cTf 5aTT| press. City Printer—Official Paper lAKfiEST ( in CIKCI 1-VTIOX. .v t f ; i - MORNING Th* 1 **# Home Patronage. 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'.” MARRIED. Do th* 24th Instaat, by W. O. Whldhy, J.

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.

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. H. H. BIGNON, M. D., JOHN L. COL KM AN, M. D.

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 disease. JOSEPH K.
