These four volumes aro sold for V, being only

Christmas present for an entire family of young

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE says : "In the
avalanche of immoral literature that threatens
the children, some strong, vitally wholesome, and
really attractive magazine is required for them,
and St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform,
and commands for this service wider resources in
art and letters, than any of its predecessors or
contemporaries."
THE SUNDAY—SCIIOOL TIMES says: "A
cleaner, purer, more trustworthy periodical for
children, cannot be named. The magazine does
not claim to be religious, but it is on the side of
all that is true and good, from beginning to end."
The religious press all over the country heartily
commends ST. Nllll4l.As, and virtually echoes the
opinion of the New York Christian Union, that it
is" A DELIGHTFUL lAGAZINE FOR ALL

Sr. NICHOLAS FOR 187 G
Promises even greater attractions than the re:
vious volumes. A strong feature of the new vol
ume is an AMERICAN SERIAL BROM'',
"THE BOY EMIGRANTS," BY NOAII
BROOK",
Giving the adventures of a party of boys on their
long journey across the plains, with a vivid por
traiture of their LIFE IN CALIFORNIA DUR
ING THE DAYS OF THE GOLD-FEVER. Mr.
Brooks brings to this work, in addition to his well
known literary gifts, a thorough familiarity with
the features of that wild country and the people
then flocking toward it. What be has to say of
them is pervaded with a subtle and intense savor
of reality that enables the reader to follow the
characters in their adventures with a positive
sense of companionship. The contagion of the
"gold-fever;"the great ditllsulties and perils
which beleaguered their journey across the plains
and mountains, and Dually the adventurous, half
civilized, and yet, in a certain rude way, poetic
life in the mines of California, are all described
with wonderful truthfulness and skill. Add to
this the elevated tone pervading the work, and the
irresistible attraction wnich such a narrative pos
sesses for boys, the value of this stirring, healthy
serial becomes evident.
There is to he another and shorter serial, begin
ning in January and running through three num
bers:
"JON OF ICELAND," BY BAYARD
A delightful vivid story of an Icelandic boy's
career, full of incidents, which would happen in
no other country, and graphically touching upon
the customs, life, and general features of that
strange land.

Christmas Coming
Feathery flukes are dancing, dancing,
In the gray morn's frosty gleam
Heralds they of reindeer prancing
From the gardens of our dream—
From the bright land of the elf king.
Where the bonbons gaily grow
Just like sweits of summer garden z,
When the tulips smile in row.
Feathery flakes are falling, falling,
From the skies in softest way,
And between are voices callim,
"Soon it will be Christmas day."
Don't yon know how in the springtime.
Wintry snows arc scattered wide,
Ere tl►e lovely purple blossoms
Dare to peep front where they hide.
Feathery flakes arc sifting, sif:ing,
Through the chill December air—
Here, and there, and yonder :trifling,
Making crerything more fair ;.
Laying whiter folds than linen
On the houses and the trees,
Softer than the richest damask
Spread our dainty guests to please.
Soon the bonbons will be fallinir
As the flakes have fallen to-day,
And the children will be calling
To their patron saint so gay,
"Ali I we know when came the snowflakes,
You wotild come, dear Santa Claus ;
For we always (you remember)
Know the wind's way by the straws."
Soon the trees, as fair as any
That elves have wreathed with snow,
Will be planted—oh 1 so many,
In our better homes—and lo !
Something better far than snowflakes
Shall be hung about their green—
Candies, toys, and fairy tapers,
Lighting up the merry scene.
And the children, dancing, dancing,
Till all tiri4l their little feet.,
Shall, with half shut eyes up glancing,
Wonder: "Why is life so sweet?"
And some tender voice shall whisper—
Flake-like falling from above—
" Christmas is so sweet, my darling,
Just because its king is love I"
—Mary E. Dodge,
Christmas Shadows.
The needles have dropped from her nerveless
hands,
As she watches the dying embers' glow,
For out from the broad old chimney-place
Come ghostly shadows of °long ago ;"
Shadows that carry her back again
To the time of her childhood's artless joy ;
Shadows that show her a tiny row
Of stockings awaiting the Christmas toy.
Shadows that show her the facos loved
Of many a half-forgotten friend :
And the Christmas eve it is passing by,
While Past and Present in shadows blend.
Alone in the dear old homestead now,
With only the shadows of"Auld Lang Syne,"
The clock is ticking the moments on,
While the tears in her aged eyes shall shine.
If only from out the silent world—
The world of shadows which mock her so—
One might return to his vacant chair,
To sit with her in the fire-light's glow I
If only—Was that a white, white hand
That seemed to beckon herout of the gloom ?
Or was it the embers' last bright flash
That startled the shadows round the room ?
The Christmas eve it has passed at length ;
A glorious day from the night is born;
The shadows are gone from earth away,
And the bells are ringing for Christmas morn.
But ah ! by the broad old chimney-place
The angel of death keeps watch alone,
For straight to the Christ-child's beckoning
arms
A longing spirit bath gladly flown.

