THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
CLZIktICRT C. MOOBIC.,
' , Twee the n'ght before Christmai, when a:I through
the htuse .
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were bung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nichol. s soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their bed: ,
While visions of sugar-plums danced In their bads;
And mamma In ner kerchief. and lin myesp-_.
Had met settled our brains for a long wieter.,;.--
s nap-
When rat on tbelawn there rose, such a elate & ,
I sprang from tElir bed to see what was the matter:.
Away to the wltiliow I flew like a flash. - 1 ..
T.rt open the shutters and threw tip the
The moon, on the breast of the new fallen snow,
13aTa a lustre of miti-day to sheets below:
When. what to my wondering dyes should appear.
Bat a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein.deer,
With a little old driver, so lively and qu.ck, '
I knew in a moment It must be Bt. Nlek. •
More rapid than eagles bile coursers they rime,
And he whistled, 'Ad sheeted, and called them by
name,
"It'w catherl now, Dancer! now, Prancer and
On! VixenL
Ct met,, , on! Cupid' owl Mazda' and Blitsen-;
To, t e top of the porch. to the top of the wall .
-310 , dash away, dash away, dash away all"
As dry leaves that before the wild hut ricane n 7,
When they meet wi h . .. . . .... nt. to the sky,
_
- . .
.I'OOlP se- op_the coursers they flew, •
'With a sleigh In 1 of toys—and tit. Nicholas, too.
And •hen In a twinkling i heard on the roof.
The prancing and pawing el each lilac hoof,
As I drew In U head, mad was turning around,
Down the chimney B. Nicholas c with • boon'',
He was dressed all in fat from his head to his foot,
Ann his clothes-were all tarnished with at hes and
soot;
A inatidle of toys he bad dun . c on his back.
And ha leoked like a pedlar ust epening his pack;
Inn eb es bow they twinkled 1 is dimples how =errs I
His cheek. were 'lke roses, his nose like a cherry;
Itht droll little month was drawn op like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth...
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
Netad a broad face, and a little round belly. '
That shook when eel:milted. likes bowlfall of Jelly.
lie was chubby and plump—a right jolly old ell;
And I laughed when t raw lOW In spite of myself,
A wink er his eye are a twist of his held.
boon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, bat went straight to'hl a Work.
And tilled all the stoekinga.• then turned with &jerk,
And laying." linger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he
110 sprang to his slash, to his tea= gave a whistle.
And away they all flew. like, the down of a thistle;
Ent I heard ban exclaim, ire he drove out or debt:
thLanitY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. AND TO ALL A GOOD
NIGHT!” '
