IOILLY GOODS AND WHERE TO GET THEN.
Another Chapter In the Christmas Catalogue,
Containing Much That Should Engage
Your Attention at This Season.
Joy 90 With Tho festive day.1

joy 60 with the festive day.
Just one week from to-day viii he
Christmas morn; so it beh0oves Us to con-
time our chanting OF Christmas and Christ
uls things. Dear season OF joy to all. and
e.pccially-we were about to say to the
young; but We doubt whether that would
be true. We know that young hearts are
iuI Of life, and levity, and Joy; but we
see grandpa and grandma, their faces
baming with delight, rccollecting their
own early festivities, entering heartily into
the present, and yet adding TO this the liy-
mg Of their youth over again through their
bright cmly-headed, rosy-cheek grand
children. Can their satisfaction be eX-
eellfdy We think not. We give il up.
We don't know who enjoys Christmas
most. Two things we do know-nobody
can enjoy il more than we do, nor nobody
les, than that class OF dyspeptics to whom
We gave the prescription in our last article,
and who are at this very tize, doubtless,
itching to write a card inyeighing against
the firing Of pop-crackers and the other
usual accompanimcnts OF the festive day.
But the main point, ladies and gentle
men and dear children, is to get ready for
it, and Ices see where we shall get things
indispensable for the occasion.
