THE HOME CIRCLE. THE LAST DRUID VICTIM.
 By. Andrew Cresley Furbush.

Solemn and still, solemn and still, We march in procession CT valley and hill
 Away to the stately Temple of woods, In 'ny.tic corclave come the Druitis. It was Wintry night, dark and threatening. with cold depths of snow over the earth, when the whole populace of Southern Gaul wended it's way through the Thuringian wood to celebrate the annual fest. al to the Pagan god, Thor. First came the sombre-Clad warriors, with Vi- king dress and mien, stern blazers of the forests; after them the hoary High Priest leading his victim, 6 pale, trembling, beautiful boy of a dozen years. Then followed the rab- ble of women and children, tear stained and trembling with fright, faltering and tagging behind till urged or pushed on by the grim-faced men who marched stolidly on as into the mouth of death.
 At last the swelling hillock vas seen from a distance, and it's great crowning oak tree lifted its mighty scared arms almost to heaven. h. stantly rose the dirge from those thousands of iron threats: Solemn and still, solemn and still,
 We march in procession OCT valley
 and hill
 Away to the stately Temple Of woods,
 In mystic conclave come the Druids.
 An altar is raised beneath the Thunder Oak" by rolling togeth er great boulders of granite and cap ping them with a marble block. This was the Temple of Thor, the Hammerer, beneath his sacred oak. Here arise tine tongues of ruddy flames, as the sacrifcial fire is lit. A solemn weirdness spreads over the forest as the grim faces of the men and the sterner outlines of the trees reflect the glariDg light.
 Hear us Hlorrida, Thou dread of the
 forest,
 Hear us, Idun, Skada of hills, Guilty and penitent we all bow before
 thee, ~..:.
 Gre :iously heal us of all our ills. Thus sang the warriorsin voices deep and .sOnorous.
 The High Priest, barring his feet,

is the living tree, with no stain of blood upon it, that shall be the sign of your new worship. See how it points to the sky. Let us call 1t the tree of the Christ-child. Take it up anG carry it to the Chieftains hall, for this is the birtu-night of the 1 White Christ. You shall go no more into the shadows of the forest to keep your feasts with secret rites of shame. You shall keep them at home with laughter and song and rites of luve."
 Once more the procession formed about the beautiful child, but no longer was it procession of sadness and dismay. Instead of weeping there was singing, and the victim ves now the Vi"tor, sitting stride the little fir tree, which the happy warriors bore upon their shoulders. The old pagan priest crept away into the woods, there to live and die hermit amid the ruins of his cruel rites.
 To the Chieftain's hall they came, and and joyful music and happy songs erected the little fir tree and trimmed it with burning tapers and every kind of tempting food and at tractve presents.
 Asulf, the little rescued boy, after an evening of pure delight over his first Christmas tree, crept to his mothers side and climbing upon her knee, whispered into her ear: Mother. listen now, for I hear those angels singing again behind the tree" Some said it was true, others that it was Prince Gregor with his companions at the lower end of the nal, softly chanting their Christmas hymn.
