Eeveries of the Past.

Last night as / sat alone in my room.
And thought of the bright days of yore.
Oi childhood aud home and mother SO
dear,
And loved ones who now ar no more.
Those bright happy days before me did
Like vision OF beauty untold,
And my heart was SO filed with the
joy of the scene
That my feelings not be controlled
But alas, what changes few years can
make
In the life of q young man ike me.
Thet beautiful hcme oh whereas itSaowYg
Far over mountain and sea. q
And ita inmates too, oh say where are
they
Who then were so happy and free;
Some are now in the Tropical lands of
the South, ~
And some on the lone prairie.
And some are still at the dear old home
Enjoying its blessings SO free,
But again when / number that little
band
There is one whom I do not zee.
Yes one whose face was as fair Ias the
dawn
Whose ethoughts.were as pure rs the dew, !.
And whose voice was as gentle as the
cooling do We.
And her heart was kind aud true. e
But where Is she now that precious one;
Yes where is she todayY
The one who was once the light of home
And was always brishta d gay?
She was far too pure forthis cold earth
By' sinful mortaIs trod
'So.she was transpIantedby our sayiours
own hand
In the beautiful garden Of God
And nowat Heavens own gale she stands
Only waiting for us to come
When with JOY and prajse she will well
come us
To our beautiful heavenly home.

A Visit From St Nicholas.

Twas the night before Christmas all through the hou
! Not a creature stirring not even mouse
Ihe stockings were hung by the chimney with care
! In hopes that st Nicholas soon would be there
The children nestled all snug in their BEDS
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads
And Mama in her kerchief and in my cap,
Lad just settled our brains for long winters nap
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter,
j sprang from my bed to what was the matter
Away to the window flew like a flash
/ Tore open the shutters and threw up the SASH
The moon on the breast of the new-faen snow
Gave ustre of midday to objects below;
When what to my wandering eyes shoud,appear
But a immature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver, so lively and quick
p knew In moment it must be st Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.
CHOW Dasher! Now Dancer Now Prancer and Vixeni
On! Comet, on Cupid on Donner and Bitzen!
/ To the top OF the porch, to the top ofthe wall
Now dash away, dash away ALL
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane Ay
When they meet with obstacle mount to the sky
so up to the houseop the coarsers they few
IWitha sleigh full of tcys-and ST. Kicholas too
And then in twnkling heard on the roof
The prancng and paving of each little hoof
AS drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney st Nicholas came in bound
He was dressed all in fur from his head his foot
And his clothes were all tarnshed with ashes and SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
Aud he looked like peddler just opening his pack
His eyes, how they twinkled His dimples how merrvr
His cheeks were like roses; hsnose like cherry.
HIS droil little mouth was drawn up like bow
And the beard on his chin as white as the snow
The stump of appe he held tight in his teeth =
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath
tie was chubby and pump-a right jolly old elf
wink of his eye, and a twist of his head
He spoke not word but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with ;ar
And laying his finger aside ofhs nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose
He sprang to bis sleigh, to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of thistle
But heard him exclam ere they drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all and to all good night
