These letters were dated at "Tht

stroyed there was nothing TO indicate
the town, state or land. One read as
follows, and, curiously enough, it was
dated Christmas eve, n year before;
'MY DARLING BoY-I think of you at

The letter continued at length in this
vein, and it ended, with love and
kisses and blessings from Mother"

"The Elms' on Christmas eve, just year
before. / cannot pretend to quote it in

Early Christmas Carols.

Christmas carols have been sung ever
since the rude tribes of Germany were
converted to Christianity. There are
books by the score containing hund reds
of them. Bishop Taylor observes that
the "Gloria in Excelsis," the well known
hymn sung by the angels to the shep-
herds at our Lords Nativity, was the
earliest Christmas carol. Bourne cites
Durandus to prove that in earlier ages
of the church the bishops were accus-
toned ON Christmas day to sing carols
among their clergy. The original Of the
Anglo-Norman carol TRANSLATED by
Douce) of the date Thirteenth century
is in the British museum. 1t begins:
Now, Lordings, listen TO our ditty,
Strangers coming from afar;
Let poor Ministries move your pity,
Give us welcome, soothe our care.
In 1921, Wynkyn de Warde printed n
set Of Christmas carols. One of them was
"a Carol bryngyng in the Bore's Head"
CHANGER alludes to it in his "Franklein's
Tale:"
James sitteth by the fire with double berd,
And he drinketh OF his bugle-horne the wine
Before him standeth the braune Of the tusked
swine

Mime. Barthoidi.

The late Nine Bartholdi was no ordi-
nary person. and ON her ninetieth birth
day she looked so full of life and beamed
80 with mental vigor and heartiness that
. | wonder she did not live to hundred.
She was left widow early, and devoted
herself to the education of her sons and
the stewardship of their paternal prop
critics, which under her management
were increased to fortunes. Though SO
well endowed with the money making
faculty, she was person of generous
disposition and given to hospitality.
In youth she was reputed the hand
soonest girl in Alsace. AS an old woman
she was more than handsome. The pure
outlines remained, and the fire of the
kindest, quickest and most lambert pair
of eyes imaginable was never quenched
SO long as life remained. The son must
have had her in his head, as he remem-
bered her in her younger days, when he
was sketching the design of the statue
of Liberty Enlightening the World
1t was her idea that Liberty should not
be en- pate de guimauve, but of grave
and severe aspect. Liberty was the beet
of all conditions, she used to say, for
those who were severe upon themselves,
and the worst for the self indulgent.
One never saw trace of self righteous
harshness in the old lady. She was very
indulgent toward the erring; but that
grace, she said, came with the wide ex-
perience of old age. 1t was a source OF
enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle OF
Swans, in the Seine. and look at the re-
duced copy which was set up there few
years ago of the famous statue which
now stands at the entrance of New York
harbor. One of her sayings was, do
not repress badness; crowd it out with
good ideas. London Truth.

forward to spending the Christmas holt
days in the beautiful town of San Ber-
nardino, OH the other side of the Sierras.
On the 23d the wagons, pack mules
and all the men, excepting three who
remained back to complete some work
with myself crossed the range that
separates the Mojave pronounced Mo
hav-ee) desert from the Towering and
fruitful paradise of southern California.
For six weeks we had been working
in the desert. running lines, taking
elevations and plotting our work at
night by the smoky light Of dried
creosote and sapless sage brush. At
times we were sixty miles froin the
nearest water, and when obtained the
water was alkaline Many of our pack
mules, maddened by thirst, broke their
ropes and wandered further into the
desert to die
Hard tack and bacon, and not too
much Of that, had been the only food of
the men since we entered the desert,
and so the most cheerful became grum,
and the skin of the youngest grew dry
and parched as that Of mummy.
We did our work in silence; even the
officers came to speak in whispers, for
our throats were dry and our lips
cracked. Everything with moisture in
it parched as if in furnace.
The alkali on the level expanses looked
like dazzling snow. The fantastic hills
and mesas were crumbling and burning
up in the forceful and persistent fires Of
oxidation. And amid all this the mirage
would appear to mock us with lakes and
streams in which were reflected the
spires, domes and minarets of grand
oriental cities, such as might have been
built by the genii Of architecture.
1t was half past in the afternoon,
and we hoped to reach the pass by dark,
where fresh horses would carry us to the
town before midnight and Christmas
day.
AS our horses staggered on, we saw
three vultures rising from dark object
little to the right. A glance through
my field glass revealed the outlines Of
PROSTATE man and horse, stretched out
side by side.
Years of this wild life had accustomed
us to such sights. Yet as our hearts
were full of thoughts of the joyous
Christmas days of the past and Of the
rest, fresh food and water for bathing,
which we were to enjoy on the morrow,
there was something inexpressibly sad
in the presence OF death at such II time
and at the foot Of the purple mountains.
beyond which lay Eden.
We refined in our thin, painting horses
and dismounted. In that atmosphere no
organic substance decays-it shrivels up

OLD TIME RHYMES.

Some Quaint Christmas Verses of other
| Days.
1t was Thomas Tusser who, nearly
three and a half centuries ago, advised
all people to at
Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once year,
in his quaint book, entitled Give Hun
drede Pointes of Good Husbandrie,"
but it was previous to this that there
had been issued a mock play called
Alexander and the King OF Egypt" the
conclusion of which is given in Rays
collection of Proverbs" as follows:
Bounce Buckram, velvets dear,
Christmas comes but once a year;
And when 1t comes it brings good cheer,
But when it's gone, it's never the near.
lNote-Bounce Buckram Is equivalent TO
throw away your old clothes."l
Again, in n rare tract published in
1868, are the lines:
Let's dance and sing and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once year
Herriek, in his ''Hesperides," treats;
OF Christmas sports the WasseIl Boule
That tost up, after Fox-r- TIL hole;
or Bltnd-man buffe, and of the care
That young men have to shooe the Mare;
Husbands and wives by streakes to chuse;
OF cracking laurell, which fore-sounds
plenteous harvest to your grounds.
Awriter i'll The Gentleman's Magazine
Tor May, 1884, tells us that 'tthe drink
ing the Wassail bowl or cup was, in all
probability, owing to keeping Christmas
in the same manner they had before the
Feast of Yule. There was nothing the
northern nations so much delighted in
as carousing ale, especially at this sea-
son, when fighting was over. 1t was
likewise their custom at all their feasts
for the master of the house to fill large
bowl or pitcher, to drink out of it first
himself, and then give to him that sat
next, and so it went around"
In Poor Robins Almanac for 1877, in
the beginning of December, he observes:
Now blocks to cleave this time requires
'Gainst Christmas for to make good fires
which salutary advice is still to be heed
ed in northern ATTITUDES.
The Yule log figures largely in all the
poetry of the Thirteenth. Fourteenth and
Fifteenth centuries, and of this Herrick
says:
Come, bring with noise,
My merry, merrie boys.
TheIhristmas Log to the firing,
While my good Dame, she
Bids ye all DO free
And drink to your hearts desiring:
with the last years Brand
Light the new Block" and
For good success in his spending.
On your psalteries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the Log Is attending
Drink now the strong Deere.
Cut the white loafe here
Tho while the meat is a-shreddlng;
For the rare mince pie
Aud the plums stand by
To fill the paste that's a-kneading

the east followed the star to Bethlehem
and the manger in which lay the Christ
child. Lights flashed through the groves,
indicating the happy abodes of settlers,
and now and then we heard a song that
told of home, and the musical laughter
of children whose special eve it was.
We found the hotel ablaze with light.
