Now, we don't. know exactly what fciiIes

turous period, in which the use of superia-
tiyes and such expressions as princess

E. 3. TAYLOR, 1011 Main street, is near
at band, and we will Just drop in and In
spect his handsome store while recovering
from our last exploit. Why, this is a Glove
OF !" store, and it will do the heart OF a
housewife good TO inspect it-aside, If she

pecunous, the longing after the lovely or
naments and charming household necessa-

Of a stocking would that be which was filed
with all things minus candy and "pop
crackers? thinner has these and many
other things sweet and luscious.
He has cakes and Kisses and mottoes for misses, |
And ciron and gelattne pure.
He's Toy S made Of candy, which melt very handy
BY the process which boys and girls know.
thinner is great man with the children.
He supplies the s. sotaanaufn bonurn" Of in
nocent wants that so bless the beginning OF !
life, that so happlties childhood'S days, and |
sometimes so fearfully intensities child |
hoods pains O. nights. What's The odds ? |
joys and pains are alike indispensable to US |
all. We only know pleasure by contrasting |
it with pain. And it is well to begin early. |
So let the children-the dear, innocent little |
girl and the brave and gallant boy who |
would attack a whole brigade OF candy
soldiers hwith-have their day and their |
night with candy. 1t is an indispensable
part OF their education. But thinner has |

- HAVANA CIGARS.
Mr.. OSCAR CRAM, of No. IL Governor
street, has just imported direct from Ha- |
yana large lot of choice cigars made Of
the new crop OF tobacco, which is con- |
sidered the finest raised for Years.
To lovers Of the aoeed who are c0naoiS- |
sears in smoking this will be very accepta-
BILE intelligence, for they know but too well |
how it has been next to an inpossibili,y to
obtain 3 good Havana cigar for the. past |
year or so. The crop before the last was
failure and scarcely worth manufacturing.
We have tried Mr.. Crauz's late importation,
and, though the cigars are little new as |
yet, they are of delicious favor, and we can |
with all truth recommend them as fine |
article.
