THE CHRISTMAS TREE.


On Christmas night, ain orphan child.
Walked trembling through the snow,
With sighs he marked the hurrying guests:
Pass saily to and fro.
With sishs he marked the many lights,
Outshinng far and nigh;
The night was dark and over all
There arclicd starlcss sky.
He heard the sound Of dancing feet
BE heard the music's strain;
Tie saw the shadows fitting by
On many window-panc;
And presently the tapers bcamcd,
From many Christmas Tree
"Iwish," the child in anguish cried,
g y bough was dressed for men'
So passed he up aud down the street
Till guests began to part;
Poor boy. Each kindly word they spoke
Breathcd sorrow to his heart.
Each echo Of their festal mirth
Called forth his tears like rain
"IIl go," he said, "to yonder wood,
And pray to God asain..'
lie laid him down upon the snow
The snow so soft aud white
And scarcely were his cycliis closed
When visions Of delight,
Like Sundawn beuncd upon his soul
" Dear child" an angel cries,
"Comc quick with me, the Christmas Tree
Is blooming in the skirs..'
