I The Boy Bishop
t.H.t---"Mt---t-t'Q
P12RI1APS the most romnrkablo of
all cclebrntloiiH In honor of St
Nicholas wns tlio old one 6f the
boy bishop. Tlio boy bishop assumed
Ills olllco on St. Nicholas day. Dec. 0,
and hold It till Holy Innocents' dafy
Doc. 28. Tlio custom orlglnritod on tlio
contlnont of Europe and was adopted
In England, where It reached -what was
probably Its fullest development A
boy was chosen to represent a bishop
and was clothed with all tlio robes and
(oBwkIu-.
this nor msiioi nur.nr with manrsT
POMP AND AUTIIOMTY.
Invested with it'll the Insignia pertain
lug to the station. Other boys repve
sented priests, deacons and other suit
able persons for the bishop's train.
Tho boy bishop conducted n service In
tlio church, and In some cases lie and
his companions went about from houso
to houso singing and collecting money,
which they did not ask as a gift but
demanded us a right
The boy bishop attalnod his fullness
of dignity at Salisbury cathedral,
though ho was known nil over 12ng'
land. There ho was chosen from
among tho choir boys, tho rest forming
his retinue, and ho ruled with the high
est pomp and most absoluto authority.
Ho is said to have conducted all tho
services of the church except tho muss.
In Homo other places the boy bishop
Is snld tovhnve celebrated the moss
Itself. If nny prebend foil vacant In
his term of ofilco ho filled It, nnd If ho
died before his term oxplred ho was
burled with all tho honors due to n
genuine bishop. There Is record of n
boy bishop nt Salisbury lining n vacant
prebend by ho appointment of his
schoolmaster, and lliera la in tho ca
thedral there the tomb of ono who died
while holding his olllce On tho top
of It Is nn efllgy or the child In full
episcopal robes
Such masquerading ploys as this
wore not ihou deemed offensive or
derogatory to the dignity of the church. I
In fact, much courser and more un
couth exhibitions were freely permitted
on somo occasions, even to the extent
of burlesques of the services of tho
church within lis own walls. Of course
tho ovll nnd discreditable side was
bound to be seen in time, and tlio fnnc-
tlous of the boy bishop were at last
forbfddon by Henry VIII. Tlioy wore
restored, however, for n time by Mary.

TS there eon thor be-a man moro
lonely than one leturned from a
colony who Iihh been out of bis
tM" native laud for twenty years and
comes bock when his pn runts ore dead,
his old friends dispersed and the old
nest has passed to other occupants?
And can his loneliness bo moro em
phasized than when his return syn
chronizes with Christmas?
That was my condition when I re
visited my old home. I was back not
at home, for 1 hod no homo now. My
heart began to fall me, my spirits to
decline, when I reached tho little coun
try town near which I was born. I
was Indeed depressed. I would hasten
to the rooms I had taken In a house
In the town and spend my Christmas
mp with a pipe and a glass alone.
I had done well In the big world nnd
had returned not a rich man, but with
a c( mpetetice. It had been my wish,
my ambition, to settle in the village
about which clunguill my sweetest and
holle t thoughts. Rut now could it be?
As I walked back to my lodgings
through the street and by the market
place folks wore hurrying In all direc
tions, and the very atmosphere was
tilled with the spirit of Christmas.
As I pursued my way I saw a tall,
slim girl Avalklng before me with n
basket on her arm. I noticed that the
bottom had come out and that the con
tents were falling on the pavement.
Of this she was unaware. I stopped,
picked up a Ilttlo woolly lamb, then
something wrapped In paper a sliver
iiutchbox.
Gathering them together, I ran after
the girl and stopped her.
"Excuse me," said I. "Are you a fe
male hop o' my thumb, dropping to
kens whereby your track may bo
known?"
I showed what I had collected. She
colored nnd thanked me. Then I rec
ognized her as my landlady's daughter.
"You must allow me to tlo my hand
kerchief around the basket nnd to enr
ry It for you. I believe we go tho
same way," I said.
"You are very good," she replied.
"Wo are about to have a Christinas
tree for the children this evening, and
'THIS,"
haii Tim nor, "is
WIIAT'U-UIH-KAMU."
rou ui:,
1 have been making some trilling pur
chases for my brothers and sisters and
(or papa and mamma."
Thon wo proceeded on our way, nnd
win u we went in the lunwe she receiv
ed the basket lrom me and again
thanked me.
"Shall you be dining out tomorrow?"
asked tho girl.
"IV Oh, no. I hovo no ono to dino
with. I know no ouu here."
