AnVKNTl'BKS OF A IIUNTSB iFTIB CnRISrMAS FaKSKNas. Christmas will be here la a iew days, eald my wife to me. early one morning; where is my money for presents, and what do you Intend to buy? This Inquiry rather startled me, as I bad hardly given the subject a thought as yet; so jumping up, and scratching a bole In the lrost work on the wlndjw Rod taking a view at the vast expanse of snow spread out before me, I made tip my mind that I would have a good lively slelgh-rlde to town, and buy my Carlst das presents to the tune ol the Merry Bells: so telling Kate my intentions. orders were given to bitch np our pair of spanking greys, and in a few minutei we were o ff at a tearing pace to town: leaving our team at the ttabl", we started out shopping, downlElguth and up Cbesnut, buying a present for one at this store and gilts for others at another; but the most amusing place we visaed was a Book and Picture fctore on Cbesnut street, crowded to suffo cation with men. women, and children, surging and pushing, with questions innumerable, title men and salesladies apparently nearly detracted answering questions, tying op books and selling pictures, messengers with parks on their backs Ilka camels, trying to edge their way through the throng, wejudge to deliver goods already bought. Old lady, who had been told a dozen limes she cnuld And Mother Uoose further back, plants herself like a hitching post, expecting Mother Uoose to come to her. young man that wants a stereoscope for Ara bella, finds himself wedged in between a bevy of lovely damsels alter prayer-bok.

During this time I managed to hold on to Kale, who bad been enjoying the scene of excitement as much as myseli; out as time whs precious, and she had got me Into tne store, J told her to make her purchases, so that we could get oat aud vitdt other stores, so she sung out one word, Lucille, and a yonng lady stood beiore us, witb six or seven baudsome books, bald I, Kate, you are pretty well acquainted, to speak to the lady so famlllnrly. Oh no, she said, it's the name of the book I want. And sure enough this heap of books was merely the different editions of oneboik you conld buy. A little light now enteral my mind "it's the assortment that draws the crowd, then." Kate now asked the price. The answer carae clear aa1 ring ing "Fnbllsbed at 4K; we sell at 14-60. " A little more light on the subject, thought I ''big assortment and low prices; no wonder they are jammed. I'll have a iNwof those bargalnsmyself," andl started in.

Thk popularity of the Gbovkh 4 Baker Bewlng Machine is a natural result of Its manliest advantages over other Instruments. No machine before the pub. lie has such solid claims on popular favor and. farther, cone Is so absolutely recognized by official bodies, as proved by Ihe award of the very highest prize, the IUPKBIAI. OBAND C'BOSS OF TUE LEUION OF HONOB, to the representative of the Urovkb A Bakeb B. M Company, at the Kxposltlon TJnlverselle at Paris. Such a triumphant endorsement has been seldom re ceived by any branch of American manufactures. A recent peculiar recommendation of the Grove A Baker machine deserves a word of comment. The pub lic Is well aware that the one bright particular advan tage of this instrument ii Its unrivalled elastic stitch. Its simplicity, strength, cheapness, and noiseless ac tion are other strong points in its lavor, but the elasticity ot the Grover & Baker stitch, famous all over the world, is the first and most distinctive of its Merits. It now appears that a competitor in the Bewlng Machine Interest has Invented an attachment to imitate as nearly as possible the Grover Baker Blitcb. That the work done by it Is very indifferent, and but a poor Bubs itute for the original, readers need scarcely be told, but It shows the set of the popular fiinir verv anrelv. when other makers are forced to copy tue elastic Btl'ch, to command any sale what ever for their machines. There may not be as much glory in this Indorsement as in the one Just obtained at the handa of royalty in Paris, but It goes home, and In a way that everybody can understand. Mr. Kddy, the representative of this company iu Philadelphia, will give every Information to parlies desiring to pur chase macblues, and all such are requested to call at bis establishment, as well as others who are not buying, but are curious to learn the workings of the wonderful little instrument which has so completely revolutionized a great field of labor.
