You can have merry
Christmas if you like.

The Puritan's DenunciatiOn.

lCQaTleS DuQloJ " Ahoi.J
In the Puritan view these festivities of
Christmas had become wholly pagan, or,
what was worse, popish and it was in the
tide of such fervid fanaticism as that of
Prynne and Studies that the innocent
gayeties as well as the excuses OF the time
were swept away, and swept away so COM
pletely that it was centuries before many
descendants of the Puritans could look
upon any celebration of Christmas as
otherwise than sinful.
Into what stupendous height of more
than pagan impiety," exclaims Prynne,
whose rhetoric is his only amusing point,
shave we not now degenerated!" 1--WE
can not sanctify Lords day, observe a
9Th of November, or any other day of
publicke thanksgiving to our gracious
God, or yet celebrate an Easter, a Pente-
cost, or such like solemn feasts (much less
a Christmas. as we phrase it in plausible
pious sort las too many paganizing Chris
tians now conceit) without drinking roar
ing, healthing, dicing, carding, dancing,
Mosques, and stage-p plays. How doe
we Christians spend or celebrate for the
most part the Nativity of our Saviour but
with such heathenish sports as these,
which Turkes and Infdels would abhor
to practice?"
Morris tribune., 1884-12-24
Silent Christmascs.

GHezekiah Butterworth in Wide Awake.l
The first "Still Christmas" in Eng
land occurred in 1926. Henry VIII
was king, and he had not yet forfeited the
respect of his bjects; but great political
events were at hand
In December the king was sick. The
nation was filled with anxiety. 1t was
decided that the Christmas should be a
silent one; there was no carols, bells or
merry markings.
Silent Christmases were proclaimed in
the protectorate of Cromwell. The fes-
tival was altogether abolished, and the
display of the emblems of the Nativity
was held to be seditious The change was
most notable in London There was ST.
lence on the Strand The church bells
were still. st. Paul lifted its white roofs
over the Thames, and Westminster abbey
its towers, but the tides of happy people
in holiday attire no more poured in and
out of those ancient fanes. The holly and
ivy no more appeared in the windows OF
the rich and the poor The 1ule tires
were not kindled, nor the carols sung.
Bells indeed rung out on the frosty air,
but how different from the chimes of old!
They were the hand bells of the heralds in
simple garb passing from street to street
and shifting the air and crying out
mo Christmas! No Christmas!"
Heads filled the windows and figures the
doors Crowds stopped on the corners of
the streets and in the squares. The CRY
went on:
mo Christmas! No Christmas!"
It smote the hearts of those who loved
the old ways and customs.

Frank I. Jervi5 IN The Currentl
"Merrie Chrstmas" Is there not some
mistake in the nomenclature? 1t is kindly
Christmas, perhaps happy Christmas, but
merry-No! 1t is a time when children,
and grandchildren, and the grandfathers,
and grandmothers meet together; when
old memories are revived, old scenes re-
called, the hidden household gods brought
forth; when hands which have never
been clasped for long, long period,
lie EMBODIED in each other, marveling how
they came to be separated. But it is moi
a merry season. 1t makes man mediate
on how many Christmas Days he has seen
how many more he is likely to see.
Nonsense man; look at the children, the
bright eyed, rosy-faced children. like rays
of Gods blessed sunshine pouring through
the house. Hear them laugh. see them
loaded down with toys, the whole world
of life before them, mo- regrets behind;
every breath they draw a pleasure, every
thought they think delight. Is not this
to be merry? If it be not, then there is
no merriment on earth. How could / be
so recreaqt as to try and fitch from Christ.

The Poor Babies.

Said the Shade of Christmas, with a
world of tenderness in his voice. and a
suspicious damp spot in the corner of one
eye: poor babies! Why are things so
unequal3 Why is it some of them get
everything they want and more than they
ought to have, while these little half-clad,
sad-eyed creatures never in their lives get
a thing that is bright and wholesome and
glad? If I could only have my own way
once-just once-Id see that their puny
bodies were warm inside and out, with
turkey and pudding for a lining,
and books and toys, and games
and all sorts of things from Fairyland to
make them glad for whole. year. It
takes so little to make poor boy or girl
happy, and there are so many thousands
and thousands of them-and there are so
few people to help me.
