And his clothes were all furnished with

A bundle of toys was flung on his back, -

His cycs--how they twinlllcd his dimples

His checks were like roses, his nose like u

Ills droll little mouth was drawn up like a

And the beard of his chin was as white as
the snow.
The stump of Il pipe he held tight in his
teeth,
And the smoke it encirclcd his head like a
wreath,
He had broad face, and little round
And though rubicund was no lover of
He was chubby and plump, right jolly
old elf
And laughed when I saw him in spite of
myself.
\ wink of his eye and twist of his head
Soon gave me to know that had nothing
to dread
He spoke not word, but went straight to
his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned
with jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a
whistle,
And away they flew like the down of n
thistle;
But heard him exclaim, ere he drove out
of sight,
merry Christmas to all, and to all a good
night" Dec 9-2t
