"" ‘Our Village Store.
— BY ABBY ALLIN-
Did’ you ever think as you passed by its (I00l'9
Vlllnit a. curious place is our village store ?
Not one of your city. town-bred afiitir:-',
‘With fasltion-ln'cI.l _s;r;icos and l’ompadourairs,
Rivstling with gexv-g:m's of every variety.
‘.Vilh satins aml laces fortlre first in society;
But. a .~:hop——a Bazaar. on a. mi_niat.ure scale,
For making large profits on_.ev-ery small sale.
\Vith its shielding stoop audits open shed.
\Vhore'lhe horses are covered. rested_an’rl fed;
Vlfbere queerost advertisements . are pasted
about, _ y , - ' ,. _ L
From the \vl1i,c_is and the locos,the ins and the out.
Tlw. number of votes each party hath polled ;‘,
Auctions and failures, and farms to be sold ;
Vt’ith suclrother items as deck out the shed—-
Ahuge Yankee scrap-book, ingeniously spread.
How often I pause. are I. open the door,
To read t.hu advertisements overand o’er;
For the pillars. the sliulters within and without,
Are gziudiiy lettered around and about;
For sale! Calland see! Whateveryou please;
Eggs newly laid; and fresh butter and cheese:
Dry goods and hardware; potash a nd grain ;
Glasswm e and china, figured and plain;
Currants and raisins. saleratus, molasses;
I-lay sec-.d—bent, red-top. and all other grasses;
Drugs, pijtes and tobacco; sugar and fish ;
For cash, very low, just whatever you wish.
Throw open the door, and venture within;
The scene is as odd as the outer hath been;
One. side of the store has the delf and the
gmceries; - .
The other side dry goods and post ofiice is,
W'hose short row of boxes look pert and
pedantic, ' ' .
And so very vacant, they smack ofthe romantic!
A black looking stove. some benches. a chair,
\-Vitli three or four louugcrs all ready to stare;
\Vhile close by the counter, too lazy to stir,
Lies stretched a Néwfoundlandui spaniel, a cur!
If their masters must meet to talk of the
weather,
And the best means of holding. the Union
to,gether,
Pray, why shouldn't they seize the same
opportunit.y -
To talk ofthe riglus oftbe canine community.
And each to the other in friendship made known
Where the best chances lie for securing abone.
The show-box lrodcclecd in a 'brillia_nt. array,
Still holds oirtho counter its glittering swa_\,-';
A motley a<seml)lage of kni::k-knocks and toys;
Doll‘s heads for tile";/i1‘ls.:i ad fish hooks for boys,
Soup for their d:ulc:l—ies, with merits so flush.
A clean shave without e‘n a rtr/.or or brush!
The shop of our villagn——my time is too short
To tell you our-.-hulfof the worrlers I 0ll','1lllll
It is here the mechanic finds tools to his hands,
And the farmer his also for tilting the la-n-ds ,
It. is here the good dame t'ru}_ral and liiriving,
Mn lees salefor the butter and eggs of her hiving.
And with the proceeds of her well-studied
barter .
Supplietli the wants of each x-o.=iy-clieelged
dnuglit.cr— ' V
Buys stripes for the boys, with one suit of
(lrillmg,
And the girls each a dress for a sixpencc or
shilling.
It is here that the child with such eagerness
comes.
And standcth on tiptoes to buy sugar plums:
Brimfnl of importance-—tl1e cents how they
ring !
He-"s as large as a maa,aud as proud as a king!
ll; is here tru.=_.nt. boys buy their powder and
shot;
It is here politicians plot and mar—plot.
Grow red with their own lnagailocio and noise.
And act, shall I say it '3 like bullying boys!
The shop of our village; no city or town
H itli ever a shop to compare with our own!
Though homely its mien, and rustic its grace,
It is, notwitllstamling. a prominent place,
It serves for our post-office, I ending room, store,
\Vith goods both domestic and foreign ; and
more,
’Tis the general exchange for whatever you
cl:oose——
The place for the bargains——t.he focus for news :
And should it by chance either burn or blow
down, i
Alas! for the village! Alas! for the town!
The whole country round would be lost in
amnz€——
Mun. woinan and boy dress in crape “ thirty
clays.” '
Can’t do..witlmut a Paper.
A sox.ILoQUY or “our: or THE ri;om.xs."
\Vhat l do without a paper? No!
I’ve tried it to my sorrow ;
So, to subscribe for one l’l,l go,
Nnr wait until to'mnrrow.
Should lovers hang or drown themselves,
Or other foolish caper,
I never get to hear of it———
I do not take the paper!
\Vhy. there’s my neighbor. Toby Stout,
He always hears the news,
And having news to talk about,
He never gets the “ blues ;”
While others yawn ennui.
His mindis light. as vapor;
The cause is plain to half an eye-—
He always takes the paper?
\Vhile ne'.ghbor Stout hen rs all_the _news,
And knows each current price.
And always mindstbe P33 and Q’s,
By taking good advice.
I cannot tell the price of grain,
Of poultry, coffee, tape. or
Any kind of merchandize,
Because I take no paper.
Though I have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet I can sparea little time.
As well as Stout. my neighbour.
Though time be precious. I can use
A longer midnight taper. ,
And thus find time to” read the .news"--
Therefore I’il take the paper ! '
But. now. which one shall I select.
.» So many greet my ,vision,?
. One _stnbborn fact which ldetect .
