The toys for The current season are
diversified in kind and varied in price.
Many of the most expensive piaythlngS
are imported, but the domestic goods
are equally as good in most cases and
somewhat cheaper For the diversion
OF the infautine mind there are the
usual assortment of swings, drums,
Sleds, dolls and parlor games. and there
are but few innovations. An amusing
little bit of mechanism called peripa-
tetic doll is, however, decided novelty.
and well calculated TO amuse the chill
dren. When wound up the figures,
which are in the form of miniature men,
women, children, animals or grotesque
figures, step forward with grace which
il would be hard to equal, and describe
n circle with mathematical regularity.
Talking, CRYING and laughing dolls are
also found in the toy stores, while lilli-
putian society bellies in wax ply their
fans and roll their eyes with
REALISM WHICH Is SURPRISING.
The photographic doll is the latest
metropolitan novelty. In New York
there is doll factory which employs
girls for the purpose of talking into pho
nographs. Nursery rhymes. quotations,
songs and small talk are repeated into
their ready transmitterS. The cylinders
of the instruments are afterwards put
inside of dolls. BY means of clOck-work
these figures are then made to repeat
the pretty little nothings which pretty
lips whispered into the always open
ears of the photograph.
AS an invention to teach the practice
OF strict economy. Tammany Banks and
gymnasts have been placed upon the
market this season to guard the treas
ures intrusted to their keeping. The
money is placed in the hand of rapa-
cious individual. in the first instance,
and with a quiet motion he losses
his head in acknowledgment,
at the same time that the coin is placed
in his coat pocket, and slipped into the
strong box upon which he sits. The
gymnast is delicateiy poised upon a
turning pole. and when the money Is
slipped Into slot in the head the eQui-
libriGm is destroyed, and, aided by a
weight in the feet, the figure turns upon
the bar with SwiftnesS which no aero
bat could equal. Trains of cars. which
vary in length from the overland ex-
press TO the local accommodation. are
also popular ana instructive toys to
purchase. and run by steam on track,
or are drawn by cord. Miniature

shelves are stocked with staples appro-

| of the SUNDAY GLOBE.
Books are, and will always remain, a
substantial token of love and esteem on
Christmas day. and this year Outrivals
all predecessors in the number and
grade of books which are placed upon
the market. The book stores have been
crowded during the past week. and
young and old, rich and poor, will be
remembered in a manner which will
serve the double purpose of amusing
and inStructing. The works of stand
ard authors. in sets and in single vol
umes, have been designed expressly for
the holiday trade; and in excellence OF
workmanship. beauty of design and
quality of material they have never been
eQualed.
For persons Of means who are desir-
Gus of increasing their libraries, or for
purchasers in the middle walks of life
who intend to devote portion OF their
earnings to culture and refinement, the
book stores offer especial advantages.
Thirty volumes of Dickens, prOfuSely
illustrated, with gilt top, uncut edges
and bound in
THREE-QUARTERS CRUSHED LEVANT,
are quoted at S125. A complete set of
twenty-four volumes of Thackeray, of
similar style, sells for S93. Carlyle and
Scott are sold for ST and SS1 respect
lively. George Eliot and Bulwer are
valued at $50. Longfeilow's complete
works of poetry and prose. and Ralph
Waldo Emerson each realize S44; while
Motley's and Bancroft's histories,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edgar Alien
Poe and Charles Lamb range in price
from $40 to $50.
In single volumes, copy of Faust, IL
Illustrated with ten aquarelles, is de-
cded novelty. "Henry w." and LAS
You Like 1t % are also profusely Illus
trated, while a portfolio of Rembrandt
etchings, containing fifty of the master
pieces of the artist, together with a
biographical sketch and descriptive
notes, and valued at S25, is present
worth viewing.
There is also demand for certain
line of books which would not be re-
ceived as works of instruction III the
young ladies' seminaries. Payne's lit
eral translation of the arabian
Nights" known to the Initiated as The
Thousand and One Nights" is not only
a rival of the "Decameron," but is as
well a work of art which is profusely
illustrated in four volumes. UneXpur-
gated editions of lola are also surrep-
tiiiously sought after; but even Mad
emoiSelle de Maupin is sold on the
counters; and even the gentler sex, who
have heard of its fair fame, come boldly
in and

The standard works OF prose, poetry
and history are published in cheap edl-
tons, which lie within the means of all.
The print aud paper are admirable in
these editions. and the binding alone
distinguishes them from their more pa
trician brethren. Current literature of
the day is also sold at popula prices.

gard, Conway and Stevenson are sold
either singly or in sets.

Such standard games as Parchesi and

What love bear thee, it would be with snch
sweet note
As flows like liquid silver from the bulbnrs

When to Nights dusky ear his JOY he doth
impart.
II could clasp thee, blossom Of my soul.
I'd rain my passionate kisses on thy hands
and head,
Till thou in truce should offer me thy lips
instead
Naught should'st thou know foreyermore of
care or dole.
Could possess thee, glory Of my life.
I'd pull down clouds wherson II rest thou

And angels songs should charm away al
