Carri NviTos A On.—A young lawyer
friend of our#—weeding in l!ii» cUy—
ordered through this purchasing agency
a lihrarv, which, lie inlorms ns. was
deliver,s’ to him tree ot' .charge, far
t„llv ,me hundred end fifty dollars irsa
than the regular look dealers _ prices
which he would have had to pay had he
ordered from them. — hxcha wye.
It is a trite, hut true, saying. that
“ people will Hale where they can hay j
on the host terms.’" As an abstract
principle, perhaps, H>* practice may r
Unobjectionable; but there an-circum
stances surrounding it which are wort. IV
of serious cotisidcretion. In the Itrst
place, our people should ask themselves
if they arc realty henefitting themselves
in sending abroad for everything they
require? Are they not rather, by in
juring the community »> which they
live, injuring themselves? but how,
some will ask, are we injuring the com
munity by purchasing our supplies
abroad ? The question is a simple one,
and easily answered.
A great proportion ot the community
consists of merchants, mechanics, atul
laboring men. Suppose, then, that you
want to purchase a supply of groceries,
or dry goods, or a library of books, and
send to the North for them, instead of
purchasing them here, you take that
much patronage away from your own
home merchant. l»ut yours will not'be
an isolated instance. If it was, the sub
ject would not be worth noticing, because
the amount involved, however large it
might be, would be comparatively insig
nificant. But others will follow your
example. They will say, why, such a
one got his or her goods through Some
body or other’s Purchasing Agency at
the North, at a few dollars' less cost
than the same articles can be purchased
here. The consequence will be that our
merchants will lose custom ; they will
no longer be enabled to keep good stocks
of goods; and, eventually, they will he
compelled to close their stores, and goto
other and more liberal communities.
The same may be said of the me
chanic and the artisan. You will send
to the North, or to the East, or to the
West, for your machinery and imple
ments, while the former will be without
employment—driven to other communi
ties, or left upon this one, with families
to provide for, and without the means to
support them.
And so with the laboring man.
Send North and get your laborers too.
Bring them out, and refuse to employ
your own people. Starve them out, to
save a few dollars.
This will be the legitimate result o
this policy of purchasing abroad. It
will drive away business, trade, and
population from your community. It j
will impoverish your citizens. And it
will retard the growth, :f it does not fully
effect the ruin, of your city.
On the other hand, let us see what a
wise ami liberal policy of home patron
age will effect. Instead of sending
abroad, purchase your goods, your ma
chinery, arid your implements of calling
here. You will thereby give business to
your merchants, and so enable them to
reduce their prices, increase their stocks,
build up the trade and commerce of the
city, and improve and beautify their
stores aud dwellings.
So with the mechanics. Have all
of your work done at home, and you
enable him to work at lower rates, to
employ additional help, to give employ
ment and subsistence to needy families
to increase his supplies and his facilities
for doing work, and to attract trade and
business to your community.
And so, too, with the laboring people.
Give them employment, in preference to
people from abroad. They are here
with you, and desire to work. By
employing them, you enable honest,
industrious people to supply themselves
and their families, and at the same
time give the very best encouragement
to honesty and industry.
Now, this is, in our judgment, the
right policy for everybody to pursue.
It will build up your community, increase
its attractions lor trade and commerce,
aud increase its population, beautify its
thoroughfares, enhance the value of its
real estates increase its municipal rev
enue, and so benefit every individual,
every class, and every interest. If there
is anything that, you cannot get at home,
then send abroad for it; but give your
own people your trade and patronage,
to the fullest extent, and you will have
no cause to regret it.
We desire that every one shall sue
coed, and do well ; and we should have
no objection to Carrington A- Cos.
increasing tln-ir business, and even
acquiring a fortune ; but let it not be at
tbe expense of our own people and our
own community. Patronize home in
dustry first, aud encourage home enter
prise before you send your money abroad.
That is our advice, atul it will, we hope,
lie taken in the kindly spirit in which it
is given, and have the desired effect.
—ln Toronto, last Thursday evening,
a young girl's life was saved by her
hoops. She was skating and broke
through the ice, when her hoop skirt
becoming inverted, caught on tho sides
of the lode aud supported her head above
water until help came,
—The New York broker who recently j
invited a number til ladies to his house, i
and had placed on the plate ol each a
gilt worth one thousand dollars, is said
to l,e Leonard W. Jerome. Some of the
husbands ot the ladies were very indig
nant, and compelled them to send then
presents hack. Mr. Jerome treats the
ensation very iiouchstUuillv.
Thk Houpays have come—those
blessed institutions for the repose ol
over-tasked man, •*« <>- of eVt r
bouvaut voutfc. How seasonably .hey
come, to' brighten with the.r light ol
gladpeasthedoll winters wemher, and
to warm us with the cheerful blaze ol
fireside delight! How the feeling of
“home" pervade* the season! The t ares
of business give way to the festive pre
paration, the barter and sale to tiie gift
and liberal charity, nnd nil is love,
friendship, and benevolence.
Memory brings up again the past.
That “star which shone in Bethlehem
is shedding its holy light upon our
hearts, prophetic ot the present joy—the
merry Christmas; and a merry Christ-
J mas be it to all I Winter, true, is cold.
‘ but th.- heart is warm, in spite of Irost
und w ind, tor it is nestling in the bosom
of home; nnd how it quickens into life
by the fervid embrace ! All is now gay
cty and merriment. The care-worn face
of business brightens into a glad counte
nance of happy expectation. The hur
ried and mi certain step ot eager pursuit
after gain is changed into the brisk and
confident advance to the outstretched
arms of home; for there all is love and
faith, undiintned by the least “shadow
of turning."
See that Christmas Tree—a beautiful
holly—planted firm into its bed (a
mackerel kit artfully covered, by mama,
with many-colored sprays of tissue paper),
and now springing trom the verdant sod
(of green baize cloth), stretches its
branches so provokingly tree-like toward
the parlor windows, that the canary bird
hanging there is in a flutter of delightful
excitement, as if awakened into some
dim traditional idea of freedom and the
woods. *
The long-expected time has arrived.
It is early Christmas morning, rung in
by the merry chimes of children’s
laughter, and welcomed by the joyous
hearts of all. Our little darling springs
from bed, ant! with rapid strides gains
the fire place to take a peep into the
tiny stocking overhead. But oh, how
changed the expression ot her counte
nance, as, with quivering lip, she sighs
—‘‘Old Santa hasn’t come." Turning,
with heavy heart, her brimful eyes meet
those of mama, who can scarcely keep
her secret. "Mama,” queries the little
one, again looking toward the fire plat*
haven't I been a good girl ?” The
maternal heart is full, but the acting
("for one day only”) must be carried
out. "Darling,” comes the answer,
"yes, you have been good ; but the
chimney was hot, last nigh', and per
haps Santa Claus couldn’t come down
so well—hut he man have come through
the ehilnuey in the parlor.” "Bet's go
and see, mama!” Together they cross
the hall—cautiously followed by papa,
from behind the door. The knob is
turned by a little hand—the scene opens
—and look ! (if the blaze of light will
let you look) — here's the Christmas
Tree, with iprecious gifts of love, and
fruit, and bonbons, and wondrous toys, j
and endles nieknacks, reflected a him- !
dred times and in a hundred gorgeous
colors, bright with the flames of scores
of miniature candles, in the delighted 1
eyes of all—child and parents.
Do we of a larger growth not see in
our children’s Christmas Tree an em
blem of the beneficent fertility of na
ture? We have reason in the bounty
we enjoy for a perpetual holiday, so let •
us always make merry, if we can, aud |
forget not to be thankful too.
But, whither is our pen wandering?
We simply designed a thought inspired
by the surroundings : The happiness of
childhood is horn within itself, and by
entering into its gladness wo learn the
lesson which age is so apt to forget, that
the mere consciousness of existence is
a fruitful source of pleasure. Then, too,
the appreciation of “home,” what a
mighty power 1 We lose the inspirations
of nature for want of tranquility. Out
into the fields and beneath the skies we
carry eager, restless, turbulent thoughts:
but the fireside breathes repose, and be
cause of this, images of beauty and love i
rise from its hours of stillness and
charm us heavenward.
Josii Billing's Lecture in Wash
inotox. — He “opened” by going through
several amusing contortions and gyra
tions, such as rolling up his sleeves,
coughing, fixing his collar, and twirling
his moustache, which fairly brought
down the house. The following are
some of the lecturer’s best points:
“Bravery is a good thing, but pulling a
thorn out of a mule’s hind leg and try
ing to dodge the kick is too much. He
believed in ordination, but few men
were ordained to be honest. The largest
share of the first edition of honest men
is still in the hands of the publisher.
He was fond of strategy—it was handy.
A friend of his—a colonel in the army
—tried strategy by endeavoring to re
duce a swamp by catching the billions
fever out of it. Women should he edu
cated, but those who were best educated
worked better in single harness, llielies
are good, but they won’t render us
respectable any more than the king’s
evil will make us renowned.— Chronicle.
The New York Citizen is a little
more explicit about that great game of
fiiro in New York last week. It says:
“ The most vigorous and pertinacious
fight against the “tiger” ever made in
this country came off ou Wednesday
night last. The assailing party was an ex-
member of Congress of this city, while the
bank was backed by a mcmberclcct. The
attacking party lelt the scene of conflict
| at X- M. on Thursday, the winner of
$124,000. We think this affair has no
parallel in sporting annals. We are
glad of it, Leu.; il will help set you on
your feet again, and Joint can afford to
lose it. At one time in the eveuing Mr
Wood was the loser to the extent of
SBO,OOO, but cool persistence induced
tho change of fortune recorded above'.”

