In EugUnd people are proud of

There are trees tbere, in all crest

mostly trees of Asia, but one of the

To submit to one's lot , by; 09
means' implies that One should ait
down ' take - tbe world as it comes,
without an effort to shape , tbe
destiny which Is before every one.
But when efforts have eemedto
fail it Is of little, use to repiae, or
brood over past ills, better despise
the - affection, and endeavor ta so
profit by past errors as to avoid
future failures. Experience is a
costly teacher, it is true, but the
best of everything always -com4
manda the best pricef and it is a
trite saying tnat "the best is, the

well paid for, may prove, after
a good investment.

The Chriatmas Unest.
Tbeie is a beautilul custom
among tbe Jerbs oi the Danubiau
valleys to invite into the family ou
Christmas eve a stranger guest
who is for that time one of them
selves; he is welcomed upon bis en
trance by the traditional handful
of corn which is thrown in bis face
by the house mother, who cries to
him :
"Welcome I Christ is born I"
lie answers nieekh an echo to
her words.
'Christ is born."
The Christmas guest is tben taken
into tbe heart of tbe family, and
with tbem visits tbe open in their
stalls, tbe sheep iu their folds, and
the fowls and goats, giving them
the spoke bead and repeating tbe
formula:
"The peace of God be on thee I''
This is to insure good luck for
the ensuing year.
The house guest is tben invited
to "warm the kettle-chain." The
serfs have a tradition that this
chain can never be warmed on
Cnristmas night, since it had been
touched by tbe virgin Mother
when Christ was born. And that
is why tbey burn so many yule logs
trying to inlose beat into tbe
stricken metal.
men tbere is toe kiss ot peace
Even from that the Christmas
guest Is not debarred. Oe mav kiss
tbe prettiest maiden ot tbe home
but he must also kiss her board et
brothers as well. This chosen
guest he is called io tbe language
of the country a "Polaiik" -is not
always old or ill-favorvd. Indeed,
the merry maidens of a family will
pat it into the hoose father's bead
that such and such a youth has no
borne, or is a stranger and should
be asked to their festivities, and
among those innocent people no
barm comes Of a genial custom.
LBut the kiss imprinted on a girl's
rosy cbeek, even though it be con
sec rated with the prayer-chat,
"Christ is born," not often si ska
in blissful sweetness into ber young
heart, making tbe bold mountain
lad master there.
