Select Story. HOW IT WAS KEPT- HT XIAUY CIUACK HAI.l'INB. 'You ami I will iiuyit mnrry, will we, Tourt' said pretty .Jessie Juniper to her tall anil handsome brother. 'Never, eis.was tho quite- emphatio respond-. 'We will live together all our days, and he just the happiest old maid anil old haehelor that ever existed!' This was the compact entered into by Jessie and her brother Tom not long af ter the death of tneirfatheri and certain ly none was ever made in moio sincerity ami good faith. Tom had always con sidered Jessie as itiBt thu best and clear est sister in the woihl, and .lessio was ecpially sure there was no one cpiite like brother Tom.and in the sorrow and lone liness of their eominou beieaveiuent, their lieaits turned to each other with redoubled tenderness and affection, Mr. Juniper had been in ailhicnt cir cumstances, leaving his pioperty, by will, to his two children, to bo divided by them in any way to suit themselves. And here arose the nearest approach to a ipiarrel that tho two had ever had; Jessie declared that Tom, who had all the trouble of its iiianagcmeut, ought to have the largest portion, and Tom in sisting, ju.t as strenuously, that Jessie, who was less able to care for herself, ounht to have inoro than he. It was fl. nally settled that Jessie was to take the money and personal property, ami Tom the business and real estate, and that they wero to live together in the old homestead, just as they always hail done. Tom certainly had no reason to be dis satislied with this arrangement. Jessie was not only housekeeper, but took u genuine piide aud pleasure in her work. The house was oidcrly and his meals nicely cooked anil served, and Jessie al ways reiuly in tho evening to talk to, or to play ami sing for him. Jessie had no cause for discontent, either. Tom was a model brother, al. ways merry aud good teiupeied, ami rarely coming home witlio.it bring, ing her a new book or magazine, or wmi'tliic that 1i thought would , DECEMBER 24, interest and please her. Neither of them went much into society, but when they did it was always together) it being often remarked how attentive Tom was to his sister at such times, anil how hap. py Jessie was with her brother's; escort and society. This arrangement was not so satisfactory, however, to many of their mutual friends and acquaintances, ami there was a good deal of murmur ing, especially among the sterner sex, some of whom did not hesitate to de clare 'that it was downright sellish in in Tom Juniper thus to monopolize his pretty siter, especially when there were plenty of other people's sisters around unappropriated.' Tom visited New York every three months for the puipose of biiying goods, One dny he returned from tho city in high spirits even for hiip. 'I met John Hammond in New York, Jessie. He's head clerk in a large whole sale house there. And such a gloiorus time as we had talking over old affairs! He's just the same frank, pleasant, agree able fellow! You remember my iutiodii cing him to you at thu State fair a year ago last fall," Yes. Did ho mention his sister Julia? We were schoolmates, you know, and fast friends.' 'I saw her. Nothing would suit but 1 must go home with him to dinner. I spent two evenings there, besides; and very pleasant evenings (hey were. John is just as outspoken and full of fun as ever. What tlo you think he said to me as we went out for a stroll afler din ner!" 'Tom, old fellow,' s.iid he, 'why don't you get married? A steady, sensible, good-looking manlike you ought to have a wife.' I told him that I had the best sister and housekeeper in the world, and didn't need any. Then you ought to have heard him lecture mo on my selfishness. ' 'Not content,' ho said, 'with refusing to make some woman happy, but you must go deliberately to work to make some poor man wretched for life.' 'I declare sis, I began to be afraid that it was a little sellish and miserly to keep so much sweetness and beauty under lock and key." 'Nonsense, Tom!' retoited Jessie, eol oring. 'As though I would exchange my brother for the best man living. And I think it is v,ery impertinent in Mr. Hammond to to make such uncalled-for remarks about me.' 'You're entirely in the wrong,' was the eager response; 'John had not such a thought in his heait, in fact, he has a a high respect for you. Said he had heard Julia talk of voti so much that he felt quite acquainted. She has your pic tuie in her album. I've seen her photo graph in yours and so recognized it at once.' 'Julia was just the dearest and sweet est girl in school,' responded Jessie, with enthusiasm. 'How was she looking,and what did she weart' 'I couldn't tell you a thing that she wore; though I knowthat it was all ery stylish and wonderfully becoming. As to her face, it is very interesting anil at- ti active. Out not so pretty as yours. 'lliats because you are so partial to me, loin,' said .leosie, lauglnng aim blushing. 