On the Way.

Christmas—lt’s a-comin'— ••' Hear it, hear It hummin’— Cornin’ o’er the valley an’ the hill! All the doors unlockin’— Hangin’ up the stockin’— Big enough for Santa Claus to fill! Slch a awful worry! Children in a flurry. Wonderin’ what Old Santa Clans’ll bring; Done forgot their playtime, Waitin’ in the daytime. To hear the reindeer bells go “ting-a-ling!” Wish ’twas done an’ ended — Toys broke an’ mended: Then a feller’d have a little rest, But bless the little facos. An’ stockin’s in their places— An’ Santa Claus’ll do his level best! —Atlanta Constitution. Good and Bad Times. If all the times was good times, An’ all the skies was bright, There wouldn't be for you an’m# Quite so much joy In sight— If every day the world was May, An’ all the skies was bright. If all the times was good times, We'd all git tired—shore, An' shift about, an’ wish ’em out. An’ show ’em to the door— If all the times was good times. An’ not a soul was poor! If all the times was good times, An’ nothin’ went to seed: With nothin’ left to hope for, An’ nothin’ left to need— We couldn't live, dear brethren, With all the ’possums treed! —Atlanta Constitution.
