NICHOLAS "Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced through their heads; And Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap al My new catiat SRR )t BARGAINS IN USED: " This is a fac-simile of the cover, now ready. write for it.

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick, More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name, v “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! and Vixen! 1e ~do| g UNext Cones tiristmas & es We have more elaborately prepared for Xmas oA than ever before; our sto k contains in addition tc= ular stock, beautlful Chin, Brass Goods, Fancy !

And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof— As | drew in my head and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound, He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack; His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merryl His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up in 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; He had a broad face, and a little round belly That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And! laughed when [ saw him, in spite of myself, A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away theyall flew like the down of a thlst]e, But [ heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight, “Merry Christmas toall, and to all a good night.” I HAVE IT city.