'Julia was always called a great deal the prettiest tit school.' She is certainly very ngreeahle. And I must say that John and I are both very fortunate in our sisters. She sent you more kind messages than I can remem ber; made ine promise tohiingyou with me iho next time I came to the city.' Tom was careful to keep his word, taking his siter with him the next time lie went to New Yoik for the purpose ot spending a tew weeks with her olel schoolmate. John and Tom weie hon estly glad to see e.eh other, mid as for the two gills, they wore delighted with the opportunity to renew their sehoolday tiiemlship. Altugether it was a very pleasant and happy party. This being Jessie's first . isit to New York, John and his sister formed vari cms plans for the enteitainment of their guest, some of which weie eaiiitd into execution during the period of Tom's stay which was limited. Now Jessie had not only a warm, grateful heait, hut was very deiiionstia tivein her affection, and she was far fioin satisfied with her brolher's bearing towaid their fair and lovely hostess, of whom she was so affectionately fond. '"J'is nothing in the woild but shyness,' she said to herself; 'lint it looks like cold ness and inattention, anil 1 wouldn't have Julia think ill of Tom for tho woild, I must give him a hint.' Jessie gave her brother a strong hint the fust time they were alone together. 'You know, Tom, dear,' she said, there is no one, generally speaking, that I would so soon have for iny eseoit as you; hut now that we are both visiting a lady fiiend, it is dil'feient. Julia is do ing all she can to make my slay with her pleasant, and I want you to be just as polite and attentho to heraspossi sibie.' Tom fell in very readily and cheerful ly with his sister's suggestion, not onlv giving her no further cause to find fault with him in this respect, but much for approval. He became Julia's psemt upon all and eveiy occasion, John pel forming the same fiiendly olllee for Jessie, and veiy satisfaetoiily us far as appearances iudi cated. Heretofore Tom's stay in the city nev er exceeded a week; now it was extend ed nearly three. Then business obliged him to return, leaving his sister, at Jul ia's eager requosi, to leniain a while longer. I'll be home in two weeks,' said es sie as Tom kissed her good-bye. Jcssio honestly intended to keep her word, too, but instead of doing so her May piolonged week after week, till it amounted to neatly a month, the days passing so swiftly that it was only by au effort of the memory that she could bring herself to believe that it was half that time. When she did return wo aro compell ed to state that she left tho most valua ble) part of herself behind. When or how her heart had been wiled away from her Jessie could not have told if she bail tried, though possibly John might, who was tho person chiefly at fault in the matter, if fault it could ho called Ho had offered her his own heart in return, which,if not a fair eqivalcnt, was ceitain ly the best he could do. John was such au eager and ardent suitor, overruling so completely all her objections, that it was only when Jessio was seated in tho cars, on her way homo that she began to reflect on tho nature of tho pledgo nhii had given him, nnd how seriously it conflicted with mother and t-ai Her promise. Tho nearer he got to ! Ill' 1880. her destination tho nioru uneasy she became. 'I don't know what Tom will say V was her inward rellcctioii. 'i ve treated the poor, dear fellow shamefully every way. There he's been taking his meals al the hotel all these weeks, and liv ing nobody knows how. And now I've almost promised John I'll leave him altogether.' .Now John was on the same tram though Jessie was ignorant of it, being altogether too good a general not to fol low up his advantage. When the train stopped at Cedarville he was careful to remain out of sight until Jessie had left it. Not being expected on that train Jessie found no one waiting for her at tho station, and so took the most direct way home, meeting Tom at the door. Having wrought heiself up to a pitch of remorseful tenderness. Jessie threw her arms around her brother's neck and burst into tears, then, having bestowed upon herself a variety of epithets of a far from complimentary nature, she ended by declaring that 'she was never half so wretched in her life.' The thoughts that were uppermost in Tom's mind made li'mi ascribe his sister's otherwise unaccountable words and con duct to only one source. Ho looked great ly perplexid and troubled. '.My dear Jessie, if you only knew how much it grievis me to give you any pain. I would rather it hud been left to me; but now that all is known let us tilk the mat ter over calmly. Julia knows oljour com pact, and how I would naturally feel un der the circumstances, and I must say that I consider it a stiong proof of her regard for my happiness that she should have wiittcu about you so frankly ami kindly.' There were no tears now in the Hash ing eves that were d'n ected towaid the speaker. 'Has Julia been writing to you about me!' 