Important to all are the facts I'm recording, 'Cause times now are bad, we must cut things according ; No doubt they'll improve when the hole's thro' the hill, And that's not far off, now they've put through the Bill. • Till then we must get on the best way s we can, Don't run up long bills, but pay cash is the plan ■ To get most for our money, and make both ends meet ; To deal with H. 8., who lives near Matson's Creek, And opposite Meeeh, that very dreadful man, Who oft disturbs ye harmony of that peaceful Joying clan Of noble-minded Councillors, who meet every other week ; In the grand old Council Chamber l down Balguerie street. ; I think you know by this whore's Henry Billens' shop. ■ But for fear you make mistake and into some other pop, I have made a grand discovery, for which I claim renown, That Economy House is " slap bang " In the centre of the town. So now I'll continue my wares to describe, And first on the list to catch 'em alive, » Is the new patent mousetrap, that never • needs baiting , , . And pleases the mice, for it don't keep them waiting ; ' t Mixed biscuits, Noah's arks, and sauce- [ pans enamel, Dutch hoes and fine pencils from hair of the camel, ' Swiss cigars, French fiddles, Yankee augers that travel, P Jack-planes, Tomahawks, and shovels ■ for gravel, Water monkeys, gold lockets, andeau-de-cologne, 5 Scotch mixtures, brass cannons, shirt studs, pearl and bone, " Plumbobs, oyster knives, and cherry ' wood pipes, ? Dog whistles, cow bells, with string to ' fly kites, \ Jam jars, tissue paper, soft solder, clothes pegs, Bird cages, stone lime, graters for nut- ' megs, I Tin whistles, note-paper, meat stands with three legs, \ Wire skewers, and grindstones, new I beaters for eggs, " Tool baskets, prize books, and tackle for fishing, Iron bedsteads, and fenders for parlor and kitchen, Tin pannikins, vases, bottle blacking, and cakes, Shaving brushes, good scissors, with gridirons for steaks. I So now once again I will bid you adieu, Tho' my paper is full, I'm not half-wjdy ■] through ; / 1 As a parting salute, I'll add one oilier scrap, / I'm off to the Council to have a /short nap. /
