The Chrysantnemum.

The Chlysanthemum.
In all the florists windows,
And ON street corners, too,
The chosen flower of autumn
Now blossoms into viewi
Along with crisp November's days
Full stately doth it come,
/ With not peer in all the land
The proud chrysanthemum!
Here's to the naughty flower
That with such splendid grace
Doth flaunt its glorious beauty
Right in old winters face!
Il What though with clouds o'ersliad-
owed
Sweet heavens looks grew glumg
There's smile in every petal

pay extortionate prices. That is
to say, they demand the worth of
their money. 1t is the controlling
sentiment of self-preservation f.
nanoially which impels them to
turn to the advertising columns of
a reliable newspaper for informa-
ton as to goods and prices. Many
intending purchasers may have u
favorite store in mind; but if there
be no business announcements to
tell of it, while scores of other es-
Establishments are extensively and
alluringly advertised, that one par
ticular store is certain to be ig-
nored.
