The Christmas Tree.
the Christmas tree so bright and green, awaits Old Santa Claus, And the chimney place, all swept and clean, gapes wide its ponderous jaws. The little stockings are all hung up, and baby's just makes four. Won't Old Santa Claus be surprised when he finds there ia one more ! There's an elegant place up in the tree to hang Johnny's gun, and a place for May, and one for Kate, to leave their dolls upon. But for little baby blue eyes a lower branch he must choose, where she may reach and find the place he's hung her first new shoes. Turn down the light a little, now, so Old Santa Claus can see. And baby and all must go to bed and be as good as good can be, and to-morrow morn get up early, after a long ni g h t's sleep, and come softly down to the Xmas tree, and see ■ Who will get the first peep.
