OLD CHRISTMAS.
BY rHoMAsJonS ousELEY.

Prepare the cheer, the festive cheer,
Old Christmas fast is drawing near,
His days are short, his nights are long.
Yet joys the burden Of his song;
With holly wreath his brow 10 hound,
With berries red his head is crowned;
Aud, though his hair is white, his eyes
Twinkle with pleasure as he plies
The goblet filed with ruby wine,
Pressed from the full, rich, southern vine;
He heeds not fog, nor frost without,
But laughs with many cheerful shout.
Dear, hale old;Grandad, in past time
We hailed thee with merry chime;
The pretty books, tn enticing toys,
The shrilly laugh Of girls aud boys;
The large plum-pudding, ,snow-clad cake
Plump raisins in the fiery lake;
Snap-dragou, game Of hide-and-seek;
With many romp and childish freak;
Riddles, conundrums, magic tales,
OF fairies, ships with silver sails:
Till weary, sleepy eyes attest
The night far spent, twas time for rest.
The blazing FIRE, the curtains drawn.
The rough wind bowling DER the lawn
0rotssquo, quaint shadows move aud fall
Upon the crimson papered wall.
Ny father filed the old armchair,
My mothers face knew not a care;
He was boy on Christmas day,
And she looked like a child in May;
blooming IN matrou beauty shown,
Husband, wife, children, all were one;
The boy then Is father now,
The girl, a wife with anxious brow.
Yet thou, old friend, art just the same,
Thy face lit by the rudy flame;
Thou'rt always old, yet ever young,
With kind words on thy silver tongue;
Whole generations rise and fall,
Yet none are born to hold thy pail;
When spr'og arrives. with stafin hand,
Thou journeyess to far off land,
Till autumo's dying voice you hear,
wailing the close of the year.
Prepare the cheer, the festive cheer,
The old loved season still revere;
Revere with thanks for blessings shed,
Aud think of many a roo1ess head;
Give Of your substance, freely, kind,
The shorn lamb shivers in the wiad;
Let pity claim your lb'ral hand,
To aid the helpless, outcast bauk;
II each one starving wretch would feed,
The oct would cheer in sorrows need
Comfort the poor-aud then you may
Welcome with Joy old Christmas day.

KRIss KINGLE,
Kriss Kringle is merry old soul
Right along he goes from pole to pole;
In every chimney depositiug his gifts,
Scudding along through drifts aud drifts
Showing and blowing no matter how
hard,
Kriss Kringle manages to leave his card.
Injuripg nothing in his hasty fight,
Never stops going with all his might.
Good little children he delights to cheer,
Little boys and girls, when this you hear,
Each strive to do better the ensuing year
