Christmas §
Charles Dkkens
“W HAVE been looking on thia even
| lug at • uierry company of chil-
ly (Iren assembled around that pret-
ty German toy. a Christmas tree.
Being now at home again and alone,
the only person In the boose awake,
my thoughts are drawn back by a fas-
cination which I do not care to resist
to my own childhood. Straight In the
middle of the room, cramped In the
freedom of lte growth by no'encircling
walls or soon reached celling, a shad-
owy tree arises, and, looking up Into
the dreamy brightness of lta top, for
I observe in this tree the singular prop-
erty that It appears to grow down-
ward toward the earth, I look Into my
youngest Christmas recollections.
All toys at first I find. Bat upon the
branches of the tree, lower down, how
thick the books begin to bang—thin
books. In themselves at first bat many
of them, with deliciously smooth covers
of bright red and greenl
“A was an archer and shot at a frog."
Of course he was! lie was an apple
pie alaiy and there he Is! lie was a
good many things In his time, was A,
and bo were most of his friends, except
X, who had so little versatility that I
never knew him to get beyond Xerxes
or Xantlppe.
But now the very tree Itself changes
and becomes a beanstalk, tbe marvel-
ous beanstalk by which Jack climbed
up to the giant’s house.
Good for Christmas time Is the rud-
dy color of the cloak In which, the tree
making a forest of Itself for her to
trip through with her basket. Little Bed
Riding Hood comes to me one Christ-
mas eve to give me Information of the
cruelty and treachery of that dissem-
bling wolf who ato her grandmother
without making any Impression ou his
appetite and then ate her after mak-
ing that ferocious Joke about his teeth.
She was my first love. I felt thnt if
I could hove married Little Bed Rid-
ing Hood I should have known perfect
bliss. But It was not to be, and there
was nothing for it but to look for the
wolf in the Noah Vs ark there and put
him last In the procession on the table
as a monster who was to be degraded.
Oh, the wonderful Noah’s ark! It
was not found seaworthy when put in
a washing tub. and tbe animals were
crammed In at the roof and needed to
have their legs well shaken down be-
fore they could be got In even there,
and then ten to one they began to tum-
ble out at the door, which was but Im-
perfectly fastened with a wire latch
But what was that against It?
Again a forest and somebody up In
a tree—not Robin Hood, not Valentine,
not the Yellow Ifwarf; 1 have passed
these, and all Mother Bunch's wonders
without mention—but an eastern king
with the glittering scimitar and tur
ban. It la the setting In of the bright
Arabian Nights.
Oh. now all common things become
uncommon and quite enchanted to me!
All lumps ure most wonderful. All
rings are tnlismans. Common flower
pots are full of treasure, with a little
earth scattered on the top: trees ure for
All Baba to hide In; beefsteaks are to
throw down Into the Valley of Dla
monels, that tbe precious stones may
stick to them and be carried by tbe
eagles to their nests, whence the trad-
ers, with loud cries, will scare them.
All the dates Imported come from the
same tree us tb unlucky one with
whose shell the a., reliant knocked out
the eye of the genie’s Invisible son.
But, hark! The waits are playing,
and they break my childish sleep.
What Images do I associate with the
Christmas music as 1 see them set
forth on the ChrlstmaB treel Known
before all the otbera, keeping fnr apart
from all the others, they gather round
my little bed—an angel, speaking to
a group of shepherds in a field; some
travelers, with eyes uplifted, following
a star; a baby in a manger; a child In
a spacious temple, talklug with great
men; a solemn figure, with a mild and
beantlful face, raising a dead girl by
the hand; ognln, near a city gate call-
ing back the aon of a widow on his
bier to life; a crowd of people looking
through the open roof of a chamber
where be sits and lettlug down a sick
pei'son on a bed with ropes; the same.

in a ship again, ou u seashore, teach-
ing a great multitude; again, with a
child upon his knee and other children
around; aguln. restoring sight to the

armed soldiers, a darkness coming on.

one voice heard, “Forgive them, for
they know not what they do!”
Encircled by the social thoughts of
Christmas time, still let the benignant
figure of my childhood stand unchang-
ed! In every cheerful image and sug-
gestion that the seasou brings may
the bright star that rested above the
poor roof be tbe star of all the Chris-
tian world!
A moment's pause. O vanishing tree,
of which the lower boughs are dark to
me yet', and let me look once more. 1
know there are blank spaces1 on thy
branches, where eyes that I have loved
bnve shone and smiled, from which
they are departed. But far above I
see the raiser of the dead girl and the
widow’s son—and God Is good!
