The clock npon tho mantel wad

not created to be an ascetic or a re

"For 'tis said that sinners and paints

And even be merrj without guile."
The observing of Christmas is a
kind of compound that has come
down to us through ages, and has
got mixed with the customs of
many nations. In tact, almost
everything that we have inherited

the months of the year have come
down to us from different source.
The Latins gave ns our botany and

music: a dozen nations cave ns our
composite language, and tho Scan
dinavians the best of our mytholo

was ruminating about the influence
that Scandinavian mythology lias
exercised over tho civilized world.
Here aie the names of the days of
the week that are upon cur lips all
our lives: The day of the sun. the
day of tho moon, the day of Twis-
deg, the god ot war; the day ot
Woden, tne good god of tho earth;
the day of Thor, the cod of the
heavens; the day of Fiiga, his wife,
and the day of Saturn, the god of
agriculture. All these have come
down to us from those who, like
the Ephcsians, worshiped the an
known god. ihey have come

their orgin is all an imaginative
myth. Perhaps the children should

sive. They were good fathers,
good mothers, good children, good
subjects, ard before the introduc
tion of Christianity they had gods
and god esses of their own creation,
and worshiped them with a faith
and trust that should put many of
cur Christians to shame. I'utlhoee
are Christian nations now,1 though
the more iguorant ol tho people
still cling to the superstitions of
their ancestors. I saw some mis
tletoe today going to decorate a
parlor for Christmas and it recalled
the sacred veneration that Swedes
and Norwegians still have for this
curious parasite. They say that
Thor and his wife, Friga, had. a
beautiful son, the haudornet and
most god-like young man in all the
universe. Friga loved tho boy
with all her mother's soul, and was
so apprehensivo that something
would happen to him that she got
her husband,. Thor, who was the
most powerful and majestic of all
the gods, to call upon everything
that was in the heavens above or
that grew in the earth below or
that was in the water under the
earth to corne before lain and swear
that they would not harm Balder,
which was the name of ber son.
And they "all took the solemn oath.
Now there was an evil spirit named
Loki, who lived iu Hela or hell
(and that is where that bad narno
came from), and Loki was envious
of Thor and his wife, but he did
not dare to lay his hands upon
Balder. So he went all over the
earth hunting for somebody or
something that had not been sworn.
At Ia&t lie found the mistletoe,
which had not, because it did not
row out of the earth and had been
overlooked. So Loki got a large
ttrong branch of it and threw it
with tho wind at Balder, and it
pierced his heart and killed him,
but tho mistletoe didn't mean to
do it, nor know what Loki wanted.
Poor iriga was distracted with
grief. Haider's soul went down to
Hela, but Woden, the good goJ,
for whom Wednesday was named.
told hi mother that his soul would
come back to her it she could get
everybody and everything in the
universe to weep a tear of sorrow
for his sad fate. Thereupon old
Thor shook the universe and made
the earth to quake, and command
ed all nature to weep. And the
sun and moon and stars heard him
and wept, and the heavens sent
down great floods of tears and the
mountains and trees all moaned
and wept and wept and all the cat
tie and birds and wild animals wept,
but Loki would not shed a tear.
and so the soul of Balder has to
wait in Hela until the end of the
world. The poor mistletoe was t
overwhelmed with grief that it
wept tears that turned into little
berries of pearl, and it is still weep
ing, and the little pearls keep com-
tig, and that is why the mistletoe
is held sacred in .Norway and Swed
en to this day, and that is why tho
beautiful white flower that comes
n the early spring on the moun
tains and in the valleys is called
"Baldcr's brow," and i the nation
al flower of those two countries.
But this is enough of this vcrv
pretty legend. I read it when 1
was young, and I never see the
mistletoe but what 1 respect it, aud
can almost imagine that its pearly

uerncs once were icare. oupcreu
tions may be foolish, but it is hu
man to have tnem even the In

Him in the wind. I would rather

The Trade" Carried Out.
From the News and Observer.
During the campaign, this paper
stated that, acting for the l.ep,
Pops and Boodlers Jeter C. I ntch-
ard, Marion Butler aud Richmond
Pearson made a bargain the terms
of which were :
1. Butler would sell oat the
Populists for and in consideration
of a scat in the Uaitcd States Sen
ate.
2. Piichard would deliver tho
Republican voters for and in con
sideration jf a scat in the United
States Senate.
3. Pearson would carry the bag
and furnish the money to carry out
the conspracv, for and in consid
eration of Butler's and Pritchard's
promise to elect him to the United
States House of Representatives.
All these things were told by
the Democratic papers during the
campaign. The Republicans and
Populists, with a pretence of in
dignation, jjenied that such a
"trade1 had been made, and de
nounced the Democrats for slander
mjr them.
In November, Reason was elect
ed.
Prichard got the short term.
Butler Las the long term.
This carries oat the trade" to
the very letter.
Democratic prophecy is thus ful
filled.
