HOW SANTA CLAUS COMES.

He comes in the night He comes in the night!
He softly, silently comes;
While the little brown heads on the pillows 81
white
Are dreaming of bugles and drums.
BE cuts through the snow like ship through thu
foam,
While the white flakes around him whirl;
Who tells him know not, but he findeth the home
OF each good little boy and girl.
Els sleigh it is long, and deep and wide;
It will carry q host of things,
While dozens of drums hang round on the sides,
With the sticks sticking under the strings.
And yet, not the sound of drum is heard,
Not bugle-blast is blown,
As he mounts to to the chimney top like bird,
And pops down in like a stone.
The little red stocking he silently fills,
Till the stockings will hold no more;
The bright little sleds for the great snow-hills,
Are quickly let down TO the floor.
Then Santa Claus mounts to the roof like bird,
And gides to his seat in the sleigh;
Not the sound of bugle or drum is heard
AS he noiseessly drives away.
He rides to the east, he rides to the west,
OF his goodies he touches not one;
And he eateth the crumbs of the Christmas feast
When the dear little folks are done,
he doeth for US whatever he can,
This beautiful mission is his;
Then children, be good to the little old man
When you find who the little man is.

The whole story soon reached Mrs.
Stewards ears. She knew Jack Dawson
by sight, and when she next met him,
although the honest fellow tried hard to
push by her. she caught hold of his coat
and compelled hlnl to stand and listen
to her fearful thanks. The tears shed
were not all hers, for when Jack moved
away there were drops OF liquid crystal
hanging to his ruddy cheeks.
Four months from that ''Merrie Christ
mas" Mrs. Stewart became Mrs. Jack
Dawson, and every evening, when the
hardy miner returns from his daily labor
to his comfortable and happy home,
Totty and Benny will climb upon his
knees, and almost smother him with
kisses, while they lovingly address him
as "Our Santa Claus papa. "-[ Williams

JUST AS 1T SHOULD
BE,

How strange 1t would be if the roses
Gave their beauty and perfume to spring;
II summer the cowslip and crocus,
Arbutus and snowdrop should bring,
If the strawberries ripened in autumn,
And the birds cnose the winter to sing!
Twould not only be strange, but be sad, dears,
For Pm sure we would scarcely know spring,
II the pretty shy flowers that love her
Did not to her green garments cling,
And summer would seem not like summer,
With no roses their fragrance to fling
To the soft, wooing winds, and no song-birds
To sit in the tree tops and sing;
And strawberries ripening in autumn
Would not taste half 30 sweet as in spring;
So everything's just as it should be,
For Our Father ordained everything.

Deaf and Dumb BARRIERS.

A man dressed in thin summer
wooden suit and dilapidated straw hat
entered our sanctum.
"Si," he said, "you see before you
a reminder of the summers sun, so to
speak. I am not from the tropics,
neither am 1 dressed for enjoying all the
comforts Of trip in search of the North
pole. Excuse me, no North pole for
me-" and his teeth chartered, while a
culver of icy chilliness seemed to run
across his whole frame.
"Are you cold?' we asked. eff so,
walk up by the stove and get warm"
"No, sir, no! warm as the sportive
African who swings his juvenile upon
the equatorial line. I am needy, busted,
broke, sir. You see before you specu-
lator whose cart is keeled over and
broken, with the horses on run 80 far
ahead creased streak of lightning cam
not overtake 'em. Four months since I
started barber shop. Now, thinks I,
I'll strike a new beat. So Just goes
and hires four deaf and dumb tonsorial
artists and then put up notices that GUS
toners coming to my shop would have
a quiet shave by deaf and dumb BARRIERS
and no questions asked. The thing took
on the start, but, when the COMPOUNDED
BARRIERS pulled their states and began
writing out the usual questions, blow
me if I didn't discover that was a ru-
ined man. Yes, sir, BARRIERS is BARRIERS
and, when I closed my shop, busted up
and started on a tramp, I just says to
myself it's no use. If dead men could
be learned to handle the razor over a
mans face, the blamed things would
have spiritual MEDIUMS asking their VIC
TINS the same old line of questions-Ah,
thank yer, sir; ta-ta. With this dime
I'll send counter-irritant down my
throat thatll knock the thinness out Of
this summer suit and give my stomach o
cleaner shave than any barber can"
And, as the shattered vase retired, the
perfume of the roses remained in the
sanctum until an open window restored
the natural tone Of the atmospheric
Whitehall Times.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

A flash of light, merry hum,
And peals of ripping laughter sweet,
The pattering of tiny feet,
And 10, the little children come.
A stately fir tree rears its head
With stars and tapers all ablaze:
And quivering in the fairy rays
The glittering, loaded branches spread.
The childish eyes are sparkling bright,
And the childish hearts with joys o'ci
And on the birthday long ago
They ponder with grave delight.
Then to their gifts they turn once more,
And in the present sunshine lost,
They fear no future tempest-tossed.
But unto fairy regions soar.
No cares, no fears, happy time
OF laughter; tears that cannot stay;
An April day, year of May,
Pealed in and out with Christmas chime.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

The old wolf squats on her launches thin,
In the mountain path where fr-trees grow,
While Christmas bells make merry din
In the red-roofed town below.
Her fangs are keen, and her coat is gray,
And her eyeswere red with hellish light,
In the ice and snow of the frozen way
She waits this festive night
Waits for step, and the merry sound
OF strong voice lifting an old love tune
And q shadow cast on the finty ground
Under the Christmas snow.
The black frs stand in solemn row,
The white frost glistens, the hour grows late,
But the cd wolf, there in her lair of snow,
Watches, as stern as fate.
Like stag he climbs the frozen fall,
Under the crag his fleet foot rings;
In the shade of the frs, SO thick and tall,
This is the song he sings:
In yon sky the Christmas star,
Like thy sweet eyes, shines afar,
Bright, Birgit, maid adored!
AS the brown bark to the tree,
Cleaves thy lovers heart to thee,
AS the blue mist to the sea,
AS the scabbard round the sword!
Through the Christmas dance tonight
Thou did'st move, dream of light,
Fairest of the village maids.
For thy love wait, my sweet,
Like the hills for Summers heat,
Like the wild deer for the glades-
Yea, watt sigh forlorn,
AS the forest for the leaf,
AS the darkness for the morn,
AS the valleys for the corn,
AS the garner for the sheaf.
Heed my sorrow, heed my signs,
Melts my soul beneath thine eyes,
AS the glacier meath the sun.
Bright, Bright, unto thee,
Like the brown brooks to the sea,
All my thoughts and wishes run.''
With shudder and shrek the wind goes by,
In fringes gray the tan clouds float,
Across the moon, and the black frs sigh,
And the old wolf leaps at his throat!
And maiden Bright, in happy mood,
Sleeps on in the red-roofed town below
Sleeps, knowing not that her lovers blood
Reddens the Christmas snow!

They are again agitating the use of
very light shoes, with few nails in them,
for horses. An animal which carries
one and one-quarter pounds of iron on
each foot must expend considerable
strength every day in bearing that con-
