THE SONG OF THE NEW CENTURY.
The TWENTIETH CENTURY has airived, not a minute late, And has brought us something that's strictly up-to-date . That of which I speak in this little paragraph, Is the type writei— "THE NEW CENTURY CALIGRAPH " It has a mimeograph device, well, really it is fine, And a variable space-release, for writing on a line An easv moving margin-stop and tabulating locks • A firm ball-hearing carriage that never, never rocks. The escapement at the back is a marvel worth beholding A short and steady tvpe-bar built for manifolding. It has, above all others, what the world has longed for much — Oh, wonder of all wonders ' That soft and velvet touch ' This is npi idle boast, don't let me see you wink, If I tell you it will write as fast as you can think , And your letters will be written as they never were before, And the postman will be busy bringing orders to your door. — H. B N. Disbrow. T) ALL KOOM DANCING. MRS. H. B. MASON'S Classes for Beginners are held on MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS, at 8 p.m., in her Private Hall. Proficiency guaranteed in six private lessons or one quarter at class. Address— so, Ghuznee-st , next St. Peter's.
