News and Courier. To this period of superstition is to j be attributed the Tory pleasing fiction of modern times relative to "kissing under the mistletoe," says a writer 011 Christmas customs. In the good old times the custom was very (piaintly deliiiL-d. Every berry on the mistletoe bough hung in the centre cf the hall entitled a young gallant to a kiss from any member of the fnir fox who passed beneath it. After exacting the penalty from the niak1 en he had to pluck a berry from the boi'gli and haiid it to her as a peace offering. To he strictly correct the young lady then had to throw the berry on to the burning Yule-log in the open grate and de cide, by the time it took in cracking, her luck daring the ensuing year. Xow-a-days the custom has been shorn of nil its formalities, but the leading feature of it has not been forgotten or abandoned. Scores of legends abuund as to the origin of the custom, one of the quaintest cf which is worth recording. A prince of royal blood and of tine physique got separated from h.s companions while out hunting, lie wandered through the woods all- day and at night arrived at nu old ruined castle. He knocked at the gale, and having satisfied the watch man that he was not a robl.it-r or a dangerous character, was allowed to enter. The onlv inmates of the1'311 castle were a hidions old baron and his lovely daughter. The welcome accorded to the wanderer was not of the most enthusiastic character, and when in the morning he paid some well-worded complimei.t to the baron's daughter he was seized rudely by command of the irate parent and turned out of the castle. He wandered about for several days and, when almost dead from fatigue and hunger, he encountered a fairy, to whom he told his talvui tures. She inform 'd him that if he re turned to tho ca.tle armed with r. mistletoe bough the power of tlie baron over his lady-love would eenscand ho cm Id w in hor uitL? kiss. lint the bough must be plucked from a hollow oak growing j by the side of a stream, on the op I liuiIa I.411L- tiF tL-hs.h ufii. it i m ing willow wit'i all its 1 a cs to:ui off save two. For weeks the love s'ck prince seaiched for this par ticular oak. but without success. At last he fell asleep one night under an oak tree, aud when he awoke in the morning he observed to his sur prise a rivulet just at his feet ami a weeping wihovv on the eppo.-iti j bank, which answered exactly tin fairy's description. Ho speedily climbed the tr?e, plucked a bougl of mistletoe which grew at its sum- mit, repaired to tho castle and won his bride.

"When a marriage between cousins is spoken of, sterility or a deaf nude, idiotic, or deformed progeny is predicted, and examples are always at hand to cite in support of the prophecy. Does this opinion rest upon posi tive and well authenticated facts, or is it erroneous? This is ;i question tint was examined a few years ago by Mr. (I. II. Darwin, who, after a profound study of the subject, canio to the conclusion that, in the nvi-spiit stare or science, tlicre is prejudice tlut exists against the marriage of near kin. More re cently, the subject has been fuither examined by Mr. A. II. Until, who has just published an exhaustive work upon it, in which he arrives at the same conclusions that Mr. Darwin did.

'Twas a lit hour for the communion of souls. Roe circled the tapering waist of Ilelene, and her fair head rested upon tlie shoulder of his threadbare coat. Roe was uneasy. "Is thy soul restless this night, my love? Has the di vine afflatus seized thee in its inexorable grasp? Gaze upon yonder elfulgent orb, and me thinks in her quiet beauty thou shalt find surcease of sor row, love." And still the 'poet was rest less. ''Will no word of mine re lieve thee, dearest?" said Ilelene. Hardly," was the reply, in a hoarse, cadaverous tone "Words will not suffice." Then Ilelene leaned over her poet lover and pressed a burn ing kiss upon his alabaster brow. Looking into the azures depths of his soulful eyes with an arch smile she queried: '-Will kisses suffice, love'!!:"' "Alas! no," was the heart broken reply, "for these are evanescent." , - .'..; "Shall we walk upon ; the balcony, dearest?" whispered Ilelene in mellifluous accents "Alas! no, my love; 1 am too. weak," murmured Roe ;Regi n a Id with a consumptive! sigh- Ilelene was perplexed.' - ('' "Tell me truly," she pleach ed, "hasthy love for;Helferie grown cold?
