A DRAPER’S YARN. It's just five years ago to-day, That 1 remember well. I sat down on a Greytowu stile A story for to tell. It was about a Draper’s lad Who had just started here, lie sold his goods at such a price You could not call them dear. He started in a little place Not more than ten fe?t square, Then he found that he must rise And add a little “ main.” Now he's gone in for greater things And trouble doth he fear. Disturb him lots. Don’t let him rest, And then he’ll never need a bier. He sat me down in his new shop And told what bargains be didjmake. He told me that the goods he sold For quality weto first rate. And to prove that truth were in his words, He led me round and round, And in fixture after fixture, The proof was easily found. I stood astonished and amazed At the rapid strides he’d made, And when 1 asked the question hew, This is simply what he said, That one and all, both great and small Had given him a lift. Then they said “ you must go ahead, Or else you'll have to make a shift.” And now'he’s getting in The latest style, Marie Which will be his darling and his pride, And there ’ll helots for you and mo. And we’ll not need to get them dyed, For the colors are the brightest, And they will not easily fade, .tnd the texture is the Tightest, And in almost any shade. And as I passed his window' Mt heart went pit-a-pat, For there I saw r that everything was quite eclat. The Drapery and the Clothing seemed everything the same. Variety was charming, But nothing in excess. Wo can do nothing that will harm It: wishing him success.
