Kind readers, attention, forget once your cares,
We'll sing you song Of the mercantile wares;
The subjects not new, but il interests all,
From the old to the young from the great TO tho small
he farmer, the printer, the carpenter too,
And all Of that class who have plenty to do;
The lawyers, ofceurse, though feW in this place,
Still they have an tnt'rest as well as case;
And every young man who consults we'll his purse,
And young lady too, give heed to this verse.
Number rs the place whore bargains are sold,
Where conscionce's respected and truth ever told,
Where all may trade safely, fair profit reap,
Who're all that have cash buy goods that cheap
Where all who have produce can trade as with cash,
And carry home good goods instead Of poor trash,
Our stock is complete in every respect,
And everythr kept in way that's correct.
We have coffee and tea, ah! who dare deny it,
That's the best In our town, please come and tryit
md sugar that's sweet as every one knows,
Fdr the very best proofs the way it all goes.
we have cinnamon, cloves, ground pepper and rice.
Cocoa and choculate, bnrnt coffee, ard spice, .a...
Nutmegs, saleratus, good candles, lnd rope,
Tobacco, molasses, whale oil, and soap.
In fact everything in the grocery line,
Frem sugar and syrupsto good wrapping twine.
II takes In all colors from white to pale blue;
Now ladies remember the place to buy ware
Is at old number 7-it's always found there.
ehave carpets and rugs, both cotton and wool,
And our stock in that line is always kept full.
We have dress goods, trimmings and edgngs to sell,
And knicknacks and notions too tedious to tell
But ladies', Oh! ladies, there's nothing 80 nice
As nice little glitter, with nice little prices
They don't pinch the toes nor the pockets at all,
They'll suit at all times either church or a ball;
So tarry not long, come and get the first pick,
For the best will all sell most terrible quick.
They hardly need praise, but Il mention collars
That cost from sixpence 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,
But they are not all that calls your attention
or taimas and shawls We still have TO mention;
Tho yattes French and Of course they are right,
They'll keep you SO warm Of cold winters night.
Our stock OF merinos and eoburgsl Is full,
We'Ii warrant them all to be cotton or wool;
So come here and buy, do not purchase elsewhere
Your hosiery, diapers, table-spreads fair,
Your bedspreads, your ckEgs your comforts TO wear
Round your neck in cold weather; but We will declare
Before we proceed with this our rude sonnet,
You mover Md Bee such love OF a bonnet
As we can present 10 your wondering eyes;
Some prown, some tan, come blue as the skies,
Some are pink, some purple, some variousdyes;
They will suit every age, They'll ft every size.
Now plcsse to remember our silks plaid and black,
They're warranted all not 10 crook or 10 erackj
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 were all Sought with cash and great pains;
So the thingi quite plain, the fact please regard
That BsstUick Il Beatty mill sell better qnGty Of dc
laiae than any other mercAaRt tn RaUenn0, for oHs
shilling yard.
II takes too long
To sing the song
or all we have to sell;
Come friends and all,
Give us q call,
So patrons now farewell.
