The. following poem, composed by Mrs:. W. W. Meredith, and was read
at a .concert of the same name held in Seafort>ir some forty years ago. 'IA
copy of it was felted by Mr. Robert Pinkney while assistlug-•at••,rhe recent
auction sale_ at the home of the late R. F. Jones.
The first to be sold in this new fashioned way,
Is the man to whom Seaforth one. time 'had' to pay
The sum of 20Q, now ain't he a genius'?
They can't 'build sidewalks on "Jimmy McGinnis.
Now pass up the street but don't be too quick,
'or I want a high price for Mr. Joe Dick.
And speaking of prices, now wouldn't you grin
If one of you maidens could capture our Wiyn,ne.
With his figure so stately and a smile that's enough
To melt hearts of stone, and then there's Bert flus;
He knows 'how tb walk and his dancing, oh! say
'Tis a dream to remember forever and aye.
• There's another one too, who's not thin nor too stout,
And his (hair isn't grey, but ..it's fast falling out, -
He 'dresses with taste and always looks sweet,
He works at McFaal's and his name is''Jaok Steet.
But you can't all have this one, the seller ban,
I've another one 'here that I call little Dan.
He can curl and . win turkeys, though he's only five feet,
But we know that small dainties are wholesome and sweet.
And then there's another with just the same name,
And when hockey's in season, McLeod's in the game.
When placed with Toni Hatcher he works with a will,
Both these are for sale and they work for George Sills
But if there's a maid that must be in the swim,
Then bid for this lawyer, whose first name is Jim.
Another 'professional man you all say?
Well here is a fine one called Dr., Mackay.
Or if some want a banker, or a man who can't work,
Here's Stevens+ ar Cecil, or Walker, or Kirk;
They're all of them bachelors, and it's my opinion,
They're in a goad bank, in fact the Dominion.
But I'm not near the end, so maids dont be bawling,
There'll be plenty for all; why here's Rogers and Coiling,
Just dying for mates, so who'll be the honey
To make them leave school, and accept matrimony?
Another male .teacher I now bring to view,
He works in the country, yet lives in town too;
And whether you now recognize hi -m or not,
I'll tell you his name, just plain Anclretty Scott.
And wbile we are dealing in Andrews galore,
We must not forget one near C. Andrew's store, .
He will give you your letters from sweetheart or beau
And smiles at you sweetly and looks at you so.
Now while we are selling the bachelors so sweet,
• We must not forget .Fred -Crich, no nor Pete,
They are both up to date, both in selling and buying,
And I know of a truth that -for wives they are sighing.
Another young man who wants a wife smart,
Is that youth at the drug store, called Charles Aberhart. , "
But to leave this one a bachelor 'twould just be a pity,
Who'll bid up for him, this handsome George Beattie.
And now if you're tired, I'll have you to call
And ask for Tom Stephens Who kicked the football.
We can sit down beside him where the trees keep up shady,
And• here I'll present 'to you Mr. Swan Oady.
And while speaking of bachelors, exceedingly swell,
Just run out in the country and see Ralph Cresswell; .
And on your way back,. at the top of the hill,
You'll find Mr. George Jackson, of `Egmondville.
When a husband you've picked, then furnish your nest,:
•And Charlie Broadfoot's the one that can do it the best;• -
Then Alf.. Box is another old bachelor of fame,
Though' I promised him sure I'd not mention his name.
,+ But I'll sell every one, and who's there to hinder?
ho'll_-b' d_iap for the one, that's called Alex. Winter?
'Tom Johnston's another, who is on the' look out
For a maid about 40—tall, handsome and. stout.
' Now who would like this one for a lover or beau,
A prosperous farmer is Jin(. Devereaux; •
And Jim Willis would like to have a Madan oiselle,
And; so would Reg. Wilson and Norman Campbell.^ .
Another old bachelor that's beginning to feel
Alone and forsaken -is Carberry Steele;
Then the one. that in tableux can always'plead hard
Is that dashin young_aount—Waiter Pickard:-
Still the one that would love you down life's, shady lane,
Is a printer by trade and his name's Keith McLean, .
And list till I speak of a widower fair
• With ruddy complexion and nice curly hair.
In fact, he is called Curly •Jack by us all,
And if we say Daddy's Boy he twill answer the call;
Still another I've got, that sets a good: pace
And he's fond of the maids, is this same Narlie Case.
I have other ones too, Brown, McDougall and Jack
And once you have bought them, you won't give them back;
And then there's Fred Cardno, who keeps a bakeshop,
Who will serve you with dainties, both stale, fresh and hot.
There are ethers here too;: some sleek and some shaggy,
And one keeps, a store and his nickname is Aggie;
Then comes Hardware Billy an'd• he says 'tis a •shamey
The<,way the .girls stare at him because he looks Gamey.
And now comes a few that look meek, but are cross,
But the sweetest cif all is Dr. 1'ugh Ross.
Here's another ,so„swell, in fact he is ravish,
He wears a nose 'glass and, therY, •call him McTavish.
But the one that is musical, clever and racey,
The one the' girls cry for, is Lauder DeLacey.
So maids, there's the list, some young ones, some older,
And I pray that we each, lug one home on our shoulder.
Christmas Day Spent In
SimpieOld Fashioned Way
(By Margaret Butcher/5
READING, ENGLAND., ---It seems Christmas of the 'fiercest and most
strange .to be able to say that one
has had "a. happy Christmtas.” And
a surprisdngly short time since I said
it to you before.
For most of us, I bhink, the year
has gone very qu3Ckly, in spite of

Cookie herself, bless her. Ah'! There
is a cook in a thousand! The stag
sat down with us, and Cookie, (Look-

at me with her nine, friendly eyes'. I,
as the guest, was asked to say grace.
