Pleasant Remembrancer?. Sitting hen?, 1 find myself holding 6 levee of departed Christinas night?. Si- I lentiy, into my study of iiaagin<d'on romi' these apparitions, clad in snowy mantles, brooched and gemmed with , fro:,!*. Their numbera I do not core to j count, for they aro tho number of my ? years. The visages of some aro aaa i enough; but, ?rn tho whole, 'tis a con gregatiouof j. .Hy ghosts. I hear a sound j as ol lip?lit mns?c, a whisk of women's dresses whirled around in dance, and tho click as of glasse-s pledged by friends. ! Before ono apparition is a mound on which the snow ia lying. I know that . spring of mistletoe* O, f-pirit in the midst: Under it I swung the girl I lo* .' -and kissed her, too. And thou, too, uith tr< ncher in hand; I n-mtmlwr thy reigning j,i;.'lit. Where now aro the many l*>ys and girls ihut thrust their fingers in thy I?la7.>.-? Tho kindly Christmas tree, from which I trust every gentle r.-.uW will pull a lion-ton or two, is already sparkling with the sweet fruits of ita season. You, young Indica, will pim-l; giftlings fruits 'fiom it; and with the mgiir-pluiu you viii find one of those delicious conun drums, which the confectioners intro duce int'J the sweetmeats, and which ap ply to the cimiiiug passion of love. There aro som*1 ?tauding nl>out the treo who don't core about thclove-riddlepart. Patience, little people! a dozen Christ mases more and you will l>o reading those wonderful conundrums. As for us older folks, wo watch thc young people prilling ot tire branches; but we no long er reach for tim fn:its, and for us tho Christmas lights Iiavo mostly gone out. Christmas Carols. In Shaksp- are n timo carols werp sung ic tho streets at night during Christina* by the wuit^, or watches, who expectou to receive gifts for their singing. Many a r.ritor of old times and diatoms rofers to tho "wakeful ketches of Christmas Eve." It waa after the Reformation that they ceased to sing Latin hymns iu tho churches, and sui stitutcd the sweet Christmas carols. For there wore two kinds of carols in vogue-those of a devotional nature, which were sung not only in the churches, but also through tho atroots from houso bi houso upon Christmas Eve, and even after that morn ing and evening, until Twelfth Day. In those times men were aldo to sparo moro than ono brief day for the celebra tion of Christmas, and kept up the festival for at least twelvo days. Other carols were of a livelier natura, and wore especially adapted to tho revel and tho feast where too lord of miarulo had potent sway. These carols were also called wassail-songs, and probably originated among tho Anglo-Normans, who were of a convivial naturo. No Christmas entertainment was completo without tho joyous singing of enrols, and thence carno tho motto, "No Song, no Supper," for every genest nt tho table waa expected to join in the carol. Ono of tho rules laid down by tho ancient customs was that "the ancientest m?stet of tho revel ia, after dinner nnd supper, tofliug a carol, a Kong, and to command tho othor gentlemen present to sing with liim and tho companies." . Christmas Superstition. Tho superstitions connected with Christina.*-, are many und full of interest. In rtferonce to it almost every people, and indeed every community, have their I>ot aayiuga and hignn. Stories iu con nection with birds und beasts aro abund ant. Shakespeare, encouraging tho idea of tho iiitlucnco in tho lower order of animals, refers to tho tradition that at midnight of Christmas Eve, at tho crow? ing of tho cock, evil hpirita forsnko tho earth ami nook their own places. In a western part of Devonshire, En gland, u notion prevails that at twolvo o'clock ot night on Christmas Evo, tho oxen in their stalls nro always found upon their knees ns if in devotion, while what is more remarkable in tho super stition is that since tim tho chango of stylo they are found in kneeling postures only on* Chrialman Day. An honest countryman, living on tho edgo of St. Stephen's Down, no;ur Launceston, Corn wall, says that he, with somo others, one? mudo a trial of tho oxen on Christ nun Evo, and, w atoning several in their stalh at the apj>uiuled hour, observed tho oldest two fall upon their knees aud innia- "o cruel moan liko Christiana." Thero is an old picture in which th* o*en of thc stabln aro represented in n supplicant position on their knees, and doubtless thia picture originated tho fabulous story of tho honest country man. The Happy Christmas Bennion. On Christmas }t-is customary for all the members of a family to collect nnd unite iu morry making, feastiug and otherwise onjqyiug. themselves. With what mingled emotions of jov and sorrow aro theso nappy reunions looked back upon in after yenxB by participants think ing of iboao dear ones now, perhaps, separated from them forever.

