Now, one word as to terms, &c.

Now, one word as to terms, &c.
We do not pretend to claim that We
can sell goods at retail at less prices than
we can buy for at wholesale. We do
claim, however, that we will sell Our
goods at very small margin of profit,
and we will prove our words by our
works. We are also well aware of the
fact that "times are hard" money "close"
and hard to get ; therefore, we very much
prefer to sell our goods for Cash, deeming
it better for ourselves and also better for
our customers, when it can possibly be
done and as an inducement to custom
ers to adopt the rule of Cash Payment on
delivery of goods, we shall, on and after
May lst, 1875, make discount Of five
per cent. on all goods sold for cash, ex-
cepting only very few articles Of trade
that are now sold as low as they possibly
can be.
We shall endeavor to verify the fact
that, "a nimble sixpence is better than a
slow shilling"
In closing, we will simply say, that We
shall ever endeavor to extend to all of our
patrons, kindly courtesy, fair and square
dealing, and all reasonable accOmmoda-
ton. We most cordially invite all to call
and examine our goods and try our
prices; and in order to get low prices,
and five per cent. off for cash, all the
"card" that we shall require them to pre-
sent, will be "greenbacks," and no matter
who brings them; for We believe that one
mans money is worth as much as the
money Of any other man.

Nothing on earth can smile but hu-

pared with an eye-fash and mirih-faSh ?
A face that cannot smile is like a bud

night, and smile is the twilight that

his careful wife had guarded him with,
and started by the ten O'Clock train TO

The rain beat on the windows as the

thai they were approaching a certain

As Omen pass thc roadside,
When wearily falls the day
turn 70 look from the hilltop
At the mountains Ear AVA.
The ted sun through the forests
Throws hlthcr IA, parting beams
And FAR in the quiet valley
The happy village CLEANS
There the lamp is III in the cottage
A the hushandm1n's lab,rs cease,
Aud 1 think that all things are gathered
And folded IN twilight peace.
But The sound of merry voices
Is hearl in the village street,
While pleased the grandamr watches
The play Of the lji,le feet.
Aud a, night to mNoy Gres de
The rosy children come;
To tales CT the bught-eyed fairies
They listen and are dumb.
There seems it a joy forever
To labor asj 20 Learn,
For love with an eye % mas

Aul the father bl,,sss the "a other,
And the children bless the sire.
And the cheer anil Joy OF ths hearIh>tOar

ln that green valley grow;
And whether 'twcrc earth OF heaven
Why should.i thou care 10 kaoN:
save that Thy brow i troubled,
And dim Is Thy hclpmate's eye:
Aud g,ayes are green Ia The valley.
And stars ale bright 10 the ,ky.
