Oh, it'H Christmas eve and moonlight
aud tiie Christmas air is chill.
And tke frosty Christmas holly shines
and sparklcu on the hill.
And the Curls Unas sleighbells jingle
aud the Chrisunaa laughter rings
As the last stray shoppers hurry, takin
home tha Christmas thiugs.
And up yonder in the attic there s a
little tiundie bed.
Where there's Christmas dreams a-dauc

With the little feller's stockin' hsngin
up boside the flue.
Tisn't silk, that little stockin*, and it
Isn't much fer show,
And the darns are pretty plenty rouud
ttbuut the heel aud toe.
Aud its color's kinder faded, and it's
sorter worn aud old,
Hut it really is surprlsin" what a lot of
love 'twill hold.
And that little hand that hung it by the
chimney there along
lias u gr.p upon our heartstrings thai
is mighty firm aud strong
So, old Sauty, don't forget it. though
It isn't fine uud new,
That plain little worsted stockin' hang
in' up beside the tlue.
And the crops may fall and leave us
with our plans all gone ter smash.
And the mortgage may hang hoavy, and
the bills use up the cash.
Hut whenover comes the season. Jest so
1 one's we've got a dime,
There'll be somethin' in that stockin"
won't there, Mary?—every time.
And if in amongst our sunshine there's
a shower or two of raiu.
Why. we'll face it bravely, sniilin'. and
we'll try not ter complain

The snows were piled up higher than the eaves

And me and Bill and Johunie and Aunt Jennie's

kind of laugh.
"If you young una will keep right quiet I'll play
the phonygraph."
He'd take his crutch and limp along to the corner'
of the room.
Take the album off the phonygraph aud play a
danciu* tune.
He'd play a lot of others 'till Towser'd start to
howl.
When grandpa'd put his glasses on. look at the
clock aud scowl,
And ma ould say, "it's gettin' late. Just oue more
tune to-night—
Willie, stir the tire a bit—Kate, turu dowu the

We all loved best, the oue that grandma always
used to croon.
It had an air so soft and sweet, yet 1 never heard
it through,
•Cause the tears'd come in grandpa's eyes, and
ma's aud us uns too.
Then grandpa'd stop the singer quick and ma'd
turn up the light
And whisper. "Children, say your prayers and
kiss grandpa. 'Good Night."
We'd hustle up aud Jump Into the warmest

And hear the frost a crackln* in the eaves o'er
Johnnie's head,
While we'd talk about the pretty tune, the last
one grandpa'd play.
And I'd hot Aunty's orphant Kate, he'd finish

And then we'd hear old grandpa a-goin to his

with loud roars of "noes'* sent his

A few republicans supported him
in his attack, but a score of his own

Opposition speakers charged that
the measure would send the cost of
