And bOnny blue eyes with liquid light,
And roseato lips, glorious sight
The youngsters fell in love by dozens.
Friends and acquaintance. strangers and cousins;
But she crotchet had got i'll 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 men stood aghast with fear;
Some whacked their boots, some pulled their hair;
Some said twas religion some said twas money;
But it took them aback and they felt quite funny.
Among them there was fine young man;
Says he, Il love her well rs | can,
Now III make her the promise, both open and free,
And agree to stand by it whatever it be-.
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 arc so handsome. the pants divine:
Says Johnny, laughing, ~ on dear little elf,
If you like them so WELL get pair for yourself.

HA NOWN IN RUSSIA
BY THE card 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 Inez at church had seen
Young count Orloff, 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 & 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 one and all
If you would succeed go to MARBLE HALL,
And suit you'll 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. & CO.,
