mas Present--Business and Senti.
meut Mixed.
One st. Paul young lady, whose home is
N elegant one on Summit avenue, is going
20 have good supply of periodical reading
matter during the next twelve months, dat
ing from this Christmas morning. That
she has so much of this is due to the fact
that the men who have charge of the busi-
ness departments of Aro or three leading
publications of this country pay no atten-
ticn to little matters of sentiment on the
part of a young man, but rush blindly into
all their transactions with cold, business
like look on their faces. A young man
who frequently calls on the young lady of
a Sunday evening is the more immediate
cause of the appearance of these publica-
tions Some time ago he decided to give the
young lady years subscription to Puck
and that it might have the semblance of a
Christmas present, he ordered the pub
Usher. in an elaborate note of explanation
to make out the receipt in the young lady's
name and send it 10 him, saying that it was
q Christmas present This he intended to
send the young lady this morning. He
didn't want any of the copies forwarded to
the young lady until after Christmas. A
few days later he received receipt made
out in his own name with the business like
announcement from the publishers of
Puck that duplicate had been sent to the
young lady and the first copy forwarded.
The young man cursed the businesS-lke
stupidity and decided to try the same thing
on Harpers' Magazine and Bazaar. As he
wanted the weekly himself, he availed him
self of the offer of Harper Bros. to take the
three publications at reduced rate. and
forwarded the necessary cash. giving
explicit orders that the two first
named publications be forwarded to
the Summit avenue girl, and receipt for a
wears subscription to the same made out in
her name and sent to himself. About a
week Ago he received word that the publica-
tions had been started to the young lady.
but that no receipts were given unless all
three were sent to one address. A call at
the Young lady's house about that time re-
vealed to him the fact that somebody had
the other day sent her the January number
of Harpers." The young man SwOre more
vigorously than at first, but, being per-
sistent dog. decided to try the Century.
He wrote the order and inclosed most
desperate appeal to the publisher to make
one receipt, in the young lady's name" and
send it to himself. This time he was sue
cessful, and night before last received the
receipt, made out as directed. and this
morning messenger boy will deliver it in
a cologne scented envelope to No" Sum-
nit avenue. The chances are that the
young lady will appreciate the gift, though
unless she reads this she may never know
that a we'll meaning young man at a moder-
ate salary is the voluntary contributor OF
about twenty-five dollars worth of current
literature which will be delivered TO her ad-
dress regularly during the coming year.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

with spicy pine and with cedar fine
The walls of our homes are garnished,
And tbe holly CLEANS till it almost seems
AS if it had just been vanished.
There are wreaths and stars, there are ferns
in jars.
And the5iyy twines its rambling vines
nAll over the curtains laces.
Trimmed with loving care, the tree is there;
II looks like tall green spire,
And its candles wait, in solemn state,
The touch of Promethean fire.

Though with beautiful things we wreathe H.
