Santa CIaus's Message.

A little maid with locks of gold,
And eyes of heavens own blue,
i spied as on one evening cold
The town / wandered through
! said unto myself. What prizs
Upon this maid bestow,
That may see the merry eyes
Lit up with simple glow?
I'll send her gifts both rich and rare,
From friends I'll greeting bring,
And all these tokens of my care
With love and joy Sail ringi
And so when Willie breaks the toy
Her heart was set upon,
She will not say, you hOrried boy
But "l'll have another one
"And Santa Claus will bring some, too,
For willie-theu L know
He will not Gas I've seen him Go)
Treat my own playthinEs so!
For oh, those baby fingers grasp
Has often made me cry.
As from lis eager little clasp
In vain 10 wreSt I'd try.
He breaks my dolls, dear Santa soc
He tears my books, and now,
1 caunst keep my toys or be
Apart, without row.
All, little maid, your griefs are deep,
Your little heart is tired;
But soon upon the roof-tree steep
Old Santa Claus will ride2
And down the chimney wide he'll sprinl
And TO your stocking steal,
Till, when you see the gifts he'll bring,
Your wounds will quickly heall
| So, little maid with golden hair
| Aud eyes of heavens own blue,
I send you now n Christmas fair,
| And now a greeting true?

NIorse's Drawing.

When Samuel f. Is. Morse, after
wards famous as the inventor OF the
electric telegraph, was young painter
studying In London, he made draw
ing from a small cast or the Farnese
Hercules, intending to offer 1t to Ben
iamln West as an example of his work.
Being very anxious for the favorable
opinion of the master, he spent a fort
night upon the drawing, and thought
he had made II perfect. When MIR.
West saw the drawing he examined 1t
critically, commended it in this and
that particular, and then handed 1t
back, saying:
VERY well. sir, very well; go on
| and finish it.''
"But 1t is Finished" answered the
young artist.
"Oh, no." said Mr.. West; "looll
here, and here, and here" and he pul
his finger upon various unfinished
places.
Mr.. Morse saw the defects, now thai
they were pointed out TO him. and de
voted another week to remedying them
Then he carried the drawing again t
the master. Mr.. West was evidently
very much pleased, and lavishe'
praises upon the work; but at the enc
he handed it back, and said, as before
"Very well, indeed, sir; go on, an

Morse, by this time almost dii
