a MYSTERY.

| that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
trees;
And l watched the streamlet glistening,
As entranced there was listening,
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath q tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo +! saw afellow-being ON the ground;
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
Goodfriend, said l. approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger of news ?
But no other word he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save eco to Simon Hilb's for Dry Goods,
Boots and Shoes.'
That's strange expression surely,
Said ], looking down demurely,
trust, good sir, the question you'll excuse;
But he only looked the prouder ess'
AS he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hilb's for all the Goods you use.
Why bless me, man shouted
AS his sanity doubted,
IT'S surely naughtt to me what merchants goods
you buy. s
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
So left him there reclining, 4-
Where no ray of sun was shining
And frequently l wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods; r..e
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myself and Simon's goods.
So then | resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold I've cause for gladness,
That the words deemed were madness,
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
Simon Hilb .,.-.a
So all will find the same cause for gladness who
call in time to secure some of the late bargains,
lately received direct from New York

very much louder. proceeding from some IN

chimney was knocked off, and the inmates
OF the house were very much alarmed. The
effect of the shock was felt at different parts
OF the lawn. No reason has as yet been as
