THE WREN BUSH.
An Old Custom Still Observed In Ire.
land at Christmas.

lana al AnTlSundS.
Among the many odd customs still
observed in Ireland at Christmas few
are more curious than the practice of
carrying about the wren bush" Oh St
Stephens day, and antiquaries are puz-
2led 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 ut the festival OF
the winter solstice. which almost coin
cided with Christmas. and consequent
~ the clergy urged their converts to
destroy The birds which were aSSori-
atcd with such unholy rites. just as st.
Patrick'S relentless destruction of the
images OF scrpcntS. used in the ancient
pagan worship of Ireland. gave rise to
the legend that he
Gave the snakes and toads twist
And banIshed them all forever!
This seems the more likely because
dream" the old Irish name for
wren" also means "A Druid" and old
folk still cali Jenny" the Druid
bird" aud SAY that she has the gift OF
prophecy aud that those who can in

Merry Christmas

Heap on more wood! The wind is

But. let ii whistle as 1t will.
Wen keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn

The fttest time for festal cheer,
And we'll our Christian sires Of old
Loved when the year its course had
rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back
again
With all his hospitable train.

Gave honor 10 the holy night.
ON Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsrI donned her kirtle sheen:
The hall WIS dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry men go
