To mark the hours of fe's declining sand
Or bid us rise or sink to sweet repose,

With heavy spoons I'd buy, well plated DER,

Nv daughters dresses should be made with taste,
And well adorned with bugle, cord and lace;
Soft ribbons should confne the clustering curls,
Around the heads of my beloved girls;
Soft cambrics plaids and mulls, enfold their form,
In Summers sultry days when weather's warm
Fine linen kerchiefs, richly broidered yokes,
Silk mantillas, cloth circulars and cloaks
With b;: gle ornaments well covered DER,
That all were bought at Mary Fithian's store.
Nor vet unmindful still that fashion rules,
And guides the wise as well as fools;
I'd have my sons in all their modes of dress,
Obey with moderation her behests,
And whether daily wearing on their backs,
The finest broadcloth coats or modest sacks,
Or plain or fancy silk or satin vests,
They'd choose to wear around their manly chests,
These truths in constant mind I'd have them bear
On fit, no less than make, depends the wear;
And if they wish to shine in stylish clothes,
Will get their suits at Grosscup's store and Co.'s.
To keep in Summer cool, in Winter warm,
Secure from scorching heat or piercing storm;
Full suits of broad and Summer cloth I'd take,
Off. Il J. B. Thompson's splendid make;
From choicest cloths their shears should cut my
clothes
