And thus, also, fares the village pastor; and all throe things are dooe so heartily, so Joyously, as to be evidently spontaneous, never ceremonious — as much a joy to the donors as to the recipients. Add to these domestic occasions the .public festive days of the Church and'the Bute, and yon can imagine that German lile baa holidays enough.
