MERRY CHRISTMAS.

In the rush Of the merry morHing.
When the red burns through the
gray,
And the wintry world lies waiting
For the glory of the day;
Then we hear a fitful rushing
just without upon the stair
See two white phantoms coming
Catch the CLEAN Of sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies steaIIrg
Rows of little socks to fill?
.tre they angels floating hither
With their message of goo-i-w -
v hat sweet spell are these eiYe
weaving.
AS like larlls they chirp and slns2
Are these palms Of peace from heay-
That these lovely spirits bring?
Rosy feet upon the threshold.
Eager faces peeping through,
With the first red ray Of sunshine,
Chanting cherubs come in view;
Mlstletoe and cleaning holly,
symbols of blessed day.
In their chubby hands they carry,
Streaming all along tie Way.
Well we know them, never wealy
OF this innocent surprise.
Waiting, watching, listening always
With full hearts and tender eve.
While GU: little house5old angels,
White and golden in the sun
Greet lis with the sweet old wei
come
Merry Christmas. every one.2

p. speaker in the south, pronounced
criticism in this wise: THE words
are wel-chosen,: the rhythm. beau

Just plain marble shaft,
Scarce the height of the hero,
With only two dates,
And the name-nothiAg more.

This is all that remains Of the boy
and his story,
All that remains to tell HIS brave

On, where devotion and duty
STRAIGHT led.
