rhe Mod Before Christmas.

Iva the night before Christmas, when all through
the house
Not creature was stirring, not even a mouse,
The stockings were hung By the chimney win care
In hopes that ST. NICOLAS soon would oe taeIei
The children were nestled al snug IN their beds,
While visions Of sugar plums danced through heir
And mamma in her kerchief, and in my cap,
Had lust settled our brains for long winter nap
When out ON the lawn there rose such clat'er,
/ sDrang from my bed 10 see what was tue mattef :
Away 20 the window flew ike Hash,
Tore omen the shutters, snd threw up thc sash.
The moon ON the breast Of the new-tallen snow,
Gave the luster Of midday 70 objects below
When, what 20 my wondering eyes SHOULD appear
Rut miniature Sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively aud quick,
knew "a moment il must be SAINT NICK.
More rapid than eagles his cOursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name:
q Now. DGsher now, Dcuccr! now f'FdAcef. anu
On. CONT on. Cupid! on. Donoler! and Bii'sea !
To the top Of the porch 10 the top OF the wall.
Now dash.away, dash away, dash away adj
As dry leaves that belore the Wild hurricane hy,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount 70 the SKY
So uD 10 the house-top the courscrs they few,
With a sleigh fun of toys-and ST. NICHOLAS too!
And then In a twinkling, l heard ON the rcci,
The pranciug and paving Of each little h0oi.
As drew in my head and was turning around,
He was dressed al in fur, from his head to his foot,
Aud his clothes were all furnished with ashes AID
SCOTT
A bundle Of TOYS he had flung on his back.
And he looked like pedler just opening his PACK !;
His eyes-how they twinkledi his dimples how
merryl
His cheeks were like roses, his nose Ike cherry!
His drOll 4 tile mouth was drawn up Ike bow,
And the beard of bis chin was as white as the snow
The stump Of pipe he held tight IN ms teeth,
And the smoke, il encircled his head like a wreath
He had broad face and alittle round belly,
That shook when he laugh'd, like bowl iuA Of
jelly.
He was chubby and plump q right jolly old elf.
And laughed, when ! saw him, in spite OF myself.
A wink Of his eve, and twist OF his head,
Soon gave me 20 know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight To his work,
And tiled al the StOckings-then turnedw with jerk,
And laying his finger aside OF his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, q his team gave whistle,
And away they all few, like the down Oft thistle.
But heard him exclaim, ere he drove out OF sight,
Happy Christmas 10 al! and % az good HigAt!"
