FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. %, 1866.
The CObbIer's secret.


A waggish cobbler, once, in Rome,
Put forth proclamation,
That he'd be willing to disclose,
For due consideration,
A secret which the cobbling world
Could ill afford to loose
The way to make, in one short day,
A hundred pair Of shoes.
From every quarter to the sight
There ran thousand fellows
Tanners, cobblers boot-nen, shoe-men,
Jolly leatheT-sellers-
All edolent of beer and smoke,
And cobbler's wax and hides;
Each fellow pays his thirty pence,
And calls it cheap besides.
Silencel The cobbler enters,
And casts around his eyes;
Then curls his lip-the rogue then irowns,
And then looks wondrous wise,
''My FRIEND" he says, ats simple quite,
The plan that propose;
And every one of you, think,
Might learn it if you choose
"a good harp knife is all you need
In carrying out my plan;
So easily is it, none can fall
Let him be child or man.
To make hundred pair of hoes,
Just go back to your shops,
And take hundred pair of boots,
And cut off all the tops p
There are 10000 mormons-the original

Are well known by the travelling public. The
Steamers are all new, constructed with great re-
gard to speed, comfort and safety and are COM
manded by experienced, courteous, and attentive
officers. Their superior speed enables them to
make sure connections with all trains, thereby
causing delay to travellers at either end of the
route.
The Fare has been reduced by the general So
licitation of the travelling public, to whom we
feel grateful for their very liberal patronage,
which, we trust, by just course, to continue to
merit.
