Christinas Sleighing Song.
There's a loving lure in the pine cone’s ember
When the white frost etches the window pane;
There's a lingering chasm that all remember
In the tender voice and the lifted strain;
But, despit tLe joys of the dear Decemnber—
The carol’~ glamour, the Yuls log's plow—
I'd rather be where the night winds rally
And blow their bugles, a-ho, heigh-ho,
Down the valley a-sleighing with Sally
Over the crispy snow!
Yorsooth it’s jolly under tho holly
When the feet of the dancers trip in time,
And there's never a touch of melancholy
When the fiddle follows the cello’s rhyme,
Bunt for all the fun and for all the folly,
And for all the hanging the mistletoe,
I'd rather be where the night winds rally
And blow their bugles, a-ho, heigh-ho,
Down the valley a-sleighing with Sally
Over the crispy snow!
—Clinton Boollard.
PRINCESS LILITH.
Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judeea, in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusa-
lem,
Baying, Where is he that is born King of the
Jews. For we have seen hisstar in the east and
are come to worship him.
When Herod the king had heard these things,
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the ehief
priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be
born.
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of
Judea.
* ® . * ® . e
Then Herod, when he had privily called the
wise men, inquired of them diligently what
time the star appeared.
And be sent them to Bethlehem and said, Go
and search diligently for the young child, and,
when ye have found him, bring me word again,
#7..t 1 may come and Worship bim also.
® » * o
Being warned of God in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, they departed
into their own country another way.
® ® ® ° ® ® ®
Then Herod, when ho saw thas he was mock-
ed of the wiso men, was exceeding wroth.—
Matthew ii, 1-16.
The Princess Lilith, daughter of King
Herod, mused as ¢he reclined upon a
bed of purple, snd the negress Noun
waved a fan of feathers over her fore-
head, and the cat Astaroth slept at her
fect.
Princess Lilith was 15 yeara of age.
Her eyes were as deep as the water of a
cistern, and her mouth was like a cyo-
lamen flower.
She mused of her other, Queen Mir-
‘fam, who died when Lilith was sti’l
little more than a baby. She did not
know that her father had killed her in
a fit of jealousy, but she knew that he
kept her body in the depths of a secret
chamber, embalmed in honey and
spices, and that he still wept for her.
She mused upon her father, King
Herod, taciturn and always ill. Some-
times he shut himeelf up in his cham-
ber, and there one could hear him
scream aloud. It was because he
thought he saw those whom he had
caused to die—his stepbrother, Kosto-
bar; his wife, Miriam; his sons, Aris-
tobulus and Alexander, Lilith’s broth-
ers; his stepmother, Alexandra; her
son, Antipater; the doctor of law, Ba-
baben-Bouta, and many others. Al-
though Lilith knew nothing of all this,
her father always inspired her with
great terror.
She mused upon the Messiah looked
for by the Jews and of whom she had
heard so much from her nurse, Egla,
now dead. And, although the Messiah
would be king in Herod's place, she
said to herself that she would very
much like to see him.
Lastly she mused upon little Hozael,
the son of her foster sister, Zebonda,
who lived in Bethlehem. Hozael was a
year old. He laughed merrily and was
beginning to talk. Lilith loved him
tenderly, and almost every day the or-
dered her mules to be harnessed into
her cedar chariot and went with the
negress Noun to visit the little Hozael.
Lilith mused upon all these things,
and then it seemed to her that she was
very much alone in the world and that
without little Hozael she would be very
sad. .
* - © * 2
Presently Lilith went into the garden
to walk under the. great gycamores.
There she met old Zabulon, who had
been formerly captain of the king's
goard. Herod bad replaced bis Jewish
guard by Roman roldiers, but having
confidence in old Zabulon he Lad given
him the care of that part of the palace
inhabited by Lilith.
Old Zabulon, who had been feeble
for many years, sat sunning himself
upon a stone bench. His back was so
bent with age that his long beard
reached to his knees.
Lilith said to him, ‘‘Tbou art sad,
old Zabulon.”’ :
‘Yes, Princess Lilith, because I have
learned from a centurion that the king
has given orders to kill tomorrow morn-
ing at dawn all the children in Bethle-
hem under two years of age.’
oe Why?
