the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: Against the feast of Christmas
every mans house, as also their parish
churches, were decked with holme,
ivie, bayes and whatsoever the season
of the year afforded to be green. The
condults and standards of the streets
were likewise garnished among the

tempest of thunder and lightning, to-

at the Leadenhall, in Cornhill, Il stand

of the pavement, fast in the ground,
nailed full of holme and iyie, for dis
port of Christmas to the people, was
torn up and cast down by the malig-
nant spirit as was thought, and the
stones of the pavement all about were
cast In the streets and into divers
houses, so that the people were sore
aghast at the great tempest. "-Leslie's

How like the rose petals on which the bee
