If He Could ONLY Fill 1t,

Little Mary is a good little girl nearly
5years old, but possessed of poetical
genius which runs rather too strongly
toward paraphrasing. She has done a
good deal of composing during her brief
existence, but mainly In the way of
words substituted for others, which left
her open to the charge of plagiarism.
She is also possessed of fund Of humor
which would not be expected in one so
young. Mary's father the other day, by
way of breaking the child of her fault as
poet and testing her capacity at original
composition, offered her as Christmas
present the largest and best picture book
that could be found in Chicago if she
would make up piece Of poetry which
would not resemble any other that she
had ever heard. She was given two
days to complete the task, and yesterday
morning sang the following as her origi-
nal composition:
Hang up papa's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget;
II Santa Claus can fill 1t,
Wen all be wealthy yet.
1t is needless to say that Mary lost the
prize, her father pronouncing the pome-
let parody, and one which showed
reckless disregard for the truth on the
part of the child.-Chicago Herald.

mouth, when the finishing touch was
put to Dicks recovery by the embraces
Of his happy sweetheart.
"Time, though old, is strong in fight"
says the old song; and he has brought US
once more to Christmas eve The club
is assembled at the George and Dragon;
there is trimming punch bowl on the
boards, and the silver ladle with the
golden guinea is in active operation.
The talk is Of the war, and John Tack
abird has been reading aloud an account
of battle in the Bay of Biscay, where a
large Spanish ship had been taken, and
where the name of Tom Champer figured
among the killed.
The mummers, having finished their
Christmas play, have departed on their
rounds; but suddenly they are heard re-
turning, with cheers and shouts. The
clatter of horses hoofs is heard on the
paved streets
"'Tis Dick HexeI come back" cries
the barber, looking out of the window.
"Let US give him welcome" said Capt.
Trenwith. He is a brave lad, and hath
fought and bled for the British fiagT
"Hurrahi' cried the crowd outside.
"Hurrahi hurrahp' shouted the cap
tain and his companions as they hurried
to the door, and there, sure enough, was
Dick Hexel, on horseback, with Mary
Renowden seated ON a pillion behind him,
while Peter Hexel and John Renowden
had already dismounted, and were under
going vigorous handshaking among the
crowd. The club sat late in session that
night, and Capt. Trenwith would fain
have had Dick In to tell how he had
scaled the ramparts Of Portobello; but
Dick excused himself on the plea of
fatigue, and he spent the evening much
more to his liking in the company of
Mary Renowden. II do suppose" said
Will Nance, "Dick Hexel will have a
considerable sum in the way of prize
money coming to himT'
"If he lives to be an old man it may,
perhaps, come to him." said John Tacka-
bird; but the tyrannical abuse of power
under an oligarchy"-
"D-n your hard words!" cried Capt.
Trenwith; "they would break any mans

will do his duty whether he is paid for it
or no; and may never live to see the
day when British tar will think more
of profit than of honor"
This sentiment of the good old captain
ought, according to the usual custom of
the stage, to bring down the curtain on
our little drama; but, to satisfy the reader,
we beg to state that in the early spring
Richard Hexel espoused Mary Renow-
den in the parish church of St. Ives, and
Capt. Trenwith proposed the health of
the young couple in the parlor of the
Golden Lion, which ancient hosiery is
still standing in evidence of the entire
truth Of this narrative.-M. j. In Illus

FROM BETHLEHEM TO NAZARETH.
THE WISE MEN or THE EAST.

THE WISE MEN or THE EAST.
From out the golden doors of dawn
The wise men came, of wondrous thought,
Who knew the stars. From far upon
The shoreiess east they kneeling brought
Their costly gifts Of inwrought gems and gold,
While, cioudlike incense from their presenc<
rolled.
Their sweets OF flower fields, their sweet
Dstillments OF most sacred leaves,
They laid, low bending at his feet,
As reapers bend above their sheaves-
As strong armed reapers bending, ella morots,
To give their gathered full sheaves kneeing thus
And, kneeling so, they spake Of when
God walked his gardens fragrant sod,
Nor yet had hid hi. face from men,
Nor yet had man forgotten God.
They spake- But Mary kept her thought apart
And. silent, ''pondered all things IL hes heart
They spake, In whispers long. they laid
Their shaggy heads together, drew
Some stained scrolls breathless FORTH then mads
Such speech as only wise men knew
Their high red canels on the huge hill set
Outstanding, like some night ewn silhouette.
MORN AT NAZARETH.
think see Him now at morn
Before the burst of sudden day.
Above the silver fields Of corn
Where He has gone apart TO pray;
think see Him looking thoughtful down
Beyond the corn, beyond the waking town
Beyond the silyer'd mists that rise
From all night toiiing In the corn,
The nista have duties up the skies,
The skies.have duties down the morn,
While all the world Is full of earnest care
To make the fair world still more wondrous fair
Eare iordly fair; the stately morn
Moves down her walks of 20 den wheat,
Her guards Of honor gid the corn
In golden pathway for Gods feet;
Her purped hills she crowns In crowns Of gold
and ma iesty before the Lord Ia rolled
