BY MRS. A. D. MACLEOD. Hail Christmas! beacon ever bright, Athwart the way-worn years ; Full lustred of celestial light, Thy white-robed awn appears. B'est season when our mueh-loved band Around one altar meet ; When voices from the spirit land Our longiag spirits greet.

In tender memories arise Sunlit, the days of old, When roseate vistas oped the skies, Aud streaked earth’s grey with gold. Beneath a lofty castle dome Three fair young dreamers smile ; And fraught of love, the light of home Che flicting hours beguile.

Chey wander by the river sie, They cull the sweet wild flowers ;

Not to pass the time does he beat the dram or build the castle of blocks ; but to satisfy his yowrg passion ‘or doing. Wiat im- aginations children have ! And Christmas time brings + new store of equip ments to plume their flyht again. But the world gets prosaic to the

dren of a larger growth, aa all overgrown childre rk prosals lt ts a seene of worry

and strife, of competition and over-reach- ing, of struggle with sickness and hard conditions, and the zest of victorious youth gives way to the sober activities and the patience of manhood. It is hard sometimes to believe that this is, indeed, the same world that once throbbed to the great hope of the promise of the firat Christmas Day.

Yet though our day be not cloudless, we scarce know from what « night of darkness our race has already emerged ; and the sun is yet mounting. Itisforus to learn to spread what happiness we can ; to keep childhood bright; to cherish the altar-fires of home; and in our dealings with the

** With gent'e deeds and loving thoughts,

And Joring words withal, Welcome the merry Christmas in

And hear a mother’s call.” It is hard to write or say anything new «beut Christmas. It comes to us year after year bringing with it joy and g adness, and often recouciliation to severed friends Good nature and Christian charity prevail more than at any other season; but, alas, I fear there are many who hold the senti- ments expressed in the verse I have just quoted, but who allow this happy season to pass without dving all that they can to make others happy. Ln northera Russia a very pretty custom isobservel. On Euster Day every Russian considers it his duty before attending church to seek out every person with whom he may have quarrelled iuring the year and revew the interrupted friendship. i have often thought it a pity some such custom dves not prevail in our own country. There is nothing lost by being as gentle and forgiving as littie chii- dren, if only once a year. Charles Dickens has said, very prettily: ‘It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder wasa child Himself.” And to any one familiar with his Christmas stories it is evident that this was the spirit which ani- mated the charming novelist. as he wrote them. To many people—to all, I wish I could say—the season is one of happiness. For nearly nineteen hundred years the Festival has come and gone, and still, for Christian people, it loses none of its joy and beauty. The reason, I think, is not hard to find, It is as Adeaide Proctor truly says:

" The star that shines in Bethlehem

Shines still and shall not cease; And we listen still to the tidings

Of glory aud of peace.”

Aiter all I know of no better or more graphic description of the festivities of Christmas Eye than that by Sir Walter Scott: : ‘*Q« Christmas Eve the bells were rung; On Christmas Eve the Mass was sung; That only night, in all the year,

And ceremony doffed his pride.

In England during the Commonwealth, determined attempts were several times inade by the Puritans to suppress not only the observance of Curistimas Day, but the innocent sports which accompanied it. | iind that in the year 1647 the Cromwell party ordered throughout the principal towns and cities of the country, by the common crier, that Christmas Day should be no longer ob-erved—it being a super- stitious and hurttul custom-—and in place thereof, to work a change, markets should be held on the 25th day of December. The Holly and the Mistletoe were to be cut up root and branch as plants of the evil one. Cakes and ale were held to be impious liba- tions to superstition ; and the Roundheads would have none of it. This was attacking the people in their most sensative part, but

ithe existing records of those days bear

ample testimony to the fact that the berea- vemont was not quiety submitted to, the country folks especially resenting and op- | posing it.

One favorite English Christmas sport, | very generally played on Christmas Eve, | has been handed down from time imme- morial under the name of Snap Dragon. This amusement, I imagine, is more fami- | liar to English than to Canadian boys, for [cannot learn that it has been adopted here. But to those who have brought with them recollections of Christmas in Old England, it is perfectly familiar. A quan- tity of raisins are deposited ima large dish or bow! (the broader and shallower the be:ter), and brandy or some other spirit 1s poured over the fruit and ignited. The by- staunders now endeavor, by turns, to grasp a raisin by plunging their hands through the flames ; and as this is somewhat of an ar duous feat, requiring both courage and rapidity of action, a considerable amount of laughter and merriment is evoked at the expeuse of the unsuceessful compeltors. As an appropriate ac ompaniment 1 intro- duce here

THE SONG OF SNAPDRAGON,

Here he comes with flaming bowl, Don’t he mean to take his toll! Snip ! Snap! Dragon. Take care you don’t take too much, Be not greedy in your clutch. Snip! Suap! Dragon.

