A FAMOUS HUNT.
Mrs. Absalom Jones went hunting one day— Not over the prairies and hills, far away For chickens, or quail, or for any such game But down the street called Massachusetts she came, To find, for herself and her fair daughters eight, New dresses, before the season was late And the best styles all gone. That morn, Mr. Jones ad in sorrow exclaimed in his most doleful tones :
"The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year, Nine women in the house to clothe, And dry goods awful dear."
As down the long street Mrs. Jones slowly passed, She saw just before her a concourse so vast That it filled all the street; and looking o'er head This legend in letters of gold plainly read ; "Dry goods cheap for cash, The very latest crash, This is our song, all day long 'Dry goods cheap for cash.'"
Mrs. Jones at first wondered, then turned to the door And with the throng entered Geo. A. Hunt's mammoth store. Of the bargains she found there it would take long to tell, Though on their beauty and goodness we gladly would dwell. Mrs. Jones's long hunting is now safely o'er; Mr. Jones o'er her dry goods' billls worries no more. Now for bargains in dry-goods go see Geo. A. Hunt, Eighty-one Massachusetts Street, at the "White Front."
