DANIEL FARRAR, Esq. OF BOSTON, IIA 88. Dear Sin: I feel no little
pleasure in inscribing this Story to you, whose life afl'ords a
practical exposition of that "law of kindness" which is enforced in
it. More I need not say, for I feel assured that public praise

reddening in the comfortable blaze. Wide open, that the sound of
village bells may float to our fireside. Wide open, that the beggar
and the outcast may, so they will, enter and welcome, for Christmas

written the magic word " Holiday " on the windows of Doctor Bogie's
"Establishment," and of the Misses Bluehose's " Seminary." Come to
comfortable Fathers and Mothers in comfortable parlors, who have
had Christmas candles lighted, and cakes made, and snap-dragons
manufactured, and no end ofdainties provided for a jolly children's
party, in which they themselves mean to be children...
