THE CHRISTMAS CHIMES.
Oh ! merry were the'elden days when Christmas was at hand,

Aul glorious were indeed the scenes enacted at those times,
nd blythely welcom'il'every heart—the merry Christmas Chimes
The holly and the ivy green around the halls were hung,
songs of love and chivalry were oft by minstrels sung;
titl'd great—the lowly poor—then festive met betimes,
'nd every bosom heard with joy—the merry Christmas Chimes
men love and laughter, joy and bliss, made up the festive scone,
.111eIt.n Youthful dialed with lightsome hearts beneath the evergreen;
4iist group'd around the aged sat, talk'd of the olden times,
counted too how eft they'd heard—the merry Christmas Chimes
The
Poor were fed, the naked cloth'd—and though we must comets,
it"..°* little then of style and taste were shown in homely dress ;
l.ut different 'tis since " one" arose, the king of modern times,
layana's fame extends where ring—the merry Christmas Chimes
Clothing, matchless in extent, in beauty and in shade,
Irugely now for Christmas time are gorgeously display's( ;
1n.." if you would revive again the scenes of olden times,
:it buy a suit of Hyarn's Clothes—ere peal the Christmas Chimes !

For favours shown throughout the year, L. Hyam would express
li' gratitude and heartfelt thanks for all his great success;
Would see commerce far extend, restore the good old times,
111 all should welcome once again—the merry Christmas Chimes