It was the day before Christmas, and I
am afraid that Chubby spent a good deal
of time at the windows of the stores that
he ought to have devoted to business. At
any rate, the clocks were striking eleven
at night, the streets were getting empty,
the shopkeepers were putting up their
shutters, and Chubby had six papers left
unsold when he entered a certain notion
store on the corner and walked up to the
counter. The customers had all gone,
and the clerks, a little tired and cross,
were preparing to leave.
"Clear out. !" growled one of them to
Chubby. "Off with you !"
"Don't speak till you're spoken to, young
man," said Chubby.
"We don't want any papers, I tell you,"
growled the clerk again, as Chubby drew
the bundle from under his arm.
"Oh, you don't ! Then I shall feel easy
about 'em," retorted Chubby, laying them
down on the counter.
"What do you want, any way ?" asked
another clerk, a little more graciously.
"A hull dog." answered Chubby, confi
dentially ; "is that one for sale ?"
A general laugh followed, during which
Mr. Marsh, the proprietor of the store,
came from his office, buttoning up his
great coat
"Well, my lad," said he pleasantly,
"what can we do for you?"
"I'm looking for Christmas presents,
sir."
"•Going to give mother something, eh ?"
"No, sir; she's dead."
"Father, perhaps ?"
"He's dead, too."
"Brothers or sisters, then ?"
"Haven't any in the world, sir."
"Who then ?"
"Why, you sec, Mr. Marsh, I haven't
anybody to give presents to, and thare
isn't anybody to give presents to me, so
I thought I'd give myself one."
"Capital plan," said the merchant ,
'capital. So you know my name, eh
What's yours ?"
"Chubby Ruff, sir "
"Chubby 'Ruff. Good again. Chubby
Ruff gives Chubby Ruff, his sole survi
ving, relative, a Christmas present, as a
mark of his esteem ! Very good. Come
this way, Chubby, and let us look over
the stock. You can go," said be to the
clerks; "I'll wait on this customer."
And no millionaire driving to the store
that day in his splendid carriage, no grand
lady in her laces and silks had been more
politely served than Chubby Ruff was by
Mr, Marsh. It is safe to say, also, that
no one had been happier in his purchase
than Chubby was when he received in ex
change for his pocket-ful of nickels the
very thing that he most wanted to give
himself—a shiny red sled striped with
gilt, and adorned with a picture of a rain
deer at full speed.
"You're very kind, sir," said Chubby,
gratefully as he turned to go.
"I don't know as I am," said Mr. Marsh,
"though it is time to show kindness now.
Do you know what Christmas is,Chubby?"
"Oh, yes, sir. I learned that at the
mission. It's Jesus' birthday."
"Yes, Yes. Well, we must be kind for
His sake. Whore do you live, Chubby ?"
"Nowhere."
"But whore do you stay Where do
you seep ?.'

