And all the night The hedUens shine

Wih Merry Christmas :" in their sleep;
And dream about the Christmas tree
Or rise, their stockings filled to see
S'ottt come the hours Of jog and cheer,
Of tocing friend and kindred dear;
Of gifts and bOuaties in the air,
Sped By the merry Christmas PRAYER.
While through 1t al, so s,oeet and strong,

A Dreadful doubt.
grewsome doubt Ia in the air
It's solemn Tim who hlls the chair;
with many an awful pause
He says, 30, children, large and small,
hear that they've deceived us all;
There is no Santa Claus
The chimney sprite
He heard the tale,
He sped away
Der hin and dale.
no, Santa claus
No, Santa Cidusl
The children doubt their friend.
It's Christmas-eve, and all is still;
Each youngster sore against his will,
Has been tucked up in bed.
The sandman came and Allied his eyes,
And every kind Of vain surmise
Has long since left his head.
The chimney sprite
His watch he keeps,
He fits about
while each one sleeps.
No. Santa Claus
No, Santa Claus
Your treasures como and spend.
But long before the morning light
Each pair Of eyes Is open bright
Says Tim, Lets go below;
By candle-light we soon eau see
II limp aud lank the stockings be;
Why rest until we know7"
The chimney sprite
He laughs aloud,
Aud watches now
The eager crowd.
No, Santa Claus
No, Santa Claus
See Whdtth children md.
Old Santa Claus IL on the roof
A nail has hurt his RENDERS hoof;
He hears the youngsters Shouts
He lays his finger on his nose,
Aud shows his shining teeth in rows,
To think what they're about
The chimney sprite
He shakes with glee;
The children now
From doubt are free.
No, Santa Claus
No. Santa Claus
Old grdybeard good and Kind.

Oh, JOY without compared

Thus sounded the old psalm-tune, and one
on board the ship felt lifted up in his own
way, through the song and the prayer and
just as the old tree had felt lifted up in its
last, its most beauteous dream in the Christ

BY CHRISTINA @. RossErrI.
Before the paling Of the stars,
Before the winter morn,
Before the earliest cOckcrow,
Jesus Christ was born;
Born In a stable,
Graded In a manger,
In the world his hands had made
Born a stranger.
Priest and king lay fast asleep
In Jerusalem;
Young and old lay fast asleep
In crowded Bethlehem:
Saint and Angel, OK and ass,
Kept a watch together
Before the Christmas daybreak
In the winter weather.
Jesus on His mothers breast
In the stable cold,
Spotless Lamb Of God was He,
Shepherd OF the fold:
Let us kneel with Mary maid,
With Joseph bent aud hoary,
With Saint and Angel, OF and ass,
To hail the King Of Glory.

From Bethle'm's star q ray still shines
.Adown the ages long,
And still we catch this one sweet strain
OF that angelic song
OF peace on earth, good will 10 men,"
o may its music rare
Still linger round our lives to-day,
A blessing and prayer.
As friend 10 friend our gifts we bring,
With love and Christmas cheer,
In the same radiance that lit
The hills Of old Judea,
Sing Peace on earth. good will to men,"
Might angels stoop to hear,
Could 1t ascend from every heart
Glad anthem of the year.
