NICHOLAS’ T”HE MAN who wrote the mo * celebi ated of all Christm; poems wasn't proud of it. Clement Clarke Moore, Ph, I d;d not i are to have his name idci titled with the jingles that were, i spite of his wishes, to make hi immortal. His “A Visit From S Nicholas,” better known as "T1 Night Before Christmas,” was ns published under his name for moi than 20 years ufte- he composed i on the spur of the moment, o Christmas Eve. 1S22. A graduate of a divinity scho< who was never ordained, Dr. Moor was Bun professor of Greek an (oriental Literature in the (Episcc pal) General Theological Seminar and the author of the first Hebrew English lexicon. He lived in a rule Dial mansion upon a slope just wes ot Ninth avenue, between Twenty ■a , ,,nd and Twenty-third street.' Manhattan. The name of the estate Cla Isea, is still borne by that whul district of New York. The professor's wife, Catharin laylor Moore, v. as making up has !,■ ts lor the pro r for Trinity Far i-h tl at Christmas Eve when sir discovered she didn’t have cnougl tunc ys. She coaxed the professo from his library anil sent him ti the .“tore to get more. The streets through which In passed had real Christmas Ev< dress—snow and moonlight. Tin cheeriness of the crowds in tin streets and everything warmed uj the usually aloof t.”,-year-old sehol nr. As he walked in the street h( suddenly had the vision of Christ mas a., all children see it, and ; poem about it formed in his mind When ho reached home, he wrote down the lines and he read them that evening to his seven children, —Courtesy N. Y. Public Library Prof. Moore'* Home In the Chelsea Section of New York City. Ho had no thought of publishing the jingles, or indeed, of the poem ever going beyond his family hearthside. But it so happened that a young relative, Sarah Harriet Butler, visiting the Moores that Christmas, delightedly put a copy in her diary, and read it to her father, the Rev. David Butler, when she returned to her home in Troy. N. Y. The minister sent it next year to a newspaper, where it appeared among the miscellany, Dec. 23, 1823. The author's name was not given. Other newspapers printed the jingles. They were placed on Christmas giveaways of merchants. They quickly became known all over the country, to the embarrass ment of Dr. Moore, who feared to have it known he was the author. He considered it undignified for a man of his scholastic standing to be the author of children's jingles. Also, at that time, Christmas mer riment of any kind was frowned upon by religious zealots; and the professor had to be mindful of his position in the church.. Twenty-two years later, when, he had finally acknowledged author ship publicly, and “A Visit From St. Nichols" was brought out in book form under his ntune for the first ume, me jingles had oecome a classic in the public domain, and he could not reap royalties from all the publications. Ironically, the professor's seri ous works are forgotten today. He is mentioned in encyclopedias be cause he wrote the celebrated Christmas verses. Numerous direct descendenta erf Dr. Moore survive today; several are in New York’s Social Register. None live in Chelsea now, but Chel sea still has a link with the author: there is an annual Clement Clarke Moore Memorial service at St. Peter's Episcopal church, which he founded, endowed and served for years as warden and organist. His residence no longer stands, but the childhood home where he himself hung up Christmas stockings and waited for visits from St. Nicholas, survives in what is now Elmhurst, Ij. I. His grave, in upper Trinity cemetery, at 155th street and Broadway, is decorated each Dec. 2-ith by persons who remember with affection his now deathless lines that appear above. Prof. Mooro at Ho Vituoliiod HU Room, *ojurning from Markot on Chrlttmao Ivo-o Orawln* Mod# by tho World Ronownod Artiit WILLIAM SHARP, f Twas the ' night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse: The stockings were hung by the chim ney with care. In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of sugar-plums danced ■in their heads: And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap, Has just settled, our brains for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter1 Away to the window I flew like d flash, Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Cave the luster of mid-day 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 than eagles his coursers 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 J_Blitzen! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!" 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 turn ing 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 scot; A bundle of toys he bad 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, his nose / like a cherryf ' His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow. And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. i. And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a round little belly, That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. 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 fo know 1 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 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 flew like the down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good nightI"