With his blue and lapping tongue Many ef you will be stung. Snip! Snap! Dragon.

For he snaps at all that comes, Snatching at his feast of plums. Snip! Snap! Dragon.

But old Christraas makes him come, Though he looks so fee! fa! fum! Snip! Snap! Dragon.

Don’t ‘ee fear him, be but bold— Out he goes, his flames are cold. Snip! Snap! Dragon.

While the sport of snap-dragon is going ou it is usual to extinguish all the lights in the reom, so that the lurid glare from the flaming spirits may exercise to the full its wierd-like effect. There seems little doubt that in this amusement we retain a trace of the fiery ordeal of the middle ages, and also of the Druidical fire worship of a still remoter epoch.

The Lord of Misrwe also played an im- portant part in the festivities of Christmas in the olden time. His duties were tv lead and direct the multifarious revels of the season. or, as 1t would be expressed in the present day, to act as Master of the Cere- monies The following account of him is given by Stuw: ‘On the feast of Christ- mas there was in the King’s house, where- ever he lodged, a Lord of Misrule, or Master of Merry Disports, and the Jike had ye in the house of every nobleman of honor or good worship, were he spiritual or tem- poral. The Mayor of London, and either of the Sheriffs had their several Lords of Misrule, ever contending without quarrel or offence who should make the rarest pastime to delight the beholders. These Lords beginning their rule at Christ mas Eve, continued the same till the morrow of Candlemas Day, in which space there werg fine and subtile disguising, masks and mummeries, with playing at cards for coun- ters, nayles and points, in every house, more for pastimes than for game.” —_In the University of Cambridge the functions of the Lord of Misru:e were performed by one of the Masters of Arts, who was regularly elected to superintend the annual repre- sentation of Latin plays by the students, besides taking a general charge of their games and diversions during tie Christmas season, and was styled the Imperator or Prefectus Ludovrum. Asimilar Master oi Revels was chusen at Oxford.

**

Sut it seems to have been among the lawyers at the Inns of Court in London that the Lord of Misrule reigned with the greatest splendour, berng surrounded with althe parade and ceremony of royalty, having his lord-kecper and treasurer, his guard of honor, and his two chaplains, who preached before him on Sunday im the Temple Church. On Twelfth Day lie ab- dicated his sovereignty, and we are inform- ei that in the year 1635 this mock repre- sentative of Ruyalty expended in the ex- erciss ot his office £2,000 from his own purse, and, at the conclusion of his reign was knighted by Charles I at Whitehall. A favorite mode of his Lordship to enter the duties of his office was by explaining to the company that he absolved them from all their wisdom, and that they were to be just wise enough to make fovls of them- selves. No one was to sit apart in pride or self-suifiviency to laugh at others. In the pantomime of the present day we see in the mischievous pranks of the clown who parodies al] the ordinary occupations of serious life, a reproduction under a modern iorm of ther extravagance cot the Lord of Misrule.

+ *

The last memorable act of a Lord of Mis- rule occurred in 1627. The Lord of Misruie and his foilowers on Twelfth-night sallied forth from the Inns of Court to tax the people of that neighborhood five shillings foreach house. When the master of a

Ix Mane Atrme.—A Kansas city paper re- ports that a young woman named Mary Gordon was recently arrested at that place for appear- ing on tre streets in male attire. When tried petore Recorder Davenport the evidence show- ed that she was quietly walking along the streets when arrested. ‘I do not want any more cases like this brought before me,” said the recorder. ‘1 have ruled on several of them lately, and the officers ought to know how I stand on them. There can be no law which prevents women from dressing in male attire and appearing in public therein, so long as they do not conduct themselves in a disord- erly manner, Any ordinances to the contrary are illegal. It is the latest fad for ladies to dress in the opposite sex, and women are gradually coming to it. It is the correct thing, not only for health, but for comfort. I wili discharge every woman brought before me under such conditions, as the defendant in this case. You can go, Mary. Ithink you look as neat as if you had a dress on.
