SANTA'S COMING
N. c. Robbins.

Twas the night before Christmas.
Goodnight had been said,
And the dear little children.
Were sent on 20 bed.
For tonight they expected,
That Santa would come,
With sweetmeats and toys,
To brighten their home.
So they kissed their dear papa
A loving goodnight.
And went 10 their beds
With their eyes shining bright,
They laughed and they danced
Around In great Rlee.
For they knew that old Santa
Would bring them a tree.
But before they could sleep
They must kneel down and pray,
And they each asked the other
oh what shall we say2
Then dear little Totsy.
She lisped faint and low.
Do mamma; please ask God
To look down below.
And watch her dear little ones,
Down on their knees.
And let Santa Claus bring us
Some toys-and oh pleGse-
want a wax dolly
So pretty and fair
with red rosy checks
And fine golden hair.
Please God. send a bedstead,
And little bureau,
And a pretty green swing,
That will go 70 and fro,
And a little gilt cup
That will hold my nice tea,
Please God. don't forget them.
And send them 10 me.
Then Tommy, he asked.
For a nice little sled.
With colors all bright,
All purple and red,
And no wanted toy,
That would spin on tho floor,
And please santa. bring me,
Oh many things more.
Then Mary the eldest.
She wanted a book.
And a little gold watch,
At which she could look.
That would tell her the time
And wind with a stem.
And then I'll be happy.
And now Lord-Amen.
Then they crept into bed.
And laid very still,
For they wanted old Santa,
Their stockings TO MI.
For they hung by the chimney
All In a row
And they expected them hlleG
From the top to the toe.
So when morning came,
SO clear and SO bright,
They sprang from their beds,
And were filled with delight.
Evening journal., 1909-12-24

For each little stocking,
Was full to the toe.
And everything else that they
Asked for you know.
The tree II was grand.
So pretty and bright
And dolly was there.
with ourls, oh. so light,
A sled and a watch,
A top and a book
And so many things
At which they must look.
And papa stood near them,
He was filled with delight.
He told them old Santa
Had come in the night,
Because they had been
