i THOMPSON'S BOOK ARCADE The works of all the leading poets of past ami, present times are to be found 011 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 w.ork.s may be quoted. Samples of the works of Levin poets, also, may be procured at Thompson's. One of them, who will do bettor when he grows older, assures us that— ij lj "Mr Thompson keeps a booksolj ler.s shop in Levin — I And it is the prettiest bookseller's I shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. If you want a nice little book j You can do no better than call At Mr Thompson's Book Arcadc. Levin." There wore quite a number of Oliau and Levin an'd Weraroa poets movod to measured praise by the offer of a prize for the best vorsified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes:— "There's a stationery shop i» Levin you should know, Where all the coininonsense peoplo do go. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop wheiver they arc 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 BOuiv ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown For good_ quality goods; its the host in the town. Another thing too, the prices are fair, And there's no overcharging or huge proms there; So if y<. i'iv ever in Levin—this live!.' lilile town — Just step 'iii > Thompson's and have a (jmix round. For I lie; \ chi'ice there to distraction. An.! the r-s-dt you will find is great «a!lsfaction." JKSSIH CAMPBELL. J. W. Thompson BOCMs ARCADE, LEVIN.
