THE ADS.
I used to buy a magazine' ' And quickly strip the cover off, With all the adsi of soap and starch, And mixtures sure to cure a cough Above the printed .pages left, Entranced for.: hours I used to pore, The stories, essays, ancient jokes, And poems perusing o'er and o'er. Buitcswhen I" buy a-magazine To-day, at once I throw, away- ■ The' poetry and .fiction, too, ' ?, ' And cover up its coloure gay, But keep the leaves: that tell us where To buy the things we may tie needing, For advertisements furnish' no\p . The yeryf best and brightest- reading. ;
