If THERE IS A GOOD TIME COMING .

The "good" times are always coming, and they are
always gone. The "hard times" are always now and al
ways will be. The exceptions to the rule are Christmas
and New Years days-they crowd out "hard times" and
give us good times" But there can be no "good
times" Christmas or no Christmas, without Cakes and
"sich ike"-"Frank the Baker says so, and it is so.
Therefore he is ready, as he always is on such occasions,
with Toy Cakes, Pound Cakes, Sponge Cakes, plain and
ornamental Cakes, Sugar Toys, Candy-all kinds, and
free of poison.

and the light of Thy countenance has

raised in Thanksgiving and praise, but
our present punishment is greater than
we can bear. If in thy divine wisdom
Thou dost see fit to make Thy servants
happy in this vale Of tears we would
ask that in Thy great mercy Thou
wouldst hurry towards completion

that Thy servant Wyard may soon be
incarcerated therein, and a cell re-
served for his brother Catherwood,
named Thomas,-he that lays awake
at night-not to open Ills heart to
Thee, but to devise various schemes to
defraud his honest creditors. Amen.
