The Facts in the Case.

(Being veraoious and justly due expls
! i, nation of the basis of certain holiday gos
| sip affecting the character of Mr.. job
SmigginS.)
Now, Smiggins is model man,
Who loves his family dearly,
To make home happy as he can
| He always tries sincerely.
Throughout the year, from day to day,
He's never cross nor Surly;
It's his undertaking way
Each eve to come home early.
Meets wife and children with kiss
And kindly word. The fact is,
To make his family happy, this
Is Smiggin'S creed and practice.
So gossips, who had long been baked,
morsel nice to handle,
Found out last night, and how they talked
About the SmigginS scandal!
Some sternly blamed, some sympathised,
Some said that he'd been gOaded,
But none OF them were much surprised
When Smiggins came home loaded.
His wife still sat beneath the lamp,
The children all were sleeping
No thought had they Of scandals stamp
AS he came homeWard creeping.
She met her husband at the door,
Some say sha saw him stumble
A thing he'd never done before
But did she chide or grumble?
Not much! She softly let him in,
His face with smiles all beamng.
''B9 careful, now, don't make a din,''
She said, ''they all are dreaming"
Then Smiggins carefully began
To let go what he carried;
Nor for a moment did the man
Appear the least bit harried.
From this arm he unslings sled,
From that lets down hobby,
Both bright with paint, white, blue ant
She said: ''Won't they please Bobby!'
From pockets of his overcoat
He takes a dozen bundles,
While Mrs. S. just seems to gloat
Above cart she trundles.
All kinds of playthings he pulls out,
And oranges and candy,
And says, with gay, pretended doubt:
"Perhaps they may come handy"
And as he still keeps piling on
The treasure from his jOy-StOre
She gaily says: why mercy, John,
You must have bought the toy store"
This is the truth I'd like to state,
And this is what it boded
That winter night, so very late,
That Smiggins came home loaded.

The Covered Bridge.

Tell the fainting soul in the weary form
There's world of the purest bliss
That is linked as that soul and form are
linked,
By covered bridge with this.
Yet to reach that realm on the other shore
We must pass through transient gloom,
And must walk unseen, unhelped and alone
Through that covered bridge, the TOMB.
But we all pass over on equal terms,
For the universal toll
Is the outer garb which the hand OF COO
Has flung around the soul.
Though the eye is dim and the bridge dark
And the river it spans is wide,
Yet Faith points through to shining
mount
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet, in the next days march
To climb up that golden ridge,
We must alflie down for a one nights rest
Inside of the covered bridge.

That sing and laugh and play;

His curls they are so quaint
They mind you of the halo on

With candles all aglOw.

Twas me that loved him so.
And surely, surely. you will see
