The Slistletoe-lls History and Mystery. Tlie mistk'loc, itn cmlilvin ol friend hliiji nml social liiijiiiicss, is employed ut Cliristiiins tiino to minouiit-o to nil wliom it may concern tliat ntiiinonitics nro nt nu end, nnd tlmt pence nnd good will with nil the world are to uglier in the new year. The custom of "kinf ing under the mistletoe" is very nn eient, nnd is founded on tho legend of Haider, the I'hosliit Apollo of Scandi navian mythology. The tale Bays that Haider once drenmpt n dream, a dreadful dream. He dieamjit that he was going to die, and was so frightened, that lie started from his bed, mounted tho swiftest cloud-steed, and rode full gallop to his mother. Ills mother's name was Fri gn, the Venice of YullmUn, very beau liful, and brimful of tho milk of love. When Friga heard the dream, she was no less nlarmed than her son, nnd instantly told her husband, tho great god Odin, tho Jovo of Northern dei- "ties. What was to bo tumor viiw evidently thought that tho dreams ol gods did not nrise from indigestion, but wcro sent by tho Fates, us hints and warnings of what they were going to weave in 'the web of destiny. So, Odin issued his royal ukase or procla mation, commanding "everything that springs from fire, nir, or earth, and wa ter,"to appear without delay before his Serene .Majesty of Vanhalla. Every tree and river, every btono nnd star, every beast and bird, the nir that stirs up the gales, the clouds that launch forth lightning, the firo that burns, the sea that wrecks, and nil the host of Heaven obeyed tho summons. Tho mighty Odin sat ou his cloud, throne, under tho shade of the mighty ash, tho branches of which, as every .. uw. cover the whole universe. The River of Wisdom and the River of Foreknowledge floweu at u iwh, a n 1,1. shoulders sat the raven and the dovo to whisper in his ear, when over his godship halted in know edge. It was nn awful moment and, no doubt, every living thing trembled as the king of gods commanded the assembly, on nin of immortal vengeance, to do um to a sinele hair of his beloved ..n raider. Loko was there, tho Spir- u Wickedness, whoso was the era ..ire of the earth, and old Blind Hodor, . -j -fTwh and Darkness. They tnogouv. - -- JvliJlJlliJvil- heard tho injunction, nnd dared not disobey ; but Loke, who hated Raider, cast upon him a most malignant eye, nnd resolved to evade the injuntiou if it could possibly bo done. It seems that a cart and horse enn bo driven through a divine Act of Parliament as well as through n hu man one, soon found a flaw in Odin's prohibition. Tho mistletoe springs not " from fire, nor yet from nir, nor yet from earth, nor yet from water;" it is a purnaitc, and grows on tho oak or ap. plc-trec, but its roots never touch the earth. So, tho mistletoo was not called to tho " storthing," and know nothing ol the injunction. The envious Loke, having ripped from an old oak n branch of the epi phyte, carried it to his cave and cut it into an arrow. He dried it hard in the fire of Fate, aud tipped it with the poison of his own spittle; then going to tho blind god, asked him to make u trial of his new weapon. Hodcr, all.unsuspcctiug ns he wns, felt tho new "quarrel," and Loke, placing him so as to face his enemy, told him to set it to his bow-string. He drew tho bow as only gods can draw, and shot. Twang 1 went the string, and whiz I went the arrow, swifter than thought; it struck the Peace god, who instantly fell dead on the pavement of Valhalla. Tho black ncss of darkness now covered the whole world. Peace was kitlcd by the god of Wnr and Death. Peace was killed through the instigation ot Wickedness. Peace in Heaven was no more. Peace would be seen on earth no more. Hai der was dead, and Loke hud out-wilted Odin. Frign wns inconsolate, the gods nnd goddesics moved about Valhalla like N'iobe, nil tears; the trees wept gall, the stars in their courses wept; Ileav en and earth would have been drowned in tears if Haider could not havo been restored to lifo. Rut with tho gods nothing is impossible, and the spirit of vitality was breathed oucc moic into his nostrils. Tho mii-tletoo wns now given in chargo to Friga, nnd wns never to pass from her nower "till it touched the earth thu empiro olW.oki'." No won der. then, tho Druids tiathereil it m) carefully; nnd you will readily sco why it is suspended on our ceilings to place it beyond the region of Loke. thu enemy of love and good-will. Odin now a mado n demo that n bunch of the mistletoe should bo hung in Valhalla and that whenever any of the god or goddesses passed under it, a deity of tho opposite sex should give the kiss of peace ; and this is how tho custom of kissing under thu mistletoe had its origin. This pretty fable is nn allegory. At tho lull of the year Haider dies that is, tho beauty of vegetation dies nnd the sun goes downward to thu lower regions