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
from Medical gentlemen, Professors of the
highest Opihalffiie talent in Augusta, Ga., and
ill tho Union :
Arot sta, Ga.. December Sth, 1866.
I bare examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and 6nd them of good quality. His
testimonials arc very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
ArorsTA, Ga., Pec 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor nf the superiority of the Australian
Cry stal—single aud double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon the Iks- established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
bu'i an eye in it.- different conditions of vision
is so perfect, ns to render sight easy without
effort. In uiy opinion, mme others should be
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
seem to grew old, and by having a focus at
nny point f the surface, they appear to re
store- the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS 1). FORD, M. D.
At gi>ta, (»a. Dec*. TANARUS, 1>66.
I bare examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Jiernbardt. aud
in justice to the Professor, mast say that his
Glasses are <»f a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of a.must every eye. where tho
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glares, which are us a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor's
Glasses most cheerfullv.

hardt to all who tuny require Glasses.

Avcusta, Ga., Dec. 7,1566.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider ll.ura superior to any
wo bnve seen. They are udmirahly adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glosses are of new and ingenious contrivanre.
We cordially recommend the Professor t*» all
those who require scientific optical assistance.

Avgusta, Ga., Dec. S, 1566.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. Al. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study of his life, and is evidently
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident of New York. The diseased acu ;, $ e
will find great relief from the use of his vlassc?.
I have seen numerous testitnoniyls t'» l b s ex
collence of his Glasses, and io his skill as
Optician, and I would recommend him toau
whose vision is impaired either through age u