**The wise men have announced that
the Messiah is born. But it is not
known how to recognize him, and the
wise men have not returned to tell
where they havo found him. By killing
all the babies in Bethlehem, the king is
sure that the Messiah™ caunot escape
him.”
**That is true,’* aid Lilith. *Thatis
acleverdevico.’”’ Then after a moment's
reflection, ‘‘Could I see him?"
“ Who?’ ’
“The Messiah."
‘‘In order to see him, one must know
%wlicre he is. And if we knew where to
find him, the king would not be obliged
to kill all the other little children of
the town.'’
‘“That is true,’ said Lilith. Then she
added in a low voice, as if she were
afraid of her own words, ‘‘My father is
very wicked.” Then suddenly, ‘‘But
little Hozael?'®
*‘Little Hozael,’’ said Zabulon, ‘will
die with the others, for the soldiers will
search every house.’’
“But I am very sure that little Ho-
zael is not the Messiah. How could he
be the Messiah? He is the Bon of my
foster sister.’’
‘‘Ask your father to epare him, ’’ said
Zabulon.
¢‘I dare not,”’ raid Lilith. Then she
resumed: “I shall go myself with Noun
and get little Hozael and bide him in
my room. Then he will be very safe,
for the king almost never comes there.*’
* * * * * *
Lilith ordered the mules to be har-
nessed into her cedar chariot, sped to
Bethlehem with Noun, entered the
home of her foster sister Zebonda and
gaid: *‘‘It is a long time since I have
seen Hozael. I should like to carry him
to my palace and keep him for a day
and a night. The baby is weaned and
Las no longer need of thy care. I will
give him adress of hyacinth and a col-
lar of pearls.” She said nothing to Ze-
bonda of what she had learned from
Zabulon, so afraid was she of the king.
But she noticed that Zebonda's face
shone with unwonted joy.
“Why art thou so joyous?'’
Zebonda hesitated a moment, then
replied, ‘‘1 am joyous, Princess Lilith,
because you love my son.’
‘And thy husband—where is he?”’
Again Zebonda hesitated and an-
swered, ‘‘He has gone to gather his
flocks upon the mountain side.’
Noun hid the little Hozael under her
long veils, and Lilith and the good ne-
gress returned to the palace just as the
sun was setting.
* * * «* * *
When Lilith reached her chamber,
she took Hozael upon her lap, and the
baby laughed and tried to pull the little
princess’ long ear pendants. But sud-
denly Noun, who was preparing some
corn gruel for the child in the next
room, rushed in crying: ‘‘The king!
Here comes the kingl"’
Lilith had only time to hide Hozael
in a large basket and cover him with a
pile of silks and bright wools before
King Herod entered with a slow, heavy
tread, the chains and plates of gold,
with which he was covered, shaking
with each movement. His back was
bent, and his bloodshot eyes glared in
his terrible face. His chin shook so with
the palsy that his bristly beard seemed
to shudder. He said to Lilith, ‘Whence
comest thoun?"’
She replied, ‘‘From 9Jericho.’’ And
she raised toward the king her eyes, as
calm as the water of a cistern.
‘Oh, how she resembles her!'’ mur-
mured Herod.
At this moment a little cry came
from the basket.
“Will you keep quiet?’’ said Lilith to
the cat Astaroth, who slept on the rug.
Then she said to the king: ‘‘My father,
you seem troubled. Would you like me
to sing to you?”
And taking her gither, she sang him
a song about roses.
And the king murmured, ‘‘Ob, that
voice!”’ .
\ Then he fled, as if struck with fear,
because Lilith's voice and eyes recalled
to him the voice and eyes of Queen Mir-
iam.
* «* * -* « #*
Lilith went into the garden and found
old Zabulon weeping.
“Why dost thou weep, old Zabulon?"’
‘“You know the cause, Princess Lilith.
I weep because the king wishes to kill
the little child who is the Messiah. "’
‘‘But,’’ said Lilith, “if he is really
the Messiah, men cannot have the pow-
er to kill him.”
