WHAT FOUND IN THE MUFF.

A Christmas-Tree Story.
Well, little ones all! and what shall 1t De-
MY gift to brighten your Christmas-treeI
A story made on purpose for you!
And every word of it ''true as true"'
Suppose you let me tell It In rhyme
This tale of a long-ago Christmas time.
It's name must be "a Mouse in a Num-"
Does not that name sound funny enoughI
A nice fur mum as white as milk,
Cav with tassels, and lined with SIX.
81 might go farther" said Mister Mouse
~And vet fare worse for a winter house"
The mum was hung on Christmas-treei
Said Mousie: "What fine society,"
When get settled for good and all,
These elegant dolls will be sure to call
MY luck" said he, is really good
To get into such aneighborhood''
And now must tell you his sad mishap
While he was taking "forty winks" nap,
Old ~Santa Claus" came in his queer disguise
knew who he was by the laugh in his eyes;
But thought it was most too good to % true
When he said: Little girl, this mum il 1ol
Vou."
Obi who 80 happy as for minute!
OF course the next thing, was to put my nane
in 1t.
I wonder had mousie or I the worst fright.
| For his sharp little teeth gave my hand sucl
bitel
And the scream that gave was the sign Tor
play
Not down on the bill for the day.
The mum went a-fying aloft and around
TIL poor frightened mousie fell out on Tn
ground.
But l never knew, never, from that to this day
| Where the little mouse ran when he scampere
| away.
J Nov whatever YOU wish, II on Christmas 20

Look out that O mouse is not housekeepin
In it.
