THE MAN WHO DOESN'T ADVERTISE.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead That to himself he hath not .said, "My trss.lo of late is getting had, I'll try mi other ten-inch ad " If such there he, go mark him well, For 11iin no 1 ank account shali swell — No anyel watch the jjoldou stair To welcome I'.onie a millionaire. To Mich p. iii.iii the nois , ' din Of trr;the may not enter in, For bargain hunters by the s'-yro Hhall pnss nor heed his door; For though hh; is on the wall And un some barnyard gate a si-rawl, No people who have cash and sense, Go prancing , round to read ilio fence. The man who never asks for trade By local line or ad. displayed, (.'ares more for rest than worldly gain, And patronape but j>'ives him pain: Tread lightly, friends, lot no rude sound Disturb bis solitude profound. Here let him live in culm repose, Unsought except by man he owes, And when he dies, ;:o plant him deep, That nouvlit mv.y break his dreamless bleep Where no rude clamour may dispel The quiet that lie loved so well. And that the world may know its loss, Place on his grave a wreath of moss, And on the stone above, "Here lies A chump who wouldn't ailverti.se."
