\ CHRISTMAS PURCHASE.

V The following poem, written by John son of the Washington Star, will be appreciated in snowless Phoenix: Sing hey to the times of Kris Kringle, When frost sets the blood all a-tlngle, When the stars, crisply bright, Seem to dance through the night, And sleigh bells so merrily jingle. When the snow, meath your footsteps
 is creaking,
 And the north wind for mischief
 comes seeking,
 And in frolic will lift
 A great fea,thery drift Ger the merry crew, laughing ana
 shrieking.
 Oh. truth is a comfOrtless diet; sNWere best to let fancy run riot; But the fact We all know:
 If we want any snow, We must go to the ice house and buy It.
