I see him now beneath the moon where shadows on the sun-fields dance, urging his reindeer late and soon out of the frozen north a-prance. And I can hoar old Santa’s shout and tinkling sleighbells sounding clear, the while he wheels his steeds about and welcomes all the chil dren doar. And If he strikes our town at night, when snowy silence hovers round, up to the roof with keen delight the graceful, eager reindeer bound. Then by each gusty chim ney-top the big sleigh chugs and sto|>e a bit, and with his bag does Santa drop over the edge and into it. . . Ah chll- dren in your whitest frocks, gather about the Christmaa tree, fling on the air your curly locks, and welcome Santa mer- rily. But all the time across the wave the hungry children cry for broad, and babies totter to the grave on Christmaa eve, unloved, unfed; unloved because their fathers fell on many a field of bitter fight, unfed because we fare so well, and do not send them bread tonight. If the meek Master were anear, would He sit round a Christmas tree? or hasten to his children dear that call unto him piteously? Fathers and mothers, ere ye toll your children of Christ’s peace on earth, help feed his lambs. Thus do ye well to brighten your own Christmas hoarth. Philadelphia, Dec 21.—(A.