‘God wishes us to help him, '* replied
Zabulon. ‘‘Princess, you, who are so
gocd and so compassionate, should warn
the father and mother of this little
child.” -
‘‘But where shall I find them?’
‘‘Question the people of Bethlehem.’
‘“‘But ought I to save one who will
chase my father from this palace, one
by whom I may somo day become a
poor prisoner or a beggar in the streets?’
‘‘That day is far removed,’ said Zab-
ulon, ‘‘and the Messiah is now cnly a
tiny babe, more helpless even than lit-
tle Hozael."’
‘“‘But are you sure that he is the
Messiah?’ demanded Lilith.
‘“Yes,"’ said Zabulon, ‘‘because he
was born in Bethlehem at the time ap-
pointed by the prophets and the wise
men have seen his star.’
‘ ‘He mutt be very beautiful, although
he is so small. Don't you think so, Zab-
ulon®’
‘‘It is written that he shall be the
most beautiful among the children of
men.’
“I shall go to see him, ’* said Lilith.
* « e * * *
When night came, Lilith enveloped
herself in long black veils, and the
bracelets and circles of gold upon her
arms and ankles, the collars about her
neck and the precious, stones with
which she was covered shone through
her veils as softly as the stars in the
sky. And thus Lilith resembled the
night, whose name she bore, fer in He-
brew ‘‘Lilith’’ signifies ‘‘the 1.ight.”’
She left the palace secretly with the
negress Noun, and as she walked she
mused : *‘I should not want the Messiah
to take the crown from my father be-
cause it would be very hard for me not
to live in a beautiful palace any more
and not to have any more soft rugs and
pretty dresses and perfumes and jewels.
But still I do not want them to kill
this little newborn child. So I shall
tell my father that I have discovered its
hiding place, and as a recompense for
this service I shall entreat him to spare
the child and keep him in his palace.
Thus he cannot harm us, and if he is
really the Messiah he will let us share
his power, "’
Lilith found Zebonda and her hus-
i band, Methouel, in prayer. Both seemed
| filled with great jcy. Lilith bethought
. her of a ruse,
“Hozuel is very well,”’ said she,
**and I ¢hall bring him back to you to-
morrow. Bui since you know where to
come to adore him.'’
Mcthouel was a simple man, little
aispesed to think ill of others, so he re-
fnd the Messiuh lead me to him. Iam |
piicd, *‘1 will show you the way, Prin-
cess Lilith.”
* * * * * *
When they reached the spot where
the infant lay, Lilith was greatly as-
tonished, for she bad expected to sce
something extraordinary and magnifi-
cent without knowing exactly what, |
and she only saw a hut built against a
rock and in this hut an ass, an ox, a
man who appeared to be a workman, a
woman of the people, beautiful, yes,
but pale and delicate and poorly clad.
And in the manger, lying upon the
straw, was a little child, whom at first
glance she thought like any other child.
But when she drew nearer she saw its
eyes, and in those eyes a lock not that
of a babe, an infinite sweetness more
than human, and she became aware that
the stable was only lighted by the light
which emanated from him.
She said to the young magther, ‘‘What
is your name?’
“‘Miryem."’
‘And your little boy?’*
‘‘Jesus '’
‘‘He seems to be very good.’
‘‘He moans sometimes, but he never
ries. "’
‘¢Will you let me kiss him?”’
“Yes, madam, ’’ said Miryem.
Lilith stooped and kissed the child
upon the forehead, and Miryem was a
little vexed that she did not kneel.
‘So,’ said Lilith, ‘‘this little ehild
is the Messiah?'’
‘‘You have said it, madam.’’
‘And he will he King of the Jews?’
‘“It is for that that God has sent
him.” :
‘‘But then he will make war and kill
many men, and he will dethrone King
Herod or his successor?*’
‘“No,’’ said Miryem, ‘‘for his king-
dom is not of this world. He will have
Dpeither guards nor soldiers. He will
have neither palaces por treasures. He
will not inflict taxes upon the people,
and he will live like the poorest fisher-
man on the lake of Genesareth. Heo
will be the servant of the poor and
humble. He will heal the sick and com-
fort the afflicted He will teach truth
and justice. It is over hearts, not bod-
ies, that he will reign. He will suffer
to teach us the price of suffering. He
will be the King of Love, for he will
love all men. And he will teach those
who are tormented with a longing
which this world cannot satisfy where
their poor hearts can find peace and
joy. And no doubt he will have a
throne.’
