That colpulit its oyes ;
And about thu many pretty things
II" mule fir tho girls and boys.
I'll tell you tho story briefly,
And then you must off to b.'d,
For Santa t'l.uis will bo comln;
With a load upon your sled ;
And If you still mo watching
I fear ho may go by,
for bo's a curious fellow,
And does things on tho sly.
TSo all began to INlen,
And tho Kitten ope'd her eyes,
And gazed around the clrclo
With an immu'ut surprise.
Across her drowsy no.-o
Tho nimble cricket inn,
And in the general silence
The story thus began.
On a dark mid cloudy night.
With u bowling north-east btorur.
Not a.Star to glvo my light,
Nora cloak to keep niu witrm, .
Not a path to guide my feet
To Hiilnt Nicholas' retreat,
I'ji the dark and lonesome ravlno,
Step by step I picked my way,
I!y a llttlo murmuring runlet
1 had often tracked by day,
And which led t Santa Clans',
I bad heard my Grand I'asay.
For this was tho only llino
In Iho whole revolving year,
His deep hidden mountain homo
To n mortal would appear.
'T was tho night of Halloween,
Night on which strango things arasecnr
And It was on Friday, too,
tSaddest day of all tho seven,
And the moon was In the wane,
Air' the hour beyond eleven I
Fearful night t on every hlllsldo
Troops of fairies d men and sing,
And with sound of mc rry music
Charm the iwrtul to the ring j

And of all tho men tind maidens
I i tho town sho did Inquire, j
Aa'iiUno who woro getUm married,
W tho winter fashions were,
Calling fur a full description
Of the modern female wear.
Fiouneo, nots, hoopsklrls and laces,
She could understand them all,
Hut I 1 1 1 1 1 a dreadful trouble
To (explain tho "waterfall ;"
And when to another feature
The dejeriptlon did extend,
And I tried to ';lve n mr.loii
Of full grown "(iruciuh Ilend j"
While Old .-Santa CUu- w.is sitting
With his pips bstweon hl.s toth,
And around his head was curling
From Its bowl a boiitoous wreath,
One eyo shut, and t' other winking
Kindly at mo ihrouh the smoke ;
And I niu sure that ho was thinking
What a most tremendous oko
T was telling the old lady ;
Hut I told him it was true,
And no juke at all of miiiu;
Hut bo only winked thu more,
Uniting o'er the parlor door,
Laughing till hlssldos were sure.
Much to talk ho did Incline,
So he ordered up some wine,
Cakes and nuts mid apples too,
And as wolMircif people do,
Drink, said ho, mid eat your 1111,
For tho night Is damp mid chill ;
And there's many a weary inilo
Of rock mid ravlno to ho strode,
F.'eryou reach the little stilo
Leading to the llloomsliur road.
So wo hud a merry chat,
Talked of this ami then of that;
Hut at but tho clock struck two,
And I knew it would not do
To bo seen In morning chill,
On Old Sintii (Hans' hill.
So. I buttoned up my coat
C'lo around my breast and tbi

Turned to bid them aji
