Sidewalk Letter.
On THE SIDEWALK, I
Tao II 1873


Dec. II, 1878.
On the sidewalk has been anything
but pleasant during the past week. A
freeze and then a thaw has caused the
mud to spew up between the flag-stones
and brick, making locomotion as I'M
graceful as it is unpleasant; and about
the only thing of interest to be picked
up is oneself, when a mistep is taken, or
your attention is attracted by some pass
ing object, which causes you to forget to
see that your foot is safely bestowed in a
secure position on terra firma.
My friend c., who is quite a lady's
man, cut ridiculous figure last Sunday
evening in trying to descend a narrow
plank walk at an angle of 80 degrees, all
unconscious at the time that couple of
rougish girls were taking observations
from a window close by. Not until he
had picked himself up, and was endeav-
oring to make safe descent by holding
on to the palings, did he discover that
he was the observed of all observers, :"
-"Sich is life.''
Just as / said last week, the Mite So
ciety made a success of their SUPPER
They cleared about 1925. A band OF
faithful, noble workers. They have
paid, by their own efforts, over 81 400 to-
ward the building of their new church.
The holidays will soon be here, when
Christmas Trees, Suppers, &C., will be
the order of the day.. The Sunday
School at the lst Presbyterian Church
will have Christmas tree on the after
noon of Christmas day. The Mission
School at the West End will unite with
them. The Baptist S. S., will have a
supper on Christmas night. The S. S.
at the NJ. E. Church will entertain their
scholars with an indoor picnic on
Christmas Eve. l have not learned
whether the other schools will have en-
tertainments or not. Mr.. J. r. Ander-
son will have his Band of Hope exerci-
ses at 10 o'clock on Christmas morning.
l have thought it very good plan to
tell your readers where they can buy
their Christmas goods. For candies,
sweetmeets, toys, &c, Kuhnert is be-
hind no establishment in the Cities
King & Hill have small assortment of
toys and a large and beautiful lot of 9TH
er goods, such as Gift Books, Albums,
&c. If you want really handsome
present call on Picken or Doriot, and
buy something useful as well as orna-
mental. These are the leading places
for Christmas goods, and it Will be worth
while to call on them before making
purchases.
Just now money seems to be the arti-
Gle most difficult to obtain. | see num-
bers of turkeys and like good things to
eat, and the knOtty problem of where
and how to get the DeedftIl cash to buy
with is being manfully wrestled with by
many poor fellow. l '.ope the needs
of all will be supplied, and that ''Mer-
ry Christmas" may he followed by the
dawn of a bright and "Iappy New
Year." for all. 1919.
