"One form of amusement that
children have now that they didn't
use to have when : was q boy" said
Mr.. Rozzle, lis the fun OF busting the
bag. Nowadays many things come
from the grocers and elsewhere in
paper bags, and Le' me bust the
bag il q familiar household request.
The youngster takes the emptied
bag, and with his thumb and forefin-
ger around the open end OF ii he
forms d neck with an opening
through which he may initiate it.
Then with d sudden whack he brings
the bag down upon the other hand
and explodes it with q report whose
loudness is determined by the sine Of
the bag, the fullness OF its imitation,
the tightness nf the grip around the
closed neck and the force Of the
blow. The modern small boy ought
10 be grateful for this continuous do
nestle Fourth Of July, one Of the
many privileges that he enjoys that
were quite unknown to his fathers. y

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
ny CLEMENT c. MOORE.


Twas tho night before Christmas when all through the hos
Not creature was stirring, net a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
IN hopes that st. Nicholas 600 would be there;
The children nestled all snug in their beds
Nhe visions of sugarpums danced through heads
Ana Mamma in her kerchief, and | IN my cap,
Had just settled brains for u long winters nap
When out on the lawn there arose such u catter,
sprang from my bed to what was the matter.
Away to the window flew like n fash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon, ON the breast OF the new fallen snow
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When, to my wondering eyes should appear,
but miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer
With little old driver, lively and Quick
! knew i'll a moment it be ST. Nick
More rapid than eagles His coursers they came,
Aud he whisted and shouted, and called by name
Now Dasher now, Dancer now, Prancer now Vixen
On Comet on, Cupid on, Donder and Bitten =
10 the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all -
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurrcl lue ny
When they meet with an obstacle, mount % the sky
So up to the house top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys-and st. Nicholas too
And then IN twukling heard on the roof
The pranchg and paving of each little hoof,
AS | drew my head and turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with a bound
lie was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot.
And his clothes were all tarnshed with ashes and SCOT
a bundle Of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like pedler just opening his pack
Ills eyes how they twnkled ! his dimples how merry
Ills cheeks werG like roses, his like "a cherry
liS dto!I little ftouth drawn up like a bow,
And the beard his chin was as white AS the snow
The stump Of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encirced his head like a wreath.
lie had a broad face and little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of ey
lie was chubby and piump-a right jolly old elf
And langhed when saw him, in spite or myself
wink of his eve, and a twist of his head
Soon gave to know had nothing to dread
lie spake not word, but straight o hi, work.
And filled all the stockings then turned with jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose.

And away they flew like the down Of a thistle;
But heard him exclaim, ere he drove of sight,
