For the Corn or.
The Little Folks.

We have at our houso couple Of little fems-
mines, wee bits OF humanity, about five and
seven years, respectively, the light IL not the
glory, Of the household. For some days Christ
mas has been the chief topic of conversation,
tho interest being greatly increased bya cor
respondencs which the little ones are trying
to open with the sant Of that occasion Ths
other day they came in, after a long, private
consultation by themselves, with a letter. caro-
fully folded and inclosod in a pcrfumcd spd
fancy envelope, addressed to Santa Claus. The
letter was written in characters somewhat ro-
| sembling the Chinese or those Of stonogra-
phist taking down the rapid utterances Of an
eloquent orator. At night this precious mis-
sive, attached to a string, was deposited up the
chimney on an angle or shelf In the bricks
Blessed are those who have open freplaces, for
registers are enemies Of Santa Claus and the
children!
| Behold the widely opened, staring, gasten-
| ing eyes, and smiling faces when II was re-
ported at tho breakfast table next morning
that during the night great noise and rum
pus were heard In the chimney. A search for
| the letter was Immediately instituted, but 10
was not to be found. This report resulted In ,
unanimous declaration that Santa Claus had
undoubtedly sent his messenger for the mis-
| sive. Such vote was confirmed, when, the
following evening, an interview with his
lsantship was reported, wherein he acknowl-
edged tho reception Of the letter, and bade hin
interviewers to tell his dear little correspond
ents that ho had vast stock Of entirely new,
curious, and most interesting nicknackeries.
Out of a conversation which followed one Of
the little ones, with tears in her eyes, threw
her arms around the mock Of her mother and
begged, with sobe, that she might never grow
old. Great Is Santa Claus Greater are the
children 1t would be better II, In some
things, we could, indeed, never grow old. n
tho writer, at least. Christmas is no les:
blessing than to tho younger folks, whose vir-
tues are strengthened by the annual return ol
this hest of all the illusions of life. 1t docs
seem pity that the children should ever coma
to learn the fslsity Of this beautiful fancy, o..
in tho words Of another, the waking to knowl-
edge Is ever . source Of pain.
Il. waking, viewed with grief the rising sun,
And f1ndly mournsd tho dear delusion gone"

Mignonnetto.

ny N. >. PAYNE. a.
Bright months ago ne sat by mo.
When warm the summer sun was shinfnA
And clear, s)ft-tintod clouds passed by
With golden fringe and silver lining.
He said In voice so sweet aud low,
In lovers accents free and trne,
"Mignonnette when the cold winds blow
You'll need some one to shelter you"
] felt his breath upon my check; md.
felt his warm lips pressed 10 mine;
felt the bliss could not speak;
Then was my heart made lovesown shrinA
loved too well to give cold word
In answer TO those words so sweet
But now the chilling winds have come,
The rattling hail, tho binding sleot.
But none stands near with kindly face
To shelter me fron the rude blast;
HIS Mignonnette has lost the grace
That In those warm days held him fpft
Though winter wind is hovllng drcar,
And frosted heart and blightcd hope
Are mine, and loyelcs death seems nsar,
M In the dark bllndly grope.
His breath warns now ano,her's check;
Another feels the bliss knew;
Anothet's lips are pressed 10 HIS,
Another hears him vow 10 tr,fe.
And Rose he calls her: yet he taid,
When by my side he used TO ST
Not one among the flowers 70 mo
Is half so sweet as Miguonnette."
as half so sweet as Mignonnette.'
Zen yet the memory gives me joyf
My sorrow can half forget
And think OF days without alloy;
And hope, though hope Is null OF pain.
Since.now forgot, when Tn dead,
The sweet perfume OF Misnonnette
May startle thoughts that long had led,
Wake m'rles soft Of one he loved,
OF one who OF his bidding bloomed;
Whose heart by fondcst love was moved
Till the sad earth her form ontombeA
