"The skipping king, who: ambled up and down,

Ir ' was very extravagant`in his mode of keeping
-' Christmas, and is said,' not only to have been
a
a' prodigal in :
respect of his own dress and
equipment, but to have borne the daily ex
'pense of ten thousand men feeding at his cost
during; he• whole festival. _ •
A plot, which was discovered only by ac
cident, proved nearly fatal to Richard's stip
planter, on his first Christmas after corning
to the`throne. The Earls of fruntingdon,
itent, Surrey and Rutland, who had been
favorites of the late king, and who were, by
Consequence, in disfavor ,of Henry, con
spired to seize . the king at. Windsor. Castle,
where he was to spend- •Christmas, and to
murder him under pretence of jousting.
Everything was'arranged,the time drew near,
and the king knew nothing of the danger that
threatened him, till accident revealed, it to him
a few days after Christmas Day. Oe of the
conspirators wrote -to • the • Earl •of Rata
land, in London, to remind' him of his en
gagement; the letter got into the hands of the
Duke of York,' Rutlaud's father ' who ', tn-
Shindy sent it; with his ion,to the.'.king:
Herayaiiiiild not beliege tita _news; till the
Mayor of London, having got scent'of the
same thing, came in' haste•to Windsor, and
prevailed upon 'Henry to;go back with him
to Lonflomi Scarcely had they got ',clear of
the town ere the conspirators, ignorant of the
Earl of Rtitland's ' tapture, came to
the castle, which they occupied with four
hundred men and expressed 'great chagrin at
the king's escape. The heads of the leadera
Was 'semi garnishing the gates of the prin
cipal, towns of England; but the spirit of con
spiracy survived, for in a few' months' time
we, read that "there was Tonnd in the king'S
bedclothes an yron with 3 Sharpe pikes,
slender said round, standing upright, laid
there by some traytor, ,yt. when the king
should have laid him donne, he might have
thrust hiniselfe upon them,"
IV Vas '. at Christmas rime sixteen years
later; that Sir John Oldcastle;Lord Cobham.
- was hung in chains over a slow fire, kindled
on the spot where St. Giles's-in-the-Fields
now:stands, and burned to death, as a pun
ishment for the`compound crimes of heresy
and treason." During the Christmas holidays,
too, hi the yesx 1381, whether on the 21st or
28th December there is a little doubt, died
John Wickliffe, the first bright light of the
Reformation, '
The last Christmas spent by one, who was
foremost in-this country in bringing in the
Ilefonnation---tliat - "stately lord that broke
the bonds of Rome—was an eminently ca
rious one, It was Christmas of the year 1546.
Tim`years before, at the same season,' Henry
had received such a letter from his heart
broken Queen:Catherine, to- "her most dear
lord,. king, and husband,", as had 'impressed
even him,
"and induced' him` to send her a
Inerisage, in reply which death' intercepted ere
it could reach her. Re was now summoned
himself. A. fever,•induced by inflammation
proceeding from an obstinate ulcer in the
thigh, had been hanging about him for some
time, and in the early part of December had
assumed ;a threatening aspect._ He was bet
ter, however,' on Christmas Day, and occu
pied himselt with thoughts as to how. he
might make the throne mere secure for his
youthful son Edward, who was to succeed
him.
The result of his cogitation was that on the
following day he had his will altered in sev
eral particulars, with the view to depriving
the 'towards of any influence over the re
gency, if a regency there must be; and as if
he thought his will might not be respected
when he was not present to enforce it, he cast
abort in hie mind how he might more effec
tually prevent the interference he dreaded.To
a mind like that of Henry VIII., especially
when irritated by fever and by the anxiety -he
might naturally feel at the prospect of "shuffl
ing off this mortal coil," in which he had
done so many questionable deeds, an effectual
way was not long in suggesting itself. The
root and branch of the house of Norfolk must
be destroyed before Henry's own death. With
such thoughts the dying king occupied him
self on his last Christmas Day. As soon as
the holidays were over, the Earl of Surrey,
who, with his father, the Dake of Norfolk,
had been already arrested, was put upon his
trial on a trumpery charge of high treason, in
which the principal evidence against
him, and the evidence on which
he was condemned, • consisted in
the proof that he had quartered the arms of
Edward the Confessor (as he had an heraldic
right to do) upon his own escutcheon.
