.Ie Of Malce,n HILL.
Bunny, lying in the grass,
Saw the shining columns pass,
Saw the starry banner fly,
Saw the chargers fret and fume,
Saw the Tapping hat and plume;
Saw them with his moist and shy,
Most unspeculative eye,
Thinking only, in the dew,
That it was fine review
Till flash, not all Of STEEL
Where the rolling caisson's wheel
Brought rumble and a roar
Rolling down that velvet floor,
And like blows of autumn fail
Sharply thrashed the iron hail.
Bunny, thrilled by unknown fears,
Raised his soft and pointed ears,
-Alumb!ed his prehensile lip,
Quivered his pulsating hip,
As the sharp vindictivc yell
Rose above the screaming shell:
Thought tho world and all its men,
All the charging squadrons meant,
All were rabbit hunters then,
All to capture him intent.
Bunny was not much 10 blamo:
Wiser folk have thought the same
Wiser folk, who think they spy
Every LII begins with "I."
Wildly painting, here and there
Bunny sought the frser air.
Till he hoped below the hill
And saw, lying close and still,
Men with muskets in their hands.
Never Bunny understands
That hypocrisy of sleep,
In the vigils grin. they keep,
AS recumbent on that spot
They elude the level shot).
One-a grave and quiet man,
Thinking of his wife and child
Far beyond the Rapidan,
Where the Androscoggin smiled
Felt the little rabbit creep,
Nesting By bis arm and side.
Weakened from strategic sleep,
To that soft appeal replied,
Drew him to his blackened breast,
And
But you have guessed the rest.
Softly DER that chosen pair
Omnipresent love and care
Drew a mightier hand and arm,
Shielding them from every harm;
Right and left the bullets waved,
Saves the savior for the saved.
Who believes that equal grace
God extends in every place,
Little difference he scans
'Twixt rabbits God and mans.

"Can,t AHord 1t"

When we hear a business man whining that
he can't afford to advertise, we cannot bu,
pity such an individual for his short-sighted-
ness. Cant afford to advertise !" What
does this mean? Why, just this Can't sf-
ford to spend few dimes or dollars to invite
an inspection of goods and prices. Can't af-
ford to call in patronage. Can't afford to no.
tify the public that he has good articles for
sale-bona fide bargains to offer. Well, il a
merchant has no inducements to offer in the
shape of flrst-class goods at reasonable prices,
he can't afford to advertise. He had better
not, or he will only deceive the public and
damage the reputation of the paper he sdver-
tises in. If man has nothing worthy Of sd
vertsing he had better let it slone; he can't
afford it; he can't even afford to keep his
store open. 1t is an undisputed fact that the
most successful merchants are those who
have advertised literally and judiciously. This
is a rule with very few exceptions, IS every
intelligent man knows. People don't read
advertisemeuts-sonsep people don't. Some peo-
pie don't pay their debts, say their prayers,
read their Bible, go to church, or in fact do
anything except cheat, lie, steal, get drunk,
and raise the devil generally. But we main
tain that, with scarcely an exception, the
shrewd, careful, honest purchaser does read
advertisements, and reads them over and over
again. What the direction post is to the
traveller on the highway, 20 are the sdver
tising columns of the paper to the purchaser
Of goods-it directs him where to 90 and eX-
pend his money, where he can Obtain the most
and best goods for the least cash When n
man is afraid to advertise it is usually pref
ty good sign that he is afraid Of attracting too
much attention to the poorness of his stock,
or his exorbitant prices.
