THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
Bye. c. MOORE.

Bye. c. MOORE.
TWAS the night before Christmas, when all
through the house, 4 sf ft
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care, -t
In hope that st. Nicholas aoon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their
heads; rT Ia
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for long winters
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter,
| sprang from my bed to see what was the matter (;
Away to the window flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the lustre Of midday to objects below.
Whenwhat TO my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick,
] knew in a moment itmust be st. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whisted and shouted and called them by
name; q X y E.- N-t az ~
9 Now Dasheri now Dancerl now Prancer and
Vixen,
On Comet! on Cupid on Dunder and Blitzenl
To the top Of the porch, to the top of the wall
Howsdash away dash away, dash away all ~
AS AS dry leaves that before the wild hurrcan fly,
so uD to The housetOp the coursers they flew;
With sleigh fun Of toys-and st Nicholas too.
Aud then natyinkling heard on the roof,
As / drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with
bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and
SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had fnng on his back,
And he looked like apeddlerjust opening bis pack.
His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how
merry!
His checks were like roses-his nose like cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like bow,
Aud the beard on his chin was white as the snow;
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath
He had broad face and little round belly
That shook when he laughed like bowl full oi
jelly.
He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old elf
And laughed when saw him in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and twist of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight to his
And filed all the stockings, then turned with q
jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Aud giving nod, up the chimney he rose;
Then sprang to his seigh-to his team gave
whistle, s
And away they all flew like the down OF thistle;
But heard him exclaim ere he drove out Of sight
=" MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL GooI

Sand after that he went and sat near
the two old folks, and told his whole story,
while all the people listened. And to
prove it he took out the square letter
marked Private upon which was writ
ten, To the Great Governor Joriando,' -,
"And years and years after he used to
repeat this story to bis children, and at the
end they would say. Now take out the
square letter, father ..s,. .,.;..
"Then he would take out. the letter,
quite soiled and yellow, and turn it over,
and sigh, and say, 'One thing troubles me
that never saw the Great Governor
Joriandor
"But when asked to open the letter, TO
see what was inside, he would say, Don't
you see it is marked PriYate2'n

had been instructed to disregard the authority of Mr.
Stanton where his authority derived the agent

recognition of Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, by
