THERE is 10 be an arrival extraordinary in
our city shortly. Hundreds of young ears
listen for the jingling of his sleigh bells.
Hundreds of bright eyes dance in glee ~ they
talk about the probability OF his coming and
the spoils wherewith he shall be laden. Hun
dreds of little folks are already awaking un-
wontedly early of mornings to note if he has
not already come during their sleep. Little
feet patter to the hearth TO see If there be
any traces of that wondrous little sled tina. is
driven down all chimneys. and that. being so
small, can carry SO many and so varied gifts.
Master Bright Hopes is certain that the arri-
val extraordinary will bring him a pair of
skates also hand-sled, and he thinks very
likely gun. Miss Cherry Lips just as con-
6dently looks for doll, and candy and new
hat Well, we hope he will bring him. But
my pretty little red checked listener, land It's
to you we are talking-pa and ma may slip
this and take something more substantially
We expect you had better tell mother or father
some of these evenings, and shortly, too,
just what you wish Santa Clans shall bring
you. They don't say anything about it, but
we have always thought they had some way
of seeing that jolly old giver of good gifts and
whispering in his ear the wants Of Charley or
Birdie" 1t may be that we are wrong in this
and that he shrewdly guesses the wants of
every good little boy and girl. Still, you had
better. this very evening, pull ma 8 head down
to you and tel your Christmas wishes. Thus,
- she remember how earnest for the nonce
aRe the wants Of childhood, aud how yusii IN
expense may farniah cheer and plsassrs tsa
young heart which viii be better in the after
and sterner life, for kindly memories of
childhood, she will see to it that Santa Claus
shall not forget you in this next yearly
