mo ell hombre; y en- todo Sc distin-
gllen especiales caracteres, y de
ellos puede sacar provecho ell his
toriador, para sus mdltiples y espe-
ciales consideraciones, va que no es
justo escribir la cronica de la vida
de la humanidad en- la epoca pre-
sente, de una manera SEGA q deScdr-
NADIA, sino examinando el funda-
mento y causas que producer de-
terminadas perturbaciones y tras-
tornos, senalando la manera de evil
tar conhictos Y buscando en- el cir
cunstanciado examen del pasado en-
seflanzas para ell porvenir.
Siguiendo, para nuestros trabajos,
ell sistema que acabamos de reco-
mendar; perteneciendo a la escuela
que tanto han ilustrado los mas re-
putados publicistas de nuestro ITEM
po, claro esta que nos veremos pre-
cisados a emitir nuestra opinion so
bre ciertos hechos y sobre ciertas
entidades juzgadas por ell BoLET1N
MERcANT1L alg,una vez, y por este
nos apresuramos q declarar que So
mos individualmente responsables,
en- absolute, de cuanto escribamos
y consignemos baJo nuestra frma
en- este peri6dico.
iQuiere decir este que estemos
separados del partido politico que
en- esta Antilla mantiene y defen-
de, con admirable tenacidad y entu-
siasmo, ell BoLEr1N? IQuiere decir,
que no aceptamos la doctrina que
han fecundado con SUI sangre nues.

esta Antilla?
No, no puede, no debe darse Sc
mejante Interpretation a nuestras
declaraciones, y solo deben leerse
en- su recto y buen sentido, es decir,
como expression del deseo que sem
timos de no enconar, en- 10 mas mi
nimo, las pasiones, los odios y los
rencores, y de trabajar para ell alb
soluto y total triunfo de los princi-
pios y doctrinas que puedan labrar
la felicidad relativa de la patria y
contribuir al progreso Intellectual,
moral y material de Puerto Rico, a
cuya fertil y hermosa Antilla he
mos arribado acariciando ilusiones
que sentiriamos yer desvanecidas y
perdidas para siempre.
Suaves en- la forma, duros y
energicos en- ell fondo, nos encon-
traran siempre nuestros enemigos,
los autonomistas, aquellos que, bajo
ell dictado de liberales, 8 de otro ca
lifcativo cualquiera, solo tiendan a
ridiculizar a la patria, a despresti-

sembrar por todas parties teorias
err6neas y absurdas y a procurar
desmoralizar al pals aniquilando y

de su prosperidad y de SUI gran

During the past few years an attempt
has been annually made to INTRODUCES
the mistletoe into private houses in New
York at Christmas, but, hitherto, with
out much success. IL has to travel too
far before reaching its destination, and
has lost all its freshness and beauty
Not that the mistletoe Is, in itself, Pc
culiarly attractive plant. Its chief
charm is that it is supposed to confer
upon young people the privilege of kiss
ing each other under il; but, as fiow-
er-dealer of great experience, socially
and from horticultural point of view,
said to the reporter who questioned him
about his trade in the mystic bough,
when young fellow plucks up cour-
age to kiss his sweetheart he don't care
for the mistletoe to be hanging over his
head; he'll do it anywhere.
The mistletoe has never been popu-
lar in New York. partly because it sell
dom arrives in good condition, but
chiefly on account of subtle danger
that turks beneath its leaves. This
peril was well Illustrated by Punch some
years ago. The caricature showed an
officer Of the guards, handsome, young,
and languid. who had thoughtlessly
strolled under q mistletoe Dough, and
found sitting there a lady of doubtful
age and angular proportions, waiting
for something. The inscription was:
ENGLAND expects every man to do his
dutyp'
The mistletoe in England is tolerably
plentiful. 1t grows, chiefly, on oaks,
and is still held in high esteem. In this
country it is scarce, and of the little
that is used in New York, nearly as
much is imported from Europe as comes
from the west -Neso York Sun.

of Christmas. Sirr'exclaimed the Bos-
ton girl, drawing herself up proudly
and fixing her quivcring glasses firmly
on her nose. ''let me never hear you

grandly out of the room, while the
young man went and laid his astonish-
ed head against the frosty windOwpane.

inexpensive ulrts.

A writer in Harper's Bazar thus
pleasantly recommend baskets as mex
pensive holiday presents. "Who can
resist a basket! Who, in the country,
can ever see the basket-maker's wagon
going by without an irresistible longing
to rifle its contents, or in the city pass
a basket-maker's den without Just stop
ping in Who ever had as many bas-
kets as they wantedP and who ever had
too manyp There are the scrap basket
and the gardening basket, and the flow
err and fruit basket, and the work basket
and knitting basket to say nothing OF
baby baskets and lirtle childrcn's dead
possessions in that way"

a Uhllds christmas rreoaution

Some little folks in Bangor, Me. who
had seen pictures of Santa Claus stand-
ing on the balcony Of his North Pole
residence, keeping q lookout with big
spyglass for good and naughty children,
had been growing somewhat anxious on
the subject ut the near approach of
Christmas, when, says the Wing, q day
or two ago a bright-eyed nudge. of 4
years, who had been gently cbided for
some fault, was observed Juggling away
to remove the screen that closed dis
used fireplace in the sitting-room. just
as she had succeeded and stepped upon
the hearth, her mother asked her what
she was doing, when she naively re-
piled: I'm going to climb up chimney
and take away Santa's spyglass. ] try
to be good, but can't all the time. and
/ don't want him spying around so.'
