CHRISTMAS GIFTS;
Notwithstanding the fact that to
the philosophical mind Christmas is
a great comedy of errors in which
the actors go about purchasing or-
naments for those who want util-
ities, utilities for those who wept
ornaments; and -both for those who
want neither, .there is something
about the Christmas spirit that
time eannot wither or custom stale.
• The impediment, as Emersott
nye, lies in the choosing, tied the
holiday reform that is :so devoutly

logists ought .to be directed to-

its sweetness on the desert air.
Yet, in spite of this fact, the true

EVOLUTION OF CHRISTMAS.
It matters not that the Christmas
tree sprung from a pagan ceremon-
ial, that antedated the birth of
Christ; diet the baileys iital
foe 60 freely used in Chi:lame dec-
°redoneare survivals of ancient
Druidical" worship, the Christmas
carol born of the hymns of theSa-
turnalia .' and ri at it is not known
whether December P.5th be the cor-
rect date of the birth of the Christ -
child; or that people -in Rued* and
in other eountries-celebrates in all
earnestness and toleninity another
day as Christmas day, so strongly
grounded is the -Christmas belief,
sonk so widespread his begome the
desire for a fitting observance of
the day, that the old forms and
customs have lost their pagan sig-
nificance like" the- holly and mistle-
tee, which, though once a Part of a
heathen rite,\ are now used 'almost
wholly for decorative effect. Few
are they who know, says the Home
Magazine, that the mistletoe was
an .object of special veneration
among the Druids, and that it was
gathered with great ceremony; and
the Yule -log, sinee a subject for
poetry and a theme for song,was
originally burned in honor of Thor
the mythical god of war. But this
would not ehange our custom.
The tendency has been forward,
steadily, to a sane observance of
theday and from the riotousners of
