STORES WORTH VISITING.

We closed our last chapter on the all
absorbing topic Of Christmas presents
without so much rs an at reroir to assure
YOU that we would come again to your as
.i,lance with more valuable suggestions
for the times. Should you have been per-
plexed with doubt and anxiety the mean
while. We beg ten thousand pardons, for
though re cannot experience it, we can
imagine the torture that the thought OF such
depTiyation must have occasioned.
Although our ways may sometimes fret you,
And on. no doubt, You think We forget you;
Yfiln the end we make amend.
and never harm foe or friend.
Our rule o. ftSfind fcafe. You know:
Which means that 10 make haste, why ono must go
slow.
Well dear reader. as we said once before,
he Joyous anniversary approaches, and it
behooyos Us all to be happy and TO make
others happy at such n period, for Christ
mas is time when the law of love and
kindness and Christian charity should take
The place Of those impulses and passions
which are less forgetful Of self. The man
in whose breast something like 4 iovial
feeling is not reused by the recurrence Of
hi. period must he a misanthrope in
deed. Charles Dickens. who must always
be regarded as the minstrel of Christmas
time. wished that the season would last
The whole year through. II was Thackeray
who thought that the genius Of Dickens
has stimulated an immense kindlincss OF
feeling at this happy time. So greatly did
the creator OF Scroogc and Tiny Tim em-
phasize the ioyeUSneSs which should gather
about the December holiday that one might
almost conclude that the man who has no
Christmas in his soul is eft for treason,
sirategems, and spoils," and the household
that iorgets Christmas is like 4 harp I'M
strung.
The Joyous festival occurs on Sunday
this year. but of course, as heretofore when
such has been the case, the holiday and
festivities will be transferred 10 Monday.
Horns, fire-crackers, and the like should be
stilled on the Sabbath, that they may not
interfere with the devotional exercises at
the churches. Let it be understood that
these expressions OF feStiyity will be per-
miited on Monday, and that that day will
be kept as the real holiday, and il is reason
able to suppose that Sunday will be as quiet
a, the most religious would desire.
Well. then, you have just three days more
wherein TO make your holiday preparation,
and as il must be well done and done
quickly. we will at once to the cOnsidera-
ton Of where TO get Christina, presents and
comforts.
