Joyful News!
The Cry is "Still They Come" "
WHAT?

WHAT
Why beautiful goods that will cause great talk,
As our old friend N. Powers, has just returned from
New York
And receiving at his Store Southeast of the
Square,
rich Spring and Summer Stock, which hem sell very
fair,
Embracing clothing and every article in the furnishing
line,
Which in beauty and durability are SO "truly divine
He has coats and pants of almost every style and
shade.
Most fashionabiy cut, and very neatly pressed and
made; .-.-
And as for handsome yests-hen sell you one in a
flash
For the very least possible share Of your cash.
Nor forgetting old line Wings and Democrats,
For whom he keeps variety Of suitable hats,
The finest caps-all fancies sure to please
Both cloth and silk, and new style Japanese;
Handsome shirts, and splendid cravats and collars,
So to NJ. Powers don't neglect to bring your doars
For with myriads we would now dispute,
VINO dare say his garments fail to suit;
Those most neat and fastidious in TASTE
Who Oft in badly made clothes their money waste.
But strange to say. for the very smallest sum,
You feel inclined to expend at Powers Emporium,
He will give you bargains SO very rcih rare,
That will compel you for months to wonder and stare.
He keeps clothing TO suit the large and the small
And to credit our word, just give him a call.
"Quick sales and small profts' is his motto long
traced,
So to NJ Powers Store for bargains make haste.

Winter will not last forever,
Spring will soon come, forth again,
And with flowers of every color
Deck the hillside and the plain
Lambs will soon in fields be sporting,
Birds re.echo from each tree,
Winters gone its days are ended!
We are happy, we are free"
Hedge and tree will soon be budding.
Soon with leaves be covered DER:
Winter CANNOT last forever!
Brighter days are yet in store
Sorrows will not last forever,
Brighter times will come again,
Joy our every grief succeeding,
As the sunshine after rain.
As the snow and ice Of winter
Melt at the approach Of spring,
So will all our cares and trials
Joy, and peace, and comfort bring.
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexcd sore,
Sorrows CANNOT last forever!
