CHRISTMAS AT BRACE
URIIHiE lIA LI,.
1 Tuth ..uJ SCireß WASHIStrto.
isviNo.
W hen 1 woke next luoiniiig, it K euied
J as if all the events of the piecediug eveu
| ing bad been u dream, and n.dhiugbut the
' identity of the ancient chamber convinc
ed me of their reality While 1 lay mus
| ing on my pillow, I heard 'he sound of lit
| lie feet pattering outside of the door, and
a whispered consultation. Presautly a
choir of suiall voices chanted forth au old
Christmas carol, the burden of which was:
Rejoice, our Saviour he was bom
On Christmas day in Uie morning
I rose softly, slipt on uiy clothes, open
' cd the door suddenly, aud belield one of
| tbe most beautiful litlle luiry groups ibat
a painter could imagine. It consisted of a
boy and two girls, the eldest not more
than sis, and lovely as seraphs. They
were goiug the rounds of the house, sing
ing at every chamber door, but my suddeu
appearance fiighteued thctn into mute
hucbfulness. They remained tru a mo
ment playing on their lips with their fiu
gets, and now and then stealing a -h_,
glance from under their eyebrows, until, a j
if bj one impulse, they scampered away,
and as they turned an angle of the gallery,
! I heard them laughing in triumph at their
j escape.
: Everything coiispiied to ptodiice kind
1 au.l happy feelings, iu this ntionxhold of
' old fashioned hospitulity. The window of
in) chamber looked out upon what in aum
• iner would have been a beuutital land
(scape There was a slopiug lawn a tine
stream wiu.ling at the foot of ir, aud a
tract of park beyond, with noble clumps ot
tiees, and herds of deer .it a distance
nss a neat hamlet with the smoke from
the cottage chimneys hanging over it and
a church, with its .lark spire iu strong re
i lief agaiust the clear cold ski The house
I waa surrounded wifh evergreens, accord
inp to the Kuglish custom, which would
have given almost ail appearance of sum
nier; but the oioruiug was extremely li'OS
ty the \ apor of thu precediue even
ing huil been precipitated by Ihe odd, and
. overeil all the trees au.l eveiy hla.le nl
grass with its line crystallisations The
rays of a bright morning sun had a da.
zliug enect among the glittering foliage
A robin perched upon the top of a moun
tain ash, that Luu? its clusters of ied her
lies just before my window, was basking
him.tell iu the sunshine, and piping a lew
querulous notes; and ft peacock was dis
playiug all the gloiies of his train, and
strutting with the pride undpraiity of a
Spanish grandee on the ten ace v.ulk be
low.
I had scarcely dressed myself, when a
servant appeared to invite ine to family
prayers. lie showed me the way to a
small chapel in the old wing of the house,
where. I found tlie principal pail of tbe
already assembled iu u kind of gal
lery, furnished with cushions, hassocks,
ami luikic prayer books; the ..eivants were
seated on benches below. The <>l.l gentle I
man read prayers from a desk in tiont ol
the gallery, and Master f-inion acted us
clerk and made the responses; and 1 must
do him the justice to say, that he acquit
ted himself with great gravity and deco
rum
The service was lolloped b_y a Christ
loas carol, which Mr. Bracebgi.lgu himself
had constructed from a poem from bis fa
vorite author, Derrick; and it bad ).t»en
adapted to a ch\Uf |i by Master
ai there were several good
