CHRISTMAS TREASURES.

count my treasures DER with care
Tho little toy that baby know,
A little sock OF faded hue,
A little lock Of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas tlmo.
My little ono-my all 70 mo
Sat robed in white upon my knee,
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
'Tell me, my little golden head,
II Santa CLAUS should como tonight,
What shall no bring my baby bright,
Whit treasuse for my boy" 1 said
And then he named tho little toy,
While In his honest mournful eyes
There came q look OF sweet surprise
That spoke his quiet, trustful Joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer.
He asked the boon with childish grace,
Thon, toddling to tho chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, as longthoning shadows crept,
saw tho white-winged angels como
With heavenly music 10 our homo,
And kiss my darling as no slept.
They must haye heard his baby prayer,
For in the morn, with smiling faco,
Ho toddled to tho chimney place,
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmastido;
That angel host, SO fair and white.
And, singing all tho Christmas night,
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, a little toy,
A little lock Of golden hair,
The Christmas music on tho DIR,
A watching for my baby boy.
But IL again that angel train
And golden head come back for me,
To bear me to eternity,
My Watching will not DO In vain.
