AChriStmas Poem

Oh, how we love the Christmas time! And how we love to roam, To see what we can get that's good, To beautify our home. What can we do more worthy Than helping hand to lend' To make our home more cheerful, And not forget a friend. Now Jane we've talked this over, And I'll tell you what we'll do; We'll go to the store the people like, Iris the place first met you. Their name is known all over, And the boys in the shop agree, That of all the places in the town 'Tis the store you want to see. ngoes from South Main clear to Grand, Aud full on every floor; The prices are what we can stand, We can ask for nothing more. The clerks are always civil,
 And they wait on you with care. Their Pictures, Rockers, Lounges, Are pleasing, new and rare. So, Jane put on your bonnet, And button up your shoes; You make me tired, here waiting, While a bargain we may lose. And if we're short of money, They will give us a chance to pay, Come, hurry up my honey, won't wait another day. We wish you a merry Christmas, All who helped to make our pile; And when you come to see us, We will greet you with a smile. As sure as Mary had lamb, And two and one are three, If you want to furnish up in style, We're the fellows you want to see.

And then make up your mind that it would be good investment to become a l stockholder in the
 MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK, with branch office at Room 19, Platt's block: For the readers instruction I will give the following illustration
 All shareholders pay $1 per share in monthly dues. The borrower upon ob- talDing his loan pays an additional $1 per share on his pledged shares together with 5 3-5 per cent. interest, making 80 cents per month on each $l0O borrowed, or $1. 30 on each pledged share for the use of the loan. For example, an investing member pays 30 per month in monthly dues on five shares, or $500 in 100 months-the esti- mated time of maturity, and with the first payment or membership fee of $2 per share, he makes total payment of $500 during the St years and on the maturity of his shares they will yield him $1, ,OOO, making profit of $490 even on the long time in which the shares are estimated to mature.

composing the colony Of the Leeward
Islands. From the description which hia
Excellency gives of the intended working
of the steamer, it would appear that she
will visit the more northern islands. The
Virgin Islands, once a week. Nothing is
said of ST. Thomas, but it would seem
probable that the steamer would call there.
She is also to call at st. Martins and St.
Barts. 1t is a pity that Santa Cruz could
not also be brought in, ifnot once u week,
soy once % fortnight. IF such an arrange
ment were possible, it would accomplish
some Of the objects which were contemplate.

which may be worth mentioning. Il
is a curious fact that although steamefs
are constantly calling at West End, on
their way to the WiDdward colonies, it 10
impossible to post % letter for a WindwaFd
colony to go by one of those steamers.
We understand that the reason2 lie, THAT
Frederiksted is not a post Office on the list
OF the Postal Union. 1t may be o very
difficult matter to get q place pot on that
list, we cannot say; or there may be good
reasons in the case OF Frederiksted why it
annot or should not be done. In such
case it might DO possible to arrange with
the colonies themselves, as has been done
with the United States, and thus gain the
advantage of direct Communication with.
out using the Postal Union. Perhaps
there are not many persons incOn.
