In the middle OF the Forest OF Dean.
England, there stands a building call
cd the Speech House. around which
grows number OF old holly trees.
They were looked upon by the folk
OF the locality with so much venera-
ton that, so recently as 1880. boughs
we're cut from item and used TO take
the place OF the Testament In swear
ing In witnesses In the adjoining
court Il is said that the ancient Brit.
ons held the tree as sacred, and plant
ed II round their villages In Cornwall.
When holly came to be coupled with
Christmas other notions prevailed. In
Rutlandshlre Il was thought unlucky
to bring II into the house before
Christmas. In the Western shlres the
branches were taken homo from the
churches which they had adorned and
kept for luck during the following
year. School boys used to make bird
lime by chewing the bark Because
the leaves OF It's lower branches are
moro splny than those OF the upper.

Merry Christmas.
ny BYRON williams

In the rush OF early morning,
When the red burns through the gray.
And tho wlntry world lies waiting
For the glory OF the day,
Then We hear n htful ruHtllnE
Just without upon the stair
See two small white phantomB coming,
Catch the CLEAN OF sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies stealing
Rows OF little socks TO hllG
Are they angels iioating hither
With their message OF good-will1
What sweet spell are these elves weaving
As like lnrks they chirp and alngI
Arc these palms or peace from heaven
That these lovely spirits bring7
Rosy feet upon the threshold.
Eager faces peeping through,
With the nrgt red ray OF sunshine.
Chanting cherubs come In Wow;
Mistletoe and cleaning holly,
symbols OF a blessed day.
In their chubby hands they carry,
Streaming all along the way.
Well we know them never weary
OF this Innocent surprise:
Waiting, Watching, listening always
With full hearts ana tender eyes.
While our little household angels.
White and golden In the sun
Greet Us with the sweet old welcome
MERRY Christmas. every onoi"

A NEW DEPARTURE.


Statesvitle Landmark.
The county board Of education Of
Guiliord has made departure. Here
tofore it has been the custom to elect
some citizen of the county superin-
tendent of schools; and this selection
has not always been made with view
to capacity or fitness, but sometimes
merely with 4 view to giving some fa-
vored individual job. Lately the
superintendent Of schools for Guilford
county resigned. The board of educa-
ton thereupon began to LOOK around
for the best man they could get for the
job, regardless Of where he lived.
Their choice has fallen upon Prof.
ThQs.>A. Sharpe, a native OF Pineyille
Mecklenburg county, now superintend-
ent Of schools at Darlington, 8. G
And 1t is said, furthermore, that the
Guilford board OF education will give
their superin tendent of schools salary
that will CON. mand tho best talent
This departure is to be commended.
1t the common schools are to be i'm
proved and made capable of educating
the people, the best talent must be
put in charge and salaries must be
paid that will command the services oi
first class men. And there is no reason
why school boards should not 60 out
side their own counties for material
when they can't find the right man al
homo. City graded school boards gel
superintendents and teachers any
where they can find suitable material
and the plan has been, for many rea.
sons, 4 successful one In graded schools
