year So many friends that now are gone were here ! So many hopes were glowing then unspoken.\tA So many faiths were strong that lie broken, And loving hearts that trusted without fear ; At Christmas time last year.At Christmas time this year So many of us find the world a drear And barren desert wherein blooms no rose, With mountain peaks surrounding it, w hose snows Have chilled our hearts, and turned life's foliage sere At Christmas time this year.At Christmas time next year, Who knows what changing fortunes may be near ?Take courage, t hen 1 For night shall turn to day, From brightening skies the clouds must roll away.\t, And faith and hope and love shall all | , lie here At Christmas time next year * t t* T K I t The eves of the different ecclesiastical festivals are.according to the strict letter, times of fasting and penance, but in the cases of Christmas eve and All Souls eve (Halloween) mirth and jollity have routed every shadow of asceticism.The hanging of the mistletoe Is a survival of a custom of the ancient Druids, who regarded the plant with the utmost veneration, especially when it was found growing on the oak.the favor-/ ' \\ \\\\ lie tree of their divinity.Tutsnee.At r \\the period of the winter solstice a fee- tival was oelehrated in his honor, and 'mVW the Druids, with pomp and rejoicing, gathered groat quantities of the psra-| sitio plant.4-\tI The burning of the Yule log is Iran».I milted to us from our ancient Scandinavian ancestors, who.at their feast of Juul, at the winter solstice, kindled huge »K»nfires in honor of Thor.When this became a Christmas eve custom in England, the bringing log was attended with circumstance.Every wayfarer raised his hat as he passed it, for it was thought to be full of good promises.It was the custom, also, to lay aside the part of the log which was not consumed after it had served its purpose on Christams eve.It was carefully preserved in the cellar until the next Christmastime, when it was used to light the new log.It was a sign of bad luck if a squinting person entered the room when the log was burning.A barefooted person and a flatfooted woman were equally l>ad omens.As an accompaniment to the Yule log, a candle of \"monst rous*' mise, called the Yule candle, or Christmas candle, shed its light on the festive hoard during the evening.This was kept burning every one of the twelve nights of the festival.In Devonshire, the Yule log takes the form of a great fagot made of ask sticks and Iwund with bands of the same tret.Another Devonshire custom is for the farmer, with his family and friends, to partake of hot cakes and cider, the cake being dipped into the cider before being si.eaten, and then to proceed to the or-11 chard, one of the party hearing hot l! cakes and cider a* an offering to the \u2014 ' principal apple tree.The cake Is placé!
