By prudent and careful management, each had not only made a living, but had been able to pay small portion of the mort itfiirn mi ihr sineh fit n r.i .f tli.i Cwc year. Joseph had the advantage of his f.iend in possessing abetter location, and though his rent was somewhat hi 'her, the db'erence was more than compensate J by the i:icreased facilities it afforded him. The prospect was decidedly bright to him. If his business increased as il had done, he would be enabled to clear himself of debt in another year. Under this encouraging aspect ho ventured to expend a hundred dollars in ad di.ion to his fluni urc, which his wife inhappiness. The house had been furnished altogether too plain for this progressive age, in her estimation. She was behind some of her friends, who she was sure, were doing 1 o better than her husband. Joseph was a little obstinate at first; but then there was something so decidedly comfortable in a set of studded chairs and a lounge, that he did not hold out in his opposition. He was doing well, and the expenditure would not seriously embarrass him. With a nice new Brussels carpet and the new furniture, Mrs. Weston's little parlor looked exceedingly pleasant and comfortable. Besides it looked as though her husband was prospering in his business.

They called it, he says, the Mother-nylit, or X'oht of Mothers, and probably on account of the ceremonies used by ihem during their vid. But, in fact, though particular portions of this festival may be traced to the It maus or to the ancient Saxons, the root of tlie whole affair lies much deeper, and it is to be sought in fir more remoter periods. It was clearly in its origin an astronomical observance to celebrate the winter sols. ice and the consequently approaching prolongation of the days, as is demonstrated by the emblematic Christmas candles and Yuh'-legs, the symbols of increasing light and heat. These Christmas cat! lies, tho' now out of date, were of immense size, and not a fjw in number, the houses being very generally illuminated uidithcm. The Church, too, a lopt.'d the same custom, but have especi d reasons of i is own for such observance; the Ap s les, as they explained i;, were lite ligiit of the world"; and as our -Savior was also called the ti'ht, so his coming was typified by these emblems.
