And the wintry world lies waiting
For the glory of the day;
Then we hear fitful rustling
Just without upon the stair.

Catch the CLEAN Of sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies stealing,
Rows of little socks to fill?
Are they angels floating hither
With their message OF good will?
what sweet spell are these elves weaving
AS like larks they chirp and sing?
Are these palms of peace from Heaven
That these lovely spirits bring?
Rosy feet upon the threshold,
Eager faces peeping through,
With the first ray of sunshine.
Chanting cherubs come in view;
Mistletoe and cleaning holly,
Symbols of blessed day,
In their chubby hands they carry.

Well we know them, never weary

Waiting, Watching, listening always,
With full hearts and tender eyes,
While our little household angels,
White and golden in the sun,
Greet US with the sweet old welcome
Merry Christmas, every one !"

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN SONG BIRDS. -
The English birds are more domestic and

intimately associated with man; not, as a

CHRISTMAS POEM FOR THE LITTLE
ONES.
BY MRS. HARRIETT J.

Open, little bright eyesl
Listen, little ears!
A little coach is coming
Drawn by little deers.
With little driver,
Cunning, queer and sly;
Watch for him, my darling,
Christmas time is nigh.
The Jolly little fellow
Travels in the night;
He enters through the chi nney
And leaves before tits light.
There is no person living
Who even gets a peep
At this dear little fellow
Who comes while children sleep.
Some say. he enters laughing.
Is ever fun of fun.
They surely tell a story;
He shows himself to none.
The night before next Christmas.
just you. dear children, wait
Close by the dear old chimney
He chooses for his gate;
ANA Watch for him till morning:
But listen, you must keep
Your little eyes wide open,
For, ii you fall asleep,
you'll surely, surely miss him,
AS he's cunning chap,
And takes his time to enter
While children take a nap.
For fear that you may miss him,
Just hang your little hose
Close by the chimney corner.
Up which he always goes,
We're glad, for the dear children,
mat Christmas time is nigh,
Which brings the little fellow
so generous and sly.
generous, yet partial,
As he forgets the poor,
While he the rich remembers
And gladdens from his store.
Attention favored darlings;
Come closely to our side,
While in your ear we whisper
One little wor6-.iiutde.

Many affect to believe that we may
prosecute a temperance reform without
voting upon the subject, But does not the
experience of the past show that no re-
form was ever yet made successful in this
country until it was made an issue in
politics. And even now, rum is the
largest factor in American politics But
it is all on the rum side. 1t is only the
anti.rum side which it is dangerous to in.
fuence into politics.

The Fanatics Not all Dead vet,

We are reliably informed that a
Presbyterian minister at West Grove,

Indian massacre at this place in 1862
was punishment for the sins of our
people, being all infldels and skeptics,
and having an organization or society
for the purpose Of spreading infidel be.
lief or principles. After asking for in
formation as to the existence of such
an organization, our informant asks:
Ibid you ever hear of your sins being
the cause of the outbreak"
Yes, we have before heard that our
sins were the cause Of the
outbreak. but the astounding re vel.
alton was III every case made by
fanatical idiots who know as little
about the real cause of the terrible
massacre of 1862 as child yet unborn.
The merciless Indians did not stop to
enquire the religion of their victims,
and they massacred all that fell into
their clutches. It is amusing to hear
that minister of the gospel(?) preach.

community that the hapless settlers
along the frontier were so terribly