‘“Ab, now you see!’’ eaid Lilith, still
resisting.
‘‘But,’’ resumed Miryem, ‘‘the throne
will be a cross. He will die upon a
cross 10 expiate the sins of men so thas
God, his Father, may have pity upon
them.’
Lilith listened in astonishment.
Slowly she turned her head toward the
manger. The babe was gazing at her,
and, vanquished by the caress of those
deep eyes, she murmured, ‘‘No one ever
told me those things before,’' and fall-
ing upon her knees she adored him.
‘‘I know,’’ said Lilith as she rose,
‘‘that King Herod will search for the
child to kill him. Take tho ass and fly.
I will pay its master.’’
* « * * * *
Following the narrow paths which
wound in and out among the round
hills the little company soon reached
the plain. ‘‘Here,’’ said the princess,
‘I must leave you. I am tho Princess
Lilith, daughter of King Herod. Re-
member ine."’
And us they disappeared in the dark-
ness of the night, Joseph leading the ass
upon which sat Miryem holding the
infant Jesus in her arm& Lilith fol-
lowed with her eyes the aureocle en-
circling his divine brow. As the pale,
mysterious light disappeared behind a
forest of sycamores Lilith heard the
tramp of horses’ hoofs and the clanking
of swords upon the opposite road. It
was the squadron of Roman soldiers
marching toward Bethlehem.
Every one knows that the Princess
Lilith was one of the holy women who
followed Jesus on the duy of his sacri-
fice and that little Hozael was one of
the first disciples of Christ, the Saviour.

Boiled Rull For the Poor.
In May, 1661, George Staverton left
asum of money to purchase a bull,
which Hull he gave to the poor of Wo-
kingham town and parish. The animal
was to be boiled, the hide and the offal
to be sold, and the proceeds expended in
the purchase of shoes and stockings, to
be bestowed upon poor children. Up to
the year 1828 a bull was regularly boil-
ed on the 21st of December in the mar-
ket place of Wokingham. But in that
year the corporatien of the town deter-
mined upon discontinuing such a pro-
ceeding, which has since accordingly
been omitted. At Christmas, 1885, a
mob broke open during the night the
place where one of the animals was
kept ard boiled it, in spite of the mag-
istrate’s endeavors to prevent them, and
similar attempts bave since been made
on other occasions. — Boston Herald.

GOLDEN MISTLETOE.
The Wonderful Tree in a Beautiful Grove. Legend.
of the @loomy Vale and Death of Balder
the Beautiful — Ancients Believed
That Trees Could Feel Pain
—Roman and Greek
Mythology.
Und grun des Lebens goldner Baum.
—Faust.
The sacred books of the Buddhists
prove that in the early days of their
religion a question which deeply agi-
tated the minds of the learned was
whether or not the trees had souls, says
a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.
The controversy raged strongly, for the
belief was widespread that in injuring
or mutilating a tree proportionate pain
was inflicted on its spirit’s nature.
The same idea creeps ‘out again and
again in Greek and Roman mythology,
and the folklore of every country and
people in Europe is full of it, and at
such seasons as Christmas these primi-
tive customs ars actually practiced.
The numerous German and English
songs and cfferings to the apple trees
are still heard and seen on every Christ-
mas. Ovid in his ‘‘Metamorphoses’’ tells
the beautiful story of Erisicthon’s im-
pious attack on the grove of Ceres and
how the Greek dryads and hamadryads
had their lives linked to a tree, and as
‘‘this withers and dies they themselves
fall away and cease to be. Any injury
to bough or twig is felt as a wound, and
a wholesale hawing down puta an end
to them at once. A cry of anguish es-
capes them when the cruel ax comes
near.”’’
