MY FATHER'S OLD FILE.
One day I was searching the library closet,
Where many old documents formed a deposit;
And having examined the contents awhile,
I happened to meet with my father's old file.
'Twas loaded with papers refer• ing to trade,
And I'm happy to say that the bills were all paid.
For my father did things in a straightforward style,
As proved by the swarms of receipts on his file.
You'll not be surprised that among the amounts
I should meet with a number of tailors' accounts.
The bill of a tailor I found in the pack,
Which my father had settled just twenty years back ;
So, thinks I to myself, I will give it a quiz,
And see what the price on the document is.
• - COAT, WAISTCOAT, AND TROWSERS

And the price was enough to make any named
one ill he bill,
I cannot remember the sum to a fraction,
But really it wasn't an honest transaction ;

For very much less would provide him with one—
Not one such as that on my father's old file,
But a thoroughly beatitiful durable tile.
A PAIR OF NEW BOOTS
For my father's own feet,
Was another affair which I happened to meet.
And again did I find that the purchase was one
At variance far with E. MOSES and SON.
