Kind friends give attention 10 this little rhyme,
lis something OF Interest this holiday time,
For when at our names our friends we would
greet
How essential il is ~ have plenty to eat.
so lay In your turkey. your ducks and your geese
Your porksteak or beefsteak, whatever you
please.
But just before purchasing It's we'll you should
Who keeps the best dressed meats and where
you should go.
Call at w. II. Rollins and then you will see,
Dressed meats OF all kinds as fine as can be;
A beautiful porker suspended appears,
With fat foot thick just back OF his ears.
Dressed BEATS that weigh six hundred or more,
And reach from the ceiliag near down 10 the
floor.
While spareribs and cutletto and fowls piled on
high.
Arranged so to captivate the epicures eye.
Der all this confusion appears on the wall,
The holiday greeting merry Christmas" to ALL
In orr issue of last week
We did publish so to speak
The announcement of John Holden g. Brother,
That they did intend to make
A display without mistake,
OF such Christmas meats as never before
twas offered.
Now the boys knew what to do
For to carry their plans through,
For the beef you can see hanging in the shop,
lis the latest OF the times
And was bought of Jacob Grimes,
A fancier and breeder OF good stock.
There was some OF the finest pork
Ever displayed In any shop;
1t was raised by our John Collins over East
There were Ave all Just alike,
Everyone so nice and white
Weighing about $50 pounds apiece.
Among the things we noticed there,
And IL made the people stare
Was q hog which weighed 800 more or less;
Thos. Rapley raised and fed IL,
And il shows he did not starve II,
As IL ranks among the largest and the best.
Then the lamb though not the largest,
Yet We think among the latest,
BY Mckenzie out I'm Fremont II was raised;
Meats and poultry of all kinds,
Decorated, Oh! so fine,
Such labor undertaking should have praise.

The wealth OF Holland and the great
commercial prosperity Of that country
about goo years ago were built up by a
parstmonious frugality, which for & long
time marked the character of the Dutch.
This habit gave place to luxury when
wealth had been secured. The clergy
used to rebuke the growing extrava-
ganoe, and French writer tells how a
successful business man taught his fell
lows lesson;
Before retiring from business and tax
ing leave Of his friends In the city he in
vited them t. dine with him. The
guests, on arriving at his residence, were
surprised to see the extraordinary pre-
parations that lad been made for their
reception On plain oak table. covered
with blue cloth. were some wooden
plates, spoons and drinking vessels
Presently two old seamen brought In
dishes containing herrings-some fresh,
others sailed or dried.
Of these the guests were invited to
partake; but it was clear that they had
little appetite for such poor fare, and,
with considerable impotence. they
awaited the second course, which con
sisted of salt beef and gra ms This, also,
when brought: in, they aid not seem to
relish.
AT last the blue cloth was removed
and one of fine white damask substitute
ed; and the guests were agreeably sur
prised to see number Of servants, In
gorgeous hveries, enter with the third
course, which consisted of eSerything
necessary to form most sdInptuous
banquet. The master Of the house then
addressed his friends in the following
terms;
@Such. gentlemen, has been the pro
gress of our republic, We began with
short frugality, by means of which we
became wealthy; and we end With lux
ury, which win beget poverty. We
should. therefore, be satisfied with our
beef and green's, that we may not have

nrnlIant Flesh Tint.

He had conceived an idea for a great
classical picture, and he hired a stalwart
gentleman OF toll TO pose for the muscu-
lar figure required for the center Of the
picture He painted for days and days,
and he thought whenever he had his
model before him that he had never seen
such rich flesh, tints before And he
studied those flesh tints and worked tn
he had got them perfect. Then he called
his brother artists in and showed them
the picture.
"Those flesh tints don't seem quite
right, Where did you get them2n
They rich, aren't they2 But they're
from nature. They're from my model. 4"
"Well, they don't look quite natural. I"
The last touches had to be given and
the model had come to pose for the last
time. When he stripped his torso and
took his position the painter stared
aghast The brilliant flesh tints had
vanished and he was a plain, ordinary
flesh colored individual

A Famous Betrothai over Forty Years Ago.
Il wonder how many people know

suggested the queen OF England shall be-
called, when she fell IN love had to do

icanized Englishman the other morning.

cent the account of her betrothal Ii
had d. ways been expected that sho and
her cousin Albert would eventually make
q match OF it. When thav were both
about is years old he visited England,
but did not make much impression on
the newly crowned queen However,
three years later he made up his mind to
q now or never game, and with his
brother visited her at Windsor castle.
Like more humble lovers, he was placed
in a rather embarrassing predicament hy
the non-arrival of his luggage. and was
thus prevented from dining with her
majesty on his first evening os her guest
For Eve days did Victoria study him.
and then after first telling her adviser,
Lord Melbourne, what she had decided
to do, she sent for Albert, saying that she
desired 20 see him particularly. One &C
count Of the affair, certainly valuable for
its brevity, reads as follows; What the
queen told him was that she loved him
with her whole heart and that she de
sired to be his wife. She was accepted
without hesitation, as any good looking
sovereign Of 90 might have hoped to have
been, and SO they were married. n-phila-
