An Anecdote of the Olden Time,

In the time of Charles | of England
a court jester was cleverly outwitted by
a nobleman, who had, according to the
custom of the day, presented the jester
with sum of money.
On New Years morning the jester
came into the presence of the nobleman,
and received, as he expected, number
Of gold pieces. He thought he had not
been given enough, so he tossed them in
his hand, muttering that they were
light. The nobleman saw this, and said,
"Prithee, Archy, let me see them again;
and, by the way, there is one of them |
would be loath to part with"
Naturally enough, perhaps, Archy
thought more coins were to be added
70 his store, so he willingly returned
them to his lordship. But the nobleman
put them into his pocket, saying, Il once
gave my money into the hands of a fool
who hadn't the wit to keep it."-Phila.

New Years Gifts.

In England the observance Of New
Years day by the bestowal of gifts dates
from the Caesars. In the Seventeenth
century it was customary for the Eng
lish nobility to send purses of gold to
the king. The reason prompting this
custom Of gifts arose from belief that 1t
was a message drawn from the first
things met with on the beginning of a
day, week or year, and of course moth
ing can be more pleasing than gift. A
rejoicing with friends at their escape
from the years dangers, Joined to mu-
tual congratulations for the future, by
presents and good wishes for the happy
continuance of good fortune, is proper
view Of life and its duties.
In olden times hospitalities were re-
newed by offerings called xenia, which
was the name bestowed upon New Years
gifts, as serving to renew friendship, one
of the greatest blessings impaired by
heaven to man; a blessing not fully ap-
preciated by the community at large at
the present moment. The Dutch had evi-
d, dy brought their good old fashioned
ideas of friendship with them when they
landed here, and they had acquired them
before quitting their native land from
pretty nearly the same sources as other
nations. Exchange.

New Years Song.

tonlN, new year,
And strew pi-.e roses for thy sisters bier!
Loves are turned cold that at her birth leaped
high.
When thou art old, thou, too, forgot, shalt lie,
With all thy golden glories faded, sere.
Come, new yearl
Sleep, dead yearl
FOR dear delights are fiown and days are drear
Sfor oh, for oh, bleak lie the fields and bare;
Woe is me-woe-w winter Is everywhere;
With eyes that see not, cars that never hear,
Sleep, dead yearl
Come, new yeari
But silently! Let fall no foolish tear
For cankering care, or grief, or Joy gone by,
since all must yield to age and change, and die.
Win past joys cherished perished, days once
dear,
Sleep, dead year
Sleep, dead yearl
Soon on springs breast your violets shall peer
Burst from earth's casket for thy pleasurng,
Purple and gold, her tender treasuring.
Hark! the FIRST robin, singing loud and clearl
Come, new year!

CUTTING THE MsTLEToe.
An Ancient Druid New Year Custom Now
Assnclafed with Chriatmaa.

An Ancient Druid New Year Custom Now
Associated with Christmas.
The mistletoe has for many years been
generally associated with the celebra-
tion Of Christmas, but in fact the cut
ting of the mistletoe was in honor Of the
New Year.
The Druids were summoned to meet
at this time by the supreme pontif. The
priests came forth from their forests and
traversed their various districts, inviting
the faithful to follow them with the cry
of kal first day of the year) or kalonna
gifts to attend the holy ceremony Of
gui (mistletoe) of the New Year.
The supreme pontiff Of the Druidical
order was, as it were, its pope. Immense
numbers of the clergy and laity were
present at the fete. The ceremony
opened with search for the famous
mistletoe upon tree Of thirty years
growth, and the mistletoe so found was
to become by its conservation the pam
cristrum or panacea for all woes.
When the mistletoe was found, a tri-
angular altar of earth was raised at the
foot of the tree on which it had been
discovered, and then commenced pro-
cession. First marched the Engali, con-
ducting two white bulls, which had
never been subjected to yoke. These
were followed by the bards, who sang
hymns in honor of the Supreme Being.
Next came the novices, students and
disciples, accompanied by herald in
white. Then followed the most ancient
pontiffs-one carrying bread that was TO
be offered up; the second two vessels
one filled with water and the other with
wine, and the third hand made Of
ivory attached to wand, symDlical
Of justice and power. Next came the
clergy, preceded by the supreme pontiff
in. white robe and wearing a girdle Of
gold, and the procession closed with the
mobiles and the people.
The cortege having arrived beneath
the tree, the officiant, after prayers,
burned a morsel of bread and poured
some wine and water on the altar and
divided what remained among the as
sistant priests. This done, he ascended
the tree and cut off with golden sickle
the mistletoe and dropped it into the
robe of one of the principal pontiffs, who
received 1t with profound reverence.
The supreme pontiff, aided by the Eu-
bagi, then immolated the two bulls and
concluded the religious ceremony by
praying, with his arms raised, that God
would permit his benediction to rest
upon the gift he was about to distribute
among the people, then PROSTATE upon
the ground.
Immediately afterward the inferior
priests distributed as gift to the
assembled multitude particles Of the
sacred mistletoe. They sent portions
also to the temple and to the chieftains,
who felt honored in receiving it, and
who, as an act of devotion and as q
talisman against harm, wore it round
their necks in time Of war.
Sickness, enchantment and malevolent
spirits were expelled by it. Nothing
evil was capable Of diminishing its
celestial power, and lightning itself
would not fall upon the house that con-
tained it.-Philadelphia Times.

