BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
In these modern times fast young man
Who can smoke, chew, drink and play"
And run up bills for the clothes he wears
The bills which he will never pay,
Thinks he is man in wisdom ripe,
And what's for the best can see;
He does not want his fathers advice
A blind old fogy is he"
A fellow like this, one day last week,
Upon Market street was seen
In q crowd of men who stood around
A curious, rare machine
Among the rest was an aged man,
Whose locks were as white as snow;
He wished to see the Improvements made
Since the days of long ago.
The dandy thought there might be a chance
For great display Of wit,
And said !" Old fogy here's machine
That may help your case a bit.
One into which old fOgies are put,
And then by crank run through;
They come out young; you may think it strange
But It's not more strange than true"
The old man answered, I've been put through
How l came out you can see;
And six young men far better than you
Were made of the chips from me-"
The fast young man was completely stunned
By a shout and laughter peals
| He made no more display Of wit
But made a display of heels.
l Those with their fOrcheads furrOwed by time,
Old fOgies we should not call,
For most old men with their judgments ripe,
Buy clothes at the Tower Hall.
And doing this, an example set
For others to save their dimes:
| Which shows that they are not fogies, no
| But fully up to the times
| Our sires and grandsires should command
| Respect from those that are young:
/ He who would then as " old fOgies brand,
With the words should lose his tongue.
/ We hope chat all, at the Tower Hall,
/ Will clothing for life engage
/ Be Cup and dressed" while doing their best,
In keeping pace with age.
| "Old Age" must ever command respect, an
| dressed in neat and good fitting clothing the pul
| lie homage to it will ever pay. It has long bee
/ an admitted fact that the best place TO secul
/ good and elegant fitting Clothing for Mems, Boy
| and Childrens wear is at GARITEE, MASTEN

But what is that compared to the daring scheme of making the rescuers of beleaguered General Gordon emissa1ies i'll the great work of disseminating knowledge among the hea- then oe the remarkable virtE7es of pill? Yet this has been carried out in sober earnest. The manufacturer of the pill has sent to Gen eral Wolseley 10, ,000 hand-bills extolling its merits and a check for $750. The hand-bills are to be distributed among the Gordon re- lief expedition, and the $750 is to be given to that soldier who first reaches General Cor don's palace in Khartoum and pastes on it's outer door one of the 10000 hand-bills. In bis letter to Lord Wolseley the enterprislng pill-maker says he has sent large number of the hand-bills so that each soldier ill the expedition can be furnished with copy and thus have an even start ill the race as far as he can provide for it. His object in prescrib- ing that the bill shall be stuck on the palace door is simply to show who is entitled to the prize, and he adds that the name of the win ner will be published in every paper in Eng land, thus giving him undying fame.