'Ceitainly. Iliad n letter from the dear girl yesleida). If it were intended fin ally other eye but mine I would like to have yon read it. She sneaks of von w ith so much nlfcctinn I infer that vou had a lalk hefoio vou left J' '1 never said a word to heiyind I don't consider that she had any business to write you about it at all. 1 haven't for gotten my promise, neither. I tolel John that I would never consent unless you consented too.' Tom looked at his -ister's flushed face in perplexity and atniuemout. Of course, I consent. IIoiv else could any such question arise Pet ween us! It is your consent that is needed, or, rather your release to me of the promise I made you ' inn mean voitr release tome ot the promise I made you!.' '1 mean nothing ot the kind, though, of course, that would foilow. Julia has copscientous scruples about giving me a decided answer until I have talked to you and won you over.' 'Almost exactly what I said to John.' 'Hut 1'ain not talking about John, hut Julia.' 'And I'am not talking about Julia, but John!' laughed Jessie,ou whose befogged mind a light suddenly broke, and which sent the blood in crimson waves to the temples. Here she caiiL'ht a glimpse of John coining up the walk. Knowing what his errand was she escaped by one door while he enteied by another, miming up stairs to her own loom. he obeyed veiy cheerfully, however, the summons which reached her a few minutes later. Tom irit her at the door,his face wear ing a very smiling aspect as he led her up to their guest. 'John and I have made arrangements, Jessie, which your presence is needed to ratify. I have promised that if he will give me his sister that 1 will give him mine.' That neither Jessie nor Julia refused to iiilify this plulge.tlie double wedding : that followed affoids the most satisfact ory proof. The utmost hiumriny exists between the two fniuilies.iiow so happily united. In their fieoiienl inteiehange of visits Tom and Jessie often laughingly allude to their compact and 'how it was kept.'

The In stitution of this festival is attributed by tho spin ions Decretals to Telesphorus, who flourished in the region of Aiitoiiius fins (lUS 101 A. I).), but the hist cor tain traces of it are found about the time of the Kmperor Uoininudiis (lbO lt)i A. D.) lu the region Dieletian ('JSl .It),) A. D.) while that ruler was keeping coin t at Nii'oinedia, lie learned that a multitude of Christians were assembled in the city to celebrate the hiilhdny of Jesus, and having ordcied the church doors lo be closed, and stt fire tothe biiilding..inil all the worshipers pciish ed in the flumes. It does not appear, however, that there was any uniformity in the peiiod of observing the nativity among the eaily churches; some held the festival in the month of May or April, otheis in January. It is nevertheless al most certain that the I'.'dh of December cannot be llie nativity of the Saviour, for it is then the height'of the rainy season in Judea, and .shepherds could hardly be watching their flocks by night on the plains. Christmas not only became the parent of many later festivals', such as those of the Virgin, but especially from the "dh to thu Sth century, g.itheicd round il, as it were, several other leslivals, partly old and pattly nuw, so that what may ho termed a Christinas Cycle sprang up, which surpassed all other groups of Christian holidays in the manifold Holi ness of its festal ii liiges, and furthered, more than any other, the completion of the orderly and systematic distribution of church festivals over the whole year. Not casually or arbitrary was thu festival of thu Nativity celebrated on the B.'ith of December. Among tho causes that co-operated in liung this period as the propel one, peihaps tho most powerful was, that almost all the heathen nations regarded the winter-solstice as a most im poitaut point of the year, as the begin ning of llie renewed life and activity of the powers of nature, and of the gods, who were oiiginally merely the symbol ical personification of these. In more northerly countries, this net must have made itself peculiarly palpable hence thu Celts ami Germans fronr the oldest times, celebrated the season with the jieatest festivities. At the winter-sol stice, the (teriiians buhl their great ule feast (see Yule), in commemoration of the return of tho fiery sun wheel; and be lieved that, during the twelve nights reaching from the 2."th of December to the Oth of January, they could trace the personal movements and inteitereiiees e.n earth of their deities, Odin, Uerchta. ifcc. Many of the beliefs and usages of the ihl liermans and also of the Honians re lating to this matter, passed over from heathenism to Cluistianitv, and have paitly survived to the piesent day. lint the church also sought to comh.it and banish and it was to a huge extent suc cessful the deep-rooted heathen feeling, by adding for thu purification of the heathen customs and leats which it re tained its gradually devised liturgy, besides dramatic representations of the birth of Christ and the first events of his life. Hence sprung the so-called 'Man ger songs,' and a multitude of Christmas carols,as well as Christmas elraiiias,whicli. it certain times anil places deixenrated into farces or Fools' Feasts (q. v.) Hence originated at a later period, the Christ- tiees, or l liristmas trees, adoined with hts and gifts, the custom of reciprocal presents, and of special Clui-tinas meats ami ifislies, such asl hiistmas rolKcakes and currant loaves, dtiiutilincs.
