CHRISTMAS DREAMS.

The snoW-clouds in the angry skies
MY bright new sled viii win the prize:
An! what happy boy am l %
lie never thought there could arise
A moment when he fain would die:
Ii dark obliyion's waves could say
From out thy life put care away.
There is in life nameless charm
A passing dream that erst will fade
Ihe boys thoughts are void of harm;
In fondest lmagery's portrayed
The shifting lights of Christmas cheer:
Can aught life offers seem moro DEAR
But when in manhood's prime the day
comes all unwelcome to the heart,
he fam would place it far away;
w hlle from its hailowed name depart
The bllssful memories of the past
Too true and pure and bright to last.
Not thus may Christmas come to all:
For some have won right to ioy,
And waken early to the call.
As any bright and happy boy.
Who- faithful to his Patrons cause.
Displays the gifts of Santa CLAUS.
