This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Christmas and Other Kentucky Tales in Verse The following poems are the fruit of a visit made some four years ago to the Kentucky Cumberlands and other parts of the Southern Appalachian system. I had planned to spend a summer month or two in that remote region, which I had always wished to explore, and which had recently been rendered doubly attractive by reports of numbers of old English and Scottish ballads surviving there by oral tradition; but, having contracted "mountain fever," in the-course of my travels on foot and on horseback, I remained nearly six months, or from about the first of June till before Christmas. How much further I should have prolonged what had already become largely a "technical" convalescence, I cannot say, if the rough little county seat, where I was then living, had not burned. Losing practically everything I had in the fire, I was forced to beat a retreat. The length and the conditions of my stay in the hill country gave me an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with the life and character of the mountain people, about whom, perhaps, more has been written, and less actually known, than about any other on the continent. It used to be the theory of historians like John Fiske, that they are the descendants of Scotch-Irish settlers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Stories and Poems: For the Little Ones For just such a baby as this of ours, With eyes of violet and hair of gold, Was born in a stable one winter's night, In the wonderful days of old. Oh, listen! That dear little blue-eyed thing, Of lords was the Lord, and of kings the King. Mother says that a bright star, far from the East, Guided three men who were wise and true, And she says they knelt on the stable floor, And looked deep down in the eyes of blue, That they smiled and prayed, while the tears fell slow, For He was their Lord and their King, you know. And the shepherds, guarding their flocks on the hill, Saw the wings of angels glancing bright, And they fell on their faces, while hymns of peace Rang out through the Christmas night.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Stories; Ballads and Other Poems; Tales WE have referred more than once in these notes to the relation subsisting between Thackeray and Dickens. To the superficial eye, the two figures always seem contrasted they were of the same generation, of the same race, of the same city; they both wrote fiction, and yet appeared to be at Opposite poles. If one brought out a serial novel in green covers, the other followed with one in yellow covers; if one set the fashion of Christmas books, the other was prompt to trim his sails to the same breeze. On the other hand, the admirer of Thackeray is apt to resent any sugges tion that his hero was in any way indebted to Dickens, and to be impatient of the kind of comparison which bids two authors stand back to back that critical friends may see which is the taller.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Baby's Things: A Story in Verse for Christmas Eve The work of the day had been laid aside, And now, in the edge of the eventide, She lingered awhile in her favorite seat By a window that overlooked the street, Silent and thoughtful, dreamy and sad; Strangely so for a time so glad. But the somber hue of the dress she wore, And the look of sorrow her features bore, Showed that it had been hers to know The weight of a Father's chastening blow. There she sat leaning and looking away Over the snow that covered the ground, Over the buildings that clustered round, Over the hills that rose beyond, At the lingering sunset's rich display.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strangers at the Door: A Christmas Story But, despite it all, in the eyes of these two peasants who moved ever southward, there shone a light which no darkness could quench. Singularly calm and confident were they. Simple as were their garments, hardened by toil as were their hands, and bronzed as were their faces, still there was about them such a fineness of manner, gentleness of spirit, and nobility of soul, as to make all who knew them show them marked deference. They commanded re spect without seeking it. In their veins flowed the blood of a long line of Hebrew kings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Book of Christmas Now in the days of Herod, King of Judea, the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city in Galilee named Nazareth, unto a virgin whose name was Mary, to whom he said: Hail, thou that art highly favored! The Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou among women! But she was greatly troubled by his greeting and wondered what such words could mean. Fear not, Mary! For thou hast found favor with God, he said, and went on to tell her of the Son who should be hers, and whom she was to call Jesus. He Shall be great, she was told, and Shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Now it came to pass there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house of the family of David; to enroll himself with Mary. And it came to pass, while they were there she brought forth her firstborn son; and She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
