THE WREN BUSH.
An Old Custom Sill Observed In Ire

land at Christmas.
 Among the many odd customs, still observed in Ireland at Christmas few are more curious than the practice of carrying about .the wren bush" on St. Stephens day, and antiquaries are pug zled to explain why the poor little "king of all birds should be put to death on the festival of the first mar. tyr.
 The most probable explanation is that the wren was sacred to the Druids and was used by them in divination and other pagan rites at the festival of the winter solstice. which almost coin cided with Christmas. and consequent ly the clergy urged their converts tt destroy the birds which were assoc;- ated with such unholy rites. just as St. Patrick's relentless destruction of the images of serpents. used in the ancient pagan worship of Ireland. gave rise to the legend that ha
 Gave the snakes and toads twis,
 And banished them all forever!
 This seems the more likely because .drsan." the old Irish name for ''wren." also means "a Druid" md old folk st1ll call Jenny" the Druid bard- and say that she has the gift ot prophecy and ttlai those who rnn in tsrprss her twittprinRs as she hover. about a house or dies from bush te hush ran read the future.
