tlons At The Boston.

The weIl-known west window OF Tho
Boston One-Prics Clothing House, oppo-
site the post-ofiice, has heretofore been
noted for it's entirely original, never imifa-
tive. and dazzling displays. But at the ap..
proach Of the hallowed Christmas festival
our eyes and thoughts naturally revert TO
the Fast.
This il no doubt why Messrs. Scbwarzs-
child & Co. have arrayed the east window
in fields OF living green and garlaadcd 10
with lovely holly 80 typical of tho season
of peace on earth and good will TO men.
Here will be seen not the cottage by tho
sea or the little log-cabin in the lane. but
little home, such a. are so numerously
scattered about in this happy land Of ours.
Out OF the open door little lad IS peeping.
He has been pariaking OF Christmas cheer
indoors and IS now too full for utterance, 80
he is keeping quiet. In the yard chickens.
goats and other domestic animals have en-
tered into the spirit Of the happy occasion.
All seem 60 have Christmas in their bones.
But il - in the field apart from the cottage
that the real Christmas Is seen. Here IL
the old man who was himself onro boy
