TO THE WITNESS LITTLE FOLKS.
Merry Christmas! little children, Laugh and dunce and sing and play, Sweet it is to see you happy On this golden Christmas day. I had seen dull Sorrow hiding In a C'-rner dark one day ; But tin- merry children laughed a* That they laughed him light away. On the hills and in the woodlands, On the boa and on the hud, We may see your hughiug faces, When glad Christmas is at hand. But when ho'idays are over, And yon hear the i-cbool bell peal, Down your Iwppy, laughing faces Sometimes silvery teardrops bteaL But, you silly little darlings. Stop, and say with every chime, " Ere this same New Year is ended Comes another Christmas time I Christmas, 1894. -Ada A. K. Luoforp.