On the 19th January, 1547, the earl was be
headed. Against the duke, whose long life
had been spent in the discharge of most faith
ful service of all kinds to the king, it was
difficult to get even such slight evidence as
had overthrown his eon. Upon evidence
which could not have stood a moment's in
vestigation in a law court, a bill of attainder
was framed, Henry being afraid lest the forms
‘pf a legal trial might delay his chance of
4ughter till it was too late. The king was
toolll to give his assent to the bill, which wall
barled through Parliament with disgraceful
baste, and the royal assent was given by a
eommission which it is doubtful if Henry ,
ever signed. This was done on the 27th Jan
uary,when Henry was at his last gasp, and—{
so indecent was the behavior of those who
would please the tyrant, and who feared the
Howard—an order was forthwith sent to the
lieutenant of the. Tower to execute his
prisoner next morning. Ere next morning
came Henry was dead,
and the lieutenant,
doubting what he should do under these cir
cumstances, delayed, and the life of the poor
bereaved duke was saved.
''The last Christrdas spent by Henry's
daughter Elizabeth'was a sad contrast to the
many happy ones which had preceded it.
The great queen had outlived her popularity,
and was fallen into melancholy from_ which
nothing seemed able to rouse her. She had
never been the same woman since the death
of Essex; "she sate whole deg( by herself,
indulging •in the most gloomy reflections ;
eery rumor agitated her with new and im
aginary terrors ; ' she could hardly be per
suaded to take any nourishment, and her
temper became such as to render their daily
service almost unbearable to her attendants.
"I found her," says Sir John Harrington,
who was allowed to see her at Chrisymas,
1602, "in a moat pitiable state. She bade
the archbishop ask me if I had seen Tyrone.
I replied with reverence that I had seen him
with the lord deputy (Essex). She looked
op, with much choler and grief in her coun
tenance, and said 'O, now it mindeth me that
you was one who saw this man elsewhere,'
and threat she dropped a tear, and smote her
bosom."' The shade of the Earl Of Essex
geemedare.haunt her perpetually, so much
so, that towards the end of her last illness,
which began at this time, she would not stay
, bed,_ and she answered the_ entreaties of

in
the - lord-admiral,that she would return to her

Itecollectione, too. of the sad writer of the

passed away, and gave place to him of whom
the Duke of Sully •wittily said, referring to
his scholastic acquirements and his kingship,
that he was "the wisest fool in Europe."
One Christmas in his reign-,the Christman
of 1621—is too remarkable to be passed un
noticed,. There had been for many_ months
a violent quarrel between the king and the
House of COMMOIO3, in the course of which
James .• had - given - vent- to those highflown,
impracticable ideas' of his upon ' the 'relation
of kinitte peoplo,__which, put in __practice by
him and his
,son, brought, about the: civil
war. ; Before separating for the Christmas
holidays, -the House of Commons summed
up all the points of the controversy, and en
tered a solemn protest upon its journals
against all the`violent language and the vio
lent acts made use of,and committed 'by the
king. The protest was the manly prototype
of the Grand remonstrance presented a• :few .
-years later-to Charles-1.,- and asserted-that
• 4 the liberties and jurisdictions of Parliament
are the ancient and undoubted birthright and
inheritance of the subjects or England,_' witu
much more to the same purpose. Having
discharged this duty, the members, went. to
their homes for the holidays, and Jame s, .
hearing what had been written, sent. for !the
journal, and,with his own hand, tore out .the
page in the - presenCe of leis Council. -
In a few years the syirit which ,prompted
Such conduct bore fruit, and;we find •at the
end of a quarter of a century from .thisliate,
Christmas, coming round as a day appointed
by "the Houses" for a day of "feasting and
public humiliation," on account of the areat
straits to which the'nation was, brought. We
find within that time an Archbishop of, Can
terbury (Laud) keeping Christmas with a
death-t Warrant for his.
