FANTASTIC CELEBRATIONS.
Mysteries and MOrnlities at Christ
mas In Middle Ages.

Mysteries and MOrnlities at Christ
mas In Middle Ages.
During the middle ages Christmas
was celebrated by the gay fastastic
spectacle of dramatic mysteries and
moralities given by personages in gro
tesque masks and singular costumes.
The scenery usually represented an in
fant in u cradle surrounded by the Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph, bulls heads,
cherubs, eastern magi and many orna-
ments
Then there were the Christmas car
OILS or some which recalled the songs of
the shepherds at the Nativity. These
songs We're attended by dances to the
rhythm Of the various musical instru-
ments. Everybody joined this merry
making, and the wild music and sing
ing were kept up the livelong night.
OF these ancient Christmas carols but
few have been preserved to us. The fore
going seemed to be the custom of all
Christian nations during the middle
ages.
In Italy 1t was the custom of the
Calabrian minstrels to descend from
the mountains and discourse their wild
music before the shrine of the Virgin
Mary. In England and on the conti-
nent the bells are still rung at mid
night Among other revels of the
Christmas season We're the 80 called
feasts of fools and asses, in which ev-
erything serious was burlesqued, in
feriors dressed up as their superiors
and great men becoming playful, the
whole showing the proneness of man
to reverse the order of society and to
ridicule its decencies.
In England Christmas is n term ut
once for Il religious and merrymaking
festival for every rank and age, the
festivities commencing on Christmas
eve and lasting till Candlemas, and ev-
cry day being holiday till Twelfth
Night Uan. g.. In the houses of no.
bles lord of misrule" formerly was
appointed, whose duty it was to pro-
vide the rarest amusement and whose
rule lasted from All Hallow eve
till Candlemas. They lived ON the fat
of the land, and all of the tenants were
invited In to share the general fun and
merrymaking.-Hou Post.

Sunshine and Music.

A laugh is just like sunshine.
1t freshens all the day.
1t tips the peaks Of life with light,
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels it's courage strong
A laugh is Just like sunshine
For cheering folks along!
A laugh is just like music,
1t fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills Of life depart;
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet!
