A visit From santa Claus
By CLEMENT c. MOORE.

Twas the night before Christmas, whel
all through the house,
Not creature was stirring-not even
mouse.
1.-THE stockings were hung by the chin
/ ney with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon wouid b.
there.
The children were nestled all snug il
their beds.
While visions of sugar plums danced
through their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and / il
my cap,
Had settled our brains for long win
ter's nap.
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 fash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash;
The moon on the breast of the new-fal-
len SNOW
Gave the lustre of midday to objects be-
low.
When what to my wondering eyes
should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they
came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called
them by name:
q" Now Dasher. now Dancer! now
PrancerI now Vixen!
On Comet! on Cupid on Donder and
BliXen!
To the top of the pooh, to the top of the
wall.
Now dash away, dash away, dash away
all"
AS leaves that before the wild hurricane
fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount
to the sky.
So up to the hOusetop the cOursers they
flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Mich
olas too.
And then, in a twinkling, heard on
the roof,
The prancing and paving of each little
hoof.

around,

with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head
to his ioot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with
ashes and SCOT;
A bundle of toys he hal flung on his
back,
And he looked like peddler just OPEN
ing his pack.
Ills eyes = how they twinklcd. His
dimples-hOw n.erry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like
Il cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up
like bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white
as Tile SHOW.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his
teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like
a wreath;
He had broad face and a little round
belly
That shook when he laughed like bowl
full of jelly.
he was chubby and plump, and a right
jolly old elf;
And | laughed when l saw him in spite
of myself.
A wink of his eye and twist of his
soon gave me to know had nothing to

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.

whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of
the thistle.

taxes upon them, and getting them in

In consequence of the nature of
this business, / knew a good deal
about the topography of Pennsyl-

roads and its inns. All of the latter

Tamaqua, and possibly it is there

A young and pretty woman, who
was passenger by the train from the
East yesterday morning, had her at
tention attracted to some pictorial
papers which some of the newsbovs
were vending at the depot, and in

marked the dealer in literature. The
woman hesitated moment, and
then intimated that she would kiss
the newsboy if he would give her the
paper. Kissing was goodies that he
had never hoped for under such cir
cumstances, and he intimated his
willingness to accept the proposal,
scarcely thinking she was in earnest;
but kiss him she did, right out on the
platform, and then possessing herself
of the paper, she entered the car,
leaving the newsbOy blushing, grin
ming and yet looking worried, as if

IT is rare that an Episcopal
preacher introduces a political ques-
tion into his pulpit, and when one
does, especially il hebe dignitary
of the Church, the occasion must be
pressing. Thanksgiving Day Bishop
Bedell. of the Diocese of Ohio, en-
braced the opportunity to give ex-'
preston to his views on the public
school question. The sermon was
preached at Kenyon College, Gam
bier, and published by request, in the
Standard of the Cross. The Bishop
argued that there must be common
schools, under the protection of and
supported by the State; that morals
and religion are identical, and must
be inculcated; that the Bible and the
Lords Prayer should be used, and
concluded by declaring that our COM
mon school system is in danger, and
must be preserved a. all hazards

A Mans Chinese Neighbors.

The Raleigh N. G. News reports
that Rev. Dr. Pritchard, Of that city,
referred in his Thanksgiving SER
mon to a conversation held some
years ago between DIR. Thomas E.
Skinner, formerly of Raleigh, now of
Georgia, and an anti-missionaryist.
DIR. Skinner, he said, was soliciting
aid for foreign missions, and applied
to this gentleman, who promptly re-
pulsed him with the reply, 81 don't
believe in foreign missions. l want
what / give to benefit my neighbors."
"Well," replied DR.. Skinner, ''whom
do you regard as your neighbors?'
"Why, those around me" replied
the brother.
"Do you mean those whose lands
joins yoursT' inquired DR.. Skinner.
"Yes."
"Well," said DR.. Skinner, "How
much land do you own?'
about 500 acres"
"How far down do you own" in
quired DR.. Skinner
why, / never thought of it be-
fore, but suppose l own half way
through"
Exactly" said DIR. Skinner. 81
suppose you do, and want this mon
ey for the Chinese-the men whose
land joins yours on the bottom.
The hardened brother had never
thought of that, and gave a good
sum for foreign missions.