It was this established beiicf that
produced such lines as:
Loud through the air resounds the woodman’s
stroke,
When, lo! a voice breaks from the groaning
Spare, spare my life, a trembling virgin spare!
ob, listen to the hamadryad's Ne pa
No longer let that fearful ax resound.
Preserve tho tree to which my life is bound.
Bee, from the bark my blood in torrents flows.
I faint, I sink, I perish from your blows.
Accepting, then, this prevalent faith
in the actual life and soul of the trees,
we must pass on to the subjects on hand
—the golden bough or mistletoe—the
classio gloomy vale and its locality,
wherein the legend of Balder the Beau-
tiful and his death by the mistletoe
shaft are in touch with the ancient doc-
trines of tree worship.
Is is often stated that Virgil gave this
name of the golden bough to ihe mistle-
toe, whereas he only compares it with
the mistletoe.
In the sixth book of the ‘‘Zneid’’ he
tells us how two doves, guiding Zneas
to the gloomy vale, in whose depth grew
the golden bough, alighted upon a tree
‘‘whence shone a flickering gleam of
gold. As in the woods in winter cold,
the mistletoe—a plant not native to its
tree—is green with fresh leaves and
twines its yellow berries about the
boles. Such seemed upon the shady oak
the leafy gold, so rustled in the gentle
breeze the golden leaf.’’ Virgil does not
say it is the mistletos, and yet what
else? - Its identification is perfect.
The poet locates the gloomy vale in
the neighborhood of Lake Avernus, but
Italian tradition, as recorded by Servi-
us, points to the grove of Nemi, Aricia.
Now the story of this Arician grove is
embodied in Macaunlay’s lines:
The still, glassy lake that sleeps
Beneath Aricia’s trecs—
Those trees in whose dim shadow
The ghastly priests doth reign,
The priest £200, slew the slayer
And shall himseif be slain.
In daysof antiquity in this beautiful
grove grew a wonderful tree, round
which a prowling figure, sword in hand,
seemed to he constantly expectant of an
attack from some enemy. Yet he was
the priest of the grove, and, by the or-
‘der of his office, he would some day be
killed by the claimant who wished to
succeed him. To gain his position he
had slain his predecessor, and, in course
of time, must himself be slain. Such is
a brief context of Strabo’s version. The
branches of the tree might not be bro-
ken, except by a runaway slave. This
bough gave him the right to challenge
the priest, and, if successful, to assume
the title of ‘‘king cf the wood.’’ Tra-
dition tells that this was the bough
which Zneas plucked before he jour-
neyed to the lower world.
In the familiar story from Norse
mythology of Balder the Beautiful we
recall the facts that he first dreamed
and had great foreboding of evil, yet he
belonged meither to earth nor heaven.
His fellow gods, anxious to protect him,
took an oath from fire, air, earth and
water, stones, trees and plants, sick-
nesses and poison, birds, creeping things
and four footed beasts that they should
not injure Balder.
Being thus iuvulnerabls, the gods
amused themselves by throwing stones
and logs at him. Then Loki, the mis-
chief maker, discovered that cast of
Walhalla grew the mistletoe ‘‘that
seemed too young and innocent to
swear.’' Pulling it, he placed a branch
in blind Hodur’s hands, who threw and
struck Balder dead. Then his body was
placed on his great ship Ringhor, the
funeral pyre was lit, his faithful wife,
Nanna—whoso tears had fallen on the
fatal branch and been turned into
pearly berries—and his warhorse were
burned with him as the ship drifted
away toward the northern sky edge.
Now, when we recall that the sacred
sacrificial fires were kindled periodical-
ly, we can read plainly and clearly the
myth of Balder. He was the tree spirit,
the beautiful sac~d oak which could
not be injured or wounded by the axes
or weapons of mortals. But the oak
must be cut down for the sacred fire,
and only in its heart life—the mistletoe
—could it be wounded. When it was
plucked, the mighty tree tottered and
fell.
He Is Coming.
Yes, ho, thy King, is coming
To end thy woes and wrongs,
To give thee joy for mourning,
To turn thy sighs tc songs;
To lift thee from thy sadness,
To set thee on the throne,
Messiah's chosen nation,
His best beloved one.
