LANCASTER OAILY INTELLIGENCER SUPPLEMENT -SATURDAY? DECEMBER 24, 1881.
and let us in their behalf say a word about
the kind of tree best suited for decoration.
Wc have uet the yew, the emblem of im
mortality, here. It is the favorite in Eng
land and Germany, and its shape, its his
tory and itb peculiar green render it very
appropriate. Yew tiees are sometimes
imported for CbiUtmas, but v. 3 will leave
it out of our l.&t. As also no fear the
bprucc, a fine tree much used at the
North. Lautel, bay, greuud hemlock,
crew's feet, holly, mistletoe aie only used
for decoration, and come of them aic
vines meicly. If the spiuce could be
gotten, which it c.inuet except from a
uursci'iiian, ie .should place it first. Its
graceful spieading branches, its excellent
color, its pccuh.11 dioep and length of
bianch, and its well bpaccd symmetry
make it the king of Chiistmas treeh. But
the choke will probably be between a
white pine and .1 cedar, bath of which
make eieiy ye.u our maikets bowers of
cergrceii. Of the two white piue is mere
apt te be of general excellence, but if the
light kind of cedai can be bought, begged
in bei lowed, take it and be thankful. Te
most, pei sons, especially the city-bicd, all
cedaib arc supposed te be alike: but this
i- a gicat mistake. Ne ethei tiee has the
!.ame variety, except perhaps the oak.
There aic ccdAVs and ceding but of five
htindicd there may be five which will bhew
a dark, g!e.-sy gieen, a pyramidal head,
and be soft and line te the touch. That is
the one te cheese, but rarely is the chance
afleidcd. Take next in degtcc if you can
a geed juniper cedar, with daik sgrcen
twigs and guy hemes, never minding if
it is dense ; the limbs when leaded will
bend, 01 il piefencd some limbs can be
cut, out te advantage. Such a tree will
show against a dai k ground all the bright
ness el its decoration ; whcieas apine tee
elten bends its long biauchcs out of shape,
and uieie eltcn still its baicncss has te be
tilled in until it leeks like a mral bclle
evei leaded with cheap . jc well y. And with
the ticc decked, the childicn with spark
ling eyes and g!ud voices ; with families
lcuuiled, uudistmbcd by war or disaster
at home, wc may keep our Chiistmas, the
gcneial festival of the English, German
and Danish races.
CliiifcliiiAK Hi the lee.
It has been said that "whatever happens,
an Englishman will dine." It is certain
that wherever he is, cither he or any of the
ollsheots of the above-mentioned races,
where two or three are gathered together,
will celebrate Chiistmas, and en that
sacred day hcaits, however widely scpa
latcd, will tuiu te the blight home-circle
with love and yearning. In the Arctic
Cucle, amid the spreading cireumfcrcnce
of pitiless suew and ice, our own brave
Kauo wietc in his diaiy : " December 2",
Christmas, Monday ; all together again, the
returned and the steadfast. Wc sat down
te our Chiistmas dinner. There was mere
loe thau with the stalled ex of former
times, but of herbs none. We forget our
discomfeitS in the b'eisings which adhered
te us still ; and when we thought of the
long lead ahead of us we thought of it
hopefully. I pledged myself te give them
their next Cliiisttna-. in their homes, and
tach el us diank bis 'absent friends' with
ferocious zest ever eue-eighlccutli part of
.1 bottle ei Jsillciy the last of the hamper.
Hut if tbcselitaiy relic of festival days
had lest its sp.ukli, ve had net. We
passed Hieund miuiily our tin keys, least
and boiled ; mast bed, onions, potatoes
and cucuinbeis, uatci melons, and Ged
k.uiws what etbei eiavings et the scurvy
sickened palate, with entire exclusion of
the fact that each of these was variously
represented by peik and beans. Se much
for .Meme Chrislmis. What poitien of its
mil th was genuine with the rest I cannot
tell, but there was no hcaitiu my share of
it. Jlyheait was with these far oft", who
were thinking, I knew, of me."
Christinas In lliu Dchcrt.
Oi whether the wanderer bums beneath
the seeiching sun or Kgypt, it is the same
en this one day. Write Prime in his
" l.eat Lire in Egypt : " " That night
was the biithnight. In what countries of
the werid were net Christians singing
caielsas the sun, going wcstwaid, left the
holy twilight of Chiistmas eve with bless
ing en every land. Wherever a man may
be en Chiistmas eve, it is pardonable in
him te give at least one hour te memory.
