Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love Sonnets, and various other standard works may be quoted. Samples of the works of Levin poets, also, may ,be procured at Thompson's. One of . them, who will do better when ho 'grows older, assures us that— i "Mr Thompson keeps a booksellers shop in Levin — And it is the prettiest bookseller's shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. If you want a nice little book Yon can do no bettor than call At Mr Thompson's Book Arcade. Levin." There wore quite a number of Oliau and Levin and Wernroa poets moved to measured praise by th<> offer of a prize for the best vorsified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes :■—■ "There's a stationery shop iw Levin you should know, "Where all the eonnnonsonse peoplo do go. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop when'ov they are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in the many verse;; sent in' the judge has decided to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S HOl/iv ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown l'Yui - good quality goods; its the best in the town.
