THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING.

(A RECIPE.) Take sonic human naturc-ras you find it, The commonest variety will do — Put 11 little graciousness behind it, Add a lump of charity—or two. Squeeze in just a drop of moderation; Half as much frugality—or less, Add some very fine consideration, Strain oil' all of poverty's distress. Pour some milk of human kindness in it, Put in all the happiness you can. Stir it up with laughter every minute, Season with good will toward every man Set it on the fire of heart's affection, Leave it till the jolly bubbles rise, Sprinkle it with kisses for confection, Sweeten with a look from loving eyes. Flavour it with children's merry chatter, Frost it with the snow of wintrv dells, Place it on a holly-garnished platter And serve it with the song of Christmas hells.
