'Gainst whom "the devil" bears a
grudge;
For Wednesday mornings he's obnox-
ious,
Because on Tuesdays he hunts foxes.
There's j. F. Wallace, Clerk Of Court,
Who chronicles the lawyers sport,
And makes you swear an affidavit,
When you've case and wish to save
It.
There's Clawson, with his patent way
The debts of busted" chaps to pay;
And Thomson, Metts and Jefferys, p
The bankrupt's usual referees;
And Squire Miles. who drums up
For Glenn's hotel, on shortest orders.
Besides all these, the wants Of trade
Require some columns, well displayed.
Our town Is now supplied with stores,
Where cash Is welcomed in the draw
ers.
There's Adickes. who will scrape and
bow
Q'n bet he's blarneying right now3
To sell a coat or calico frock,
With colors lasting as the rock.
There's Bratton and Mason and With
With Sam Moore to help out the ithers,
Who bring on lots of dry goods boxes;
So theirs, judge a gem Of stock Is.
Not far away Is Major Avery,
With an assortment Of things savoury,
For which, Dan Williams, IL you're
rash,
Will soon relieve you Of your cash.
There's Dobson, who has cords and
oceans
or fancy tricks and Yankee notions;
But Of his stock we need not speak.
His horn blows weekly, but not weak
And right across Is B. P. Boyd,
Who In the cat trade is employed,
He keeps on hand two black felines
To guard his oysters and sardines,
There's John H. Adams, who attracts
The fair sex by his handsome Macs,
Whose winning looks no doubt an aid
Is,
In selling dresses to the ladies.
And there's another bachelor lark,
Who keeps store-his names Frank
Clark.
He, too, is in the dry goods market,
And with his fair friends likes to 'SparR
it.
His big bud, Jim, and Alfred Carroll
Sell rice and sugar by the barrel.
Jim hops quite spry on his game leg,
But In dull times sits on q keg,
And reads the papers. chews his
quid, o,
Or, may be, thinks Of some gay widow
There's Lederer, prepared to trade
In suits of clothing ready made.
But If you wish to set your trigger
For clothes that will show Off your
figure,
Evans or owens will take your meas.
ure, .
And slash your cloth up with great
pleasure
If you get sick and need a grain
OF medicine to ease your pain,
See Allison or Kuykendal.
They'll sell you what you like, and all
Their bitters, powders, salVes and pills
Are warranted to cure all Ills.
Should you desire an ambrotye,
Or photograph, Of any stripe,
Just climb two stairs and call on
Schorb;
He'll take 1t, aided by Soils orb.
II you desire handsome coach,
Just tell your wish to Kerr and Roach;
They'll fix up harness for your phaeton
Unless you get it from old Peyton,
Who Is in business with O'Leary,
To keep a stock of saddle geary.
The usual gifts for holidays
Can be obtained from Doctor Mays,
Or from Squire Jefferys, of from Zucher
And If your grinders need refilling,
Why Doctor Walker Is quite willing
To plug the holes, remove the achers
And fix your teeth to say jaw-break-
erS.
II you have any thought Of marrying,
The knot can be tied without tarrying;
There's Johnson, Latham, Gaines or
Dickson,
Who soon with wedlock's chain can fix
one.
And then to Chester you can ride,
And take q tour Of bridal pride,
Swiftly as If on eagles wings,
Upon our railroad worked by Springs.
In short, York is a model town,
And what it does, 1t does brown.
It has its share Of beauteous bellies,
And boasts a few enchanting "swells;"
It has no rowdies and few quarrels,
And, all in all, can brag on morals.
But, though wish our town no evil,
I hope it win not dodge "the devil"
While he goes round to get his pay
On eighteen-seventy's New Years day.