voices among the household, the effect w as
exircmely pleasing; but I was particularly
gratified by tlio exaltation of heart, and
sudden -ally of grateful feeling, with
which the worthy Squire delivered one
:<fanza; his eye glistening, and his voice
rambling out of all the bounds of time and
tune:
"I'is thou that oivwti.t my silitlevUig
he^r|h
With nielli,
Aud giv'.st n;e AVi\s.,d,ile bo.wH-* to drink
Spic'd to the brink
J.ovd, Us thy nlenty-dropping hand
That soiles nty land
Aud iriv'st me for my busliell sow no.
Twice ten for one.
1 afterwards understood that early morn
ing service was read on every Snnday and
saint's day throughout the year, either by
Mr. Bracebridge or soine member of the
family. It was once almost universally (he
case at the sears of the nobility and gentry
of Epglaud, and it
il<4» custom is falling into neglect; tor
tbti dullest observer must be sensible of
the order and sereuity prevalent iu those
households, where the occasional exercise
of a beautiful form of worship in the morn
ing gives, as it were, the key-note to every
temper for the day, and attuneh every
spirit to harmony.
Our breakfast consisted ot what the
Squire denominated tktt# old English tare
lie indulged in some bitter lamentations
over modem breakfasts of tea and
which be censured as «uion e ~ the causes ol
modern eflemiuacy and weak nenes, and
the decline of old English heartiness and
though he admitted them to his table to
suit the palates of his guests, yet there was
a brave display of cold meats, wine, and
ale, on the aideboai.l
After breakfast, I walk s, nbout the
gro.iuds w.tii Frar.k Bracebridge and
Master Simon, as he was ca;le I by every
body tut the Squire We were esccrted
by a number of gentle liitir-upjjs, 'hat
beamed loungers tne establishment;
from the friskiug spaniel to the sUady old
stug hound —the last of which was of a
race that bad been in t. e family time out
of mind —they were all obedient to a dog
whistle which hung aL Master Simon's but
ton hole, aud in the midst of their gam
bols would glance au eye occasionally
upon a small switch he carried in )ii>band.
The oli} u.aujiuu bsid a still mere vener
able look iu the yellow sunshine than by
p„le moonlight; and 1 could not but feel
(lie lorco of the Squire's idea. ILat tbv
fonual terraces, heavily nioul ed balus
trades, and clipped yew trees, carried with
the.tn an air of proud aristocracy.
There appeared to bo au unusual nuui
ber of peacocks about the place, aud I was
making some remarks upon what I termed
a dock of them that were basking under a
sunny wall, when 1 was gently corrected
in my phraseology by Master Simon, who
told me that according to the most ancient
and approved treatise on hunting, I must
say a musttr -:i peacocks. ''ln the same
way,'' added be, with a slight air of ped
antry, "we saw a flight of doves awVi
lows, a bevy of quaiJu, a. herd of deer, of
wreu-i, or craues, a skulk of foxes, or a
I building of rooks." He went on to inform
me that according to Sir Anthony Fiti
berbert, we ought to ascribe to t*ii s bird
understanding mid glory; for, be;y,j prais
ed, he will presently set up his tail, chief
ly iifjainst the sun, to the intent you may
the better behold the beauty thereof. But
at the fall of the leal, when the tail falleth,
be will mourn and hide himselt in corners,