of the world. Loke, tho spirit of Wickedness, induced Hodcr the god of Death, to kill tho year. All naturo mourns tho loss; but tho gods rovivo tho dead year, tho sun is brought back in his strength, and heaven nnd earth clap their hands for joy. Tho mistletoe was tho arrow that killed Haider, for tho mistletoe is alivo when all other plants are dend with their winter bleep. But tho mistletoe, being tnken from tho hands of tho god of Mischief, nnd placed under the care of tho goddess of Love, is hung on high, m romind lis not to look down, or back. or on tho earth, if wo would live in love nnd friendship, for Loko hag do minion there ; but forward and upward, where tho gods reside, and where a hopeful future is placed beforo us in the commencement of a now year. Rev. Dit. Gutiiiiie is tho author of theso beautiful bcntiincnts: "They say I am growing old becauso my hnir is silvered, nnd there are crows' feot upon my forehead, and my step is not so firm und elastic ns of yore. But they are mistaken. That is not me. Tho knees are weak, but tho knees are not me. Tho brow is wrin kled, but tho brow is not me. This is tho houso in which I live. But I am young ; younger than I was beforo."

Tho trailing shad ows of tho darker nges have gono down to tho deep abyss ol oblivion. Wo tcad it by tho cloctilo light that courses tho desert. Wo feel it burn ing on tho altars of 6ur hearts. Wo trauslato it from tho shining alphabet of thu stars. Aud now wo look back with amazement, wondering how we could hnvo'live so long in a condition of so great natlonnl gloom. During three-quarters ol a century, wo have been resisting tho decrees ol manifest lesttny, deaf to tho appeals of humntf ity, blind to the example of religion, uscusiblo to tho progress of civiliza tion, nnd forgetful thnt in the dark places of tho land, millions of our fellow-creatures were crying mightily to God, with the rude eloquence of tho barbarian which in the nuditorium of Heaven, and having been uttered in thu eaue ol Justice, is mighty ns the declamation of St. Paul, or tenderly moving as the pleading of St. John. Wo were given tip to the idolatry of Mammon. At the North, great ships witli strained ImlN nnd bellied sails, crowded our harbors with the richest commerce ol tho world. In the Knt, wo wcro continually enriched by the driving wheels of manufactures. From tho mighty West, tho gentle Ceres came, with her snowy shoulders laden with full-cured corn. From the South, millions of swarthy creatures brought their burthens of tho imperial fabric. When the sun rose on our national splendors, thousands of stately church es cant their long tapering shadows over tho land. Tho institution of Char ity stood everywhere. Adventurous ships bore away our missionaries to distant islands of paganism; nnd when thu wail of starving Ireland enmo across tho ocean, our hearts warmed with sympathy nnd our eyes overflow' ed with tears. All tho while wo had forgotten that wu wero ourselves oppressors, Irom whom humanity recoiled in horror; that wo were pointed nt by tho ncctisn tory finger of civilization; that relig ion crossed herself when our inhuman ity was named; that four millions of God's people wero held by us in bond, age, in comparison with which the worst despotism of civilization were tho fullest freedom. Under tho sano tion of liiw-M which had become vener able through their very antiquity, we took the child from tho mother, the husband from tho wife, tho father from tho family, nnd sold them to strangers; and when tho poor creatines complain ed or tried to run nwny, we tied them to tho whipping pout; branded them with hot irons; rivited their shrinking limbs together; took tho price ol their blood nnd Mifloriinj nnd despair, and drove them nwny. find forgive us I But wo havo dono all theso wicked things, under tho authority of n free constitution and in tho j.rcseucu of n haughty Hag to which the oppressed ol other nations wero stretching their im ploring hands. " If there is a God nnd that theru i, all naturo cries nlotid In all her works ho must delight in justice." If tho lonely, friendless sparrow fallcth not to the ground without tho consent of its Maker, why should millions per ish, with souls immortal, with all tho faculties for moral sulk-ring, wltli llv in" hearts to create and tongues to ut ter tho most impulsive cniotious of prayer? Wo tnunt ncknowledgo It. Wo must either deny that n living and truo God controls tho affairs of thu uni verse, or admit that tho disaster of civil war has justly followed our na tional crimes. If suoh oppression could not, in tho course of a century, invoke from Heaven somo stern rebuke, tho spiritual state wcro n soulless des ert, and God himself a creaturo of tho inia'dnation. deaf as tho Htatuto of Dagon, and insensible to justice as tho sacred monsters that swim tho Ganges.

