THE WINTER'S WREAT
The winter's wreath is a sparkling gem,
It glitters, it glitters so bright;
As Crystals fair, the icicle there,
It beauty displayeth outright.
The mountain sno ri as it settles above,
The hail.storm bounding beneath,
The flooding rains, and the whirlwind high,
Oh ! they fill up the winter's wreath !
The winter's wreath is a sparkling gem,
But it chillsth the human heart ;
And mortals shrink from its icy touch,
With a shivering throb and a start !
The wrappers of HYAM, we must confess,
Alone can protect our frame;
For thousands acknowledge with heartfelt glee
How truly great Is his name

For winter hear his unbounded stock
Maintains the position he holds ;
Whilst countless supplies, in succession arise,
Each Jay with delight he unfolds.
Remember the shop, the number, the name,
Remember his bargains likewise;
L. HYAM ranks proudly the chief of the trade,
Though noted the lowest in price!
3,000 Waterproof Wrappers, of the most fashionable materials,
rem 9s. 6d. each. .
Observe—All garments at this establishment are marked the
price in plain figures, from which no abatemen is made. Any
article exchanged, which is not approved of, or the money returned.
