Nv kingdom is my swestheart's face,
And these the boundaries trace
Northward her forhead falr;
Bey0nd, q wilderness OF AUBURN nALfi
rosy cheek to east and weSti
He little mouth
The sunny South,
IL Is the south that love oest
Her eyes. two crystal lakes,
Ripping with ugnT
Caught from the sun by DAY
The stars by night,
The dlmples iu
Her cheeks and chin
Are SHARES which love hath set

To-day Is Christmas-the blessed
Christmas. From now until New Year
n viii be one undated pnsh and scram-
he. So much 20 be done and so little
time 20 doit in Is the uppermOst thought
m the mind OF each one. Preparations
for Tie balls, the giving Of receptions,
teas and dances are some OF The things
that claim the attention 90 society, the
ladies more especially. Then on Top OF
the.a come charitable societies, fairs
and church Christmas trees, CD say
nothing % The urgent claims OF the
family and friends, al OF which
have ID be attended % BY those
WHO are supposed % De completely
devoted 90 rayctles. In fact. tbe whole
machinery Of society has been put into
ronderous play. The bTight-iaced,
eager dcbutante O. making her urst
trembling bow 90 a world she vii soon
regard IS her dearest friend. The
fashionable bride Is daily promising 20
honor and obey the man she viii not,
we hope, come 20 regard some day with
supreme indifference, and al the rest
oi the world Is on the move. But 10
an thN delightful hustle, while the
great dining wheel spins, the pistons
plunge ana the throttle tremoles with
excitement, All che thoughts Of to-day
are on Christmas. From the various
colleges aud cities come the
scattered members Of the flock,
who would travel any distance
sooner than miss assembling TOT
Christmas under the home rOof-tree.
They come with laden arms ana gay
greetings, bringing in rush OF colo air
and a fresh influx OF the Christmas
spirit. They are full Of stories about
The trip in the train, Of the country
people and theil' parcels OF the chill
lren going home to srandfather's for
Christmas, Of the parties Of young peO-
ole eager for days skating or coast
ing, Of the crowds Of vehicles awaiting
the travellers az the stations, OF the
merry greetings, Of the spirit OF love
and goodwill that seemed TO brood over
everything and everybody.
After dinner comes the great event
of the day-this event for which the
children fondly believe Christmas eve
was first devised-hanging the stock
ings. Then there is the repetition OF the
never old, always charming poem
's'Twas the Night before Christmas
This is followed by anxious eonjectures
rs TO how santa Claus will manage his
sleigh aud RENDERS II there is no snow
on the ground, and then the little ones
are tucked away aud left, while
visions Of sugar pIums dance through
their heads"
With the first break Of the dawn to-
day, there is a rustic Of excitement
through the house GhOStly forms fit
through the halls, and happy voices
shout MERRY Christmas" from door TO
door. Then comes the hurried dressing,
1.-The Jolly breakfast, the exchange OF
n gifts and all the dear delights Of the
7. day Of days.
