Little Old Town
WEJJj, Christmas Is coming, and all
the day long
My thoughts have been running
away.
With an echoing In ugh and the lilt of a
song
To an old-fashioned Christ mas day—
To a big old house -n little old town,
Where you and the others and 1
Made merry together, with never a frown
And never a thought of a sigh
The big old house in the little old town.
Oh, how It would rook with our mirth.
And gather us gladly and middle us down.
The' homiest place on the earth.
It
(1 ran are the old window-scat yet)
It may have been shabby n bit h*re and
there—
Well, those ere the things we lorget.
But, oh! the mysterious secrets it Knew.
That old house, when Christmas was
coming,
And the laughter and fun ringing through
it and through,
And the voices and somebody humming;
And the hour when around the piano we’d
meet,
Tee, even in busy December
Fo an old Christmas hymn with its har
mony sweet—
Ah, those ere the things we remember.
And then you recall how the midnight
train down
Would bring bach a sister or brothers,
To ihe big old house in the little oh) town,
Where Christmas meant home and the
o there.
And the old house was: looking its holiday
best,
And the table all spread for the feast;
With an extra chair set for the holiday
guest,
Some stranger, "one of the least."
The big old bouse in the little .old town
They tell me the years are unkind.
It looks bare and neglected, its fence
tumbles down
Since we scattered and left it behind
No, 1 haven't been back; I would rather
recall
The days of its glory gone by,
When wc tied to its arms for the best day
of all,
You amt the others end 1.

VISION
LAST night I crept across the snow
Where only tracking rabbits go
And there I waited. quite alone
Until the Christinas radiance shone.
At midnight twenty angels came
I ach white and id n'.r.ff like s fla* \e.
At midnight twenty angels sang,
The stars swung out like lulls, and ran*.
They lifted me across the hill.
They bore mo !n their srme until
A greater glory greeted them,
It was the town of Bethlehem.
And gently, then, they set me down.
All worshiping that holy town.
And gently, then, they hade me raise
My head to worship and to praise
And gently, then, the Christ smiled down*.
Ah, there was glory in that town!
Tt was a.s If the world were free
And glistening in purity.
There, in that vault of crystal blue,
It was as if the world were new,
And myriad angels, file on tile, (
Gloried in the ChriSt-child's smile
tt was so beautiful to see,
Sin h Rlory for a child like ine,
So beautiful, it does not seem
It could have been a Christmas dream

THE name given by the sujclen'
Goths and .Saxons to the festivrf
of the winter solstice was Jul, or
Yule. r llie latter term is still re
reived by ihe Scotch.
The burning of the Yule log, know®
by other names in continental Europe,
was an ancient. Christmas ceremony
descending from the Scandinavians
who at their feast of Jul used tv
kindle huge bonfires in honor of they.-'
god Thor. Similar bon Aren were kin
died in Europe and elsewhere at un*.
summer solstice.
The English ceremony of bringing 1
in and burning the Yule, log on Christ
mas eve, which still has its local nur
vivalu, was full of picturesque detail
The log was a massive piece of
frequently the rugged and grotesque r
marked root of an oak.
It was drawn in triumph from ft*
resting place amid shouts and laugh
