GOING HOME TO CLOUD-HEAvEN

Dear. dear. but it was cold or
Christmas morning. The air was
keenlv bitter, the snow was crusted
with ice, and everything was miserably
wintry and chill. Turie Guilty drew
her thin legs up onto her chair, and
sat on her feet with 3 pathetic idea o.
warming them. AS she sat, her fin
gers, though numb and cold, knitted
busily, and her thoughts flew as fast

we? Nowhere, Nothin' for milk
nor sugar, nor coal, nor Jelly, A egg
yesterday for Tim, and nothin' else
Yes, Tim, coming"
The half-muttered monologue re
solved itself into this CHEEKY, sweet
toned "Yes, Tim, coming" The
small feet were placed stiffly down OF
the floor, and Turie was in motion
Assuredly ''in notion" for such com
ical getting over the floor could not
be styled walking, One hand was
flung above her head, one foot tried
to elevate itself to the same height
and the other twisted itself along, and

whirl of a second on ore toe, and

Tim looked down nervously, before
he answered with patient yet child
ishly wistful tone:

1t was well for his tender heart tha

was full of dismay; and it was quite ,

With great show of hustle ant
fuss, she produced one from a stone
jar, carefully concealing that it wa1

and shut the door. All the life dice

Christmas poetry.
FROM ST. NICHOLAS.
BY CLEMENT c. MOORE.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house,
Not a creature W as stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar -plums danced thro' their
And mamma in her 'kerchief and in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter
| nap
When out in the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Isprang from my bed to see what was the matter:
Away to the window flew like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of mid day to objects below:
When what 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 il must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whipped and he shouted and he called
them by name.
"Now Dasher, row Dancer, now Prancer, now
! Vixen;
On Comet, on Cupid on Donder on BIixcn.
/ To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
I Now dash away, dash away, dash away all -
/ As the leaves before the wild hurricane fiy,
When they meet with an obstacle noun, to the
! sky,
So up to the house etop. the coursers they flew.
I With sleigh full OF toys-and ST. Nicholas too
And then, in a twinklng, ] heard on the roof,
| The prancing and paving of each little boof,
So | drew in my head and was turning around,
/ Down the chimney ST. Nicholas came with a
/ 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 flung on his back.
And he looked like pediler just opening his
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.
| And the beard on his chin was as white the
! snow.
The stump OF a pipe he held tight in his teeth.
And the smoke itcncircled his head Ike wreath.
/ He had a broad face and little round-bclly.
That shook when he laughed like a bovi fuH OF
jelly;
He vas chubby, and plump. righ, jolly old elf.
And laughed shen saw him in spite Of myself.
A wink of his eye and twis, Of his head.
Soon gave me to know I had nothing tn dread.
He spoke not word, but went s,iaigh. To his
work,
And filled all the s,ockings- then turned with a
Jerk,
And laying his fingers aside Of his nose.
And giving a nod. up the chimney he rose.
He sprang 10 bis sleigh to his team gave histle,
And away they all few like the dow OF a thistle
ButI heard him escluim ere he drove out ofsight.

words peace that came to her. When
her voice was still, Tim had gone to
find his loved ones, and Turie among
them, little as he knew it.
Corinne learned one day of Turie's
death from a chance witness of the
scene; and through all her life the
memory of the tender, self-denying,
suffering children kept her heart more
fresh and pure than it might other
wise have been. The large white
cloud, with the golden edges, and a
red light showing through, lying at
sunset in the far-western sky-is it

Fresh Anecdotes of Douglass Jerrold.

A score of stories of Jerrold occur
to me, though it is too late to add
any new ones to the record, for his
'swit and humor" have been carefully
collected and published. There are
a few good things, however, which
will bear repetition. ''Nature has
written 'honest man upon his face,
said a person trying to make interest
for his friend with Jerrold. 'sThen
Nature must have had very bad pen,
was the prompt reply. Everybody
knows how he revenged himself upon
a pompous fop, who had made himself
Extensively conspicuous at club din
per where sleeps head was favorlte
dish. Pushing his plate aside, the stran-
head forever''' 'What egotismp' re-
marked Jerrold. This, no doubt, led
up to kindred flash of wit on anoth-
er occasion, at the expense of a litera-
ry friend of Jerrold's who had just Or
dered 'Some sheep's-tail soup, waiter"
sAh," said Jerrold, looking up, and
smiling with his great eyes, s'extremes
meet sometimes" There was an old
gentleman who drove a very slow pony
in ramshackle gig, and he was anx-
ious one day to pay Jerrold little
special attention. The humorist was
on his way to the station from his
house. "Ah, Mr.. Jerrold," said the
old gentleman, shall / give you a lift:''
t4.No, thank you," said Jerrold, 81 am
in hurry" In the country, on a
visit, Jerrold was told, among other
gossip, of a young man in the neighbor-
hood, named UFe, who had cruelty
Tilted his sweetheart. "Ure seems to
be base 'un," said Jerrold. At a
ball, seeing very tall gentleman
waltzing with very short lady, Jer-
rold said, 'There's a mile dancing
with milestone" The author of an
epic poem entitled GA Descent into
HELL" used to worry Jerrold very
much. At last the wit grew irritated
with the poet, who, coming bounding
upon him with the question, "Ah, Jer-
rold. have you seen my Descent
into He'll p" was answered with quick
asperity, 'No; l should like to!"-
That author is a white-headed old
gentleman now, and may be seen at
almost any theatrical '.frst night"
just as, few years ago, you might
have seen Horace Mayhem. "The
CaudIe Lectures" said Mark Lemon
to me, as we were passing an old tav-
ern in Bouverie-street, "were partly
written in that house." ''IndeedP' I re-
piled; "Blanchard Jerrold says that
some of them were written on bed of
sickness" ''That may be" said Mark
Lemon; "but Jerrold was in very good
form, physically, when he wrote the
best of them, in this very stree" =

How to Become Happy.

Many young persons are ever think

their pleasures. They always look
for chances for more ''fun," more Joy.
Once there was wealthy and power

wisdom and piety, and found him in
a cave on the borders of the wilder
