A MYSTERY! oo Ij THAT rustic path was treading, when the sun his rays were shedding—beaming, gleaming, fairly streaming through the trees; and I watched the streamlet glistening, as entranced I there was listening to the melting, merry music on the breeze; when beneath a tree reclining, where no ray of i sun was shining, lo! I saw a fellow-being on the ground! Though no other feature shifted, quickly soon his eyes uplifted—upward lifted as he wildly looked around. “ Good friend,” said I approaching, “Do not charge me with encroaching—are you waiting for some messenger of news?” But no other word he uttered, and no other sentence muttered, save —“ you’ll find there’s none like Phillips’ Clothes and Shoes!” “That’s a strange expression, surely!” said I, looking down demurely. “I trust, good sir, that you the question will excuse.” But he only looked the prouder, as he spoke the words the louder, “ There's always comfort in Phillips’ Clothes and Shoes!” “"Why, bless me, man!’, I shouted, as his sanity I doubted, “’Tis surely nought to me what people’s goods you use!” But he only cried the higher, with enthusiastic fire, “ You’ll save your cash by wearing Phillips’ Clothes and Shoes!” So I left him there reclining, where no ray of sun was shining, and frequently did wonder at the words the man did use ; thinking surely ’twas a mystery, and that some hidden history was weaving round myself and Phillips’ Clothes and Shoes. So then I resolved to buy them ; nay, I felt compelled to try them. And behold! I’ve cause for gladness that the words I deemed were madness induced me thus to purchase Phillips’ Matchless Clothes and Shoes! WHO IS PHILLIPS? WHY, THE CHEAPEST CLOTHIEE IN GKEVTOWN!