And if there be net the bread fireside aud
the Hashing legs in the chimney ; if his
wandering lect are het with cteseit Kinds
and his forehead binning with the suu suu
bhine of Sahaia, be will be excused for
remembering with even mere distinctness
the forms el old times en which the blaze
e the Chiistmas leg shines se gloriously.
A few reds from the beat en the sand,
lying down and looking starwaid, 1 was
able for a while te forget Nubia aud re
call America. Able ! 1 couldn't help it.
Voices called te me out of distances that I
did net try te fathom. Eyes looked at
me, but I did net step te think whother
they were this side or beyond the stars.
Lips kissed me, and I never dreamed of
their being ghostly lips, for they were net
cold ; and arms enfolded me in warm em
braces, and hcaits were throbbing loud
against mine, as ene and another of the
beloved ones of old times and all times
Jay en my breast."
Han-. Christian Audtr..-e..'a Clin .tm,:s.
Wc would step here, if deir old Han
Christian Andersen was net waiting. Let
him, if only for his children's sake, tell us
hew he passed tw e Christmascs at Heme,
far from his Northern firs aud snows. "Tlie
fin thcr," held's us, "the Swede, Nor
wegian and Dane travels from home the
louder sings the heait of each when they
meet. When I was in Heme in 1833 the
three nations kept their Christmas eve in
company, like ene family. Songs and
mirth de net agice with the Keman so
lemnity en the Savieurs natal festivities,
therefore we could net be merry within
the gales of the city; but yet wc
did net lese our p!casure; They
let us have a line suite of 100ms
outside the city gates a large Reuse in
the Villa Beighcse, in the midst of a grove
of pines close te the inedei 11 amphitheatre.
We ornamented the sa'oen with garlands
and wreaths. The llewcis we plucked
neni the gaidcn. The air was mild aud
n .11 111. It was .1 China mas like a fine
summer's day at home. We must have a
Chiistmas ticee, a lir tree, as 111 the
Neith ; but here it was tee valuable a
treasure. We must, they said, be con
tented w ith two large orauge trees, which
were sawn from the roots and were full of
liuit, which was net fastened te the
branches, but giew out of them. Wc
wcic about fifty Scandinavians including
seven ladies who were wreaths of
living iescs aieuud their brews.
Wc mcu had wreaths of ivy. The
three nations had subscribed te pur
chase presents, which were te be gained
by lottery. The best prize was a silver cup
with the inscription, ' Chiistmas Eve in
Keme, 1833.' This was a gift from the
three nations, aud who wen it'.' I was the
lucky one. It was a merry Christmas.
New, I am in Heme again this Christmas
eve of 1840. It is se cold for Heme the
lire in my stove will net warm the cham
ber. Every ene is at home ; no one has
thought of any arrangement for Christ
mas. Thought flew far away; it Hew
tewaids the North. New it is whispered
there is the yule tree, lighted up with a
hundred parti-colered lights. The chil
dren exult in sweet happiness. New they
sit around the table at home, sing a song,
and drink a health te absent friends. There
is hilarity in the town ; there is mirth in
the country, in tfic old mansion. The
passages arc ornamented with tirs and
lights ; carpets arc laid en the stairs. The
servants, neatly dressed, trip busily up
and down. The music sounds, the
precession begins ; it proceeds te the
large ball room. O, Christmas is a met n
time in the North. I left my selitaiy
chamber. People flecked te the Church
"Slaria Maggiore. Seme fewlamps burned
; within the church. Men, women and
children who bad wandered mtuer irem
the Campagna aud the mountain sat and
lay en the steps leading te the chapels and
altnrs in tlin Birin siirIrr. Seme of the
peer folks had fallen asleep from very
) weariness, ethers counted their beads.
liie candles were new ligntea. xne
whole church shone with purple and geld.
The incense spread its perfume ; the
music resounded. The anthem an
nounced ' Glory te the New-Bern King.'
The old cardiuals bore the cradle of Christ
en their shoulders through the aisles of
the church, and the people saw a ray of
glory around it brighter than that shed by
the thousand l.ghts. It was as if the
shepheids sang, and as if the angels sang,
aud there canie peace and geed-will in the
human heart."
Se, wherever they may be, of whatever
denomination of the Christian church and
of whatever nation, let there come te them
en tjiis day peace, geed-will and geed
wishes. Adapted from the BaUimert Sun.