Old Judgo Cote, of Texas, was char aotorized by his attaohmoul to tho so ductlve drink called " peaoh and boa ey," and by his hatred of whisky ahd whisky drinkers. White holding court nt Austin, two men wcro brought up on a chargo of a drunken affray. It wns n plain caso; tho row hail iooo.uf-f red in tho open street in open day, and there woro fifty witnesses to thb wholo transaction. So tho two dolinquunti plead guilty by tho ndvico of tho counsel, and threw themselves on tu mercy of tho court. "You nro guilty of. an affray V growled tho Judgo. " Yes your Honor," whined' Ibo of fender thoroughly frightoucd. "Drunk, I suppose,' grunted the Judge. " Yes, your Honor," murmured thi prisoner, with some faint hopo that hav ing been driiuk would mitlgatu the punishment. " Drunk ou ryo whisky, too, I'll war rant?" roatcd tho Judgo In a voloo o! thunder. "Yes, your Honor, drunk on rye whisky." "Mr. Clerk, record a fino of 030 against this man," cried thu Judgo. "Send him tojail for sixty days. I shall fino the next man who is guilty under such circumstances $100 und scud hitu tojail for six months." Thi was poor comfort for tho tiufor tunnto fellow who was waiting his turn who came forward with fear nml trembling. As he passed along by hit lawyer, that thoughtful gcntlumtm whispered in his ear: "When tho Judgo nsks you what you got druuk on, tell him on peach and honey." lie took the stand. " You, too, aro up hero for an afTray," growled the Judge, gnashing hlstee'.h as if he would like to blta tho prisoner at tho bar. " Yes, your Honor." " Druuk, too, I suppose?" " Yes, your Honor, sorry to lay It; drunk, very drunk," Drunk on ryo whiskey, too I sup poso?" "Oh, no, your Honor, I never driuk whisky, 1 got drunk ou poach aud hon ey." Tho Judgu's fenrs relaxed in an in stant. Leaning forward and raising his spectacles, ho contemplated tho of fender with interest and addrcsicd him with something HLo tenderness.

"As I was passing a place called Lavuy Strand on tho road from Cavan to Dublin," says u correspondent of tho Ctrpn ttr1 Chronicle, "I observed tho bot tom of un unciunt cauoo lying on tho chore of tho hike closu to thu road. I immediately went to examine it, and heard that it had been raised about a year ago from tho bottom of tho lako. When discovered, there wasagnuwulo aboo a foot in height ulong tho shies which, when I saw it, was entirely broken nwny. It wns of very rudo manufacture, hollowed out of tho stem of an oak trie. Thu dimensions nro gignntio. Tho bottom is four feet three inches across at ono end, and about tli no feet at thu other; tho length is forty feet. The diameter of the trie could not potsibly havo bean less than soveu feet and a half nt thu root, and ut least fuo und a half at tho height of forty feet. This would al low only a very modcrato bulgo for tho canoe. What could havo been tho uso ol so largo w c-uuoe, mado with great toil, on so stno.ll a piece of wa ter (not containing 200 acres), I cannot conjecture. Theru are two Manila id thu lake, which wero found to bo arti ficial when the proprietor was planting them about ten years ago. Tlio earth is supported by a frame work of enor mous oak beams, morticed into each other, nnd this is supported on piles driven into tho bottom of tlio lako, Somu brass Celtic hatchets, ring mon ey, and four braao awords, woro found nbovo tho I'ramo-work; and there U another canoo of smaller dimensions lying partly exposed and portly in tho mud, near whero tho largo onu wa found.
