Some Of these wells are of immense depth.
In England are some more than six hundre,.

had told him, Christmas morning,
As he sat upon my .nee,
Holding fast his little stockings,
Stuffed a. full - full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With face demure and mild,
That old Santa Claus, who filed them,
Did not lovo naughty child.
"But we'll be good. won't We, modsr |"
And from OF my lap he slid.
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stockings hid;
While turned me to my table,
Where tempting goblet stood,
Brimming high with dainty egg-noeg,
Sent me BY . neighbor good.
But the kitten, there before mo,
With his white paw nothing 10th,
Sat by way Of entertainment,
Lapping OF the shining froth;
And in not the gentlest humoe
At the loss Of suoh . treat,
confess rather rudely
Thrust him out into the stfeee.
Then, how Benny's blue syss kindlsdi
Gathering up the precious sters
he had busily bsch pouring
In his tiny pianafore,
With generous look that shamed No,
sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mein indignant,
All bsby's sense of right.
"Coms back, Harvey" called hs Loudly,
As he held his apron white
You shall have my candy wabbit"
But the door was fastened tight;
So he stood abashed and silent,
In the centre Of the door,
With defeated look alternate,
Bent on me and on the door.
Then A. by somo sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames 60 high and b ishse,
In brave, dear key, he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf
So"sS SAsuSs SoAAo oowu ue CLIuoVys
Make my moder have herself"

Said I, feeling the reproof;
And straightway called poor Harney,
Viewing on the gallery roof;
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frowu,
And they gamboled meath the live oaks,
Till the dusky night came down.
In my dim ire-lighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me,
Knelt to say his evening pray-r;
"God ble's fader- G cd bless moder,

And the weet young lips devoutly
Murmured, .sGod ble IS Santa Clausr'
He sleeling-brown and silsen
Lie the lashe long and meek,
Like care ing, ciinginy shadows,
On his plump and reachy check;
And bend above him, weeping
Thankful! tears-Oh, undeti,edi
For a woman's crown OF glory,
For the blessing of child.
