Beans are a vegetable,
Both staple and rare;
And considered in our town,
As indispensable fare.
We like them baked,
Sweetened, roasted and fried;
And always must have them,
Thoughve have nothing beside.

When beans meet mj' gaze,
Oil! how happy I feel.

From the fair matron's door,

Twenty Years Experience

quirements of the trade. Come one and all

be useless for ine to tell you all theadvantages
I can offer you in t he sale of goods, as every

object is to tell all my old friends now that I
am still alive, and desirous to sell goods cheap,
