The MisHetoe Legend.

The harmless and good old
Christmas custom Of kissing
under the mistletoe Is a
perennial source Of discus
sion and dispute, but have
you any idea how it original
ed? This is the story:
Balder, the Scandinavian
god Of poetry and eloquence
so says the legend-sought
immunity from the violence
of his enemies by extracting
from everything, in earth,
fire and water, a promise to
do him no hurt. Foolishly,
he forgot to obtain this as
surance from mistletoe, and
Loki, his great enemy, on
learning this induced a hire
ling to shoot Balder with an
arrow made from a bough Of
mistletoe.
Now, the other gods and
goddesscs on hearing Of the
death Of Bladder. who was a
great %fav"rite with them,
prayed that out of tho love
they bore him lie might he re-
stored to life. Thus when this
came to raSS misI!ctoc, In
stead az being an emblem OF
death. became the emblem Of
love and as such was given
to III" goddess of love to
keep and guard Willie every
one who PASSED under the
boush she held in her hand
was expected to salute her
with IL tender kiss.
