ZOE BROWN AND THE MINcE PIE.

At midnight on the cupboard shelf,
The hold mince pie btguiled the hour,
In whispering softly to itself,
And chuckling DER its conscious power,
80 Joseph Brown pull down your vest,
For YOU will long to take rest,
When I ycur dreaming fancies wake,
And YOU and l, a jolly pair,
Ride double on the wild nightmare,
Or take walk to regions where
They grow the stomach ache"
At midnight stealing through the shade,
Came Joseph Brown on footstep light.
With eager hand he drew his blade
Alas unlucky wight
Where was the guardian sprite that stands
To stay the stroke of reckless hands,
And bid them stay the blow?
That blade descending through the air,
Hung but little instant there,
Then, with one mighty rip and tear,
1t cleayed the pie below.
An hour passed on-poor Joe awoke
From dreams of crushing wheels;
He woke to beat his breast and cry:
oh, take him off The piei the piel''
He woke TO feel that demon poke
His aching stomach with the stroke
OF fifty Thousand donkeys' heels.

Went crushing through his inner man,
And then q knocking cry:
Strikep' a word nd then blow
Strikel' howl of bitter woe!
Strike prov, don't be foolish, Joel
IT'S nothing but the pie.
They fought with many toss and plunge,
As slow the hours went by
The pie would not throw up the sponge,
Nor Joe threw up the pie
Until at last, the moons pale light
Peeped in and saw the woful sight,
And wept silent tear.
Poor Joe lay in a CHASTITY swoon:
a. Dead for a iucati' said the moon;
And waltzed of on her ear.
Come to the throbbing molar, Painl
Come 10 the wretch VINO feels the thrill
When dentists cut and come again,
And ask him TO be still.
Come to the schoolboy when he begs
To stay the birch that welts his legs,
And see the masters smile of scorn.
Come to that double wretch forlorn
Who feels the anguish OF corn,
Crushed underneath the grinding heel,
And groan and cry and howl and swear,
And paw the ground and beat the air,
And think tits pain we feel.
But to the silly wretch who takes
OF cold mince pie in midnight lunch,
There comes a demon form that shakes
A hundred pains with fifty aches,
And GRAMS them down hin in punch
There rest thee, gentle pie, for OH
] covet not thy pains and jerks,
For I've been there myself and know
Just how the old thing works.
pass thee by without regret,
j know that thou art crisp and fine,
But will take no more in mine

OUR PROMIS

Ten years ago Messrs Geo. P. Rowell &
Co. established their advertising agency in
New York City. Five years ago they alb
sorbed the business conducted by Mr.. John
Hooper, who was the first to 60 into this
kind of enterprise. Now they have the sat
sfaction of controlling the most extensive
and complete advertising connection which
has ever been secured, and one which would
be hardly possible in any other country but
this. They have succeeded in working
down complex business into so thoroughly
systematic method that no change in the
newspaper system OF America can escape
notice, while the widest information upon
all topics interesting to advertisers is placed
readily at the disposal OF the public.

entitled to our best services. III they sug-
gest using paper which We know to be not
the best for the purpose, we say so and give
the reasons. We often expend good deal

what they have to disburse, and influence
in our direction the patronage of their
