awhile the large, blue eyes unveiled,

THE MlSTlETOE BOUGH.
Origin of the Christmas Tree and Decora-
ton WIN Ivergreens.

ilbn " TN I-htIbItehhs
Amng the votalies of the early Druids
there Was superstition that the houses
should be decorated with evergreens in
Decembe- in order thaS the sylvan spir-
its might enter them and thus be kept
free from the blast Of the cold north
wind and the frost until a milder season
renewed the foliage Of their usual
haunts.
The Christmas tree is really from
Egypt, where the palm tree puts forth
branch every month, and where a spray
of this tree, with 2 shoots on it, was
used in Egypt at the time of the winter
solstice as symbol of the year COM
pleted.
Who loes not know the poem begin
ming
The mistletoe hung IN the castle hail.
The holly branch shone on the old oak WALTZ
Years ago over every mans door in
England hung "A sprig of mistletoe at
this season. There still hovers a mystic
charm about the mistletoe, and many
girl now, with thrill Of expectancy,
places branch of it under the chande
lltl VI bNtl tic hppis IA1NOldihS W a
former belief, when girl is caught and
kissed under the mist letoe berry must
be picked off with each kiss, and when
the berries have all been plucked the
privilege ceases.
Among the ancient Britons the mis-
tletoe that grows ON the oak tree was
the kind held in favor. Because of its
hoat c,.ia j., ,,ca1 1ff in,
church decorations, Il fact which is re-
ferred to by Washington Irving in his
Bracebridge Hail, " where he has tho
learned parson rebuke the unlearned
clerk for this very thing.
In Germany and Scandinavia the holly
or holy treo is called Christ S thorn, be-
cause it puts forth It's berries at Christ
mas time and therefore is especially
fitted for church decorations. With its
glossy, dark leaves and bright, red ber-
ries, it is an attractive decoration for
the house.
The Jews used to decorate at their
feast Of tabernacles with evergreens and
flowers.
The laurel was used at the earliest
times Of the Romans as Il decoration for
all joyful occasions aud is significant of
peace and victory
In some places it is customary to
throw branches Of laurel Oh the Christ
mas fire and watch for omens while the
leaves curl and craeble III the heat and
flame.
The evergreen tree is II symbol used
as the revival of nature, which, astro-
nomically signifies the retmn of the
sun. Hung with lights aud offerings,
tho tree has for centuries been one of
the principal characteristics Of Christ

THE UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY.
Christmas BELLS Ring Joyful Tidings to All
the Earth.

There is no holiday i'll all the long
calendar of the months that is so uni
yersally and so enthusiastically cele-
brated as Christmas. All men every
where take heart Of grace and smile
cheerier smile as the music Of the
Christmas bells falls upon their cars.
Whoever will look back To his young
days cannot help remembering what
strange. mystic time Christmas was.
There was something almost awe inspir-
ing in the music of the Christmas carols
sung at midnight in the open, frosty air.
And these Christmas 'waits" who sung,
who were they? Unseen and unknown,
we almost deemed them beings of
fairer world sent down to make Christ
