"A MISTER Y.

l that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
And l watched the streamlet glistenins
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 q fellow-being on the ground
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around
Good friend, said I, approaching
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger of news?
But no other word he uttered, -....a.~--.....-
And no other sentence muttered -
Save go to Simon Hilb's for Dry Goods
Boots and Shoes'
That's strange expression surely, {B.A.xS
Said |, looking down demurely, ets{{f5s
trust, good sir, the question you'll excuse;
But he only looked the prodder, ~
AS he spoke the words thelouder, q .' s2l

tbs surely naught to me what merchants goods
you buy. -
But he only cried the higher, ,.a--...
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
try
So left him there reclining,
Where no ray offs was shining,
And frequently | wondered OF what the man
spoke in the woods;
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myselfand Simon goods,
So then | resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold I've cause for gladness,
