Words are but leaves— actions are fruit, make a warm impression on the hu man heart an acceptable present, tendered in a spirit of love and kindnesi, goes far ther than any given amount of flue talk or preaching. The Orientals understand this better than we do. Instead of inter, changing rmpty, unmeaning compliments they interchange presents, and their suc cess ld creating a favorable impression in the minds of thou- friends is proportion ately great. The ouslom of presenting our friends at Christmas with seme gift or other as a mark of our esteem has prevail ed here for some time, and this year it is more extensively practised than ev r Among other articles in demand for pre sents this season are sewing machines The utilitarian spirit of the age looks to the useful as well as (he ornamental, even in our Christmas gifts,aud sewing machines are now very properly selected as presents, whore some years ago the taste < f the donor would have run. perhaps, in an en. tlrely different direction. Among the machines most in demand for this purpose are the Wheeler & Wilson. Being recog mesd now as them- plus ultra of family machines, no one thinks of buying any other one, or, if they do, they but regret It afterw rds. The machines aro all their manufacturers represent them. Easily opera'ed and quick beyond Conner,tiein doing their work, tbny aro adapted te all kinds of sewing and r, - matter bow coarse or fine the fabric, whether you want to hem, fell or gather, they are sure to give you satisfaction. Thoy are, in short, the best and most reliable machines now before tbe public, and as such, it doec not surpriso us that tbe demand for them is bo great. Messrs. Sumner & Co., No. 117 IFifth street, have the agency for tbei sale here, and any information you may desire about them they will cheerfully ac cord yon, C; Ihkap Jbwelky. —We dropped into the store of the Jewelry Manufacturers' Association on Fifth street, next door to Adams’ Express office,yesterday afternoon, and were astonished at the variety of articles displayed for sale. The room has been handsomely fitted up with seven large show cases, each attended by a young lady. They offer jewelry of every des cription except watches and gold chains embracing rings, pins, shirt studs, ladies’ I sets, sleeve buttons,lpencils, &c., and a va rlety of fancy articles, stationery packages &o. The purchaser can take his choice for ton or twenty .five cents and we are assured that some of the articles sold at the latter price are retailed in the city at $1 to 53. Thta is cerlainly the place to buy cheap holiday gifts and the new store maßt have a good run of custom for some time to come. K: .MtilNS Abbiv id— ihe remains of Sergeant Major William H.
