Stands burdened with a debt, Which we resolve (if you permit) Shall now be promptly met. To this intent, a Grand Bazaar Is held by us to-day; And fifteen hundred pounds the sum We fondly hope to pay. The cause is good; then quickly prove Your gratitude for health, By giving with a willing heart Of your abundant wealth. Or if not quite disposed to give, Then freely buy, I pray, Of the rich stores of wondrous art Displayed for you to-day.

Presents there are for Boys and Girls, And darling Pets at home, And souvenir for Grandmamma, If too infirm to come. And, mingling with the festive scene, Is music's witching voice, Swelling, in harmony divine, Man's spirit to rejoice. Beneath the master hand of "Best" The organ springs to life, Like some roused monster in his lair, Goaded to deadly strife. Attuned to Angel sweetness, then, And tremblings of delight,
