Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," lOlizabeth Barrett Browning's Love Sonnets, and various other standard works may lie quoted. Samples of tlio works of Levin poets, also, may be procured at Thompson's. One of them, who will do better when lie grows older, assures us that— ' "Mr Thompson keeps a booksel- ! lers shop in Levin — ; And it is the prettiest bookseller's j shop that ever was seen, j There's hooks by galore. ; If you want a nice little boolr j Von can do no better than call < At M,r Thompson's Book Arcade. ! Levin." There were quite a number of Ohau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved to measured praise by tho offer of a prize for the best versified com posit ion. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes: "There's a stationery shop in Levin you should know, Where all the cominonsenso people do £0. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop wheu'or they are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in tho many verses sent in' the judge lias decided to award the prize of five shillings to j the following effort: - THOMPSON'S BOutv ARCADE "Of course you aTI know this plaee of renown I'Vr grod quality goods; it.s the l«ost in the town.
