Christmas draws near once more, and with tho
return of this happy season Of tho year 4 host of
pleasant memories arise Of friends to be remem-
berod, young and old, and tho question presents
itself, What shall buy, aad whereof What will be
most suitable and give the greatest satisfaction?
The increasing cu1turo among all classes Of
the community is causing choice books to bo re-
garded with great favor as presents On holiday,
birthday, and doven wedding occasions, and are

can only single out articles hero and there as
specimens OF its newest attractions.
Perhaps the most appropriate work to speak
OF first will be
