A MERhf CHRISTMAS.
"A merry Christmas to you all"

"a merry Christmas to you all"
Is passing now from mouth to mouth,
From east to west, from north to south
From lowly cot and stately hall.
" A merry Christmas to us allP
Is shouted by the cheerful host;
The windows barred against the frost,
We toast the season, great and small.
y
A merry Christmas! Hush-no breath
Ofrevelry must pierce the gloom
Ofyonder chamber-from that room
The spirit has passed out with Death.
The widow clasps her child, kiss
Is pressed upon its rosy face;
A choking sigh-a close embrace
" A merry Christmas?" What is this7
4" A Christmas party-let us go"
A wand'rer hopeless drops to die;
His brothers needless pass him by,
Half frozen in the freezing snow
A merry Christmas! What few
Remain of those it welcomed last;
Another year has o'er us pass'd
And left us, wife, the only two.
The childish laugh we held SO dear.
The toys that made us once more young,
The infant arms that round us clung,
Have vanish'd with the passing year.
y n
But Christmas merry is--and those
Who strive to make it so do we'll;
For who can ever fifty tell
What comfort from this season flows?
"a merry Christmas" let US bless
The season when our Lord was born;
And doubly bless the Christmas morn
That gave us "Christ our Righteousness"
A merry Christmas to you all |"
Let it resound from mouth to mouth,
From east and west to north and south,
To hubble cot to stately hall.

An Alligator Fight.

+ The New York Aquarium has had
twelve alligators, two of them huge fel-
lows fourteen feet long. When they ar
rived lone day last winter, they were SO
torpid with cold that they appeared to
be dead.
To make sure of their condition Mr..
Bishop, one of the attendants, quietly de-
scended the ladder, and, walking TO the
centre of the tank, seized the big alliga-
tor by the tail. Scarcely had he done so
than most exciting scene ensued. The
dormant reptile at once raised his ugly
head, and opening his mouth, snarled
like an infuriated bulldog. The sound
had wonderful effect on the whole
group, and then ensued battle. Mr..
Coop, seeing that one of the eight-foot
alligatOrs was about to seize Mr. Bishops
foot, called out to him and ordered him
to leave the tank. He complied rather
unwillingly, for it was evident that
trouble was ahead.
The alligator, who had been deemed
dead, became very lively, and lashed his
tail in vengeful mood. Happening to
strike one of the nine-foot gentlemen, the
latterwas enraged, and swinging round
like lightning, and with fierce snarl, he
sought issue with his old antagonist
Both of the reptiles closed, their jaws in
terlapped, and the struggle that ensued
was fearful one.
Two of the smaller ones followed suit
and began fighting on their own hook.
Blood flowed from the jaws of the two
larger ones, and a general commotion
was observable among the whole lot.
The visitors gathered round the tank,
and viewed the battle with deep interest.
All four of the combatants we're evidently
warmed up to their work, and their con-
tortions were frightful. Finally, Prof.
Butler decided to have stream of cold
Croton water thrown on the fighting alli-
gators.
This acted like charm, for the sud
den dash of ice-cOld water was evidently
distasteful to the brutes, as their jaws
relaxed and they separated. But it was
only for moment, for scarcely had the
hose been taken down before the largest
pair began lighting again. This time
water had no effect and as one of the al
ligators had seized his antagonist by the
fore foot and was slowly tearing it off,
more desperate measures we're deemed
necessary. Mr.. Bishop accordingly re-
entered the tank, armed with long iron
crowbar.
Cautiously pushing aside two or three
of the smaller ones, he made his way to
the center of the enclosure, and, by main
force, pried open the monsters jaws, thus
releasing the wounded one, who was glad
enough to swing himself clear of danger.
