hands behind her on the knob. and her
slender body leaning forward. and her
bosom rising and falling on deep
ecstatic breaths. II was May In Call

twenty-One minutes she had been en-
gagged to be married.
She hardly knew why, after that
last farewell to Martin, she had run
no swiftly up the path, and why she
had flashed into the house. and closed
the door with such noiseless haste
There was nothing to run for! But It
was as II she feared that the Joy with.

and to hide II away, and 10 test It's

CHRISTMAS CAROL
Music and Song Always Associ-
ated With the yuIetide.
Original Sacred Character Of Carols
Was Almost Lost Sight Of In
Thirteenth Century.

m USIC and song have always beer
| YQp associated with Christmas.
In Roman Catholic countries
as early as the Third century, 1t be
came the custom to usher in the
Christmas festivities with muslca
masses.
The practice Of singing carols OF
cantcles was supposed to recall the
in Excelsis Gloria" Of the angels and
the song of the shepherds on the
first Christmas night.
A very old carol. published in 1921
gives an amusing description of church
revelries:
A wooden child In clouts on the altar sat
About the which both boys and girls do
dance and timely jet.
And carols sing in praise Of Christ.
The priests do roar aloud,
And round about the parents stand
To see the sport. and with their voice
Do help them. and with hand
At first, carols were generally re.
ligiOus In character, and were written
with Latin and English words in al,
ternate lines, or with Latin refrain
The well-knOwn carol
When Christ was born OF Mary free
In Bethlehem. that fair elite.
Angels sang with mirth and gles
In Excelsis Gloria.
and another with chorus,
Ghristus natus hodis
The babe. the son,
The holy one
OF Mary.
are good examples Of this class. Lib.
When the tendency to ibaldry be-
came marked, some Of the carols got
to be very peculiar In subject and
language. Joseph is treated with 4
great want Of respect. for one carol
runs:
Joseph was an old man,
An old man was he.
When he welded Mary,
The Maid Of Galilse.
Another relates the story Of the
shepherds watching their hocks BY
night:
A shepard upon . hill he satt.
He had on him hys tabard and hiatt.
Hys tarbox. hys pipe and hys hagatt:
Hys name was called Joly-Joly Watt.
Having been informed Of the birth
Of Christ. the shepherd sets Of for
Bethlehem. and on arriving. says:
Jhssu! Oh Thee my pype.
Ny skyrts, my tarbox and my scsyps.
Homo to my fellows now will I skyps.
And ioks unto my shsps.
In the Thirteenth century the sa-
cred character Of these Christmas
songs was almost entirely lost sight
Of. The Puritan parliament abolished
Christmas and carols altogether. but
feasting and revelry returned with the
Restoration.
Carol singing. which had fallen into
disuse, was revived BY q collection Of
carols published by D. Gilbert, in 1872.
but caroling, which was formerly
ushered In BY the Ginning Of church
bells. and the sallying forth Of cholrs
which chanted their way round vii
lages until their throats were hoarse
and their noses red from cold and
friendly Christmas potations. Is now
almost a thing Of the past.-Tt Bits.
