were practicing for Christm?
exercises and were fancily

One little girl brushed against

typhoid feyer, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungsjtacame hardened. I was so
weak I conldu't even ait up in bed;
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when T heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. ' 1 continued to use it

"THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS
Twas night after Christmas, and
all through the town
The nurses were running, some
up and some down
The doctor was wanted, for
plague on Old Nick,
His visit had made all the little
ones sick;
His cakes were too nice and his
pies were too sweet,
That from morning till night
they could do nothing but
eat.
Their hearts were all light, and
peeped out of their eyes;
Their stomachs all tight, and
chock full of mince pies!
They were merry as larks and
no care for tomorrow,
Unmindful that joy is soon fol
lowed by sorrow;
The lights were all out and the
blinds were all closed;
Papa and mamma in deep slum
ber reposed;
The cat on the hearth-rug was
licking her paws,
And seemed to be thinking of old
Santa Claus;
The fire in the chimney burned
cheerful and bright,
And the frost on the panes shone
like crystals of light;
jThe tea-kettle bubbling before
the warm blaze
Was singing . the dirge of once
happier days!
:The clock on the, jnantle had
jus.t sounded Qne
And announced that another new
,1 day "had begun
When, hark ! ' from the nursery, a
solo of moans, -' :'
Then a duet of sobs, . with a
.chorus of groans,
Broke in on the stillness and
silence of night,
And threw the whole house in
commotion and fright.
The mother's quick ear first en
countered the sound;
She sprang up in bed, and sprang
out with a bound;
But papa had oft witnessed such
tumults before
And the louder, the groans, why
the louder he'd snore.
And, oh ! such a, sight was ne'er
w witnessed before,
The children were , rolling about
on the floor;
The bed clothes were mined, the
carpet was spoiled,
And their pretty , night dresses
were rumpled and soiled;
The nurse, all bewildered, was
fretting and grieving,
The children in concert were
retching and heaving;
They kicked and they twisted,
and they squirmed all
about
She was sure that. their bowels
were turned inside out.
. 'Oh, I'm so sick ! I shall die of
this pain." -'
I shall never : touch Santa
Claus' candy again!" '
Poor mat in a flutter, threw her
sad eyes.
Little Bob,' with a splutter,
threw up his mince-pies,
AndLSt. Nick, who was peeping,
, cried out with a titter:
"In every sweet there is a drop
1 that is bitter:
But cheer up, my children, you'lL
soon be all right,"
And cracking his-whip be was
soon out of sight.
The cries were all oyer, and all
went to bed; .
Sweet slumber soon fell upon
each dizzy head;
The life-blood; again freely
coursed through their
. veins,
And dreams', of ; St. Nicholas
danced through r their
brains; . . ..
With a smile tKey awoke frojn
their visions of bliss
As mamma on each, rosy lip
planted a kiss;
And they vowed-that in spite ; of
all sicknessand pain
They'd hang up tjieir stockings
" next Christmas- again. -