Ono of our justly celebrated wr.ters declares that thom never was a time when the path of a mau waa so beset by trials and aufferings thnt ho could r?>t find something to bo thankful for. * , in proof of lils assertion, he tc- j ?tory: Once upon a timo two mon were to bc hanged for murder. Tho day and tho hour lind arrived, nnd the condemned were conducted out from tho prison-?ut to tho brond comme:?- -and np to the elevated platform of tno gollowa, wkero tho two hangman's knots deoonded from the \tvuw overhead. They had taken their places on tho drop, nnd tho Sheriff was about to adjust the" ropes, when a sudden and wild commotion was manifest in tho thron/; of men, womon and chil dren that filled the common. Thero were thousands of spectators-from ev ery quarter, and from every sphere of lifo-packing closer and closer, ns.thoso on tho outside sought to get nearer to the front, thus crowding and pushing, when a wild bull that had broken looso ' from his keeper, came tearing into tho midst nf tho sea of humanity, tossing mid plunging and roaring, and creating Buch terror ns many there had never be fore dreamed of. The two condemned men saw, and said one of them to tho other: "Hi! ain't wo fort'nit, Bill? My eyes! it's good for us 'at we ain't in that mess!" WK notice hut few new designs on Christmas slippers.

"Once upon a time four'infernal* ?at brooding in hell how they might work destruction lo mankind. One haiti, 'I will tale charge of ihe vineyards;1 ah* other said,'! will lake the green Held*;' and another,'1 will take the dairy, 'and thc I.tit -aid, '1 wi!! take thc mil sic <.f the world.' The first fiend came into a vineyard and ?at di.wo on tin* twisted root ol a \ lue, in -1" er discouragement. "I don't knowhow to bewitch the world.' he \ saul. He clutched a cluster au I squeezed ! it, and hid hand wa- rfd with thc blood \ bf th*' grape. And ht squeezed more "? them into a large vat. The po p!- dip ped up ihe blood of the grapes They I drank, and there they fell on the way and when the fiend wished to return to i his home be itcj ped from body to body on a great caust v ay to hell, 'i bc second fiend walked through tho field of golden grain. Ile ihren it into lin- water and h t it rot ami lin n he lit n lire* under it by a flame from his own mouth and made thc fiery liquor. The fiend was *o pleased with it that he changed his residence from thc- pit to a whiskey U-rrcl. Thc fiend of the dairy saw the cows coining home from thc field?, and he saw the dairy maid- milking them, lie ?aid, "1 will change thal.*' Ile made a milk* punch. The people all took it and gave it to their children, and even mime tem perance people tonk it too. Til? fiend of music enters thc grog shop and he gathen d there the musical instruments of thc city. The people thronged in, each willi a wi ne-glas* in his hand. Then they began the dance ; the music played more loudly ; then the dance became wilder. The fluor broke and they fell into hell. Then the four fiends returned to hell, and Satan .-aid it wa? ali right. Tiiey filled t?icir glasses and clicked then and said, "Here"? lo thu liquor tratlic ' "As conn as it is whispered of a man 'he drink?' he begins togo down.

No mat ter how pour he was in this world he could get the five cents fora drink. Uni where will he get n drink in hell ? Dires called for waler, the inebriate calls for rum. If a fiend came here, went into a rum shop and went back into hell with a drop on the end ?>f his wing, w hat a fight there would be for the drop? The inebriates in hell will not suffer for the loss of (rod, but for the loss of liquor. "I don't like a sermon on generalities; I like personalities.

Oue hundred millions of inebriate souls ",ill assemble on the judgment day, and I want you to testify that I gave you warning when the fiends rattle the drunkard's bones on a wine cask, playing thc dead march to hell." TUE CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.- Dr. K. von Frilisch maintain? that the cause of earthquakes must be sought for nt a rather small depth, the greatest dep:h ascertained not exceeding ten or fifteen mile?, and usually fur less, while rather feeble forces produce earthquakes which nre felt at great distances. It is known that Krupp's hammer, which weighs 1000 centners, and falls from n 'leight of three metro, produces sensible concus sions on a surface of eight kilom?tres diameter; while the recent explosion of thc Leimbach dynamite manufactory was felt at Halie and Morsburg, forty one and forty five kilometres distant. While to show how easily concussions are Eroduced by causes comparatively feeble, ?r. Fritsoh points out how many earth quakes might be and mu?t be produced by the increase ami decrease of volume of rocks under the influence of physical and chemical forces and by concussions, by the opening of crevice ? in rocks, and by the stibshlence of masses of rocks due to iheso ngencies. Many schists aro aubjpeteil^ ?>J i- tnswn, to extension, and when crevices arise the schists must enter into oscillations which must pro duce very varied phenomona, according to the direction and the force of tho os cillations, much like to what is seen in the oscillations of tunning forks. - A reporter of the Cincinnati Ga zette interviewed the divorced wifeofGui teau while she was on her way to Wash ington to testify in thc trial of ber for mer husband, on Tuesday Inst. She denies that Guitcnu is insane, and says she simply regarded him as of peculiar temperament and exceedingly selfish .and irritable, always wanting to have his own way. 8ho said he wes ve-y vain and seemed to enjoy any kind of notori ety, and was not less sane than most other men arc. She had never heard of insanity in Guiteau's family and all thii talk about bia, being a lunatic was entirely a new thing to her.
