Yet no two nights ever bore more than one family resemblance to each other before the studions and instructed eye of him who has long communed with nature and is familiar with every smile and frown on her changeful, but not capricious. countenance.

Was there ever wider or more lov- ing conspiracy than that which keeps the venerable figure of Santa Claus from slipping away, with all the other old time myths. into the forsaken won derland of the past? Of all the per sonages whose marvellous doings once filled the minds of men he alone sur wives
 He has outlived all the great gods, and all the impressive and poetic conceptions which once fitted between heaven and earth-these have gone but Santa Claus remains by virtue of a common understanding that child hood shall not be despoiled of one of it's most cherished beliefs, either by the mythologist, with his sun myth theory, or the scientist. with his heart less dlatrihe against superstition.
 There is a good deal more to be said on this subject if this were the place to say it. Even superstition has its uses and sometimes it's sound heart oi truth He who does hot see in the legend of Santa Claus a beautiful faitt on one side and the naive embodiment of a divine fact=on the other is not fl to have T place at the Christmas board For him there should be nei ther carol nor holly nor mistletoe They only shall keep the feast tt whom all these things are but the out ward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual generalization Wrigh Mabie

A Quaint Christmas
 Custom

Blowing in the Yule from the grim old tower that had stood 800 years against the blasts of the North sea was one of the customs of the old town that abide, however 1t fares with the Nisse; that 1 know. At sun-up, while yet the people were at breakfast. the town band climbed the many steep ladders 10 the top of the tower, and up there. ill fair weather or foul-and sometimes it tlew great guns from the wintry sea-they played four old hymns, one to each corner of the com pass, so that no one was forgotten. They always began with Luther's stur- dy challenge, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" while down below we lis tened devoutly.
 There was something both weird and beautiful about those faraway strains in the early morning light of the north. ern winter, something that was not of earth, and that suggested 10 my child's imagination the angels songs on far Judean hills. Even now, after all these years, the memory of 1t does that. It cOulU not nave been because tue IuuSlc was SD rare. for the band was made up of small storekeepers and artisans who thus turned m honest penny on festive occasions lncongruously enough, l think. the official town mourner. who bade people to funerals, was one of them. It was like the burghers' guard, the colonel of which-we thought him at least general, because of the huge brass sword he trailed when he march ed at the head of his men-was the town tailor. very small but very mar tial man But whether or no, it was beautiful have never heard music since that so moved me. When the last strain died away came the big bells with their eeep voices that sang far out over fiel and heath, and our Yule was fairly under way.-Jacob A. Riis. in Century.
