Page-10 The Haileyburian "Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, even a mouse; "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hope that St. Nicholas soon - would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar danced in their heads; And Mama in her kerchief, and I in my Cap, Had just settled our brains for a long Winter nap; When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. not plums Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash, The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow, < Gave a lustre of midday to objects below; When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid tan eagles his courses they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name. "Now,. Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Donder and Blixen-- To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an: obstacle, mount to the sky, So,. up. to the house-top courses they flew, the SUEIEIEIE IERIE ERK PN IAN McDIARMID Insurance HAILEYBURY AAAARRARAAA AANA RR ZAMAN a ia a a Dia i a Be wa aa EN De eee een een ee nen Thursday, December 22, 1960 tA Usit Jen St Vhichotas With the sleigh full of toys -- and St. Nicholas, too. And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. ; He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, : And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled; his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, nose like a cherry; His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. his He was chubby and plump -- a right jolly old elf; : And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, . And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, ~ And laying his' finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle; And: away they all- few like the down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight: "Happy Christmas to all, all a good night!" and to Innkeeper's Lament "Had I turned a rich man out Just to make a place for them, *Twould have killed without a doubt ' All my trade in Bethlehem. "Then there came the rich men three To the stable in the morn. To announce they'd come to see The | great eee that had been born." And they brought Him gifts of myrrh, Costly frankincense and gold, And a great light shone on her In the stable bleak and cold. "All my patrons now are dead And forgotten, but to-day All the world to peace is led By the ones I turned away. "It was my unlucky fate To be born that inn to own, Against Christ I shut the gate-- Oh, if I had only known!"'

Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! Then from each black, accursed mouth cannon thundered in South, And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good will to men! The the It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep! The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men!"' --Longfellow About Decorations Keep -the following points in mind when decorating your home for the yule season. --~ 1. Include some symbol of the season in your decoration plans. A Nativity scene would be ideal. Have some kind of religious 'deco- ration or your decorations will be incomplete. 2. Encourage your children to help in the decorating. 3. Fresh flowers such as bloom- ing poinsettias add that extra something to your arrangements. 4. All decorations should har- monize. 5. Keep them simple. Baked Prune Whip Baked prune whip is an easy dessert to put together. Combine one cup chopped cooked prunes with three tablespoons confec- tioners' sugar, dash salt and one teaspoon lemon juice. Fold in three stiffly beaten egg whites. Yurn into buttered i1-quart cas- serole. Set in pan of water and bake in moderate oven about 30 minutes. pecoeeereneqeecncenecreersceninecrececcrenasee | i . \ _ Jo all our good"friends, we send our Yh \ pciciest thanks, for their palleneee and good will, alongwith our heapiest wishes ft for their mie throught the nse a Me © FSIDINALIN ie ; ec DEWEY'S Sc to $1.00 STORE HAILEYBURY | i213 Bi Die Bi BBB DAB BD D DDI DID/DDI DADE airiciaig Gielina nw bua tON NCE IEW RIAL CEG ans EMEC BEB NH aaa aaa SIR RASA OAS AO a : We wish you a won- derful Christmas.
