CHRISTMAS GIFTS
•»N ACUOSTIC.
THAT SOCIETY'S FAVORITES
GIVE AND RECEIVE.
Social Happening* Preparatory
Holiday*—I)o Not Let U« Forget tlio
Poor During These Time*—A Merry and
Happy Christina* to Ail.
For the past week society lias been
only moderately gay.
The fact that there was n * attraction
-at the opera house made the evenings
•onthely devoted to private social pleas
ures.
The near approach of the holidays has
made everybody busy. The streets
have been thronged with merry shop
pers and the stores and shops are all
decked in holiday attire. The query
•comes from the interested, what must
we get for Christmas presents for our
lady and gentleman friends*/
The talent of judicious selection and
appropriate presentation of gifts cer
tainly belongs to the tine arts. The first
/principle involved, and one ever to be
accepted as the proper guide is the real
ization of these kindly sentiments:—
•‘Remember, it if more blessed to give
than to receive.”
Among friends, presents ought to he
made of small value; or, if valuable,
their worth should be derived from the
style of the workmanship; or from some
accidental circumstance, rather than
from the inherent and solid richness.
Especially, never offer to a lady a gift
•of great cost. It. is in the highest degree
indelicate, and bears the evidence of a
desire to place her under obligations,
and, at the same time, of buying hei
good will.
The gifts madj by ladies to gentlemen
ought to be of the most refined nature
possible. They should be dainty articles
not purchased but deriving a priceless
value as being the fashioning* of their
gentle skill.
A little picture from their pencil, a
gem of word painting on tinted note
paper, which in after years still retains
the odor of “sweet violets,” is often fat-
more acceptable, and is idolized as a
treasured souvenir, where costly bric-a-
brac is either lost, put out of sight or
forgotten. Let the donor and receiver
ever consider the presents of no worth
except from the manner in which they
are bostowed. “The will for the deed”
must be the consideration.
The,fortunate possessor of this world’s
goods when they are making their
rounds preparing Christmas surprises
for their associates equally favored,
should consider the poor and unfortunate
Dickens’ characters were never wanting
In gratitude, and such people in real life
are alike intensely grateful and appre
ciative.
One who has never known the sensa
tions of want misses a great deal of val
uable and pleasant emotion; without
this knowledge the capacity of making
great joy out of little blessings is en
tirely denied him.
Then, too, one can never fed for the
people about them as they should. The
very insight into the heart of human life
is something lost.
It was this sympathy for plain things
and bis unsdtish charity for plain people
about him that made the lute Ilonry
Grady the most universally beloved great
man who lived iu this day and genera
tion.
The poorest little waifs about bis of
fice merited his kindly and sympathetic
interest, as did the lives and ambitions
of his friends and associates.
And on that Christmas ove, when this
great] Georgian, this sovereign of the
people, grew tired and fell asleep, there
was an agonizing Jcry of anguish went
out from the poor unfortunates of At
lanta.
The heart of this great cosmopolitan
city was crushed, sis was all Georgia.
He had addod to the sum of humau
joy, and thousands came on that bright
Christmas day, to each of whom he had
done some loving act, and in return gave
the purest gems of their affection, mak
ing the ilower-colored bier of Henry
•Grady sparkle with the crystalized es
sence of love’s devotion, human tears.
A memorial more precious to his pos
terity than the jeweled crowns of every
united kingdom. Nature abhors a vacu
um, sooner or later all earthly space
must be filled. So others must, and
will take up the good work so beautiful
ly and unselfishly practiced by this good
^nan, and make a success as he did. |
But his spirit will ever dwell with his
-people, for it Is seldom that a nation is
‘blessed with a man who loves his state,
who loves bis people better than he does
himself, aud such a man was the la
mented Henry W. Grady.

is not more sudden or unlooked for

disease which would not occur were
the blood in order. To impure
blood is due a great variety of ills
that make life a burden.
All the year round, you may rely
upon Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery to purify the blood and
invigorate the system. It’s not like
the sarsaparilla*,' that are said to be
good for the blood in March, April
and May. The “Discovery” works
equally well at all times, and in all
cases of blood-taints, or humors, no
matter what their namo or nature.
It’s the cheapest blood-purifier,
sold through druggists, because you
only pay for the good you get.
Your money is returned if it
doesn’t benefit or cure you.
