THE STORY OF SANTA CLAUS

The history of Santa Claus-a Gu
rious mixture of truth and fable
goes far back into the ancient time.
Centuries ago a child was born in
ASIA Minor who received the name
of Nicholas. His parents were veal
thy and of high rank, and desiring
to express their gratitude to God for
the birth of their son, they resolved
to educate him for the Christian
priesthood. The child was sober and
thoughtful, and while yet young both
his parents died, and he inherited
their great wealth. He considered
the riches a great trust; he fed the
hungry he clothed tie destitute, and
and performed all kinds of good
deeds as secretly as possible. AS a
priest he was greatly beloved as
a bishop he continued his benev-
olence after his death the church
canonized him, and he became one of
the greatest of patron saints, being
revered as the helper of the poor,
and protector of the weak, and the
especial patron saint of little chill
dren, who were taught to believe
that their good gifts came from him.
Saint Nicholas was the name given
him by the monks, and this was ia
miliarly changed to Santa Nic'laus
and finally clipped down to Santa
Claus who is still represented as re-
tanning his old habits of secret benev-
olence and coming down the chin
ney laden with Christmas presents
for the children.
A pleasant fiction it is TO them, un'
der the cover of which that charm
ing secrecy concerning the donors Of
gifts is kept up, though the little eye:
and ears and minds are keen, anC
Santa Claus is usually very wei
known to them as much more mod
ern parsonage than old st. Nicholas
But the children enjoy the harmless
pretense, the mysterious filling o
stockings and the heavily ladel
Christmas tree.

IT'S thirty years to-day, love,
Since at the affairs side
We stood with hand in hand love,
And you became my bride.
IT'S thirty years ago, love,
| How swift the years have run;
| 1t seems but yester'een, love,
| Since you and I were one.
| The light lines on thy brow, love,
The deeper my face,
Show more the fight of years, love,
Than sorrows bitter trace.
The months have been like summer, love,
From spring to autumn's gold;
No leaden years have passed us, love;
| No days of winters cold.
Yet rainy days have come love,
And lowering clouds passed by;
| Which, ere the day was gone, love-
Lay amber in our sky.
The ups and downs, and crooks, love,
That make life such maze,
Have had more curves than angles, love,
Less rough than pleasant ways.
We have mistook each other, love-
AT times, perhaps, it's true;
AS mists obscure the morning, love-
To leave the skies more blue
And now with love more pure, love,
With hearts more truly one,
Wen walk through frightening shadows. love.
