Prepare for Chlis lmas.

The best way in the world to eele- brate Christmas is to make some heart glad by the giving of a present. It need not be a great present-just something that attests the sincerity and affection of the giver. The choos- ing of the gift is perhaps the best part of the annual event, and the chances are very good that it brings to the sender as. much good as it does to tho recipient. It ties both together throughout another year. Fortunate is he who can afford to go outside of his own home on Christmas morning to find the peor, the friendless, and the unhappy. His is the best Christmas this world offers. ~
 This week should be devoted in some part at least to the selection of proper and appropriate gifts Our merchants never offered a finer lot, and their stocks will remain practically com plete throughout the present week. The thoughtful glyer will select pres ents this week, thus avoiding the wild rush of the following week. In this way more satisfaction and more trua enjoyment can be had in the great feature of the Christmas festival We carry about with Us the atmosphere of Christmas. We have time in which to contemplate it's meaning and it's benediction.
 Avoid then the hurlyburly of shop ping next week. Select this week each and every present, remembering ever that the cost of a gift is it's least i'm portant feature. Its appropriateness in the particular case is it's best qual- ity. Into the gifts purchased this week you can put the spirit of tho season, whereas 1t may be robbed and jostled out of gifts purchased next week. Be a Christmas giver, in short, as long and as early as you can.

 Now the confederate appointed for this task, has earnestly entreated many to assist him. He has told them that his- tory tells of great battles, their results of the generals who commanded, but 1t seldom tells of the private, the corporal or the sergeant in fact seldom names any one below the rank of general, and therefore, to preserve true history of the war, there should be written the ex- perience of the private soldier, or the officer below the grade of general. Per sonally, and with persistence he has begged for the experiences every old veteran has had, with photograph, with the result that some tell him of wonder full things they said and did, but they will not write of them. Some are too poor to furnish the photograph, some are too modest to put their picture in a paper. or tell about their experience,

Baseball in inc South.

The baseball war is ended, and the old league is practically left in posses sion of the southern field. The details are not yet determined, but at the meeting to be held in this city tomor- row the managers of the various teams will arrange all needful pre- liminaries.
 The adjustment of the troubles sim plifies the situation and renders it possible to have fine and fast ball in the south next season. This is what all ball patrons desire and fully ex- pect, and it is exactly what the man. iagers should secure for their own as well as for the general good.

CHARACTER OF A HAPPY LIFE.

By Sir Henry Wotton.
 How happy is he born and taught
 That serveth not anothers will; Whose armor is his honest thought,
 And simple truth his highest skill. Whose passions not his masters are;
 Whose soul is still prepared for death; Not tied unto world with care
 Of public fame or private breath. Who envies none whom chance doth raise
 Or vice; who never understood How deepest wounds are given by pralse;
 NoI rules of state. but rules or good. Who hath his life from rumors freed;
 Whose conscience in his strong retreat; Whose state can neither fiatterers teec,
 Nor ruin make oppressors great. Who God doth late and early pray
 More of His grace than gifts to lend; And entertains the harmless day | With a religious book or friend. This man is freed from servile bands
 Of hope to rise. or fear to fall; Lord of himself, though not of lands;
 And having nothing, yet hath all.
