CHRISTMAS
PBESENT
BY WILLIS BROOKS '
ELNATHAN TODD kep' company
With Lucy Kerr so tarnal
long
Tho women all declared that he
Was doln' her n groejous wrong.
They Mowed he ought to let her know
What his .Intentions reely were,
Or give somebody else a show
To come a-shinln' up to her.
But always when Elnathan tried
To pop the question so I've heared
He'd stammer like his tongue was tied
And choke all up, he wns so skeered.
And Lucy, beln' bashful, too,
Would set and trem'le like a leaf,
And havin' nothin' else to do
Would gnaw her pocket han'kerchlef.
At last the women folks agreed
'Twas time for them to take a hand,
So, under Wldder Barton's lead,
They told the parson what they plan
ned.
'
0 ltt.Cl.
And, beln's that tho parson was
Pursuln' of the wldder's heart,
He 'lowed they had a righteous cause
And promised he would do his part.
So when the Chrls'mns doln's were
The church was full as full could be,
And all the gals but Lucy Kerr
Got presents from the Chris'mas tree,
At last the parson, with a smile,
Called Lucy's nnd Elnathan's names,
And they went blushin' up the aisle,
Not knowln' of the women's alms.
"Take hold o' hands," the parson said,
And, not suspectln' what It meant,
Before they knowed it they were wed,
Both havin' give their full consent.
Then all the congregation stood,
While Widder Barton pitched the key,
And ev'rybody sang that good
Old hymn, "What Shall the Harvest
Be?"
CHRISTMAS 100 YEARS AGO.
Apprehension Felt From British Navy
In the War of 1812.
Six months of tho war or SVi linU
elupxcd when tho people of tho United
States celebrated Christmas n hundred
years ngo. Hull hud surrendered De
troit, but nuntlier Hull bud won n de
cided victory over the llrltlnh ship
(juerrlcre. whllo another ship, tho
United States, had captured tho Mnce
doiilnn. In New York n great Christ
ians tin liquet was given to Captain
Isaac Hull, cotnmiiiidliig tho Constitu
tion. "Old Ironsides," which hud won
the tmttlo with the Cuerrlere, and to
Captain .Stephen Decatur, coinmuiider
of tho United States.
The Immiiiut was given In tho City
hotel, which occupied tho wholo front
of a block from Cedar to Thnmes
streets, in tho vicinity of Wnll street.
Till, was i he last Christmas festival
In New Vnrk till nfter the signing of
the pence trenty. for In INK! the city
wns plunged Into black despnlr over
tho fenr or tho llrltlsli uuvy and tho
(listless th'it hnd been cnused to our
commerce nnd shipping.
Looked nt from this dlstnnco, It
seems llttlo less thnu n mlrnclo that
tho comparatively puny American navy
should havo whipped tho navy or Great
Britain, then tho greatest In tho world.
Tho pnnle In which our chief seaport
town was thrown by tho fenr or attack
from tho mistress of the seas Is easily
understood.
