Some six months previous to the
opening of this chapter, We formed 8
purpose to write a poem for this oo-
casion, and had the material season
ing, but when the time arrived to
mix the compound, our cook book
was missing, and our readers will
probably never know the extent of
their loss. But the thread of our
narrative runs not in the direction
of lamentation, but has to deal with
some questions of general interest.
Two great questions hang upon the
lips and canter through the brain Of
many persons, at this period of our
worlds history. First: Who to
marry and how to get herr And, sec
ond; What to buy and where to buy?
The last clause of the second stsnza
is our text.
! To us there is much of interest
which attaches itself to the work
ing of mercantile machinery. The
various articles resorted to secure
patronage. The different degrees
of energy displayed in hewing
way along the commercial route, and
in attracting the attention of the
public to the the respective, centers
of commerce and traffic, Our.object
is to do double service of which our
advertisers and readers may each
| derive an equal share:
The Dry Goods Clerk is nice young man,
Who smiles at the ladies when he can.

Dry Goods.
"Well by darn if that don't beat
all nature" /" said a countryman to his
wife one day, as they were leaving
the elegant dry goods house of
Wa. A. RICE Bros,
And no wonder the simple minded
farmer was well nigh confounded at
what he saw. Their store has grown
in size, to keep pace with their trade,
until it would require a full day for
a thorough inspection of their stock.
One of the firm remains in New York
all of the time, and by this advant-
age their purchases are made ex-
premely low. Whatever advantage
there may be, however, is given to
their customers. Their store room,
!, which would otherwise be entirely
too dark, is continually lighted by
the smiling countenances Of a corps
of efficient statesmen, who are always
particularly pleased to see you. We
have noticed that, of late, this firm
are paying more attention to firm
fabrics, choice styles of fancy articles
than formerly, and as consequence
their trade in the more expensive
goods has largely increased. In do
mestics and heavy goods however
they are equally as heavy purchases
as before and their friends in the
country find their store desirable
place to buy. They are extensive
advertisers, and are known far and
near. @ - o7

l We have always argued that this
firm was guilty of violating the divine
injunction, "Lead us not into tempta-
tion." Two more handsomely
dressed show Windsows than may be
seen by standing in front of their
store, are rarely looked upon, and
the desire to try the resisting power
of the plate glass must sometimes
amount to a temptation, Once in
side, and the display of foreign and
domestic goods on every side, is ex-
tremely aggravating to the possessor
Of small purse and large desires.
That good looking man, hard at
work behind the counter, is one of
the firm, and the proprietor of the
establishment. The other partner
remains in New York, and deyotes
his entire time to purchasing the
stock. This house is cele brated for
the complete assortment of goods in
stock and for the accommodating
spirit which is manifested toward
customers by all connected with the
establishment.
