/" Why Spoil The
Day" Poor Pc.
Muses., Friday

sAnd sadness came like blight
That's what P. E. Fullerton, the
merchant, was thinking Friday. He
couldn't help but recall the words of
the immortal sonnet-because one
parody will recall another
Christmas he received token OF
the season from friend--perhaps he
meant well. 1t was a stamped and
addressed card, on the back of which
the words of the song which
runs like this There are smiles"
Attached to one end of the card, By
a short piece of hemp rope, was a
cork-relic of bygone days.
Music hath charms to soothe the
sa age breast. But that song, with
the significant memento appended,
did more than to soothe the savage
breast; it stirred within memoirs, sad
and doleful, of a pleasure P. e might
have had on tine happy Yule tide!
