PREFACE.
A merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you, dear children! This little volume comes to you as a holiday gift, and in its pages we have endeavored to show you that true and lasting happiness can be found only in doing good to others. Let the lesson sink deep into your hearts. Even the least among you can do much good. Look around you. Do not wait for some great opportunity to offer, but with willing hearts and busy hands perform the most trifling acts of usefulness to others. Continue to do this throughout the year, and we will promise you that when another New Year dawns upon the earth, you will look back with rejoicing, giving thanks to your Heavenly Father that you have found that true happiness which can never be taken from you.
PLAYING SANTA CLAUS.
"Wake up, wake up, Emma!" said little Caroline Meredith, as she gently shook her sister very early one winter's morning; "I have something very pleasant to tell you."
"What is it, Carrie?" answered the sleepy little girl, as she rubbed her eyes, and tried to comply with her sister's request to "wake up."
"Do you remember what day it is, Emma? To-morrow will be Christmas; and this evening will be Christmas Eve."
"O Carrie, so it will!" exclaimed Emma, now fully awake; "and we shall hang up our stockings; and, oh, what beautiful things Santa Claus will bring us!"
"And what fine times we shall have to-morrow!" continued Caroline. "Aunt Margaret and all our cousins are coming to dine with us."
"Oh, it will be delightful!" replied Emma. "We can show them our presents, and perhaps they will bring theirs to show to us; and we shall play so happily together!"
"And, you know, I have made a needle-book to give Aunt Margaret; and you have a work-bag for her," added Caroline. "I am sure she will be pleased."
