In Baltimore, famed for ladies fair,
Lived beautiful girl with iaxen hair,
And bonny blue eyes with liquid light,
And roseate lips glorious sight
Tho youngsters fell in love by dozens,
Friends and acqualntances, strangers and cousins;
But she crotchet had got in her head,
And said she determined never to Wed,
Until she loved 4 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 whacked their boots, some pulled their hair;
Some said twas religion. some said twas money;
But it took them abaok and they felt quite funny.
Among them there uas fine young man;
Says nc, 81 love her as well MS ! can
Now II make her the promise. both open and free.
The 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.
No other can suit husband of mine
The coats are 60 handsome. the pants divine"
Says Johnny, a laughing You dear little elf.
If you like them so well, set pair for yourself.

AZ NOWN IN RUSSIA
by THH 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. 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 ofthese.
The Baron Dorlinsky had sought in vain,
By every means his suit to gain:
But the lady lneZ at church had seen
Young count 0rlof, Of handsome mein.
And he too loved her passingly WELL
But how to get her he could not tell;
But he happened to hear of Smith Il Brothers,
And sent for q suit to surpass all others.
The lady delighted the Baron over,
And gave their consent to the well dressed lover
So, gents, now tell you one and all
If you would succeed go to MARBLE HALL.
And suit you II get that with perfect ease,
VIII permit you to do whatever you please.
Be sure and come to MARBLE HALL for Men and
Boys Clothing. SMITH BROS. Il CO.,
