Weekly (circulation, 90,000) Special Notices, Weekly V leaded, for the space occupied. PAYMENT REQUIRED IN ADVANCE. How doth the little busy Frog Improve the shining hour,And prove himself a faultless prog- Nostic of shade and shower. Wiser than any Ladder Day Prophet is he, his tongueIs silent, but in every way He hath the changes Rung. The mercury when t will be warm, And he do rise afar,But come there threatenings of a storm, Look out for Lower Bar. The brute creation travelleth To the observers gate ;The Great Bear in his Ulster saith, Shall I Hiberniate?: The Cranes do crane their necks to learn To Egypt shall they flock,Where warmer sun than ours doth burn And murmur, That s the Stork! While all the planets as they roll,—The sun, the moon, good lack, Proclaim the truth from pole to pole,The Worlds Almaniac.
