N.B. —A portrait of the establishment on view at the bar. Advt. A M Y S T E R Y ! I THAT rustic path was treading, when the sun his rays were shedding—beaming, gleaming, fairly streaming through the trees; and 1 watched the streamlet glistening, as entranced I there was listening to the melting, merry music on the breeze; when beneath a tree reclining, where no ray of sun was shining, lo ! I saw a fellow-being on the ground ! Though no other, feature shifted, quickly soon his eyes uplifted— upwards lifted as he wildly looked around. “ (rood friend,” said I approaching, “Do not charge me with encroaching—are you waiting for some messenger of news P” But no other word he uttered, and no other sentence muttered, save—“ you’ll find there’s none like McLaughlan’s Hats and Clothes !” “That’s a strange expression, surely!” said 1, looking down demurely. “ I trust, good sir, that you the question will excuse.” But he only looked the prouder, as he spoke the words the louder, “ There’s always comfort in McLaughlan’s Hats and Clothes “ Why, bless me, man !’, I shouted, as his sanity I doubled, “’Tis surely nought to me what people’s goods you use !” But he only cried tile higher, with en thusiastic fire, “ You'll save your cash by wearing McLaughlan’s Hats and Clothes !” So 1 left him there reclining, where no ray of sun was shining, and frequently did wonder at the words the man did use; thinking surely ’twas a mystery, and that some hidden history was weaving round myself and McLaughlan’s Hats and Clothes. So then 1 resolved to buy them ; nay, I felt compelled to try them. And behold i I’ve cause for gladness that the words I deemed were madness induced me thus to purchase McLaughlan’s Matchless Hats and Clothes j Who is McLaughlan ? why, the Cheapest clothier in Blenheim— Adct.
