Kirmess.

In some portions of Germany, the
kirmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor of the dedication of a
church, is now observed with the spe.
cial character of a harvest home. It
marks the close of the years labors,
and is celebrated by three days OF
music, feasting and dancing with part
ners chosen or allotted, according to
degrees Of comeliness, at the preced-
ing May festival.
In southern Germany, the end of the
harvest is marked by the sickle Feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn, and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it.
One-half of it is then decked with rib
bons, and hung aloft while the other
half is burned. Its ashes are treas
ured as remedy for rheumatism, and
are sometimes used in making amulets
or charms. The peasants leave for
Wodan, or ."the old one," few ears OF
corn, and a small number of apples, it
being considered unlucky to strip
either field or tree entirely bare.-Lip-

That I must travel yet to you.
And oh! hunger to the bone
To get to you!

Shall gather fame about you, dear.
But they are less than nothingness
Without you, dear.
