An Anglo-Saxon HOLIDAY.

The English speaking people may,
we think, properly claim Christmas
as peculiarly an Anglo-Saxon holiday.
Ii it true that it is also i festival of
the Christian church. but 1t is easily
demonstrated that a similar festival
without the religious element-was
observed by the Germanic tribes long
before the Roman legions crossed the
Alps. In fact, it would seem that
Christmas was not originated by the
church, but that the priesthood adopt
ed the feast-day, remodeling it to
serve as vehicle for religious ideas.
and turning its generous and social
spirit TO account in the service of the
church. Did you ever think that
to-day English is spoken by one hun
bred and ten millions of people, more
than speak any other language on
earth! China has two hundred and
fifty millions of people. and India one
hundred and ninety-eight, but there
are not one hundred millions in either
country who speak tongue that is
Ineligible to the rest of the popula-
ton. Where will you enjoy this holt
day this year! At home. Good; but
if you intend to visit friends, or 90 to
