2 " THE HOLIDAY SEASON. —— - “CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS PR NTS-WHAT TO GET AND WHERE TO GET IT. If **it is more blessed to give than to receive,” then ¢ in what Dentitudes of enjoyment must fathers and mothers and generons eustomers be in the Holiday time, in the opinion of the % Mitle folks. They fully appreciate the pleasure of receiving « Christmas toys aud are in no ways envious of those who in making them bappy, bave doubly blessed themselves, according to the above quoted proverb. 1t is well that the custom of giving tokens of love and good fecliug at this anniversary time does pot confine iteelf to the children, but that provision must e mudo for all ages and classes by the dealers who would make a specialty of Holiday Goods. To be sure the custom of uui- wersal presentation leads to some queer conclusions. Thus, we yesterday overbeard one gamin, when ssked what De got last Christmas, say that his littlo sister gave him the whooping- wough, while in an up-town car, we sat beside @ richly dressed ‘woman who told her next neighbor upen the other side that she was golng o got a bill of divorce as & Christmas surprise to her Busband. But these were not of the mass who Jove their kind- #od, and read the paper, study the Holiday advertiscments and religlously bang up‘s long stocking on the bed-post or the door- &uob on Christmns eve. For euch, we bave a word to say be- tow as o where 1o go for their yearly tribute to Santa Cla and social good feeling . BOOKS, &C.
