TErs. MD YOUR COUSINS. AND YOUR
AI:sTs NOTES FOR FESTIVE SHOPPERS.
."Kuow all men by these presents" that
Christmas is close at hand. These presents,
these Christmas everybody is
looking for thrm, and II there be those who
do not get them II will certainly not be
from want Of their abundance or low prices.
Drt. however, should there be some who
fall 10 realize their apticipa,ions, let them
hr consoicd with the decision OF all de-
hitting socictics-that anticipation OF plea
sure afford, more satisfaction than its pos
gcssion. This is unqucstiGnably the best
that can hc made OF the satisfaction Let
uy hope, nevertheless, that few will be
driven 10 this recourse.
But presents will be like irrigating
streams in the fields and gardens; they will
dItfusc brightDcs; and bloom throughout
society. The dear young people will be
ccstatic, and hy n beneficent dispensation
OF Providence Sac did people live over their
chdhcod's days through the gay and ics-
five little ones. This is one of the happiest
things in all domestic life, and makes
Christmas day Invaluable to mankind.
1t twould seem that our people have heed
ed our ort.vepcated Injunction 10 prepare
for the joyous festival, and the streets are
filled from early morn till late Of evenings
With the old ard young, lively and sedate
handsome aud homely, lovely and "sweet,"
and all who go TO make up the throng OF
busv BUYERS. We have been with them,
and uo,cd their looks OF admiration COM
mingled with anxiety and solicitude, lest
there might be other things more TO their
taste than the lovely article in question.
Then silcat admonition probably comes
to them in shape of the old maxim that "a
bird in The hand is worth two in the BUSH"
and this, with the thought that some lynx
eyed person is just waiting to pounce upon
il while they are insltuting comparison
elsewhere, divides the minds Of the busy
present nt-Seekors between perpexites and
pIrasurablc excitement. Stimulated, there
fore, by spirit OF philanthropy, we once
more bciake ourselves to the pleasant task
Of pointing ont to whom you may go and
purchase holiday "SanS pcur ct sans re-
pr0cLc.'
