A IdiiK i.iaic ago a little girl asked lK‘r srandmolhor to loll her a Clirisl- aias slury. 'I'liis is iho slory she toli luT, almost verbatim. Whoa .she was a litilo girl, graad- nintlu'r lived in a place in Virtiinia callcd l.oiUhor'.VKDfl liofauso ol' the largo aiimbor of loatliorwood trees. It was ill liio winter of IS.^7 that graiul- nioilier, her father, her mother; llireo broihiirs, and a sisicr docidcd to visit sunie frloiicl.s and rehuivos In a iioarliy city. They wore to stay a week or two, Including Christmas day. When ilie eventful day of their de- panure came, the ground was covered wiih snow, and it was still .snowing whoa they started, for they would not allow a few snow flakes to break up such a ileliglitfut trip to w'hioh they had been looking forward for so long a time. Hefore this, they had alway.s traveled in their own carriage with their own eoachinan sitting on his high box. But, joy of joys, this time iliey wore to ride in a stage coach, with iho driver sitting high up on the top of the coach. He had a bugle on whlcli ho occasionally blew several louti liliiHis, whlcii maiie the horses rear and pnincc iind cut many funny capers. It was all iittio grandmother could do ic> keep still and not prance and dance with I ho iiiirses. Soon the clouds grew dark, the snow came so thick and fast that the driver could hardly keep his horses in the road. The sound of the bugle was hiishoil. It was such a blizzard as not Merry Christmas Matilda Hoi.licman, '31 I 'Tis just four in early morning, When skies are cold and gray The snow-cover'd world Is sleeping JuBt waiting for the day. II Just then we hear a whispering A tread upon the stair Two little spirits are coming See the Are glow on their hair, III Are these St. Nick’s helpmates. That come the socks to flll? Or are they God’s own angels "With a message of good will? IV Do tiny elves come stealing And to the babies sing And do these spirits of heaven Sweet lullabies to them bring? V Smiling faces peeping at the door Shy little eyes smiling through When the first gay little sunbeam Smiles against the curtain blue. ' VI Boughs of holly and mistletoe Bring reality to the day To decorate for dear old Santa To cheer him on his way. VII In the big old Christmas cedar Shines the tinsel in the sun As it greets us all with welcome "Merry Christmas—everyone.” even the oldest inhabitant had seen before. Soon the horses stopped at a way.4ide inn. The passengers found that the driver was almost frozen to deatii. With much difliculty they loosened him from his elevated seat. With icicles hanging from his hair, beard, and clothes be really .seemed to I hem “moi'e dead than alive.” Grand- mother, who had been wrapped so snugly did not even get cold, Tiie next morning quite a few of the passengers insisteil on trying tlie road again, es pecially Graiuhnother’s family as they were very anxious to reach their destination in time for the Christmas eeiei)rations. It boR'aii ti snow again soon after they set out. Tiic snow drifts became HO dec|i that they could travel hardly a mile an hour. Finally they reached a liitli! cabin, where they decided lo .spend the night. The next morning grandmotlicr a. high-spirited woman, decided that she could not possibly remain in that house anolhcr night. So they hired a wagon and loam and went on a few miles farther. It had taken them so long, however, that it was almost night fall. After much digging and shovel ing, they came lo a very nice, roomy- looking liouse, They were taken in, and after about a week at this place, tliey ventured out again, this time, on horseback, as no vehicle could yet travel. Of coursc, with all this delay, they wore too late for the many pleasant things that might have been theirs had it not snowed so hard, Grandmother ended her story In the following words: "I'ho saddest thing to mo is thai my ride in that stage coach was cut short, and that bugle—I can hear It now in fancy, and whenever I really hear a bugle, it puis now life into ine."
