Akunal Visit of St. Nickolas.

'Twas the niglit before Christmas, when all thro'
the house,
Not n creature was stirring, not even a !wive ;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would he there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plunis danced through their
heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains fire a long white's nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such a chatter,
I sprang from my bea to see what was the matter ;
Away to th! window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and through up the sash.
Tho moon on the breast ofthc new-Gillen snow,
Clare the kistre of mid-day to objeet9 below ;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But it ntinnture sht4ll, and eight tiny reindeer,
Witt a tittle old driver, so lively and quirk,
I knew in a moment it must be old Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and culled them by
name;
"Now.bnsher! now, Dagher! now, Prancer! now,
Vixen !
On, Comet ! on, Cupid! on, Dander and Blixen !
To the top of the porch ! to the top of tie wall !
Now, dash away, (lash away, dash away all!" .
As the leaves that before the Iturrient.e fly,
When they meet an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers flew,
With the sleigh thll of toys—and St. Nicholas too;
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The pouncing and pawing of c.tell little hoof.
As I drew in lay head mai was turning :wound,
Down the chimney Nicholas entne with a bound.
lie was dressed all in fur, from his head to his fum,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and
soot ;
A humile of toys be hod flung on his bock,
And he looked like u pedlar just opening his puck ;
Ills eyes—hols they tiiilikkxl.! his dimples hew
merry!
hl if cheeks were like roses, Ids nose like at cherry
His droll little month was drawn up like t how,
And the heard (adds chin was us whitens the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
Ile had it broad flute, and X little round belly,
Then shook, when he laugl.bl, like a hotel full of
lle was'ebubby and plump; an right jolly old elf;
And I laughed, when I saw him, in spite of myself,
A wink of his eye, and a twit of his head,
Soon gave me to know that 1 ' I nothing to dread.
Ile spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And tilled all the stocking s,then turned with a jerk,
And laying his linger aside or his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
Ile sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like the down off a thistle.
lint I heard hint exclaim ere be drove out of sight . ,
