THE NEW-YEAR’S BARGAIN.

“There was only one body there,—an old, old man with snow-white hair; but there was a long row of clay figures in front of him.”

THENew-Year’s Bargain.

BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ADDIE LEDYARD.

BOSTON: ROBERTS BROTHERS. 1884.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by ROBERTS BROTHERS, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.

University Press: John Wilson & Son, Cambridge.

A little golden head close to my knee,
Sweet eyes of tender, gentianella blue
Fixed upon mine, a little coaxing voice,—
Only we two.
“Tell it again!” Insatiate demand!
And like a toiling spider where I sat,
I wove and spun the many-colored webs
Of this and that.
Of Dotty Pringle sweeping out her hall;
Of Greedy Bear; of Santa Claus the good;
And how the little children met the Months
Within the wood.
“Tell it again!” and though the sand-man came,
Dropping his drowsy grains in each blue eye,
“Tell it again! oh, just once more!” was still
The sleepy cry.
My spring-time violet! early snatched away
To fairer gardens all unknown to me,—
Gardens of whose invisible, guarded gates
I have no key,—
I weave my fancies now for other ears,—
Thy sister-blossom’s, who beside me sits,
Rosy, imperative, and quick to mark
My lagging wits.
But still the stories bear thy name, are thine,
Part of the sunshine of thy brief, sweet day,
Though in her little warm and living hands
This book I lay.

CHAPTER I. THE BARGAIN WITH THE MONTHS.

CHAPTER I. THE BARGAIN WITH THE MONTHS.

IT is a cold, wintry day. The Old Year is going to die to-night. All the winds have come to his funeral, and, while waiting, are sky-larking about the country. It is a very improper thing for mourners to do. Here they are in the Black Forest, going on like a parcel of school-boys, waltzing with leaves, singing in tree-tops, whooping, whistling, making all sorts of odd noises. If the Old Year hears them, he must think he has a very queer sort of “procession.”
