Suitable Presents,

Nothing more pleasing in the form
of q holiday present can be offered
than some article of utility whose
constant use may continually keep
the donor in mind. In searching for
such an offering, we can conceive oil
nothing more appropriate than the
many articles displayed by Meacham
& Co., in their large wsrerooms on
Columbia street. He has easy chairs
the bare sight OF which make one feel
as if a foretaste of paradise might be
experienced in their luxurious depths
center-tables that would adorn the
palace of a fairy queen; sideboards
that suggest pleasant companionship
and hospitable cheer, and countless
other articles that are sure to enlist
the warm heart of women and the
good judgment of men.
1t is fortunate that he has made .
reduction in the prices of his stock At
time when it may be made tho means
of Frightening the chains OF friendship,
or tying the magic knot in the silken
cords OF love. for it is only necessary
for this fact to be known to secure
many of these objects of beauty and
O Joy forever" for those who have not
got over the longing implanted amid
the memories of childhood for some
testimonial of affection ON Christmas
morn.
