dies, foreign and domestic fruits and
nuts, and all such Christmas Axiugs,
amt worth having" said the nephew,
as we left the store.
"Now," said the nephew show me
some of your places where they keep
FAMILY GROCERIES.
No sooner said than done. Away we
went to the famous grocery and pro-
vision store of Il. j. Smyth, corner of
Market and Quincy street. Here We
found sugar, molAsses, teas, coffee, rice,
soap, raisins, currauts, and all the many
and manifold articles TO be found only
in first class grocery house. "Spiv.'I
said the nephew, "Ain't this the place
you told me you bought your groceries p
We honOred the youth for his memory,
and told him it was, that it was our
practice to purchase our groceries where
we knew could get sugar unsanded,
coffee unadslterated and molasses as
sweet as the lips of girl enioyiug ber
first kiss. And at Smyth's al these
things can be found and go many more
that our columns would not contain the
half should We attempt to enumerate
them.
MORE BOOTS AND SHOES.
To George B. Buchanan's famous
oCaSssSsp City Boot and Shoe House, No.
% 30 maiH street, we dragged the nephew.
tn ms Ia idUo,s "s Ssgan to tell upon him, and
ne dIu ,ioU tsM as much as at first. But
when MS eye NsSted on Buchanan's

he had been born son of St:~r;on;n
"By gosh! Thought them other YSgan Ys1a.
had gathered all the boots and shoes"
the world, but here they are again just /
as plenty and just as cheap as any OF
them. Aud just look at the people car
rying of loads Of them" We suggested
that perhaps the cheapness aud fine
qualities Of the goods was the cause of
the great demand for them.
FANCY CANDIES AND CONFECTIONERY.
At William Roth's, No. 10l Main street,
the nephew in passing had seen display
ed a splendid assortment Of fancy and
domestic candies, all done mp in fine
shape for Christmas. Look here,
Spiv, we've got to 60 back there, so that
may purchase the candy doin's for the
Youngsters at home. | notice all your
Iirst- class citizens go to Billy Roth's for
articles of that kind, and where they go
you are sure to find the best. Pm
tirst-class citizen now" In we went,
and wo were soon busy admring the
choice selected stock offered. Though
the nephew's purchases had lessened the
wad of greenbacks in his wallet, at
Roths he got enough candies for little
money to stuff all the stockings of the
little people at home.
FINE ART EMPORIUM.
As we passed along Market street the
nephew's eye was attracted by the mag
niticent display of oil paintings aud
chromos in the admirably y arranged show
window of L. L. Nicoll IL Co., nearly |
opposite the McLure House. The ste.
| REQ scopic views we found on examina- |
ton to be superb, the most elegant taste |
having besD exercised in their selection. |
The stock of artists materials on sale |
is very large and very fine, as we found !
ont while the nephew was pTying |
through the picture frame manufactory |
ATTACHED TO this establishment, where |
square and oval frames in rosewood, |

mistake when we dropped into O'Kaue
x Devine's, on Monroe street, where
was shown us some of the le,t cus'om
work ever made in this city. Fa'hIona-
bic boots for gents, of the finest ml'cria'

scarcely got inside the door, before il
went back into his pocket. He "never
saw watches like them BEFORE" was his
remark on being shown some that the
firm have for sale. "YOu don't mean TO
say they wind themselves and just keep
a goin'i Well, now, don't that beat all
They're sort of perpetual motion, and
Uncle said no man never could"
We told him TO never mind what Uncle
said, but 10 look az the beautiful jew.
elry of various kinds, the handsome
silver ware, the clocks, etc, and then TO
say where we should 90 next.
NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS.
As we had about gone the rounds the
nephew of his Uncle said he had com.
pleted his purchases nearly, but must
nave the New York story papers, the
New York dsilies, the Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati dailies, and the largest stock
Of magazines and periodicals to select
from, that he might take something to
his Uncle. We took him to c. II. Quinn.
by's News Depot, on Market street, near
Quincy, He looked at the stock of
papers, toy books, games, albums, lad les
purses and companions there displayed,
ana looked wild. "By thunder" he
CALCULATED, ~ didn't think there were
so many papers in the world" His as

assortment Quimby always keeps on
his shelves. Ayear's subs;ripii N to a

an acceptable present to a young lady.
