MY RIVAL.

Somehow just then the drowsy smile DER
came
The restless dimple midway of her chin;
And sleeps moist finger quenched the hazel
flame
Her curling Iashes jealously hedge in.
How sweet her slumber is, my thoughts d.
vine;
I'm sure yellow love-lock strays athwart
The coverlet, as il it sought to shine
Close to the happy beating of her heart.
She dreams!-but not ofme. To well know
Whose image sways her sordid little soul;
stalwart gentleman, this favored beau,
Not young, and rather stout upon the
whole.
His head hath white of many winters frost,
His beard is hoar, his brow is marked OF
time;
But in good stead of graces he has lost.
The beauty of his treasure is sublime.
In fact had some worthy gifts of him
Myself, in days not passed beyond my
mind;
IT'S true his kindness now looks somewhat
dim.
As bygone favors often do, 1 find
Yet on this Christmas eve they give me pause,
And lend me grace his triumph to survive.

She'll fout your Claims next year when she

good joke. "Now, I have got even
with that child" said he: "she wont
make me jump-no not for another
year at least''
The little blue mouse laughed, too.
Of course, she got all the candy, and
she ate so much of it that for the
next week her doctor did nothing but
give her paregoric, and he told her
that if, in the meantime, she tasted
any cheese it would be the death of
her, sure!
AS for Bertha, she got the worst of
it, of course, for there she was-all
painted up like jumping, jack with
a big purple left eye. She couldn't
speak or do anything else unless
somebody pulled the string, and she
had to stay that way whole year,
until Santa Claus came around him
self and fixed things. When Santa
Claus did come back he took the evil
jumping-jack away with him and
changed him into a nut-cracker. So
now the evil jumping jack has to work
harder than ever before, and nobody
is a bit sorry, Pm certain. But the
old clock sings "tick-tock, tick-tock, :"
just the same as before, and once when
l sat listening to this strange music,
which will go on long after you and
l are done with Christmas times the
old clock paused in it's solems singing
to tell me the story I have just told
you, and the OLD clock knows many
other pretty stories which I may at
some future time repeat.-Pittsburg

Her Presents.

It was Christmas Eve, and Laura
Poole, happy and sleepy, was trotting
along through the railroad station,
with her father and mother. They
had come to the city to spend Christ
mas, and Laura felt as if she we've
walking straight into fairy-land; in
all her seven years, she had only
visited the city once, just enough to
be able to dream about it's wonders.
Old Mother Mac, as she was known
among her acquaintance, was in the
station. She was an apple-woman
rather prosperous than otherwise
but she had one grief. Her "boy," a
great, hulking creature in whom she
always saw his baby prettiness, had
gone to the bad, and tonight she
had placed her stand in charge of
neighbor. and had gone about from
one low drinking place to another,
to find him.
So far the search had been in vain,
and she wandered into the station to
think matters over, under shelter,
and make up her mind where to go
next.
While papa was talking to hack
man, Laura caught sight of Mother
Mac, as she walked along the plat
form, thinking, thinking, her poor old
face screwed into the wrinkles ofanx-
iety. Laura dropped her mothers
hand, ran up to the old woman so
fast that she actually fell into the
folds of Mother Macs plaid shawl.
81 wish you Merry Christmas,
ma'a1nl" she cried, in her shrill, sweet
voice. "And here's present-and
here's another!'
The presents were-two cookies in
a crumpled bag and bright new
penny! Mother Mac took them
both, and as she looked atthe little
velvet-clad figure, the golden curls
and shining eyes, she laughed and
cried together.
'Bless the baby!" said she.
But Laura, timid as a little mouse,
now that her outburst of Christmas
cheer was over, had scampered back
to mamma, and in a moment: more
she was in the carriage, rolling away
toward grandma's.
Now Mother Mac didn't find her
= boy one bit sooner, that Christmas
Eve, because little child had pitied
her, but, nevertheless, she was con-
scious of sweet warmth and glow
at her heavy heart. A tiny thread
of gold had been woven in her darkly
cClored life, never to be furnished or
lost.
