There are some’people n ;tr town, Who think they know it all : And they seldom trade at Ashton. As the town is far too small. Still they sometimes hny on eredit From our merehants as a matter of pity ; And when they have some easti tottpend, its hiked to some big city. lint human nature is nuieh the same. No matter w here you go ; And some will give it as an excuse That Ashton is too slow t And In Ashton's surrounding sister tow ns. Or cousin towns to say the I he loast, They say nothiug there will suit them, So tlieir money goes farther east. To Chicago, that lifg city linn by capitalists from fork ; They don’tseem to get Just w hat they want So they sent east to New York. And in New York too you tiud such people, For in nature its sure to be ; Who can’t lind things to suit them there.

One Point of View. “I am very much afraid that you do not appreciate the spirit of a free country," “Oh, yes I do,” answered the man who had recently landed in New York, in a dialect which it is needless to reproduce. “What do you understand by a free country?’’ “It is a place where you are free to do as you choose if you manage to get on the police force.” 0 ISOS ky Ctttitr’t U'nHy.
