Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love Sonnets, and various other standard i works may he quoted. Samples of the works of Levin poets, also, may >1 bo procured at Thompson's. One of [ them, who will do better when lie f grows older, assures us that— i j "Mr Thompson keeps a bookselj lers shop in Levin — And it is the prettiest bookseller's shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. If you want a nice little book You can do no better than call At Mr Thompson's Book Arcade. Levin." There were quite a number of Oliau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved to measured praise by t-lio offer of a prize for the best versified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes:—• "There's a stationery shop in Levin you should know, Where all the coniinonsensc people do go. There are a few more who live round about Should, visit this shop when'er they are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in the many verses sent in' the judge has decided to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S I'.Oulv ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown For goo'! qualify goods; its the best !'!ie town. Another 100. the prices are fair. And flu •.'< no overcharging or huge :'to.,.s there: So if yo ■■'re over iu Levin —this lively !;u!e (own — Just step inl'v Thompson's nnc have qvi:'. round.
