When the sun his rays was shedding, ~
B~eaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' thu
trees;
| And I watched the streamlet glistening,
AS entranced there was listening,
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath a tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo l saw a 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,
An no other sentence muttered,
Save $50 to Simon Hilb's for Dry Goods,
Boots and Shoes.''
That's n 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,
90 to Hilb's for all the Goods you use.
why bless me, man Ishouted, lt 3-l0l
AS his sanity l doubted,
Ills surely naughtto me what merchants goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher, i 4
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simo.. dilb you
try!
% L leIt MIN there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
b. And frequently / wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods;
Thinking surely it was a mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myselfand Simon's goods,
So then l resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold I've cause for gladness,
That the words l deemed were madness,
