Thy smile note, sweet early flower,
That, peeping forth thy rustic bower,
The festive news of earth dost bring,
A fragrant messenger of Spring.
But, tender blossom, why SO pale7 20
Dost hear stern winter in the gale7 a
And didst thou tempt tn ungentle sky "a.
To catch one vernal glance and die?
Such the wan lustre sickness wears, q
When health's first feeble beam appears;
So languid are the smiles that seek
To settle on thy care-worn cheek
When timorous hope the head uprears,
Still dropping and still moist with tears,
If, through dispensing grief be seen 1a
Of bliss the heavenly spark serene.

To write taking and appropriate
advertisement is not SO easy matter
as it would appear to be at first
sight. A retail dry-goods merchant
will often write an advertisement,
intended to be read by women and
young girls, and make it read as
pompously as though he were a
great Jobber, selling to the trade,
or as. solemnly as an old bachelor
makes his first proposition of mar
riage. He is serious and stiff, where
he should be agreeable and attract
i've, and uses technical terms where
the slightest, simplest, plainest idiom
would be more suitable. Most ad-
yertisements are too hard and formal,
and unnatural, and this is one reason
why reading notices are so much
sought after. The factis, that most
men go to work on an advertisement
with sledge-hammer effort, where
simplicity, good nature and ease are
the qualities needed.
