A CI,ristmas Fable.

The Roots of the old sycamore tree, which
extended deep into the ground beside tht
Brook were disposed to make merry with
1T.
You have no Christmas, said the
Roots jeeringly. You may have good
time In summer when you can SEQ and
talk with the birds and trees and flowers
but in winter you are imprisoned in dark
ness under the ice. and OF Christmas you
know nothing. With us 1t is quite differ
emit. We arc part OF tho great tree, and
up above we can see the sun flashed back
by the frost and the smoke rising in great
ourls from the chlmneys and the white,
furry mantle of ermine earth is wearing,
and wo can hear the twitter of the snow
birds and the tinkle Of the sleighbells
and the shouts of happy people. Oh, 1t Is
flne outside. But you, poor Brook, in
your dark prison. you hear nothing and
see nothing and know nothing.
But the Brook only laughed. You arc
very much mistaken, +" 1t said, II you
think | have no Christmas On the con-
trary, Christmas time down here is ono OF
joy and brillianoy. II is neither dark nor
lonely beneath the ice. There is q strange
phosphorescent light which Is sometimes
wonderful, and frolie among tho stones
and crosses in winter Just as did in sum
NOR There is jolly group of aoquain-
tanoes here too. The great piokerel splash
about, and the muskrats come down out
OF their houses, and the mink dives to
drift from one haunt to another in the
bank, and tho orawfsh are rs sociable as
ever / gurglo and dance among them
and sing "a Christmas carol when the time
comes, and we are very happy.
But that is not all, :" the Brook con-
tinued You forget the airholes.
Through them look up and 500 the stars
They are far brighter TO mo than to you,
because l look at thcm with nothing
earthly In sight. All, but they are always
bright on Christmas eye They shine then
with radiance never seen at any other
time, and we gather about the airholes,
all the company Of us, and watch them
and their glory. 1t seems then as II each
star were Star OF Bethlehem, telling of
the coming of the Christ child. 1t Is won
dorful and beautiful, and We are glad DO
not toll mo that there is no Christmas be-
meath the leo !"
And the Brook gurgled by joyously.- -

Origin of GIftmakipu,

The custom OF giving Christmas pres
ents is said to have originated In Spain.
During tho revels of Christmas eve, when
the booths and bazaars were thrown wide
open, the madcap jewellers were accustomed
TO going from booth to booth, purchasing
such articles as struck their fancy, and In
tho high carnival which followed these
purchases were exchanged indisoriminate
ly. Tho opportunity thus afforded OF OK
changing secret love tokens gave rise to a
greater discrimination in the presents so
lected and ia the earliest record of Christ.
