Ihad told him, Christmas morr-'g,
As he sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stocking
strTei as foil as frT could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With a face demure and mild,
That old Santa Claus, who filed them,
Did MT love a naughty child.
"But wen be good, won't we, moderl'
And from OF my lap be slid,
Digging deep among the dainties
In his crimson stocking hid
Then I turned me to my table,
Where a tempting goblet stood
trimming high with dainty egg-nog,
Sent by a neighLor good.
But the kitten there before me,
With his white paw nothing 10th,
Sat, by way OF entertainment,
Tapping off the shining froth
And in not the gentlest humOr
At the loss Of such a treat,
confess, / rather rudely
Thrust him ot into the street
Then how PENNIES blue eyes kindled.
Gathering up the precious store
lie had cautiously been pouring
In his tiny pinaf II;
With a generous look that .hamed me,
Sprang lie from the carpet blight,
Showing by his mien indignant,
All a baby's sense Of right.
"COme back, Harvey - called he loudly,
As he held his apron white,
You shall have my candy rabbit
But the door was fastened tight.
So lac stood abashed and silent,
In the center of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Fixed on me AMI on the door.
Then, as by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames mount high and higher,
In a brave, clear key he shouted
Like some Iorlly little elf,
"Srnta C'aus, come down here,
Make my moder have herself"
al will be a good girl, Bennie,"
said l, feeling the reprooL
And st-aightway recalled poor Harvey
Newing on the gallery roof.
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they gambolled meath the live oak
Till the dusky sun went down.
In my dim fire lighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair,
And my piay-worn boy beside me
Knelt to say his evening prayer:
"God b'ess fader, God bess mOder,
God b'ess sister, then a pause,
And the sweet young lips devoutly
Murnured, Z. God b'ess Santa C'aus."
lie is sleeping-brown and silken
Lie the lashes long and meek,
Like caressing, clinsing shadows,
On his plump and peachy cheek
And / bend above him. weeping
Tears of joy, oh, uIdefed,
For a woman's crown OF glory
For the glory Of a child. KATE.
