A CHRISTMAS MEMORY.

(Madeline S. Bridges, in the Club'). Do you remember one Christmas night ? But, perhaps, you forget, 'tis so Long ago ! When, muffled in fur robes, out of sight, You rode with me through the drifting snow, Packed in old Farmer Jerry's sled .' •' Yes, I remember that," she said. Do you remember the farmhouse brown, The open door and the ruddy glow Where we stopped, and I swung you lightly down And held you for one dear moment, so — The snowfiakes crowning your hooded head ? '• Yes, I remember that," she said. Do you remember when, later grown — Oh, the thought of it brings a thrill of bliss 1 How we stood 'neath the mistletoe, alone, And I timidly kissed you — onee — like this ? " Yes, but your memory seems misled, For you kissed me a dozen times," she said.
