— Our esteemed contributor, Mrs. Irene Pomeroy Shields, published some 

 lines, in another publication, unfortunately, that have remained fixed in the gray 

 matter that I am pleased to call my brain. They are as follows: 



" 'Get a move on,' my son, 'get a move on,' 



" 'Who squanders his time is a dunce, 

 " 'Why, even the planet we live on, 



" 'Is making two motions at once. 

 " 'And if earth with her ages uncounted, 



" 'Goes whirling around night and day, 

 " 'Then man, through his short span allotted, 



" 'Has no time to idle away." 



This is good advice., and I have been carrying it out in theory for many 

 years. I also want you fellows to get a move on and make this page of mine 

 the medium of more real, live business transactions, back and forth between friends, 

 than any similar page published on the continent. 



Almost every member of Recreation's great family has something he or 

 she wants to sell, or knows of something he or she would like to buy. Now, that 

 you have the privilege of transacting dealings through an absolutely honest broker,, 

 get busy! 



I wonder why more taxidermists do not advertise in Recreation ? Only 

 the other day I happened to drop into Edward Von Hofe's Fishing Tackle Em- 

 porium, on Fulton street, and noticed a superb specimen of the Amber Jack. It 

 seems this magnificent fish weighed ninety-two< pounds when caught at Palm 

 Beach, and it is believed to be the record of its species caught on -the rod. But the 

 reason I allude to it more particularly is, that the artist who can do such perfect 

 work — for the fish seems almost alive — makes a mistake in hiding his light under 

 a bushel. I predict that, if that man put a card in Recreation, he would become 

 enormously wealthy.
