BELLAIRE.

We begin the holiday season now, and it
is great cry, especially among the young
er people, What are you going to give me
for Christmas giftln Well, whati Sure
enough, il is an important question; and
the custom, though beautiful one, has
become very much abused and entirely too
common. II we conhne ourselves TO our
real friends and give an expression OF our
kind regards, well aud good, but it is COM
mon to bid for return. This is not the
true Christian spirit. When we are shar-
ing our festal board, let us ask some who
will De unlikely TO have such treat at
home-some widow and orphans. or others
that will accept it as friendly offer and
still whom we know will not oe expected
10 return US the same. Charity should
reign supreme in cur hearts this coming
week. and may we feel at the end of the
season that we have done what we could
for the happiness of our associates; then
can we rejoice in work well done and feel
glad.
The merchants are reaping great har-
vest; their windows are places OF strong
attraction TO the buyers, and all are re-
ceiving a liberal patronage. Our citizens,
though not near as improvident and reck-
less with their money as OF yore still are
generous buyers, and many one Will be
the recipient of their bounty. In the selec-
ton OF gifts we should strive TO accord
with the taste of the party 10 receive it. In
this way we will please more by the nature
of the gift, than by It's costliness, ano vet
we must study the circumstances and needs
of our friend, so we may not give an
anomaly, that is, gift OF no good, and out
of place ia their home. Let every one be
guided by christian love- in these mat
tiers, and much good may be done by our
free benevOlence and love.
The w. r. G.. fair and festival is over,
and though they did not lose anything, but
came out ahead. still our citizens did not
show that spirit of gratitude that should
have guided them: and failed to give the
support, TO pure Charity Fair" that
it deserved. We know of some that OBJ.
iected to giving to toe w. r. c., aud pre-
vented them from receiving some dona-
tons that have friends, no doubt, will
call on these women for help before this
winter is over. 1t is over. What is done,
is done. and we hope that the ladies will
have all they need TO distribute.
The local trains were we'll crowded with
farmers bringing their wares 10 market,
Yesterday. There was a large amount OF
produce in town Saturday, and it found a
ready market. The town was full of
traders, and times were very brisk. We
expect tomorrow, also, will be busy day,
for that is the time set for the farmers TO
bring in their poultry for Christmas. The
work ers drew their money Saturday, NEST
generally, and this gives them good
chance to lay in a supply OF good things for
Christmas.
