And at Ballance Street, Wellington, and N'apier. W7y, j ! THOMPSON'S BOOK ARCADE The works of all the leading poets of past and present times are to be found on the bookshelves at THOMPSON'S, Oxford Street, Levin. Spenser's "Faery Queen." Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love Sonnets, and various other standard works may be quoted. Samples of the works' of Levin poets, also, may be procured at Thompson's. One of I them, who will do better when lie > grows older, assures us that— i "Mr Thompson keeps a booksellers shop in Levin — And it is the prettiest bookseller'sshop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. Tf 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 Ohau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved t-o measured praise by the 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, Whore all the cominonscnse 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' Hie judge has decided to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S BOulv ARCADE "Of course yon all know this place of renown For good quality goods; its the best in the town. Another thing too, the prices are fair, And tin : f's no overcharging or proms there; So if v;;:Vf ever in Levin—this live! / liitlc town — Just stc ;> into Thompson's and have a qui:', round. !'.;r they've choice there to distraction. And the ros-ilt yon will find is groat .'•atlsfaction." .! ICSSIR CAMPBELL. J. W. Thompson BOOK ARCADE, LfiVIN.
