Queen St., Lancaster They Stand Astonished J at the prices at which we are offering Whitewash, Scrub, Horse, Paint and all other kind of Brushes, and well they may for such bargains have not been known before. Gould our Brushes_ speak, they would remonstrate at the low prices at which we sacrifice them. But our prices speak and the brushed remain dnmb through the bustle with indignation. Now the robin pipes its greetings As t h e herald of t h e spring, Though the forests still are leafless And the skies arc lowering; But the merry little whistler Shrilly calls f r om roof and tree To its mate, and quickly answer Comes like echo of its glee. I t is not t h e flowing music Of the birds t h a t later sing; There Is not t h e gaudy plumage That t he balmy days will bring; But it's melody inspiring That is heard when winds are rude, And we gladly hail the singer Though its garb is sober hued. Like a mesrage filled with comfort, Quick to elevate and cheer, Is the piping of the robin "When t h e fields and woods are drear. For the message i t is telling, Causing hearts with joy to leap, Is of n a t u r e ' s resurrection After long and deathlike sleep Other birds will sing in summer, And the woods with song' will ring, But there's nothing like the music Of the heralds of the spring. Other music may be softer, Tuned with all the warbler's art, But the song when days are dreary Is the song that stirs the heart. First to come and last to leave us Is the bird that now we hail; And we hear Its merry, whistling When all o t h e r songsters fail. Ere the winter has departed . I t is cheering hearts of men, For we know we're near the springtime When the robins come again. mm Silas a n d M a r i a H i g l i g r a s s ' Experien ce W h i l e i n t h e Q u a k e r City.

Queen St., Lancaster They Stand Astonished J at the prices at which we are offering Whitewash, Scrub, Horse, Paint and all other kind of Brushes, and well they may for such bargains have not been known before. Gould our Brushes_ speak, they would remonstrate at the low prices at which we sacrifice them. But our prices speak and the brushed remain dnmb through the bustle with indignation. Now the robin pipes its greetings As t h e herald of t h e spring, Though the forests still are leafless And the skies arc lowering; But the merry little whistler Shrilly calls f r om roof and tree To its mate, and quickly answer Comes like echo of its glee. I t is not t h e flowing music Of the birds t h a t later sing; There Is not t h e gaudy plumage That t he balmy days will bring; But it's melody inspiring That is heard when winds are rude, And we gladly hail the singer Though its garb is sober hued. Like a mesrage filled with comfort, Quick to elevate and cheer, Is the piping of the robin "When t h e fields and woods are drear. For the message i t is telling, Causing hearts with joy to leap, Is of n a t u r e ' s resurrection After long and deathlike sleep Other birds will sing in summer, And the woods with song' will ring, But there's nothing like the music Of the heralds of the spring. Other music may be softer, Tuned with all the warbler's art, But the song when days are dreary Is the song that stirs the heart. First to come and last to leave us Is the bird that now we hail; And we hear Its merry, whistling When all o t h e r songsters fail. Ere the winter has departed . I t is cheering hearts of men, For we know we're near the springtime When the robins come again. mm Silas a n d M a r i a H i g l i g r a s s ' Experien ce W h i l e i n t h e Q u a k e r City.
