prospective Florida settlers. 1t

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Poor Were Not Fosgotten Tn the Days
 of I.eug Ago.

4lo Poor Were Not Forgotten Tn tl1e A'iays
 of Long Ago.
 There is an ancient custom for the rector of Fiddle Hinton, in DoTsetshire, ro -ol,ve azray on 5oIa tnrlstmas uay, the sth of January, annually, a pound of broad. q pint of ale and q mince pie to every poor person in the parish, and this distribution is regularly made by the rector to upward of 300 peer persons. At Stafford there is an old charity for nroyidine poor people with plums for tbeir Christmas buildings. aSd Q Klho hearted man at Burnham left sum sufficient to provide the inmates of the poorhouse of tho parish with 0hflsg- mas dinner, followed by proper supply of ale, tobacco and snuff.
 At Prince Risborough, in Bueklng- hamshire, there was 9 very singular Christmas usage. Up to about 18I3 a bull, a boar, q sack of wheat and sack of malt were given away to the poor py the lord of the manor ct about 0 CLOCK every Christmas morning. This practice was then discontinued, and for about five or six years beef and mutton were distributed in piaoaof the above articles Mir. Grrbb-fb namo for the dispenser of what Rittmaster Bugald Daige1ty would call the progend ''-of the par sonaae house. the then lord of the man or. whose father first stopped tho above customary distribution, produced to the ,S,s.,s.,,i.,sie,,a5e If charities q case which his father had laid bafole q 7usaoa' reI- a4ipo fo ti4ig custom, with vioF of 0es taiuine the opinion of counsel aS 10 whether it could be sustained as a GUS, fen, af common law, and whether he should be subject to legal process Ii no omitted to mako the distribution.
 If appears from tho document that tbe custom had then prevailed for a considerable number of yearsj that lt was mentioned ia the loaal bistcrles' but that its origin Has lost in obseurlfy' rbe nroctice. vhilo it lasted, seems to 1 have been productive of much intoxiea- fion and riot. The poor are said to have 1 paraaed the town during the whole | niobt preeeding tho distribution with an incessanb eIamor, effectually banlsh- inc all repose. On tho following morn ing they marched ill crowds to MT, Grnbb,s house, and these assemblies of ten comprised many strangers as well as Darisbionefs On Che doors being opened they all rushed to tho feast prepared for i them with so HttIo decoram and for bearance that often in their zeal for 1 priority they inflicted wounds on one l another with their knives. Tho whole l remaining portion Of Christmas day, 1t 1 is stated, was spent by many of them ID | the public houses, The justice before 1 whom the matter was heard was of the | opinion that this custom was not sus- tainablo as D common law right and 1 the charity commissioners reported that 1 they had received no sufficient evidence 1 that the custom could be considered as l q charitable donation the continuance l of which eonld be enforced. d.-Seleeted.

She IS my piece de resistance, and have often heard her commended, and the praise of her has sounded sweet in mine ears and goue straight to my heart, for she has become to mo as a daughter.
