nen. knowing, from youthful experience, that the,
parasitic plant is not of very common occurrence.
However, there is a perfeot forest of it in
London; and such crowds of geese that I begin
to fear you poor country eople will not have
one cf these birds left for your table. Wery now and
then, too, one comes across a fat ox in the street,
being driven into the premises of some butcher who
makes • show of killing his own meat. Everywhere,
too, we find advertisements of Christmas presents,
and Christine, requisites, and it I. curious what in-
congruous articles go under these names. If a cutler
wants to push hia business, he dubs his wares,
"Christmas cutlery," and confidently awaits a sale.
So with other matters; everybody id trying to do a sharp
trade on the streegth of the coming Christmas before
that season arrives, when busineas will be so largely
suspended for a few days. The anticipation in regard
to the approaching holiday seems, as in many other
matters, to be even greater than the reality, but there
will be enough of the latter to justify a great deal of the
preparation now being made. However, before your
readers can see my next letter, another Christmas will
be added to the past. May it be a bright and happy
seams for one and all I SPECTATOR.
