CHRISTMAS SONG. 
"\Vnvx winter rules over the land 
With stern and uopitjirg sway. 
And phantoms, on every hand. 
Of beauty make dreary array; 
Then come troops of angels to cheer, 
From the realms of the mystical past— 
Remembrances bright of tiie dear 
Old Home and it* Christmas repast. 
Then youth people I all the unknown 
And shadowy future with form* 
Of heavenly mould, aud the tone 
Of cherubim voices, the storms 
That wisdom had told us would rise, 
O’ersouuded in glorious peal: 
O, earth tin'll seemed nearer the skies 
At home with our holiday zeal. 
Those days are the embers that glow 
The brightest in memory'« urn, 
And seed we tins CtirUtnuw would sow 
To bloom to fond mem ries in turu. 
Then merrily sing we our song 
Of welcome unto the glad day 
That brings there fair visions along 
From Homo to drive sadness away.

A RIDDLE. 
It was in Paradise I first did reside, 
Yet with Adam and Eve I ne'er could abide. 
I'm not in Heaven or earth to he found, 
But with glorified saints I always am crowned. 
I'm not with monarch*, the lords nor the queen. 
But with kings and princes I always am seen; 
I’m not seen hy day hut always in night, 
I’m never in darkness but always in light. 
I am not with man nor the beasts to he found, 
Yet with me the thief and the lion abound; 
Content I know not, no pleasure I see, 
In happiness! 1 merriment I always can be. 
From the good and the bad I am turned away, 
With the saint and the sinner 1 always do stay; 
I am with the giddy in fro ies and mirth, 
Yet I never have been in heaven or earth.
