CHRISTOPHER PRICE.
RY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

There lived miSer in olden times
Whose like could find in a trice;
His name was hoRored because he was rich,
And that name was Christopher Price.
He had houses and lands and Golfers filed
With his boarded stores of gold;
But his fist was clenched like an iron wise
And his heart as Winter as cold.
The needy poor would call at his door.
And ask for Christopher Price:
But he ne'er was known to give them Aught,
Except word of advice.
And this old Chris. was sure to give.
Whatever the tale or woe;
1t cost him nothing. and so, of course,
He advised the beggars 10 90.
In vain they might. with fearful eyes
Their piteOus lot bewail;
The head of dollar would move his heart
But not a dOl-OT-OlS tale.
Yet once in his life he was known TO give
To widow who came 10 beg;
He opened his heart and gave her the broth
In tClich he had bOiied an egg.
Now il so fell out that Chris. fell sick,
And he did not wish to depart;
He sent for doctor and said he thought
lie had a disease of the heart
The doctor smiled and thought of his fec
Then left him powder and pill;
He lived-there was not room in his heart
For enough disease TO kill.
AZ last, one morning he went to look
And gone was his boarded pclf:
At night. when the neigEbOrS happened in,
Old Chris was missing himself.
Twas said that Satan with one of his impS
bargain Of sin had made.
And 81 he seized upon Old Chris. Price,
AMI that was the price he paid
There's another price. and that is the price
OF Clothing at TOWER HALL:
Unlike Old ChristOpher-'tis a price
That is dung good 10 all
Then let my readers listen to me
And will be III adviser:
Buy clothes at the Tower and shun the fate
OF Christopher Price the miser!
