MYSTERY.

/ that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro the
trees;
And | watched the streamlet glistening,
As entraneed there was listening
TO the melting, merry music of the breeze;
When beneath tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo! saw wheeling on the ground
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted.
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
Good friend, said |, 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 $50 to Simon Hllb for dry goods, boots
and Shoes"
That strange expression surely,
Said I, looking down demurely,
trust good sir, the question you'll excuse,
But he only looked the proQdep
As he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hlb's for all the goods you use
Why bless me- mani | shouted
AS his sanity doubted,
IT'S surely naHght to me what merchants goods
But he only cried the highes
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
So left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun shining,
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 myself and Simon's goods,
So then l resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold Eve 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 of Ladies'
Cloaks, at prices ranging from So. so to $25; 200
sets ladies' Furs from 81 so to $50; elegant blan-