Chubby 1 hail a dream as he
asleep on the rat; bet !Ile stove. It he
had not dreamed. my story would have
been shorter ; or perhap., i sit u',l
hays tool it at all. Chubhy dreamoil that
he was wandering. about Ow stre°t4 a'
oi lit. with six parrs under his arm. and
drawing his new sled. It way lout; the
swops were all shut, anil there was a
soul in the streets, not even a watchman.
Chubby was trying to find the ero , l:Pry
crate, hut he could not ; and the more Ito
looked for it the further off lie got, and
the more bewildered and tired be grew.
At last he sat down on his sled in despair,
and feeling, a great deal more like crying
than anything else he could think sit'.
That, however, be determined not to do,
cotne what would.
"Jrtst then he heard sleigh bells—the
tinniest, dreamiest littln tinkle that he
ever heard in his life—and in a moment
up cantered eight reindeer, just like the
one on his sled, only no bigger than grey
hounds, drawincr a sleigh made of pearl
and tortoise shell, with silver Chills and
gold runners, in which sat Santa Claus
himself, a funny old fellow, dressed from
head to foot in shaggy gray fur, and lo•)k
-ing fat and stumpy enough to be Chubby's
own brother. As he dashed by Chubby
oalled out :
":cello, you ! I say, mister, gi' m a
hitch !"
"Whish sh-sh !" said Santa; and the
eight reindeers stopped as quick as a wink,
and stood stamping and knocking their
horns together in the most impatient man
ner. "Who's that calling ?" cried the
little man, standing up and looking all
about.
"I did," said Chubby. a little frightened,
stepping out into the clear moonlight.
"Oh, you did ? Yes, a boy, of course
I might have known it was a boy. Can't
stop to talk. Got miles and miles to ride.
Call around day after to morrow if you
want anything."
"I only wanted to ask you"—
"Yes, yes; I know. You want to ask
about presents. It's all right, all right.
List all made out. Goods packed and la •
baled. Couldn't change any thing now.
Run right honie and go to bed ; there's a
good lad."
"I haven't any home," tail Chubby ;
"I'm going to sleep in the crate back o'
the lamp store, and I just wanted a birch ;
that's all, sir."
"A hitch ! That's a fine idea ? Why,
your sled would be smashed to pieces, and
your neck- broken, in no time. what's
your name ?"
- "Chubby Buff."
"lisn't on my ; that's a fact.
haven't any home, hey ?"
"No, sir."
"Wish I'd brought one or two alon4, I
declare. I'd give you one in a minute.
Well, jump in here. I'll give you a ride,
any way."
"What shall I do with my sled ?" asked
Chubby.
"Put it in the magic box." And Santa
lifted up the velvet cushion of the : , .:at.
"See there !" said he. And Chubby look
ed in, and saw a deep box full of miniatnre
Christmas presents. There were rocking
horses no larger than a baby's thumb; and
dolls no bigger than pin-heads ; and tops,
balls, books, games, candies, suits of clothes
—every thing you could think of—but al;
so very little "That's the way I carry
my load," said Santa. "When I put any.
thing in there it shrinks right up. When
I take it out again it is as big as ever."
And sure enough, he dropped in Chubby's
sled, and it changed in an instant to the
size of your little finger-nail. "Now we're
off," said he. "Tsit !"
The reindeers gave a bound, and up
they went, sleigh, Santa, Chubby and all,
to the roof of the nearest house. Santa
filled his pack from the magic box, and
disappeared down a chimney. la a quar
ter of a minute out he popped again, like
a jumping jack, hissed to his team, and
with one spring they had cleared the street
and landed in the next block. Again Santa
filled his pack and skipped through a scuttle.
. .
And so he went on with his work—now
here, now there ; now on the roof, now
down in the streets ; now entering by the
chimneys or scuttles, now climbing through
the windows. The reindeers did wonders.
They seemed to understand 'he whole
thing as well as Santa himself, and made
the wildest leaps without hesitation or mis
take. Sometimes, when they were flying
through the air, Chubby would •hint- they
were surely going to be dashed to pieces.
and would shut his eyes in terror ; but
they always came out right.
The magic box seemed to be inexhaus
tible. Santa Claus filled his pack from it
hundreds of times, until, as he told Chub
by, he had taken forty carloads of pres•
cuts from it. lie would reach iu and pick
up a little mite of a thin(r—a tip cart, per
haps, or a drum—that he could hold be
tween his thumb and finger, when, presto :
the instant it came out of the box it would
be as big as ever. Chubby never grew
tired of watching these changes, and often
laughed outright to see what looked like a
wooden mosquito suddenly swell out into
a wooden ox or au elephant.
Sotnetimesas Santa was loading his pack.
he would tell Chubby who the different
gifts wire for, and what sort o: people
they were. And Chubby was greatly per.
plexed to find that many of the nicest
things were for very naughty children,
and that many of the most costly things
were fur the rich, who did not need them,
while good boys and girls were often put
off with a very meagre gift, and the poor.
too, often with nothing at all. But when
he asked Santa about it, the old man shook
his head, and said that he could not go
into that question then ; that it had per
plexed wiser folks than Chubby; and that
he did not rightly understand it himself
"There is one other question I should
like to ask," said Chubby.
"What is it ?''
"I should like to know why your pack
seems sometimes to be very light when
there are heavy things in it, and very
heavy when `here are light things in it."
"Now you have bit upon my greatest
secret," said Santa.

'What, sir said Chubby.
;Chubby," said Mr. Marsh, "doyuu like
selling papers for a living?"
"It's the best T can do, sir."
"But suppose I emld help you to do
something better--to beanie a merchant,
fur instance'!"
-I should like that very much, sir."
••Well, I've been thinking about it sine,:
la , c night, Chubby, and I have taken a
notion that vun ntight make a praty fair
merchant. It it would suit pot. I ata—"
••()h. it wouk snit me. sir. I'm sure "
"Well ; then. I'll give you :t pla'v right
here in my store."
'•You're very kind, sir. -
-That remair.s to be seen. I may lit' do
ing you a kindness, and I may be doing
myself one ; perhaps both ; perhaps neit her.
We can better tell by-and by."
Aria so it was arranged that Chubby
should become a clerk in the store ;
better still, that he should, for the present
at least, hoard in Mr. Marsh's famiiy.
how about the A led ?" a.4lLe - . 1 Mr.

I think. sir.'' said ehnbby, "that I
would like to 1 with it as I did io the•
dream, and give it to somebody that needs
it more than I do."
"Do you know such a one:"
"Oh, yes, sir. There's limping Peter,
that used to &long to our club, and ' )t
run over by a dray. I shall give it to hiut.•"
And so Chubby Ruffs dream enne true
—the best part of it, at lea-t. Ile got a
Christmas present of a home, and begun
his more prosperous life by doing a little
good for Jesus' sake.
