THE OLD TIME CHRISTMAS,
WHO CAN EVER FORCET THE OLD HOME, THE

TIME CHRISTMAS OF CHILDHOOD.
I dreamed of my childhood,
Through tho lonu, weary night;
I played with my o imrades
Till the coming of light;
I could see the old cedars,
All covered with snow,
As I spent ono more Christmas
Of the long, long, ago I
I could see all our stockings
As they hung o'er thehuanh
Of ihe old him i bui't by father
The place of my birth
While tho old clock had plodded
Away up to nine,
Just the same as it used to
In the old, olden time I
1 could soo in the dislanco
The old forest hoar;
I heard the storm raging,
And the deep thunder roar;
I heard the rain tinkling
On the beards of the roof
And it set a thousand fancies
Weaving mem'rics to woof I
Then I thought of dear sisier,
Whose soul was my light ;
Ah, I heard the rain falling
On her lone grave that night I
Dear girl, many summers
Have passed o'er thy grave ;
Oft the chill blasts of winter
Through the deep forest rave I
I saw my dear father,
Just as plain as could be,
As he knelt at the altar
Still preoious to me;
And my dear saintly mother;
We sat by tho spring
Where the vines used to olustcr,
And sweet mem'rics cling.
Yes, I dreamed of my childhood
Throughout Christmas night;
I prayed with my comrades
Till the coming of light;
I oould see all our stockings
As they bung o'er tho hearth
Of the home built by faiher,
The place of my birib I
