"oRANDnA.n

In her armchair grandma's sitting
BY the kitchen fire, knitting;
/ While the old clock keeps time, ticking
To the busy needles clicking.
Not breath the silence stirring,
Save the Kittens gentle purring,
Stopped the needles; grandma thinking
Thoughts the past and present linking.
In the pleasant fields she's strayiDg,
With the lads and lassies, playing;
Through the woods gay laughter sound
ing,
Then DER distant hills Tebounding;
on her young face roses flushing;
Grandma's withered cheeks are blushingr
And her eyes grow bright and glisten-
ing,
To the old, old story listening
Changed the scene now: Church bells
ringing;
!. Village choir is gayly singing;
Lovers in the old church kneeling,
Vows Of love forever sealing;
Childhood's home for aye she's leaving,
Severing ties that years were weaving;
Parents blessing tears at parting
On lifelong journey starting.
Cottage home with roses twining;
Wild birds singing; sumbeams shining;
Sweeter songs a young wife's singing,
In her heart the echo ringing
Years have passed; child-yoices chatter.
ing,
Joyous laughter-footsteps pattering;
Near the group a mothers sitting
"Why, who's pulling at my knitting?"
"Wake up, grandmap' some ones saying
Grandma wakes; finds pussy playing
With her ball, the worsted twining,
Daylight gone, the moon is shining;
Takes once more the little stocking,
counts the stitches-goes on rocking
On her face pleased smile beaming.
Can it be that she's been dreaming?

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-12-27
TUESDAY, DECEMBER q, 1895.
This paper is Democratic On principles
cnd is independent IN its vielos on a~ aocas
questions.
The Holiday Trade.

From every businessman we hear pleas
ant ccounts of the Christmas business.
Not only was the business enormous in
New York, but, what is much better, in
this city it was far above the average Of
recent years. All the novelty and dry
goods merchants on Newark avenue had
a large trade and the clothiers also did
well.
From the facts we gather that, in adj
dition to having more money to spend,
people are learning to do their spending
in their own town. It is a duty which
every n owes to Jersey City to buy
from the local businessmen everything
that can be bought from them on fair
terms. It is true there are some things
which people must seek in New York.
Even residents of Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago go to New York for some
of their purchases.
But there is a vast field in which peo-
pie can do their shopping in their own
town. and they it to themselves and
their n~elghbors to cultivate home trade.
This is a case of action and reaction.
The more business the local stores do,
the better stock they can carry and the
better prices they can give. Thus the
buying public are quickly compensated
for the patronage they give.
Above all people, owners of real es-
tate and those having business interests
in the city should encourage local trading
all they can, for in this way only can
their own possessions and business in
crease in income producing capacity.
