THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING
A RECIFE Take some human nature —as you find it, Tlio commonest variety will do— Put a lillln gi-aeiousness behind it. Add a lump of charily—or I wo. Squeeze m just a drop of moderation: Half as iinieli frugality—or less, Add some very line coiisideralion, Strain oil all of poverty’s distress. Pour some milk of human kindness in it. i'u! in ail tlio happiness you can. Stir it up with laughter every minute. 'Season with goodwill toward every man. Set it on tiie fire of heart’s affection, Leave it till Ihe jolly bubbles rise, Sprinkle l it with kisses for confection. Sweeten with a look from loving eyes. Flavour it with children's merry chillier, Frost iL with the snow oF wintry dells, Place it on a holly-garnished, platter And serve it with lliu song of ClirisLmns bells