Amusements,

A poor audience was seen at the Grand
last night. the attraction being The
Pulse of New York" 1t is just as well
that the masses did not turn out for the
performance is "decidedly on the bum"
there being two or three characters
worthy Of mentioning. Miss Carrie Liv-
ingSt0n, who makes her appearance as
Mrs. Denison, is not handsome, her figure
is very poor, indeed, her face is all that
could be desired to make handsome
toy made of putty and her manners are
superb, reminding one of kitchen me-
chnic, who is seeking employment hav-
ing been reared ia the country. Mr..
Walter Jones and Matte Vickers, the
leading characters, are indeed clever and
would draw largely, were they not asso-
ciated with such performers as those as
Sisting them. Master George Elliott, a
child assuming the role of Mrs Denni-
sons son is as good as has yet been
scene in the South and he will not doubt
make his mark The other characters
are not worth mentioning

A HOMELESS MOTHER.
A Sad Story Of a Lady Who is i'm
Deep TrnuDle-HappS at Last.

Last evening about 6 O'clock there
strayed into police headquarters, nice
looking but poorly dressed lady, with two
little bare footed children. She gave the
name of Mrs. V. A. Fly and said she came
from SaltillO, Miss. The careworn look
on the unfortunate woman and the hungry
appearance of the children aroused the
sympathy OF all by ISLANDERS and as soon
as her story was retailed that ever kind
and faithful officer, Capt, Hennessey,
with a few words Of cheer TO the woman,
escorted them to a restaurant, where a
good supper was spread. They then re-
turned TO the headquarters and the Cap
tain had prepared for them bed in the
city detectives office.
IL seems that about three years ago
Mrs. Fly lost her husband, who was an
industrious man, and who had provided
good living for his family. Not being
worth any money, she was left almost
pennilesS and homeless with three chill
dren, one daughter now Is years of age.
They came TO Texas and resided in
Uvalde, where the lady took sick. The
daughter provided for her mother as best
she could, and procured enough money
with which TO send her back to MissiS-
sippi.
About three months ago this daughter,
Virta Fly, arrived in San Antonio and
engaged as a servant for family on
C0ncho street, and wrote her mother to
that effect. A few dimes were saved and
last evening the mother arrived, in search
of her daughter. Not being able to OBJ
tain her address, only that she was on
Concho street, the officers. were for a
time, at loss toN know which way to
turn. Captain Hennessy sent the mount
ed officers down on COncho street and
ordered them TO make canvass Of each
house and ascertain. IL possible, the
whereabouts of the girl. Two hours
were spent in this way and the long looked
for child was found. 1t was but few
minutes when the mother and three chill
dren were together and happiness was
restored. The daughter accom- panied the
travellers to her stopping place and the
comforts of life were again enjoyed by
this poor lady, who had been on the verge
of starving for the past week.
Late this morning reporter for the
LIGHT learned that there is a mystery
connected with this affair, which could
not be solved. No information could be
received from the officers as they desire
to keep it quiet. However, it may leak
out, and If such be the case the LIGHT
will have full account.
