He continued this action all through the

Merry Christmas.

BY Alice Davey, Aged IA Years. Davey.
Neb., (ex-Queen Bee). Blue SIDE
Merry Christmas will soon be hero.
The happiest time of all the year.
When Santa Claus down the chimney will
creep,
And see the children fast asleep
In their beds.
He fills the stockings up to the brim.
And laughs at the way the children love
him;
And leaves them there to dream of the
toys
He win leave for all the good girls and
boys
Such as sleds
They wake in the morning before the sun
rises,
And rush to see all the happy surprises;
Lhen how they laugh and shout with glee
ana shout to mamma to come and see
The pretty toys.
That night when all the children were
asleep,
Old Santa came back and took a peep.
and saw the happy faces there
Not knowing what sorrows they may have
to bear
After these joys.