"And this evening shall you bo go
ing anywhere?"
"No, I have no wheiowhithor to go."
w we parieti. i wont to my room.
i i (i,u, Wlth my pa pew. Tsot lit
tore the tiro In n brown study, and my
spirits sunk lower nnd oven lower.
The door opened, imtl l saw some
little heads outside, with golden curls
.and Hushed cheeks, nnd u child's volco
Haid. "Please. .Mr. Wlmt's-your-nauie.
will you come to our tree downstairs V"
As I hesitated the child said, "Pleuso
Annie told us to usk you.
So l descended and was witness of
the delight 'of the little ones over their
presents, when up sprang ono of tho
children and plucked from tho treo tho
silver matchbox.
"This," said tho boy, "Is for Mr.
Whot's-hls-nuuio. Sister Annie said It
was for him."
I was moved moro than I cau say.
So some hod been thinking of me,
though I was only u lodger.
"Look here, sir!" said the father.
"Vou'ro a stranger In Knglnnd, and at
such a time us this there must bo no
strangers. You must really sup with
us and dlno also with us tomorrow. I
can promise you u good plum pudding,
for It Is of Annie's making."
All was changed. 1 was a stranger,
and they toou mo In. I was lonely,
and they made of me n friend.
Ah, if the old home were gone might
I not build one that was now? I need
no longer live in tho past," but look to
the future, and next Christmas, please
God, I would not be alone-that Is, If

That nlsht might vlllaKo partnar ohoo'se.
O snug Sir Wnlter Scott of the
glories of Christmas eve and of
Christmas Itself. And the world
yields to him the palm for the
best practical description of the sou
ron's dear delights
Christmas with us Is n day of giving
and receiving, of good cheer and good
feeling, and essentially It is ono of re
ligious signihVance Hence It will
sound strange to ninny to be told that
a number of our Christmas customs
como down to us from pagan times.
Yet such Is Hie fnct Truces of some
heathen rites are found in England ns
well us here, and the cause of their
survival lies deeper than theology.
When the mother, country, so called,
was converted to Christianity the
priests found her people wedded to
ninny old customs Not nil of these
wore what they would have hod them,
but they had n prnetlcaf work to per
form and went nt It In a practical war
Tho more revolting of these customs
they properly uprooted altogether; the
bettor of them they preserved, only In
grafting tlio rites of the church upon
them
Thus It cumo about' that festivities
which hud their origin in the old Ro
man Saturnalia and had come into
uso uinong the druids survived in the
grim mythology of tho Snxons and are
a portion of our inheritance todny.
Conspicuous among theso are the burn
ing of the Yulo log and tho bunging
of tho mistletoe bough.
Among nil peoples who celebrate the
day at nil It has always been a day for
eating nnd drinking, for singing nnd
dancing nnd merriment of nil kinds. In
deed, this has been tho criticism of the
church against the mnnner of observ
ancethat Us spiritual meaning was
too often forgotten in tho general tide
of worldly cheer.
In England Its observance Is univer
sal. Tho chroniclers toll us that In
Cheshire no servants would work on
this day. even though their failure to
do so resulted in their discharge. The
richest families were compelled either
to do their own cooking on Christmas or
eat what had been prepared beforehand,
while dancing nnd merriment reigned
And the games that were played
number nearly legion, the most of
them, though, on Christmas eve. Itun-
TOE STItKETO IN MANY 1'IjACUI WlillE FILIiED
WITH MUMMUlta.
nlng in sacks, ducking for apples,
Jumping nt cakes suspended by n
string and trying to catch them be
tween the teeth, drinking hard elder
mixed with egg and spices, and a
scoro of others these claimed and still
clnlm In Devonshire the time of old
and young, the children themselves
being allowed on this one night to alt
up until tho midnight bell tolls.
What has been aptly called "a beau
tiful phase In popular superstition." a
very old belief, was that nil the pow
ers of evil lay dormant and harmless
on Christmas day.
Tho cock crowed through the live
long night to drive all evil spirits
away; tho bees sang lu their winter
hives; the cattle, half human at all
times, becnuie wholly so at midnight
nnd talked like human beings.
Bread that was baked the night be
fore Christmas could not possibly be
come moldy. The streets In many
places were tilled with mummers In
fantastic garb.
Indeed, there were mummers In the
days when Saturnalia reigned ovei
oven tho Roman emperors, but they
wero not necessarily of tho Christmas
tlnio. Tho love for niosquerodo Is til
most ns old as the human race Itself.
Hut as to the day Itself, It was then
