a fjisit frzom st. l□^cfc^oLas by Clement C. Moore

Wiis ihu nii*ht buloru Christmas, when all through ihu house Nol a CKMluru was slirrin”, nol evun a mouse; The slot kini’s were' hung by ihe chimney with t are, In hopes that Si. Nicholas soon would be there;

I he children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced through their heads; And Mamma in her 'kerchiel, and I in my cap, I lad just settled our brains tor a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter; Away to the window I flew like a flash. Tort' open the shutters and threw up the sash.

I le was dressed all in fur, Irom his head to his loot. And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot! A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he lookt'd like a pedlar just opening his pat k;

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of midday 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 quit k, 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:

His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! 11 is droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.... I he 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 laugh'd, like a bowlful of jelly.

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now, dash away! clash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew. With a sleigh full of toys—and St. Nicholas too!

I le was chubby and plump; a right jolly old elt ; And I laughed, when I saw him, in spite of myselt. A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head. Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. I le 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.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The prancin&and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle. And away they all flew, like the down off a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all! and to all a good night!"

Good wishes from your friends at the electric company.
