Il Granny's Xmas Musing.

ana so Old CHRISTMAS once again Is here,
The dear old Christmas; just the same, L
That used to fill my youthful heart with cheer
In that glad home of long, long years ago.
But if it be the self-same Christmas tide
It's grown no older than it used to be;
1t is as biithe. as bright with love and pride,
While I-ah! yes, the change is all in me.
The snow is glistening in the midday sun,
The sleighs so jingIing down the winding
lane.
This surely is our same old Yule again.
1t cannot be that fully three-score years
Have fitted DER my trembling locks OF
That other voices sound the Christmas cheers.
And not the dear, loved ones l used to
know.
The bells ring out the same, their joyous
chime,
Now soft and low, now clamoring loud and
To tell US all it's happy Christmas time.
TO WOO US forth for praying and for song.
In youth they changed the promise of a life
That stretched before DER sunny, tow'ry
In they teach me to forget the strife.
And mem'ry turns to brighter, happier
days.
Aye, happier days; yet now look them DER
And count the years flown by on pinions
fleet;
Methinks 1 would not wish them back once
more,
The present is so restful and so sweet.
Fair angel faces wait me up in heav'n-
I'm old and bent and helpless now, beside,
But many still are left me, bessins given
The best of alt-this peaceful ChrisUmas-tide.

This was news TO the men; they could

known as Light Haired Harry lived with
his pard, Surly Jack. in small cabin

The pards were somewhat reserved, and

Harry's disposition was as light and joy
Gus as a girls; whereas Jack, appropri-

the opposite. Still, if they agreed, and
were satisfied to dwell beneath the same
roof and share the common lot and luck
