Kind readers, attention, forget once your cares,
Well sing you n song Of the mercantile wares
The subjects not new, but il Interests all,,
From the old to the youngsf from the great to the SMALL
The farmer, tho printer, the carpenter too,
And all of that class who have plenty to do; RI,
The lawyers, ofceurse, though feW in this place,
Still they have iHt'rest as we'll as Il case;
And every young man who e0nsults well his purse,
And young lady too, give heed TO this verse.
Number rs the place where bargains are sold,
Where consciences respected and truth ever told,
Where all may trade safely, fair profit reapg
Where all that have csh buy goods that cheap;
Where all who have produce can trade with cash,
And carry home good goods instead Of poor trash.
Our stock is complete In every respect,
And everythiIg kept in way that's correct.
We have cofoo and tea, ali! who redcny it, ,-
That's the best in town splease come and try it,
nd sugar that sweet, as ~ one knows,
For the very best proofs the way 1t all goes.
We have cinnamon, cloves, ground pepper and rice,
Cocoa and choculatc, bnrnt coffee, and spice,
Nutmegs, saleratuS, good candles, and rope,
Tobacco, molasseS, whale oil, and soap. f-
In fact everything in the grocery line,
s% gped wo s
II takes in all colors from white TO pale blue;
Now ladies remember the place to buy ware
Is at old numbcr 1-,lts always found there.
We have carpets ani rugs both cotton and wool,
And our stock in that line is always kept full.
We have dress goods, trimmings and edgings to sell,
And knick -nacks and notions too tedious to tell.
But ladies, oh! ladies, there's nothing so nice
As nice little tier, with nice little price;
They don't pinch the toes nor the pockets at ALL
They'll suit ut all times either church or a bal
SO tarry not long, come aud get the first pick,
For the best will all sell most terriblequck.
They hardly need praise, but I'll mention collars
That cost from sxpence up to five dollars:
They are done up in style, most perfect In shape,
Some are bound with silk lace, and some bound with
tape, i= a-s r.
But they are not all that calls your attention. 10
or talmas and shaws we still have 10 mention;
The yatters French, aud of course they right,
They'll keep you so warm of a cold winters night.
Our stock Of merinos and coburgs Is full, -
Well warrant them all TO be cotton or wool;
So come here h nd buy, do not purchase elsewhere
Your hosiery, diapers, table-spreads fair,
Your bedspreads, your tcEgs your comfortst to wear
Round your neck In cold weather. but we will declare
Beforewe proceed with this our rude sonnet,
Yon never did see such a love ofa bonnet
As we can present to your wondering eyes;
Some are prown. some tan, some blue rs the skies,
Some are pink, some purple, some yariousdyes;
They will suit every age, they'llft every size.
Nav please to remember our silks plaid aud black
They're warranted all not to crook or to crack;
And he who sells cheaper than we will or can,
Is lucky indeed, a most fortunate man.
But now we have come 10 our line Of deaines,
They bought with cash and great deal Of pains;
So the thing quite plain, the fact please regard,
That BostEiek q Beatty aiH setta better quality Of de
taiRe than any ether merehast II RausRna, for one
shilling yard.
II takes too long
To sing the song
Ofal we have TO sell;
Como friends and all, $50
Give us a call,
So patrons now farewell.
