FENHE PLEDGE.

'ENHE PLEDGE
BY THE BARD or MARBLE HALL.
In Baltimore famed for ladies fair,
Lived Il beautiful girl with haXen hair,
And bOnny blue eyes with liquid light
And roSeate lips, glorious sight.
The youngsters fell in love by dozens,
Friends and acquaintance, strangers and cousins;
But she crotchet had got in her head,
And said she determined never to wed,
Until she loved handsome youth
Who would grant all her requests in truth.
And bind him fully never to break
The pledge he had taken for her sake.
The young mon stood aghast with fear:
Some said twas religion, some said twas money;
But 1t took them aback and they felt quite funny.
Among them there fine young man;
Says he, u love her well as | can,
Now I'll make her the PROMISE both open andfree,
Tho fair one stepped up to his side
And said. Should | now be your BRIDE
You must promise here before us all,
To buy your clothes at MARBLE HALL.
N other can suit husband of mine,
The coats SO handsome. the pants divine"
Says Johnny. laughing, You dear little elf
II you like them well, get pair for yourself"
We offer unusual inducement in all kinds of Cloth
ing and Furnishing Goods, together with superior
line of piece goods for custom work. Boys Clothing

BY THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL.
Near Moscow there dwelt an old Baron so grim,
That all the folks near kept shady of him;
But beautiful ward a lady so fair,
Was known to be shut in his castle there.
Her beauty was famed all through the land
And many young mobiles had sought her hand;
But the grim old Baron was hard to please,
And would give his consent to none ofthcsc.
The Baron Dorlinsky had sought in vain,
Brewery means his suit to gain;
But the lady Ine2 at church had seen
Young count OrlOf, of handsome men.
And he too loved her passingly well,
But how to get her ne could not tell;
But he happened to hear of Smith 4 Brothers,
And sent for u suit to surpasS all others.
The lady delighted the Baron won over.
And gave their consent to the well dressed lover
So. gents now tell you and all

And suit you'll get that with perfect ease,
