mantelshelf their stockings in row,
Each laughing sprite in robe of white away
to bed did go.
When hung up my stocking-The world
was different then;
Unvexed the mind by things that blind and
clog the souls OF men:
"A prayer hsped at mothers knee, hope
to only peep"
II we were auckland see st. Nick while
others lay asleep.
When I hung up my stocking-The gray
dawn came so late
Each little head in trundle bed grew weary
with the wait;
A stealthy rush of white-robed three-and
then the stockings split
Their treasure out, to laugh and shout,
upon the patchwork quilt.
When hung up my stocking-If now
could but feel
Such bubbling Joy without alloy as reach
ing to tho heel
Brought in the cold gray dawnings of those
Christmas days gone by,
Not anyone beaeath the sun would be so
glad as l.
When hung up my stocking-No mine
of golden ole,
Or Jewels rare, past all compare, as in
Aladdin's store,
Could make me feel such wealth to-day as
once l used to know
When counting out, with laugh and shout,
the pennies in the toe.
When I hung up my stocking-If we could
- always hold,
Throughout our days of devious ways, like
pictures framed in gold,
Close to our hearts such memories Of child
hoods perfect bliss,
We'd often find what now, too blind, in life
we simply miss.

would desert her invalids rather than
have Mr.. Dayton imagine she was in

probably never discover that she had
taken his place.
