A vIsrT PROM 81. NICHOLAS.

ny PROFEssoH MOORE.
Twas the night before Christmas when, all thro'
the house,
Not creature was stirring not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-p pums danced through their
heads;
And mamma in her kerchief and in my cap,
Had just nestled brains for a long winters nap:
When out on the lawn there such clatter,
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away 70 the window flew like FASH
= Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his courseIs they came,
And he whisted and shouted and called them by
l4 name:
''Now, Dasher now, Dancer now, Prancer now,
VixenI ~
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donder and Blixen /;
10 the top of the porch to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash AWAY, dash away all ~
AS leaves that before The wild hurricane fly,
When they meetwith an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the house-f6p the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and ST. Nicholas too.
And then, in twinkling, heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof
As drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with bound,
He dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
And his clothes all tarnished with ashes and
SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he look'd ike pedlar just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they tinkled; his dimpes, how
merryf
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like cherry
His droll little mouth was drawn up like bow,
And the beard his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like wreath
He had broad face, and little round belly,
That shook, when he laughd, like bowl full o.
jelly
He was chubby and plump; right jolly old elf;
And laughed when saw him, in spite of myself
A wink Of his eye, and twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings then turned with jerk
And laying his fingers aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose,
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of thistle
But Iheard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all good night

From the Forget-me-Not for 1888.
THE PHRENOLOGIST.
nj n. sunI4oN MACKENZIE, L. 1. D.

RABELAIs, that truest of all true histori-
ans, relates that Gargantua, when youth,
found employment in setting cows to catch
hares, in carrying water in sieves, in fish
ing for whales in tea-cups, in shoing gos-
lings, in hunting for needles in haystacks,
and such profitable and pleasant occupa-
tions. What Guargantua did in youth,
Professor Richer, of the University of Hell
delberg; pursued in age--that is, his pur-
suits, If not exactly the same, were of a
similar busness-like and philosophical ma
ture. A great man was the Professor!
How he became Professor no one knew
how he continued in that capacity every
one wondered. His duties consisted in the
receipt of handsome income, paid quar-
terly. 1t was necessary, in 1917, that the
students should have certificates of atten-
dance on his lectures on the Philosophy
of the Human Mind, as part of their carri-
callstna; so they paid the fees-and did not
hear the lectures. Thus the Professor had
asinecure.
A venerable youth was he-on the shady
side of seventy. He knew no language
but his own, and that not very well; but
his essays in the Heidelberg Mercury were
well sprinkled with Greek e. Latin extracts
Conveyed from huge "Dictionary ofQuo-
tations." He had commenced life. as a
spectaclesmaker; but skill he had none, so
he turned Professor. He ever had some
hobby: now, he would give lecture on
swimming, TO the effect that little boys
should practice on dry land, by aping the
motions of frogs, and not go into the wa
ter till they had adequate skill, nor even
then unless they wore k-jackets Of his
own inventions: anon he would wax garru-
lous, if not eloquent, upon the mystery of
making a top spin on clean plate for half
an hour at time! Thus scientific and
practical were all his experiments. Oflate
he had been seized with passion for Phre-
nology, which at the time above indicated,
was becoming popular in Germany. After
twelve months muding and muddling, (for
he was rather damp soul) he hit upon
the wonderful idea that, as the character
and conduct Of human beings depended
upon the size of the bumps of their respec-
tive and respectable skulls, the character
could be fixed, and the conduct mainly gui-
ded, by eIevating or depressing, bringing
forward OF reducing, the necessary "or-

ing askance with a fearful feeling at the scull
upon the table.
"Now," said the Professor, "begin with
the affective organs. Let me judge what
sort of wife she will make"
But it was not Ernst's game to speak of
them as they actually were, he thus cata-
logued them Combatliveness, large-De-
structiveness, full-Amativeness small
Philoprogenitiveness none ~
Hold!' cried the Professors this will
never answer. We must subject her to
my experiment. This, said he, turning 10.
Madame Annette, 'this is only applying my
compress and tourniquet to reduce Destruc-
tveness and Combativeness, and using my
portable air pump and exhausted receiver
to develope Amatiyeness and the other mat
rimonial organs. The double apparatus
does not weigh more than forty pounds,
and she will have to wear it, day and night,
for no more than twelve-month.0 We may
as well apply them at once-Madame, will
you cut off your neice's hair, to facilitate
the developement and depression !"
Madame Anpnette Won Pichler, unfortu-
nately for the advancement of science, no
sooner comprehended the nature of his pro-
position than she quietly threw the mapped
scull through the window--ani, calling up
her servants, gave such decided orders for
the house to be cleared of all the rubbish
las she irreverently called the Professor and
his cargo,) that this eminent man ran out of
the domicile, and made the best of his way
back to Heidelberg, where he might be seen
TO this day, if had not died on the 1st of
April, l8IS-the anniversary of his birth.
'There!' exclaimed Madame Annette,
'there the man is mad, and | had rather
you had lost forty fortunes than gain such
loss as that old creature. Never mind
Caroline though your cousin has turned
up, and takes your fortune from you, there
is enough left of mine for both of US. But
oh, that beautiful wedding dinner!-that will
be all spoiled"
Suppose we prevent it, Madame. If
you read this order from the Emperor, you
will see that |, whom you have known as
Ernst Mannheim, am the very cousin who
was to rob Caroline of herfortune. IfIdo,
it is only to make her mistress fit, and give
her the title Of Countess Won Fugger.'
TO so sensible proposition, involving
the certainty that the dinner would, after
all, be consumed by wedding party; Ma
dame Annette could offer no objection.
The wedding took place that evening
Ernst had given invitations to all his friends,
and before supper sketched for his bride and
them the most striking incidents of his life
We regret that these "moving incidents by
flood and field" are much too long to give
at present.

1--WE must avoid this marriage!" said the
maiden, with smile.
"7Hdt | have arranged, lady-bird!
have seen him, spoken to him, and he
seems to make you the victim of his great
experiment in plhenology."
''Phrenology! and what is that!'
"Na bonnie et belle Caroline, it means
the knowing what's in the head from mere
ly looking at the outside. A Phrenologst
thinks that the mind is in the brain, SO that
there is no use for the heart, except to
send out blood through the arteries and get
it back through the veins. He does not
believe, as you and do, that hearts were

Let ransomed man take up the song,
And swell the chorus loud and long,
For Deaths strong bars are riven
Infinite Mercy formed the plan,
Thus to redeem rebcllious man;
For this was JESUS born;
His heavenly Father to obey,
He left the radiant realms Of day.
On this suspicious morn.
Oh could've catch the thrilling strain,
That, floating DER Judea's plain,
Announced lMMANUEL's births
When the blest star DER Bethlehem stood,
And poured in living light its flood,
To bless the sons of earth.
Let the loud anthem pierce the sky
"All glory be to God on high
And peace pcrvade the earth;'
Let our glad voices Join the strain
Which echoed through the seraph train,
Who sang the Saviour's birth
may this cOnsecrated hour
Breathe in our souls devotons power
And oh, thou Heavenly Dove,
Eternal Spirit fire each heart,
To bear an humble fervent part,
