Chrirtmas Presents.

The period has once more arrived when
the circles Of friendship and OF the house,
ho'd are lit up with scenes of the most
lively satisfaction, as unknown packages
are made to develop their contents amid
the sparkling eyes and excessive delight
OF the children and young people who
are the happy recipients of favors at this
season; and even older people are no, i'm
Ipervious to these same sensations, and for
a while at least our poor natures seem to
live in higher sphere of existence than
the more common one of each for himself
and chatting his neighbor. These happy
seasons cannot fail to have their influence
upon after years, nor is it among the least
Of the pleasures Of this life to look back
in sweet remembrance to the time when
tokens OF esteem and affection were be-
slowed; when impressions were thus
stamped in the chambers of the heart
where they never can be effaced.
But it is not our intention to write
sermon, or moralize over theory, but to
"swing round the CIRCLE" among some of
our patrons, who have appropriate objects
for the holidays. And frs, we will name
our neighbor
AMADoN,
who has full assortment Of fancy goods
and the solid metals of gold and silver in
all styles suitable for sentimental youth or
otherwise.
DIR. o. F. WOODS
has this week filled his store to overflow
ing, with an unrivalled assortment of toys
and fancy goods, among which are some
of the most beautiful handkerchief boxes
we have ever seen. Just take a look at
his many fine things before Santa Claus
gets the start of you. The little railroad
establishments, microscopes, &C., will
make the little ones bound with Joy as
they pull them out of their stockings. But
if you would have some of the best peri.
odical literature Of the country give him
your order and have holiday present for
your friend the entire year. The Dr. has
a greater assortment and variety than
ever before, and makes his announcement
in another place.
JOHNSON & BABBITT,
too, have much greater variety and as.
sortment than on any previous occasion
In fact they have fairly turned their store
into museum of toys and fancy things
Books in great number, and pictures o.
rare beauty. In confectionery they have
the most beautiful and extensivesshow evel

, and we would refer our readers TO thei
announcement which occupies Who'll
