Christmas in Norway.

In the mountain districts the day is
kept with hearty hospitality. All work
is suspended for thirteen days. The en-
trance of every house is decorated. and
the walls of the kitchen are roughly
adorned with gaudy pictures, fantastic
ally painted in water colors. Through
out Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
the merry making is entirely domestic,
restricted to the members of each house
hold. Not even q friendly visit is paid.
On the following days the neighbors as
semble at each others houses by turns,
for carousing. No regular meal is pro
vided, but open house is kept the tables
richly spread for all comers No stran-
ger is permitted to leave the house until
he has partaken of the strong Yule ale.
which is served up in true Norwegian
fashion, cask following cask in rapid sue
cession. On these occasions the servants
sit at the same table with the host, his
wife and family. All are dressed in their
gala attire of rich colored cloth, trimmed
with gold and silver braid, the women
wearing caps and aprons Of brilliant
hues.

"Well," replied Uncle Bob, 81 may
as well come to the moral of my story
1t was myself, dressed in bears skin,
that carried off your aunt and frightened

The little ones clapped their hands

''Now hang up your stockings for

Bob, setting down his listeners and
going across to plant a kiss on Aunt
Katie's ruddy cheek.

CHRISTMAS MELODIES.
PICCOLA,s PRESENT.

Poor, sweet Piccolai Did you hear
What happened TO Pieoola, children dear3
It's seldom Fortune such favor grants
As fell to this little maid Of France.
Twas Christmas time, and her parents poor
Could hardly drive the wolf from the door,
Striving with povertyb patient pain
Only to live till summer again.
No gifts for PiccolaI Sad were they
when dawned the morning Of Christmas day;
Their little darling no Joy might stir,
81. Nicholas nothing would bring TO herl
But Piec0la never doubted at all
That something beautiful must befau
Every child upon Christmas day,
ana 50 she slept till the dawn was gray.
And full of faith, when at last she woke,
She stole TO her shoe a. the morning broke;
Such sounds OF gladpess filed the air,
Twas plain St. Nicholas had been therel
In rushed Piccola sweet, half wild;
Never was seen such joyful child
- See what the good saint broughtl" she cried,
AND mother and father must peep inside,
Now such a story who ever heard2
There was little shivering bird
A sparrow, that in the window flew,
Had'crept into Piccola's tiny shoel
- How good poor Piccola must have beenl
She cried, as happy as any queen,
Nhue the starving sparrow she fed and warmed
And danced with rapture, she was 50 charmed.
Children, this story 1 tell you,
OF PiccOls sweet and her bird is true
In the far off land of France, they say,
Still do they live to this very day.

THOSE CHRISTMAS BILLS.

Those Christmas billsl those Christmas biIlsi
How many heart with anguish Ellis,
hen knocks, and rings, and postmen's feet
Make echoing noises through the street;
And passing round from door to door,
Leave horrid notes which thus "implore
Your kind attention; please 10 pay;
Our books are closed on New Years Day"
The wine we bought is all used out
And left no trace Except the gout),
Yet port and sherry, pale and brown,
In hldeous columns are put down.
The butcher, tool 1t can't be that
SO many joints of lean and fat
Were all consumed within this house;
Which cook asserts would starve a mouse.
I'll not believe it, nor that tea
Could such a source Of ruin be.
And surely this can't be the price
OF figs and almonds, prunes and spiceI
We have MT lived on lard or cheese
let rows Of figures stand for these,
And here's the draper! Now my wife
Has gone in debt, I'll bet my life.
If Eve in Eden stole the fruit,
At least she wore no Elken suit,
And Adam had no bills of hers
For gems, or lace, or sealskin furs.
Oh, happy timei oh, peaceful hoursl
OF making love and tending flowers;
The simple blessings Heaven grants
Good gracious, here's bill for plantsi
I'll read no more, they d drive me wild,
I'll have my own petition fled
We've ridden At the "pace that kills."

With snow In pale volumes by savage winds hurled
The night before Christmas has Wrapt the wild
world;
And now 10 its noises the little ones bark
Where the nursery window looks forth on the dark
While werdly against the black blank OF the sky
Those phAutoms OF snow-clOud pass hurrying by,
The brains of the children shape form after form
Prom out the wan VapoTy whtrl OF the Storm
Huge Hons that ramp; mighty horses that prancei
white wal owing whales OF prodgiOus expanse-
I'm TIA disc srn strange figure, whose back
Il bent by the weight of ponderous pack,
And streaming in front Of him, palmer than day,
The beard of KRIS Kringls like blown ocean spfayi
Alb, happy young dreamers, dream on a. ye VIII
eee merry st. Nicholas trudging TO hll,
Through harsh wiDtry gusts with benevolent tread
The stockings you hang beside mattel or bed
Hug fast your delusiOn, soft dinpod arms
And gain while you can its illuHory charms
Too soon will realitys hand tear aside
The sweet vail Of fancy whose hlaments hide,
Like the bemish, deepSunk IN the roses red youth,
That stern disappointment, life's actual truth =
And yet, darling Iealots content IN your creed,
How blest your fate through the future indeed
II each disenohAntment ON earth left behind
Such q precious result awakening 10 find
That IN place Of your Santa Claus, wrought from
cloud,
Was the love that engirds you, fond, vigIlAnt,
proud
Love eager TO bring ere the morrow shall rise,
New mirth to your laughter, light to your eyes
