THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
Twas the night before Christmas when al
through the house
Not creature WAS stirring, not even
mouse;
The stockings wee hung by the chimney
with care,
In hopes that 1T. Nicholas soon would he
there
The children we're nestled all snug IN tne'r
beds,
While visions OF sugar plums danced in their
heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and in my
cap
Had lust se't.ed our brsn ms fo,a ong winters
nap
When out on the lawn there arose such
clAiter.
fprspg from the bed to see what was 'ne
matter.
Away to the window flew like FASH
| Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.
The d DON on the breast Of the new'fallen
snow
Gave the lusirs of midday TO objects
below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should
appear.
But miniature sleigh, and eight tiny re NJ
deer,
With a little old driver so lively and
quick,
I knew in . moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his couTsers they
came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them
by name
Now. Dssher. DOW, Dancer now, PFaneef'
and VIXEN
On Comet on Cupid on Dnnder and
Bitten
To the top OF the porch to The top OF the
wall
Now, dssh away dash away dash away
ALL
As dry leaves that before tie wild hurricane
fly.
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to
the sky,
go up to the honse.top the courSers they
flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys, and ST. Nicholas,
And then, in = twinkling, heard on tho
The prsncing and paving Of each little
hoof
As / drew in my head, and was turning
around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with a
| bound.
BE was dressed all in fur, from his head to
| his foot.
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes
and SCOT;
A bundle Of toyf be had flung on his
back,
And he looked like peddler just opening h /
pack.
His eyes = how they twintled; his dimples--
how merry!
cherry!
His droIl little mouth was drawn up like a
bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the
snow;
The stump OF pipe he held tight in his
And the smoke it encircled his head like a
wreath;
he had broad face and little round belly,
That shook when he laughed like bowl full
ofjelly.
Ito was chubby and plump, right jolly old
elf,
And.I laughed when saw him, in spite Of
myself.
A wi K Of his eye and twist Of his head,
Soon gave me to know l had nothing to
dread;
He spoke not word, but went straight to
his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with
ajerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose,
And giving nod. up the chimney no rose.
lie sprang TO his sleigh, to his team gave a
whistle,
And away they all few like tho down OF a
thistle,
| But heard him exclsion, ere he drove out Of
sight,
"Happy hristmas to all and to all Good
night"
