2 WILL BE BUSH DAY Shoppers Will be Out Last Time Searching for Presents The shonpers will be out for the lest time today, In search of rresents for those who have been forgotten, while old Santa Claus, In many instances, will make his visits to the toy store. This 13 always left as the last thing by the average Santa, and while the little tot is dreaming tonight of what ho will find in the sttoeking in the morning, different toy stores will be enjoying an unusually good business. That this Christmas Is to tie the best Brunswick has witnessed in many years is best evidenced by the fact that all of the merchants have re ported a good business. Yesterday the city resembled the scene of a great carnival, and hundreds of shoppers wore out selecting pres ents, and It was the best day of the week . However, the scene yesterday will be nothing compared with the one today, when nearly everybody will bo out for the last time, and Santa will prepare to take his annual visit to the little ones. Pof’s Smile of Geoloa. His mouth was like Apollo’s bow on beat and in the natural curve said sor row, with imagination, but when wreathed into smiles by any cheering Inflorescence of his soul, disclosing a set of ivory teeth as evenly set as the opal walls of Eden, was absolutely cap tivating and beautiful. So remarka bly pleasing was this transition from sadness to sunshiny gladness of hilari ty that I now seein to see him smiling before me, lighting up the dim vistas of my memory as the rain fraught light ning does the darkness of a summer night. But there was this peculiarity about his smile, which I do not remem ber ever to bave seen in any other per son—namely, that it did not appear to be the result of gladness of heart alto gether or gladness mixed with sorrow, but a pleasing satire, a smiling review of all that bad just been said by him, like the triumphant world renovating laughter of the weeping heavens, ex pressive of that beautiful Apollonian disdain which seemed to say, "What you ‘see tlirough u glass darkly’ I be hold through the couched eye of an 11- lnmlnated seer.” Not only did be look this, but be felt it—felt it with all bis Inmost soul, it was, in the truest ac ceptance of the term, a smile of gentua. — l " The Poe-Chlvers Papers” In Century.

The anniver sary of God’s great gift to Hi- oniy begotten Sen is the best of all tinier, for Christian giving. It ought to un lock every purse and prompt everyone to generous gifts to the church of God, to Christ’s poor, and to friends and family. The extent of our Christ mas living will be an exact index of our gratitude to God and love to our fellowmen. By Brightening our Home Lite. The biithday of our gentle Saviour ought to be the gladest day of all the year in every Christian home, the day when hearthstones burn brightest and good cheer abounds, a day of radiant peace and love and joy, a day ol’ heaven upon earth. God speed the time when through out our broad land it shall no longer boa day of revelr” and surftiting as Christ's own day, when that sweet spirit of loving kindness which He brought into the world shall touch all hearts and ennoble every life. Th FerseverinK Eel. Young eels in passing up a river *liow the most extraordinary perse verance in overcoming all obstructions. The large flood gates-sometimes fif teen feet in height—on the Thames might be supposed sufficient to bar the progress of a fish the size of n darning needle. But young eels have a whole some Idea that nothing can stop them, and in consequence nothing does. Speaking of the way in which they as cend flood gates and other barriers, one writer says: "Those which die stick to the post; others, which get n little high er, meet with the same fate, until at last a layer of them Is formed whieh enables the rest to overci int> tj\p <!iffl culty of the passage. ‘ - j "The mortality resulting**** Oin 'Mich •forlorn hopes’ greatly helps to account for the difference in the number of young eels on their upward migration and that of those which‘return down stream la (be autumn.

A young lady who had been pouring tea nt n function in a suburban town, having toward the end ol’ the affair become somewhat fatigued, sat down In a quiet corner of the room, where she witnessed the following Incident: A young man came in and made his way to the hostess, greeting her and apologizing for his lateness. “Awfully glad to see you, Mr. Blank,” said the hostess. “So good of you to come, and all the way from New York too.
