THE CHRISTMAS BABY.
Hoot 1 ye little rascal 1 ye oome it on me
thie- way,
Crowdin' perself amongst us this bluster.
in' Winter's day,
Knowin that we already have three of ye
and seven,
An tryin to make yerself out a Christmas
present o' heaven 1
Ten of ye have we now, sir, for this world
to abuse ;
An Bobbie he have no waistcoat, an Nel-
lie she have no shoes,
An Sammie he have no shirt, sir, (1 tell
it to his shame,)
An the one that was just before ye we
Mot had time to name 1
An all o' the banks be smaahin an on tis
poor folks fall ;
An boas be whittles the wages when
work's to be had at all. ;
An Tom have out his foot off and 'lies in
a woful plight,
Au all of us wonders at mornin as to
what we shall eat at night 1
An but for your fattier and Sandy a-
findin somewhat to do,
An but for the preacher's woman, who
often helps ns through,
An bat for your poor dear mother a-doin
twice her part,
Ye'd seen us all in heaven afore ye was
ready to start I
An now ye have come, ye rascal, so fat,
an healthy an sound,
A-weighin, i'll wager a dollar, the full of
a dozen pound 1
With yer mother's eyes a-flashia, yer
father's flesh and build,
An a good big mouth and stomaoh all
ready to be filled I
No, no 1 don't ory, my baby 1 bush up
my pretty one 1
Dont get my chaff .in yer eye, boy -I
onlywas just in fun ;
Yell like us when ye know ns, although
we're cur'u i folks ;
But we dont get much victual, an half
our livin ie jokes 1
Why, boy, did ye take me in earnest ?
Some sit upon my knee ;
I'll tell ye a secret, youngster, I'll name
ye after me ;
Ye shall have all yer brothers an sisters
with ye to play,
An ye shall have yer carriage an ride out
every day I
Why, boy, do ye think ye'll suffer? I'rn
gettin a trifle old,.
Bat it'll be many years yet before I lose
my hold ;
An if I should fall on the road, boy, still,
them's yer brothers, there,
An not a mane of 'em ever would see ye
harmed a hair 1 O
Say 1 when ye Dame from heaven, my
little
namesake e
a d ear,
Did ye see'tnonget the little girls a face
like tbie one here ?
That was yer little sister—she died a
" year ago,
An all of ue Dried like babies when they
laid her under the snow I
Hang it 1 if all the rioh man I ever see
or know
Cama here with all their traps, boy, an
offered 'em for you,
I'd show 'em to the door, sir, so quick
they'd think' it odd,

Hark 1 What's that 1
Mrs, MoSwat sat up and listened.
Billig&'r I she exclaimed in a hoarse
whisper, shaking her snoring husband.
I hear a noise 1
Wh.wh-what ? Where ? said Mr. Mo -
Swat, waking. What's the matter, Lo-
belia ?
Sh I Listen 1 There it is again 1 Its
down stairs, Billiger ; somebody's in the
house 1
Billiger listened a moment.
She was right.
There was a noise down stairs—a shut
fling, stealthy kind of noise, as if made
by somebody who was unacquainted with
the premises and had no business there.
He rose, dressed himself by thrusting
his feet ins pair of slippers and pulling
on a dressing gown. Then be lighted a
dark lantern be had purchased for emer•
genies of this kind, armed himself with
O patent carpet stretcher—one of ,the
deadliest weapons known to soienoe—and
turned to his wife.
Lobelia, be whispered huskily, remain
here 1 You can do no good. I will meet
this invader alone. But stay, if there
should be more than one and you hear
me nail out, you may come to the top of
the stairs and yell. Make all the noise
you can. It will convey the impression
that we are expecting them and are pre-
pared.
With his dark lantern and the deadly
carpet stretcher be started slowly down
the stairway, coughing loudly as he want.
Mrs.. MoSwat listened with eagerness.
Sha could hear Billiger rasping his ter-
rible weapon against the balustrade and
coughing with a violence that .increased
every moment.
Presently the
noise ceased, sd, It
> was
evident that Billiger was soarohing the
house to slip upon the marauders un-
awares. r
Then tlrsrs•oame a wild y011.
Without waiting to assure herself
whether it Dame from Billiger or the
burglars, Mrs, MoSNat seized a obair,
ran to the head of the stairs, soreamed
with all tier might, tumbled the obair
down to the floor below, rushed bask for
the washbowl and pitcher, Bent them fly-
ing after the chair, heeled down a broom,
another chair, a small trunk, a bootjack,
and several other Retiolee of a portable
nature that stood or lay within resell,
her voice ringing out all the timein a
series of wild shrieks.
While the din was at its height liar.
Billiger MaSwat appeared att1,e foot of
the stairs.

Burglar? No I It woe only the oat,

And all the rest of the brag, weary

The three boat things—Dome, mother
and Jesus.
Mother does the most and gets the
lomat pay.
From the mother's pulpit is preached
the shortest sermons but they do the
most good.
If there is but one Christian in the
family let that one be the mother.
Who first taught us to 'say "Oar
Father ?" Mother.
Second to Christ's love is mother's.
The richest palace withouta mother's :
love is barren.
A mother's love in the home is what
sunshine is: to the earth.
