In the highest the lowest the loneliest spot
Young Novell sought wildly but found her not
Hnd years flew by and their grief at last
OTas told as a sorrowful talc long past
Hnd when Jovcll appeared the children cried
See the old man weeps for his fairy bride
TJC length an old chest that had long lain

Has found in the castle Chey raised

Hnd a skeleton form lay moldering there
In the bridal wreath of that lady fair
Oh sad was her fate In sportive Jest
She bid from her lord in the old call chest
It closed with a spring and dreadful doom

FANTASTIC CELEBRATIONS
Mysteries and Moralities at Christ
mas In Middle Ages
During the middle ages Christmas
was celebrated by the gay fastastic
spectacle of dramatic mysteries and
moralities given by personages in gro
tesque masks and singular costumes
The scenery usually represented an in
fant in a cradle surrounded by the Vir
gin Mary and St Joseph bulls heads
cherubs eastern magi and many orna
ments
Then there were the Christmas car
ols or some which recalled the songs of
the shepherds at the Nativity These
songs were attended by dances to the
rhythm of the various musical instru
ments Everybody joined this merry
making and the wild music and sing
ing were kept up the livelong night
Of these ancient Christmas carols but
few have been preserved to us Thef ore
going seemed to be the custom of all
Christian nations during the middle
ages
In Italy it was the custom of the
Calabrian minstrels to descend from
the mountains and discourse their wild
music before the shrine of the Virgin
Mary In England and on the conti
nent the bells are still rung at mid
night Among other revels of the
Christmas season were the so called
feasts of fools and asses in which ev
erything serious was burlesqued in
feriors dressed up as thoir superiors
and great men becoming playful the
whole showing the proneness of man
to reverse the order of society and to
ridicule its decencies
In England Christmas is a term at
once for a religious and merrymaking
festival for every rank and age the
festivities commencing on Christmas
eve and lasting till Candlemas and ev
ery day being a holiday till Twelfth
Night Jan G In the houses of no
bles a lord of misrule formerly was
appointed whose duty it was to pro
vide the rarest amusement and whose
rule lasted from All Hallow eve
till CaiivMerans They lived on the fat
of the laud and all of the tenants were
Invited in to share th9 general fun and
merrymaking Ilouston Post
BnrfrnmlyH Christmas Carols
In Burgundy carols are exceedingly
popular Indeed not more cherished Is
the Germans Christmas tree with its
glittering ornaments and the Christ
Child or he Englishmans red holly
berries mystic mistletoe blazing
hearth Are and smoking plum pudding
than are the ditties sung all through
advent until Christmas eve by the good
folk of that province
