One of the moat barbarous of the persecutions against the Christians mus begun by Diocletian on Christ mas day. A. I). 003, when a church In Nleodemia, filled with Christians, was ordered by him to be set on lire. Every way of egress was barred, and not a single worshiper escaped the flames. Yuletldo In 1000 was n melancholy time In England, which nevertheless always celebrated It with the utmost eagerness, for Harold, the last of tho Saxons, lind fallen before the Nor man conqueror, and on Dec. 23 of that year William the Conqueror was crowned In Westminster abbey. Tho occasion was signalized by the slaugh ter of n hugo crowd of Anglo-Saxons outside of tho church through a mis taken Idea thut they had risen in re volt. Exnetly two years later there was. an uprising of the malcontents In tho northern counties who hoped to throw off tho Normau yoke. William march ed In person against the rebels nnd directed n universal slaughter. His men surprised several garrisons nnd put them to the sword. Neither nge nor sex wns spared, nnd every house in tho dlsnffeeted regions was r.uod to tho ground. It Is said thnt over 100, 000 men, women and children perished on Dee. IKi, IOCS.
