Old santa claus Visit.

Awake dear mamma and do cSn,e and
What Santa Claus lett in my stocking for me:
I've doll aud sofa, AMI many hno things;
What beautiful presents old Santa Claus brings
There's whip aIfd a horse for dear johnny, aud
more,
1t moves like a Hle one, ali over the floor;
The eyes of my dolly, tdey shut and they open,
Much better, yUn see, than tho old one Shats bro
ken
Do, dearest mamma do wake mp and sect
How strange that an Christmrs you sleepy can be !
And sissy pulled out from her own little stocking
tiny bit chair, all cushioned and rocking.
Last night when old nursey had put To bod,
And bid MS ''good night" when cur prayers were
all sad
thoaght would listen, for l wanted to hear
Old Santa CLAUS como with his tiny reirsie@r
1 tried veiy hard my open to keep,
At the tunny old man TO steal a sly peep;
30 looked at the chimney as hard as could
10 watch till the fire had burned up the wood;
For wondered, mamma, how it ever could BE,
From the SCOT and the fire he'd keep the things
free;
So 1 looked and looked as hard as I could
For nursey had told il would be good
He'd come down the chimney, as he came,
And till up each stocking, for lie knows well the
of every good child and the house where he lives,
And t" all that he loves pretty presents he gives.
80 / tried very hard to keep open eye,
But ii kept shutting up fast ia try;
And the first that knew Johnny's loud call,
''Merry Christmas! dear sisters, dear nursey, and
ALL"
Then ran to my stocking as fast as could be,
And found it filled up with nice things, you
1 very sorry indeed ! am so
For wanted to them all dash through the now;
Little Dasher and Dancer, and PrinCer and Vixen,
Little Comet and Cupid, and Donder and BliXen.
Oh nursey has told ma sucl, wonderful things
OF the sleigh, and the deeIi and the presents he
brings
Of old Santa Claus too, and his funny fur clothes
His cherry red cheeks, and his pipe, and red
Where he places his finger, with blink of his eyes,
And away up the chimney in a moment he flies.
oh, dear! don't you think, when I'm older next
year,
l can keep tri,Ee arake to see the reindeer? ORAc

taken:

the Pacific Railroad. II will be seen that
the Governor takes OCCASION I" si'H the i'res-
idcnt pretty hard punch. Speaking "i the
argument thar the authority "f the Federal
Government To build u Pacific Railroad, Is
involved in the war power. granted by the
Constitution. Gov. Wise says:
But this claim of power by that Federal
DYNASTY to construct grand schemes OF inter

eral faith of general welfare, gives us
new light. and appeals directly to the war
power'-that power which, fagrantc bello,
knows no limits. in the sense which he must
mean the war power Ia be. The err
ror is in not defining what is meant In the
power tn declare war, aud to maintain the
common defence. 1t is at all events power
which cannot be appealed 10 for authority

In lS4S, in 1852, and III 1876, the
