rs TIE DISPATCH.

I
The great Christmas anniversary is
almost here, and the busy buyers in daily.
Increasing crowds are th-oncing the streets
and stores. The weather is beautiful and
bracine, and every body seems to be in search
Of Christmas presents. Ii there lie those
who Go not get them, it will certainly not
be from lack OF their abundance or oi
low prices. But, however. should there
be some who fail to realize their anticipa-
tionS. let them lie consoled with the deci-
sion OF all debating societies-that the an
ticIpation Of pleasure affords more satisiac-
tion than its possession. This is unques-
tionahly the best that can be made Of the
situation. Let lis hope, nevertheless, that
/ few viii DC driven to this recourse.
But tie procuring OF suitable gifts is the
order OF the day; and presents win be like
iTrigatlRg streams in fields and gardens +:
they viii dihuse brightness and bloom
throughout society. The dear young peo-
pie will be ecstatic, and by q benefcent
dispeusation Of Providence the old people
live over their childhood days again through
the joys Of the little ones. This is one Of
the happiest things in all domestic life, and
makes Christmas day Invaluable 10 man
| kind.
1t would seem that orr people have
needed our ofs-rePcatod injunction 70 piv-
pare for the joyous festival, and the streets
are filed from early morn until late Of eve

handsome and homely, tie lovely and
sweet. and all who 20 to make up the
thronc Of busy buycF, We have been
with them and noted their looks Of admira-
ton, comminelcd with anxiety and solici-
tude lest there might be other things more
10 their taste than the lovely articles in
question. Then silent admonition Troba-
BIZ comes to them in the slape OF the old
maxim that "a bird In the hand is worth
two in the lush," and this, with the
thought that some lynX-cyed person Is Just
waiting 10 pounce upon il, whilst they are
in.fitutlng a comparison elsewhere, divides
