UNDER THE MISTLETOE.

Under the mistletoe, pearly and green, Meet the kind lips of the young and old; Under tbe mistle oe hearts msv be f.een Glowing as though they ha 1 never been cold: Under the mistletoe peace an... good will . Mingle tbe spirits that long have been twain; Leaves of the olive branch twined with it still, While breathings of hope fill the loud carol strain. Yet why should this holy and festival mirth In the reign of old Christmastide only be fonnd ? Hang up love's mist’etoe over the earth And let us kiss under it all the year round.
