A MISTER

/ that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming hro' the
trees;
And I watched the streamlet glistening,
As entranced there was listening
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo ! | saw 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 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 a strange expression surely,
Said |, looking down demurely,
trust good sir, the question you'll excuse;
But he only looked the prouder
As he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hlb's for all the Goods you use
Why bless me, man shouted
As his sanity I doubted,
tbs surely naught to me what merchants goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb YOU
So left him there reclining,
Where no ray Of sun was shining
And frequently I wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods;
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myselfand Sinon'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
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
They will find SPLENDID ASSORTMENT

costs but little more than shingles and much less
than tin. By using large sheets, l6 x % inches,
a tight slate roof may be made with very little
pitch. VIM. Frazier, Esq, has very flat one on
his residence near Stanton, which has never
leaked a drop.
A building rooted with fre-proof slate can be
insured at from ten to twenty-five per cent. less
than one covered with shingles.
School-slates, mantels, table-tops and all kinds
of slate work will be produced at these quarries,