While we wore talking, we beard the
distant toll of the village bell, aud I was
told that ihe Squire wai a little particular
in having his household at church on a
Christmas morning; considering it a day
of pouring out of thank* and rejoieiug for,
as old itisier observed, —
'•At Christmas be merry, u«d thankful
Hi thai
And feast thy good neighbors, the grtat

As the morning, though frosty, was re
inaikably fine and i leai, the ui..«t ot the
lauiily walked to the church, which was u
very old building of gray stone, and stood
neai a village, about halt'a mile iioui the
puik gate. Adjoining it was u b.w snug
parsonage, which seemed t.ic.al with the
church. The front i.t it was perfectly
malted with a yew lice, that had bccii
traiued against lis ball? through ihe
tlell.se foliage ot which. apk-ltiilrS l,.id I.ten

1 bad eipeeled to we a sleek well con
ditioned pastor, such a* is often found in a
Htiug living In the vicinity of a rich pat
roll's table, but I was disappointed The
parson was a little iiiHagre, black look logman
with a grizzled wig thai was too wide, and
stood oil'from each ear; so that bis head
eeeined to have shiunk awiij within it,
like a dried tilberl in it.s .shell. He wore a
rusty ooAl,wilb great skills,andporkcisthut
would have held the church bible und pray

•smaller from being planted in lar"e -hoe

I wa= intoriued by Frank Uracebridge
that the pars..n had been a chntn ot l,i«
father's and had received this lniog al'tir
the latter had come to his estate He was
a complete black-letter huuter, and w.-.nld
scarcely read a work printed in tLe Roman
rharat ter
on reaching the church porch, wt ivund
the parson rebuking the gray headed ae.v
tan for iia ting mistletoe among the greens
with which the church was decorated It
was, he observed, an unholy plant, pin
fane by having been used by the Druids
in their mystic ceremonies, and though it
might be innocently employed in the fes
tive ornamenting of hall < atul kitchen, yet
it had been deemed by the Fathers of the
Church as unhallowed, and totally unfit
for sacred purposes. .So tenacious was he
on this point, that tbe poor sestou was
obliged to strip down u iireat pait of the
bumble trophies of his taste, betore the
parsou would consent to enter upon the
service ol the day
The interior of the church was veuera
Me, but .simple; on the wall several mural
monument a of the Kracehridges, and just
beside the altar, was a tomb of ancient
workmanship, ou which lay the ethgy of a
warrior in armor, vrith his legs crossed, a
sign of his having 1 been a crusader I was
told it was or.e of the family who had -ig
nalized himself in the Holy Land, and the
aiiHic wiuue picture hiicg over Ibe tire
Jllace iu the the hall
Jiuiing service, Muster Simon stood up
in the pew, aud repeated the response*
very audibly, evincing that kind of cere
monious devotion puntnally observed l»y a
gentleman ot the old school, and a man of
old family connexion -
The usual services ol the choir were
managed tolerably well, the vocal parts
generally lagging » little behind the in
strumental, and some loitering Lddlei now
aud then making op fur lost time by trav
£ling over a passage with piodigions celer
ily, aud clearing ruble bars than the keen
est fox hunter, to be in at the death. Hut
the great trial was Ibea uthem that had been
prepared and arranged by Master Simon,
aud ou which he had fouuded great espec
tatiou. I nluckily there was a blunder at
the veiy outfit—the musicians became
hurried; Master ,Simon was iu a lever, ev
erything went on lamely and irregularly,
until they tame to a chorus beginning.
"Now let lis »ing with one accord, ' v. hieti
seemed tu br a signal for parting company
all became discord and coufusiou, each
shifted for himself, and got to the end as
well, or, rather, as soon as he could;
excepting one old choirist, iu a paii
of horu spectacles, bestriding aud pinch
ing a long sonorous nose, who, happening
to stand a little apart, and beiug wrapped
up in bis own nielody, kept on a quavering
wriggling his head, ogling his
book, and winding up all by a nasal solo
of at leant bars' duration
The parson gave us a most erudite *er
muu on the rites and ceremonies ol' Christ
mas, and the propriety of observing it. not
merely as a day of thanksgiving, but of le
joicing; snpporting the correctness of hij
opinions by the earliest usages of the
euurch, and enforcing theiu by the author
ities of Tboopbilus of Ccasarea, SI O'pii
uti, St. Chrysostoui, St. Augustiue. aud a
cloud more of Saints and Father from
whom he made copious quotation-. 1 was
a.htlle at a loss to perceive the necessity
of such a mighty array of forces to main
Lain a point which no one present -*£uU.ed
inclined to dispute; but I »oou found that
the gocd man had a legion oi ideal adver
ycrsaries to contend with; having, in the
course of bis researches on the subject ot
Christmas, got completely embroiled iu the
sectarian controversies of the Revolution
when the JVuitaus made such u fierce as
atiult Upou the ceremonies of the church,
and poor old Christmas was driven out of
the land by proclamation of Parliament
The worthy parson liveil but with tiinr'
past, and knew but little the pre-ent.
