"a Merry Christmas. "

Before another issue of our paper, the greetings
and good wishes of merry Christmas; will have
been made, and we must therefore take this our
last opportunity to wish our readers one and
ALL old and young, "A merry Christmas" How
many pleasing associations cluster around the
simple salutation. The days of long ago come
back again, and with them, all the generous
sreaks we have known of that ubiquitous per-
sonage Santa Claus. But we need not go back
TO the days of lang syne. There is the same
great expectations now, the same looking for of
GOOD things to come, when the car of st. Nicho-
las makes its annual rounds throughout youth
dom, as in the days when we were young. The
stockings will be hung up, and unless fathers,
mothers and friends, have become more careless
or less happy, than they used to be, there will
be Just such sparkling eyes and bounding hearts,
to greet the glorious morn, now, asthen.
This Santa Claus, is one of The good old insti-
tutions that ought not to be abandoned. 1t brings
SO much innocent joyousness and fosters much
kindness and generosity offeeling in the hearts
both of the giver and receiver, that the world
can't well afford to do without it. And by the
way where will old Santa Claus find the pre-
cous freight for the expectant stockings in Keno
shai We see that our friend Simeon King has
almost every pretty thing in the line of books
Gifts for the young and gifts for the old-books
in which many strange story is told-picture
books, story books, toy books, and all for which
Santa Claus in his mission may call. We pre-
sumo there are plenty of places where he my make
out his annual assortment, but really we don't
know whore they are.