.companion,, and - we
find the king himself (Charles I.) spending
his'last cheerless Christmas at Windsor; a
month before his execution, in Such sorrow—
ful Wise that we must needs , pity him. A.
prisoner in daily apprehension of the evil
that actually did overtake him, insulted by
his guard,deprived of the solace of his family,
utterly broken and cast down, the cause for
which fie liad striven irretrievably , lost, and
his conscience whispering to
-him bitter things
especially in connection with the name of
the Bari of Strafford; no wonder if thnpoor
manielt he was .almost , forsaken by God, to
whom, let us _believe, he nevertheleds drew
near,
and found that comfort which they
ever find who truly seek him.
Had the captive monarch been gifted with
foresight to peer into the future,. hemight
have seen, eleven years onward, a sight which
had gone tar to console him for the evil plight
in which he was. He might have seen Gen
eral Monk at Christmas,. 1659, preparing to
march his northern army on London, bend—
ing his energies to the task of undoing the
work so laboriously accomplished by Protec—
tor Cromwell. Yet had his vision been ex
tended still more, he would, have, seen a
sight to bring all his feelings of desolation
back again: It - was on Christuois Day, 1688,
that James IL, that luckless son of a- luckless
father, reached the. coast of France, a fugi
tive from his oWn dominions. On
that day the „ Parliament, whose jour
nals the first 'Stuart King •of England
had so rudely handled sixty-six years be
fore, presented an address to the Prince of
Orange, begging,him to assume and exercise
the government of the country till a conven
tion of the chief men Of the, kingdom could
meet and decide liowJie might lawfully con
thine to do so as king. It was a sad Christ
mas for James and his family, despite the
distractions which the generosity of -the
French kingso freely providedlor them; but
it was a glorious Christmas Day , for the peo
ple of Great Britain ' who, aelivered by a
bloodless revolution from an unbearable sys—
Lem of government, began on that day a new
life,and started once more upon the career of
independence and prosperity in which they
have continued, with slight interruption,
down to the present time.
Shortly before Christmas, 1014, the first
cases of the Great Plague were reported in
London, and ere another Christmas had come
and gone there was scarce a house in the
metropolis in which there had not been one
dead. The cold weather had been looked
to in vain as a means of repression for the
disease; the spring and summer came, aril
the Londoners fell by the thousand in a day.
On the 25th December, 1739, began what
is known as the Great Frost, which lasted
for six weeks without break. The Thames
was frozen over, an ox was roasted whole on
the ice by London Bridge, and a fair was held
on the solid river.
Let us, in conclusion, notice several nota
ble events in modern French history, which
have occurred at or about Christmas. It was
on the 14th Decembor,l79B, that Louis XVI.
was brought to the bar of the revolutionary
tribunal, and put upon his trial for high trea
son against the state. It was on Christmas
Day, 1799, that General Bonaparte caused
himself to be proclaimed First Consul; it was
on the 23d December, 1800, that, when on
We way 4 the opera, an attempt was- made
to destroy the First. Consul by means of an
"infernal machine." On the 2d December,
1804, the First Consul placed the imperial
crown upon his own head and the head of
his wife; and on the same day, in the year
1852, his nephew, Louis Napoleon, struck his
coup d'itat and emerged from the
rank of president of the French republic
into the dignity of an emperor. Christmas
had Yet something in store for the first em
peror. On the 18th December, 1812, Nit
pqleon entered Paris by night, almost unat
tended, his presence scarcely noticed by the
guards at the barriers. The shitdes of that
half trillion of men whom six months before
he had led to the conquest of Russia stutuded
him in, and he came back the ghost and the
wreck of his former self from that dreadful
battle against Nature and the wantonly
aroused anger of Nature's hardest sons, who
bad combined successfully to overthrow him.
It was 'within three days of twenty-eight
years frorn.this time, that the remains of the
great Emperor, having been brought from St..
Helena, were interred with splendid honors
and a nation's admiration in the Hospital of
the Invalides at Paris. "I request," he said
in his will, "that my body may repose On the
banks of the Seine,
.antiffi n g the people whom
I have loved so well / h paper._
