'OLD FOGIEs.'
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 a 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"
fellow like this, one day last week,
Upon Market street was seen
In crowd of men who stood around
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 a machine
That may help your case bit,
One into which old fOgies are put,
And then by a crank run through;
They come out young; you may think it strange
But It's not more strange than true
The old man answered, 1--WE been put through
How / 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 shout and laughter peals;
He made no more display of wit,
But made a display of heels.
Those with their foreheads 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 I" old fOgies brand
With the words should lose his tongue.
We hope that all, at the Tower Hall,
viii clothing for life engage:
Be up 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 pull
lie homage to It will ever pay 1t has long bee
an admitted fact that the best place to secur
good and elegant fitting Clothing for Mems Boy
and Children's wear is at GARITEE, MASTEN

The time has passed for the weekly jour
nal of the city to fill the place of news
paper. The daily newspaper from the
great centres of news now reaches into every
section of the land. Every inland city and
every town of importance have their daily
newspapers, and the local weekly, with the
wonderful progress in provincial journa-
lism, meets every want that the daily news
paper fails to supply. The metropolitan
weekly of to-day must be much more than
newspaper; it must be a magazine of
family reading it must lead the magazine
in popular literature; it must lead it in
popular illustration, and it must meet every
requirement of the intelligent reader of
every class.

Harper's Young People.
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The position of Hdrpers Young People as the
leading weekly periodical for young readers is
well established. The publishers spare no pains
to provide the best and most attractive reading
and illustrations. The serial and short stories
have strong dramatic interest while they are
wholly free from whatever is pernicious or vul-
carly sensational: the papers on natural history
and science, travel, and the facts of life are by
writers whose names give the best assurance Of
accuracy and value. Illustrated papers on ath-
letic sports, games and pastimes give full infor-
nation on these subjects. There is nothing cheap
about 1t but its price.
