YULETIDE IN AN OLD ENGLISH CITY. monument, desolate and forlorn, against which the cattle rub their horns and browse in comfortable indifference. What a strange procession that would be, which should include a few individuals from the uccessive centuries, out of the concourse that old archway has frowned upon, what strange jargon in the gradual forma- tion of our language, what costumes, what habits Few of the citizens take note of that weather-beaten relic, but Lincoln would not be what she is without it, for it is one of the few monuments of her old-time greatness. The first words to attract our attention as we enter the city are those of two neighbors greeting each other on the doorsteps of their cottages with questions bearing on the all-important Christmas plum pudding, and the mournful declara- tion of one that hers ought to have been made a month earlier. Suddenly the sun bursts forth, and there on the brow of the hill just before us the stupendous cathedral, high over all, like some monarch, erect, immovable, shoots its three massive towers into the sky, revealing its fine proportions in the morning light, which sparkles on the win- dows and weathercocks, and throws out sombre shadows from its buttresses. To narrate the incidents of national importance connected with the history of Lincoln would be a task from which any student might well shrink. In this ancient city is wrapt up a great part of the history of England from earliest times. Roman columns, tessellated pave- ments, and rare coins, some recently unearthed, bespeak its antiquity. Dark, ominous, and threatening, the old Nor- man castle on the west side of the cathedral, once a royal demesne, with its embattled walls, its keep, and its Lucy tower, where more than one royal prisoner was detained, marks the scene of many a bloody conflict during the reigns of Stephen and John. Among the walls crop up quaint hood-mouldings and corbels, mullioned windows, old archways filled with wrinkled oaken doors, gro- tesque heads of kings and devils extruded from moul- dering eaves, the whole covered with ivy and cy- press-trees, and partly sur- rpunded on the south and west, facing the town below, with tall poplars and pines thickly studded along the embankment, in which the an- tiquated crows build their nests and rear their young. Up that steep, narrow hill, on which old-fashioned dwellings lean, like palsiedpeople huddled together for warmth, we fancy we see the pilgrims, at least seven centuries ago, dressed in the self-same costumes described in the Canterbury Tales, wending their way to the shrine of St. Hugh in the minster; while a glance to the east shows us the ruins of the old palace in which King Hery VIII. quarrelled with a cardinal on the legality of divorce. On the oppo- site hill, Cromwell, with his broad, red face, held the citizens in terror for several days, while in pursuit of the rebel army, tying up his horses in the nave of the minster. The city is divided into two parts, above and below hill. The upper part is the retired, aristocratic neighborhood, looking not so much remote from the world as limping behind it, and wearing a proud and haughty air as if it cordially despised the bustle and fret below. As we glance downwards from the summit of the hill, we are surprised at the innu- merable tall chimneys, and understand that the clanking and hammering, some- times not unlike the sound of distant thunder, come from the immense foun- dries which have nearly doubled the population of Lincoln in twenty years. There is the High Street, running right down the heart of the city, with the guild- hail containing the ancient regalia of the public officials, which is now brought out on all state occasions, the mayor wearing a massive gold chain around his neck, pre- ceded by the town crier with gold hatband and mace. To the left is Broad Street, suggesting immemorial horse fairs and crowded with all manner of quaint, incongruous houses. There is the river Witham flowing from west to east, just wide enough for the barges to pass cach other two abreast, with huge corn and seed mills on either bank, constantly unloading and reloading freight, wind- ing its way serpent-like towards the Wash. Grim and disconsolate in the valley to the east stand the ruins of the Monks Abbey, sadly out of place in their proximity to the dingy workshops. To the west is the race-course, resort of fashion and beauty, four-in-hands and blacklegs, within sound of the cathedral bells. As we pass down the hill, a snowstorm sets in in real earnest. The lowing of cows, the grunting of hogs, and the cack- ling of geese are heard on all sides; men and women laden with Christmas provisions, cheek by jowl in the thorough- fares. The public inns are crowded with jolly farmers, quaffing spiced ale and toddy to the dismal scraping of an old fiddle, bargaining for the beasts they have been punching in the market a few moments before. The town crier comes along, ringing his bell and shouting at the top of his voice some public proclama- tion, followed up the street by a crowd of small boys in evident admiration of his goldlaced hat and splendid buttons. the shop windows, brightly decked for the occasion, are monopolized by anxious sightseers. There is a profuse display everywhere of mistletoe and holly. Here are tempting ball dresses hung on models presenting the compliments of the season on their busts; whole dressed hogs, with oranges stuck in their mouths and sprigs of holly fastened around their necks, and oxen, decorated with tickets and rosettes, innumerable toys and Father Christmases temptingly displayed beneath Japanese lanterns already glimmering in broad daylight; nutmegs and other spices bid- ding us a happy Christmas on a dark background of raisins; cakes and sweet- meats, suggestive of frost and snow; and a hundred other attractions in honor of the season. Ladies engaged in labors of love are busily passing to and fro with evergreens and choice flowers, complet- ing the decorations of the churches and chapels. Visitors are pouring into the city from afar to spend Christmas with their friends, and taste the family plum pudding, such as is made nowhere else on earth. As the day wears on apace, the farmers, with faces red and jolly, jog homewards, calling, of course, at the Coach and Horses, on their way. If they overstep the mark this day, no matter; so long as they manage to scramble into their gigs and carts, their horses usually find the way home without being driven. In the evening the cathedral looks like one huge lantern, it being lighted up for special service, at which the first part of
