''Christmas Times.'
Twas the night before Christmas, when
all through the house
Not creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.
The stockings were hung by the Chin
ncy with care,
In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would
be there.
The children were nestled all snug in
their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in
their heads,
And mamma in her kerchief, and l in
my cap
Had just settled our brains for long win
ters nap;
When out on the lawn there rose such a
| clatter,
sprang from my bed to see what was the
matter.
Away to the window flew like flash,
oAC ol'Cll tAS SiuSbClS, tull SuICW up Luc
| sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen
snow,
Gave the lustre Of midday to objects below.
| When, what to my wondering eyes should
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
| reindeer,
With a little old driver 20 lively and quick,
| knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his cuurscrs they
came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called
them by name;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Pran-
Ger! now, Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Dunder and
To the top of the porch to the top of the
wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away
As dry leaves before the wild hurricane tly,
When they meet with an obstacle mount
to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they
flew,
With the sleigh full of toys-and St. Nicll-
olas too.
And then, in twinklins, l heard on the
The prancng and paving of each little
hoof;
As drew in my head, and was turning
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with
Il bound
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to
his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with
ashes and SCOT;
A bundle of toys was flung ON his back,
And he looked like Il pedlcr Just opening
his pack;
His eyes-how they twinEled his dimples
how merry,
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like
cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like
bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as
the snow.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his
teeth,
And the smoke il encircled his head like
wreath,
He had IA broad face, and little round
And though rubicund was no lover of
toIdy.
He was chubby and plump, right jolly
old elf
Aud laughed when saw him in spite of
myself !
A wink of his eye and twist Of his head, !
Soon gave me TO know that ! had nothing
to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to
his work
And filled all The stockings; then turned
with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving Il nod up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave
whistle,
And away they flew like the down Of a
thistle;
Bit heard him exclaim, ere he drove out
Of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good
night. Dec ST.

To read tlresc ardent lines, and know

IT'S curious by-the-by,
How anything is rendered blind
BY giving it an eye.

That such tritling thing could change
A friend into tiend?
Thou art the same, is rendered lame

And here because an is out,

They drove her blind by poking in
An eye-a process new;
And now they've gouged it out again.
And made her crazy, too.
Let's stop and recapitulate;
I've damned her eyes-thats plain
I've told her she's a lunatic,
And blind, and deaf, and lame.
Was ever such horrid hash
In poetry or prose?
I've said she was tiend and praised
The color of her nose.
