a 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 entranced there was listening
To the melting, merry music of the breeze;
When beneath tree reclining,
Where 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 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 Hilb 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,
AS he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hilb's for all the goods you use.
Why bless ME, man! l shouted,
AS his sanity | doubted,
It's surely naught to me what merchants goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
w it'll enthusiastic fire,
Youl Il save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
try
SO left him there reclining,
Where ray of sun was shining,
And frequently | wondered at what the man
spoke In the woods;
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 l deemed were madness
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
Simon Hlb.
