People in the country say that po-
tatoes are very scarce and advise every
body to lay in their winter supply as
sc on as possible, as prices are bound
to coup to the top before winter sets
in. We hardly think, though, this
will scare the people into agitating
the potato question to any very great
extent, as was done by our dealers
last fall, to their sorrow. We have
no doubt whatever but that the coun-
try is full of potatoes, as there never
was a more favorable season for rails
ing potatoes than the one just past.

We arc informed by good female
authority that the devilish sort of an
arrangement worn under the dress
and skirts for SO long a time, called a
hustle, is about to- pass out of style.
Wesre really glad to hear it for it is
a disgusting looking thing. A lady
nowadays, as cen from the rear,
displays some sort off double back
action arrangement fastened around
the waist, which, when she walks,
hobs up and then hobs down, flies
from side to side, kicks up behind,
and dances around generally like a
cork in the water, which, of course,
is very graceful because ats all the

A Mistake.

The country people make q great
mistake in saving up butter, eggs.
&C., until within few days of
Christmas in the expectation Of get
ting big prices. During the past few
days the market has been glutted,
and prices have consequently fallen.
Three or four weeks ago butter and
eggs were scarce, and commanded
much better prices than they do
now when everybody who has them
to sell is crowding on the market.

CHRIS TMAS.

Another year has rolled around,
and again we are on the eve of Christ
mas. There are many cheering
signs of its nearness, and despite the
growis and threats of the politicians
the people are in mood to enjoy it.
For week past the streets have been
looking more brilliant and attrac-
tive, the shop windows have put
forth their allurements, and ingenu.
ity and enterprise have been busy
preparing for the time of giving and
receiving tokens of affection, and for
the exchange of kindly feeling. III
ever there was time when we need
ed the genial influences of holiday
time it is now. Altogether, we
have had SO much of struggling with
adverse times, of anxious thought
on private and public account, that
relaxation and indulgence In the
joys and pleasures of Christmastide
will be unusually welcome. There
is no reason why we should not each,
to the extent of his means, prepare
for their full enjoyment. We feel
sure that we shall come through our
political complications in safety.
There can be no serious trouble when
the people are in no temper for it land
now they are determined on avoid
ing anything that shall disturb the
prospect for peace and the chance Of
winning their way back to prosperi-
ty. We may surely remit for time
our solicitude and all thought of
trouble and prepare to enjoy the holt
day season.
1t isa time to cultivate the better
feelings; to develop the social and
genial aspect of our nature; to re-
fresh ourselves ior the trials of an
other year. It's amusements should
be simple and wholesome, and taken
with Zest. Its duties to the
poor and suffering are sacred,
and afford an inspiration of their
their own. Let us look forward with
cheerfulness and hope, and enter in
to the pleasures and duties of the
holiday season with a determination
to make the most of them, feeling an
assurance that nothing contributes
more to the real purposes of life thar
its periods Of rest and enjoyment.
