A MYSTERY! !
When the sun his rays were shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming
through the trees.
And I watched the river glistening,
AS entranced there was listening,
To the melting, merry music of the
Meath giant tree reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo! ! saw, a 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 approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger
But no other words he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save you'll find there's none like Bab-
cocks Boots and Shoes.
No misrepresentation of goods.
Then 1 drew little nearer,
And spoke the words much clearer,
1trust good sir, that you, the question
will excuse,
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save your cash by buying Bab-
cocks Boots and Shoes.
Perfect satisfaction guaranteed.
Why bless me, man, Ishouted,
AS his sanity 1 doubted.
'Tis surely nought to me what peoples
goods you use.
But he only looked the prouder,
AS he spoke the words the louder,
There's always perfect comfort in
BabcOck's Boots and Shoes.
The largest, cheapest and best stock in
Lo, I left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
And frequently wondered at the
words the man did use.
And e thase soms s%rs,f hisasn dHss sistory miss!s
Was weaving round myself and Bab-
cocks Boots and Shoes.
Competition defled.
Lo, I then resolved to buy them,
Nay, I felt compelled to try them,
And forthwith went to the cor, Second
and Market, no time to lose,
And behold have cause for gladness,
That the words deemed were madness,
Induced me first to purchase Babcock's
Boots and Shoes.

He seems, in fact. Nhen vounr, not to

of the state.
